Abstract

Failure modes result in fracture or tearing, which may cause deterioration of resistance and reduction of inelastic deformation capacity. The potential failure modes for Special Concentrically Braced Frames (SCBFs) include fracture or tearing of the brace, net section fracture of the brace or gusset plate, fracture of the gusset plate welds, shear fracture of the bolts, block shear, excessive bolt bearing deformation, and buckling of the gusset plate. HSS tubular braces are commonly used in SCBFs, and net section fracture of the tubular brace may also occur through the brace net section at the end of the slot cut into the tube to slip over the gusset plate. This failure mode is categorized as a tension failure mode, and may cause dramatic loss of resistance and brittle behavior. Net section reinforcement is required according to AISC design specifications (AISC 2001). In this paper, the need to reinforce the net section area was discussed. Initially, the results of the net section fracture tests done by the University of California in Berkeley were presented with the modeling of these tests using FE models. To investigate the possibility of net section fracture in an actual frame, the slot end hole model was adapted to the frame FE model, and alternate near-fault histories were applied with tension-dominated cycles, since previous analyses showed that loading history was the most critical factor in net section fracture. The need for this reinforcement (cover plate) and the tension-dominated near-fault history were investigated.

파괴모드는 저항력과 비탄성 변형 능력의 저하를 일으키는 균열이나 파단으로 귀결된다. 특수중심가새골조의 잠재적 파괴모드는 가새의 균열이나 파단, 가새나 거싯 플레이트의 순단면 파단, 거싯 플레이트용접의 균열, 볼트의 전단균열, 블록전단파단, 그리고 거싯 플레이트의 좌굴 등을 포함하고 있다. HSS 튜브가새는 특수중심가새골조에 자주 사용되고, 가새의 순단면 파단은 거싯 플레이트가 가새로 삽입되는 홈의 끝부분에 가새의 순단면을 통해 발생한다. 이 파괴모드는 인장파괴모드로 분류되고 급격한 강도저하와 취성적인 거동을 보인다. AISC 디자인 규준에선 순단면 보강을 요구하고 있다 (AISC 2001). 이 논문에서, 순단면 보강의 필요성에 대해 논의한다. 먼저, 미국 버클리대학교에서 수행됐던 순단면 파단실험을 유한요소모델을 이용한 이 실험의 모델링을 통해 소개한다. 실제 골조에서의 순단면 파단의 가능성을 조사하기 위해, 홈이 있는 중심가새골조를 유한요소법을 이용 모델링 하고, 인장지배의 근거리지진 이력을 적용시킨다. 이는 이력이 순단면 파단의 가장 중요한 인자라는 이전 해석 결과에서 기인한 것이다. 순단면 보강의 필요성과 인장지배의 근거리지진 이력의 영향에 대해 조사한다.
