Two modulus, strain modulus $(E_v)$ and subgrade reaction modulus $(K_{30})$ are being used as a standard for bearing stiffness in Korea Railroad design. The first is used in Europe and the other is used in Japan. The methodologies to obtain the two modulus are similar in using plate. But testing methods are different in loading to plate. Therefore, according to soil strain range, there should be large gap in not only computations of deformation modulus but also the necessary time to test. At first, this paper focuses on the two kinds of test methods to evaluate bearing stiffness. Secondly, based on elastic theory, the theory to obtain the two coefficients are studied thoroughly. Finally, the correlations between the two coefficients were analyzed and evaluated based on the field test results more than 38 places. The matching values for subgrade and ground between $K_{30}$ and $E_{v2}$ are proposed with the consideration of the proposed strain reduction factor (1.5 for subgrade and 3 for ground) and safety factor, respectively.

Ten beams bonded with glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) laminates were tested under cyclic loading with the load range and the FRP reinforcement ratio as test parameters. The maximum load level during cyclic loading was 55%, 65% and 75% of the static flexural strength while the minimum load level was kept constant at 35%. Deflections of the beams at the end of 525000 cycles were found to increase by 16% and 44% when the maximum load level was increased from 55% to 65% and 75% of the static flexural strength, respectively. Beams with FRP reinforcement ratios of 0.64% and 1.28% were found to exhibit lesser deflections of about 15% and 20%, respectively, compared to a similar beam without FRP reinforcement. An analytical approach based on cycle-dependent effective moduli of elasticity of concrete and FRP reinforcement is presented and found to predict the deflections of the test beams well.

Brick veneer over steel stud backup wall is lighter and easier to construct compared to brick veneer over concrete masonry backup wall. However, due to the relatively low stiffness of the steel stud backup, the brick veneer tends to crack under wind load. This paper briefly introduces a new panelized brick veneer with steel frame backup wall system that is developed to potentially address this problem. The experimental study of the performance of this system under simulated wind loading is discussed in detail. The test setup details and the test specimens are introduced, results of major interests are presented, and performance of the new system is evaluated based on the test results.

In this thesis, a series of loading tests are conducted in order to investigate the fracture safety of GFRP(Glass Fiber Reinforced Plastics) pipes under fatigue load which are widely used in the developed countries becauses of their natural of anticorrosion and lightweight etc. . Fatigue test is performed by changing number of laminates and loading cycles to examine the flexural strains, the ductility and the fatigue strength for two million repeated loading cycles. From the fatigue test results, it was found that the larger the laminates of GFRP pipes is, the larger the stiffness of GFRP pipes under the fatigue load increases. This phenomenon is true until the fatigue failure. According to the S-N curve drawn by the regression analysis on the fatigue test results, the fatigue strength of percent of the static ultimate strength increases by increasing the laminates of GFRP pipes. The fatigue strength with two million repeated leading cycles in GFRP pipes with the laminates of GFRP pipes varing 15, 25, 35 shows about 75%, 80%, 84% on the static ultimate strength, respectively.

Due to structural characteristics, construction costs and duration of a modular system would be saved by minimizing the schedule on the job site. As such, it is crucial to develop a connection that can guarantee stiffness while allowing for simple assembling. Particularly, the mid- to high-rise construction of the modular system necessitates the securing of the structural stability and seismic performance of multi-unit frames and connections, and thus, the stiffness of unit-assembled structures needs to be re-evaluated and designed. However, evaluating a frame consisting of slender members and reinforcing materials is a complicated process. Therefore, the present study aims to examine the structural characteristics of a modular unit connection based a method for reinforcing connection brackets and hinges while minimizing the loss of the cross section. Toward this end, the study modeled the beam-to-column connection of a modular system with the proposed connection, and produced a specimen which was used to perform a cycling loading test. The study compared the initial stiffness, the attributes of the hysteretic behavior, and the maximum flexural moment, and observed whether the model acquired the seismic performance, compared to the flexural strength of the steel moment frame connection that is required by the Korean Building Code. The test results showed that the proposed connection produced a similar initial stiffness value to that of the theoretical equation, and its maximum strength exceeded the theoretical strength. Furthermore, the model with a larger ceiling bracket showed higher seismic performance, which was further increased by the reinforcement of the plate.

