This paper presents an experimental and numerical study to investigate the behavior of the precast segmental concrete beams (PSCBs) utilizing high-strength concrete (HSC) connected in the zone of the maximum bending moment using steel extended endplate connections (EECs). The experimental study consisted of five beams as follows: The first beam was the control beam for comparison, which was an unconnected one-piece beam made of HSC. The other four other beams consisted of two identical pieces of precast concrete. An important point to be noted is that at the end of each piece, a steel plate was used with a thickness of 10 mm. Moreover, this steel plate was welded to the lower and upper reinforcing bars of the beam. Furthermore, the steel plate was made to connect the two pieces using the technique of EECs. Several variables were taken in these four beams, whether from the shape of the connection or enhancing the behavior of the connection using the post-tensioning technique. EECs without stiffeners were used for some of the tested beams. The behavior of these connections was improved using stiffeners and shear bolts. To get accurate results, a comparison was made between the behaviors of the five beams. Another important point to be noted is that Abaqus and SAP2000 programs were used to investigate the behavior of PSCBs and to ensure the accuracy of the modeling process which showed a good agreement with the experimental results. Additionally, the simplified modeling using SAP2000 was able to model the nonlinear behavior of PSCBs connected using steel EECs. It was found that the steel pre-tensioned bolted EECs, reinforced with steel stiffeners and shear anchors, could be used to connect the precast HSC segmental beams via the internal pre-stressing technique.

집성재 다우얼 접합부가 적용되는 기둥의 기초, 기둥-보 접합부에는 회전이 발생하므로 접합부의 모멘트 성능에 대한 연구가 필요하다. 접합부의 회전에 의해서 섬유방향과 각을 이루어 작용하는 하중을 섬유방향에 평행한 하중과 수직한 하중으로 단순화 하여 거동을 해석하고 예측하였다. 드리프트 핀의 휨강도 및 지압응력을 평가하였으며, 섬유방향에 평행한 인장하중과 수직한 인장하중을 받는 접합부의 끝면 거리를 다르게 하여 접합부의 인장형 전단성능을 시험하였고 회전이 작용하는 접합부는 드리프트 핀의 개수와 배열 방향을 다르게 하여 시험하였다. 접합부에 인장하중이 작용할 때 항복 이후의 변형량은 드리프트 핀의 소성변형에 의해서 발생하며, 집성재의 끝면 거리 확보에 의한 드리프트 핀의 변형 흡수가 접합부 전체의 변형량에 영향을 주는 것으로 판단된다. 2개의 드리프트 핀이 섬유방향에 평행하게 배열된 경우(b2h)에는 섬유방향에 수직한 인장하중 거동을 나타내고, 2개의 드리프트 핀이 섬유방향에 수직하게 배열된 경우(b2v)에는 섬유방향에 평행한 인장하중 거동을 나타내는 것으로 평가된다. 4개의 드리프트 핀이 정사각 배열된 접합부의 경우(b4)에 2개의 드리프트 핀이 섬유방향에 평행하게 배열된 접합부(b2h)의 약 1.7배의 하중 성능을 나타냈으며, 접합부에 회전이 작용하여 섬유방향과 각을 이루는 하중을 섬유방향에 대한 평행 또는 수직한 하중으로 치환하여 거동을 평가, 예측하는 것이 가능하다고 판단된다.

현재 가장 많이 사용되는 기존 약축접합부는 브라켓 타입으로 기둥과 보를 접합하는 과정에서 수평 스티프너가 필요하며, 기둥과 브라켓의 용접접합으로 인해 용접량이 비교적 많아 접합부에서 취성파괴가 우려된다. 본 논문은 용접플레이트를 사용함으로써 기존 약축접합부가 가지는 문제점에 대한 해결책을 제시할 수 있는 신형상 약축접합부를 제작해 기존 약축접합부 및 표준 약축접합부와 비교하여 구조성능을 평가하였다. 신형상 약축접합부는 H형강 기둥웨브에서 보 단부사이의 거리를 50mm, 100mm, 150mm, 200mm로 하였다. 실험결과 신형상 약축접합부는 H형강 기둥웨브와 보 단부사이의 거리가 150mm일 때 기준 실험값과 가장 비슷한 것으로 나타났으며, 기존 약축접합부와 표준 약축접합부와 비교해 우수한 구조성능을 가지는 것으로 나타났다.

Multi-storey precast concrete skeletal structures are assembled from individual prefabricated components which are erected on-site using various types of connections. In the current design of these structures, beam-to-column connections are assumed to be pin jointed. Welded plate beam to-column connections have been used in the precast concrete industry for many years. They have many advantages over other jointing methods in component production, quality control, transportation and assembly. However, there is at present limited information concerning their detailed structural behaviour under bending and shear loadings. The experimental work has involved the determination of moment-rotation relationships for semi-rigid precast concrete connections in full scale connection tests. The study reported in this paper was undertaken to clarify the behaviour of such connections under symmetrical vertical loadings. A series of full-scale tests was performed on sample column for which the column geometry and weld arrangements conformed with successful commercial practice. Proprietary hollow core slabs were tied to the beams by tensile reinforcing bars, which also provide the in-plane continuity across the connections. The strength of the connections in the double sided tests was at least 0.84 times the predicted moment of resistance of the composite beam and slab. The secant stiffness of the connections ranged from 0.7 to 3.9 times the flexural stiffness of the attached beam. When the connections were tested without the floor slabs and tie steel, the reduced strength and stiffness were approximately a third and half respectively. This remarkable contribution of the floor strength and stiffness to the flexural capacity of the joint is currently neglected in the design process for precast concrete frames. In general, the double sided connections were found to be more suited to a semi-rigid design approach than the single sided ones. The behaviour of double sided welded plate connection test results are presented in this paper. The behaviour of single sided welded plate connection test results is the subject of another paper.

