This study performed lateral load testing on seventeen wood wall frames in two sections. Section one included eight tests studying structural foam sheathing of shear walls subjected to monotonic loads following the ASTM E564 test method. In this section, the wood frame was sheathed with four different types of structural foam sheathing on one side and gypsum wallboard (GWB) on the opposite side of the wall frame, with Simpson HDQ8 hold down anchors at the terminal studs. Section two included nine tests studying wall constructed with oriented strand board (OSB) only on one side of the wall frame subjected to gradually applied monotonic loads. Three of the OSB walls were tied to the baseplate with Simpson LSTA 9 tie on each stud. From the test results for Section one; the monotonic tests showed an 11 to 27 percent reduction in capacity from the published design values and for Section two; doubling baseplates, reducing anchor bolt spacing, using bearing plate washers and LSTA 9 ties effectively improved the OSB wall capacity. In comparison of sections one and two, it is expected the walls with structural foam sheathing without hold downs and GWB have a lower wall capacity as hold down and GWB improved the capacity.

Steel plate-concrete composite slabs provide attractive features, such as more effective loading transfer, and more cost-effective stay-in-place forms, thereby enabling engineers to design more high-performance light structures. Although significant studies in the literatures have been directed toward designing and implementing the steel plate-concrete composite beams, there are limited data available for understanding of the composite slabs. To fill this gap, nine the composite slabs with different variables in this study were tested to unveil the impacts of the critical factors on the ultimate strength behavior. The key information of the findings included sample failure modes, crack pattern, and ultimate strength behavior of the composite slabs under either four-point or three-point loading. Test results showed that the failure modes varied from delamination to shear failures under different design factors. Particularly, the shear stud spacing and thicknesses of the concrete slabs significantly affected their ultimate load-carrying capacities. Moreover, an analytical model of the composite slabs was derived for determining their ultimate load-carrying capacity and was well verified by the experimental data. Further extensive parametric study using the proposed analytical methods was conducted for a more comprehensive investigation of those critical factors in their performance. These findings are expected to help engineers to better understand the structural behavior of the steel plate-concrete composite slabs and to ensure reliability of design and performance throughout their service life.

80 MPa급 고강도 콘크리트가 강거더의 압축 플랜지로 대체하는 아중합성 거더의 경우, 플랜지와 케이싱 및 케이싱과 바닥판 2개의 접합부 계면이 형성되는데 각 계면의 수평 전단 저항능력은 구조물의 안전성에 있어 중요한 요소이다. 본 연구는 계면 상세를 달리한 6개의 실험체를 도로교설계기준(한계상태설계법)에 따라 설계 및 제작하여 이중합성 보의 휨 파괴 대비 수평 전단에 대한 구조 성능 실험을 수행하였다. 실험체의 주요변수로 스터드 전단연결재의 저항계수, 바닥판 콘크리트 및 철근의 재료저항계수, 콘크리트 인장강도에 따른 부착계수, 케이싱 콘크리트의 표면 상태 그리고 수평전단철근의 간격을 고려하였다. 실험 결과, 강재 상부 플랜지와 고강도 케이싱의 계면이 고강도 케이싱과 바닥판 계면 보다 결합성이 큰 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 고강도 케이싱과 바닥판 계면에서는 케이싱 표면에 요철 또는 거칠기를 주는 것 보다 보수적으로 수평전단철근을 배근하는 것이 소성영역까지 합성 거동을 유지하는 것으로 나타났다.
