The past research on cold-formed steel (CFS) flexural members have proved that rectangular hollow flanged sections perform better than conventional I-sections due to their higher torsional rigidity over the later ones. However, CFS members are vulnerable to local buckling, substantially due to their thin-walled features. The use of packing, such as firmly connected timber planks, to the flanges of conventional CFS lipped I-sections can drastically improve their flexural performance as well as structural efficiency. Whilst several CFS composites have been developed so far, only limited packing materials have been tried. This paper presents a series of tests carried out on different rectangular hollow compression flanged sections with innovative packing materials. Four-point flexural tests were carried out to assess the flexural capacity, failure modes and deformed shapes of the CFS composite beam specimens. The geometric imperfections were measured and reported. The North American Specifications and Indian Standard for cold-formed steel structures were used to compare the design strengths of the experimental specimen. The test results indicate clearly that CFS rectangular 'compression' flanged composite beams perform significantly better than the conventional rectangular hollow flanged CFS sections.

The field of structural fire engineering has evolved within the construction industry, driven largely by the acceptance of performance-based or goal-based design. This evolution has brought two disciplines very close together - that of structural engineering and fire engineering. This paper presents an overview of structural systems that are frequently adopted in tall building design; typical beams and columns, concrete filled steel tube columns and long span beams with web openings. It is shown that these structural members require a structural analysis in relation to their temperature evolution and failure modes to determine adequate thermal protection for a given fire resistance period. When this is accounted for, a more explicit understanding of the behaviour of the structure and significant cost savings can be achieved. This paper demonstrates the importance of structural fire assessments in the context of tall building design. It is shown that structural engineers are more than capable of assessing structural capacity in the event of fire using published methodologies. Rather than assumed performance, this approach can result in a safe and quantified design in the event of a fire.

Ductile fracture is one of the most common failure modes of steel beam-to-column connections in moment resisting frames. Most proposed evaluation methods of the plastic deformation capacity of a beam until ductile fracture are based on steel beam tests, where the material's yield strength/ratio, the beam's moment gradient, and loading history are the most important parameters. It is impossible and unpractical to cover all these parameters in real tests. Therefore, a new attempt to evaluate a beam's plastic deformation capacity through analysis is introduced in this paper. Another important issue is about the loading histories. Recent years, the effect on the structural component under long-duration ground motion has drawn great attentions. Steel beams tends to experience a large number of loading cycles with small amplitudes during long-duration earthquakes. However, current research often focuses on the beam's behavior under standard incremental loading protocols recommended by respective countries. In this paper, the plastic deformation capacity of steel beams subjected to long duration ground motions was evaluated through analytical methodology.

This paper presents an investigation on the shear resistance of corrugated web steel beams (CWBs) with a circular web opening. A total of five specimens with different diameters of web openings were designed and tested with vertical load applied on the top flange at mid-span. The ultimate strengths, failure modes, and load versus middle displacement curves were obtained from the tests. Following the tests, numerical models of the CWBs were developed and validated against the test results. The influence of the web plate thickness, steel grade, opening diameter, and location on the shear strength of the CWBs was extensively investigated. An XGBoost machine learning model for shear resistance prediction was trained based on 256 CWB samples. The XGBoost model with optimal hyperparameters showed excellent accuracy and exceeded the accuracy of the available design equations. The effects of geometric parameters and material properties on the shear resistance were evaluated using the SHAP method.

FRP bar를 철근 대체제로 활용하기 위해서는 설계 기준의 확립이 시급하나 국내에서는 이 소재에 대한 기초 연구가 부족한 상황이다. 그러므로 2차에 걸쳐 전단보강이 없는 18개의 FRP RC와 4개의 기존 RC 실험체의 거동을 관찰하였다. 1차 실험은 휨 파괴 거동과 사용성 항목의 계측 자료 수집을 목적으로 시작되었다. 휨파괴를 유도하기 위하여 전단배근을 강화하는 대신 그로 인한 거동의 불확실성을 배제하기 위하여 전단지간비만을 조정하여 휨파괴를 유도하고, 전단배근을 사용하지 않기로 하였다. 실험 결과 거의 모든 실험체는 전단파괴 되었으며 실험계획에 적용한 ACI 440.1R과 CSA S806의 전단 강도식이 실제와 큰 편차가 있음을 확인하였다. 1차 실험의 결과를 근거로 2차 실험에서는 전단파괴거동을 집중적으로 관찰하였다. 표준 실험체의 제원은 길이 3,300 mm폭 ${\times}$ 800 mm ${\times}$ 유효깊이 200 mm, 순지간 2,800 mm, 전단지간 1,200 mm로 전단지간비는 6.0이며, 단순지지 조건으로 4점 재하실험을 수행하였다. 검토 변수에는 콘크리트 압축강도, 보강근의 종류 및 탄성계수, 전단지간비, 유효보강비, 다발 배근의 영향, 피복두께의 영향이 포함된다.

