The purpose of this study is to secure the same or more structural performance and constructability for the detail off hooks cross-constructed at 135° used as external-ties standard detail in reinforced concrete columns, therefore, to the purpose of improving constructability, The clip-type binding implement was suggested. the experiment on the constructability evaluation and cost analysis of the clip-type binding implement by 90° end-hooked transverse reinforcement in reinforced conrete columns was carried out. The results of the analysis confirmed that standard detail column took about an one hour regardless of the diameter of tie. When using the clip-type binding implement, It was reduced to about 50% of the standard detail column. and regardless of the building size, it was most effective for the cost down when using the clip-type binding implement 1ea, it was about 32% fo labor cost reduction effect in comparison with using standard detail. as a result, Using the clip-type binding implement is shown be very effective in the working time and construction cost reduction.

The purpose of this study is to secure the same or more structural performance and constructability for the details of hooks cross-constructed at 135 degrees used as external-ties standard detail in RC columns, therefore, to the purpose of improving constructability, the clip-type binding implement was suggested and A total of 28 pull-out specimens were prepared with the parameters of concrete compressive strength and clip-embeded length, clip installation location to examine the anchorage behavior of the clip-type binding implement. The experiment was carried out. The results of the experiment confirmed that the anchorage strength of the clip-type binding implement was higher than the details of hooks cross-constructed at 135-degree regardless of the diameter of tie and concrete strength, embeded clip length, clip installation. and The 90-degree end hook with clip-type binding implement was showed a similar an anchorage behavior of 135-degree end-hooked transverse reinforcement, consequently, The 90-degree end hooked with clip-type binding implement is evaluated to be the same anchorage behavior and performance as standard 135-degree end hook detail.

Both ends of the hoop reinforcement in the reinforced concrete (RC) columns subjected to lateral loading must necessarily be bent by 135° so as to ensure a sufficient level of ductility. However, as this reinforcement is extremely difficult to construct, this requirement is often not satisfied at construction sites. This study entailed an experimental investigation on RC columns subjected to cyclic lateral loading equipped with steel clip-type implements that were developed to replace the complicated 135° hoop reinforcement details. Four RC column specimens were manufactured, and the main test parameters included the use of high-strength concrete and steel clip-type implements. Furthermore, three-dimensional finite element models were employed to evaluate the structural performances of the test specimens via nonlinear analyses. The results of the test and finite element analyses indicate that the RC columns with the steel clip-type implements exhibit structural performances equal to or better than those with the 135° hoop reinforcement details. Further, the finite element analysis results agree well with the test results.

When a rigid post is exposed to traffic, it is hazardous not only to head-on impacts but also to side impacts. Clip-type slip base is an effective measure to reduce the severity of head-on impacts and side impacts as well because of its multi-directional release mechanism. Side impact tests were conducted and the results were analysed to demonstrate the hazardousness of a rigid post to a side impact and the crash worthiness of a post having clip-type slip base. For that, side impact test standard was made adapting the NCHRP Report 350, and 820kg-50km/h side impact tests were made for posts of D101.6mm(t=4.2mm) with and without slip base. Additionally, 35km/h side impact to the same post with slip base was conducted to check whether the clip-type slip base release mechanism works properly to the low impact speed. The tests revealed that the rigidly connected post was very hazardous to side impact while the post with the clip-type slip base reduced the impact severity tremendously.

In SRC column, the closed hoops are applied with the same detail of both 135° standard hooks to expect the same performance as hoops of RC columns. This standard detail is actually complicated to construct, thus, two separating rebars are connected in the form of a square shape and welded over the overlapping section. But this is also complicated in construction practice. Therefore, this study describes experimental results regarding cyclic behaviors shown with alternative hoops cramped by the steel clip type-binding device instead of welding and standard specimen. As a result of the experiment, the specimens with alternative hoops of the SRC column showed comparable performance to the specimens with closed hoops. Therefore, it can be evaluated that the alternative hoops applied with the rebar confinement clips in the SRC column can replace the closed hoop.
