The present paper summarizes the experimental research carried out at the "Politehnica" University of Timisoara, Romania, with the scope of investigating the influence of different column web stiffening solutions on the performance of beam-to-column joints of Moment Resisting Steel Frames. The response parameters, such as resistance, rigidity and ductility were examined. Five different types of panel web stiffening were compared with regard to a reference test. A quasi-linear relationship between the moment capacity and the total shear area of the web panel was observed from the experimental tests while the initial rigidity increased non-proportionally with the same area. Comparisons are presented of the experimental tests with the mathematical model developed by Krawinkler and with the model stipulated in Eurocode 3 Part 1.8. These comparisons showed a generally good agreement in the case of moment capacity, while the computed rigidities were always greater than the experimental rigidities.

Cruciform sections are an appropriate option for columns of orthogonal moment resisting frames for equal bending strength and stiffness about two main axes and the implementation is easier for continuity plates. These columns consist of two I-shaped sections, so that one of them is cut out in middle and two generated T-shaped sections be welded into I-shaped profile. Furthermore, in steel moment frames, unbalance moment at the beam-column connection leads to shear deformation in panel zone. Most of the obtained relations for panel zone strength derived from experimental and analytical results are on I-shaped columns with almost thin flanges. In this paper, a parametric study has been carried out using Finite Element Method (FEM) with effective parameters at the panel zone behavior. These parameters consist of column flange thickness, column web thickness, and thickness of continuity plates. Additionally, a mathematical model has been suggested to determine strength of cruciform column panel zone and has been shown its accuracy and efficiency.

Implementation of openings in beams web has been introduced as an innovative method for improving seismic performance of steel moment frames. In this paper, several steel moment frames have been studied in order to evaluate the effect of openings in beams web. The beam sections with web opening have been modeled as a simplified super-element to be used in designing frames and to determine opening configurations. Finite element models of designed frames were generated and nonlinear static pushover analysis was conducted. The efficient location for openings along the beam length was discovered and the effects of beams with web openings on local and global behavioral characteristics of frames were discussed. Base on the results, seismic performance of steel moment frames was improved by creating openings in beams web, in terms of reduction in stress level of frame sensitive areas such as beam to column connections and panel zones.

접합부 패널존의 거동에 영향을 줄 수 있는 변수를 고려하여 SRC 기둥-H형강보 접합부의 역학적 특성에 대해 실험적 연구를 하였다. 7개의 시험체를 제작하여 실험을 수행하였으며 실험으로부터 접합부의 전단강도와 이력거동을 조사하였고 파괴형태에 대하여 분석하였다. 접합부의 이력거동은 약간의 핀칭을 보이는 안정된 거동을 보였다. 이력거동은 최대하중에 도달한 후 변위를 증가할 때 내력이 감소하는 거동을 보였다. 접합부 패널존의 전단강도는 접합부내의 콘크리트 유효면적이 증가함에 따라 증가함을 보였다. 접합부 패널존의 전단강조는 철골기둥 웨브의 항복강도, 패널존내의 철골기둥 플랜지의 소성휨강도 그리고 유효콘크리트의 전단강도의 합으로 표현되며 실험결과는 이러한 접합부의 전단강도와 근사한 값을 보였다.

최근 시공의 합리화와 경제성의 목적으로 한 다양한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 철근 콘크리트 기둥과 철골 보로 이루어진 RCS 구조의 개발에 대한 연구 역시 활발해지고 있다. RCS 구조 보-기둥 접합부 패널존의 저항기구는 내부패널에서 외부패널로 응력이 전달될 때 직교보의 영향을 받지만, 기존연구에는 직교보의 영향을 고려하지 않고 있다. 본 연구에서는 웨브, 플랜지, 직교보의 두께, FBP의 유뮤등 다양한 변수들을 가지는 5개의 철근콘크리트 기둥과 철골보로 이루어진 보-기둥 내부접합부 실험체의 실험을 통해 직교보들의 영향과 구조적 성능을 조사하고자 한다. 이러한 실험결과들로부터, 보-기둥 접합부의 직교보가 전단내력과 구조성능을 향상시키는데 효과적이라는 것을 알 수 있다.

