This study presents an experimental investigation on six beam-column joint specimens under the lateral cyclic loading. The aim was to explore the effectiveness of steel fiber-reinforced concrete (SFRC) in reducing the transverse shear stirrups in beam-column joints of the reinforced concrete (RC) frames with strong-columns and weak-beams. Two RC and four SFRC specimens with different types of reinforcement detailing and steel fibers of volume fraction in the range of 0.75-1.5% were tested under gradually increasing cyclic displacements. The main parameters investigated were lateral load-resisting capacity, hysteresis response, energy dissipation capacity, stiffness degradation, viscous damping variation, and mode of failure. Test results showed that the diagonally bent configuration of beam longitudinal bars in the beam-column joints resulted in the shear failure at the joint region against the flexural failure of beams having straight bar configurations. However, all SFRC specimens exhibited similar lateral strength, energy dissipation potential and mode of failure even in the absence of transverse steel in the beam-column joints. Finally, a methodology has been proposed to compute the shear strength of SFRC beam-column joints under the lateral loading condition.

Results of an experimental investigation of low-rise reinforced concrete shear walls with rectangular cross section under cyclic loads are discussed and evaluated. Two half scale models of test specimens with height to length ratio of 0.75 were experimented. The dimension of all walls is 1500mm wide $\times$ 950 mm high $\times$ 100 mm thick for all specimens and the section of all boundary at both ends is 100 mm $\times$ 200mm. Main variables are : horizontal shear reinforcement ratios and reinforcement details(including crossed diagonal shear reinforcements in SWR2 specimen) In SWR2 specimen, maximum strength and consequently dissipating energy index were 1.15~1.21 and 1.48 times greater than those of SWR1 specimen, respectively.

The empirical AISC panel zone thickness provision$(t_z\geq(d_z+w_z)$/90) to prevent the cyclic shear buckling of the panel zone was proposed based on the test data of Krawinkler et al. (1971) and Bertero et al. (1973) However, no published records of the equation development or any other background information appear to be available. The calibrated finite element analysis results of this study indicated that the AISC provision was not reasonable. In this study, through including the effects of the column axial force and the aspect ratio of the panel zone, a new equation for the relative strength between the beam and the panel zone was proposed such that the proposed equation can prevent the panel zone shear buckling and reduce the potential fracture associated with the kinking of the column flanges.

In this analytical study numerous prior experimental studies on reinforced concrete beam-to-column connections subjected to cyclic loading are investigated and a database of geometric properties, material strengths, configuration details and test results of subassemblies is established. Considering previous experimental research and employing statistical correlation method, parameters affecting joint shear capacity are determined. Afterwards, an equation to predict the joint shear strength is formed based on the most influential parameters. The developed equation includes parameters that take into account the effect of eccentricity, column axial load, wide beams and transverse beams on the seismic behavior of the beam-to-column connections, besides the key parameters such as concrete compressive strength, reinforcement yield strength, effective joint width and joint transverse reinforcement ratio.

This paper investigates the behavior of reinforced concrete (RC) circular columns under combined loading including torsion. The main variables considered in this study are the ratio of torsional moment to bending moment (T/M) and the level of detailing for moderate and high seismicity (low and high transverse reinforcement/spiral ratio). This paper presents the results of tests on seven columns subjected to cyclic bending and shear, cyclic torsion, and various levels of combined cyclic bending, shear, and torsion. Columns under combined loading were tested at T/M ratios of 0.2 and 0.4. These columns were reinforced with two spiral reinforcement ratios of 0.73% and 1.32%. Similarly, the columns subjected to pure torsion were tested with two spiral reinforcement ratios of 0.73% and 1.32%. This study examined the significance of proper detailing, and spiral reinforcement ratio and its effect on the torsional resistance under combined loading. The test results demonstrate that both the flexural and torsional capacities are decreased due to the effect of combined loading. Furthermore, they show a significant change in the failure mode and deformation characteristics depending on the spiral reinforcement ratio. The increase in spiral reinforcement ratio also led to significant improvement in strength and ductility.

