The top-and-seat angles with double web angles are commonly used in the design of beam-to-column joints in Asian and North American countries. The seismic behavior analysis of these joints with large cross-section size of beam and column (often connected by four or more bolts) is a challenge due to the effects from the relatively larger size of stiffened angles and the composite action from the adjacent concrete slab. This paper presents an experimental investigation on the seismic performance of exterior composite beam-to-column joints with stiffened angles under cyclic loading. Four full-scale composite joints with different configuration (only one specimen contain top angle in concrete slab) were designed and tested. The joint specimens were designed by considering the effects of top angles, longitudinal reinforcement bars and arrangement of bolts. The behavior of the joints was carefully investigated, in terms of the failure modes, slippage, backbone curves, strength degradation, and energy dissipation abilities. It was found that the slippage between top-and-seat angles and beam flange, web angle and beam web led to a notable pinching effect, in addition, the ability of the energy dissipation was significantly reduced. The effect of anchored beams on the behavior of the joints was limited due to premature failure in concrete, the concrete slab that closes to the column flange and upper flange of beam plays an significant role when the joint subjected to the sagging moment. It is demonstrated that the ductility of the joints was significantly improved by the staggered bolts and welded longitudinal reinforcement bars.

In steel-concrete composite beams, to improve the cracking resistance of the concrete slab in the hogging moment region, a new type of connector in the interface, named uplift-restricted and slip-permitted screw-type (URSP-S) connector has been proposed. This paper focuses on the behavior of steel-concrete composite beams with URSP-S connectors. A total of three beam specimens including a simply supported beam with URSP-S connectors and two continuous composite beams with different connectors arrangements were designed and tested. More specifically, one continuous composite beam was equipped with URSP-S connectors in negative moment region and traditional shear studs in other regions. For comparison, the other one was designed with only traditional shear studs. The failure modes, crack evolution process, ultimate capacities, strain responses at different locations as well as the interface slip of the three tested specimens were measured and evaluated in-depth. Based on the experimental study, the research findings indicate that the larger slip deformation is allowed while using URSP-S connectors. Meanwhile, the tensile stress reduces and the cracking resistance of the concrete slab improves accordingly. In addition, the overall stiffness and strength of the composite beam become slightly lower than those of the composite beam using traditional shear studs. Moreover, the arrangement suggestion of URSP-S connectors in the composite beam is discussed in this paper for its practical design and application.

본 연구에서는 반강접 접합부 배치에 따른 구조물 거동특성을 파악하기 위하여 KBC2005 건축구조설계기준으로 비가새 5층 철골 구조물을 설계하여 모든 접합부를 완전 강접합부와 반강접 접합부로 이상화한 경우 그리고 반강접 접합부를 수직배치 및 수평배치한 경우에 대하여 비탄성 시간이력 구조해석을 실시하였다. 철골 보 및 기둥의 모멘트-곡률 관계는 화이버모델을 이용하여 확인하였으며 반강접 접합부의 모멘트-회전각 관계는 3-매개변수 파워모델 그리고 철골 보, 기둥 및 접합부의 이력거동은 3-매개변수 모델을 이용하여 나타내었다. 4개 지진파에 대한 재현주기 2400년 위험수준에 해당하는 최대지반가속도와 5% 층간변위에 대한 푸쉬오버 구조해석의 최대밑면전단력 발생 최대지반가속도에 대하여 시간이력 구조해석을 실시하여 밑면전단력, 지붕층 변위, 층간변위, 접합부 요구연성도, 기둥, 보 및 접합부의 최대휨모멘트 그리고 소성힌지 분포 등을 확인하였다. 반강접 접합부를 수직적으로 외부에 배치할수록 최대밑면전단력과 층간변위는 감소하며, 수평적으로 상부층에 배치할수록 접합부 요구연성도가 감소하였다. 푸쉬오버 구조해석과 시간이력 구조해석에서 최대층간변위 발생 위치가 다르고 크기는 푸쉬오버 구조해석에서 과대평가되었다. 밑면전단력, 층간변위 및 접합부 요구연성도를 위한 가장 바람직한 반강접 접합부 배치는 수직적으로 외부에 배치하는 것이다.

This paper presents a theoretical and experimental study of a non-collocated pair of piezopolymer PVDF sensor and piezoceramic PZT actuator, which are bonded on a cantilever beam, in order to suppress unwanted vibration at the tip of the beam. The PZT actuator patch was bonded near the clamped part and the PVDF sensor, which was triangularly shaped, was bonded on the other part of the beam. This is because the triangular PVDF sensor is known that it can detect the tip velocity of a cantilever beam. Because the arrangement of the sensor and actuator pair is not collocated and overlapped each other, the pair can avoid so called 'the in-plane coupling'. The test beam is made of aluminum with the dimension of $200\times20\times2mm$, and the two PZT5H actuators are both $20\times20\times1mm$ and bonded on the beam out-of-phase, and the PVDF sensor is $178mm\times6mm\times52{\mu}m$. Before control, the sensor-actuator frequency response function is confirmed to have a nice phase response without accumulation in a reasonable frequency range of up to 5000 Hz. Both the DVFB and displacement feedback strategies made the error signal from the tip velocity (or displacement) sensor is transmitted to a power amplifier to operate the PZT actuator (secondary source). Both the control methods attenuate the magnitude of the first two resonances in the error spectrum of about 6-7 dB.

