강관의 내부에 콘크리트를 충전한 구조인 콘크리트 충전 강관 구조(Concrete Filled Steel Tubular Structure, CFT 구조)는 강재와 콘크리트의 단점을 상호 보완하고 장점을 극대화 할 수 있다는 이점이 있다. 이와 같은 CFT 거더의 장점을 살리면서 CFT 거더보다 더 뛰어난 경제적, 구조적 효율성을 얻기 위해 기존의 CFT 구조에 아치 형식과 프리스트레스를 도입한 신형식 거더인 CFTA(Concrete-Filled and Tied Tubular Arch) 거더에 대한 연구가 현재 진행 중이다. CFTA 거더의 가장 큰 특징은 아치형상과 외부로 노출되어 있는 텐던인데 현재 연구과정에서 지적되고 있는 문제점 중의 하나는 외부로 노출된 텐던의 안전성에 관한 문제이다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 외부로 노출되어 있는 텐던에 대한 안전성 평가를 수행하였다. 또한, collision numerical simulation을 사용하여 동적 충돌에 대한 해석도 수행하였다. 모델의 해석을 위해 유한요소 해석 결과의 신뢰성이 높고, 타 연구에서도 많이 사용되고 있는 ABAQUS 6.5-1을 이용하였다.

콘크리트 기둥에 사용되는 횡방향 철근은 압축콘크리트 파괴 시 횡방향 벌어짐을 구속하여 폭렬을 줄일 수 있고 콘크리트의 연성을 증가시키는 데에 유효하며 강도손실 보상효과가 있다. 이를 규명하기 위하여, 띠철근의 간격과 나선철근을 변수로 한 실험체를 제작하여 가열실험을 수행하였다. 이 때 전기로 온도를 $300^{\circ}C$, $600^{\circ}C$ 및 $800^{\circ}C$로 설정하여 $13.33^{\circ}C$/분의 속도로 가열하고 2시간동안 그 온도를 유지시켰다. 냉각된 실험체에 대해 응력-변형률 곡선을 구하기 위한 압축실험을 수행하고, 이로부터 탄성계수, 잔존 내력 및 변형률 등의 잔존 역학적 특성을 분석하였다. 실험결과 횡방향 철근비가 높을수록 철근이 콘크리트를 구속하여 다축 응력 상태가 되기 때문에 고온을 받은 콘크리트의 잔존 최대응력이 커지고 더욱 큰 변형을 발휘할 수 있는 있는 것을 확인하였다. 이울러, 콘크리트의 잔존 탄성계수의 감소율은 횡방향 철근의 구속효과로 작아지는 것으로 분석되었다.

Spiral spacing effect on axial compressive behavior of reinforced concrete filled steel tube (RCFST) stub column is experimentally investigated in this paper. A total of twenty specimens including sixteen square RCFST columns and four benchmarked conventional square concrete filled steel tube (CFST) columns are fabricated and tested. Test variables include spiral spacing (spiral ratio) and concrete strength. The failure modes, load versus displacement curves, compressive rigidity, axial compressive strength, and ductility of the specimens are obtained and analyzed. Especially, the effect of spiral spacing on axial compressive strength and ductility is investigated and discussed in detail. Test results show that heavily arranged spirals considerably increase the ultimate compressive strength but lightly arranged spirals have no obvious effect on the ultimate strength. In practical design, the effect of spirals on RCFST column strength should be considered only when spirals are heavily arranged. Spiral spacing has a considerable effect on increasing the post-peak ductility of RCFST columns. Decreasing of the spiral spacing considerably increases the post-peak ductility of the RCFSTs. When the concrete strength increases, ultimate strength increases but the ductility decreases, due to the brittleness of the higher strength concrete. Arranging spirals, even with a rather small amount of spirals, is an economical and easy solution for improving the ductility of RCFST columns with high-strength concrete. Ultimate compressive strengths of the columns are calculated according to the codes EC4 (2004), GB 50936 (2014), AIJ (2008), and ACI 318 (2014). The ultimate strength of RCFST stub columns can be most precisely evaluated using standard GB 50936 (2014) considering the effect of spiral confinement on core concrete.

