Concrete filled steel tubes (CFSTs) are extensively used in a variety of structures due to their structural and economic advantages over other types of structures. Considerable research has been conducted with regards to their short-term behaviour, and very limited studies have focused on their long-term behaviour. In this study, a series of tests were carried out on high strength squat (short) CFSTs and concrete cylinders under controlled conditions of temperature and humidity to better understand their time dependent behaviour. A number of parameters were investigated including the influence of steel and concrete bond, confinement, level of sustained load and sizes of specimens. The results revealed that creep strains increased by more than 40% if there was no bonding between steel tube and concrete core. As expected, creep and shrinkage of concrete inside a steel tube were significantly less than those developed in exposed concrete. At the end of a creep period of six months, all the specimens were tested to failure to observe the influence of sustained loads on the ultimate strength. It was found that creep does not have a major effect on the strength of short CFSTs in the specific experimental study conducted here, which was less than 2.5%.

Brake tube is considered one of the most important parts in automobile. The shape of brake tube end has a great influence on the function of brake, and the quality and productivity of brake tube have relation to die design. The forming process of brake tube end is performed by hydraulic press forming machine. In this paper, the forming processes of tube end for automobile is analyzed and designed to make the optimal form of brake tube end. Also, finite element analysis has been carried out using $DEFORM^{TM}% 3D to predict the optimal shape of brake tube end and the results obtained showed the optimal length between punch and chuck is $1.0{\sim}1.2mm$. The shape of tube end is in good agreement with the finite element simulations and the experimental results.

콘크리트 충전강관 기둥은 강관의 구속효과에 의해 콘크리트의 압축내력 상승과, 콘크리트에 의한 강관의 국부좌굴 보강효과에 의해 부재내력이 상승하고 뛰어난 변형성능을 발휘한다. 하지만, 기둥단면이 커질 경우 합성효과를 발휘하기 위하여 스터드 볼트나 후 시공 앵커 볼트를 사용해야 하는 시공상의 문제점이 발생된다. 이를 극복함과 동시에 합성효과를 증대시키기 위한 방안으로 내부에 리브가 설치된 용접조립 기둥이 소개되었다. 내부 리브는 콘크리트와 맞물려 있어 리브의 변형은 콘크리트의 균열을 촉진시키는 역할을 동반하게 된다. 이러한 잠재적인 문제에 대한 해결책은 강관 리브의 변형에 저항할 수 있도록 콘크리트 인성을 증가시킬 수 있는 방안이 필요하다. 언급된 두 가지의 문제점이 효과적으로 해결될 경우 용접조립 각형강관 기둥은 내화성능 확보가 가능하다고 판단된다. 본 연구에서는 해결방안으로 내부 콘크리트를 강섬유와 혼입하여 기둥 자체의 연성과 인성을 증대시키는 것에 중점을 맞추고 있다. 내화성능 평가를 위한 시험체는 총 8개 로 하중비에 따른 재하가열 실험을 실시하고 화재 전후 거동과 열 변형 능력을 주요변수별로 분석하였다. 실험결과와 선행연구 비교를 통해 열 전달과 열응력 해석 모델의 신뢰성을 확보하였으며, 강섬유 혼입율에 따른 변수해석을 수행하였다.

To evaluate the bending collapse behavior of an aluminum square tube, a finite element simulation for the four-point bending test was suggested. Local buckling deformation near the center of an aluminum tube specimen was induced which has been partly inserted by two steel bars. Simulation results showed good agreements with those of experiment.

This study investigates the effect of an included angle and heat flux on heat transfer of V-shape tube array having a horizontal upper tube. The test uses two stainless steel tubes with a smooth surface submerged under the water at atmospheric pressure. The angle varies from 2° to 24°. The heat transfer coefficient gets decreasing in consequence as the angle increases. The enhancement due to the lower tube is distinct as the heat flux is lower than 60 kW/㎡, where the effect of the convective flow is dominant. The present study and the published results show a similar tendency. Although the heat transfer coefficient for the present study is smaller than the symmetry case, enhanced heat transfer is observed compared to the tube array having a lower horizontal tube as the included angle is less than 10°.

