외피 구조로서의 강박스와 내부의 철근콘크리트 슬래브로 구성되는 양개형 방폭문은 방호 및 대피 구조물의 출입구에 설치되는 구조체이다. 방폭문과 그 후면의 벽체 사이에는 일정의 설치 간격이 존재하게 되는데, 이로 인한 지지조건 및 구조거동의 변화는 방폭 해석 및 설계에 적절히 고려되지 않고 있다. 본 연구에서는 설치 간격에 의한 지지조건 및 폭압의 변화에 따른 방폭문의 구조응답 및 파괴거동을 유한요소 해석방법으로 비교·분석하였다. 해석 결과에 따르면, 설치 간격 및 폭압의 변화는 방폭문의 최대 처짐 및 영구 처짐과 같은 처짐 거동에 영향을 미치며, 설치 간격이 크고 작음에 따라 방폭문과 벽체의 충돌 접촉 정도 및 이에 의한 충격력이 크게 변화하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 방폭문에 작용하는 이와 같은 충격력의 변화는 슬래브의 전단파괴와 같은 파괴거동에 영향을 미치는 주요 요인으로 분석되었다. 설치간격 10mm 미만의 방폭문은 전단파괴에 취약해지고, 15mm 내외 수준인 경우가 휨성능 발현에 비교적 더 적합한 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구에서는 설치 간격 및 폭압과 같이 기본적인 조건의 변화에 한해서 비교 해석을 하였다. 향후, 부재 재원 및 강도변화, 전단설계 여부 등 다양한 변수에 따른 구조거동 변화에 대해 실험적 및 해석적 연구가 필요하다.

최근 일반적인 콘크리트의 단점인 낮은 인장강도 및 휨강도와 취성파괴를 극복하기 위하여 초고성능 콘크리트에 강섬유를 혼입한 강섬유 보강 초고성능 콘크리트(UHPC)에 대한 연구가 주목받고 있다. 본 논문에서는 UHPC의 장점을 극대화하기 위하여 합성보 구성 시에 강재 거더의 상부 플랜지를 없앤 역T형 거더를 적용하여, 콘크리트 압축강도, 섬유 혼입률, 전단연결재 간격 및 바닥판 두께 등의 변수를 가지는 역T형 거더와 UHPC 바닥판을 합성한 합성보를 16 개 제작하고 전단연결재의 거동, 휨거동 특성 등을 실험적으로 파악하고자 하였다. 실험결과를 기준으로 볼 때, 향후 UHPC의 경우 스터의 간격은 100 mm에서 바닥판 두께의 2 또는 4 배 사이로 규정함이 적절할 것으로 예상된다. 또한 대부분 실험 부재의 특성 상대변위는 Eurocode-4의 기준을 만족하므로 연성 거동을 확보하는 것으로 판정되었으며, 전단연결재 간격이 넓은 부재는 설계식의 값보다 실험값이 크게 나와, 비합성 거동 후 UHPC와 강재로 전단연결재 예상저항하중보다 더 큰 극한강도를 발휘하며, 전단연결재 간격이 좁은 부재는 전단연결재가 스스로의 능력에 도달하기 전에 UHPC 상연에서 압축파괴가 급격히 발생됨을 알 수 있었다.

A large number of available concrete buildings designed only considering gravity load that require seismic rehabilitation because of failure to meet plasticity criteria. Using steel bracings are a common type of seismic rehabilitation. The eccentric bracings with vertical link reduce non-elastic deformation imposed on concrete members as well as elimination of probable buckling problems of bracings. In this study, three concrete frames of 10, 15, and 20 stories designed only for gravity load have been considered for seismic improvement using performance-based plastic design. Afterwards, nonlinear time series analysis was employed to evaluate seismic behavior of the models in two modes including before and after rehabilitation. The results revealed that shear link can yield desirable performance with the least time, cost and number of bracings of concrete frames. Also, it was found that the seismic rehabilitation can reduce maximum relative displacement in the middle stories about 40 to 80 percent. Generally, findings of this study demonstrated that the eccentric bracing with vertical link can be employed as a suitable proxy to achieve better seismic performance for existing high rise concrete frames.

