In response to the sustainability requirements set in the EU Commission's "Green Deal" towards reduction of the greenhouse gas emissions, it is estimated that the structural design for deconstruction is going to contribute considerably to the sustainable development of the built environment. The demountability of multi-material structural systems basically depends on the shear connectors used in the structural system. This paper focuses on a type of demountable injected shear connector with an injected steel-reinforced resin (iSRR) which consists of spherical steel particles embedded in a resin. Its application to steel-to-concrete and steel-to-Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) decks is presented along with its benefits. In parallel, an overview of the experimental and numerical research on the evaluation of the mechanical properties of the demountable bolted connectors with iSRR is discussed. Last, detailed finite element (FE) models and a parametric study are performed to quantify the confinement level of the SRR material influenced by the oversized hole diameter.

Cold forging is a method in which molding is performed at room temperature. It has a high material recovery rate and dimensional precision and produces excellent surface quality, and it is mainly used for the production of bolted or housing products. The lifespan of cold forging molds is generally determined by the wear of the mold, plastic deformation of the mold, and fatigue strength. Cold forging molds are frequently damaged due to fatigue destruction rather than wear and plastic deformation in a high-temperature environment as it is molded at room temperature without preheating the raw material and mold. Based on the results analyzed through FEM, an effective mold structure design method was proposed by analyzing the changes in tensile and compressive stresses on molds according to the number of molds and reinforcement rings and comparing the product geometry and mold stress using three existing mold models.

This paper presents a study on the behavior of a bolted T-stub to square tube connection using Thread-fixed One-side Bolts (TOBs) through tests and numerical simulations. It outlines a research work of four connections with focus on the failure modes and strengths of the connection under tensile load. It was observed that the thread anchor failure caused by shear failure of hole threads controlled the final failure of the connection in the tests. Meanwhile, the out-of-plane deformation of tube wall resulted in the contact separation between hole threads and bolt threads, which in turn reduced the shear strength of hole threads. Finite element models (FEMs) allowing for the configuration details of the TOBs fixed connection are then developed and compared with the test results. Subsequently, the failure mechanism of hole threads and stress distribution of each component are analyzed based on FEM results. It was concluded that the ultimate strength of connection was not only concerned with the shear strength of hole threads, but also was influenced by the plastic out-of-plane deformation of tube wall. These studies lay a foundation for the establishment of suitable design methods of this type of connection.

To increase the stiffness and strength of a reinforced concrete shear wall, steel plates are bolted to the sides of the wall. The general behavior of a composite concrete-steel shear wall is dependent on the buckling of the steel plates that should be prevented. In this paper, the unilateral buckling of steel plates of a composite shear wall is studied using the Rayleigh-Ritz method. To model the unilateral buckling of steel plate, the restraining concrete wall is described as an elastic foundation with high stiffness in compression and zero stiffness in tension. To consider the effect of bolt connections on the plate's buckling, a constrained optimization problem is solved by using Lagrange multipliers method. This process is used to obtain the critical elastic local buckling coefficients of unilaterally-restrained steel plates with various numbers of bolts, subjected to pure compression, bending and shear loading, and the interaction between them. Using these results, the spacing between shear bolts in composite steel plate shear walls is estimated and compared with the results of the AISC seismic provisions (2016). The results show that the AISC seismic provisions(2016) are overly conservative in obtaining the spacing between shear bolts.

This research experimentally evaluated the local stress distribution along the cross-section of composite beams under both positive and negative moments. The experiment utilized a large-scale, two-story, two-by-three bay steel gravity frame with a concrete on metal deck floor system. The composite shear connections, which are nominally assumed to be pinned under gravity loading, can develop non-negligible moment-resisting capacity when subjected to lateral loads. This paper discusses the local stress distribution, orshear lag effects, observed near the beam-to-column connections when subjected to combined gravity and lateral loading. Strain gauges were used for measurements along the beam depth at varying distances from the connection. The experimental data showed amplified shear lag effects near the unconnected region of the beam web and bottom flange under the applied loading conditions. These results indicate that strain does not vary linearly across the beam cross-section adjacent to the connection components. This insight has implications for the use of experimental strain gauge data in estimating beam demands near the connections. These findings can be beneficial in informing instrumentation plans for future experimental studies on composite beams.

