This paper proposes fast millimeter-wave (mm-wave) beam training protocols with receive beamforming. Both IEEE standards and the academic literature have generally considered beam training protocols involving exhaustive search over all possible beam directions for both the beamforming initiator and responder. However, this operation requires a long time (and thus overhead) when the beamwidth is quite narrow such as for mm-wave beams ($1^{\circ}$ in the worst case). To alleviate this problem, we propose two types of adaptive beam training protocols for fixed and adaptive modulation, respectively, which take into account the unique propagation characteristics of millimeter waves. For fixed modulation, the proposed protocol allows for interactive beam training, stopping the search when a local maximum of the power angular spectrum is found that is sufficient to support the chosen modulation/coding scheme. We furthermore suggest approaches to prioritize certain directions determined from the propagation geometry, long-term statistics, etc. For adaptive modulation, the proposed protocol uses iterative multi-level beam training concepts for fast link configuration that provide an exhaustive search with significantly lower complexity. Our simulation results verify that the proposed protocol performs better than traditional exhaustive search in terms of the link configuration speed for mobile wireless service applications.

이 연구에서는 원형 개구부가 있는 전단지배 하이브리드 강재 연결보의 내진성능을 평가하기 위해 탑-시트 앵글이 있는 실험체 3개(SCB1, SCB2, SCB3)와 앵글이 없는 실험체 1개 (SCB4) 등 총 4개의 강재 연결보 시스템에 대한 반복가력 실험이 수행되었다. 실험변수는 웨브 개구부의 크기, 즉 전단강도비이다. SCB1, SCB2, SCB3, 그리고 SCB4 실험체의 전단강도비(웨브 개구부 크기)는 0.34(300mm), 0.49(268mm), 0.78(200mm), 그리고 0.34(300mm)이다. 실험결과, 제안된 연결보 시스템은 우수한 변형능력과 강성을 보여주었다. 실험연구를 통해 하이브리드 강재 연결보 시스템에 적용가능한 설계전단강도를 제안하였다. 연결보의 전단강도가 소성전단강도의 50% 이하일 때 핀칭이 완화되는 것으로 나타났으며, 이로 인해 내진 성능이 향상되는 것으로 나타났다. 핀칭을 최소화하고, 내진성능을 향상시키기 위해서는 연결보 구조설계 시 연결보의 전단강도를 50% 이상 저감시키는 방안도 고려될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

In steel frame-tube structures (SFTSs) the application of flexural beam is not suitable for the beam with span-to-depth ratio lower than five because the plastic hinges at beam-ends can not be developed properly. This can lead to lower ductility and energy dissipation capacity of the SFTS. To address this problem, a replaceable shear link, acting as a ductile fuse at the mid length of deep beams, is proposed. SFTS with replaceable shear links (SFTS-RSLs) dissipate seismic energy through shear deformation of the link. In order to evaluate this proposal, buildings were designed to compare the seismic performance of SFTS-RSLs and SFTSs. Several sub-structures were selected from the design buildings and finite element models (FEMs) were established to study their hysteretic behavior. Static pushover and dynamic analyses were undertaken in comparing seismic performance of the FEMs for each building. The results indicated that the SFTS-RSL and SFTS had similar initial lateral stiffness. Compared with SFTS, SFTS-RSL had lower yield strength and maximum strength, but higher ductility and energy dissipation capacity. During earthquakes, SFTS-RSL had lower interstory drift, maximum base shear force and story shear force compared with the SFTS. Placing a shear link at the beam mid-span did not increase shear lag effects for the structure. The SFTS-RSL concentrates plasticity on the shear link. Other structural components remain elastic during seismic loading. It is expected that the SFTS-RSL will be a reliable dual resistant system. It offers the benefit of being able to repair the structure by replacing damaged shear links after earthquakes.