Objectives: The aims of this study were to conduct a systematic review of the microtensile bond strength (${\mu}TBS$) of multi-mode adhesives to dentin and to perform a meta-analysis to assess the significance of differences in the ${\mu}TBS$ of one of the most commonly used universal adhesives (Scotchbond Universal, 3M ESPE) depending on whether the etch-and-rinse or self-etch mode was used. Materials and Methods: An electronic search was performed of MEDLINE/PubMed, ScienceDirect, and EBSCOhost. Laboratory studies that evaluated the ${\mu}TBS$ of multi-mode adhesives to dentin using either the etch-and-rinse or self-etch mode were selected. A meta-analysis was conducted of the reviewed studies to quantify the differences in the ${\mu}TBS$ of Scotchbond Universal adhesive. Results: Only 10 studies fulfilled the inclusion criteria for the systematic review. Extensive variation was found in the restorative materials, testing methodologies, and failure mode in the reviewed articles. Furthermore, variation was also observed in the dimensions of the microtensile testing beams. The meta-analysis showed no statistically significant difference between the etch-and-rinse and self-etch modes for Scotchbond Universal adhesive (p > 0.05). Conclusions: Multi-mode 'universal' adhesives can achieve substantial bonding to dentin, regardless of the used modes (either etch-and-rinse or self-etch).

샌드위치 구조물들은 적은 무게의 첨가로 높은 강성(stiffness)을 요구하는 조선업에 널리 사용되어져 왔다. 국부하중 조건 하에서 샌드위치 구조물에 대한 디자인 변수들을 고려하는 것은 중요시되어졌다. 이 연구는 샌드위치 보의 강도에 대한 core층의 밀도, core층의 두께 그리고 face층의 두께 비율의 영향을 기술하였다. 이차원 탄성이론에 바탕을 둔 파손 하중은 AS4/3501-6 facing과 polyurethane foam core 샌드위치 보의 3점 굴곡 실험 결과와 잘 일치 하였다. 또한 그러한 파손 하중들은 face층의 비율의 변화와 함께 비교되었다. 파괴 mode들의 교차점으로 결정되어진 최적조건은 강도(strength)와 강성(stiffness)에 대한 샌드위치 빔의 최적 core 밀도의 값이 결정되었다. 추가적으로 강도에 대한 최적조건과 그렇지 못한 샌드위치 보에 대한 face 두께 비율 효과가 하중 길이에 따라 비교되었으며, 강도와 강성이 core/face무게 비율과 항께 검토하였다.

Shear connectors are key components to ensure the efficient composite action and satisfactory transfer of shear forces at the steel-concrete interface in composite beams. Under hazardous circumstances, such as fire in a building, the performance of a composite beam significantly relies on the performance of shear connectors. Studies on the behavior of shear connectors subjected to elevated temperatures performed in the last decade are reviewed in this paper. The experimental testing of push-out specimens, the design approaches provided by researchers and different codes, the major failure modes, and the finite element modeling of shear connectors are highlighted. The critical research review showed that the strength of a shear connector decreases proportionally with the increase in temperature. Compared with the volume of work published on shear connectors at ambient temperatures, a few studies on the behavior of shear connectors under fire have been conducted. Several areas where additional research is needed are also identified in this paper.

The use of fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) for torsional strengthening of reinforced concrete (RC) single cell box beams has been analyzed considerably by researchers worldwide. However, little attention has been paid to torsional strengthening of multicell box girders in terms of both experimental and numerical research. This paper reports the experimental work in an overall investigation for torsional strengthening of multicell box section RC girders with externally-bonded Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer CFRP strips. Numerical work was carried out using non-linear finite element modeling (FEM). Good agreement in terms of torque-twist behavior, steel and CFRP reinforcement responses, and crack patterns was achieved. The unique failure modes of all the specimens were modeled correctly as well.
