In order to study the failure mode and seismic behavior of the interior-joint in steel traditional-style buildings, a single beam-column joint and a double beam-column joint were produced according to the relevant building criterion of ancient architectural buildings and the engineering instances, and the dynamic horizontal loading test was conducted by controlling the displacement of the column top and the peak acceleration of the actuator. The failure process of the specimens was observed, the bearing capacity, ductility, energy dissipation capacity, strength and stiffness degradation of the specimens were analyzed by the load-displacement hysteresis curve and backbone curve. The results show that the beam end plastic hinge area deformed obviously during the loading process, and tearing fracture of the base metal at top and bottom flange of beam occurred. The hysteresis curves of the specimens are both spindle-shaped and plump. The ultimate loads of the single beam-column joint and double beam-column joint are 48.65 kN and 70.60 kN respectively, and the equivalent viscous damping coefficients are more than 0.2 when destroyed, which shows the two specimens have great energy dissipation capacity. In addition, the stiffness, bearing capacity and energy dissipation capacity of the double beam-column joint are significantly better than that of the single beam-column joint. The ductility coefficients of the single beam-column joint and double beam-column joint are 1.81 and 1.92, respectively. The cracks grow fast when subjected to dynamic loading, and the strength and stiffness degradation is also degenerated quickly.

대구경 현장타설말뚝의 수평지지 특성은 말뚝의 강성, 인접지반의 수평지반반력에 따라 크게 좌우된다. 특히 말뚝설계 시 많이 활용되는 경험적인 수평지반반력계수는 그 결과의 값에 따라서 지지력의 차이가 크므로 수평지지력을 평가하는 데 매우 중요한 요소임에도 불구하고 대구경 현장타설말뚝에 대한 지반반력계수의 평가가 미흡한 실정이다. 또한, 말뚝의 취약부인 수평하중에 대한 영향범위와 최대 모멘트의 발생위치는 서로 상관관계가 있을 수 있고, 수평하중에 대한 말뚝의 보강영역을 판단하는데 주요 고려사항임에도 기존 연구에서는 이 관계에 대해 평가되지 않았다. 이에 본 연구는 대구경 현장타설말뚝의 수평지반반력계수를 평가하고, 말뚝의 영향범위(1/β)와 최대 모멘트의 발생위치(z_m)의 관계를 조사하고자 대구경 현장타설말뚝에 대한 현장시험과 비선형 해석을 수행하였다. 연구결과, 대구경 현장타설말뚝의 수평지지력은 경험식을 통한 산정결과에 따라 최대 190%정도 차이를 보였다. 또한, 말뚝의 수평거동에 대한 영향범위와 최대 모멘트의 발생위치의 관계는 지반조건에 따라 선형적 관계인 것으로 평가되었다.

In recent years, geotextile-encased gravel columns (usually called stone columns) have become a popular method to increasing soil shear strength, decreasing the settlement, acceleration of the rate of consolidation, reducing the liquefaction potential and increasing the bearing capacity of foundations. The behavior of improved loose base-soil with gravel columns under shear loading and the shear stress-horizontal displacement curves got from large scale direct shear test are of great importance in understanding the performance of this method. In the present study, by performing 36 large-scale direct shear tests on sandy base-soil with different fine-content of zero to 30% in both not improved and improved with gravel columns, the effect of the presence of gravel columns in the loose soils were investigated. The results were used to predict the shear stress-horizontal displacement curve of these samples using support vector machines (SVM). Variables such as the non-plastic fine content of base-soil (FC), the area replacement ratio of the gravel column (Arr), the geotextile encasement and the normal stress on the sample were effective factors in the shear stress-horizontal displacement curve of the samples. The training and testing data of the model showed higher power of SVM compared to multilayer perceptron (MLP) neural network in predicting shear stress-horizontal displacement curve. After ensuring the accuracy of the model evaluation, by introducing different samples to the model, the effect of different variables on the maximum shear stress of the samples was investigated. The results showed that by adding a gravel column and increasing the Arr, the friction angle (ϕ) and cohesion (c) of the samples increase. This increase is less in base-soil with more FC, and in a proportion of the same Arr, with increasing FC, internal friction angle and cohesion decreases.

