A horizontal cyclic test was carried out to study the seismic performance of lightweight aggregate concrete filled steel tube (LACFST). The constitutive and hysteretic model of core lightweight aggregate concrete (LAC) was proposed for finite element simulation. The stress and strain changes of the steel tube and concrete filled inside were measured in the experiment, and the failure mode, hysteresis curve, skeleton curve, and strain curve of the test specimens were obtained. The influence of axial compression ratio, diameter-thickness ratio and material strength were analysed based on finite element model. The results show that the hysteresis curve of LACFST indicated favourable ductility, energy dissipation, and seismic performance. The LACFST failed when the concrete in the bottom first crushed and the steel tube then bulged, thus axial force imposed by prestressing was proved to be feasible. The proposed constitutive model and hysteretic model of LAC under the constraint of its steel tube was reliable. The bearing capacity and ductility of the specimen increase significantly with increasing thickness of the steel tube. The bearing capacity of the member improves while the ductility and energy dissipation performance slightly decreased with the increasing strength of the steel and concrete.

In this paper, the mechanical property of CFRP, BFRP, GFRP and their hybrid FRP was experimentally studied. The elastic modulus and tensile strength of CFRP, BFRP, GFRP and their hybrid FRP were tested. The experimental results showed that the elastic modulus of hybrid FRP agreed well with the theoretical rule of mixture, which means the property of hybrid composites are linear with the volumes of the corresponding components while the tensile strength did not. The bearing capacity, peak strain, stress-strain relationship of circular concrete columns confined by CFRP, BFRP, GFRP and hybrid FRP subjected to axial compression were recorded. And the confinement effect of hybrid FRP on concrete columns was analyzed. The test results showed that the bearing capacity and ductility of concrete columns were efficiently improved through hybrid FRP confinement. A strength model and a stress-strain relationship model of hybrid FRP confined concrete columns were proposed. The proposed stress-strain model was shown to be capable of providing accurate prediction of the axial compressive strength of hybrid FRP confined concrete compared with Teng et al. (2002) model, Karbhari and Gao (1997) model and Miyachi et al. (1999) model. The modified stress-strain model was also suitable for single FRP confinement cases and it was so concise in form and didn't have piecewise fitting, which would be easy for use in structural design.

The use of lateral reinforcement in confined concrete columns can improve bearing capacity and deformability. The lateral responses of lateral reinforcement significantly influence the effective confining pressure on core concrete. However, lateral strain-axial strain model of concrete columns confined by lateral reinforcement has not received enough attention. In this paper, based on experimental results of 85 concrete columns confined by lateral reinforcement under axial compression, the effect of unconfined concrete compressive strength, volumetric ratio, lateral reinforcement yield strength, and confinement type on lateral strain-axial strain curves was investigated. Through parameter analysis, it indicated that with the same level of axial strain, the lateral strain slightly increased with the increase in the unconfined concrete compressive strength, but decreased with the increase in volumetric ratio significantly. The lateral reinforcement yield strength had slight influence on lateral strain-axial strain curves. At the same level of lateral strain, the axial strain of specimen with spiral was larger than that of specimen with stirrup. Furthermore, a lateral strain-axial strain model for concrete columns confined by lateral reinforcement under axial compression was proposed by introducing the effects of unconfined concrete compressive strength, volumetric ratio, confinement type and effective confining pressure, which showed good agreement with the experimental results.

The main role of studs, which act as connectors of the steel-concrete composite structures, is to ensure that the steel and the concrete work together as a whole. The studs in steel-concrete composite structures bear the shearing force in the majority of cases, but in certain locations, such as the mid-span of a simply supported composite beam, the studs bear axial uplift force. The previous studies mainly focused on the shearing performance of the stud by some experimental and theoretical effort. However, rare studies involved the uplift performance of studs. In this paper, the single stud uplift test on 10 composite specimens was performed. Meanwhile, based on the test, numerical analysis was introduced to simulate the concrete damage process due to the stud uplifted from concrete. The static ultimate bearing capacity, under which the stud connector was pulled out from the damaged reinforced concrete, is much larger than the cyclic ultimate bearing capacity, under which the weld joint between stud and steel plate fractured. According to the fatigue test results of 7 specimens, the fatigue S-N curve of the construction detail after minus 2 times standard deviation is $logN=24.011-9.171\;log{\Delta}{\sigma}$, the fatigue strength corresponding to $2{\times}10^6$ cycles is 85.33 MPa.

There are separate merits and demerits to wood and steel. The combination of wood and steel as a compound section is able to improve the properties of both and ultimately increase their final bearing capacity. The composite cross-section made of steel and wood has higher hardness while showing more ductility and the local buckling of steel is delayed or completely prevented. The purpose of this study is to investigate the behavior of composite columns enclosed in wooden logs and the hollow sections of steel that will be examined in a laboratory environment under the axial load to determine the final bearing capacity and sample deformation. In terms of methodology, steel sheet and carbon fiber reinforced polymer sheet (FRP) are tested to construct hollow rectangular sections and reinforce timber. Besides, the method of connecting hollow sections and timber including glue and screw has been also investigated. As a result, timber lumber enclosed with carbon fiber-reinforced polymer sheets in which fibers are horizontally located at 90° are more resistant with better ductility.

