Beam-to-column connections behaviour plays an important role in the analysis and design of steel and precast concrete structures. The paper presents a computer-based method for geometrically nonlinear frames with semi-rigid beam-to-column connections. The analytical procedure employs modified stability functions to model the effect of axial force on the stiffness of members. The member modified stiffness matrix, and the modified fixed end forces for various loads were found. The linear and nonlinear analyses were applied for two planar steel structures. The method is readily implemented on a computer using matrix structural analysis techniques and is applicable for the efficient nonlinear analysis of frameworks.

This paper focus on the buckling restrained braces (BRBs) with new casing members (CMs). Seven BRBs with CMs consisting of precast concrete modules (PCMs) were tested to investigate the effects of CMs on the cyclic performance of BRBs. The PCMs consisted of plain and reinforced concrete casted into wooden or steel molds than they were located on the core plate (CP) via bolts. There were 14 or 18 PCMs on the CP for each BRBs. The technique of the PCMs for the CM provides that the BRBs can be constructed inside the steel or reinforced concrete (RC) structures. In this way, their applications may be rapid and practical during the application of the retrofitting. The test results indicated that the cyclic performance of the BRBs was dominated by the connection strength and confinement of the PCMs. The BRBs with PCMs wrapped with fiber reinforced polymers (FRPs) sustained stable hysteretic performance up to a CP strain of 2.0 %. This indicates that the new designed BRBs with PCMs were found to be acceptable in terms of cyclic performance. Furthermore, the connection details, isolation materials and their application techniques have been also investigated for the improved BRB design in this study.

Prefabricated reinforced-concrete shear walls are used extensively in building structures because they are convenient to construct and environmentally sustainable. To make large walls easier to transport, they are divided into smaller segments and then assembled at the construction site using a variety of connection methods. The present paper proposes a precast shear wall assembled using steel shear keys, wherein the shear keys are fixed on the embedded steel plates of adjacent wall segments by combined plug and fillet welding. The anchoring strength of shear keys is known to affect the mechanical properties of the wall segments. Loading tests were therefore performed to observe the behavior of precast shear wall specimens with different anchoring components for shear keys. The specimen with insufficient strength of anchoring components was found to have reduced stiffness and lateral resistance. Conversely, an extremely high anchoring strength led to a short-column effect at the base of the wall segments and low deformation ability. Finally, for practical engineering purposes, a design approach involving the safety coefficient of anchoring components for steel shear keys is suggested.

A prefabricated composite hollow slab with perforated I-beams was suggested for the replacement of deteriorated concrete decks or the construction of new composite bridges with long-span slabs. Composite slabs with embedded I-beams have considerably higher stiffness and strength. For the application of prefabricated composite slabs to bridges, joints between slabs should satisfy the requirements of the ultimate limit state and the serviceability limit state. In this paper, three types of the detail for loop joints were selected and their structural performance in terms of strength and crack control was investigated through static tests on continuous composite slabs. A main parameter was the detail of the joint, such as an ordinary loop joint and loop joint with additional reinforcements. Even though there was no connection of the steel beams at the joints, the loop joints showed good performance in terms of strength. In terms of crack control, the loop joint with additional reinforcements showed better performance. In ultimate limit state, the continuous composite slabs showed good moment redistribution and ductility.

To better promote the development of fabricated buildings, this paper studies the seismic behavior of precast concrete beam-column bolted joint under vertical low cyclic loading. The experimental results show that cracks appear in the beam-column joint core area. Meanwhile, the concrete and the grade 5.6 bolts are damaged and deformed, respectively. Specifically, the overall structure of the beam-column joint remains intact, and the bolts have good energy dissipation capacity. Based on the experimental study, a new method of beam-column bolted connection is proposed in simulation analysis. The simulation results show that the bolts deform in the core area of the new beam-column joint, which enhances the concrete shear capacity legitimately and protects the T-end of the beam against shear failure. To summarize, both the experimental joint and the simulated joint prolong the service life by replacing the bolts under the seismic loading. The research results provide a reference for applications of the fabricated beam-column joint.

