본 연구에서는 상수도관의 도 송수관등 대형관(700mm 이상)에 주로 사용되고 있는 도복장강관의 품질 및 시공, 유지관리에 영향을 미치는 용접접합의 현황을 조사 분석하고 용접접합의 개선방안에 대하여 연구하였다. 이를 위해 강관의 사용현황 등의 문제점을 조사하고 용접접합별 특성, 그리고 수동 및 자동 용접접합을 비교 분석하여 기술적, 경제적으로 효과적인 방안을 제시하고자 하였다. 본 연구에서 비교 분석한 용접접합별 특성 검토 결과, 상수도 관로의 관경 700mm - 3,000mm의 현장 시공시 자동용접공법이 수동용접공법에 비해 순공사비 대비 평균 9% 절감되며, 용접공정만 비교시에는 평균 13.5% 이상 절감될 것으로 판단된다. 특히, KS상 강관 진원도에 대한 허용치가 크며 대부분 겹치기 이음으로 되어있는 국내 현실에서 작업환경이 열악한 경우 진원확보를 위한 시간이 무한정 소요될 수 있어 실제적인 절감액은 더욱 차이를 보일 것으로 사료된다.

Frame composed of concrete-filled steel tubular columns and I-shaped steel beam has been researched in order to development reasonable connection details. The present paper describes the results of an experimental program in four different connection details. The connection details considered include through-bolt between I-shaped steel beams and concrete-filled steel tubular columns and two details of welded connections. One of the welded connection details is stiffened by angles welded in the interior of the profile wall at the beam flange level. The specimens were tested in a cruciform loading arrangement with variable monotonic loading on the beams and constant compressive load on the column. For through-bolt details, the contribution of friction and bearing were investigated by embedding some of the bolts in the concrete. The results of the tests show that through-bolt connection details are very ductility and the bearing is not important to the behavior of these moment connections. The angles welded in the interior of the profile wall increase the strength and stiffness of the welded connection detail. In addition, the behavior curves of these connections are compared and some interesting conclusions are drawn. The results are summarized for the strength and stiffness of each connection.

An experimental study on the ultimate behaviors of the mild carbon steel (SPHC) fillet-welded connection is presented in this paper. Seven specimens were fabricated by the shielded metal arc welding (SMAW). All specimens failed by typical block shear fracture in the base metal of welded connections not weld metal. Block shear fracture observed in the base metal of welded connection is a combination of single tensile fracture transverse to the loading direction and two shear fractures longitudinal to the loading direction. Test strengths were compared with strength predictions by the current design equations and suggested equations by previous researchers. It is known that current design specifications (AISC2010 and KBC2016) and Oosterhof & Driver's equation underestimated overly the ultimate strength of the welded connection by on average 44%, 31%, respectively and prediction by Topkaya's equation was the closest to the test results. Consequently, modified equation is required to be proposed considering the stress triaxiality effect and material property difference on the block shear strength for base metal fracture in welded connections fabricated with mild carbon steel.

캘리포니아의 강구조 모멘트프레임은 1994년 노스리지 지진시 6.8의 규모와 진앙지에서 근접한 지리적인 악조건에도 불구하고 붕괴나 인명피해 없이 잘 견뎌냈다. 그러나 이후 시행된 조사에서 경제적으로 지진시 안전하다고 믿어져 널리 쓰인 welded flange-bolted web(WFBW) 강접합부(moment connection)의 기둥과 용접의 경계면에서 취성 파괴가 다수 발견되었다. 이논문은 선형파괴역학과 노스리지진이후의 WFBW 강접합부 실험을 이용하여 WFBW 강접합부와 노스리지지진이후 기존 강접합부의 대안으로 추천되고 있는 reduced beam section (RBS) 강접합부의 취성 파괴강도를 결정하는 수치적인 방법을 제안하고 이를 이용하여 이들 강접합부의 취성 파괴모드를 추정하였다.

최근에 스테인리스강의 우수한 연성과 내식성 등의 재료적 특성으로 건축물의 구조용 강재로 적용하기 위한 많은 연구들이 수행되어 오고 있다. 특히, 니켈을 거의 함유하고 있지 않은 페라이트계 스테인리스강은 재료비 측면에서 니켈을 함유하고 있는 오스테나이트계 스테인리스강에 비해 저렴하고 탄소강에 비해서는 월등한 내식성능과 구조성능을 제공하기 때문에 그 사용성이 증대되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 페라이트계 스테인리스강 용접접합부에 있어 용착금속이 아닌 모재 블록전단파단의 구조적 거동을 조사하기 위해 용접길이와 용접방법(아크, 티그)을 변수로 하여 단순인장 실험을 실시하였다. 용접접합부의 블록전단 거동은 용접에 의한 삼축응력효과 때문에 볼트접합부의 블록전단 거동과 상이하며, 현행설계기준식은 이러한 특성을 반영하지 못하고 있다. 티그용접 접합부의 변형능력과 최대내력이 아크용접 접합부보다 높게 나타났고, 현행기준식과 기존연구자에 의해 제시된 내력식에 의한 예측내력과 실험결과 최대내력을 비교 검토하였다.

