Built-up Double-I (BD-I) columns consist of two hot rolled IPE sections and two cover plates which are welded by fillet welds. In Iran, this type of column is commonly used in braced frames with simple connections and sometimes in low-rise Moment Resisting Frames (MRF) with Welded Flange Plate (WFP) beam-column detailing. To evaluate the seismic performance of WFP connection of I-beam to BD-I column, traditional and modified exterior MRF connections were tested subjected to cyclic prescribed loading of AISC. Test results indicate that the traditional connection does not achieve the intended behavior while the modified connection can moderately meet the requirements of MRF connection. The numerical models of the connections were developed in ABAQUS finite element software and validated with the test results. For this purpose, moment-rotation curves and failure modes of the tested connections were compared with the simulation results. Moreover to avoid improper failure modes, some improvements of the connections were evaluated through a numerical study.

Built-up Double-I (BD-I) columns have been commonly used for mid-rise steel-frame structures in Iran. These columns consist of two hot rolled IPE sections which are connected by two cover plates and fillet welds. Until 2017, BD-I columns were employed in intermediate moment resisting frames (MRF) using welded flange plate (WFP) connections. To evaluate the seismic behavior of the connections, four samples were made and tested based on cyclic loading according to AISC 341-16. It was concluded that typical samples cannot satisfy the seismic provisions related to intermediate MRFs. In contrast, the proposed connections retrofitted with two-part external diaphragms were able to satisfy not only the seismic requirements related to intermediate MRFs but also those related to special MRFs according to AISC. The numerical modeling of these samples was performed using ABAQUS finite element software. This study compared the hysteresis moment-rotation curves, plastic strains, and behavior modes in both experimental samples and numerical models.

WUF-W 접합부는 부재의 접합이 모두 용접으로 이루어진 접합부이며, 특수모멘트골조(SMF) 인증접합부 중 하나이다. 하지만 선행 연구들을 통해 일부 WUF-W 접합부 실험체가 4% 층간변위비의 특수모멘트골조(SMF) 요구성능을 만족하지 못하였으며, 이는 액세스 홀 형상과 연관이 있음이 보고되었다. 본 연구에서는 비선형 유한요소 해석을 이용하여 WUF-W 접합부의 요구성능을 만족하기 위한 주요 액세스홀 형상변수의 허용범위를 결정하였다. 또한 WUF-W 접합부 설계과정에서 주요 액세스 홀 형상변수의 타당성을 평가할 수 있는 간단한 경험식을 제안하였다.

본 연구의 목적은 모멘트 접합 골조에서 각형강관 기둥-H 형강 보 접합부의 내진성능평가이다. 각형강관은 H형강에 비해서 효율적이고 많은 장점이 있음에도 불구하고, 아직 접합 디테일의 부족과 경험 부족 등의 이유로 현장에서 적용이 제한적이다. 각형강관을 사용한 기존의 모멘트 접합부는 주로 관통형 다이아프램 형식을 사용하고 있는데 이는 시공과정이 복잡하여 현장에서의 적용을 어렵게 한다. 그러므로 이 연구에서는 각형강관 기둥을 절단하지 않는 접합상세에 대하여 구조성능 및 내진성능을 평가하고자 하였다. 엔드플레이트와 헌치를 이용한 용접접합의 접합상세에 대하여 내력 및 강성, 에너지흡수능력을 비교분석하였다.

최근 건축구조물의 구조는 다양한 형태의 복잡한 건축물이 구현되고 있다. 이러한 건축구조물의 복합 다양성은 수평저항력에 효과적 으로 저항하기 위해 강재와 접합부의 요구성능이 점차 중요시되고 있다. 접합부는 형상의 불연속과 응력집중 및 다축응력 등이 발생되는 부분으로 골조전체의 변형능력에 큰 영향을 미치고 강성과 인성을 결정하는 중요부위이다. 본 연구에서는 고강도 고성능강 적용에 대한 인성평가를 위해 구조체의 기둥-보 접합부를 빌트업 H형강의 T형 기둥-보 용접접합부로 제작하여 실대실험을 수행하였다. 실험변수는 응력집중 및 형상의 불연속이 발생되는 보 스캘럽을 중심으로 논스캘럽(Non-Scallop)과 종래형 스캘럽, 개량형 스캘럽으로 제작하여 스캘럽 형상이 접합부의 인성에 미치는 영향과 고강도 고성능강의 건축구조물 적용성을 평가하였다. 기존의 기둥-보 용접접합부에 대한 평가방법을 기초로 최근 개발된 고강도 고성능강의 초고층 건축물 적용을 위한 내진설계 자료를 제시하였다.