기둥은 축하중과 지진하중에 저항하는 주부재로서 구조물에서 가장 중요한 부재중의 하나이다. 이러한 기둥은 화재 시 고온에 의해 그 성능이 저하되어 전체 구조물계에 심각한 균열을 초래할 수 있으며, 구조물의 붕괴로도 이어질 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 새로운 형식의 기둥인 내부구속 중공 콘크리트 충전강관 기둥 (ICH CFT column; Internally Confined Hollow Concrete Filled Tube column)의 내화 성능이 연구되어져 있지 않기 때문에 건축물에 적용을 하여 기준에 맞는 기둥을 만들기 위해서는 내화 성능 평가가 필요하다. 본 기둥은 콘크리트 충전 강관 기둥 (CFT column; Concrete Filled Tube column)과 같이 외부 강관에 의해 콘크리트가 구속되어 기둥의 성능을 발휘하므로, 외부 강관의 항복 여부가 전체 기둥의 강도를 결정하게 될 것이다. 그래서 본 연구에서는 화재에 의한 기둥의 온도 변화에 따른 ICH CFT 기둥의 강도를 콘크리트의 구속효과와 재료비선형성을 고려하여 해석을 수행하였고, 또한 기둥의 중공비, 외부강관의 두께, 콘크리트의 강도를 매개 변수로 선정하여 기둥의 내화 성능을 평가하였으며, 해석에는 범용 프로그램과 전용 프로그램을 병행하여 사용하였다.

The present paper deals with the application of the explicit finite element code, PAM-CRASH, to simulate the crash behavior of steel thin-walled tubes with various cross-sections subjected to axial loading. An isotropic elastic, linear strain-hardening material model was used in the finite element analysis and the strain-rate sensitivity of mild steel was modeled by using the Cowper-Symonds constitutive equation with modified coefficients. The modified coefficients were applied in numerical collapse simulations of 11 types of thin-walled polygon tubes: 7 convex polygon tubes and 4 concave polygon tubes. The results show that the thin hexagonal tube and the thick octagonal tube showed relatively good performance within the convex polygon tubes. The crush strengths of the hexagonal and octagonal tubes increased by about 20% and 25% from the crush strength of the square tube, respectively. Among the concave tubes, the I-type tube showed the best performance. Its crush strength was about 50% higher than the crush strength of the square tube.

A mortar-filled rectangular hollow structural section (RHS) can increase a structural section property as well as a compressive buckling capacity of a RHS member. In this study, the tensile performance of newly developed mortar-filled RHS members was experimentally evaluated with various connection details. The major test parameters were the type of end connections, the thickness of cap plates and shear plates, the use of stud bolts, and penetrating bars. The test results showed that the welded T-end connection experienced a brittle weld fracture at the welded connection, whereas the tensile performance of the T-end connection was improved by additional stud bolts inserted into the mortar within the RHS tube. For the end connection using shear plates and penetrating stud bolts, ductile behavior of the RHS tube was achieved after yielding. The penetrating bars increased load carrying capacity of the RHS. Based on the analysis of the load transfer mechanism, the current design code and test results were compared to evaluate the tensile capacity of the RHS tube according to the connection details. Design considerations for the connections of the mortar-filled RHS tubes were also recommended.

In steel framed-tube structures (SFTSs), the plastic hinges at beam-ends cannot be adequately improved because of the large cross sections of spandrel beams, which results in the lower ductility and energy dissipation capacities of traditional SFTSs. To address this drawback, high-strength steel fabricated SFTSs with bolted web-connected replaceable shear links (HSFTS-SLs) have been proposed. In this system, shear links use conventional steel and are placed in the middle of the deep spandrel beams to act as energy dissipative components. In this study, 2/3-scaled HSFTS-SL specimens were fabricated, and cyclic loading tests were carried out to study the seismic performance of both specimens. The finite element models (FEMs) of the two specimens were established and the numerical results were compared with the test results. The results showed that the specimens had good ductility and energy dissipation capacities due to the reliable deformation capacities. The specimens presented the expected failure modes. Using a shorter shear link can provide a higher load-carrying capacity and initial elastic lateral stiffness but induces lower ductility and energy dissipation capacity in HSFTS-SLs. The performance of the specimens was comparable to that of the original sub-structure specimens after replacing shear links. Additionally, the expected post-earthquake recoverability and resilience of the structures could be achieved by replacing shear links. The acceptable residual interstory drift that allows for easy replacement of the bolted web-connected shear link was 0.23%. The bolted web-connected shear links had reliable hysteretic responses and deformation capacities. The connection rotation had a notable contribution to total link rotation. The results of the numerical analysis run for the proposed FEMs were consistent with the test results. It showed that the proposed FEMs could be used to investigate the seismic performance of the HSFTS-SL.
