Abstract

An unstiffened top and seat angle connection is a type of partially restrained connection that is suitable for low- and medium-rise steel buildings. The plastic moment resisting capacity of such connection is needed in practical design, in addition to the accurate prediction of the initial rotational stiffness. Therefore, most of the studies conducted for the mentioned connections were performed to predict the initial stiffness and the plastic moment resisting capacity with varying geometric properties. The main parameters of such experimental tests were the thickness and high-strength bolt gauge distance of AISC LRFD-type A top and seat angle connections. Based on the test results, the analytical model was also proposed in this study. The applicability of the proposed model was verified by comparing the test results from this study with those of other studies.

무보강 상 하부 ㄱ형강 접합부는 중 저층 강골조의 시공에 적합한 부분강접 접합부의 한 형태이다. 무보강 상 하부 ㄱ형강 접합부의 초기회전강성뿐만 아니라 소성휨모멘트 지지능력은 실제 설계 및 시공에 있어서 매우 중요한 인자로 이에 대한 예측이 반드시 필요하다. 따라서 그동안 진행된 무보강 상 하부 ㄱ형강 접합부에 대한 연구는 초기회전강성 및 소성휨모멘트 지지능력에 영향을 미치는 접합부의 기하학적 형상을 변화시키면서 거동양상을 파악하였다. 이 연구에서는 AISC LRFD Spec.에서 정의한 Type A 형태 접합부의 상부 ㄱ형강의 두께 및 고력볼트 게이지 거리를 변수로 하여 접합부 실험을 수행하여 휨모멘트 지지능력을 파악하였고, 이를 바탕으로 소성휨모멘트 지지능력 예측을 위한 해석모델을 제안하고자 진행하였다. 해석모델 적용의 타당성은 타 연구자가 수행한 접합부 실험결과와 비교 검토함으로써 입증하였다.