This paper summarizes the results of full-scale cyclic seismic testing on four RBS (reduced beam section) steel moment connections. Key test variables were web bolting vs. welding and strong vs. medium PZ (panel zone) strength. The specimen with medium PZ strength was specially designed to mobilize energy dissipation from both the PZ and RBS region in a balanced way; the aim was to reduce the requirement of expensive doubler plates. Both strong and medium PZ specimens with web-welding were able to provide sufficient connection rotation capacity required of special moment frames, whereas specimens with web-bolting showed inferior performance due to the premature brittle fracture of the beam flange across the weld access hole. In contrast to the case of web-welded specimens, the web-bolted specimens could not transfer the actual plastic moment of the original (or unreduced) beam section to the column. If a quality welding for the beam-to-column joint is made as in this study, the fracture-prone area tends to move into the beam flange base metal within the weld access hole. Analytical study was also conducted to understand the observed base metal fracture from the engineering mechanics point of view.

Recent trends in the construction of building frame feature the use of composite steel concrete members. One of such system, RCS(Reinforced Concrete column and Steel beam) system, is known as a type of system to maximize the structural and economic benefits in the most efficient manner. This paper is focusing on an study of ultimate shear strength estimation of the interior beam-column joints of RCS system, with reinforced concrete column and steel beam. Current design methods as well as the majority of the previous researches for ultimate shear strength of the interior beam-column joint of RCS system are not easy to apply actual manner. There is a need to propose the rational macro models based on analytical approach. In this study, design method variables for interior beam-column joints of RCS system is studied assuming shear resistance of steel web panel, diagonal concrete strut mechanism and truss mechanism. Finally, calculated results based on the proposed design model are compared with test data.

The purpose of this study is to develop composite structural system which is to have versatility in plan design and to improve economical efficieney, to maximise structural capacity than existing structural system. In this viewpoint, it was investigated to the properties of structural behaviors for i oint consisting of concrete filled steel square tube column and P.C reinforced concrete beam through a series of hysteretic behavior experiment. In the previous report, researched to the properties of joints with key parameters. such as Axial Force ratio and section types. From the based on previous results, this study investigated the properties of this joints with key parameters, such as strength of concrete, size of panel zone and Axial Force ratio. The obtained results are summarised as follows. (1) Investigating for the failure mode of the beam-to-column joint, the specimens of S,LL and LH series(except for L5H) presented flexural failure mode. (2) The initial stiffness of joint was increasd as the decrease of axial force ratio and increase of the concrete strength. (3) The rotation resisting capacity was effective as the increment of the concrete strength and decrement of the axial force ratio. (4) The emprical formula to predict the ultimate capacity of joint model to introduce decrease coefficient according to the axial force ratio to superimpose shearing strength of steel web(H section) and bending strength of reinforced concrete beam was expected.

This paper experimentally studies the cyclic behavior of hybrid connections between steel coupling beams and concrete shear walls with embedded steel columns. Four beam-to-wall connection specimens with short and long embedded steel columns are tested under monotonic and cyclic loads, respectively. The influence of embedment length of columns on the failure mode and performance of connections is investigated. The results show that the length of embedded steel columns has significant effect on the failure mode of connections. A connection with a long embedded column has a better stiffness, load-bearing capacity and ductility than that of a short embedded column. The former fails due to the shear yielding of column web in the joint panel, while failure of the latter is initiated by the yielding of horizontal reinforcement in the wall due to the rigid rotation of the column. It is recommended that embedded steel columns should be placed along the entire height of shear walls to facilitate construction and enhance the ductility.

본 연구는 철근콘크리트 기둥과 철골보로 이루어진 내부 접합부의 전단강도에 관한 연구이다. 일반적으로 RCS 접합부의 공칭전단강도는 철골웨브와 콘크리트의 전단저항 합으로 산정하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 기존에 RCS 접합부의 콘크리트 전단강도 계산에 사용되었던 압축장 이론의 단점을 분석하여 보다 합리적인 압축스트러트 모델을 제안하였다. 제안된 모델의 적합성을 기존 연구자에 의해 수행된 실험결과와의 비교평가를 통하여 실시해 본 결과, 실험결과와 계산값이 잘 일치하는 것으로 나타났다.
