In regions of high shear forces in composite bridges, headed stud shear connectors need to be arranged with a small spacing in order to satisfy the design requirement of resisting the high interface shear force present at this location. Despite this, studies related to groups of headed studs are somewhat rare. This paper presents an investigation of the static behaviour of grouped stud shear connectors in high-strength concrete. Descriptions are given of five push-out test specimens with different arrangements of the studs that were fabricated and tested, and the failure modes, load-slip response, ultimate load capacities and related slip values that were obtained are reported. It is found that the load-slip equation given by some researchers based on a single stud shear connector in normal strength concrete do not apply to grouped stud shear connectors in high-strength concrete, and an algebraic load-slip expression is proposed based on the test results. Comparisons between the test results and the formulae provided by some national codes show that the equations for the ultimate capacity provided in these codes are conservative when used for connectors in high-strength concrete. A reduction coefficient is proposed to take into account the effect of the studs being in a group.

The bonding efficacy of steel I-section embedded in metakaolin-fly ash-based geopolymer concrete (MK-FA-GC) was investigated in this study. Push-out tests were conducted on nine column specimens to evaluate the influence of compressive strength of concrete, embedded length of steel I-section, thickness of concrete cover, and stirrup ratio on the bond performance. Failure patterns, load-slip relationships, bond strength, and distribution of bond stress among the specimens were analyzed. The characteristic bond strength of geopolymer concrete (GC) increased with higher compressive strength, longer embedded steel section length, thicker concrete cover, and larger stirrup ratio. Empirical formulas for bond strength at the loading end were derived based on experimental data and a bond-slip constructive model for steel-reinforced MK-FA-GC was proposed. The calculated bond-slip curves showed good agreement with experimental results. Furthermore, numerical simulations using ABAQUS software were performed on column specimens by incorporating the suggested bond-slip relationship into connector elements to simulate the interface behavior between MK-FA-GC and the steel section. The simulation results showed a good correlation with the experimental findings.

Corrosion of the headed studs shear connectors is an important factor in the reduction of the durability and mechanical properties of the steel-concrete composite structure. In order to study the effect of stud corrosion on the mechanical properties in the negative moment region of steel-concrete composite beams, the corrosion of stud was carried out by accelerating corrosion method with constant current. Static monotonic loading was adopted to evaluate the cracking load, interface slip, mid-span deflection, and ultimate bearing capacity of four composite beams with varying corrosion rates of headed studs. The effect of stud corrosion on the stiffness of the composite beam's hogging moment zone during normal service stage was thoroughly examined. The results indicate that the cracking load decreased by 50% as the corrosion rate of headed studs increase to 10%. Meanwhile, due to the increase of interface slip and mid-span deflection, the bending stiffness dropped significantly with the same load. In comparison to uncorroded specimens, the secant stiffness of specimens with 0.5 times ultimate load was reduced by 25.9%. However, corrosion of shear studs had no obvious effect on ultimate bending capacity. Based on the experimental results and the theory of steel-concrete interface slip, a method was developed to calculate the bending stiffness in the negative bending moment region of composite beams during normal service stage while taking corrosion of headed studs into account. The validity of the calculation method was demonstrated by data analysis.

본 논문에서는 합성보의 부착슬립 효과를 고려할 수 있는 유한요소 수치모델을 제안하고자 한다. 전단연결재가 설치된 슬래브와 거더 경계에서 선형 전단력-슬립 관계를 가정하여, 부착슬립 거동을 해석할 수 있는 수치모델이 구현되었다. 본 수치모델을 통하여 축 방향의 자유도를 부가하지 않고 2절점의 보 요소를 적용하여 합성보 경계에서의 슬립 거동을 고려하는 것이 가능하다. 선형 부분전단 연결이론을 토대로 한 슬립 거동의 지배방정식은 슬래브와 거더 경계에서 힘의 평형상태와 단면 내에서 상수로 가정된 곡률을 바탕으로 결정된다. 또한, 지배방정식 구성에 있어서 요소 양 절점에서의 휨 모멘트 값을 필요로 하기 때문에 유한요소 해석으로 도출되는 상수 모멘트를 요소 내에서 선형으로 분포시켰다. 제안된 수치모델을 적용한 해석결과를 기존 연구의 수치해석 결과 및 실험결과와 비교하였으며, 하중-처짐 곡선의 비교를 통하여 본 모델의 성능을 검증하였다.

