Res system, with Reinforced Concrete columns and Steel beams, is defined as system in which both steel and concrete materials are efficiently combined to maximize the structural and economic advantages of each material. Tested in this study were 4 exterior beam-to-column joint specimens with variables that influence joint rigidity of RCS structure. The purpose of this study is to compare and analyze the structural behavior of exterior joints through the existing studies and tests, and offer basic data for practical use of RCS structure by studying flexible behavior(semi-rigid effect) of joints according to joint details.

The actual behavior of joint is traditionally disregarded in steel frame design. In fact, the structural analysis of steel frames is generally carried out by assuming that joints fulfil the ideal condition of either a hinge or a fixed-end restraints. In this way, calculations are made somewhat simpler, but the structural model is not able to reflect the actual structural response. Therefore, steel frame classification system for estimation or analysis about behavior of steel frame should be established, and range that each connections belongs should be divided definitely. This research presents realistic and practical moment-rotation relation through investigation and analysis of steel frame beam-to-column classification system.

Employing classical beam theory for the design of RBS seismic steel moment connections was brought into question in this study, Both the experimental strain data and analytical results from the calibrated finite element analysis confirmed that the shear transfer mechanism in the RBS connection is completely different from that as predicted by classical beam theory Plausible explanations of a higher incidence of brittle fractures observed in the specimens with bolted-webs were presented. It was pointed out that the practice of providing web bolts uniformly along the beam depth is not consistent with the load path identified by both experimental and analytical results. More rational bolted-web details were proposed based on the identified principal load path,.

In this paper, deformation capacity of steel moment connections with RHS column was investigated. Initially, non-linear finite element analysis of five bate steel beam models was conducted. The models were designed to have different detail at their beam-to-column connection, so that the flexural moment capacity was different respectively. Analysis results showed 4hat the moment transfer efficiency of the analytical model with RHS-column was poor when comparing to model with WF(Wide flnage)-column due to out-of-plane deformation of the RHS-column flange. The presence of scallop and thin plate of RHS column was also a reason of the decrease of moment transfer efficiency, which would result in a potential fracture of tile steel beam-to-column connections. Further test on beam-to-column connections with RHS column revealed that the moment transfer efficiency of a beam web decreased due to the out-of-plane deformation of column flange, which led to premature failure of the connection.

Effects of panel zone (PZ) strength on cyclic seismic performance of the RBS connections was studied based on the validated finite element analysis. High-profile cyclic correlation of finite element model with the full-scale test results based on the material and geometric nonlinear post-buckling analysis was among the most significant consideration in this study. Numerical response results as affected by the panel zone strength reproduced the experimentally observed results quite reasonably. The finite element modeling capability of this study can be used to supplement or to replace in part the costly full-scale connection testing.

Hysteretic steel damper has been applied mainly to steel buildings. However, the usage in RC buildings is rapidly increasing recently. In order to apply the steel hysteretic damper in RC buildings, supporting elements of the damper should have sufficient strength and stiffness suitable for transferring damper forces to beams and walls. But due to the inevitable damage in reinforced concrete elements due to cracking, identification of the load transfer mechanism from damper to supporting element and hysteretic characteristics of the supporting element are extremely important in evaluating the damper behavior. Experiments were carried out on connection details between RC walls and supporting elements of the steel plate typed damper such as EaSy damper. The test results showed that fracture patterns of all specimens were almost identical except in the crack number and pattern associated with shear loading condition. Among the specimens, HD-3 shoed a well distributed cracks patterns along with good performance with respect to energy dissipation capacity, stiffness deterioration, and strength degradation.

In this study, a monotonic loading test to estimate structural capacity of 12 meter long full scale precast pre-stressed concrete beam specimen was performed with a 2,000 kN dynamic actuator. A couple of embedded steel plate was installed at the ends of the beam and specimens were connected to steel girder frame with high tension bolts. Nominal compressive strength of pre-stressed concrete beam and slab were 50 MPa and 24 MPa respectively. Two HD25 tensile steel reinforcements were welded on vertical plate of embedded steel plate. Pre-stressed concrete beam specimen was loaded by displacement control method with a certain loading pattern which was repeated loading and unloading with 10mm increment displacement. About 88.34%, 86.97% and 66.83% of displacement restoration ratios were evaluated at elastic, inelastic and plastic behavior region of specimen respectively.

In this study of Eccentric Braced Frames have identified the following target eccentricity on the length of the inelastic behavior of the reaction by calculating the correction factor by comparing it to the value suggested by the earthquake provided material for the rational design aims to There are. As a variable-length V-braced frame analysis model stations were set up.

When steel fabricators erect structural members in field, temporary tightening of fastener should be useful. However, if bolt holes are not aligned by production error or natural condition, additional effort andpain should be provided to align bolt holes. It lead to longer period than times of construction (a primarily day of construction) and more cost than originally cost. This problem will be overcomed by oversize or slotted holes. Early, AISC and Eurocode have included provision for design process such oversize or slotted holes. But, domestic design method is not refered about oversize and slotted holes. Meanwhile, domestic design method and construction environment are variance with Europe and the United States of America. Therefore, a suitable design method for oversize and slotted holes in domestic real condition is needed. In this study, we evaluated behavior of the joints and decided the friction coefficient on oversize and slotted holes of friction joints with high strength bolts.

H-shaped beams, which are constructed between columns, are used widely as slaves in steel structures. The bending moments that occur on both ends of an H-shaped beam, however, are about twice the bending moment that occurs at the center of the H-shaped beam. Because such beam is designed with maximum bending moment, it is deeper and has smaller spaces. To improve these features, if both ends of an H-shaped beam that have maximum bending moments are merely reinforced, the beams could be designed by the bending moment at the center of the H-shaped beam. To analyze the structural performance of the proposed end-reinforced beams (eco-girders). Four specimens were prepared with the following parameters: end-reinforced steel plate, reinforced bars, and reinforced studs and experimental tests of the specimens were performed.
