In this study, a new type of self-centering beam-column joint with tapered steel plate links is proposed. Firstly, mechanical property of the basic joint (with the prestressed steel strands only, to provide the self-centering ability) and the combined joint (with both the prestressed steel strands and tapered steel plate links, to provide self-centering and energy dissipation simultaneously) is theoretically analyzed. Then, three joints with different dimensions and combinations of tapered plate links are designed and tested through a series of quasi-static cyclic loading tests. Test results show that a nearly bilinear elastic moment-rotation relationship for the basic joint is obtained. With the addition of tapered steel plate links, typical flag-shape hysteretic curves are obtained, which indicates good self-centering and energy dissipating ability of the combined joint. By installing multiple tapered plate links, stiffness and bearing capacity of the beam-column joint can be enhanced. The theoretical moment-rotation relationships agree well with the test results. A simplified macro model of the proposed joint is developed using OpenSees, which simulates reasonably well its hysteretic behavior.

본 연구에서는 주상복합건물에 적용가능한 건식공법에 의한 프리캐스트 콘크리트 보-기둥 연결부에 대하여 실험을 통하여 분석하였다. 현재 국내에 활용하고 있는 프리캐스트 콘크리트 보-기둥 연결부와 현재 미국에서 사용되고 있는 DDC 연결부, 그리고 DDC 연결부와 개선된 연결부에 포스트텐션을 도입한 시험체를 제작하였고, 실험을 통하여 그 거동을 평가하였다. 실험 결과 보-기둥 연결부에 DDC 시스템을 적용하게 되면 연결부의 강도와 연성능력의 향상을 기대할 수 있었으나 파괴 메커니즘이 보에 에너지를 분산시키지 않고, 연결부에서 사인장 균열에 의하여 에너지를 소산시키게 되어 연결부가 파괴되는 단점이 나타났다. 개량 DDC 연결부는 기둥에 사인장균열이 발생하지 않고 보다 연성적인 파괴거동을 보여주었다. 또한 보-기둥 연결부에 포스트텐션의 도입은 연결부 강도의 증가는 크게 기대할 수 없었으나 자가조정(self-centering) 등을 통하여 연결부의 안정성 및 연성능력에 기여하는 것으로 나타났다.

Three precast concrete beam-column connectors for the high-rise office buildings were considered to investigate the prestressing effects of the DDC(Dywidag Ductile Connectors) of Germany and of the modified DDC. The specimens of DDC, DDC with post-tensioning and modified DDC with post-tensioning were constructed and tested to verify the safety. The DDC with and without post-tensioning showed reliable joint strength and ductility but failed in critical x-shape crackings at the column. The modified one showed better behaviors in tests because they did not show critical column crackings at failure. The use of prestressing did not helpful significantly to increase the strength and ductility of connectors but helpful only to develop self-centering behavior for stability.
