The seismic performance of steel beam to concrete-encased composite column with unsymmetrical steel section joints is investigated and reported within this paper. Experimental and analytical evaluation were conducted on a total of 8 specimens with T-shaped and L-shaped steel section under lateral cyclic loading and axial compression. The test parameters included concrete strength, stirrup ratio and axial compression ratio. The response of the specimens was presented in terms of their hysterisis loop behavior, stress distribution, joint shear strength, and performance degradation. The experiment indicated good structural behavior and good seismic performance. In addition, a three-dimensional nonlinear finite-element analysis simulating was conducted to simulate their seismic behaviors. The finite-element analysis incorporated both bond-slip relationship and crack interface interaction between steel and concrete. The results were also compared with the test data, and the analytical prediction of joint shear strength was satisfactory for both joints with T-shaped and L-shaped steel section columns. The steel beam to concrete-encased composite column with unsymmetrical steel section joints can develop stable hysteretic response and large energy absorption capacity by providing enough stirrups and decreased spacing of transverse ties in column.

This study aims to investigate the influence of bevel angles on the fatigue life of V-groove butt-welded joints with back-plates made by SM490A steel material, generally used for excavators, because changes in the geometry, material and surface properties of welded regions affect the fatigue life of welded structures. Butt type test specimens were prepared by the $CO_2$ welding of rolled steel plates (SM50A steel) with a thickness of 13.5 mm at a welding speed of 30 cm/min and these Butt type test specimens had two different groove angles, which are $40^{\circ}$ (A type) and $30^{\circ}$ (B type). In order to investigate differences in fatigue life between two types, 4-point bending fatigue tests were conducted with a stress ratio of R=0.1 under the cyclic loading environment at a frequency of 5 Hz at room temperature. The fatigue life of A type specimens was approximately 7% higher than that of B type specimens. The stress concentration factors calculated by finite element analysis were 2.16 for A type and 2.25 for B type, whose difference was caused by the influence of the back-plates of butt-welded structures. The current results could provide important guidelines to determine the V-groove angle of butt-welded joints with a satisfactory fatigue life, although under severe operating conditions.

Glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars have been introduced as an effective alternative for the conventional steel reinforcement in concrete structures to mitigate the costly consequences of steel corrosion. However, despite the superior performance of these composite materials in terms of corrosion, the effect of replacing steel reinforcement with GFRP on the seismic performance of concrete structures is not fully covered yet. To address some of the key parameters in the seismic behavior of GFRP-reinforced concrete (RC) structures, two full-scale beam-column joints reinforced with GFRP bars and stirrups were constructed and tested under two phases of loading, each simulating a severe ground motion. The objective was to investigate the effect of damage due to earthquakes on the service and ultimate behavior of GFRP-RC moment-resisting frames. The main parameters under investigation were geometrical configuration (interior or exterior beam-column joint) and joint shear stress. The performance of the specimens was measured in terms of lateral load-drift response, energy dissipation, mode of failure and stress distribution. Moreover, the effect of concrete damage due to earthquake loading on the performance of beam-column joints under service loading was investigated and a modified damage index was proposed to quantify the magnitude of damage in GFRP-RC beam-column joints under dynamic loading. Test results indicated that the geometrical configuration significantly affects the level of concrete damage and energy dissipation. Moreover, the level of residual damage in GFRP-RC beam-column joints after undergoing lateral displacements was related to reinforcement ratio of the main beams.

국내 액상화 상세평가에 관한 시방내용을 살펴보면, 지진을 정현하중으로 고려한 등가전단응력개념에 기초하여 전단응력을 달리한 3회 이상의 액상화 발생 실내진동시험을 수행하고 이를 토대로 액상화 저항응력비 곡선을 도시하여 지진규모별로 적용할 것을 명시하고 있다. 즉, 현행 액상화 상세평가에서는 실내진동시험결과인 응력, 변형률, 과잉간극수압, 유효응력, 응력 경괴의 변화 등의 다양한 결과들을 효과적으로 이용하지 못하고 최대전단응력과 액상화 발생시 진동재하횟수라는 단순한 시험결과만을 이용하여 액상화 평가를 수행한다. 본 연구에서는 현행 액상화 상세평가에서의 단순한 시험결과의 이용을 탈피하여 응력, 변형률, 그리고, 과잉간극수압 시간이력들과 응력-변형률 상관관계 및 유효응력경로 등의 다양한 실내진동시험 결과를 토대로 액상화 발생메카니즘을 포함한 지반의 동적저항상태를 분석하였다. 특히, 과잉간극수압의 영향을 고려한 동적 유효응력경로가 지반의 동적거동을 효과적으로 구분하여 나타낼 수 있는 점을 발견하고 이를 토대로 지반의 동적상태를 점진적 응력감소, 급진적 응력감소, 그리고 액상화 후 극한상태의 3단계로 구분하였다. 또한, 액상화 현상이 실제적으로 점진적 응력감소에서 급진적 응력감소로 전환되는 시점에서 대변형을 동반하여 발생한다는 사실을 발견하고 이를 액상화 상태전환시점으로 정의하였으며 이러한 액상화상태전환시점이 압축제하 또는 인장재제하로 하중방향이 바뀌는 시점에서 발생하는 점을 반영하여 1/4주기별 시험결과분석에 기초하여 저항특성을 나타내었다. 그리고, 본 연구를 통해 제안된 액상화 저항특성에 대한 타당성 검토를 위해 과잉간극수압으로 인해 발생하는 지반재료 내부에서 소산되는 에너지 개념과 기제안된 교란상태개념에 기초한 액상화 저항특성과 비교하였다. 연구결과, 제안된 누적 소성 전단변형률은 액상화 발생의 원인이 되는 과잉간 극수압의 영향을 합리적으로 표현하고 있을 뿐만 아니라 진동하중으로부터 소산되는 재료 내부의 에너지 변화를 신뢰성 높게 표현하고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 특히, 제안된 지반의 한계 저항특성의 경우, 기제안된 교란도 함$.$수에 기초한 수치해석방법보다 정확하게 대변형의 영향을 포함하지 않고 한계상태를 표현하고 있는 것으로 나타났다.