In this paper, experimental investigations on high strength steel (HSS) stud connected steel-concrete composite (SCC) girders to understand the effect of shear connector density on their flexural behaviour is presented. SCC girder specimens were designed for three different shear capacities (100%, 85%, and 70%), by varying the number of stud connectors in the shear span. Three SCC girder specimens were tested under monotonic/quasi-static loading, while three similar girder specimens were subjected to non-reversal cyclic loading under simply supported end conditions. Details of casting the specimens, experimental set-up, and method of testing, instrumentation for the measurement of deflection, interface-slip and strain are discussed. It is found that SCC girder specimen designed for full shear capacity exhibits interface slip for loads beyond 25% of the ultimate load capacity. Specimens with lesser degree of shear connection show lower values of load at initiation of slip. Very good ductility is exhibited by all the HSS stud connected SCC girder specimens. It is observed that the ultimate moment of resistance as well as ductility gets reduced for HSS stud connected SCC girder with reduction in stud shear connector density. Efficiency factor indicating the effectiveness of high strength stud connectors in resisting interface forces is estimated to be 0.8 from the analysis. Failure mode is primarily flexure with fracturing of stud connectors and characterised by flexural cracking and crushing of concrete at top in the pure bending region. Local buckling in the top flange of steel beam was also observed at the loads near to failure, which is influenced by spacing of studs and top flange thickness of rolled steel section. One of the recommendations is that the ultimate load capacity can be limited to 1.5 times the plastic moment capacity of the section such that the post peak load reduction is kept within limits. Load-deflection behaviour for monotonic tests compared well with the envelope of load-deflection curves for cyclic tests. It is concluded from the experimental investigations that use of HSS studs will reduce their numbers for given loading, which is advantageous in case of long spans. Buckling of top flange of rolled section is observed at failure stage. Provision of lips in the top flange is suggested to avoid this buckling. This is possible in case of longer spans, where normally built-up sections are used.

차량의 엔진성능에 따라 구동성능이 결정되는 도로주행차량과 달리, 포장되지 않은 지반 위를 주행하는 야지궤도차량의 구동성능은 지반-궤도 접지면에서 발생하는 지반의 전단 및 침하현상에 의해 제한된다. 특히 차량의 중량에 의해 발생하는 정적침하 및 슬립에 의해 유발되는 슬립침하는 지반-궤도 접지면에서 지반저항력을 발현시켜 야지궤도 차량의 구동을 직접적으로 방해하는 요소로 작용한다. 따라서 야지궤도차량의 구동성능을 확보하기 위해서는 정적침하 및 슬립침하를 평가하고 제한할 필요가 있다. 본 연구에서는 야지궤도차량의 중량 및 구동지반의 특성이 슬립침하에 미치는 영향을 종합적으로 평가하기 위하여, 다양한 연직하중 및 지반조건에서 모형궤도시험을 수행하였다. 모형 시험 결과, 모든 시험조건에 대해 슬립율이 증가할수록 슬립침하가 증가했지만, 그 증가량은 점차 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 궤도시스템에 재하 된 상부 연직하중이 크고 모형지반의 상대밀도가 작을수록 슬립침하가 커지며 이에 따라 지반저항력도 증가하는 것으로 평가되었다. 추가적으로, 평가된 슬립침하를 각 시험조건 별로 산정된 정적침하로 정규화 시킨 뒤 이를 슬립율에 관한 함수로 나타내어 야지궤도차량의 침하량 및 지반저항력 산정 시 활용 가능하도록 하였다.

