The objective of this study is to examine fatigue strength of the welded details. In order to attain the goal of this study, the bending fatigue tests was performed for four kinds of welded details used in steel bridges, such as in-plane gusset, out-of-plane gusset, cruciform, and cover plate. The effect of the length of welded attachment on fatigue strength was greater in out-of-plane gusset than in in-plane gusset. The fatigue strength of welded details with short attachment was superior to that with long attachment. Fatigue strength of welded details with transversely loaded welds was lower than that with longitudinally loaded welds, and those results were not satisfied with AASHTO specifications. For the fatigue strength of cover plate, cover plate with rectangular section was superior to that with tapered section. It was found that the fatigue crack initiates at the points of stress concentration which are the boundary between the base metal and the bead of weld in the part of the longitudinal edge of attachment, and propagates first along the boundary and along the perpendicular to the direction of the principle stress in the base metal of welded tip.

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.

Authors had developed the model for the fatigue life assessment of welded details considering residual stress and its relaxation. The model consists of three ingredients; a hot-spot stress approach, a residual stress relaxation, and an equivalent stress. The equivalent stress is induced by stress ranges and the ratios between the applied mean stresses and the ultimate stress of material. Once being tuned with two specific fatigue tests by using load carrying cruciform joint, this model can be applied to many kinds of welded details which structural stress concentration factors are different from each other. This paper reports the application of the proposed model for various welded details including cover plate, longitudinal stiffener, gusset and side attachment. From the investigation of predicted results by using the proposed model it was shown that the ambiguous fatigue characteristics of the various details influenced widely by the welding residual stress are clarified, and also the model could be applied to assess fatigue life of general welded structures.

이 연구에서는 국내 피로설계규정상의 응력범주 C, D, E 및 E'에 해당하는 표준적인 구조인 십자 연결형, 면외거셋 부착형, 면내거셋 부착형 및 덮개판형을 모형화한 소형 시험편에 대한 피로실험을 실시하여 실험결과에 따라 각 시험편에 해당하는 국내 피로설계규정을 검증하며, 실험결과와 외국의 공개 데이터와의 비교 검토를 통해 국내 제작 강구조상세의 평가기준을 검토하였다. 실험 결과, AASHTO 및 JSSC, Eurocode의 관련 규정 값을 대부분 만족하는 것으로 확인되었다. 그러나, 십자연결형 접착부에 있어 모재가 파단된 하중전달형의 경우는 하중비전달형 보다 피로강도가 작으며, AASHTO 설계기준을 만족시키지 못하므로 설계기준에 대한 재검토가 필요할 것으로 판단된다. 한편, 요접부 길이의 영향은 면외거셋 에서 부착부 길이 80mm 시험편보다 150mm 시험편의 피로강도가 낮게 나타나 용접구조부 길이의 영향이 있음을 확인하였다. 실험결과들을 종합해보면, AASHTO 규정에 입각한 국내 시방서상의 피로규정을 대부분 만족하고 있으나, 보다 세분된 범주로 규정하고 있는 JSSC 및 Eurocode의 설계기준이 본 연구의 실험결과와 비교할 때 보다 합리적인 것으로 생각된다.

In this paper, different evaluation methods of Hot Spot Stresses (HSS) have been applied to four different welded structure details in order to compare them and to illustrate their differences. The HSSs at failure-critical locations were calculated by means of a series of finite element analyses. There was good overall agreement between calculated and experimentally determined HSS on the critical locations. While different methods and procedures exist for the computation of the structural hot-spot stress at welded joints, the recommendations within the International Institute of Welding (IIW) guideline concerning the 'Hot Spot Stress' approach were found to give good reference stress approximations for fatigue-loaded welded joints. This paper recommends and suggests an appropriate finite element modeling and hot spot stress evaluation technique based on round-robin stress analyses and experimental results of several welded structure details.

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.

We investigated the effect of weld details on fatigue behavior of a material, JIS SM 490 A, with yielding strength of about 350 MPa and tensile strength of about 520 MPa. Tensile tests, instrumented indentation tests and fatigue tests were carried out on double V-grooved butt weld plates such as reinforcement removed, as-welded and weld toe ground. In addition plates with transverse fillet welded web, load carrying cruciform fillet welded plates, non-load-carrying cruciform fillet welded plates and longitudinal butt welded plates were tested. S-N curves for the above specimens were obtained and analyzed

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.

본 논문은 강교량에서 큰 응력범위가 발생하는 위치에 불가피하게 존재하는 가장 일반적인 피로 취약 상세인 면내 거셋 용접부에 대한 3단계에 걸친 피로 시험 결과를 분석 평가 하였다. 플랜지 및 부착물의 두께, 부착물의 길이와 적용강재를 변화시킨 총 57개의 피로 시험편이 제작되어 인장피로시험이 수행되었으며, 1단계 시험에서는 실물크기 및 시험체에 대한 피로 실험도 수행되었다. 실험 결과로부터 현 설계기준에 제시된 대상상세에 대한 피로강도 기준의 적정성을 평가하고, 플랜지와 용접 연결된 부착물의 두께, 길이 등의 기하학적 형상 및 적용강재의 강도가 피로강도에 미치는 영향과 균열의 발생 및 진전 거동 특성을 규명하였다. 외국의 피로실험 자료와 비교 분석한 결과 강재가 서로 달라도 유사한 피로강도를 갖는 것으로 나타났으며, 이는 강종 보다는 기하학적 형상 및 용접관련사항이 피로강도에 미치는 영향이 크다는 것을 나타내며, 형상에 따라 응력집중계수의 차이가 매우 커서 거셋 부착부의 변화부 반경, 길이 및 플랜지의 폭에 따라 상세분류를 좀더 세분화 할 필요가 있는 것으로 나타났다.