Bolted connections are used commonly in the precast reinforced concrete structures. In such structures, to perform structural analysis, behaviour of connections must be determined. In this study, elastic rotation stiffness of semi-rigid bolted beam connections, applied in industrial precast structures, are determined by finite element methods. The results obtained from numerical solutions are compared with an experimental study carried out for the same connections. Furthermore, stress distributions of the connection zone are determined and a reinforcement scheme is proposed. Thus, a more appropriate reinforcement arrangement for the connection zone is enabled. The connection joint of the prefabricated frame is described as rigid, hinged or elastic, and a static analysis of the frame system is performed for each case. Values of bending moments and displacements obtained from the three solutions are compared and the effects of elastic connection are discussed.

보(Beam)의 횡-비틀림 좌굴(Lateral-Torsional Buckling)에 대한 저항능력을 향상시키기 위해 횡-브레이싱(Lateral Bracing)을 실제 설계에 오랫동안 사용해 왔으나, 횡-브레이싱의 성능에 중요한 인자들은 아직 설계공식에 많이 포함되어 있지 않다. 해석적 모델을 사용하여 아래와 같은 몇개의 인자들에 대한 Parametric Study를 반복하중을 받는 짧은 보에 적용하여 그 영향들을 고찰하고자 한다 : 브레이스의 보 길이 방향의 위치, 브레이스의 보의 절단중심에 대한 높이, 브레이스의 강도와 강성. 일단고정 타단가중 지반(Propped Cantilever)보를 이용하여 Parametric Study를 수행하고, 또한 구조물 전체의 좌굴현상을 잘 포착하기 위해 보와 브레이스에 기하학적 (완전) 비선형의 보 모델을 사용한다. 여기에서 이상화된 브레이스는 보 단면의 횡방향의 이동은 구속하지만 회전은 자유롭게 하도록 한다. 또한 금속의 주기적 소성(Cyclic Plasticity)거동을 보다 잘 나타내기 위해 다축 주기적 소성 모델을 Consistent Return Mapping Algorithm과 결합시켜 적용한다.

적층복합재료, 특히 탄소섬유 복합재료는 금속에 비해 가벼우며 상대적으로 비강도 및 비강성이 뛰어나기 때문에 항공 우주 산업 및 자동차 산업 등과같이 광범위한 분야에서 사용되고 있다. 그러나, 적층 복합재료는 섬유의 배열이 모두 면내방향으로 배열되어있기 때문에 박리가 발생한다는 큰 단점이 있으며, 이는 적층복합재료의 응용분야를 제한한다. 본 연구에서는 먼저 π-빔과 평판이 결합된 형태의 적층복합재료 T-빔을 개발하고, 구조해석 및 기계적 물성평가를 통하여 설계변수를 최적화하였다. 이후 적층복합재료 T-빔의 설계변수를 3D 직조 프리폼에 동일하게 적용하여 T-빔을 개발하였으며, 적층구조에 비하여 향상된 기계적 강도를 달성할 수 있었다. 이러한 연구결과는 강도향상을 필요로 하는 기존의 적층복합재료 구조물에 적용 가능할 것으로 기대된다.

Composite steel plate deep beam (CDB) is proposed as a lateral resisting member, which is constructed by steel plate and reinforced concrete (RC) panel, and it is connected with building frame through high-strength bolts. To investigate the seismic performance of the CDB, tests of two 1/3 scaled specimens with different length-to-height ratio were carried out under cyclic loads. The failure modes, load-carrying capacity, hysteretic behavior, ductility and energy dissipation were obtained and analyzed. In addition, the nonlinear finite element (FE) models of the specimens were established and verified by the test results. Besides, parametric analyses were performed to study the effect of length-to-height ratio, height-to-thickness ratio, material type and arrangement of RC panel. The experimental and numerical results showed that: the CDBs lost their load-carrying capacity because of the large out-of plane deformation and yield of the tension field formed on the steel plate. By increasing the length-to-height ratio of steel plate, the load-carrying capacity, elastic stiffness, ductility and energy dissipation capacity of the specimens were significantly enhanced. The ultimate loading capacity increased with increasing the length-to-height ratio of steel plate and yield strength of steel plate; and such capacity increased with decreasing of height-to-thickness ratio of steel plate and gap. Finally, a unified formula is proposed to calculate their ultimate loading capacity, and fitting formula on such indexes are provided for designation of the CDB.