내식성과 기계적 성능이 우수한 316L 스테인리스 강의 저주기 변형률제어 피로시험에서 3가지 변형률진폭과 3가지 변형률비의 조건이 피로수명에 미치는 효과를 분석하였다. 낮은 변형률범위에서 곡선이 거의 중첩되는 Masing 거동이 나타나고, 높은 변형률범위에서 비선형거동 응력범위가 서로 크게 벗어나는 non-Masing 거동과 함께 평균응력의 감소가 나타났다. 소성 변형률에너지를 이용하여 저주기 피로수명을 예측하고 non-Masing 거동을 고려한 수명예측 방법의 정확성 여부를 검토하였다. 각각의 변형률진폭과 변형률비의 조건에서 초기 수 사이클 동안 반복경화 현상 후 장시간동안 점진적으로 낮아져 연화하다가 파괴 되었다. 저사이클 피로수명을 정확히 예측하기 위해서는 변형률진폭에 따라 Masing 및 non-Masing 거동을 구분하고, 이를 반영한 수명예측식을 적용해야 함을 알았다.

액상화 구성모델의 입력변수는 실내외 실험 등을 통해 지반 및 하중 조건에 적합한 값을 결정하는 것이 중요하지만, 설계 실무에서는 시험수행의 어려움 등으로 입력변수의 결정 및 해석결과의 검증이 어려웠다. 본 연구에서는 반복 직접전단시험에 대한 수치모델링을 수행하여 액상화 구성모델 중 Finn 모델과 PM4Sand 모델의 적용성을 분석하였다. 그 결과, Finn 모델은 과잉간극수압의 최대값 도달시점은 모사할 수 있었지만 항복 이후의 과잉간극수압 응답 및 응력-변형률 거동을 모사하는데 한계가 있었다. 이에 반해, PM4Sand 모델은 액상화 도달시점 및 및 액상화 이후의 응력-변형률 거동을 잘 모사할 수 있었다. 최종적으로, 설계조건에 맞는 액상화 저항전단응력비 CRR을 모사할 수 있는 액상화 모델의 입력변수 산정절차를 제안하고 PM4Sand 모델의 입력변수를 산정하는 간편식을 제안하였다.

Fatigue is a process of progressive permanent internal structural change in a material subjected to repeitive stresses. These change may be damaging and result in progressive growth of cracks and complete fracture if the stress repetitins are sufficiently large. For structural members subjected to cyclic loads, the continuous and irrecoverable damage processes are taking place. These processes are referred as the cumulative damage processes due to fatigue loading. Moreover, increased use of high strength concrete makes the fatigue problem more important because the cross-section and dead weight are reduced by using high strength concrete. The purpose of this study is to investigate the shear fatigue behavior of reinforced concrete beams according to shear reinforcement ratio and concrete compressive strength under repeated loadings. For this purpose, comprehensive static and fatigue tests of reinforced concrete beams were conducted. The major test variables for the fatigue teats are the concrete strength and the amount of shear reinforcements. The increase of deflections and steel strains according to load repetition has been plotted and analyzed to explore the damage accumulation phenomena of reinforced concrete beams. An analytical model for shear fatigue behavior has been introduced to analyze the damage accumulation under fatigue loads. The failure mode and fatigue lives have been also studied in the present study. The comparisons between analytical results and experimental data show good correlation.

This paper presents an experimental investigation of bond-strengthening hooks as a new method to increase bond strength along flexural reinforcing bars in reinforced concrete (RC) beams and columns. The RC members, which consisted of 1,300 MPa-class spirals as shear reinforcement, often suffered from bond splitting failure. The proposed method attempts to increase confining stiffness around the flexural bars by placing U-shaped hooks and to prevent premature bond splitting failure. Twelve specimens with varied amounts and sizes of the hooks were prepared to verify the strengthening effectiveness under monotonic and cyclic loading conditions. The test result indicated that the hooks increased the bond strength along the flexural bars although the strengthening effectiveness was limited by effective reinforcement ratio $P_{be}$. This limit is determined by size of stress-transmitting zones of concrete around anchors of the hooks. Anchors of the hooks are recommended to be longer than twelve times the hook diameter and inserted deeper than a quarter of the member depth (D/4). Proposed design equations provide modest estimates of the shear strengths.

Main objective of this research is to evaluate performance of high-strength concrete (HSC) columns for ductility and strength. Eight one-third scale columns with compressive strength of 69 MPa were subjected to a constant axial load corresponding to 30 % of the column axial load capacity and a cyclic horizontal load-inducing reversed bending moment. The variables studied in this research are the volumetric ratio of transverse reinforcement (${\rho}_s=1.58$, 2.25 %), tie configuration (Type H, Type C and Type D) and tie yield strength ($f_{yh}=549$ and 779 MPa). Test results show that the flexural strength of every column exceeds the calculated flexural capacity based on the equivalent concrete stress block used in the current design code. Columns with 42 % higher amounts of transverse reinforcement than that required by seismic provisions of ACI 318-02 showed ductile behaviour, showing a displacement ductility factor (${\mu}_{{\Delta}u}$) of 3.69 to 4.85, and a curvature ductility factor (${\mu}_{{\varphi}u}$) of over 10.0. With an axial load of 30 % of the axial load capacity, it is recommended that the yield strength of transverse reinforcement be held equal to or below 549 MPa.