This paper presents investigation into the behavior of beam-column joints, with the joint region concrete being replaced by steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) and by ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC). A total of ten beam-column joint specimens (BCJ) were tested experimentally to failure under monotonic and cyclic loading, with the beam section being subjected to flexural loading and the column to combined flexural and axial loading. The joint region essentially transferred shear and axial stresses as received from the column. Steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) and ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) were used as an innovative construction and/or strengthening scheme for some of the BCJ specimens. The reinforced concrete specimens were reinforced with longitudinal steel rebar, 18 mm, and some specimens were reinforced with an additional two ties in the joint region. The results showed that using SFRC and UHPC as a replacement concrete for the BCJ improved the joint shear strength and the load carrying capacity of the hybrid specimens. The mode of failure was also converted from a non-desirable joint shear failure to a preferred beam flexural failure. The effect of the ties in the SFRC and UHPC joint regions could not be observed due to the beam flexural failure. Several models were used in estimating the joint shear strength for different BCJ specimens. The results showed that the existing models yielded wide-ranging values. A new concept to take into account the influence of column axial load on the shear strength of beam-column joints is also presented, which demonstrates that the recommended values for concrete tensile strength for determination of joint shear strength need to be amended for joints subject to moderate to high axial loads. Furthermore, finite element model (FEM) simulation to predict the behaviour of the hybrid BCJ specimens was also carried out in an ABAQUS environment. The result of the FEM modelling showed good agreement with experimental results.

T-shaped column is usually used as side column in buildings, which is one of the weak members in structural system. This paper presented a quasi-static cyclic loading experiment of six specimens of reinforced concrete (RC) T-shaped columns under compression-flexure-shear-torsion combined loadings to investigate the effect in the ratio of torsion to moment (T/M) and axial compression ratio (n) and height-thickness ratio of flange plate (φ) on their seismic performance. Based on the test results, the failure characteristics, hysteretic curves, ductility, energy dissipation, stiffness degradation and strength degradation were analyzed. The results show that the failure characteristics of RC T-shaped columns mainly depend on the ratio of torsion to moment, which can be divided into bending failure, bending-torsion failure and shear-torsion failure. With the increase of T/M ratio, the torsion ductility coefficient increased, and in a suitable range, the torsion and horizontal displacement ductility coefficient of RC T-shaped columns could be effectively improved with the increase of axial compression ratio and the decrease of height-thickness ratio of flange plate. Besides, the energy dissipation capacity of the specimens mainly depended on the bending and shear energy dissipation capacity. On the other hand, the increase of axial compression ratio and the ratio of torsion to moment could accelerate the torsional and bending stiffness degradation of RC T-shaped columns. Moreover, the degradation coefficient of torsion strength was between 0.80 and 0.98, and that of bending strength was between 0.75 and 1.00.

Advanced nonlinear effective stress constitutive models are started to be frequently used in one-dimensional (1D) and two-dimensional (2D) site response analysis for assessment of porewater generation and liquefaction potential in soft soil deposits. The emphasis of this research is on the assessment of the implementation of this category of models at the element stage. Initially, the performance of a coupled porewater pressure (PWP) and constitutive models were evaluated employing a catalogue of 40 unidirectional cyclic simple shear tests with a variety of relative densities between 35% and 80% and effective vertical stresses between 40 and 80 kPa. The authors evaluated three coupled constitutive models (PDMY02, PM4SAND and PDMY03) using cyclic direct simple shear tests and for decide input parameters used in the model, procedures are recommended. The ability of the coupled model to capture dilation as strength is valuable because the studied models reasonably capture the cyclic performance noted in the experiments and should be utilized to conduct effective stress-based 1D and 2D site response analysis. Sandy soils may become softer and liquefy during earthquakes as a result of pore-water pressure (PWP) development, which may have an impact on seismic design and site response. The tested constitutive models are mathematically coupled with a cyclic strain-based PWP generation model and can capture small-strain stiffness and large-strain shear strength. Results show that there are minor discrepancies between measured and computed excess PWP ratios, indicating that the tested constitutive models provide reasonable estimations of PWP increase during cyclic shear (r_u) and the banana shape is reproduced in a proper way indicating that dilation and shear- strain behavior is well captured by the models.

