최근 들어 강구조 공장건축은 상당부분 P.E.B.시스템으로 지어지고 있으나 관련기술이 대부분 외국에서 수입된 것으로 전용프로그램(예, MBS, LTI 등)에만 의존하고 있고 국내의 설계지침이 없어서 AISC-ASD에 의해 설계하고 있다. 또한 P.E.B.골조의 구조적 거동을 검토한 연구 및 H형강을 이용한 요소기술 개발이 부족한 실정에 있다 특히, 기둥-보(rafter) 접합부는 Extended type end plate에 의한 접합에만 의존하여 과다설계의 경향이 있으므로. 접합부에 대한 구조적 검토가 필요하다. 따라서 이 연구에서는 P.E.B.시스템 공장건물에서 H형강-보(rafter)의 접합부(Extended/Flush type)의 구조성능을 실험적으로 평가하여 구조적, 경제적으로 우수한 P.E.B. 시스템 골조의 설계를 위한 기초자료를 제공하고자 한다.

The paper aims to investigate the mechanical mechanism and seismic effect of stiffeners in blind bolt endplate connection to CFST column. A precise 3D finite element model with considering the cyclic properties of concrete and steel materials was established, and the efficiency was validated through monotonic and cyclic test data. The deforming pattern and the seismic performance of the unstiffened and stiffened blind bolt endplate connections were investigated. Then a parametric analysis was conducted to analyze the contribution of stiffeners and the joint working behaviors with endplate under cyclic load. The joint stiffness classifications were compared and a supplement stiffness classification method was proposed, and the energy dissipation ability of different class connections were compared and discussed. Results indicated that the main deformation pattern of unstiffened blind bolt endplate connections was the local bending of end plate. The vertical stiffeners can effectively alleviate the local bending deformation of end plate. And influence of stiffeners in thin endplate and thick endplate was different. Based on the stiffness of external diaphragm welded connection, a more detailed rigidity classification was proposed which included the pin, semi-rigid, quasi-rigid and rigid connection. Beam was the main energy dissipation source for rigid connection. For the semi-rigid and quasi-rigid connection, the extended endplate, stiffeners and steel beam would all participate in the energy dissipation.

This paper presents a numerical investigation of the mechanical behaviour of extended end - plate steel connections including comparison with full size experiments. Contact and friction laws have been taken into account with nonlinear, three dimensional finite element analysis. Material and geometric nonlinearities have been implemented to the model, as well. Results are then compared with experimental tests conducted at the Jordan University of Science and Technology. According to the most significant observation of the analysis, a separation of the column flange from the extended end - plate occurs. Other important structural parameters of the connection, like the impact of some column stiffeners on the overall response, local buckling of the column and friction of the beam to column interface, have been examined as well.

최근 경사단부강판과 고장력 볼트를 이용한 보 이음(Inclined end-plate beam splice) 공법이 개발되었다. 단부강판은 브래킷 단부에 용접되고 연결보는 고장력 볼트를 통해 이음시킨다. 기둥면에는 브래킷이 용접되고, 브래킷과 연결보 단부에 각각 경사단부강판과 고장력 볼트를 이용하여 이음 시킨다. 이 연구에서는 총 6개의 외부 보-기둥 모멘트접합부의 반복가력실험을 수행하였다. 실험변수는 단부강판 상세와 볼트 배열 상세이다. 모든 실험체는 AISC Design Guide 4에 따라 단부강판 및 볼트에 의한 모멘트 저항성능이 보 이음부 요구모멘트보다 크도록 설계되었다. 실험결과, 확장된 단부강판(Extended end-plate)을 사용한 보이음부의 경우 이음부 단부강판의 지레작용 및 볼트의 취성 파단 없이 중앙 보 모멘트가 단부 브래킷으로 효과적으로 전달되었다. 하지만, 보-기둥 접합부의 변형능력은 기둥면 보 플랜지 용접부의 취성파단으로 제한적이었다. 실험결과를 바탕으로, 기울어진 단부강판 이음부를 갖는 보-기둥 모멘트접합부의 내진설계를 위한 개선사항을 제안하였다.

This paper describes a new type of replaceable fuse for moment resisting frames. Column-tree connections with beam splice connections are frequently preferred in the moment resisting frames since they eliminate field welding and provide good quality. In the column-tree connections, a part of the beam is welded to the column in the shop and the rest of the beam is bolted with the splice connection in the field. In this study, a replaceable reduced beam section (R-RBS) connection is proposed in order to eliminate welding process and facilitate assembly at the site. In the proposed R-RBS connection, one end is connected by a beam splice connection to the beam and the other end is connected by a bolted end-plate connection to the column. More importantly is that the proposed R-RBS connection allows the replacement of the damaged R-RBS easily right after an earthquake. Pursuant to this goal, experimental and numerical studies have been undertaken to investigate the performance of the R-RBS connection. An experimental study on the RBS connection was used to substantiate the numerical model using ABAQUS, a commercially available finite element software. Additionally, five different finite element models were developed to conduct a parametric study. The results of the analysis were compared in terms of the moment and energy absorption capacities, PEEQ, rupture and tri-axiality indexes. The design process as well as the optimum dimensions of the R-RBS connections are presented. It was also demonstrated that the proposed R-RBS connection satisfies AISC criteria based on the nonlinear finite element analysis results.

