The purpose of this paper is to improve the inappropriate analysis results when the end of the brace on braced frame is applied as pinned connection in practice. The stiffness of the gusset plate connection on the braced frame has the amount of between pinned and rigid connection, and the analysis model that applies the stiffness of the connection must be used for accurate performance evaluation. In this study, the stiffness of the gusset plate designed by the balanced design procedure are quantified, and applied to the analysis model to simulate the gusset plate connection. The proposed model was verified through nonlinear static analysis (pushover analysis) of SAP2000. The effect of the connection on the seismic performance of the braced frame was analyzed by comparing the proposed model and pinned model. As a result, it was confirmed that the performance of the braced frame was evaluated conservatively in practice, and the ductility was overestimated. Therefore, it is important to consider the connection for accurate and economical performance evaluation.

In Special Concentrically Braced Frames (SCBFs), vertical and horizontal components of the brace force must be resisted by column and beam, respectively but normal force component existing at the gusset plate-to-column and beam interfaces, creates out-of-plane action making distortion in column and beam faces adjacent to the gusset plate. It is a main concern in Hollow Structural Section (HSS) columns and beams where their webs and gusset plate are not in the same plane. In this paper, a new gusset plate passing through the HSS columns and beams, named as through gusset plate, is proposed to study the force transfer mechanism in such gusset plates of SCBFs compared to the case with conventional gusset plates. For this purpose, twelve SCBFs with diagonal brace and HSS columns and twelve SCBFs with chevron brace and HSS columns and beams are considered. For each frame, two cases are considered, one with through gusset plates and the other with conventional ones. Based on numerical results, using through gusset plates prevents distortion and out-of-plane deformation at HSS column and beam faces adjacent to the gusset plate helping the entire column and beam cross-sections to resist respectively vertical and horizontal components of the brace force. Moreover, its application increases energy dissipation, lateral stiffness and strength around 28%, 40% and 32%, respectively, improving connection behavior and raising the resistance of the normal force components at the gusset plate-to-HSS column and beam interfaces to approximately 4 and 3.5 times, respectively. Finally, using such through gusset plates leads to better structural performance particularly for HSS columns and beams with larger width-to-thickness ratio elements.

리브로 보강된 가셋트-강관 접합부의 거동은 매우 복잡한 양상을 나타내므로 이론적인 방법으로는 극한강도평가가 불가능하다. 그러므로 본 연구에서는 리브로 보강된 K형 가셋트-강관접합부의 유한요소 해석결과를 실험결과와 비교 분석하여 그 타당성을 입증하고, 유한요소해석에 의한 접합부의 거동을 파악하고 극한강도를 추정하였다. 또한 횡력비, 편심률, 가셋트 길이를 고려한 유한요소해석으로부터 보강효과를 파악하였으며, 보강플레이트의 길이, 높이, 두께의 변화에 따른 해석을 수행하여 합리적인 보강방법을 제안하였다.

축방향으로 가셋트판이 관통한 원형 강관 부재는 압축력을 전달하는 강관 트러스 구조물의 사재로 많이 사용된다. 본 연구의 대상이 되는 가셋트판이 관통한 원형 강관 부재는 단면 성능이 다른 두 부재로 이루어져 있으므로 탄성 좌굴내력은 강성비($\beta$)와 각 부재 길이의 비(G)에 의해 영향을 받게 된다. 그러나 현행 규준에서는 이러한 변수들에 대한 구체적인 연구 자료 없이 유효좌굴길이계수 k=0.9를 사재에 적용하여 설계하도록 하고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 탄성론에 근거한 이론적 분석과 유한요소 해석에 의한 분석을 수행하여 각 변수들에 의한 구속효과를 파악하였다.

본 연구에서는 편심 축력을 받는 가셋트-강관 접합부의 극한 내력을 파악하기 위하여 실험 및 유한요소해석을 수행하였다. 가셋트-강관 접합부의 내력에 영향을 주는 요소는 강관의 직경, 가셋트판 길이, 축력과 횡력의 비, 횡력에 의한 편심 등으로 이들이 주재의 좌굴내력에 미치는 영향을 정량적으로 파악하여 접합부 강도식을 제안하였다. 특히 횡력에 의한 편심이 주재에 작용할 때 이를 설계식에 반영하기 위하여 횡력을 등가의 모멘트 및 편심 축력으로 대치한 수치 모형을 제시하였다. 결과적으로 접합부의 작용하는 외력을 주주재 축력, 모멘트, 편심 축력으로 분해하고 각 외력에 대한 독립적인 극한내력을 구한후 이들의 상관 관계식을 구함으로써 접합부 극한강도식을 제시하였다.

