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.

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.

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.

Two new predictive design methods are presented in this study. The first is a hybrid method, called neuro-fuzzy, based on neural networks with fuzzy learning. A total of 280 experimental datasets obtained from the literature concerning concentric punching shear tests of reinforced concrete slab-column connections without shear reinforcement were used to test the model (194 for experimentation and 86 for validation) and were endorsed by statistical validation criteria. The punching shear strength predicted by the neuro-fuzzy model was compared with those predicted by current models of punching shear, widely used in the design practice, such as ACI 318-08, SIA262 and CBA93. The neuro-fuzzy model showed high predictive accuracy of resistance to punching according to all of the relevant codes. A second, more user-friendly design method is presented based on a predictive linear regression model that supports all the geometric and material parameters involved in predicting punching shear. Despite its simplicity, this formulation showed accuracy equivalent to that of the neuro-fuzzy model.

플랫 플레이트는 실의 배치가 지속적으로 바뀌는 오피스와 같이 유연한 공간의 배치를 위해 그 사용처가 증가하고 있다. 플랫 플레이트 구조를 사용함에 있어서 실무에서의 주요 문제는 슬래브-기둥 접합부에서 발생는 뚫림 전단 파괴에 대한 적절한 보강을 해주는 것이다. 이 연구에서는 플랫 플레이트 구조의 내부 슬래브-기둥 접합부에 대한 실험을 수행하였다. 세 가지의 특수한 전단 보강근이 구조물 전체의 파괴를 유발시킬 수 있는 플랫 플레이트 슬래브-기둥 접합부의 취성적인 뚫림 전단파괴를 방지하기 위해 제안되었다. 총 네 가지의 프랫 플레이트 실험체가 수직 방향의 단조 가력에 의해 수행되었다. 전단 보강근은 뚫림 전단강도를 높여주는 역할과 취성파괴를 방지하는 역할을 해 주었다. 수행된 실험에서 전단보강근이 충분한 정착길이를 확보하지 못하여 전단보강근의 항복 이전에 파괴가 일어났다. 실험 결과를 통한 FE 모델의 검증이 이루어졌으며 검증된 FE 모델을 통해 전단보강근의 부착 성능에 대한 변수 분석이 수행되었다. 주요 변수는 슬래브의 두께, 콘크리트의 압축강도였으며 전단보강근의 성능을 산정할 수 있는 방법을 제시하였다.

The research presented in this paper analytically examines the fire performance of flat plate buildings. The modeling parameters for the mechanical and thermal properties of materials are calibrated from relevant test data to minimize the uncertainties involved in analysis. The calibrated models are then adopted to perform a nonlinear finite element simulation on a flat plate building subjected to fire. The analysis examines the characteristics of slab deflection, in-plane deformation, membrane force, bending moment redistribution, and slab rotational deformation near the supporting columns. The numerical simulation enables the understanding of structural performance of flat plate under elevated temperature and, more importantly, identifies the high risk of punching failure at slab-column connections that may trigger large-scale failure in flat plate structures.

This paper discusses the results and observations from a large-scale fire test conducted on a slim floor system, comprising asymmetric beams, rectangular hollow section beams and a composite floor slab. The structure was subjected to a fire where the fire load (combustible material) was higher that that found in typical office buildings and the ventilation area was artificially controlled during the test. Although the fire behaviour was not realistic it was designed to follow as closely as possible the time-temperature response used in standard fire tests, which are used to assess individual structural members and forms the bases of current fire design methods. The presented test results are limited, due to the malfunction of the instrumentation measuring the atmosphere and member temperatures. The lack of test data hinders the presentation of definitive conclusions. However, the available data, together with observations from the test, provides for the first time a useful insight into the behaviour of the slim floor system in its entirety. Analysis of the test results show that the behaviour of the beam-to-column connections had a significant impact on the overall structural response of the system, particularly when the end-plate of one of the connections fractured, during the fire.

Flat slab systems are vastly used in multi-story buildings because of their savings in story height and construction time, as well as for their flexibility in architectural remodeling. However, they frequently suffer brittle punching-shear failure around columns, especially when subjected to lateral loads. Therefore, seismic codes labeled flat slabs as non-ductile systems. This research goal is investigating some construction alternatives to enhance flat slab ductility and deformability. The alternatives are: adding different types of punching-shear reinforcement, using discreet fibers in concrete mixes, and increasing thickness of slab around columns. The experimental study included preparation and testing of seven half-scale interior slab-column connections up to failure. The first specimen is considered a reference, the second two specimens made of concrete mixes with different volumetric ratios of polymer fibers. Another three specimens reinforced with different types of punching-shear reinforcement, and the last specimen constructed with drop panel of inverted pyramidal shape. It is found that using the inverted pyramid-shape drop panel of specimen, increases the punching-shear capacity, and the initial and the post-cracking stiffnesses. The initial elastic stiffnesses are different for all specimens especially for the slab with closed stirrups where it is experienced the highest initial stiffness compared to the reference slab.

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.
