Steel-concrete composite walls have been proposed and developed for applications in various types of structures. The double-skin profiled composite walls, as a natural development of composite flooring, provide structural and architectural merits. However, adequate intermediate fasteners between profiled steel plates and concrete core are required to fully mobilize the composite action and to improve the structural behavior of the wall. In this research, two new types of fasteners (i.e., threaded rods and vertical plates) were proposed and three specimens with different fastener types or fastener arrangements were tested under axial compression. The experimental results were evaluated in terms of failure modes, axial load versus axial displacement response, strength index, ductility index, and load-strain relationship. It was found that specimen with symmetrically arranged thread rods sustained more stable axial strain than that with staggered arranged threaded rods. Meanwhile, vertical plates are more suitable for practical use since they provide stronger confinement to profiled steel plate and effectively prevent the steel plate from early local buckling, which eventually enhance the composite action and increase the axial compressive capacity of the wall. The calculation methods were then proposed and good agreement was observed between the test results and the predicted results.

기존의 해상교량 기둥의 외부보강에 따른 연구들은 현재까지 주로 중앙점 재하에 따른 성능을 평가하였다. 하지만, 장대교량의 기둥은 정확한 중심축을 기준으로 축하중을 받는 경우와 편심으로 인한 큰 모멘트가 동시에 작용하는 경우가 많이 발생한다. 이 연구에서는 해상장대교량의 고강도 철근콘크리트 기둥의 하중재하 위치와 2가지의 보강 재료인 탄소섬유 및 고성능 유리섬유를 각각 보강하여 그 효과를 분석하였다. 실험에 사용된 12개의 기둥 실험체는 모두 같은 크기로 제작 및 실험을 하였다. 그 중 6개 실험체의 횡보강 철끈은 띠철근으로 배근하였으며, 그 외 6개의 실험체는 나선철근으로 매끈하였다. 그리고 각각 3겹의 탄소섬유 및 고성능 유리섬유를 적용하여 감싸기 방법으로 보강하였다. 실험변수는 하중재하 위치에 따른 철근의 보강행태 및 보강재료가 고려되었다. 실험결과, 편심축에 따른 하중재하 기둥부재는 중심축 하중재하에 비해 최대 파괴하중이 감소하였지만 고성능 유리섬유를 보강한 기둥부재는 축하중 및 편심하중에서 탄소섬유를 보강한 경우보다 내력과 연성이 우수하였다.

기존의 많은 연구에서 비구속 콘크리트에 비해 FRP로 구속된 콘크리트는 강도 및 연성의 탁월한 증진 효과가 있는 것으로 보고되고 있다. 그러나, FRP로 구속된 콘크리트에 대한 보강 설계 시 구속 효과에 의한 정확한 평가가 요구된다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 FRP로 구속된 콘크리트의 강도 및 변형률을 예측하고자 하였다. 이를 위해서 102개의 실험체를 제작하여 일축압축실험을 수행하였으며 축하중, 축방향 변형률 및 횡방향 변형률을 측정하였다. 또한, 보다 정확한 극한응력과 변형률 예측식을 개발하기 위하여 기존 연구 결과를 이용하였다. 본 연구에서는 FRP로 구속된 콘크리트의 압축강도 실험을 통해 강도 및 변형률 예측 모델을 제안하였다. 제안된 식은 기존의 설계식에 비해 극한응력과 파괴 변형률을 보다 정확하게 예측하였다. 결과적으로, 본 연구에서 제안된 식은 구속된 콘크리트의 보수 보강을 위한 응력-변형률 모델에 효과적으로 적용될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

스트럿-타이 모델 방법을 이용한 콘크리트 구조부재의 설계 시 가장 중요한 요소 중 하나는 콘크리트 스트럿의 유효강도를 정확하게 결정하는 것이다. 콘크리트 스트럿의 유효강도를 결정하기 위한 많은 연구가 진행되어 왔으며, 여러 종류의 스트럿의 유효강도 값 및 산정식이 제안되었다. 그러나 이들은 2차원 콘크리트 구조부재의 스트럿-타이 모델 설계를 위한 것으로, 그 값을 3차원 콘크리트 구조부재의 설계에 적용하는 것은 적절하지 않다. 이 연구에서는 콘크리트 스트럿이 위치한 곳의 3축 응력 상태, 콘크리트의 3차원 파괴기준, 스트럿 길이의 영향, 스트럿과 압축 주응력 흐름과의 불일치의 영향, 콘크리트 압축강도의 영향, 그리고 철근에 의한 콘크리트 스트럿의 구속의 정도 등을 고려하여 3차원 콘크리트 스트럿의 유효강도를 일관성 있게 결정할 수 있는 방법을 제안하였다. 제안한 방법의 타당성을 검증하기 위해 기존 연구자들에 의해 파괴실험이 수행된 115개의 철근콘크리트 파일캡 시험체의 극한강도를 평가하였으며, 그 결과를 실험결과 및 현행 설계기준에서 제안한 스트럿의 유효강도 값을 이용하여 평가한 결과와 비교분석하였다.

