Owing to the obstruction of section steel on the moisture diffusion in concrete, the existing shrinkage prediction models overestimate the time-dependent deformation of steel reinforced concrete (SRC) columns, particularly for the SRC columns with enclosed section steels. To solve this issue, this study deals with analytical and experimental studies on the drying shrinkage for this type of column. First, an effective method for predicting the drying shrinkage of concrete based on finite element model is introduced and two crucial parameters for simulation of humidity field are determined. Then, the drying shrinkage of SRC columns with enclosed section steels is investigated and two modified parameters, which depend on the ambient relative humidity and the ratio of section steel size to column size, are introduced to the B3 model. Finally, an experiment on the shrinkage deformation of SRC columns with enclosed section steels is conducted. Comparing the predicted results with the experimental ones, it demonstrates that the modified B3 model is quite reasonable.

There are separate merits and demerits to wood and steel. The combination of wood and steel as a compound section is able to improve the properties of both and ultimately increase their final bearing capacity. The composite cross-section made of steel and wood has higher hardness while showing more ductility and the local buckling of steel is delayed or completely prevented. The purpose of this study is to investigate the behavior of composite columns enclosed in wooden logs and the hollow sections of steel that will be examined in a laboratory environment under the axial load to determine the final bearing capacity and sample deformation. In terms of methodology, steel sheet and carbon fiber reinforced polymer sheet (FRP) are tested to construct hollow rectangular sections and reinforce timber. Besides, the method of connecting hollow sections and timber including glue and screw has been also investigated. As a result, timber lumber enclosed with carbon fiber-reinforced polymer sheets in which fibers are horizontally located at 90° are more resistant with better ductility.

복합 구조 시스템은 강재와 콘크리트의 합성으로 내화성능이 우수할 것으로 판단된다. 그러나 복합구조의 내화성능에 대한 연구는 아직 초기 단계로 기둥과 보 등의 부재에 대한 내화실험 결과가 일부 발표 되었으나 합성보에 대한 자료는 거의 없다. 이에 본 연구에서는 TSC 합성보의 내화성능 평가를 위해 내화실험과 수학적 및 수치 해석적인 방법을 통해 평가하였다. 내화실험은 형상의 종류와 가력 하중, 내화피복재 보강방법 등을 변수로 실험을 실시하였다. 또한 수치 해석 중 강재와 콘크리트의 재료특성은 Eurocode에 준하였으며 온도의 변화는 열전도 FE 해석과 수학적인 방법을 사용하였다.

철골-콘크리트 합성 기둥(이하 SC 합성 기둥)은 철골 플랜지 사이를 연결재로 용접하고, 이런 플랜지 사이에 콘크리트를 채워 시공성과 경제성을 얻을 수 있는 새로운 합성 부재이다. 이 연구의 전단계로서 비조밀단면을 사용한 SC 합성 기둥의 축력 실험을 통해 구조 내력이 우수하다는 것을 입증하였으나, 기둥의 특성상 축력과 휨을 동시에 받고 있기 때문에 후속 실험 연구가 필요하게 되었다. 따라서 일정 축력을 받는 비조밀단면을 가진 SC 합성 기둥의 휨 성능을 강축 및 약축 방향으로 실험을 실시하여 각국 기준식과 비교하여 분석하였다. 실험 결과 모든 방향에 대해서 각국 기준식에서 제시하고 있는 축력-휨 모멘트 내력식을 만족하는 결과를 보이고 있었다. 특히 AISC-LRFD 기준식은 합성 기둥의 내력을 지나치게 안전측으로 고려하고 있다. 또한 추후 SC 합성 기둥의 축력-휨 모멘트 내력식은 EC4 기준식으로 산정하는 것이 철골과 콘크리트의 적합 조건을 고려하지 않은 일본 기준식과 약축 방향 내력을 산정하기 어려운 ACI 기준식보다는 바람직하다.