The rotation capacities of the plastic hinges located at beam-ends are significantly reduced in traditional steel framed-tube structures (SFTSs) because of the small span-to-depth ratios of the deep beams, leading to the low ductility and energy dissipation capacities of the SFTSs. High-strength steel framed-tube structures with replaceable shear links (HSSFTS-RSLs) are proposed to address this issue. A replaceable shear link is located at the mid-span of a deep spandrel beam to act as a ductile fuse to dissipate the seismic energy in HSSFTS-RSLs. A 2/3-scaled HSSFTS-RSL specimen with a shear link fabricated of high-strength low-alloy Q355 structural steel was created, and a cyclic loading test was performed to study the hysteresis behaviors of this specimen. The test results were compared to the specimens with soft steel shear links in previous studies to investigate the feasibility of using high-strength low-alloy steel for shear links in HSSFTS-RSLs. The effects of link web stiffener spaces on the cyclic performance of the HSSFTS-RSLs with Q355 steel shear links were investigated based on the nonlinear numerical analysis. The test results indicate that the specimen with a Q355 steel shear link exhibited a reliable and stable seismic performance. If the maximum interstory drift of HSSFTS-RSL is designed lower than 2% under earthquakes, the HSSFTS-RSLs with Q355 steel shear links can have similar seismic performance to the structures with soft steel shear links, even though these shear links have similar shear and flexural strength. For the Q355 steel shear links with web height-to-thickness ratios higher than 30.7 in HSSFTS-RSLs, it is suggested that the maximum intermediate web stiffener space is decreased by 15% from the allowable space for the shear link in AISC341-16 due to the analytical results.

목적: 레진 시멘트와 코발트 크롬 합금 간의 미세인장결합강도에 다양한 프라이머들이 미치는 영향을 평가하기 위한 것이다. 재료 및 방법: 본 실험에서는 4개의 프라이머(Universal primer, Metal primer II, Alloy primer, and Metal/Zirconia primer)와 2개의 레진 시멘트(Panavia F2.0, G-CEM LinkAce)를 사용하였고, 길이 6 mm, 폭 1 mm, 두께 1 mm의 150개의 코발트 크롬 빔들이 캐스팅 과정을 통해 제작되었다. 150개의 코발트 크롬 빔들을 프라이머와 레진 시멘트의 종류에 따라 프라이머 처리를 하지 않은 대조군을 포함하여 10개 그룹으로 나누었다. 금속과 레진시멘트를 산화알루미늄($125{\mu}m$ 크기)으로 샌드블라스팅 처리한 후 실리콘 틀을 이용하여 접착시켰다. 실험 전에, 입체현미경(stereomicroscope)을 이용하여 모든 금속-레진 빔들을 검사하였고, 미세인장결합강도 실험을 시행하였다. 통계적인 평가에는 one-way ANOVA와 Tukey's test를 사용하였다. 결과: 모든 그룹들의 평균 미세인장결합강도는 20 - 28 MPa이었으며, 그룹 간에 통계적으로 유의한 차이는 없었다. Panavia F2.0과 G-CEM LinkAce 그룹 모두에서 접착 파절과 응집 파절이 동시에 나타나는 혼합 파절이 가장 흔하게 일어난 파절 양태였다. 결론: 모든 실험군들의 미세인장결합강도는 상대적으로 높았지만, 본 실험에서는 프라이머의 사용이 Panavia F2.0 및 G-CEM LinkAce 레진시멘트와 코발트 크롬 합금 사이의 미세인장결합강도를 증가시키지 않았다.

Beams of steel frame-tube structures (SFTSs) typically have span-to-depth ratios of less than five. This makes a flexural beam unsuitable for such an application because the plastic hinges at the beam-ends cannot be adequately developed. This leads to lower ductility and energy dissipation capacities of SFTSs. To address this, SFTSs with bolted web-connected replaceable shear links (SFTS-BWSLs) are proposed. In this structural system, a web-connected replaceable shear link with a back-to-back double channel section is placed at the mid-length of the deep beam to act as a ductile fuse. This allows energy from earthquakes to be dissipated through link shear deformation. SFTS and SFTS-BWSL buildings were examined in this study. Several sub-structures were selected from each designed building and finite element models were established to study their respective hysteretic performance. The seismic behavior of each designed building was observed through static and dynamic analyses. The results indicate that the SFTS-BWSL and SFTS have similar initial lateral stiffness and shear leg properties. The SFTS-BWSL had lower strength, but higher ductility and energy dissipation capacities. Compared to the SFTS, the SFTS-BWSL had lower interstory drift, base shear force, and story shear force during earthquakes. This design approach could concentrate plasticity on the shear link while maintaining the residual interstory drift at less than 0.5%. The SFTS-BWSL is a reliable resistant system that can be repaired by replacing shear links damaged due to earthquakes.

