For a stability design of steel frames, AISC-LRFD specification recommend to use Alignment Chart and story-based methods in order to determine an effective budding length. Recently, elastic buckling analysis, which is the method that calculate the effective length of members using eigenvalue of the overall structure, has been widely used in practical design of steel frames because this method can be performed effectively and automatically by computers. However, it can in some cases lead to unexpectedly large effective length in column having small axial forces. Therefore, this paper propose a method using elastic buckling analysis, which estimate a proper effective buckling length for all members having a small axial force. For verification of proposed method, it is compared with system based approach and stiffness distribution factor method. As a result, proposed method can rationally solve a problem in some case of column having small axial force. Also, adoption range for proposed method is established.

최근 들어 90도 표준갈고리의 대안으로 정착판을 지니는 헤드 철근(headed bar)에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있다. 헤드 철근의 정착내력은, 정착판의 지압력과 위험단면에서 헤드까지 정착길이의 부착력으로 발현된다. 실제 구조물에서는 정착되는 부재의 재료 및 기하학적 물성에 의해 다양한 파괴가 발생된다. 따라서 헤드 철근의 정착내력은 단순히 지압력과 부착력의 합으로 산정될 수 없으며, 발생 가능한 모든 파괴양상을 고려한 최소 내력으로 결정되어야 한다. 헤드 철근의 정착내력을 산정하기 위한 기본적인 해석모델로, CCT 절점에 정착된 헤드 철근의 트러스 모델을 제안하였다. 제안된 트러스 모델의 파괴는 부착파괴와 콘크리트의 압축파괴로 구분되며, 재료 및 기하학적 물성에 의해 파괴 양상이 결정된다. 이러한 트러스 모델은 외부 보-기둥 접합부와 같이 보다 복잡한 부위에 정착된 헤드철근의 정착 기구를 설명하는데 활용될 수 있다.

ACI318-89 Recommened that when the specified compressive strength of concrete in a column is greater than 1.4 times that specified for a floor system, top surface of the column concrete shall extend 2ft (600mm) into the slab from the face of column to avoid unexpected brittle failure. The major variables are extension distance, compressive strength of concrete (f'c), shear confinement ratio(Vs), and loading types. The test results showed that the load capacity of the specimen subjected to monotonic loading had more than that of the specimen subjected to one way cyclic loadings. The failure models of specimens under cyclic loading were concentrated at 5∼20cm apart region from beam-column joint face. Ducility index(μf) are increased with increasing of shear confinement ratio. The specimen with 2ft extension distance shows more ductility than specimen with lft extension distance.

A method for the determination of effective length factors of the framed columns with sinusoidally tapered sections is proposed. In the study, the stability analysis of the single story-two equal bay, frame with tapered columns is performed first by finite element method. The changes of the critical load coefficients of frames are reprersented by algebraic equations of the analysis parameters. The effective length factor formula is expressed in terms of proposed algebraic equation. The effective length factors for the prismatic columns (α=0.0) estimated by the proposed method coincide fairly well with those determined by the analytical method.

Purpose: This study is aimed to assess changes of stress distribution dependent on different connection lengths and placement of the fixture top relative to the ridge crest. Materials and methods: The internal-conical connection implant which has a hexagonal anti-rotation index was used for FEM analysis on stress distribution in accordance with connection length of fixture-abutment. Different connection lengths of 2.5 mm, 3.5 mm, and 4.5 mm were designed respectively with the top of the fixture flush with residual ridge crest level, or 2 mm above. Therefore, a total of 6 models were made for the FEM analysis. The load was 170 N and 30-degree tilted. Results: In all cases, the maximum von Mises stress was located adjacent to the top portion of the fixture and ridge crest in the bone. The longer the connection length was, the lower the maximum von Mises stress was in the fixture, abutment, screw and bone. The reduction rate of the maximum von Mises stress depending on increased connection length was greater in the case of the fixture top at 2 mm above the ridge crest versus flush with the ridge crest. Conclusion: It was found that the longer the connection length, the lower the maximum von Mises stress appears. Furthermore, it will help prevent mechanical or biological complications of implants.

Fire-resistant (FR) test data for a square concrete-filled steel tube (CFT) columns consisting of high-strength steel (fy>650MPa) and high strength concrete (fck>100MPa) under axial loads are insufficient. The FR behavior of square high-strength CFT members was investigated experimentally for two specimens having ${\Box}-400{\times}400{\times}15{\times}3,000mm$ with two axial load cases (5,000kN and 2,500kN). The results show that the FR performance of the high-strength CFT was rapidly decreased at earlier time (much earlier at high axial load) than expected due to high strength concrete spalling and cracks. In addition, a fiber element analysis (FEA) model was proposed and used to simulate the fiber behaviour of the columns. For steel and concrete, the mechanical and thermal properties recommended in EN 1994-1-2 are adopted. Test results were compared to those of numerical analyses considering a combination of temperature and axial compression. The numerical model can reasonably predict the time-axial deformation relationship.

Experimental studies were carried out to investigate the interactions between the propagating flame fronts and different multiple obstacles within an explosion chamber. The explosion chamber is 600 mm in height, $700{\times}700mm^2$ in cross-section and has a H/L value of 0.86. Three different multiple obstacles with the blockage ratio of 0.43 were replaced within the chamber. The results showed that relatively higher local flame displacement speed was observed with the triangular obstacle while the lower was observed with the circular one. It was found that the local flame displacement speeds behind the obstacle were largely dependent on the obstacle types. It was also found that as the flame interacted with the flow field generated behind the obstacle, the probability density functions(PDFs) of the local flame displacement speed were extensively distributed toward higher speeds.

In this study, inelastic buckling strength of HSA800 steel columns were tested to investigate the applicability of current column curve (KBC2009, 2010 AISC-LRFD) to HSA800 steel. Key test variables included width-thickness ratio, plate-edge restraints, and column slenderness ratio. Specimens made of ordinary steel (SM490) were also tested for comparison purposes. All the concentrically loaded HSA800 specimens exhibited sufficient buckling strength compared to the current column curve, but some of SM490 specimens showed understrength. This difference can be explained by the lower residual stress present in HSA800 specimens.

In structural health monitoring, the safety of structural members are assessed by the level of stress measured by various strain sensors based on different sensing mechanisms. Since most existing strain sensors used for health monitoring system can cover a relatively small range of structural members, it is very difficult to measure the maximum value of the member subjected to varying amount and types of loads with those point sensors. The reliability of assessed safety of a member may be improved by increasing the number of sensors. It may not be also realistic to increase the number of sensors to overcome these drawbacks. In this paper, a stress measuring method for beam-column members is developed by estimating the maximum stress based on the average strains obtained from long gauge sensor. The average strain from long gage fiber optic sensor is transformed into the maximum strain by multiplication of the modification factor derived in this research.

Exterior plate-column connection has an unsymmetrical critical section for eccentric shear of which perimeter is less than that of interior connection, and hence, around the connection, unbalanced moment and eccentric shear are developed by both gravity load and lateral loads. Therefore, exterior connection is susceptible to punching shear failure. Current design provision cannot accurately explain strength of existing experiments, partly due to the complexity in the behavior of exterior plate-column connection, or partly due to the theoretical deficiency of the strength analysis model adopted. In the present study, nonlinear finite element analyses were performed for exterior connections belonging to continuous flat plate. For each direction of lateral load, the behavior and strength of exterior plate-column connection were quite different. Based on the numerical result, strength prediction model for exterior connection was proposed for each direction of lateral load. Compared with existing experiments, the proposed method was verified.