As a new type of concrete material, basic magnesium sulfate cement concrete (BMSC) has the advantages, such as early strength, high strength, good toughness and crack resistance. However, it is unclear about the degradation of the mechanical properties of BMSC columns, which is exposed to the natural environment for several years. In order to apply this new concrete to practical engineering, six large-eccentricity compressive columns of BMSC were studied. The mechanical properties such as the crack propagation, failure morphology, lateral displacement and bearing capacity of BMSC column were studied. The results show that the degradation rate of ultimate load of BMSC column is from 6% to 7%. The degradation rate of the stiffness of the column is from 6% to 13%. With the increase of compressive strength of BMSC, the axial displacement and lateral displacement are gradually reduced. The calculation model of bearing capacity of the BMSC column under the large eccentric compression is proposed. This paper provides a reference for the application of BMSC columns in the civil engineering.

사질토를 지나 풍화암에 4D 소켓된 매입 PHC말뚝에 대한 매개변수 수치해석 자료를 분석하여 지지력 표해 및 도해(I)이 제안된 바 있다(Choi et al., 2019a). 본 논문에서는 이를 활용하여 직경의 5% 침하량에서 발현되는 동원지지력을 산정할 수 있는 새로운 산정공식을 제안하였다. 제안식은 두 가지이며, 그 중에서 EQ-G1 제안식은 각각의 상대근입길이(L/D)에서 말뚝직경과 ${\bar{N}}$값(보정 N 값)을 고려하여 각 지지력 성분을 평가하며, 검증 결과는 다음과 같다. RQP는 약 71~94%로 나타났으며, 이는 일반 설계에서 사용하고 있는 지지력 산정공식으로 구한 SRF(26~37%)보다 큰 값을 나타냈다. RQP는 적정 설계의 범위로 분포하였는데, 4개 사례에서는 78, 136, 142, 180%로 나타났다. D_E는 β₁에 따라 달라질 수는 있는데, 본 연구에서는 0.85로 가정하였으므로 D_E는 약 85%로 나타났다. 따라서 본 연구에서 제안한 EQ-G1 제안식을 사용하여 PHC말뚝 몸체의 허용압축하중(P_all)까지 활용할 수 있는 적정설계를 수행할 수 있는 것으로 판단된다. 그리고 EQ-G2-3 제안식은 D, ${\bar{N}}$ 및 L/D를 동시에 고려하여 지지력 성분들을 평가할 수 있으며, 매입 PHC말뚝에서 지반의 압축지지력 산정 시 근사해법으로 활용할 수 있다.

최근에 시공된 건축현장의 73개 설계 자료를 분석하여 매입 PHC말뚝에 대한 설계 현황을 고찰하였다. 매입 PHC말뚝의 설계에서 사용하고 있는 극한지지력 산정공식에 따라 산정한 전체지지력에 대한 주면마찰력의 분담율(SRF)는 20~53%로 나타났다. 극한주면마찰력이 과소평가되는 지지력 산정공식에 대한 개선이 필요한 것으로 판단되었다. PHC말뚝의 재료 성능에 대한 평균 설계 효율은 약 70%이었으며 지반 지지력에 대한 평균 설계 효율은 약 80%이었다. 즉, 지반의 설계 효율은 PHC말뚝의 설계 효율보다 약간 높은 수준으로 나타나고 있었다. 이는 지반 지지력을 설계하중보다 동등한 수준 또는 그것보다 약간 높은 수준으로 계산하고 있는 설계 현황에 기인한 것으로 판단되었다. 지반의 허용지지력을 PHC말뚝의 허용연직압축하중보다 높은 수준으로 산정하여야 할 것으로 판단되었다. 매입 PHC말뚝의 지지력 산정공식에서는 극한주면마찰력이 극한선단지지력보다 상대적으로 2.2배 정도 낮은 수준으로 계산되었다. 매입 PHC말뚝의 설계에서 적용하고 있는 극한지지력 산정공식들은 모두 국외 지반을 대상으로 개발되었으며 국내 지반에 대한 적용성 검증 없이 도입되어 사용되어 오고 있었다. 매입 PHC말뚝의 설계에서 적용할 지지력 산정공식의 개선이 이루어져야 할 것으로 판단되었다.

In this paper, the influence of axial compression ratio on the mechanical properties of new type joints of side span of rectangular concrete-filled steel tubular column-H-type steel beam is studied. Two new types of side-span joints of rectangular concrete-filled steel tubular column-H-type steel beam are designed and quasi-static tests of five new type joints with 1:2 scale reduction ratios are performed. The axial compression ratio of joint JD1 is 0.3, 0.4 and 0.5, and the axial compression ratio of joint JD2 is 0.3 and 0.5. In the joint test, different axial forces were applied to the top of the column according to different axial compression ratios, and low-cyclic reciprocating load was applied on the beam. The stress and strain distribution, beam and column deformation, limit state, failure process, failure mechanism, stiffness degradation, ductile deformation and energy dissipation capacity of the joint were measured and analyzed. The results show that: with the increase of axial compression ratio, the ultimate bearing capacity of the joint decreases slightly, the plastic deformation decreases, and the stiffness and ductility decrease. According to the energy dissipation curve of the specimen, the equivalent damping coefficient also increases with the increase of axial compression ratio in a certain range, indicating that the increase of axial compression ratio can improve the seismic performance of the joint to a certain extent. The finite element method is used to simulate the joint test, and the test results are in good agreement with the simulation results.
