This paper presents a parametric study of reinforced concrete bridge tall piers with hollow, rectangular sections. Such piers are typically used in railway construction of prestressed concrete viaducts. Twenty one different piers have been studied with seven column heights of 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90 and 100 m and three types of 10-span continuous viaducts, whose main span lengths are 40, 50 and 60 m. The piers studied are intermediate columns placed in the middle of the viaducts. The total number of optimization design variables varies from 139 for piers with column height of 40 m to 307 for piers with column height of 100 m. Further, the results presented are of much value for the preliminary design of the piers of prestressed concrete viaducts of high speed railway lines.

This paper presents an application of Dividing Wall Column(DWC) to the recovery of the waste solvent from the film making processes. The waste solvent feed contains MEK(Methyl-Ethyl-Ketone), Toluene, Cyclohexanone, and water. The commercial software $HYSYS^{TM}$ was used for rigorous simulation and analysis. Sensitivity analysis for several major design variables were carried out to achieve the optimal design of the process. Distribution of the internal vapor and liquid flows to the prefractionator and main sections is shown to be the most dominant design factor for energy saving efficiency in the DWC process. The simulation results also show that the solvent recovery process using the DWC significantly improves both the energy efficiency and the compactness of the solvent recovery process.

In a reinforced concrete building different shapes of column are adopted depending on the structural orientation and the architectural aspect. When there is an increase in loading due to changes in usage or revision in the design codes these columns need to be strengthened for enhanced performance during their service life. Strengthening materials such as carbon fiber and glass fiber polymer has been successfully used however, due to high cost application other alternative materials need to be explore. Galvanized steel wire mesh (GSWM) is one of the suitable materials locally available. High tensile strength, low weight, corrosion resistance, easy installation, minimum change in dimensions of the sections and cost effectives are the advantages of GSWM. Therefore, in this paper, four different shapes of column such as circular, square, rectangular and L were wrapped with different layers GSWM and jacketed with mortar. All the specimens were tested under axial compression. The objective of the study is to investigate the effectiveness of GSWM as a confining material for strengthening of column having varying shape. Test results shows that the axial strength enhanced with wrapping of GSWM jacket and a circular column presented the highest load carrying capacity and ductility as compared to the others. From the study of 22 column specimens, it is found that axial load is increased upto 20% and 19% when circular and square column are strengthened with one wrap of GSWM respectively, while a rectangular and L column required a wraps of two and three layers respectively in order to achieved the same load capacity as that of a circular column. Based on the present study, it is concluded that GSWM can be effectively used for strengthening of different shapes of concrete columns economically.

본 연구의 목적은 강 - PC 복합모듈 골조를 구성하는 프레스 성형된 비대칭 기둥과 보 접합부의 구조적 성능을 평가하는 것이다. 모듈러 골조를 구성하는 대부분의 접합부는 폐쇄형의 사각형 강재 기둥 단면을 주로 사용한다. 폐쇄형의 기둥 단면을 사용한 기둥-보 접합부는 시공성을 감소시키고 내화성을 확보하는데 어려움이 있다. 이러한 단점을 극복하기 위하여 강판을 프레스로 성형하여 비대칭 개방형 단면 내에 콘크리트를 충진하는 것이다. 프레스 성형된 비대칭 기둥-보 접합부의 구조적 성능을 조사하기 위해 총 4개의 실험체를 제작하였다. 실험결과, 비대칭 기둥의 구조적 성능과 거동이 비대칭 기둥 단면이 합성되는지 또는 기둥의 폭-두께 비율에 따라 달라지는지를 보여주었다. 프레스 성형된 비대칭 기둥-보 접합부의 구조적 성능은 실험결과와 이론식을 비교하여 평가하였다.

본 연구는 콘크리트 구조설계기준을 만족시키면서 내재에너지와 이산화탄소 배출량을 최적화할 수 있는 철근 콘크리트 기둥에 대한 지속가능 설계법을 제시한다. 지속가능 설계법은 기존의 비용절감 중심의 강도설계법에서 벗어나 철근 콘크리트 구조물의 환경 및 에너지 소비에 대한 부하를 최소화할 수 있게 해준다. 철근 콘크리트 기둥의 파괴모드는 가해지는 축력과 휨의 비율에 따라 인장지배와 압축지배로 나누어지기 때문에 각각의 지배모드에 대한 최적화 해석을 수행하였다. 다양한 단면형상과 철근량에 대해 비용, 내재에너지, 이산화탄소 배출량을 최적화시킨 단면을 산출하고 그 특성을 비교 분석하였다. 최적화 해석결과에 대한 분석을 통해 비용을 약 10% 증가시킬 때 내재에너지는 약 25% 그리고 이산화탄소 배출량은 약 55%까지 감소시킬 수 있음을 보였다. 특히, 기둥이 인장지배 상태인 경우 압축지배 상태인 경우보다 내재에너지와 이산화탄소 배출량을 더 큰 폭으로 감소시킬 수 있음을 보였다. 결과적으로 지속가능 설계법은 비용의 최소화 외에도 강도설계법에서 고려하지 않았던 내재에너지나 이산화탄소 배출량을 감소 또는 최적화하는 설계를 가능케 하여 지속가능개발의 개념을 철근 콘크리트 구조물 설계에 도입할 수 있도록 해주는 것을 확인하였다.

