This paper presents a simplified grid beam model for simulating the nonlinear response of reinforced concrete flat-plate structures. The beam elements are defined with nonlinear behavior for bending moment and torsion. The flexural stiffness and torsional strength of the beam elements are defined based on experimental data to implicitly account for slab two-way bending effects. A failure criterion that considers the interaction between the punching strength and slab flexural behavior is incorporated in the model. The effects of bond-slip of slab reinforcement on connection stiffness are examined. The proposed grid beam model is validated by simulating large-scale tests of slab-column connections subjected to concentric gravity loading and unbalanced moment. This study also determines the critical parameters for a hysteretic model used to simulate flat-plates subjected to cyclic lateral loading.

A numerical analysis was performed for interior connections of continuous flat plate to analyze the effect of design parameters such as column section shape, gravity load and slab span on the behavioral characteristics of the connections. Through the parametric study, the variations of shear stress distribution around the connection were investigated. According to the result of numerical analysis, as the length of the cross section of column in the direction of lateral load increases and gravity load increases, the effective area and the maximum shear strength providing the torsional resistance decrease considerably. And as the slab span loaded with relatively large gravity load increases, the negative moment around the connection increases and therefore the strength of connection against unbalanced moment decreases.

플랫 플레이트는 매우 경제적인 구조시스템으로서 고층건물과 아파트, 지하 주차장등에 널리 쓰인다. 하지만 기둥-슬래브 접합부가 뚫림전단에 취약하기 때문에 건물의 연쇄붕괴로 이어질 수 있는 단점이 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 뚫림전단강도 증가, 연성능력 향상, 시공성면에서 뛰어난 나선형 철근 전단 보강재가 제안되었으며, 실험을 통해 나선형 철근 전단보강재의 강도를 평가하였다. 현행 기준은 전단보강된 슬래브-기둥 접합부의 뚫림전단강도를 정확하게 예측하지 못하고 있다. 그 이유는 전단보강재가 설치되는 슬래브의 두께가 얇을경우 정착길이가 확보되지 못하여 전단보강재가 항복강도에 이르기 전에 파괴가 일어나기 때문이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 유한요소해석 프로그램 LUSAS ver14.3을 이용하여 나선형 전단보강재의 보강성능에 영향을 미치는 변수를 분석하여 강도보정계수를 도출하였다. 또한 CEB-FIP 데이터뱅크에 수록된 실험체의 회귀분석을 통해 전단보강된 슬래브-기둥 접합부의 뚫림전단강도 산정식을 제안하였다.

In the present study, design methodologies for effective width of slabs in slab-column connections were evaluated in comparison with the experimental results on the full-scale slab-column connections. The design methodologies are as follows: the methodology proposed by Jacob S. Grossman and the methodology proposed by Choi & Song. The former does not predict the stiffness change of the slab-column connection due to the change in the column section shape and the latter overestimates the stiffness when edge length of the column section in the loading direction is long. Accordingly, the equation to calculate the effective width of slabs should be modified to reflect the effect of the change in the column section shape.

The seismic behaviors of steel moment connections with different structural characteristics are investigated. The rupture index, which represents the fracture potential, is adopted to study the effect of concrete slab and the relative strength between the coin the beam, and Panel zone on the ductility of connections. The results show that the presence of slab increases the beam strength, imposes constraint near the beam top flange, and consequently, induces concentrated deformation near the beam access hall, which reduces the ductility of the connection. The total deformation capacity of the connection depends not only on the beam but also on the column and panel zone. Therefore, the detrimental slab effects and the relative strength should be considered in the seismic design of the connection.

A nonlinear semi-three-dimensional layered finite element procedure is developed for cracking and failure analysis of reinforced concrete beams and the spandrel beam-column-slab connections of flat plates. The layered element approach takes the elasto-plastic failure behaviour and geometric nonlinearity into consideration. A strain-hardening plasticity concrete model and a smeared steel model are incorporated into the layered element formulation. Further, shear failure, transverse reinforcement, spandrel beams and columns are successfully modelled. The proposed method incorporating the nonlinear constitutive models for concrete and steel is implemented in a finite element program. Test specimens including a series of reinforced concrete beams and beam-column-slab connections of flat plates are analysed. Results confirm the effectiveness and accuracy of the layered procedure in predicting both flexural and shear cracking up to failure.

