Precast concrete structures are erected from individual prefabricated components, which are assembled on-site using different types of connections. In the present design of these structures, beam-to-column connections are assumed pin jointed. Bolted billet beam to-column connections have been used in the precast concrete industry for many years. They have many advantages over other jointing methods in component production, quality control, transportation and assembly. However, there is currently limited information concerning their detailed structural behaviour under vertical loadings. The experimental work has involved the determination of moment-relative rotation relationships for semi-rigid precast concrete connections in full-scale connection tests. The study reported in this paper was undertaken to clarify the behaviour of such connections under symmetrical vertical loadings. A series of full-scale tests was performed on sample column for which the column geometry and bolt arrangements conformed to successful commercial practice. Proprietary hollow core floor slabs were tied to the beams by 2T25 tensile reinforcing bars, which also provide the in-plane continuity across the connections. The contribution of the floor strength and stiffness to the flexural capacity of the joint is currently neglected in the design process for precast concrete frames. The flexural strength of the connections in the double-sided tests was at least 0.93 times the predicted moment of resistance of the composite beam and slab. The secant stiffness of the connections ranged from 0.94 to 1.94 times the flexural stiffness of the attached beam. In general, the double-sided connections were found to be more suited to a semi-rigid design approach than the single sided ones. The behaviour of double sided bolted billet connection test results are presented in this paper. The behaviour of single sided bolted billet connection test results is the subject of another paper.

The main objective of this research is to examine the behavior of high-strength concrete(HSC) columns. Eight test columns in one-third scale were tested under the conditions of cyclic lateral force and a constant axial load equal to 30% of the column axial load capacity. The $200{\times}200mm$ square columns were reinforced with eight DB bars constituting a longitudinal steel ratio of 2.54% of the column cross-sectional area. The main experimental parameters were volumetric ratio of transverse reinforcement(${\rho}_s$=1.58, 2.25 percent), tie configuration(Type H, Type C, Type D) and tie yield strength($f_{yh}$=548.8 and 779.1 MPa). It was found that the hysteretic behaviour and ultimate deformability of HSC columns were influenced by the amount and details of transverse reinforcement in the potential plastic hinge regions. Columns of transverse reinforcement in the amount 42 percent higher than that required by seismic provisions of ACI 318-02 showed ductile behavior. At 30% of the axial load capacity, it is recommended that the yield strength of transverse reinforcement be held equal to or below 548.8 MPa. Correlations between the calculated damage index and the damage progress are proposed.

Main objective of this research is to evaluate performance of high-strength concrete (HSC) columns for ductility and strength. Eight one-third scale columns with compressive strength of 69 MPa were subjected to a constant axial load corresponding to 30 % of the column axial load capacity and a cyclic horizontal load-inducing reversed bending moment. The variables studied in this research are the volumetric ratio of transverse reinforcement (${\rho}_s=1.58$, 2.25 %), tie configuration (Type H, Type C and Type D) and tie yield strength ($f_{yh}=549$ and 779 MPa). Test results show that the flexural strength of every column exceeds the calculated flexural capacity based on the equivalent concrete stress block used in the current design code. Columns with 42 % higher amounts of transverse reinforcement than that required by seismic provisions of ACI 318-02 showed ductile behaviour, showing a displacement ductility factor (${\mu}_{{\Delta}u}$) of 3.69 to 4.85, and a curvature ductility factor (${\mu}_{{\varphi}u}$) of over 10.0. With an axial load of 30 % of the axial load capacity, it is recommended that the yield strength of transverse reinforcement be held equal to or below 549 MPa.

This paper is on experimental study on the behavior of reinforced concrete columns subjected to longitudinal steel ratio To investigate the effects of concrete strength and longitedinal steel ratio on the behavior of reinforced concrete columns. a series of tests were carried out for thirty-six tied reinforced concrete columns with a 100mm square cross section and three slendemess ratio of 15, 30 and 50. And To study and illustrate the change of the ultimate loads and that of displacements, two different concrete strength of 180,26kfg/$\textrm{cm}^2$, 819,36kfg/$\textrm{cm}^2$ and five different longitudinal steel ratio of 0.5, 1.0, 4.0, 5.7 and 10.3% were used. The boundary conditions at the ends were both hinged and the end eccentricities (17mm) were equal and of the same sign. While the ultimate load capacity of high-strength concrete column was much increased when the columns were short, that was not when the columns were slender. The effect of longitudinal steel ratio on the increased of ultimate load of column was more evident for slender columns than for short ones and the ultimate of longitudinal steel ratio were more pronounced with increasing concrete strength. The more inserted the longitudinal steel, the more increased the ultimate load, but the superabundance of longitudinal steel ratio over the limitation of maximum steel ratio in ACI code was used, it was showed that the ultimate load was rather decreased.

With increasing use of high-strength concrete tied columns in structural engineering, it becomes necessary to examine the applicability of related sections of the current design codes. This experimental study was conducted to investigate the behavior of eccentrically loaded high-strength concrete columns. Column specimens with concrete strength 234, 437, 703kgf/㎠ were tested under monotonically increasing eccentric compression. The test parameters included the longitudinal reinforcement ratio, eccentric distance and concrete compressive strength. The analytical results obtained from the stress-strain relationship and the ACI's equivalent rectangular stress block are compared with experimental test results.

