This paper investigates the seismic performance of exposed RCFST column-base joints, in which the high-strength steel bars (USD 685) are set through the column and reinforced concrete foundation without any base plate and anchor bolts. Three specimens with different axial force ratios (n = 0, 0.25, and 0.5) were tested under cyclic loadings. Finite element analysis (FEA) models were validated in the basic indexes and failure mode. The hysteresis behavior of the exposed RCFST column-base joints was studied by the parametrical analysis including six parameters: width of column (D), width-thickness ratio (D/t), axial force ratio (n), shear-span ratio (L/D), steel tube strength (f_y) and concrete strength (f_c). The bending moment of the exposed RCFST column-base joint increased with D, f_y and f_c. But the D/t and L/D play a little effect on the bending capacity of the new column-base joint. Finally, the calculation formula is proposed to assess the bending moment capacities, and the accuracy and stability of the formula are verified.

Four finite element (FE) models are examined to find the one that best estimates moment-rotation characteristics of top- and seat-angle with double web-angle connections. To efficiently simulate the real behavior of connections, finite element analyses are performed with following considerations: 1) all components of connection (beam, column, angles and bolts) are discretized by eight-node solid elements; 2) shapes of bolt shank, head, and nut are precisely taken into account in modeling; and 3) contact surface algorithm is applied as boundary condition. To improve accuracy in predicting moment-rotation behavior of a connection, bolt pretension is introduced before the corresponding connection moment being surcharged. The experimental results are used to investigate the applicability of FE method and to check the performance of three-parameter power model by making comparison among their moment-rotation behaviors and by assessment of deformation and stress distribution patterns at the final stage of loading. This research exposes two important features: (1) the FE method has tremendous potential for connection modeling for both monotonic and cyclic loading; and (2) the power model is able to predict moment-rotation characteristics of semi-rigid connections with acceptable accuracy.

This study examined the maximum resistant moment and nonlinear rotational stiffness of wedge joint between the vertical and horizontal members of system supports. To examine the maximum resistant moment and propose the nonlinear rotation stiffness of wedge joint, 6 specimens were tested and additional 3 specimens, where the horizontal member was welded to the vertical member, were tested to compare the moment capacity of wedge joints. The average maximum moment in the tested wedge joint was 1.183 kNm which represented about 70 % of the maximum moment developed in the welded specimens. And, as simulating nonlinear rotational stiffness of the wedge joint, a tri-linear model was suggested. The rotational stiffness was estimated as 23.095 kNm/rad in first stage, 7.945 kNm/rad in second stage, and 3.073 kNm/rad in third stage. For the failure mode, the specimen with the wedge joint showed the failure of joint between vertical and horizontal members. However, the specimen with welded joint represented the yielding of horizontal members.

The majority of connections in moment resisting frames are considered as being fully-rigid. Consequently, the real behavior of the connection, which has some level of flexibility, is ignored. This may result in inaccurate predictions of structural response. This study investigates the influence of flexibility of the extended end-plate connections in the steel moment frames. This is done at two levels. First, the actual micro-behavior of extended end-plate moment connections is explored with respect to joint flexibility. Then, the macro-behavior of frames with end-plate moment connections is investigated using modal, nonlinear static pushover and incremental dynamic analyses. In all models, the P-Delta effects along with material and geometrical nonlinearities were included in the analyses. Results revealed considerable differences between the behavior of the structural frame with connections modeled as fully-rigid versus those when flexibility was incorporated, specifically difference occurred in the natural periods, strength, and maximum inter-story drift angle.