In the case of seismic-resistant composite dual moment resisting and eccentrically braced frames, the current design practice is to avoid the disposition of shear connectors in the expected plastic zones, and consequently to consider a symmetric moment or shear plastic hinges, which occur only in the steel beam or link. Even without connectors, the real behavior of the hinge may be different from the symmetric assumption since the reinforced concrete slab is connected to the steel element close to the hinge locations, and also due to contact friction between the concrete slab and the steel element. At a larger level, the structural response in the case of important seismic motions depends directly on the elasto-plastic behavior of elements and hinges. The numerical investigation presented in this study summarizes the results of elasto-plastic analyses of several steel frames, considering the interaction of the steel beam with the concrete slab. Several parameters, such as the inter-story drift, plastic rotation requirements and behavior factors q were monitored. In order to obtain accurate results, adequate models of plastic hinges are proposed for both the composite short link and composite reduced beam sections.

탄소섬유쉬트는 경량, 고강도, 우수한 내식성, 그리고 간편한 시공성 때문에 많은 종류의 철근콘크리트 부재의 보강에 사용되고 있다. 그러나 탄소섬유쉬트에 의해 보강된 철근콘크리트 부재의 파괴거동은 탄소섬유쉬트와 콘크리트 표면의 부착특성에 따라 크게 달라진다. 본 연구에서는 탄소섬유쉬트와 콘크리트 사이의 경계면에 링크요소를 이용함으로써 탄소섬유쉬트와 콘크리트 사이의 부착거동의 변화를 고려한 부착응력-미끄럼 모델을 제안하였다. 또한 이 방법의 유효성을 알아보기 위하여 탄소섬유쉬트로 보강된 철근콘크리트 보의 파괴거동에 대한 해석을 실시하여 실험결과와 비교하였다. 그 결과 본 연구에서 제안된 모델을 이용한 해석결과는 실험결과와 비교적 잘 일치함을 알 수 있었다.

When an eccentrically braced frame (EBF) is subjected to severe earthquakes, the links experience inelastic deformations while beams outside of the link, braces and columns are designed to remain elastic. To perform reliable inelastic analyses of EBFs sufficient analytical model which can accurately predict the inelastic performance of the links is needed. It is said in the literature that available analytical models for shear links generally predict very well the maximum shear forces and deformations from experiments on shear links, but may underestimate the intermediary values. In this study it is shown that available analytical models do not predict very well the maximum shear forces and deformations too. In this study an analytical model which can accurately predict both maximum and intermediary values of shear force and deformation is proposed. The model parameters are established based on test results from several experiments on shear links. Comparison of available test results with the hysteresis curves obtained using the proposed analytical model established the accuracy of the model. The proposed model is recommended to be used to perform inelastic analyses of EBFs.

편심브레이스골조의 설계에서 가장 중요한 인자는 링크보의 길이이다. 링크보의 길이에 따라 편심브레이스골조의 거동과 파괴메카니즘이 결정된다. 링크보의 길이가 짧아져 전단력에 의해 소성화되면 중심브레이스골조와 대등한 수평방향강성과 모멘트 연성골조의 연성을 동시에 확보할 수 있다. 또한 링크보의 길이가 길어지게 되면 링크보는 모멘트에 의해 소성화 되어 연성적인 거동을 확보할 수 없게 된다. 근래에 이르러 건축계획적인 측면에서는 링크보의 길이가 길어지는 것이 입면 및 단면계획이 용이하며, 그 필요성이 증대되고 있지만, 모멘트 링크에 대한 기존의 연구가 많이 수행되어 있지 않으며, 이와 관련된 자료가 부족한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 실험을 통해 다양한 접합디테일을 가진 모멘트링크보의 거동을 규명하고 모멘트링크보의 거동을 개선시킬 수 있는 접합디테일을 제시하고자 한다. 4개의 접합 디테일을 가진 총 16개의 실험체를 계획하여 이력거동 실험을 수행하였다.