In order to investigate the flexural bearing capacity of panel zone of diaphragm-through joint between concrete filled square steel tubular column and steel beam, four specimens were tested under static tension loads to study the mechanical properties and bearing capacity of diaphragm-through joints with a failure mode of panel zone. Finite element models of these specimens were developed to simulate the test and compare the predicted failure modes, load-displacement curves and bearing capacities with the experimentally observed. It was found that the tensile load from the steel beam flange is mainly shared by the square steel tube and the diaphragm. The diaphragm plastic zone appears along the cross-section lines enclosed by the square steel tube and the influence of steel beam web on the plastic zone of the steel tube is significant and cannot be neglected. Computational models of yield lines on square steel tube and diaphragm are established based on the distribution pattern of the plastic zone, and an analytical method for the evaluation of the bearing capacity of the joint is proposed. The theoretical results and the experimental data are compared and found in good agreement.

공장생산으로 신속한 시공이 가능한 모듈러 시스템은 하중저항 방식에 따라 보-기둥 프레임식의 개방형 모듈러 시스템과 패널 및 스터드로 이뤄진 폐쇄형 모듈러 시스템으로 구분할 수 있다. 그 중 개방형 모듈러 시스템은 폐쇄형 단면형상으로 모듈간 접합이 어려우며, 특정부분의 하중 집중현상으로 국부좌굴이 발생하여 내력이 저감될 가능성이 있다. 본 연구에서는 기존 모듈러 시스템의 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 절곡형 단면 안에 콘크리트를 채운 합성단면을 사용한 모듈러 시스템을 제안하였다. 제안된 시스템의 내진 성능 평가를 위해 ATC 40의 능력스펙트럼 해석법을 사용하였으며, 일반적인 모듈러시스템의 결과와 비교하여 성능을 검증하였다. 해석결과에 따르면 성능점에서 합성단면을 사용한 모듈러시스템의 소성힌지 갯수 및 변형량이 적게 나타났다. 이를 토대로 제안된 합성단면의 내진성능이 기존 부재 보다 우수 것으로 판단하였다.

When a welded circular hollow section (CHS) tubular joint is subjected to brace axial loading, failure position is located usually at the weld toe on the chord surface due to the weak flexural stiffness of the thin-walled chord. The failure mode is local yielding or buckling in most cases for a tubular joint subjected to axial load at the brace end. Especially when a cyclic axial load is applied, fracture failure at the weld toe may occur because both high stress concentration and welding residual stress along the brace/chord intersection cause the material in this region to become brittle. To improve the ductility as well as to increase the static strength, a tubular joint can be reinforced by increasing the chord thickness locally near the brace/chord intersection. Both experimental investigation and finite element analysis have been carried out to study the hysteretic behaviour of the reinforced tubular joint. In the experimental study, the hysteretic performance of two full-scale circular tubular T-joints subjected to cyclic load in the axial direction of the brace was investigated. The two specimens include a reinforced specimen by increasing the wall thickness of the chord locally at the brace/chord intersection and a corresponding un-reinforced specimen. The hysteretic loops are obtained from the measured load-displacement curves. Based on the hysteretic curves, it is found that the reinforced specimen is more ductile than the un-reinforced one because no fracture failure is observed after experiencing similar loading cycles. The area enclosed by the hysteretic curves of the reinforced specimen is much bigger, which shows that more energy can be dissipated by the reinforced specimen to indicate the advantage of the reinforcing method in resisting seismic action. Additionally, finite element analysis is carried out to study the effect of the thickness and the length of the reinforced chord segment on the hysteretic behaviour of CHS tubular T-joints. The optimized reinforcing method is recommended for design purposes.

Composite sections design consists on checking that the point defined by axial load and bending moment keeps included within the surface enclosed by the section interaction curve. Eurocode 4 suggests a method for tracing this diagram based on the plastic stress distribution method. However curves obtained according to this criterion overvalue concrete encased sections bearing capacity, especially when axial force comes with high bending moment values, so a correction factor is required. This article proposes a method for tracing this diagram based on the strain compatibility method. When stresses on the section are integrated by considering the Navier hypothesis, the use of the materials nonlinear constitutive equations provides curves much more adjusted to reality. This process requires the use of rather complex software which might reveal as too complex for practitioners. Preserving the same criteria of an elastic-plastic stress distribution, this article presents alternative expressions to obtain the failure internal forces in five significant points of the interaction diagram having considered five different positions of the neutral axis. These expressions are simply enough for their practical application. Concordance of curves traced strictly relying on these five points with those obtained by computer assisted stress integration considering the strain compatibility method and even with Eurocode 4 weighted curves will be presented for three different cross-sections and two different concrete strengths, revealing very good results.