이 논문에는 정모멘트를 받는 강합성거더의 공칭휨강도를 평가하기 위한 연구를 수록하였다. 한계상태설계법을 적용한 현행 도로교설계기준(2012)에 제시된 합성거더의 휨강도 규정은 국내에서 생산되는 일반구조용 강재를 사용한 합성거더에 적용할 수 있다. 고성능 강재 HSB600뿐만 아니라 HSB800를 적용한 강합성거더에 적용하기 위해서는 현행 공칭휨강도 평가식을 개선해야될 필요성이 있다. 강합성거더의 공칭휨강도를 평가하기 위하여, 기존에 수행된 연구들을 고찰하였으며 모멘트-곡률해석방법을 이용하여 다양한 단면을 갖는 강합성거더의 극한휨강도와 연성비를 평가하기 위한 변수해석을 수행하였다. 변수해석결과를 토대로 일반강재를 적용한 강합성거더에 대해 기존 평가식보다 덜 보수적인 공칭휨강도 평가식을 제안하였다. 또한 고성능 강재 HSB600과 HSB800을 적용한 강합성거더의 새로운 공칭휨강도 평가식도 함께 제안하였다.

동일한 총 정적 모멘트를 갖지만 단부 및 중앙부 모멘트 분배가 서로 다른 총 3개의 슬래브-기둥 내부 접합부를 실험하였다. 각 실험체는 4.2m 정사각형 슬래브와 356mm 정사각형 단면을 갖는 기둥으로 구성되며, 슬래브의 두께는 152mm이다. 실험 결과, 플랫플레이트 시스템은 비 균열 상태에서부터 최종 파괴 단계까지 상당히 큰 모멘트 재분배 현상이 나타나고, 극한 상태에서 실험체의 단부 및 중앙부 모멘트 분배는 설계에서의 철근 분배에 의해 크게 좌우되었다. 또한 이러한 모멘트 재분배 현상은 슬래브의 펀칭전단강도에 영향을 준다.

A bending moment $M_u$ transferred at slab-column connection is resisted at the slab critical section by flexure and shear. The ACI 318-05 Building Code(1) gives an empirical equation for the fraction ${\gamma}_{\upsilon}$ of the moment $M_u$ to be transferred by shear at the slab critical section at d/2 from the column face and also the effective wide(c+3h). The equation is based on tests of interior slab-column connections without shear reinforcement. In order to investigate the data eight test specimens were examined. The test shows that increased slab load substantially reduces both the unbalanced moment capacity and the lateral drift capacity of the connection. Especially, the specimens with the bottom reinforcement existence and nonexistence, appears remarkable differences. Studies also show that the code equation for ${\gamma}_{\upsilon}$ does not apply to all cases. The purpose of this study is to compare the test results with present ACI 318-05 Building Code provisions for design of slab-column connections and with the analysis of the experimental data for a new limitation of strength equation without shear reinforcement and bottom reinforcement.

본 연구에서는 유공부분을 각형강관으로 보강한 것으로서 강도, 파괴성상, 연성 등의 구조적인 특성을 연구하였다. 주된 변수로는 1) 유공의 유무, 2) 유공의 수, 3) 유공의 위치 등이다. 정하중 실험결과 PFBS1A와 PFBS2A의 실험체의 성능이 가장 뛰어난 것으로 나타났다. 전반적으로 유공의 위치를 최대모멘트영역(M), 전단영역 (S), 모멘트+전단영역 (M+S)에 두었을 때 최대모멘트영역에 둔 실험체에서 무공보보다는 강도와 연성능력의 향상을 볼 수 있었다.

In this study, nominal moment-axial load interaction diagrams, moment-curvature relationships, and ductility of rectangular hybrid beam-column concrete sections are analyzed using the modified Hognestad concrete model. The hybrid columns are primarily reinforced with steel bars with additional Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) control bars. Parameters investigated include amount, pattern, location, and material properties of concrete, steel, and GFRP. The study was implemented using a user defined comprehensive $MATLAB^{(R)}$ simulation model to find an efficient hybrid section design maximizing strength and ductility. Generating lower bond stresses than steel bars at the concrete interface, auxiliary GFRP bars minimize damage in the concrete core of beam-column sections. Their usage prevents excessive yielding of the core longitudinal bars during frequent moderate cyclic deformations, which leads to significant damage in the foundations of bridges or beam-column spliced sections where repair is difficult and expensive. Analytical results from this study shows that hybrid steel-GFRP composite concrete sections where GFRP is used as auxiliary bars show adequate ductility with a significant increase in strength. Results also compare different design parameters reaching a number of design recommendations for the proposed hybrid section.