Buckling Restrained Braced (BRB) frames have been widely used as an efficient seismic load resisting system in recent years mostly due to their symmetric and stable hysteretic behavior and significant energy dissipation capacity. In this study, to provide a better understanding of the behavior of BRB frames with various beam-column connections, a numerical study using non-linear finite element (FE) analysis is conducted. All models are implemented in the Abaqus software package following an explicit formulation. Initially, the results of the FE model are verified with experimental data. Then, diverse beam-column connections are modeled for the sake of comparison from the shear capacity, energy dissipation and frame hysteresis behavior points of view until appropriate performance is assessed. The considered connections are divided into three different categories: (1) simple beam-column connections including connection by web angle and connection by seat angle; (2) semi-rigid connection including connection by web and seat angles; and (3) rigid beam-column connections by upper-lower beam plates and beam connections with web and flange splices. Results of the non-linear FE analyses show that these types of beam-column connections have little effect on the maximum story drift and shear capacity of BRB frames. However, the connection type has a significant effect on the amount of energy dissipation and hysteresis behavior of BRB frames. Also, changes in length and thickness of the angles in simple and semi-rigid connections and changes in length and thickness of plates in rigid connections have slight effects (less than 4%) on the overall frame behavior.

Concrete-filled steel tube (CFT) composite columns, either circular (CCFT) or rectangular (RCFT), have many economical and aesthetic advantages but the behavior of their connections are complicated. This study aims to investigate, through an experimental program, the performance and behavior of different connections configurations between circular concrete filled steel tube columns (CCFT) and gusset plates subjected to shear and axial compression loadings. The study included seventeen connection subassemblies consisting of a fixed length steel tube and gusset plate connected to the tube end with different details tested under half cyclic loading. A notable effect was observed on the behavior of the connections due to its detailing changes with respect to capacity, failure mode, ductility, and stress distribution.

최근 건축과 토목 구조물 기초에 적용되는 말뚝의 시공법은 환경 훼손, 소음 공해, 그리고 주위 민원을 최소화하기 위해 항타공법에서 매입공법 위주로 변화하는 추세를 보이고 있다. 이러한 시공방법의 변화로 인해 기존의 항타공법으로 사용되었던 말뚝 대신, 재료 및 구조적인 시스템 측면에서 보다 최적화되고 경제적인 매입용 말뚝의 개발이 요구되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 매입용 말뚝인 원심성형 철근콘크리트 말뚝의 보강된 이음방법을 제안하였다. 이전의 연구에서는 원심성형 철근콘크리트 말뚝에 대해 연장된 원형띠판과 스터드로 구성된 이음 보강방법이 기존 이음방법의 구조성능을 개선 시킬 수 있을 것으로 검토되었다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 이러한 이음방법의 구조성능을 말뚝의 휨과 전단 강도 실험을 통해 검증하였다. 이 제안된 이음방법은 설계에서 요구되는 휨과 전단 강도에 대해 충분한 성능을 보인 것으로 실험에서 나타났다. 또한, 전반적인 하중-처짐 거동이 이음부가 없는 일체형 구조에 근접하므로 설계에서 예상하는 거동과 성능이 안정적으로 현장 구조물에 반영될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

In the last decades, valuable results have been reported regarding conventional passive, active, semi-active, and hybrid structural control systems on two-dimensional and a few three-dimensional shear buildings. In this research, using a three-dimensional finite element model of high-rise concrete structures, designed by performance based plastic design method, it was attempted to construct a relatively close to reality model of concrete structures equipped with Tuned Mass Damper (TMD) by considering the effect of soil-structure interaction (SSI), torsion effect, hysteresis behavior and cracking effect of concrete. In contrast to previous studies which have focused mainly on linearly designed structures, in this study, using performance-based plastic design (PBPD) design approach, nonlinear behavior of the structures was considered from the beginning of the design stage. Inelastic time history analysis on a detailed model of twenty-story concrete structure was performed under a far-field ground motion record set. The seismic responses of the structure by considering SSI effect are studied by eight main objective functions that are related to the performance of the structure, containing: lateral displacement, acceleration, inter-story drift, plastic energy dissipation, shear force, number of plastic hinges, local plastic energy and rotation of plastic hinges. The tuning problem of TMD based on tuned mass spectra is set by considering five of the eight previously described functions. Results reveal that the structural damage distribution range is retracted and inter-story drift distribution in height of the structure is more uniform. It is strongly suggested to consider the effect of SSI in structural design and analysis.