본 연구에서는 콘크리트 압축강도($f_x$)$704kg/cm^2$, 철근 항복강도 ($f_y$) $5,830kg/cm^2$인 고강도 철근 콘크리트 고층형 내력벽에 있어서 휨항복 후 축응력에 따른 비탄성 이력특성을 규명하기 위하여 60층 철근콘크리트 초고층 건축물의 최저층부 3개층을 1/4크기로 축소 모델링한 3층 1스팬의 바벨형(barbell shape)독립 내력벽 실험체 3개를 제작하여 실험을 실시하였다. 본 실험의 주요변수는 내력벽 경계부재(boundary element)에 작용된 축응력으로 본 실험 연구결과에 대한 분석으로부터 얻은 결론은 다음과 같다. 형상비 1.8인 고강도 철근콘크리트 고층형 내력벽은 경계부재에 작용된 축응력이 본 연구범위인 0.21$f_x$의 높은 축응력하에서도 수직철근의 휨항복이 선행되면서 연성적인 거동을 보였으며, 각 실험체별로 작용된 축응력에 따라 상이한 파괴양상 및 이력특성을 나타냈다. 각 실험체는 연성비(${\delta}/{\delta}_y$)13에서 15사이에 휨압축부 경계부재 및 벽체 콘크리트의 압괴와 주근 파단 등에 의해서 최종 파괴되었다. 그러나, 모든 실험체는 실험종료시까지 축력이 충분히 지지되는 휨항복형의 안정된 비탄성 이력거동을 보였다. 경계부재에 작용된 축응력이 본 연구범위인 0.21$f_x$이내인 경우, 축응력은 내력벽의 횡하중 지지능력, 초기 할선강성 및 에너지 소산능력 등을 증대시키는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 고강도 철근콘크리트 고층형 내력벽의 휭항복 후 경계부재에 작용된 축응력에 따른 내진성능을 평가하기 위하여 연성, 에너지, 일 및 강성 등의 개념을 도입한 손상지표(damage index) 로써 각 실험체의 내진성능을 평가한 결과, 경계부재에 작용된 측응력이 본 연구범위인 0.21$f_x$이내에서 축응력이 증가됨에 따라 고강도 철근콘크리트 고층형 내력벽의 내진성능은 다소 저하되는 것으로 나타났다.

Steel plate shear wall with self-centering energy dissipation braces (SPSW-SCEDB) is a lateral force-resisting system that exhibits flag-shaped hysteretic responses, which consists of two pre-pressed spring self-centering energy dissipation (PS-SCED) braces and a wall plate connected to horizontal boundary elements only. The present study conducted a series of cyclic tests to study the hysteretic performances of braces in SPSW-SCEDB and the effects of braces on the overall hysteretic characteristics of this system. The SPSW-SCEDB with PS-SCED braces only exhibits excellent self-centering capability and the energy loss caused by the large inclination angle of PS-SCED braces can be compensated by appropriately increasing the friction force. Under the combined effect of the two components, the SPSW-SCEDB exhibits a flag-shaped hysteretic response with large lateral resistance, good energy dissipation and self-centering capabilities. In addition, the wall plate is the primary energy dissipation component and the PS-SCED braces provide supplementary energy dissipation for system. The PS-SCED braces can provide up to 90% self-centering capability for the SPSW-SCEDB system. The compressive bearing capacity of the wall plate should be smaller than the horizontal remaining restoring force of the braces to achieve better self-centering effect of the system.

Steel spherical hinged bearings have high loading capacity, reliable load transfer, flexible rotation with universal hinge and allowance of large displacement and rotation angle. However, bearings are in complex forced states subject to various load combinations, which lead to the significant influence on integral structural safety. Taking the large-tonnage complex steel spherical hinged bearings of Terminal 2 of Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport as an example, full-scale rotation and shear behaviour tests of the bearings subject to axial tensile load are carried out, and the corresponding finite element simulation analyses are conducted. The results of experiments and finite element simulations are in good agreement with the coincident development tendency of stress and deformation. In addition, the measured rotational moment is less than the calculated moment prescriptive by the code, and the relationship between horizontal displacement and horizontal shear force is linear. Finally, based on these results, the rotation and shear stiffness models of bearings subject to axial tensile load are proposed for the refinement analysis of integral structure.