CFT 구조는 각형이나 원형강관에 콘크리트가 충전된 구조로서, 강관은 콘크리트를 구속하고 콘크리트는 강관의 좌굴을 방지함으로써 부재의 강성 및 강도를 증가시킬 수 있다. 이에 본 연구는 관통 다이아프램 충전개구부 형상이 각형CFT 기둥-보 접합부의 내력에 미치는 영향을 실험을 통해 확인한 후, 유한요소해석을 수행하여 실험 결과와 비교 검증했다. 이로써 각형CFT 기둥-보 접합부의 내력은 관통 다이아프램의 개구부 면적이 같을 경우 그 형상에 크게 영향을 받지 않으며, 관통 다이아프램과 보 플랜지의 접합부분 형상 및 치수가 동일하면, 보에 발생한 휨응력이 다이아프램을 통해 기둥으로 전달되고 있음을 확인하였다.

The effects of strain amplitude. test temperature and stress on the fatigue properties for Ti-Ni wires were investigated using a rotary bending fatigue tester specially designed for wires. The fatigue test results were discussed in connection with the static tensile properties. The DSC measurement was conducted after fatigue test in order to clarify the change of transformation behavior due to the progress of fatigue. Under the temperature below or near the Af, the strain amplitude($\varepsilon_a$)-failure life (Nf) curve showed to be composed of three straight lines with two turning points. Of the 2 turning points, the upper one was coincident with the elastic limit strain and the lower one with the proportional limit strain. With rising of the test temperature above Af, the pattern of $\varepsilon_a$-Nf curve changed gradually to composition of 2 straight lines. The $\varepsilon_a$-Nf curve shifted depending on test temperature. In the short and medium life zones, the higher the temperature was, the shorter the fatigue life. However, in the long life zone, above the Af temperature, the fatigue life was not affected by the temperature. The transformation enthalpy measured after fatigue test was dependent on Nf, $\varepsilon_a$, and test temperature.

Due to the high usage of ABS in industries, such as aerospace, auto, recreational devices, boat, submarines, etc., the purpose of this project was to find a way to weld this material, which gives advantages, such as affordable, high speed, and good connection quality. In this experimental project, the friction welding method was applied with parameters such as numerical control (NC) machine with two different speeds and three cross-sections, including a flat surface, cone, and step. After the end of the welding process, samples were then applied for both tensile and bending tests of materials, and the results showed that, with increasing the machining velocity Considering of samples, the friction of the surface increased and then caused to increase in the surface temperature. Considering mentioned contents, the melting temperature of composite materials increased. This can give a chance to have a better combination of Nanomaterial to base melted materials. Thus, the result showed that, with increasing the weight percentage (wt %) of Nanomaterials contents, and machining velocity, the mechanical behavior of welded area for all three types of samples were just increased. This enhancement is due to the better melting process on the welded area of different Nano contents; also, the results showed that the shape of the welding area could play a significant role, and by changing the shape, the results also changed drastically.A better shape for the welding process was dedicated to the step surface.

An experimental investigation to study the behaviour of connections between cold-formed steel (CFS) joist and plywood structural panel is presented in this paper. Material testing on CFS and plywood was carried out to assess their mechanical properties and behaviour. Push-out tests were conducted to determine the slip modulus and failure modes of three different shear connection types. The employed shear connectors in the study were; size 14 (6mm diameter) self-drilling screw, M12 coach screw, and M12 nut and bolt. The effective bending stiffness of composite cold-formed steel and plywood T-beam assembly is calculated based on the slip modulus values computed from push-out tests. The effective bending stiffness was increased by 25.5%, 18% and 30.2% for self-drilling screw, coach screw, nut and bolt, respectively, over the stiffness of cold-formed steel joist alone. This finding suggests the potential to enhance the structural performance of composite cold-formed steel and timber flooring system by mobilisation of composite action present between timber sheathing and CFS joist.

Inclined piles are commonly used in civil engineering constructions where significant lateral resistance is required. Many researchers proved their positive performance on the seismic behavior of the supported structure and the piles themselves. However, most of these numerical studies were done within the framework of linear elastic or elastoplastic soil behavior, neglecting therefore the soil non-linearity at low and moderate soil strains which is questionable and could be misleading in dynamic analysis. The main objective of this study is to examine the influence of the pile inclination on the seismic performance of the soil-pile-structure system when both the linear elastic and the nonlinear soil models are employed. Based on the comparative responses, the adequacy of the soil's linear elastic behavior will be therefore evaluated. The analysis is conducted by generating a three-dimensional finite difference model, where a full interaction between the soil, structure, and inclined piles is considered. The numerical survey proved that the pile inclination can have a significant impact on the internal forces generated by seismic activity, specifically on the bending moment and shear forces. The main disadvantages of using inclined piles in this system are the bending forces at the head and pile-to-head connection. It is crucial to account for soil nonlinearity to accurately assess the seismic response of the soil-pile-structure system.
