An experimental research program on end-plate beam-to-column composite joints under cyclic loading is presented. The major focus relates to the identification of the contribution of the concrete confinement in composite columns to the behaviour of the joint, on internal nodes and external nodes, together with an assessment of degradation of strength and stiffness in successive loading cycles. From the experimental results it was possible to identify the various failure modes and to fit the corresponding hysteretic curves to the Richard-Abbott and Mazzolani models. These curve-fitting exercises highlighted the need to adapt both models, either for improved ease of application, or to deal with some aspects previously not covered by those models.

This paper analyses the response of rigid and semi-rigid steel-concrete composite joints under monotonic loading. The influence of some important parameters, such as the presence of column web stiffening and the mechanical properties of component materials, is investigated by using a three-dimensional finite element modelling based on the Abaqus code. Numerical and experimental responses of different types of composite joints are also compared with the analytical results obtained using the component approach proposed by Eurocode 4. The results obtained with this approach generally fit well with the numerical and experimental values in terms of strength. Conversely, some significant limits arise when evaluating initial stiffness and non-linear behaviour of the composite joint.

The composite framed structures, consisting of RC columns and steel beams more popular in korea because of their efficiency and quality. However the force transfer mechanisms between the column and beam may by very complicated since the materials of columns and beams are different. This study develops "the column penetration joint" which the web of steel beam doesn't penetrate and which could improve the strength, deformation, and energy dissipation capacities compared to existing composite joints. It is the concrete-filled square tube joint with the exterior diaphragms and the cruciform stiffening plates. This study evaluated the strength of RC column penetration to steel beam connection by analyzing the results of partial experiments, and reviewed the applicability the strength formula through the comparison of tested results of joint experiment.

This paper reports the experimental results of three through bolt beam-column connections under pure shear forces using modified push-out tests. The investigated specimens include extended end-plates and six through-bolts connecting square concrete-filled steel tubular column (S-CFST) to steel beams. The main goal of this study is to investigate if and how the mechanical shear connectors, such as steel angles and stud bolts, contribute to the shear transfer mechanisms in the steel-concrete interface of the composite column. The contribution of shear studs and steel angles to improve the shear resistance of steel-concrete interface in through-bolt connections was investigated using tests. The results showed that their contribution is not significant when the beam-column connection is included in the push-out tests. The specimens failed by pure shear of the long bolts, and the ultimate load can be predicted using the shear resistance of the bolts under shear forces. The predicted values of load allowed obtaining a good agreement with the tests results.

The analysis method proposed by PCA is widely used in calculating the column shortening of reinforced and composite columns of a tall building. However, residual creep factor which relates creep strain of reinforced concrete to creep strain of plain concrete is based on Rate of Creep Method (RCM) which has theoretical defects and is considered obsolete. In this paper, a new equation for the residual creep factor based on Age-adjusted Effective Modulus Method (AEMM) which is considered exact and better than RCM is proposed. The residual creep factor by RCM is found to be higher than one by AEMM, which means current PCA method overestimates the shortening of a reinforced concrete column. By using the residual creep factor by AEMM, more exact column shortening of a tall building can be obtainable with a simple modification to PCA method.

Composite column design is strongly influenced by the computation of the critical buckling load, which is very sensitive to the effective flexural stiffness (EI) of the column. Because of this, the behaviour of a composite column under lateral loading and its response to deflection is largely determined by the EI of the member. Thus, prediction models used for composite member design should accurately mirror this behaviour. However, EI varies due to several design parameters, and the implementation of high-strength materials, which are not considered by the current composite design codes of practice. The reliability of the design methods from six codes of practice (i.e., AS 5100, AS/NZS 2327, Eurocode 4, AISC 2010, ACI 318, and AIJ) for composite columns is studied in this paper. Also, the reliability of these codes of practice against a serviceability limit state criterion are estimated based on the combined use of the test-based statistical procedure proposed by Johnson and Huang (1997) and Monte Carlo simulations. The composite columns database includes 100 tests of circular concrete-filled tubes, rectangular concrete-filled tubes, and concrete-encased steel composite columns. A summary of the reliability analysis procedure and the evaluated reliability indices are provided. The reasons for the reliability analysis results are discussed to provide useful insight and supporting information for a possible revision of available codes of practice.