이 연구에서는 FEM 해석을 통하여 파형강판 이음부의 강도 및 응력분포 특성에 관한 축방향 겹침길이 및 볼트간격의 영향 등을 검토하였다. 파형강판의 항복강도비($P/P_y$) 및 항복 후의 강도상승률은 축방향 겹침길이가 30mm일 때 가장 유리하게 되며, 현행의 제작기준에 의한 겹침길이는 매우 안전측의 값이 된다. 또한 파형강판 이음부의 강도특성은 볼트배치 방법에 따라 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 즉, 볼트가 지그재그로 배치되어있는 표준형의 경우에는 주로 원둘레방향의 연단거리만이 강도에 영향을 미치게 되며, 볼트가 일렬로 배치되어있는 대골형의 경우에는 원둘레방향 연단거리와 볼트중심간격 모두 강도특성에 영향을 미치게 된다. 이 연구에서는 이상의 해석결과로부터 구한 강도특성 및 응력분포특성을 기초로 하여 현행의 파형강판 이음부 제작기준에 대한 타당성을 검토하였다.

이 연구에서는 원형 개구부가 있는 전단지배 하이브리드 강재 연결보의 내진성능을 평가하기 위해 탑-시트 앵글이 있는 실험체 3개(SCB1, SCB2, SCB3)와 앵글이 없는 실험체 1개 (SCB4) 등 총 4개의 강재 연결보 시스템에 대한 반복가력 실험이 수행되었다. 실험변수는 웨브 개구부의 크기, 즉 전단강도비이다. SCB1, SCB2, SCB3, 그리고 SCB4 실험체의 전단강도비(웨브 개구부 크기)는 0.34(300mm), 0.49(268mm), 0.78(200mm), 그리고 0.34(300mm)이다. 실험결과, 제안된 연결보 시스템은 우수한 변형능력과 강성을 보여주었다. 실험연구를 통해 하이브리드 강재 연결보 시스템에 적용가능한 설계전단강도를 제안하였다. 연결보의 전단강도가 소성전단강도의 50% 이하일 때 핀칭이 완화되는 것으로 나타났으며, 이로 인해 내진 성능이 향상되는 것으로 나타났다. 핀칭을 최소화하고, 내진성능을 향상시키기 위해서는 연결보 구조설계 시 연결보의 전단강도를 50% 이상 저감시키는 방안도 고려될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

The linear and nonlinear seismic responses of steel buildings with perimeter moment resisting frames and welded connections (WC) are estimated and compared with those of buildings with post-tensioned connections (PC). Two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) structural representations of the buildings as well as global and local response parameters are considered. The seismic responses and structural damage of steel buildings with PC may be significantly smaller than those of the buildings with typical WC. The reasons for this are that the PC buildings dissipate more hysteretic energy and attract smaller inertia forces. The response reduction is larger for global than for local response parameters. The reduction may significantly vary from one structural representation to another. One of the main reasons for this is that the energy dissipation characteristics are quite different for the 2D and 3D models. In addition, in the case of the 3D models, the contribution of each horizontal component to the axial load on an specific column may be in phase each other during some intervals of time, but for some others they may be out of phase. It is not possible to observe this effect on the 2D structural formulation. The implication of this is that 3D structural representation should be used while estimating the effect of the PC on the structural response. Thus, steel frames with post-tensioned bolted connections are a viable option in high seismicity areas due to the fact that brittle failure is prevented and also because of their reduced response and self-centering capacity.

사용후핵연료를 저장하는 볼트체결 저장용기의 격납경계를 형성하는 주된 구성요소는 금속 밀봉재이다. 이러한 금속 밀봉재는 열과 방사선에 의해 그 성질이 저하된다. 또한, 금속 밀봉재가 강한 열에 장기간 노출되면 크리프 현상이 발생한다. 이러한 크리프는 밀봉시스템에 응력 이완을 가져와서, 결국 밀봉재의 건전성을 해치게 된다. 이러한 응력 이완은 금속 밀봉재의 밀봉성능 저하로 이어지며, 저하의 정도에 따라 저장용기의 누설을 야기할 수 있다. 또한, 볼트 체결력의 감소도 밀봉성능 저하에 영향을 미친다. 본 논문에서는 금속 밀봉재의 격납건전성과 볼트체결력 감소를 평가하기 위해 수행한 가속화 시험의 결과에 대하여 기술한다. 전 시험기간 동안 각 시편에서의 누설률, 볼트 변형률, 금속 밀봉재 주변 온도를 계측하여 분석하였고, 금속 밀봉재는 저장기간 50년 동안 격납건전성을 유지함을 입증하였다. 또한, 가속화 시험의 타당성에 대해서 기술하였다.
