Most of the portal frames are designed these days by the application of plastic analysis, with the normal assumption being made that the column bases are pinned. However, the couple produced by the compression action of the inner column flange and the tension in the holding down bolts will inevitably generate some moment resistance and rotational stiffness. Full-scale portal frame tests conducted during a previous research program had suggested that this moment can be as much as 20% of the moment of resistance of the column. The size of this moment of resistance is particularly important for the design of the tensile capacity of the holding down bolts and also the bearing resistance of the foundation. The present research program is aiming at defining this moment of resistance in simple design terms so that it could be included in the design of the frame. The investigation also included the study of the semi-rigid behaviour of the column base/foundation, which, to a certain extent, affects the overall loading capacity and stiffness of the portal frames. A series of column bases with various details were tested and were used to calibrate a finite element model which is able to simulate the action of the holding down bolts, the effect of the concrete foundation and the deformation of the base plate.

Granular columns have recently found widespread use in underground construction. The behaviour of granular columns under vertical loads has been extensively studied, specifically in relation to vertical load capacity obtained by bulging of the column body, including the behaviour after encasement of material. Determining the shear strength of loose soils reinforced with granular columns has received less attention. After the observations of lateral deformation near the toe of the embankment, attempts have been made to strengthen the lateral strength of granular columns. The purpose of this research is to look into the effects of different encasement conditions on the lateral load capacity of granular columns. This was accomplished by three-dimensional finite element analysis with FEM software. Various normal pressures and two different encasement configurations, namely single layer encasement and double layer encasement, with differing tensile strengths, were used in this study to determine their effect on lateral resistance. The failure envelope for a single column planted in loose sand was used to analyse the findings for three different granular column diameters, as well as the impact of different encasement conditions. According to the findings, the inclusion of a Granular Column enhanced the shear strength and overall stiffness of the loose sand bed, and the encasement of the Granular Column helped in deriving higher lateral resistance.

Several types of column-beam connections are used in the design of steel structures. This situation causes different cross-section effects and, therefore, different displacements and deformations. In other words, connection elements such as welds, bolts, continuity plates, end plates, and stiffness plates used in steel column-beam connections directly affect the section effects. This matter reveals the necessity of knowing the steel column-beam connection behaviours. In this article, behaviours of bolted column-beam connection with end plate widely used in steel structures are investigated comparatively the effects of the stiffness plates added to the beam body, the change in the end plate thickness and bolt diameter. The results obtained reveal that the moment and force carrying capacity of the said connection increases with the increase in the end plate thickness and bolt diameter. In contrast, it causes the other elements to deform and lose their capacity. This matter shows that optimum dimensions are very important in steel column-beam connections. In addition, it has been seen that adding a stiffness plate to the beam body part positively contributes to the connection's moment-carrying capacity.

본 연구는 철근콘크리트 기둥 횡보강근의 형태 특히 크로스타이의 유무 및 단부 정착형태에 따른 내진성능을 평가하기 위한 실험연구이다. 계획된 실험변수인 크로스타이의 유무, 크로스타이의 단부 정착형태(헤드형 또는 갈고리형), 그리고 기둥 축응력의 크기에 따라 총 5개의 기둥 실험체를 제작한 뒤 일정 축력하에 횡방향 반복가력 실험을 수행한 후, 크로스타이가 철근콘크리트 기둥의 구조성능에 미치는 영향을 평가하였다. 실험으로부터, 크로스타이가 없이 띠철근만으로 횡보강된 기둥은, 낮은 횡력에서 균열과 함께 띠철근이 휨변형한 뒤 코아 콘크리트가 탈락되는 파괴양상을 보인 반면에 크로스타이가 있는 기둥은 균열이 발생한 이후에도 띠철근이 휨변형과 주근좌굴을 억제하고 코아 콘크리트를 효과적으로 구속하여 내력 및 연성을 증진시키는 것으로 나타났다. 횡방향 대변형시, 갈고리형 크로스타이는 $90^{\circ}$ 갈고리 부분이 펴지면서 코아 콘크리트가 탈락되는 양상을 보이지만 헤드형 크로스타이는 대변형 시에도 헤드가 매우 효과적으로 띠철근과 주근을 구속하여 높은 내력과 연성능력을 발휘하는 것으로 나타났다.

In order to construct a multiscale model for the compressive strength of plain concrete columns with circular cross section subjected to central longitudinal compressive load, a column failure mechanism is proposed based on the theory of internal instability. Based on an energy analysis, the multiscale model is developed to describe the failure process and predict the column's compressive strength. Comparisons of the predicted results with experimental data show that the proposed multiscale model can accurately represent both the compressive strength of the concrete columns with circular cross section, and the effect of column size on its strength.

A computationally efficient algorithm to analyze a group pile behavior is proposed by consideration of both soil-pile and pile-cap interactions. Using toad transfer method the nonlinear characteristics of the soil-pile interaction for a single pile is modeled by piecewise linear soil springs (p-y, t-z, and q-z curves). Beam-column method, one of the most practical approaches, is used for numerical modeling of the soil-pile system. In addition to the group effect resulting from the soil-pile-soil interaction, for a more realistic analysis it is essential to consider the effect of pile-cap interaction including geometric configuration of the piles in a group and conectivity conditions between piles and the cap. This paper mainly focuses on the pile-cap interaction and the development of a rational numerical procedure of its incorporation with the beam-column method.

Numerous studies showed that safety and serviceability of many concrete infrastructures and buildings built in 1970's have capacity less than their design capacities and thereby require immediate retrofitting. Currently, these aged concrete structure are being repaired using many repair and strengthening methods developed in the past. Therefore, in this study, a repairing and strengthening method for retrofitting high strength concrete columns that can effectively improve the performance of high strength concrete columns is developed. The square high strength concrete column's cross-sectional shape is modified to octagonal shape by attaching precast members on the surface of the column. Then, the octagonal column surface is wrapped using Carbon Fiber Sheets (CFS). The method allowed the maximum usage of confinement effect of externally wrapped CFS, which resulted in improved strength and ductility of repaired high strength concrete columns.

This paper reports an experimental investigation of the behaviour of concrete-encased composite columns subjected to short-term axial load and biaxial bending. In the study, six square and four L-shaped cross section of both short and slender composite column specimens were constructed and tested to examine the load-deflection behaviour and to obtain load carrying capacities. The main variables in the tests were considered as eccentricity of applied axial load, concrete compressive strength, cross section, and slenderness effect. A theoretical procedure considering the nonlinear behaviour of the materials is proposed for determination of the behaviour of eccentrically loaded short and slender composite columns. Two approaches are taken into account to describe the flexural rigidity (EI) used in the analysis of slender composite columns. Observed failure mode and experimental and theoretical load-deflection behaviour of the specimens are presented in the paper. The composite column specimens and also some composite columns available in the literature have been analysed and found to be in good agreement with the test results.