This paper presents the results of a series of tests carried out on cold-formed steel rectangular hollow and concrete infilled beam to column connections and frames. A stub column was chosen such that overall buckling does not influence the connection behaviour. The beam chosen was a short-span cantilever with a concentrated load applied at the free end. The beam was connected to the columns along the strong and weak axes of columns and these connections were tested to failure. Twelve experiments were conducted on cold-formed steel direct welded tubular beam to column connections and twelve experiments on connections with concrete infilled column subjected to monotonic loading. In all the experiments conducted, the stiffness of the connection, the ductility characteristics and the moment rotation behaviour were studied. The dominant mode of failure in hollow section connections was chord face yielding and not weld failure. Provision of concrete infill increases the stiffness and the ultimate moment carrying capacity substantially, irrespective of the axis of loading of the column. Weld failure and bearing failure due to transverse compression occurred in connections with concrete infilled columns. Six single-bay two storied frames both with and without concrete infill, and columns loaded along the major and minor axes were tested to failure. Concentrated load was applied at the midspan of first floor beam. The change in behaviour of the frame due to provision of infill in the column and in the entire frame was compared with hollow frames. Failure of the weld at the junction of the beam occurred for frames with infilled columns. Design expressions are suggested for the yielding of the column face in hollow sections and bearing failure in infilled columns which closely predicted the experimental failure loads.

최근 도심지에 건설되는 건축물의 초고층화는 기둥에 작용하는 하중을 증가시켜 기둥단면 증가와 사용면적 확보의 어려움을 발생시키고 있다. 이에 최근에는 CFT와 같은 합성기둥의 사용이 증가하고 있는 추세이다. 그러나 CFT 기둥의 경우 폐단면으로 이루어져 있어 보-기둥 접합부 개발의 어려움과 성능저하의 문제가 발생하게 된다. 특히, 원형CFT 기둥과 외다이아프램을 이용한 접합상세 개발의 연구가 미비한 실정이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 Y형 플레이트를 적용한 원형 CFT 기둥-H형강 보 접합부 접합상세를 개발하여 Y형 플레이트를 적용한 접합부 구조성능에 영향을 미치는 Y형 플레이트 폭 및 두께를 주요변수로 설정하여 실험을 통해 구조성능을 평가하였다. 또한 실험체에 사용된 Y형 플레이트는 설계기준에 제시된 장기허용인장력이 Y형 플레이트에 접합된 인장 측 플랜지의 축방향력 이하가 되도록 설계하여 파괴형태를 통해 Y형 플레이트의 구조적 안전성과 성능을 확인하고자 한다.

In this study, a new design method of pile bent structure considering plastic hinge was proposed on the basis of the beam-column model. Based on the analysis results, it is found that the positioning of plastic hinge on the pile bent structure was influenced by nonlinear behavior of material and p-$\Delta$ effect. Moreover, concrete cracking began to occur at the joint section between the pile and column in case of pile bent structure with different cross-sections. The plastic hinge can be developed on the pile bent structure when large displacement was occurred, and pile bent structures can be maintained well only if it is developed on the column part. Therefore, in this study, the optimized cross-section ratio between column and pile was analyzed to induce the plastic hinge at the joint section between the pile and column. Based on this, the optimized diameter ratio of pile and column can be obtained below the inflection point of the bi-linear curve depending on the relations between column-pile diameter ratio($D_c/D_p$) and normalized lateral cracking load ratio($F/F_{Dc=Dp}$). And through this study, it is founded that in-depth limit($L_{As}$=0.4%) normalized by the pile length($L_P$) are proportionally decreased as the pile length($L_P/D_P$) increases up to $L_P/D_P$=17.5, and beyond that in-depth limit converges to a constant value. Finally, it is found that the proposed limit depth by taking into account the minimum concrete-steel ratio would be more economical design of the pile bent structure.

Many authors have established the usefulness of concrete filled steel tubular (CFST) sections as compression members while few have proved their utility as flexural members. To explore their prospective as part of CFST frame structures, two types of connections using extended end plate and seat angle are proposed for exterior joints of CFST beams and CFST columns. To investigate the performance and failure modes of the proposed bolted connections subjected to static loads, an experimental program has been executed involving ten specimens of exterior beam-to-column joints subjected to monotonically increasing load applied at the tip of beam, the performance is appraised in terms of load deformation behaviour of joints. The test parameters varied are the beam section type, type and diameter of bolts. To validate the experimental behaviour of the proposed connections in CFST beam-column joints, finite element analysis for the applied load has been performed using software ATENA-3D and the results of the proposed models are compared with experimental results. The experimental results obtained agree that the proposed CFST beam-column connections perform in a semi-rigid and partial strength mode as per specification of EC3.
