The steel pipe strut for a means of the retaining structure has been used generally in North America, Europe and China so far. However, Korea and Japan, two countries are much familiar with H-shape steel strut having its anisotropic strength on two different axes(named as strong and weak axes), even though they recognize the steel pipe's excellence of structural function associated with its compressive ability. This trend is mainly due to a number of its field application, accumulated know-hows and workmanship etc. This paper introduces particular features of a high-strength steel pipe strut in comparison with the H-shape steel strut and its application for two excavation sites in Seoul. As a result of field verification, the high-strength pipe steel strut is more effective than the H-shape steel strut in terms of construction costs, schedules, constructibility and structural stability.

Ever since the introduction of high strength steel pipe strut(POSTRUT) in 2008, there has been over 50 applications domestically. The merits of construction period reduction and cost savings have been well reported abroad in countries such as America, Europe and China but ever in domestic projects or ground condidtions. 25 actual construction projects were investigated and statistically analyzed to evaluate the quantitative effects of POSTRUT. Also the construction projects along with the cautions that should be taken and the structural behavior differences between POSTRUT and H-section struts are briefly described in this paper.

This paper reports experimental investigation on shear behavior of steel reinforced concrete (SRC) shallow floor beam, where the steel shape is embedded in concrete and the high strength bolts are used to transfer the shear force along the interface between the steel shape and concrete. Six specimens were conducted aiming to provide information on shear performance and explore the shear bearing capacity of SRC shallow floor beams. The effects of the height of concrete slab, the size and the type of the steel section on shear performance of beams were also analyzed in the test. Based on the strut-and-tie model, the shear strength of the SRC shallow floor beam was proposed. Experimental results showed that composite shallow floor beam exhibited satisfactory composite behavior and all of the specimen failed in shear failure. The shear bearing capacity increased with the increasing of height of concrete slab and the size of steel shape, and the bearing capacities of beam specimens with castellated steel shape was slightly lower than those of specimens with H-shaped steel section. Furthermore, the calculations for evaluating the shear bearing capacity of SRC shallow floor beam were verified to be reasonable.

In this research, we tested 10 simply supported concrete-encased composite columns under monotonic eccentric loads and investigated their shear behaviour. The specimens tested were two reinforced concrete specimens, three steel-reinforced concrete (SRC) specimens with an H-shaped steel section (also called a beam section), and five SRC specimens with a cruciform-shaped steel section (also called a column section). The experimental variables included the transverse steel shape's depth and the longitudinal steel flange's width. Experimental observations indicated the following. (1) The ultimate load-carrying capacity was controlled by web compression failure, defined as a situation where the concrete within the diagonal strut's upper end was crushed. (2) The composite effect was strong before the crushing of the concrete outside the steel shape. (3) We adjusted the softened strut-and-tie SRC (SST-SRC) model to yield more accurate strength predictions than those obtained using the strength superposition method. (4) The MSST-SRC model can more reasonably predict shear strength at an initial concrete softening load point. The rationality of the MSST-SRC model was inferred by experimentally observing shear behaviour, including concrete crushing and the point of sharp variation in the shear strain.

대형 구조물의 건설과 지하공간의 활용을 위한 대규모 굴착 공사에 축방향 압축력에 대한 저항성능이 뛰어난 버팀보가 요구된다. 팔각형강관은 2축대칭 폐단면구조로 단위 길이 당 중량이 같은 경우 사각형강관에 비하여 단면2차모멘트가 크고 판의 폭-두께비는 작아 휨좌굴 및 국부좌굴에 대한 압축강도가 더 크다. 또한, 원형강관에 비하여 실제 시공단계에서 버팀보의 설치, 해체, 운반 및 적재 시 유리한 장점이 있다. 이 연구에서는 길이 9.6m의 팔각형강관 2개를 현장에서 볼트로 맞대기 이음하고, 양 끝에 주철로 제작한 지점연결요소를 볼트로 접합시킨 길이 20m의 팔각강관 버팀보에 대해 설계기준, 중심축의 초기폄심에 따른 유한요소해석 결과, 그리고 버팀보 재하 시험에서 얻은 결과를 서로 비교하고, 버팀보의 성능을 평가하였다. 시험 결과, 모든 버팀보 시험체의 축방향 압축강도는 도로교설계기준(2012)에 따른 값과 거의 동일하거나 그 이상인 것으로 나타났다. 초기편심은 측정한 변형률 값을 이용하여 추정할 수 있으며, 모든 버팀보 시험체의 경우 L/450 이하인 것으로 나타났다. 초기편심이 증가하면 버팀보의 압축강도는 감소하며, 횡방향하중으로 상재하중이 재하된 버팀보는 자중만 작용하는 경우에 비하여 초기편심의 증가로 인한 영향이 작은 것으로 나타났다. 이 연구 결과, 제작 및 설치에 의해 발생하는 오차와 자중에 의한 처짐을 고려한 초기편심을 L/350 이하로 관리하면 도로교설계기준(2012)의 압축강도를 확보할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