이 연구의 목적은 생산공정에서 발생할 수 있는 제작오차를 고려한 BIM 절차를 구축하고, 스플라이스 슬리브 공법으로 접합된 프리캐스트 전경량 골재콘크리트 특수전단벽(precast all-lightweight aggregate concrete special shear walls, PLASW)의 휨 연성 모델을 제시하는 데에 있다. 생산현장에서 제작된 PALSW의 콘크리트 피복 두께는 Revit BIM 프로그램으로 모델링된 단면상세보다 평균 1.28배 컸으며, 특히, 후프철근과 내부 크로스타이의 구부림 내면 반지름은 설계 단면상세보다 더 크게 있었다. 결과적으로 띠철근의 제작오차로 인해 코어 콘크리트의 구속비율이 64%에서 54%로 감소하였으며, PALSW의 휨 연성은 약 4.91% 감소하였다. 이 실험결과를 고려하여, 스플라이스 슬리브 공법으로 접합된 PLASW의 BIM 모델링은 띠철근의 구부림 내면 반지름을 보완해야 하며, 구속된 콘크리트의 응력-변형률 관계에서 구속압의 감소를 반영하여 취성도 증가계수는 1.8로 평가될 수 있다.

Triple-tower double-cable suspension bridges have increased confinement stiffness imposed by the main cable on the middle tower, which has bright application prospects. However, vertical bending and torsional vibrations of the double-cable and the girder are coupled in such bridges due to the hangers. In particular, the bending vibration of the towers in the longitudinal direction and torsional vibrations about the vertical axis influence the vertical bending and torsional vibrations of the stiffening girders, respectively. The conventional analytical algorithm for assessing the dynamic features of the suspension bridge is not directly applicable to this type of bridge. This study attempts to mitigate this problem by introducing an analytical algorithm for solving the triple-tower double-cable suspension bridge's natural frequencies and mode shapes. D'Alembert's principle is employed to construct the differential equations of the vertical bending and torsional vibrations of the stiffening girder continuum in each span. Vibrations of stiffening girders in each span are interrelated via the vibrations of the main cables and the bridge towers. On this basis, the natural frequencies and mode shapes are derived by separating variables. The proposed algorithm is then applied to an engineering example. The natural frequencies and mode shapes of vertical bending and torsional vibrations derived by the analytical algorithm agreed well with calculations via the finite element method. The fundamental frequency of vertical bending and first- and second-order torsion frequencies of double-cable suspension bridges are much higher than those of single-cable suspension bridges. The analytical algorithm has high computational efficiency and calculation accuracy, which can provide a reference for selecting appropriate structural parameters to meet the requirements of dynamics during the preliminary design.

The present paper investigates the curvature ductility of confined reinforced concrete (RC) beams with normal (NSC) and high strength concrete (HSC). For the purpose of predicting the curvature ductility factor, an analytical model was developed based on the equilibrium of internal forces of confined concrete and reinforcement. In this context, the curvatures were calculated at first yielding of tension reinforcement and at ultimate when the confined concrete strain reaches the ultimate value. To best simulate the situation of confined RC beams in flexure, a modified version of an ancient confined concrete model was adopted for this study. In order to show the accuracy of the proposed model, an experimental database was collected from the literature. The statistical comparison between experimental and predicted results showed that the proposed model has a good performance. Then, the data generated from the validated theoretical model were used to train the artificial neural network (ANN) prediction model. The R² values for theoretical and experimental results are equal to 0.98 and 0.95, respectively which proves the high performance of the ANN model. Finally, a parametric study was implemented to analyze the effect of different parameters on the curvature ductility factor using theoretical and ANN models. The results are similar to those extracted from experiments, where the concrete strength, the compression reinforcement ratio, the yield strength, and the volumetric ratio of transverse reinforcement have a positive effect. In contrast, the ratio and the yield strength of tension reinforcement have a negative effect.