Grouted sleeve splice (GSS) is an effective type of connection applied in the precast concrete structures as it has the advantages of rapidly assembly and reliable strength. To decrease the weight and cost of vertical rebar connection in precast shear walls, a light-weight sleeve is designed according to the thick-cylinder theory. Mechanical behaviour of the light-weighted GSS is investigated through experimental analysis. Two failure modes, such as rebar fracture failure and rebar pull-out failure, are found. The load-displacement curves exhibit four different stages: elastic stage, yield stage, strengthening stage, and necking stage. The bond strength between the rebar and the grout increases gradually from outer position to inner position of the sleeve, and it reaches the maximum value at the centre of the anchorage length. A finite element model predicting the mechanical properties of the light-weighted GSS is developed based on the Concrete Damage Plasticity (CDP) model and the Brittle Cracking (BC) model. The effect of the rebar anchorage length is significant, while the increase of the thickness of sleeve and the grout strength are not very effective. A model for estimating ultimate load, including factors of inner diameter of sleeves, anchorage length, and rebar diameter, is proposed. The proposed model shows good agreement with various test data.

Conventional apartment building projects have favored wall slab structure for the ease of construction and economic viability. However, wall slab structure, consisting of bearing walls, makes remodeling a difficult challenge. In addition, as the amendment to the Building Act in November, 2005 incentivized easy-to-remodel Rahmen structure design for apartment building in terms of floor area ratio and the number of stories, were are seeing more use of PC construct method in apartment building projects gradually. However, PC construction method requires complex connections between beams and columns, making it difficult to install and remove formwork. Furthermore, it is not possible to reuse forms after removal, generating lots of construction wastes, and it is necessary to install new forms again when the size of connection changes in line with modification of column cross-section. Researchers in Korea and elsewhere in the world have focused on structural performance of connection in PC construction method, with little attention to alternative approaches to improving connection forms for PC construction method. Accordingly, this research aims to study an approach to improving connection forms for PC construction method.

최근에 콘크리트 모듈로 건설하는 부유 구조물에 대한 연구가 활발히 이루어짐에 따라 콘크리트 모듈 간 접합 공법에 대한 필요성이 대두되고 있다. 모듈 간 접합 작업은 수중에서 프리스트레싱 텐던을 긴장하여 이루어지므로 시공성이 저하될 가능성이 있어서 가접합을 위한 부착재료 개발이 요구된다. 이번 연구에서는 콘크리트 구조물 보수보강용 섬유보강 패널 부착에 사용된 수중용 에폭시에 $SiO_2$ 계열 마이크로 실리카(Micro-silica : MS)를 혼입하여 콘크리트 모듈 가접합용 접합재료를 개발, 평가하였다. 기존 수중용 에폭시에 0~4% MS를 혼입하여 부착성능 평가를 통하여 최적 MS 혼입량을 산정하였으며 수중용 에폭시의 점도에 따른 MS 혼입 효과를 확인하기 위하여 주제 비율을 각각 0, ${\pm}5$%, ${\pm}10%$로 조정하여 재료성능을 검토한 후 최적 비율을 도출하였다. 도출된 마이크로 실리카 수중용 에폭시(MSAE)의 콘크리트 모듈 접합 성능을 검증하기 위하여 콘크리트 모듈 접합 시험체에 3점 재하 실험을 실시한 결과 MSAE는 기존 수중용 에폭시에 비해 콘크리트 모듈 접합 성능이 크게 향상된 것으로 나타났다.

비내진 상세를 갖는 노후된 철근콘크리트 골조의 내진보강을 위해 철근콘크리트 끼움벽 공법이 많이 사용되고 있다. 기존 콘크리트 골조에 끼움벽을 이용하여 보강하는 방법은 지진과 같은 횡력에 대하여 높은 강도를 확보할 수 있는 방법이다. 그러나, 기존의 끼움벽공법은 공사기간동안 이용자의 사용이 제한될 수 밖에 없으며, 접합부의 시공이 어렵고, 접합부의 합성성능을 확보하기 어려운 측면이 있다. 이 연구에서는 기존 끼움벽 공법의 단점을 개선하기 위하여 공장제작된 프리캐스트 콘크리트 벽체를 건물의 외부에서 압착하여 보강하는 방법을 제안하였다. 제안된 공법을 검증하기 위하여 반복하중을 받는 총 4개의 1/3축소 실험체들을 제작하여 실험을 수행하였으며, 제안된 공법이 적용된 철근콘크리트 골조의 강도, 강성, 에너지 소산 능력이 크게 향상되는 것을 실험적으로 확인하였다.