The objective of this study is to investigate the actual behavior of studs in structures under earthquake load through laboratory tests and numerical simulation. A test program including eighteen specimens was devised with consideration of different concrete strengths and stud diameters. Six of specimens were subjected to monotonically increasing loading while the others were subjected to cyclic loading. Mechanical behavior including the failure mechanism, load-slip relationship, stiffness degradation, energy dissipation and the damage accumulation was obtained from the test results. An accurate numerical model based on the ABAQUS software was developed and validated against the test results. The results obtained from the finite element (FE) model matched well with the experimental results. Furthermore, based on the experimental and numerical data, the design formulas for expressing the skeleton curve were proposed and the simplified hysteretic model of load versus displacement was then established. It is demonstrated that the proposed formulas and simplified hysteretic model have a good match with the test results.

본 연구에서는 소규모 철골조에 대한 기존 건축물의 접합부 현황조사와 분석을 통해 노출형 주각부에 대한 내진성능을 평가하였다. 총 9개의 주각부에 대한 반복가력 실험을 통해 휨강도, 변형능력, 그리고 초기강성 등이 조사되었다. 실험의 주요 변수는 베이스 플레이트의 두께, 앵커볼트의 개수와 매립깊이, 앵커볼트 후크의 유무, 그리고 리브 플레이트의 유무이다. 본 실험결과에 의하면, 주각부의 휨거동은 앵커볼트의 개수와 매립깊이, 그리고 베이스 플레이트의 두께에 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다. 반면에, 주각부에 설치된 리브플레이트는 휨강도에 큰 영향을 주지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 종합적으로 노출형 철골 주각부와 기초부 그리고 앵커볼트 등이 모두 현행 구조기준을 만족한다고 할지라도, 앵커볼트와 기초부 콘크리트 사이의 부착력이 충분하지 않을 경우, 슬립형 거동이 관측되어 개선이 필요한 것으로 파악되었다. 앵커볼트의 매립깊이가 현행 구조기준을 만족하고, 앵커볼트에 후크가 설치된 경우, 노출형 주각부의 초기강성은 주각부가 구속되었을 때의 휨강성 하한값의 약 15% 수준인 것으로 나타났다.

In order to study the failure mode and seismic behavior of the interior-joint in steel traditional-style buildings, a single beam-column joint and a double beam-column joint were produced according to the relevant building criterion of ancient architectural buildings and the engineering instances, and the dynamic horizontal loading test was conducted by controlling the displacement of the column top and the peak acceleration of the actuator. The failure process of the specimens was observed, the bearing capacity, ductility, energy dissipation capacity, strength and stiffness degradation of the specimens were analyzed by the load-displacement hysteresis curve and backbone curve. The results show that the beam end plastic hinge area deformed obviously during the loading process, and tearing fracture of the base metal at top and bottom flange of beam occurred. The hysteresis curves of the specimens are both spindle-shaped and plump. The ultimate loads of the single beam-column joint and double beam-column joint are 48.65 kN and 70.60 kN respectively, and the equivalent viscous damping coefficients are more than 0.2 when destroyed, which shows the two specimens have great energy dissipation capacity. In addition, the stiffness, bearing capacity and energy dissipation capacity of the double beam-column joint are significantly better than that of the single beam-column joint. The ductility coefficients of the single beam-column joint and double beam-column joint are 1.81 and 1.92, respectively. The cracks grow fast when subjected to dynamic loading, and the strength and stiffness degradation is also degenerated quickly.