본 연구에서는 기둥의 축력비 및 횡보강근의 형상을 주요 변수로 현행 규준(ACI Code)의 횡보강근량 산정식이 고축력과 반복횡력을 받는 압축강도 100MPa의 초고강도 RC 기둥의 설계에도 적용가능한지 여부를 실험적 연구를 통하여 평가하였다. 실제 구조물의 보를 이상화한 스터브를 가진 1/2개 층의 기둥을 휨 파괴를 유도하기 위하여 형상비(L/d)를 4로 하여 실제 구조물의 1/3 Scale로 하였고, 실험구간은 접합면으로부터 기둥 깊이의 2.5배(750mm)로 하였으며, 총 8개의 실험체를 제작하였다. 실험 결과 실험체의 파괴양상은 축력비가 증가함에 따라 스터브 접합면에서 좀 더 떨어진 위치에서 파괴구간이 넓게 확산되지 못하고 파괴가 집중되었으며, 횡보강근의 체적비가 증가할수록 휨 균열이 다수 발생하였고 파괴구간도 접합면에 더 가까이 발생하였다. 또한, 축하중의 증가는 기둥의 변형능력을 30%, 누적소산 에너지량을 40% 감소시키고 강도와 강성의 감소를 가속화시켰으며, 연성비를 비교하면 D Type에서는 43%, E Type은 30% 감소한 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 횡보강근의 형상이 원형에 가까운 D Type이 심부 콘크리트 구속효과가 가장 좋은 것으로 나타났는데, 동일한 조건일 때 변형능력 및 연성비가 가장 높고 횡보강근의 체적비 증가에 따른 연성비의 증진효과도 가장 뛰어남을 알 수 있었다. 따라서, 고축력 및 횡보강근 형상 등을 고려하지 않고 있는 현재의 횡보강근량 산정 규준식은 100MPa의 초고강도 콘크리트 기둥 설계에 적용하기 위해서는 횡보강근의 상세(형상, 체적비) 및 축력효과등이 적절히 반영되어야 할 것으로 판단된다.

본 논문은 고강도 콘크리트기둥에 대한 설계방법을 검증하는 연구의 일부로서, 보통강도 및 고강도 콘크리트기둥시편에 대하여 편심하중의 재하실험을 수행하여 파괴거동을 관찰하고 기둥강도를 측정하였다. 기둥시편은 모두 32개로 콘크리트 압축강도, 종방향 철근비, 세장비, 재하편심을 실험의 주요변수로 선정하였다. 콘크리트 압축강도는 356~951 kg/$cm^$ 이며, 종방향철근비는 1.13~5.51 %, 세장비는 19, 40, 61의 3 종류로 하였다. ACI의 직사각형 응력블럭, Ibrahim과 MacGregor의 수정된 직사각형 응력블럭, 사다리꼴 응력 블럭을 이용한 기둥강도해석과 축력-모멘트-곡률해석을 통한 기둥강도해석을 수행하였으며, 실험결과와 비교분석하였다. 현시방서에서 적용하고 있는 직사각형 응력블럭은 철근비가 낮은 고강도 콘크리트기둥에 대하여 비안전측의 축력-모멘트강도를 제공한다. 축력-모멘트-곡률해석을 통한 기둥강도해석시에는 콘크리트 응력-변형률곡선의 최대응력을 결정하는 $k_3$ 값에 따라 정확성 및 안전성이 좌우된다. 또한, 본 논문에서는 재하실험을 통한 기둥의 파괴거동, 압축연단 극한변형률, 응력블럭변수 등을 비교분석하였다.

The purpose of the paper is to introduce a system that reduces the occurrence of weak-story in the event of earthquake. Weak-story concentrates deformation on the story and causes all member to collapse before the capacity of all member is reached. This paper introduces Strong-Back system (SB) to protect weak story. SB is a hybrid of zipper frame, tied eccentrically braced frame, and elastic truss system and it is divided into elastic and inelastic areas. Elastic areas prevent the generation of weak story by distributing energy, and inelastic areas dissipate energy through buckling or yielding. In this paper, the seismic performance is evaluated by comparing the four type braced frame with SB through push-over analysis. The four criteria are compared from the base shear, the ductility capacity, the column failure order, and the quantity of brace. As a result, SB proved to have sufficient performance to protect the weak-story.

When stress is beyond elastic limit or cracks occur in a reinforced concrete member subjected to axial force and biaxial bending, curvature about each principal axis of uncracked section is influenced by axial force and bending moments about both major and minor principal axes. It is mainly due to the translation and rotation of principal axes of the cross section after cracking. Recently, by considering these effects, a numerical method predicting the behavior of concrete columns subjected to axial force and biaxial bending was proposed. In this study, in order to verify the proposed numerical method and investigate the effects of cracking on the behavior of reinforced concrete columns, a series of tests were carried out for 16 tied reinforced concrete columns with 100×100 mm square and 200×100 mm rectangular sections under various loading conditions. The angle between the direction of eccentricity and the major principal axis of uncracked section were 0, 30, 40° for the square section and 0, 30, 45, 60, 90° for the rectangular section, respectively. A comparison between numerical predictions and test results shows good agreements in ultimate loads, axial force-lateral deflection relations, and lateral deflection trajectories. It is also found, in this limited investigation, that the ACI's moment magnifier method is conservative in both uniaxial and biaxial loading conditions.