Effective beam width models are commonly used to obtain the lateral stiffness of flat plate structures. In these models, an effective beam width is defined as the width when the flexural stiffness of the beam element equals the slab stiffness. In this present study, a method to obtain effective beam widths that considers the effects of connection geometry and slab cracking is analytically proposed. The rectangularity of the vertical member for the connection geometry and the combined effects of creep and shrinkage for the slab cracking are considered. The results from the proposed method are compared with experimental results from a test structure having nine slab-column connections.

The composite reinforced concrete and steel (RCS) structural systems have larger structural lateral stiffness, higher inherent structural damping, and faster construction speed than either traditional reinforcement concrete or steel structures. In this paper, four RCS subassemblies with or without the RC slab designed following a strong column-weak beam philosophy were constructed and tested under reversed-cyclic loading. Parameters including the width of slab and composite effect of the RC slab and beam were explored. The test results showed that all specimens performed in a ductile manner with plastic hinges formed in the beam ends near the column faces. The seismic responses of composite connections are influenced significantly by different width of slabs. Compared with that of the steel beam without the RC slab, it was found that the load carrying capacity of composite connections with the RC slab increased by 30% on average, and strength degradation, energy dissipation also had better performance, while the ductility of that were almost the same. Furthermore, the contribution of connection deformation to the overall specimen displacement was analyzed and compared. It decreased approximately 10% due to the coupling effect in the columns and beams with the RC slab. Based on the test result, some suggestions are presented for the design of composite RCS joints.

A new type of moment-resisting bolted connection was developed for use in composite steel- concrete construction to connect composite open section steel beams to concrete filled steel square tubular columns. The connection was made possible using anchored blind bolts along with two through bolts. It was designed to act compositely with the in-situ reinforced concrete slab to achieve an enhanced stiffness and strength. The developed connection was incorporated in the design of a medium rise (five storey) commercial building which was located in low to medium seismicity regions. The lateral load resisting system for the design building consisted of moment resisting frames in two directions. A major full scale test on a sub-assembly of a perimeter moment-resisting frame of the model building was conducted to study the system behaviour incorporating the proposed connection. The behaviour of the proposed connection and its interaction with the floor slab under cyclic loading representing the earthquake events with return periods of 500 years and 2500 years was investigated. The proposed connection was categorized as semi rigid for unbraced frames based on the classification method presented in Eurocode 3. Furthermore, the proposed connection, composite with the floor slab, successfully provided adequate lateral load resistance for the model building.

무량판 구조의 슬래브-기둥 접합부는 뚫림전단파괴에 취약하여 구조 성능을 향상시킬 필요가 있다. 본 연구에서는 새로운 슬래브-기둥 접합부 전단 보강 방법인 래티스 보강의 강도와 변형 능력을 평가하기 위한 실험 연구를 실시하였다. 주기 횡 하중을 받는 4개의 래티스 보강 접합부에 대한 실험을 실시하였으며, 비교를 위하여 전단 무보강 시험체, 스터드 레일, 전단 밴드, 스터럽 등 다양한 기존의 전단 보강 방법으로 보강된 실험체에 대하여 실험을 실시하였다. 실험 결과, 래티스 보강은 강도와 변형 능력면에서 모두 우수한 성능을 나타내었으며, 현행 기준의 예측 강도를 현저히 상회하는 강도를 나타내어 전단 보강에 매우 효율적인 보강 방법으로 평가되었다. 반면에 스터럽, 스터드 레일과 전단 밴드 실험체는 전단 무보강 실험체에 비하여 강도 증진 효과가 크지 않거나, 그 강도에 미치지 못하는 강도를 나타냈다.