The 3D nonlinear analysis for steel-concrete hybrid deck is carried out by utilizing 2D plane interface element. The effect of the slip occurred between steel and concrete can be modeled by this element. This analysis focuses on not only global behavior of steel-concrete hybrid deck but also local behaviors of members of it such as lower steel plate, I-beam, and concrete which are varied by slip modulus. In this analysis, it was founded that the limit slip modulus could classify the states of steel-concrete hybrid deck into three parts such as full-composite, partial-composite, and non-composite, considering the behavior of lower steel plate, I-beam, and concrete at the mid span and the support as well as the yield load and ultimate load of it.

The study presents the results of an experimental program concerning the shear force transfer between reinforced concrete (RC) jackets and existing columns with damages. In order to investigate the effectiveness of the repair method applied and the contribution of each shear transfer mechanism of the interface. It includes 22 concrete columns (core) (of 24,37MPa concrete strength) with square section (150mm side, 500 mm height and scale 1:2). Ten columns had initial construction damages and twelve were subjected to initial axial load. Sixteen columns have full jacketing at all four faces with 80mm thickness (of 31,7MPa concrete strength) and contain longitudinal bars (of 500MPa nominal strength) and closed stirrups spaced at 25mm, 50mm or 100mm (of 220MPa nominal strength). Fourteen of them contain dowels at the interface between old and new concrete. All columns were subjected to repeated (pseudo-seismic) axial compression with increasing deformation cycles up to failure with or without jacketing. Two load patterns were selected to examine the difference of the behavior of columns. The effects of the initial damages, of the reinforcement of the interface (dowels) and of the confinement generated by the stirrups are investigated through axial- deformation (slip) diagrams and the energy absorbed diagrams. The results indicate that the initial damages affect the total behavior of the column and the capacity of the interface to shear mechanisms and to slip: a) the maximum bearing load of old column is decreased affecting at the same time the loading capacity of the jacketed element, b) suitable repair of initially damaged specimens increases the capacity of the jacketed column to transfer load through the interface.

합성구조는 전체가 동일한 재료 특성을 가지는 구조와는 달리 서로 다른 특성 즉 강재와 콘크리트의 구조로 결합되어 있다. 따라서 실제 모델링 시 이러한 재료 특성을 반영하지 않으면 실제 거동을 예측할 수 없으므로 콘크리트와 강재 사이에 인터페이스 요소를 연결하여 강재와 콘크리트의 슬립을 예측할 수 있게 한다. 인터페이스 요소는 일반적으로 사용되는 구성방정식은 적합하지 않고 실제 부착 및 슬립을 고려한 비선형 구성 방정식을 사용하여야만 적절히 사용할 수 있다. 이 계면요소를 이용하여 판형 강재 박스와 콘크리트의 접촉면을 묘사하였다. 그리고 강재 박스의 휨-좌굴 거동을 묘사하기 위해서는 일반적인 8절점 적합 요소의 사용은 부적절하므로 판형 강재 박스는 보강 변형도(Enhanced Assumed Strain) 고체요소를 사용하여 휨거동을 묘사할 수 있게 하였다.

본 연구에서는 매입형 합성보에서 전체 보의 휨거동 및 합성면에서의 상대변위(Slip) 등을 분석함으로써 화학적 부착, 부착파괴 후 기계적 맞물림 및 마찰작용, 전단 스터드가 합성보 전체의 강도 및 강성과 합성단면에서의 전단합성거동에 기여하는 정도를 해석해 보고자 한다. 이를 위해 U자형 성형강판을 이용한 합성보 및 CT형강 용접방식 강판성형 합성보에 대해 구조성능 실험과 유한요소해석을 수행하였다. 실험 및 해석결과에 의하면, 전단 스터드의 설치 유무에 따라 매입형 합성보의 극한 모멘트성능 차이는 약 10% 미만을 나타내었다. 이것은 강재 보의 단면형상으로 인한 화학적 및 기계적 부착력이 크기 때문에 이에 의한 합성작용으로도 일정 이상의 모멘트성능 발휘가 가능하여 완전합성상태에 해당하는 소성 모멘트내력과의 차이가 비교적 크지 않으며, 합성율이 증가하는 것에 비해 휨모멘트 내력은 완만하게 증가하기 때문으로 나타났다.