This paper investigated the effects of rebar corrosion on bond performance between rebar and two different concrete mixes (compressive strengths of 20.7 MPa and 44.4 MPa). The specimen was designed as a rebar centrally embedded in a 200 mm concrete cube, with two stirrups around the rebar to supply confinement. An electrochemical accelerated corrosion technique was applied to corrode the rebar. 120 specimens of two different concrete mixes with various reinforcing steel corrosion levels were manufactured. The corrosion crack opening width and length were recorded in detail during and after the corrosion process. Three different loading schemes: monotonic pull-out load, 10 cycles of constant slip loading followed by pull-out and varied slip loading followed by pull-out, were carried out on the specimens. The effects of rebar corrosion with two different concrete mixes on corrosion crack opening, bond strength and corresponding slip value, initial slope of bond-slip curve, residual bond stress, mechanical interaction stress, and energy dissipation, were discussed in detail. The mean value and coefficient of variation of these parameters were also derived. It was found that the coefficient of variation of the parameters of the corroded specimens was larger than those with intact rebar. There is also obvious difference in the two different concrete mixes for the effects of rebar corrosion on bond-slip parameters.

Recent research on steel moment-resisting connection between steel beams and concrete filled steel tubes has shown that there are considerable advantages to be obtained by anchoring the connection to the concrete infill within the tube using anchors in blind bolts. In the research reported here, extensive experimental tests and numerical analyses have been performed to study the anchorage behaviour of cogged deformed reinforcing bars within concrete filled circular steel tubes. This data in essential knowledge for the design of the steel connections that use anchored blind bolts, both for strength and stiffness. A series of pull-out tests were conducted using steel tubes with different diameter to thickness ratios under monotonic and cyclic loading. Both hoop strains and longitudinal strains in the tubes were measured together with applied load and slip. Various lead-in lengths before the bend and length of tailed extension after the bend were examined. These dimensions were limited by the dimensions of the steel tube and did not meet the requirements for "standard" cogs as specified in concrete standards such as AS 3600 and ACI 318. Nevertheless, all of the tested specimens failed by bar fracture outside the steel tubes. A comprehensive 3D Finite Element model was developed to simulate the pull-out tests. The FE model took into account material nonlinearities, deformations in reinforcing bars and interactions between different surfaces. The FE results were found to be in good agreement with experimental results. This model was then used to conduct parametric studies to investigate the influence of the confinement provided by the steel tube on the infilled concrete.

No significant improvement has been observed on the seismic performance of the ordinary steel reinforced concrete (SRC) columns compared with the reinforced concrete (RC) columns mainly because I, H or core cross-shaped steel cannot provide sufficient confinement for core concrete. Two improved SRC columns by constructing with new-type section steel were put forward on this background: a cross-shaped steel whose flanges are in contact with concrete cover by extending the geometry of webs, and a rotated cross-shaped steel whose webs coincide with diagonal line of the column's section. The advantages of new-type SRC columns have been proved theoretically and experimentally, while construction measures and seismic behavior remain unclear when the new-type columns are joined onto SRC beams. Seismic behavior of SRC joints with new-type section steel were experimentally investigated by testing 5 specimens subjected to low reversed cyclic loading, mainly including the failure patterns, hysteretic loops, skeleton curves, energy dissipation capacity, strength and stiffness degradation and ductility. Effects of steel shape, load angel and construction measures on seismic behavior of joints were also analyzed. The test results indicate that the new-type joints display shear failure pattern under seismic loading, and steel and concrete of core region could bear larger load and tend to be stable although the specimens are close to failure. The hysteretic curves of new-type joints are plumper whose equivalent viscous damping coefficients and ductility factors are over 0.38 and 3.2 respectively, and this illustrates the energy dissipation capacity and deformation ability of new-type SRC joints are better than that of ordinary ones with shear failure. Bearing capacity and ductility of new-type joints are superior when the diagonal cross-shaped steel is contained and beams are orthogonal to columns, and the two construction measures proposed have little effect on the seismic behavior of joints.