A mortar-filled rectangular hollow structural section (RHS) can increase a structural section property as well as a compressive buckling capacity of a RHS member. In this study, the tensile performance of newly developed mortar-filled RHS members was experimentally evaluated with various connection details. The major test parameters were the type of end connections, the thickness of cap plates and shear plates, the use of stud bolts, and penetrating bars. The test results showed that the welded T-end connection experienced a brittle weld fracture at the welded connection, whereas the tensile performance of the T-end connection was improved by additional stud bolts inserted into the mortar within the RHS tube. For the end connection using shear plates and penetrating stud bolts, ductile behavior of the RHS tube was achieved after yielding. The penetrating bars increased load carrying capacity of the RHS. Based on the analysis of the load transfer mechanism, the current design code and test results were compared to evaluate the tensile capacity of the RHS tube according to the connection details. Design considerations for the connections of the mortar-filled RHS tubes were also recommended.

Among the various alternatives to make a steel tubular member connection, making a slotted and gusset plate welded connection is one of the most frequently preferred alternatives. This type of connection is essentially an end connection that is made by slotting the tube longitudinally, inserting the gusset plate and then placing longitudinal fillet welds at the tube-to-plate interface. In this paper an experimental study on the behaviour of such connections in stainless steel is presented. 24 specimens were tested under concentrically applied axial tensile forces for varying tube-to-gusset plate weld lengths. Both circular and box section members were considered in the test program. Load-deformation curves were obtained and comparisons were made in terms of strength and ductility. The results obtained from the study were then critically examined and compared with currently available design guidance for slotted gusset plate welded tubular end connections. It is noted that no specific rules exist in international specifications on structural stainless steel which cover the design of such connections. Therefore, the results of this study are compared with the existing design rules for carbon steel.

Generally, a box tube, which is used for an existing square CFT structure, is made by welding four plates. The manufacturing efficiency of this steel tube is poor, and it also needs special welding technology to weld its internal diaphragm and the through diaphragm. Therefore, an interior-anchor-type square steel tube was developed using the method of cold-forming thin plates to prevent welding of the stress concentration position, and to maximize the section efficiency. And, considering of the flow of beam flange load, the efficiency of erection and the weldability of the diaphragm to thin walled steel column, the external diaphragm connection was selected as the suitable type for the welded built-up square CFT column to beam connection. And, an analytical study and tests were conducted to evaluate the structural performance of the suggested connection details and to verify the suggested equations for the connection details. Through this study, the composite effect of the internal anchor to concrete, the resistance and stress distribution of the connections before and after the existing column is welded to the beam, the effective location of welding in connection were analyzed.

The H-shaped steel beam is popular due to its ease of manufacturing and connection to the column. This profile, which is used as a shallow beam, needs the high weak-axis bending stiffness and torsional stiffness to meet the overall stability. Achieving the local beam flange stability, bearing capacity, bending stiffness, and torsional requirements need a great thickness and width of the beam flange, which causes, which will cause more uneconomical structural design. So, the box-section beam is the ideal alternative. However, the current design specifications do not have design rules for the bolt-and-welded connection of the box-section beam and box-section column. The paper proposes a novel bolt-and-welded connection of the box-section beams and box-section columns based on a high-rise structural design scheme. Three connection models, BASE, WBF, and RBS, are analyzed under cyclic loading in ABAQUS software. The failure modes, hysteresis response, bearing capacity, ductility, plastic rotation angle, energy dissipation, and stiffness degradation of all models are determined and compared. Compared with the other two models, the model WBF exhibited excellent seismic performance, ductility, and plastic rotation ability. Finally, model WBF was chosen as the connection scheme used in the project design.

Many studies on the application of stainless steels as structural materials in buildings and infra-structures have been performed thanks to superior characteristics of corrosion resistance, fire resistance and aesthetic appeal. Experimental investigation to estimate the ultimate strength and fracture mode of the fillet-welded connections of cold-formed austenitic stainless steel (STS304L) with better intergranular corrosion resistance than that of austenitic stainless steel, STS304 commonly used has carried out by authors. Specimens were fabricated to fail by base metal fracture not weld metal fracture with main variables of weld lengths according to loading direction. All specimens showed a block shear fracture mode. In this paper, finite element analysis model was developed to predict the ultimate behaviors of welded connection and its validity was verified through the comparison with test results. Since the block shear behavior of welded connection due to stress triaxiality and shear-lag effects is different from that of bolted connection, stress and strain distributions in the critical path of tensile and shear fracture section were investigated. Test and analysis strengths were compared with those by current design specifications such as AISC, EC3 and existing researcher's proposed equations. In addition, through parametric analysis with extended variables, the conditions of end distance and longitudinal weld length for block shear fracture and tensile fracture were suggested.
