말뚝머리-확대기초 접합부는 상부구조물의 하중을 말뚝으로 전달하는 연결부분으로서 부재의 단면과 강성의 급격히 변화하는 부위이기 때문에 응력이 집중되고 작용하는 휨모멘트와 전단력이 큰 취약부분이다. 이 연구에서는 제작조건에 따른 PHC말뚝 및 합성 PHC말뚝과 확대기초 접합부의 구조성능을 평가하는데 목적이 있다. 반복가력 하중 조건하에서의 균열패턴, 하중-변위관계, 연성비, 초기 회전강성 및 에너지소산 특성을 각각 평가하였다. 접합부 초기 회전강성은 확대기초 내부로 삽입되는 말뚝삽입 깊이와 축방향철근 배근위치에 큰 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 접합부 강도, 연성비 및 누적 에너지소산 등의 접합부 거동은 말뚝의 종류와 축방향 철근 배근 위치에 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다.

Link-to-column connections in Eccentrically Braced Frames (EBFs) have critical role in their safety and seismic performance. Accordingly, in this study, contribution of supplemental stiffeners on hysteretic behavior of the link-to-column connection is investigated. Considered stiffeners are placed on both sides and parallel to the link web between the column face and the first stiffener of the link. Hysteretic behaviors of the link beams with supplemental stiffeners are numerically investigated using a pre-validated numerical model in ANSYS. It turned out that supplemental stiffeners can change energy dissipation mechanism of intermediate links from shear-flexure to shear. Both rectangular and trapezoidal supplemental stiffeners are studied. Moreover, optimal placement of the supplemental stiffeners is also investigated. Obtained results indicate a discrepancy of less than 9% in maximum link shear of the numerical and experimental specimens. This indicates that the numerical results are in good agreement with those obtained from the test. Trapezoidal supplemental stiffeners improve rotational capacity of the link. Moreover, use of two supplemental stiffeners at both ends of the link can more effectively improve hysteretic behavior of intermediate links. Supplemental stiffeners would also alleviate the imposed demands on the connections. This latter feature is more pronounced in the case of two supplemental stiffeners at both ends of the link.

In the present work a new friction device, with a set of single or double rotational friction flanges and a link element, is described and tested. The mechanism may be applied for the strengthening of existing r/c or steel buildings as well as in new constructed buildings. The device has selectable variable behavior in different levels of displacement and an interlock mechanism that is provided by the link element. The link element may be designed to lock at preselected level of displacement, offering in this way an extra safety reserve against strong earthquakes. A summary of the existing literature about other similar mechanisms is initially presented in this paper. The proposed mechanism is presented and described in details. Laboratory experiments are presented in detail and the resulted response that proves the efficiency of the mechanism at selectable levels of strength capacity is discussed. Drawings of the mechanism attached to a r/c frame with connection details are also included. Finally a dynamic analysis of two r/c frames, with and without the proposed mechanism attached, is performed and the resulted response is given. The main conclusion is that the proposed mechanism is a cheap and efficient devise for the improvement of the performance of new or existing framed buildings to seismic loads.

Experience of previous earthquakes shows that a considerable portion of concrete precast buildings sustain relatively large damages especially at the beam-column joints where the damages are mostly caused by bar slippage. Precast concrete buildings have a kind of discontinuity in their beam-column joints, so reinforcement details in this area is too important and have a significant effect on the seismic behavior of these structures. In this study, a relatively simple and efficient nonlinear model is proposed to simulate pre- and post-elastic behavior of the joints in usual practice of precast concrete building. In this model, beam and column components are represented by linear elastic elements, dimensions of the joint panel are defined by rigid elements, and effect of slip is taken into account by a nonlinear rotational spring at the end of the beam. The proposed method is validated by experimental results for both internal and external joints. In addition, the seismic behavior of the precast building damaged during Bojnord earthquake 13 May 2017, is investigated by using the proposed model for the beam-column joints. Damage unexpectedly inducing the precast building in the moderate Bojnord earthquake may confirm that bearing capacity of the precast building was underestimated without consideration of joint behavior effect.

각형강관 기둥을 이용한 모멘트 접합부는 주로 관통형 다이어프램 형식으로 사용되고 있으나, 제작 및 시공과정이 복잡하여 적용하는데 어려움이 있다. 본 연구에서 제안하는 강구조물 시스템은 단위 유닛 모듈(각형강관 기둥, H형강 보, 원웨이 볼트)을 현장으로 반입하여 볼트조립만으로 완성되는 것이다. 따라서 이 연구에서는 내부보강판의 길이, 내부보강판의 형상을 변수로 설정하여 제안된 기둥-보 접합부의 내력 및 강성, 연성능력, 에너지 소산능력을 비교 분석하여 제시된 강구조물 시스템을 평가하였다.

The cold-formed steel storage racks are extensively employed in various industries applications such as storing products in reliable places and storehouses before distribution to the market. Racking systems lose their stability under lateral loads, such as seismic actions due to the slenderness of elements and low ductility. This justifies a need for more investigation on methods to improve their behavior and increase their capacity to survive medium to severe loads. A standardized connection could be obtained through investigation on the moment resistance, value of original rotational stiffness, ductility, and failure mode of the connection. A total of six monotonic tests were carried out to determine the behavior of the connection of straight 2.0 mm, and 2.6 mm thickness connects to 5 lug end connectors. Then, the obtained results are benched mark as the original data. Furthermore, an extreme learning machine (ELM) technique has been employed to verify and predict both moment and rotation results. Out of 4 connections, increase the ultimate moment resistance of connection by 13% and 18% for 2.0 mm and 2.6 mm upright connection, respectively.

콘크리트충전 강판(CFT)기둥과 H-형강 보 접합부의 기존 보강 방식은 상 하 동일 다이아프램 형태로 처리하는 것이 일반적이지만, 우리나라와 같은 중 약진지역에서는 하부플랜지에 인장 발생률이 적으므로 하부측을 단순화시켜 경제적인 접합부를 만들 수 있다. 우선적으로 본 논문에서는 단순인장실험을 실시하여 인장거동을 파악하고, 그 결과를 확장 적용하여 하부측 단순화의 타당성을 검증하였다. 본 실험에서는 상부에 복합십자형 다이아프램(Combined Diaphragm)을 하부에는 네 가지 형식 즉, 복합십자형, 무보강, 수평 T-bar, 수직 Plate를 다아아프램으로 제작한 실대크기의 실험체를 ANSI/AISC SSPEC-2002 가력 프로그램(AISC,2002)에 따라 반복가력실험을 하였다. 하부다이아프램에 사용된 수평 T-bar와 수직 Flat bar의 스터드 볼트는 횡력에 의해 하부다이아프램에 인장력이 가해질 때 보 플랜지의 인장력을 내부 콘크리트에 전달하기 위함이다. 각각의 실험체는 하부 인장시 내력의 차이가 조금 있었으나 모든 실험체가 AISC에서 규정하고 있는 합성보통모멘트 골조인(AISC,2002) 0.01rad의 비탄성회전 능력을 발휘하였다. 하부 접합부의 거동을 분석한 결과, 단순화된 하부다이아프램은 내력과 강성뿐만 아니라 소성 변형 능력이 우수하며 현장에 사용하기에 충분한 내진성능을 나타냄을 입증하였다.
