Column base connections are critical components in steel structures because they transfer axial forces, shear forces and moments to the foundation. Exposed column bases are quite commonly used in low- to medium-rise buildings. To investigate shear transfer in exposed column base plates, four large scale specimens were subjected to a combination of axial load (compression or tension) and lateral shear deformations. The main parameters examined experimentally include the number of anchor rod, arrangement of anchor rod, type of lateral loading, and axial force ratio. It is observed that the shear resisting mechanism of exposed column base changed as the axial force changed. When the axial force is in compression, the resisting mechanism is rotation type, and the shear force will be resisted by friction force between base plate and mortar layer. The specimens could sustain inelastic deformation with minimal strength deterioration up to column rotation angle of 3%. The moment resistance and energy dissipation will be increased as the number of anchor rods increased. Moreover, moment resistance could be further increased if the anchor rods were arranged in details. When the axial force is in tension, the resisting mechanism is slip type, and the shear force will be resisted by the anchor rods. And the shear resistance was reduced significantly when the axial force was changed from compression to tension. The test results indicated that the current design approach could estimate the moment resistance within reasonable acceptance, but overestimate the shear resistance of exposed column base.

주각부는 상부의 강구조와 철근콘크리트조 기초의 접합부로써 매우 중요한 부분이다. 현재 국내외 강구조 골조 공사에서 사용되는 주각부의 형식은 크게 구분하여 노출형 주각부 근권형 주각부, 매입형 주각부라고 할 수 있다. 이 중에서 부재의 재사용 및 재활용을 최우선으로 고려한다면 노출형 주각부가 가장 유리하다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 노출형 주각부의 시공 성능 및 역학적 성능을 획기적으로 개선할 수 있는 형태의 강구조 선형상 노출형 주각부를 개발하고, 구조 성능 평가를 위한 탄소성 재하실험을 수행하였다. 그 결과 개발된 신형상 노출형 주각부는 수평 방향과 수직 방향의 시공 오차를 현장에서 간단히 흡수하여 기존 노출형 주각부의 시공 불량을 사전에 방지함으로써 구조 성능을 발휘한다. 또한 에너지 흡수형 고력볼트를 사용함으로써 변형 성능이 증가함을 알 수 있었다.

Exposed column base connections are used in low- to mid-rise steel moment resisting frames. This paper is to investigate the effect of the base plate thickness on the exposed column base connection strength, stiffness, and energy dissipation. Five specimens with different base plate thickness were numerically modelled using ABAQUS software. The numerical model is able to reproduce the key characteristics of the experimental response. Based on the numerical analysis, the critical base plate thickness to identify the base plate and anchor rod yield mechanism is proposed. For the connection with base plate yield mechanism, the resisting moment is carried by the flexural bending of the base plate. Yield lines in the base plate on the tension side and compression side are illustrated, respectively. This type of connection exhibits a relatively large energy dissipation. For the connection with anchor rod yield mechanism, the moment is resisted through a combination of bearing stresses of concrete foundation on the compression side and tensile forces in the anchor rods on the tension side. This type of connection exhibits self-centering behavior and shows higher initial stiffness and bending strength. In addition, the methods to predict the moment resistance of the connection with different yield mechanisms are presented. And the evaluated moment resistances agree well with the values obtained from the FEM model.

The weld quality has always been an important factor affecting the development of exposed CFT column-base joint. In this paper, a new type of exposed RCFST column-base joint is proposed, in which the high strength steel bars (USD 685) are set through the column and reinforced concrete foundation without any base plate and anchor bolts. Three specimens, the varying axial force ratio (0, 0.25 and 0.5), were tested under cyclic loadings. In addition, the bending moment capacity, energy dissipation capacity and deformation capacity of column-base joints were clarified. The experimental results indicated that the axial force ratio increases the stiffness and the bending moment and improves the energy dissipation capacity of column-base joints. This is because a large axial force can limit the slip between steel tubular and infilled concrete effectively. The specimens show stable hysteresis behavior.

Exposed-type steel column bases are used widely in low-rise building construction. Numerous researchers have examined methods to identify their stiffness and strength, but those studies have heretofore been restricted to in-plane behaviors. This paper presents an experimental investigation of inelastic behaviors of square hollow section (SHS) steel column bases under biaxial bending. Two types of failure modes are considered : anchor bolt yielding and base plate yielding. Different pinching effects and interaction surfaces for biaxial bending are observed for these two modes during bi-directional quasi-static cyclic loading tests. Differences are elucidated using limit analyses based on a simple analytical model.

An observatory termed 'Steel Swing' has been developed, where a 15000 kg pendulum is hanged from a stiff steel frame. A building element can be tested after inserted between the pendulum and the frame. Free vibration, forced vibration tests and earthquake monitoring were performed on an exposed-type steel column base. The response records monitored during natural earthquakes were used to identify the vibration property of the specimen. Identified system gain was approximated by a theoretical gain of linear SDOF system, and the response calculated based on such a linear system agrees with the monitored response fairly well. This research technique can be applied to check the behaviors of new materials and new details of connections and the safety of non-structural elements as well.

기존의 주각부는 보강을 위하여 주각부의 가공에 많은 인력과 시간이 필요하게 되며 용접부가 과다하게 되어 베이스 플레이트에 변형이 발생하여 현장 설치시 앵커볼트와의 조립이 어려운 점등의 문제가 있다. 또한 상부구조의 응력분포와 변형 등을 평가하는 것에 있어서 중요한 의미를 가지는 주각의 고정도는 베이스플레이트의 강성부족, 앵커볼트의 느슨함, 베이스플레이트 하면(下面) 모르타르의 충진불량 등에 의해서 실제 해석상의 완전고정보다는 고정도가 저하된다. 본 연구는 기존의 주각구성 방법을 개선하기 위해 응력의 분포에 따라 베이스 플레이트의 두께조절이 가능한 주강(鑄鋼)을 사용하여 베이스플레이트의 강성을 크게하고, 주각부를 보다 간편하게 구성할 수 있는 방법을 도입하였다. 이러한 주각구성법은 철판을 절단하여 용접하는 기존의 형식을 탈피하여 주각부의 베이스플레이트를 응력의 분포에 맞춰 그 두께를 조절할 수 있는 주강제품으로 제작함으로써 주각부의 가공 및 용접량을 최대한 줄이고 베이스플레이트의 강성을 증대시키며, 응력의 흐름도 명확하게 할 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 시공의 간편성, 품질의 향상을 도모하는 것에 그 목적이 있다. 이러한 주강제 주각부의 개발을 위하여, 기존 주각부와 주강제 주각부에 대한 실험체를 제작하여 반복가력 시험을 통하여 내력과 강성을 파악하고, 피로 시험을 통하여 장기적인 사용성을 확인하였다. 이상의 실험을 통해 주강제 주각부와 기존의 주각부의 구조적 성능을 비교하였을 때 내력과 강성면에서 동등한 성능을 보유하고 있는 것으로 나타났고, 사용하중의 반복가력 평가에서도 주강제 주각부가 안정적인 거동을 하는 것으로 평가되었다.