This paper presents some of the results from an experimental research project on the behavior of extended end-plate connections subjected to moment conducted at the Structural Laboratory of Jordan University of Science and Technology. Since the connection behavior affects the structural frame response, it must be included in the global analysis and design. In this study, the behavior of six full-scale stiffened and unstiffened cantilever connections of HEA- and IPE-sections has been investigated. Eight high strength bolts were used to connect the extended end-plate to the column flange in each case. Strain gauges were installed inside each of the top six bolts in order to obtain experimentally the actual tension force induced within each bolt. Then the connection behavior is characterized by the tension force in the bolt, extended end-plate behavior, moment-rotation relation, and beam and column strains. Some or all of these characteristics are used by many Standards; therefore, it is essential to predict the global behavior of column-beam connections by their geometrical and mechanical properties. The experimental test results are compared with two theoretical (equal distribution and linear distribution) approaches in order to assess the capabilities and accuracy of the theoretical models. A simple model of the joint is established and the essential parameters to predict its strength and deformational behavior are determined. The equal distribution method reasonably determined the tension forces in the upper two bolts while the linear distribution method underestimated them. The deformation behavior of the tested connections was characterized by separation of the column-flange from the extended end-plate almost down to the level of the upper two bolts of the lower group and below this level the two parts remained in full contact. The neutral axis of the deformed joint is reasonably assumed to pass very close to the line joining the upper two bolts of the lower group. Smooth monotonic moment-rotation relations for the all tested frames were observed.

The paper presents the details and results of an experimental study on bolted end-plate joints of industrial type steel building frames. The investigated joints are commonly used in Lindab-Astron industrial buildings and are optimized for manufacturing, erection and durability. The aim of the research was to provide an experimental background for the design model development by studying load-bearing capacity of joints, bolt force distribution, and end-plate deformations. Because of the special joint details, (i.e., joints with four bolts in one bolt-row and HammerHead arrangements), the Eurocode 3 standardized component model had to be improved and extended. The experimental programme included six different end-plate and bolt arrangements and covered sixteen specimens. The steel grade of test specimens was S355, the bolt diameter M20, whereas the bolt grade was 8.8 and 10.9 for the two series. The end-plate thickness varied between 12 mm and 24 mm. The specimens were investigated under pure bending conditions using a four-point-bending test arrangement. In all tests the typical displacements and the bolt force distribution were measured. The end-plate plastic deformations were measured after the tests by an automatic measuring device. The measured data were presented and evaluated by the moment-bolt-row force and moment-distance from centre of compression diagrams and by the deformed end-plate surfaces. From the results the typical failure modes and the joint behaviour were specified and presented. Furthermore the influence of the end-plate thickness and the pretension of the bolts on the behaviour of bolted joints were analysed.

This paper systematically investigated the mechanical performance of the weak-axis cover-plate connection, including a beam end monotonic loading test and a column top cyclic loading test, and a series of parametric studies for exterior and interior joints under cyclic loading using a nonlinear finite element analysis program ABAQUS, focusing on the influences of the shape of top cover-plate, the length and thickness of the cover-plate, the thickness of the skin plate, and the steel material grade. Results showed that the strains at both edges of the beam flange were greater than the middle's, thus it is necessary to take some technical methods to ensure the construction quality of the beam flange groove weld. The plastic rotation of the exterior joint can satisfy the requirement of FEMA-267 (1995) of 0.03 rad, while only one side connection of interior joint satisfied ANSI/AISC 341-10 under the column top cyclic loading. Changing the shape or the thickness or the length of the cover-plate did not significantly affect the mechanical behaviors of frame joints no matter in exterior joints or interior joints. The length and thickness of the cover-plate recommended by FEMA 267 (1995) is also suitable to the weak-axis cover-plate joint. The minimum skin plate thickness and a design procedure for the weak-axis cover-plate connections were proposed finally.

A behavior model for screw connections is developed to provide a better representation of the nonlinear response of thin steel plate shear walls (TSPSWs) with infill plates attached to the boundary frame members via self-drilling screws. This analytical representation is based on the load-bearing deformation relationship between the infill plate and the screw threads. The model can be easily implemented in strip models of TSPSWs where the tension field action of the infill plates is represented by a series of parallel discrete tension-only strips. Previously reported experimental results from tests of two different TSPSWs are used to provide experimental validation of the modeling approach. The beam-to-column connection behavior was also included in the analyses using a four parameter rotational spring model that was calibrated to a test of an identical frame as used for the TSPSW specimens but without the infill plates. The complete TSPSW models consisting of strips representing the infill plates, zero length elements representing the load-bearing deformation response of the screw connection at each end of the strips and the four parameter spring model at each beam-to-column connection are shown to have good agreement with the experimental results. The resulting models should enable design and analysis of TSPSWs for both new construction and retrofit of existing buildings.

두본 연구는 실험적인 방법을 통하여 단부판 이음부의 이음면에서 초기 오차로 발생하는 이격이 이음부의 내력 및 거동에 미치는 영향을 평가한 연구이다. 이를 위하여 총 5가지의 단순보형 실험체를 확장형 단부판 이음부를 이용 계획하였고 주요 변수로는 이음면 초기 이격(gap) 여부, 고력볼트 채결 전 끼움판(finger shim plate) 설치 유무, 고력볼트 체결 후 이음면 이격, 고력볼트 채결 후 끼움판 삽입 여부를 적용하였다. 정적가력실험 결과 이음판의 이격은 이음부의 최대휨강도에 미치는 영향은 제한적이나 수직변형과 초기 및 탄성강성에는 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며, 이격을 제어하기 위해 고력볼트 장력을 이용할 경우 고력볼트의 취성파괴 우려도 있는 것으로 나타나서 이들에 대한 충분한 고려가 필요할 것으로 판단된다.
