This study presents applications of the multivariate adaptive regression splines (MARS) method for predicting the ultimate loading carrying capacity (N_u) of rectangular concrete-filled steel tubular (CFST) columns subjected to eccentric loading. A database containing 141 experimental data was collected from available literature to develop the MARS model with a total of seven variables that covered various geometrical and material properties including the width of rectangular steel tube (B), the depth of rectangular steel tube (H), the wall thickness of steel tube (t), the length of column (L), cylinder compressive strength of concrete (f'_c), yield strength of steel (f_y), and the load eccentricity (e). The proposed model is a combination of the MARS algorithm and the grid search cross-validation technique (abbreviated here as GS-MARS) in order to determine MARS' parameters. A new explicit formulation was derived from MARS for the mentioned input variables. The GS-MARS estimation accuracy was compared with four available mathematical methods presented in the current design codes, including AISC, ACI-318, AS, and Eurocode 4. The results in terms of criteria indices indicated that the MARS model was much better than the available formulae.

In a nonlinear finite element study on the mechanical behavior of simple beam connections to continuous concrete-filled steel tube columns, two principally different connection types were analyzed: one with plates attached to the outside of the tube wall, relying on shear transfer, and one with an extended plate inserted through the steel section to ensure bearing on the concrete core. The load was applied partly at the connection within the column length and partly at the top, representing the load from upper stories of a multistory building. The primary focus was on the increased demand for load transfer to ensure composite action when concrete with higher compressive strength is used. The results obtained from the analyses showed that the design bond strength derived from push tests is very conservative, mainly due to the high frictional shear resistance offered by pinching and contraction effects caused by connection rotation. However, with higher concrete strength the demand for load transfer increases, and is hard to fulfill for higher loads when connections are attached only to the steel section. Instead, the connection should penetrate into the concrete core to distribute load to the concrete by direct bearing.

This study proposes and examines a circular composite bridge pier for seismic resistance. The axial and flexural strengths of the proposed bridge pier are provided by the longitudinal reinforcing bars and the concrete, while the transverse reinforcements used in the conventional reinforced concrete pier are replaced by the steel tube. The shear strength of this composite pier relies on the steel tube and the concrete. This system is similar to the steel jacketing method which strengthens the existing reinforced concrete bridge piers. However, no transverse shear reinforcing bar is used in the proposed composite bridge pier. A series of experimental studies is conducted to investigate the seismic resistant characteristics of the proposed circular composite pier. The effects of the longitudinal reinforcing bars, the shear span-to-diameter ratio, and the thickness of the steel tube on the performance of strength, ductility, and energy dissipation of the proposed pier are discussed. The experimental results show that the strength of the proposed circular composite bridge pier can be predicted accurately by the similar method used in the reinforced concrete piers with minor modification. From these experimental studies, it is found that the proposed circular composite bridge pier not only simplifies the construction work greatly but also provides excellent ductility and energy dissipation capacity under seismic lateral force.

CFT(Concrete filled steel tube)기둥은 콘크리트와 강관의 이질적인 성질을 상호보완 할 수 있는 구조체 일뿐만 아니라 시공적인 측면에서도 공기단축으로 인한 공사원가 절감으로 인해 최근 널리 사용되고 있다. 그러나 기존CFT기둥은 강관의 항복이후 일정지점의 국부좌굴을 생기는 단점을 지니고 있다. 이를 개선하고자 본 연구에서는 예상국부좌굴위치에 탄소섬유쉬트로 보강을 한 TR(Tranversely reinforced) -CFT기둥에 대해 실험을 수행하였다. 실험변수는 콘크리트강도와 탄소섬유쉬트보강량이며 CFT실험체와 TR-CFT실험체의 이력곡선, 초기강성, 내력, 소성변형능력, 흡수에너지를 각각 비교분석하였다.