Composite columns made of high strength materials have been used in high-rise construction owing to its excellent structural performance resulting in smaller cross-sectional sizes. However, due to the limited understanding of its structural response, current design codes do not allow the use of high strength materials beyond a certain strength limit. This paper reports additional test data, analytical and numerical studies leading to a new design method to predict the ultimate resistance of composite columns made of high strength steel and high strength concrete. Based on previous study on high strength concrete filled steel tubular members and ongoing work on high strength concrete encased steel columns, this paper provides new findings and presents the feasibility of using high strength steel and high strength concrete for general double symmetric composite columns. A nonlinear finite element model has been developed to capture the composite beam-column behavior. The Eurocode 4 approach of designing composite columns is examined by comparing the test data with results obtained from code's predictions and finite element analysis, from which the validities of the concrete confinement effect and plastic design method are discussed. Eurocode 4 method is found to overestimate the resistance of concrete encased composite columns when ultra-high strength steel is used. Finally, a strain compatibility method is proposed as a modification of existing Eurocode 4 method to give reasonable prediction of the ultimate strength of concrete encased beam-columns with steel strength up to 900 MPa and concrete strength up to 100 MPa.

The present study experimentally and analytically investigated the push-out behaviour of H-shaped steel section embedded in ultrahigh-performance fibre-reinforced concrete (UHPFRC). The effect of significant parameters such as the concrete types, fibre content, embedded steel length, transverse reinforcement ratio and concrete cover on the bond stress, development of bond stress along the embedded length and failure mechanism has been reported. The test results show that the bond slip behaviour of steel-UHPFRC is different from the bond slip behaviour of steel-normal concrete and steel-high strength concrete. The bond-slip curves of steel-normal concrete and steel-high strength concrete exhibit brittle behaviour, and the bond strength decreases rapidly after reaching the peak load, with a residual bond strength of approximately one-half of the peak bond strength. The bond-slip curves of steel-UHPFRC show an obvious ductility, which exhibits a unique displacement pseudoplastic effect. The residual bond strength can still reach from 80% to 90% of the peak bond strength. Compared to steel-normal concrete, the transverse confinement of stirrups has a limited effect on the bond strength in the steel-UHPFRC substrate, but a higher stirrup ratio can improve cracking resistance. The experimental campaign quantifies the local bond stress development and finds that the strain distribution in steel follows an exponential rule along the steel embedded length. Based on the theory of mean bond and local bond stress, the present study proposes empirical approaches to predict the ultimate and residual bond resistance with satisfactory precision. The research findings serve to explain the interface bond mechanism between UHPFRC and steel, which is significant for the design of steel-UHPFRC composite structures and verify the feasibility of eliminating longitudinal rebars and stirrups by using UHPFRC in composite columns.

A concrete filled steel tube (CFT) column with stiffeners has preferable behavior subjected to axial loading condition due to delay local buckling of the steel wall than traditional CFT columns without stiffeners. Welding lines in welded built-up steel box columns is expected to behave as longitudinal stiffeners. This study has presented a numerical investigation into the behavior of built-up concrete filled steel tube columns under axial pressure. At first stage, a finite element model (FE) has been built to simulate the behavior of built-up CFT columns. Comparing the results of FE and test has shown that numerical model passes the desired conditions and could accurately predict the axial performance of CFT column. Also, by the raise of steel tube thickness, the load bearing capacity of columns has been increased due to higher confinement effect. Also, the raise of concrete strength with greater cross section is led to a higher load bearing capacity compared to the steel tube thickness increment. In CFT columns with greater cross section, concrete strength has a higher influence on load bearing capacity which is noticeable in columns with more welding lines.

Self-compacting Concrete Filled steel Tubes (SCFT), which combines the advantages of steel and concrete materials, can be applied to strengthen the RC columns. In order to investigate the eccentric loading behavior of the strengthened columns, this paper presents an experimental and numerical investigation on them. The experimental results showed that the use of SCFT is interesting since the ductility and the bearing capacity of the RC columns are greatly improved. And the performance of strengthened columns is significantly affected by four parameters: column section type (circular and square), wall thickness of the steel tube, designed strength grade of strengthening concrete and initial eccentricity. In the numerical program, a generic fiber element model which takes in account the effect of confinement is developed to predict the behavior of the strengthened columns subjected to eccentric loading. After the fiber element analysis was verified against experimental results, a simple design formula based on the model is proposed to calculate the ultimate eccentric strength. Calibration of the calculated results against the test results shows that the design formula closely estimates the ultimate capacities of the eccentrically compressed strengthened columns by 5%.
