Abstract

A new steel connection method using wedges known as Self-Locking Connector has been developed. In this study, experimental investigation was conducted to verify the seismic performance of steel beam-to-column joints with Self-Locking Connectors. Cyclic-loading tests were performed on two beam-to-column joints with Self-Locking Connectors. The two beam-to-column joint specimens were of the cantilever-type and had the same details. Test results showed that beam-to-column joints with Self-Locking Connectors were able to developa total rotation capacity of 0.06 radian, which is greater than the 0.04 radian required for Special Moment Frames. Moreover, their energy absorption capacity was much greater than that of conventional joints.

강재의 접합형식으로 쐐기의 원리를 이용한 새로운 접합장치인 쐐기형 접합장치(wedge connectors)가 개발되었다. 본 연구에서는 새로운 접합장치를 적용한 철골 보-기둥 접합부의 내진성능에 대한 실험연구를 수행하였다. 새로운 접합장치를 적용한 2개의 보-기둥 접합부 시험체에 대해 반복하중 실험을 수행하였다. 2개의 시험체는 켄티레버형이며 동일한 상세를 갖도록 제작되었다. 반복하중 실험의 결과 2개의 시험체 모두 특수모멘트골조에 대해 요구되는 총회전각인 0.04 라디안보다 큰 0.06라디안의 총회전각을 발휘할 수 있었으며 기존의 보-기둥 접합형식에 비해 에너지 소산능력이 크게 우수한 것으로 나타났다.