In this paper, the behaviour of axially loaded partially encased composite columns made with light welded H steel shapes is examined using ABAQUS finite element modelling. The results of the numerical simulations are compared to the response observed in previous experimental studies on that column system. The steel shape of the specimens has transverse links attached to the flanges to improve its local buckling capacity and concrete is poured between the flanges only. The test specimens included 14 stubcolumns with a square cross section ranging from 300 mm to 600 mm in depth. The transverse link spacing varied from 0.5 to 1 times the depth and the width-to-thickness ratio of the flanges ranged from 23 to 35. The numerical model accounted for nonlinear stress-strain behaviour of materials, residual stresses in the steel shape, initial local imperfections of the flanges, and allowed for large rotations in the solution. A Riks displacement controlled strategy was used to carry out the analysis. Plastic analyses on the composite models reproduced accurately the capacity of the specimens, the failure mode, the axial strain at peak load, the transverse stresses in the web, and the axial stresses in the transverse links. The influence of applying a typical construction loading sequence could also be reproduced numerically. A design equation is proposed to determine the axial capacity of this type of column.

SC 합성기둥은 H형강 플랜지 사이에 후프를 용접하고, 플랜지 사이의 공간에 콘크리트가 채워진 새로운 합성기둥 시스템이다. 본 연구의 전단계로서 SC 합성기둥의 압축, 휨, 전단 실험을 통하여 SC 합성 기둥의 우수한 구조적인 거동을 확인하였다. 그러나 기둥은 특성상 축력과 휨을 동시에 받고 있기 때문에 SC 합성기둥에 축력과 휨이 작용할 경우에 대한 평가가 이루어져야 한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 축력을 받고 있는 SC 합성기둥의 휨 내력을 내부 콘크리트의 충전 유무, 후프와 스터드 볼트의 사용 유무, 축력의 크기를 변수로 하여 실험을 수행하였다. 그 결과 SC 합성 기둥은순철골 기둥에 비하여 최대 내력은 약 33%~42% 정도. 연성 능력은 약 33%~63% 정도의 증가 효과를 보이고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 또한 국내 $\ulcorner$강구조 한계상태 설계기준$\lrcorner$으로 평가된 SC 합성기둥의 휨 내력은 Eurocode-4, 일본 기준식에 비해 상당히 안전측으로 제시되고 있고, 축력이커질수록 실험에 의한 최대 내력이 국내 기준식과 차이가 커져 추후 SC 합성기둥 내력산정은 Eurocode-4 식을 반영하는 것이 바람직할 것으로 판단된다.

강재 매입형 합성기둥 구조는 주로 건물구조와 교량의 교각구조에 적용되어 왔고, 최근에는 교량의 교각구조에 적용하는 예가 늘어나고 있는 실정이다. 교각은 건물의 기둥에 비해 상당히 큰 규모의 구조물이기 때문에 강재비를 적절한 수준으로 유도하면서 의도하는 성능을 만족하는 단면을 설계해야 한다. 그러나 합성구조의 기본원리가 구조물을 구성하는 구조재료의 일체화된 거동에 근거함으론 강재 매입형 합성기둥 구조의 적용에 앞서, 먼저 콘크리트와 강재 단면의 합성 작용에 대한 명확한 정의가 필요하다. 일반적으로 강재 매입형 합성구조는 부착과 마찰에 의해서 합성작용을 확보한다고 가정하고 설계하는데, 콘크리트 단면 강재 단면 그리고 합성 단면으로 각각 다를 경우, 거동의 차이를 가져올 수 있기 때문에 적절한 합성작용을 위한 규정이 요구된다. 이 논문에서는 횡방향 철근에 의한 콘크리트의 구속 효과, H형 강재 복부의 천공에 의한 기계적 맞물림 그리고 전단 연결재에 의한 영향을 고려하여 실험을 수행하였다. 실험을 통해 계산된 값보다 큰 부착 강도를 얻을 수 있었다. 구속효과, 기계적 맞물림 그리고 전단 연결재를 통해 전단 강도의 증가를 유도할 수 있었고, 이는 강재 매입형 합성 기둥에서 합성 작용을 확보하는데 효과적으로 이용될 수 있다.