This paper presents an experimental study to assess the effectiveness of using ferrocement to strengthen deficient beam-column joints. Ferrocement is proposed to protect the joint region through replacing concrete cover. Six exterior beam-column joints, including two control specimens and four strengthened specimens, are prepared and tested under constant axial load and quasi-static cyclic loading. Two levels of axial load on column (0.2fc'Ag and 0.4fc'Ag) and two types of skeletal reinforcements in ferrocement (grid reinforcements and diagonal reinforcements) are considered as test variables. Experimental results have indicated that ferrocement as a composite material can enhance the seismic performance of deficient beam-column joints in terms of peak horizontal load, energy dissipation, stiffness and joint shear strength. Shear distortions within the joints are significantly reduced for the strengthened specimens. High axial load (0.4fc'Ag) has a detrimental effect on peak horizontal load for both control and ferrocement-strengthened specimens. Specimens strengthened by ferrocement with two types of skeletal reinforcements perform similarly. Finally, a method is proposed to predict shear strength of beam-column joints strengthened by ferrocement.

The stress-strain behavior and its effects on the crack initiation and growth of ITO film on PET substrate with a sheet resistance of 45 ohms/sq were investigated. Electrical resistance increased gradually at the strain of 0.7% in the elastic to plastic transition region of the stress strain curves. Numerous cracks were observed after 1% strain and the increase of the resistance can be linked to the cracking of ITO thin films. The onset strain for the increase of resistance increased with increasing strain rate, suggesting the crack initiation is dependent on the strain rate. Upon loading, the initial cracks perpendicular to the tensile axis were observed and propagated the whole sample width with increasing strain. The spacing between horizontal cracks is thought to be determined by the fracture strength and the interfacial strength between ITO and PET. The crack density increased with increasing strain. The spacing between horizontal cracks (perpendicular to the stress axis) increased with decreasing strain rate, The increase of crack density with decreasing strain rate can be attributed to the higher fraction of the plastic strain to the total strain at a given total strain. As the strain increased over 5% strain, cracks parallel to the stress axis were developed and increased in number with strain, accompanied by drastic increases of resistance.

본 연구에서는 기존의 근입비와 재하높이에 따른 모형실험의 결과를 바탕으로 셀 내벽의 마찰을 인위적으로 증감시켜 셀 구조물의 변형특성에 미치는 벽면 마찰의 영향을 알아보고자 하였다. 그 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 재하높이가 낮아질수록 그리고 근입비가 증가할수록 셀 구조물의 변형특성에 미치는 벽면마찰의 영향은 적게 나타났다. 또한 벽면 마찰이 감소함에 따라 항복하중도 작은 값을 나타내었다. 2. 재하높이가 낮아질수록 그리고 근입비가 커질수록 셀 구조물의 수평이동 변위에 대한 회전성분 변위의 비가 작게 나타났다. 따라서 벽면 마찰의 영향은 회전성분 변위와 밀접한 관련이 있음을 알 수 있었다.

Mechanical shear connectors are commonly used to transfer longitudinal shear forces across the steel-concrete interface in composite beams. Steel pipe as a new shear connector is proposed in this research and its performance to achieve composite strength is investigated. Experimental monotonic push-out tests were carried out for this connector. Then, a nonlinear finite element model of the push-out specimens is developed and verified against test results. Further, the finite element model is used to investigate the effects of pipe thickness, length and diameter on the shear strength of the connectors. The ultimate strengths of these connectors are reported and their respective failure modes are discussed. This paper comprises of the push-out tests of ten specimens on this shear connector in both the vertical and horizontal positions in different reinforced concretes. The results of experimental tests are given as load-deformation plots. It is concluded that the use of these connectors is very effective and economical in the medium shear demand range of 150-350 KN. The dominant failure modes observed were either failure of concrete block (crushing and splitting) or shear failure of pipe connector. It is shown that the horizontal pipe is not as effective as vertical pipe shear connector and is not recommended for practical use. It is shown that pipe connectors are more effective in transferring shear forces than channel and stud connectors. Moreover, based on the parametric study, a formula is presented to predict the pipe shear connectors' capacity.
