This paper presents an experimental investigation into the progressive collapse behavior of composite steel-concrete frames under various column removal scenarios. This study involves testing two two-bay, two-story composite frames featuring CFST columns and profiled steel decking composite slabs. Two removal scenarios, involving the corner column and middle column, are examined. The paper reports on the overall and local failure modes, vertical force-deformation responses, and strain development observed during testing. Findings indicate that structural failure initiates due to fracture and local buckling of the steel beam. Moreover, the collapse resistance and ductility of the middle column removal scenario surpass those of the corner column removal scenario. Subsequent numerical analysis reveals the significant contribution of the composite slab to collapse resistance and capacity. Additionally, it is found that horizontal boundary conditions notably influence the collapse resistance in the middle column removal scenario only. Finally, the paper proposes a simplified calculation method for collapse resistance, which yields satisfactory predictions.

In the study, three 1:3-scale unequal span steel-concrete composite substructures with top-seat angle and double web angle connection were designed and identified as specimens GTSDWA-0.6, GTSDWA-1.0, and GTSDWA-1.4. Pseudo-static tests and refined numerical model analysis were conducted to examine the anti-progressive collapse performance of a semi-rigid steel-concrete composite substructure. The results indicated that the failure modes of the three specimens revealed that the fracture occurred in the root of the long leg of the top/seat angle in tension at the connection. With increases in the span ratio of the left and right composite beams, the bearing capacities of the composite substructures decreased, and the corresponding displacement increased. With respect to GTSDWA-0.6 and GTSDWA-1.4, the resistance due to the short composite beam corresponded to 62% and 60%, respectively, and the total resistance provided by the short composite beam exceeded that of the long composite beam. With respect to GTSDWA-1.0, the resistance due to the left and right composite beams was similar. All three specimens underwent the flexure mechanism and flexure-axial mixed mechanism stages. They resisted the external load mainly via the flexure mechanism. Moreover, the addition of stiffeners on both sides of the top and seat angles is advantageous in terms of improving the collapse resistance and ductility of unequal span composite substructures.

This paper aims to explore the mechanical behavior and moment-rotation model of blind bolted joints between concrete-filled double skin steel tubular columns and steel-concrete composite beams. For this type of joint, the inner tube and sandwiched concrete were additionally identified as basic components compared with CFST blind bolted joint. A modified moment-rotation model for this type of connection was developed, of which the compatibility condition and mechanical equilibrium were employed to determine the internal forces of basic components and neutral axis. Following this, load transfer mechanism among the inner tube, sandwiched concrete and outer tube was discussed to assert the action area of the components. Subsequently, assembly processes of basic coefficients in terms of their stiffness and resistances based on the component method by simplifying them as assemblages of springs in series or in parallel. Finally, an experimental investigation on four substructure joints with CFDST columns for validation purposes was carried out to capture the connection details. The predicted results derived from the mechanical models coincided well with the experimental results. It is demonstrated that the proposed mechanical model is capable of evaluating the complete moment-rotation relationships of blind bolted CFDST column composite connections.

라멘교는 모든 부재의 접합부가 강절점으로 구성되어 있는 잘 알려진 교량으로, 교량받침이 불필요하고, 유지관리가 용이하며, 상부구조의 단면을 감소시킬 수 있고, 기타 구조형식에 비해 상대적으로 건설비가 적다는 점 등 많은 장점을 가지고 있기 때문에 다양한 현장에서 시공되고 있다. 또한 최근 경간을 증가시키기 위해 강합성 부재를 상부구조로 사용한 강합성 라멘교의 적용 사례가 증가하고 있다. 그러나 강합성 라멘교는 교량의 경간이 증가하여 부재력이 증가하고, 그에 따라 하부구조가 비경제적으로 설계, 시공되고 있다. 이 연구에서는 교대벽체와 기초 사이에 힌지구조를 적용하여 기초의 모멘트를 감소시킨 신형식 강합성 라멘교를 제안하고, 구조적 성능 및 힌지구조의 성능을 검증하기 위한 실험적 연구를 수행하였다.

When the vertical load-bearing members in high-rise structures fail locally, the beam-column joints play an important role in the redistribution of the internal forces. In this paper, a static laboratory test of three full-scale flush flange beam-reinforced connections with side and cover plates (CP-FBSP connection) with double half-span steel beams and single L-shaped columns composed of concrete-filled steel tubes (L-CFST columns) was conducted. The influence of the side plate width and cover plate thickness on the progressive collapse resistance of the substructure was thoroughly analyzed. The failure mode, vertical force-displacement curves, strain variation, reaction force of the pin support and development of internal force in the section with the assumed plastic hinge were discussed. Then, through the verified finite element model, the corresponding analyses of the thickness and length of the side plates, the connecting length between the steel beam flange and cover plate, and the vertical-force eccentricity were carried out. The results show that the failure of all the specimens occurred through the cracking of the beam flange or the cover plate, and the beam chord rotations measured by the test were all greater than 0.085 rad. Increasing the length, thickness and width of the side plates slightly reduced the progressive collapse resistance of the substructures. The vertical-force eccentricity along the beam length reduced the progressive collapse resistance of the substructure. An increase in the connecting length between the beam flange and cover plate can significantly improve the progressive collapse resistance of substructures.

최근 지진의 발생빈도가 과거에 비해서 증가하면서 교량 구조물에도 내진성능에 대한 연구가 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 그 중 교량 하부 구조물의 경우에는 횡방향 하중에 저항하기 위하여 소성힌지 부분에 심부 구속 횡철근을 배근하여 횡방향 구속 효과를 증대시키고 있다. 이것은 심부 구속 횡철근 배근을 통하여 교각에 필요한 강성 및 연성을 확보하여 내진성능을 향상시키고자 하는 것이다. 현재 심부구속 횡방향 철근량 산정에 대한 설계 기준은 국내의 도로교 설계 기준과 국외의 대다수 설계 기준이 동일한 설계 기준을 사용하고 있고, 이는 중실 철근 콘크리트 기둥을 대상으로 제안되어 있다. 이 식을 내부 구속 중공 RC 기둥에 그대로 적용하기에는 그 구성 요소가 상이하고 거동 특성이 다르기 때문에 무리가 따른다. 본 연구에서는 내부 구속 중공 RC 기둥에 현행 기준을 적용하였을 때의 해석적 방법에 의한 변위 연성도 분석을 통하여 특성을 분석하고 경제성 있고 합리적인 설계가 될 수 있도록 수정식을 제안하였다.