A shaking table test was conducted at the E-Defense shaking table facility to investigate the damage and collapse behavior of a steel high-rise building under exceedingly large ground motions. The specimen is a one-third scale 18-story steel moment frame designed and constructed according to design specifications and practices used in the 1980s and 1990s. The shaking table tests used a long-duration, long-period ground motion simulated for a sequential Tokai, Nankai, and Nankai earthquake scenario. The building specimen was subjected to a series of progressively increasing scaled motions until it completely collapsed. The damage to the steel frame began through the yielding of beams along lower stories and column bases of the first story. After several excitations by increasing scaled motions, cracks initiated at the welded moment connections and fractures in the beam flanges spread to the lower stories. As the shear strength of each story decreased, the drifts of lower stories increased and the frame finally collapsed and settled on the supporting frame. From the test, a typical progression of collapse for a tall steel moment frame was obtained, and the hysteretic behavior of steel structural members including deterioration due to local buckling and fracture were observed. The results provide important information for further understanding and an accurate numerical simulation of collapse behavior.

본 논문은 유닛 모듈러를 구성하는 주구조체인 각형강관 기둥과 냉간성형 LEB C-형강 보로 볼트 접합된 접합부의 거동을 실험적으로 평가하는 것이 연구의 목적이다. 접합부에서 기둥과 LEB C-형강 보를 접합하기 위한 브라켓의 두께변화, LEB C-형강 보와 브라켓 접합부 볼트 개수 등의 주요변수에 대한 실험을 통하여 기둥-보 접합부의 내력증대와 변형성상 및 파괴모드 변화 등을 고찰하였다. 실험결과, 접합부의 보강형상과 관계없이 또한 접합부의 파괴 없이 LEB C-형강 보의 국부좌굴강도가 지배하는 것으로 파악되었으며, 브라켓 두께 크기에 따라 내력과 강성이 조금 높게 나타남을 알 수 있었다. 또한 접합부에 사용된 볼트 수량에 관계없이 강성면에서 큰 차이를 나타내지 않았으며 LEB C-형강과 브라켓을 볼트접합으로 반강접합의 역학적 거동 가능성을 확인하였다.

This study describes the development of innovative connections between steel beams and concrete-filled tube columns that utilize a combination of low-carbon steel and super-elastic shape memory alloy components. The intent is to combine the recentering behavior provided by the shape memory alloys to reduce building damage and residual drift after a major earthquake with the excellent energy dissipation of the low-carbon steel. The analysis and design of structures requires that simple yet accurate models for the connection behavior be developed. The development of a simplified 2D spring connection model for cyclic loads from advanced 3D FE monotonic studies is described. The implementation of those models into non-linear frame analyses indicates hat the recentering systems will provide substantial benefits for smaller earthquakes and superior performance to all-welded moment frames for large earthquakes.

Numerous failures in welded connections in steel moment-resisting building frames (SMRF) were observed when buildings were inspected after the 1994 Northridge Earthquake. These observations raised concerns about the effectiveness of such frames for resisting strong earthquake ground motions. The behavior of SMRFs during an earthquake must be assessed using nonlinear dynamic analysis, and such assessments must permit the deterioration in connection strength to capture the behavior of the frame. The uncertainties that underlie both structural and dynamic loading also need to be included in the analysis process. This paper describes the analysis of one of approximately 200 SMRFs that suffered damage to its welded beam-to-column connections from the Northridge Earthquake is evaluated. Nonlinear static and dynamic analysis of this SMRF in the time domain is performed using ground motions representing the Northridge Earthquake. Subsequently, a detailed uncertainty analysis is conducted for the building using an ensemble of earthquake ground motions. Probability distributions for deformation-related limit states, described in terms of maximum roof displacement or interstory drift, are constructed. Building fragilities that are useful for condition assessment of damaged building structures and for performance-based design are developed from these distributions.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the cyclic behavior of steel column-tree moment connections used in steel moment resisting frames. These connections are composed of shop-welded stub beam-to-column connection and field bolted beam-to-beam splice. In this study, the effects of beam splice length on the seismic performance of column-tree connections were experimentally investigated. The change of the beam splice location alters the bending moment and shear force at the splice, and this may affect the seismic performance of column-tree connections. Three full-scale test specimens of column-tree connections with the splice lengths of 900 mm, 1,100 mm, and 1,300 mm were fabricated and tested. The splice lengths were roughly 1/6, 1/7, 1/8 of the beam span length of 7,500 mm, respectively. The test results showed that all the specimens successfully developed ductile behavior without brittle fracture until 5% radians story drift angle. The maximum moment resisting capacity of the specimens showed little differences. The specimen with the splice length of 1,300 mm showed better bolt slip resistance than the other specimens due to the smallest bending moment at the beam splice.