Prestressed composite girder bridges with concrete infilled steel tube at negative flexural moment region takes the advantages of enhancing local buckling and flexural resistances resulting from the lateral confining effect of concrete due to the interactive reaction in the interface layer of steel tube and concrete. The interface behavior in concrete infilled tube of the test composite girder is analyzed by 8-node zero thickness interface finite element combined with 3-D. elastoplastic concrete constitutive model and 3-D. elastoplastic Mindlin shell element. The interface effects between infillled concrete and steel tube are investigated through the comparision of the experimental and numerical results.

In this study. the fatigue lives of two kinds of specimens made by $CO^2$ gas weld were assessed. The materials for two kinds of specimens were taken out of the virgin carbon steel tubes and the used carbon steel tubes respectively. As a result, it was found that the fatigue lives of two groups of specimens were in the same order of magnitude.

본 논문에서는 부분 CFST (concrete-filled steel tube) 기둥에 대한 수치해석적 저항력 평가 방법에 대해 소개하고 있다. 기존 RC(reinforced concrete) 기둥에서 소성힌지가 발생할 것으로 예상되는 부분을 강관으로 보강함으로써 완전 CFST 기둥보다는 적은 재료를 사용하여 비슷한 휨 모멘트 저항력을 가지는 부분 CFST 기둥의 디자인 컨셉을 제시하였다. 부분 CFST 기둥에서 외부 강관과 내부 콘크리트 사이의 계면에서 거동을 수치해석적으로 모사하기 위해 개선된 부착슬립모델을 적용한 유한요소모델을 구축하고, 이중곡률 휨-압축시험결과와 비교를 통해 타당성을 검증하였다. 검증된 수치모델을 바탕으로 매개변수 연구를 통해서 P-M 상관도를 그려 단면 조건에 따른 최대 저항력을 평가하였다. 또한, 강관 두께별로 필요 보강길이를 산출하고, 보강 조건에 따른 부분 CFST 기둥에서의 파괴메커니즘을 분석하였다.

콘크리트충전 강관구조는 구조성능이 우수하고 내화성능 등이 우수하여 점진적으로 현장 적용이 확대되고 있다. 그러나 지금까지 이러한 구조형식에 있어서는 구조부재의 저항능력에 대해 연구가 활발하게 진행되어 왔으나, 기둥의 주각부에 대한 연구가 활발하지 못하여 아직까지 주각부에 대한 응력의 흐름이나 이력 특성에 대해 명확히 규명되어 있지 못하며, 따라서 주각부에 대한 구조설계 시에는 순수 철골구조에서 적용하는 설계방법을 원용하여 설계되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 충전강관 기둥의 주각부에 있어서의 구조적 거동을 규명하기 위하여 실험을 수행하였다. 실험의 주된 변수로는 강관의 주각부 형식과 매립깊이를 변수로 하였으며, 비교를 위하여 순수강관 기둥에 대한 주각부의 실험도 병행하였다. 실험결과 순수강관과 충전강관의 주각부에 있어 구조적 거동의 차이점은 크게 나타나지 않고 있으나, 주각부의 형식에 따른 거동의 차이는 크게 나타나고 있다.

The filmwise condensation heat transfer coefficients of R-134a on the horizontal copper and stainless steel tubes were measured and analyzed. The outside diameter of the tubes was 15.88 mm, and the tube thickness ranged from 0.89 to 1.65 mm. The polished stainless steel tube had an RMS surface roughness($R_q$) of 0.37 $\mu$m, and commercial stainless steel tubes had an surface roughness($R_q$) of 1.855 $\mu$m. The tests were conducted at the saturation temperatures of 20 and $30^{\circ}C$, and the liquid wall subcoolings from 0.4 to $2.1^{\circ}C$. The measured condensation heat transfer coefficients were significantly lower than the predicted data by the Nusselt analysis. This trend in the stainless steel tube was explained by the effects of thermal resistance of tube material and surface roughness. Based on the experimental data with respect to wall thickness and surface roughness, it was suggested that the existing correlation on external condensation should be modified by considering material and surface roughness factors. The revised correlation was developed by introducing the effects of wall thickness and surface roughness into the Nusselt equation. The average deviation of the revised correlation was 13.0 %.