Concrete-filled steel tube (CFT) composite columns, either circular (CCFT) or rectangular (RCFT), have many economical and aesthetic advantages but the behavior of their connections are complicated. This study aims to investigate, through an experimental program, the performance and behavior of different connections configurations between circular concrete filled steel tube columns (CCFT) and gusset plates subjected to shear and axial compression loadings. The study included seventeen connection subassemblies consisting of a fixed length steel tube and gusset plate connected to the tube end with different details tested under half cyclic loading. A notable effect was observed on the behavior of the connections due to its detailing changes with respect to capacity, failure mode, ductility, and stress distribution.

Connections to circular hollow steel sections (CHS) are considered one of the most complex and time consuming connections in steel construction. Such connections are usually composed of gusset plates welded to the outside of the steel tube or penetrating the steel tube. Design guides, accounting for the effect of connection configuration on the strength of the connection, are not present. This study aims to investigate, through experimental testing and a parametric study, the influence of connection configuration on the strength of one sided branch plate-to-CHS members. A notable effect was observed on the behavior of the connections due to its detailing changes with respect to capacity, failure mode, ductility, and stress distribution. A parametric study is performed using the calibrated analytical model to include a wider range of parameters. The study involves 26 numerical analyses of finite element models including parameters of the diameter-to-thickness (D/t) ratio, length of gusset plate, and connection configuration. Accordingly, a modification to the formulas provided by the current design recommendations was suggested to include connection configuration effects for the one sided branch plate-to-CHS members.

초고층 빌딩의 수요가 증가함에 따라 고강도 강관의 수요 또한 함께 증가하고 있다. 이에 고강도 고인성의 600MPa급 강관의 접합부 내력 연구가 필요하게 되었다. 또한 현행국내기준에는 강관의 경우 항복응력 360MPa 이하에 설계식을 적용하도록 되어 있다. 즉, 고강도강재를 이용한 600MPa 강관의 경우 현행기준을 적용할 수 없으므로 600MPa급 고강도 강관의 거셋플레이트 접합부의 내력실험 및 유한요소해석을 통하여 기존 설계식의 적용가능성을 조사하고 접합부의 거동을 연구하고자 한다. 특히, 본 논문에서는 원형강관에 길이 방향으로 거셋플레이트가 접합된 접합부에 횡력(수평력)이 작용하였을 때의 거동을 다루었다. 유한요소해석 및 실험결과를 설계식과 비교해보면, 고강도 강재에서는 기존의 설계식들이 56~79%로 과소평가되었다.

This study was carried out in order to evaluate the bending creep deflection of glulams and bolted glulams beam-to-beam connection with steel-gusset plates and bolts under changing relative humidity. The two types of glulam beams (130 mm in width, 175 mm in thickness, and 3000 mm in length) used in this study were made from domestic larch and composed of seven layers. The gussets were made of 8-mm-thick steel plates. Creep testing was conducted under constant loads in an uncontrolled environment. The test was carried out in a room that was well ventilated through a window. The creep test specimens were loaded for 33,000 hours. A bending creep test for the glulams was conducted through four-point loading. The applied stresses were 20% and 30% of the MOR in the static bending test for the glulam and bolted glulam, respectively. After 33,000 hours, the creep deflection of the glulam at a 20% stress level increased by 39% to 99%, while the creep deflection of the glulam at a 30% stress level increased by 27% to 67%, as compared with instantaneous elastic deflection. The relative creep increased during autumn and winter, and recovered during spring and summer. The relative creep of the bolted glulams was changed abruptly by loading up to 5,000 hours, but stabilized after 5,000 hours, and then gradually increased until 33,000 hours. The relative creep of the bolted glulam increased 2.11 times on average after 33,000 hours.