Cyclic triaxial and resonant column tests were conducted to understand the beneficial effects of various grouted sands on liquefaction resistance and dynamic properties. The test procedures were performed on a variety of grouted sands, such as silicate-grouted sand, silicate-cement grouted sand and cement-grouted sand. For each type of grout, sand specimen was mixed with a 3.5% and 5% grout by volume. The specimens were tested at a curing age of 3, 7, 28 and 91 days, and the results of the cyclic stress ratio, the maximum shear modulus and the damping ratio were obtained during the testing program. The influence of important parameters, including the type of grout, grout content, shear strain, confining pressure, and curing age, were investigated. Results indicated that sodium silicate grout does not improve the liquefaction resistance and shear modulus; however, silicate-cement and cement grout remarkably increased the liquefaction resistance and shear modulus. Shear modulus decreased and damping ratio increased with an increase in the amplitude of shear strain. The effect of confining pressure on clean sand and sodium silicate grouted sand was found to be insignificant. Furthermore, a nonlinear regression analysis was used to prove the agreement of the shear modulus-shear strain relation presented by the hyperbolic law for different grouted sands, and the coefficients of determination, $R^2$, were nearly greater than 0.984.

In this study, nine reinforced concrete infilled frames involved bare frames were tested during vertical and cyclic loads simultaneously. This test programs were carried to investigate the horizontal strength and the crack propagation in variance with hoop reinforcement ratio. All specimens were modeling in one-third scale size. In this experimental program structural performance of reinforced concrete shear wall were focus at connection types. Based on the test results, the following conclusions are made. In the boundary column member of reinforced concrete shear wall, increasing the ratio of hoop bar in two or three times, in the fully babel type, the shear and horizontal strength of specimens were increased 1.1-1.2 times than that of fully rigid frame. And infilled shear wall specimen were increased 1.17-1.27 times than that. Fully rigid babel type shear wall specimens were increased 5.7~8.0 times, and infilled shear wall specimens were increased about 4.0~5.6 times than that of infilled shear wall specimens.

구조형식별로 구조물의 안정성 확보를 위해 KBC2009에 새로이 도입된 높이제한에 따라, 내진설계범주D에 해당되는 60 m 이상의 RC 구조물을 계획할 경우 특수전단벽을 의무적으로 사용해야 한다. 그러나 특수전단벽의 엄격한 횡보강 배근상세는 시공성 및 경제성에 부정적 영향을 미칠 것으로 예상된다. 그래서 이 연구에서는 현 규준에 따른 특수전단벽보다 완화된 배근 상세를 갖는 특수전단벽을 제안하고, 특수전단벽과의 성능 비교를 위하여 각각 두 개의 실험체를 제작하고 횡방향 반복 하중실험을 실시하였다. 또한 그 실험 결과를 반영한 보통전단벽, 특수전단벽, 완화된 특수전단벽 구조시스템의 해석모델을 설계하여 FEMA P695에 따른 방법론으로 내진성능평가를 실시하였다.

암반 절리면의 거칠기는 전단강도 및 변형거동에 가장 중요한 영향을 미치는 요소 중의 하나이다. 절리면은 전단변형이 발생하는 동안 손상을 받게 되고 이에 따라 거칠기각은 연속적으로 낮아진다. 절리면의 수직팽창성과 강도 경화 및 연화현상도 거칠기의 변화와 관련이 있는 것으로 이해되고 있다. 따라서 절리면의 거칠기의 변화를 효율적으로 반영시킬 수 있는 수치해석 모델의 개발이 중요하다. 이 연구에서는 탄소성이론을 바탕으로 거칠기 변화를 고려할 수 있는 탄소성 응력-변형 증분식을 유도하여 절리면 거질기 변화가 절리면 전단거동에 미치는 영향을 정량적으로 평가하는데 이용하였다. 유도된 탄소성 증분식을 검증하기 위하여 수치 주기전단시험을 실시하였다. 수치시험결과 개발된 탄소성 증분식은 거친 절리면의 주기전단시험에 나타나는 일반적인 현상들을 모사하는데 효과적임을 알 수 있었다.

풍하중 및 지진하중등 횡하중이 작용하는 무량판 슬래브는 전단파괴와 같은 취성파괴를 지연시키기 위해서 충분한 전단강도와 연성능력을 보유하여야 한다. 본 연구에서는 반복 횡하중을 받는 무량판 슬래브의 전단강도와 변형성능을 고찰하기 위하여, 무보강 및 전단 보강된 총 4개의 내부기둥-슬래브 접합부를 실험하였다. 실험결과, 전단보강 슬래브의 이방향 전단강도는 무보강 슬래브보다 최대 1.5배까지 증가시켜 적용하는 콘크리트구조설계기준(KCI)과 ACI 318-02 기준은 중력하중만이 작용하는 경우에는 적절하나 조합하중 특히 횡하중의 영향이 클 경우에는 매우 불안전측 이었다. 한편, 변형성능 측면에서 슬래브-기둥 접합부의 1.5% 횡변위 성능을 확보하기 위하여 이방향 전단강도에 대한 중력하중비를 40%이하로 제한한 ACI-ASCE 352 위원회의 권고는 안전측인 것으로 나타났다.
