The harmony search method based optimum design algorithm is presented for geometrically non-linear semi-rigid steel frames. Harmony search method is recently developed metaheuristic algorithm which simulates the process of producing a musical performance. The optimum design algorithm aims at obtaining minimum weight steel frames by selecting from standard set of steel sections such as European wide flange beams (HE sections). Strength constraints of Turkish Building Code for Steel Structures (TS648) specification and displacement constraints were used in the optimum design formulation. The optimum design algorithm takes into account both the geometric non-linearity of the frame members and the semi-rigid behaviour of the beam-to-column connections. The Frye-Morris polynomial model is used to calculate the moment-rotation relation of beam-to-column connections. The robustness of harmony search algorithm, in comparison with genetic algorithms, is verified with two benchmark examples. The comparisons revealed that the harmony search algorithm yielded not only minimum weight steel frames but also required less computational effort for the presented examples.

횡보강근이 적게 포함된 보통강도 철근콘크리트 보-기둥 접합부에서 강섬유의 보강효과에 관한 실험적 연구를 진행하였다. 이를 규명하기 위해 총 10개의 접합부 실험체를 제작하였으며, 접합부 횡보강근량과 강섬유 혼입률($V_f$ = 0%, 1%, 1.5%)을 주요변수로 실험하였다. 실험은 총 19싸이클의 반복주기하중의 형태로 가력되었으며 각 싸이클의 반복회수는 2싸이클씩 준정적 지진하중의 형태로 적용되었다. 실험 결과를 통해 보통 강도 철근콘크리트 보-기둥 접합부에 강섬유를 보강함으로써 횡보강근 감소에 따른 피해정도를 어느 정도 줄일 수 있다는 결론을 얻었고, 또한 강섬유 보강으로 접합부 전단강도를 증가시킬 수 있고 동시에 에너지소산능력을 향상시킬 수 있다는 결론을 도출하였다. 보다 정량적인 평가를 위해 이 연구의 시험체들과 기존의 보-기둥 접합부 RC 시험체들에서 측정된 최대 접합부 전단강도값과 ACI 352R-02의 설계기준식, Jiuru et al.의 제안식, 그리고 Kim et al.의 제안식을 비교 분석하였다. 이러한 분석 결과 Jiuru et al.의 전단강도 제안식이 실험 결과를 과대평가하는데 반해 Kim et al.의 전단강도 제안식은 모든 시험체에 대해 안정적인 결과와 적은 오차범위를 나타내었다. 따라서, 이 연구를 바탕으로 해서 적절한 접합부 배근상세와 함께 강섬유 보강 철근콘크리트 보-기둥 접합부에 대한 추가적인 연구가 진행된다면, 횡보강근의 감소를 통한 시공의 어려움 해소 및 내진성능의 향상이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

Frame is one of the most commonly used structural systems for the resistance of applied loads. Many researchers have recently conducted their studies to investigate the effect of several parameters such as the connection flexibility, boundary condition of each support, beam-to-column stiffness ratio. These parameters play important roles on the characteristic behavior of frames. A simplified spring model is proposed to obtain the story drifts of frames with various beam-to-column connection stiffnesses in this research. A point bracing system with adequate spring stiffness is also suggested to establish the relationship between the applied load and the resisting translational spring stiffness within the limit state of story drift.

The analysis and design of skeletal structures is greatly influenced by the behaviour of beam-to-column connections, where patented designs have led to a wide range of types with differing structural quantities. The behaviour of beam-to-column connections plays an important role in the analysis and design of framed structures. This paper presents an overview of the influence of connection behaviour on structural stability, in the in-plane (bending) mode of sway. A computer-based method is presented for geometrically nonlinear plane frames with semi-rigid connections accounting for shear deformations. The analytical procedure employs transcendental modified stability functions to model the effect of axial force on the stiffness of members. The member stiffness matrix were found. The critical load has been searched as a suitable load parameter for the loss of stability of the system. Several examples are presented to demonstrate the validity of the analysis procedure. The method is readily implemented on a computer using matrix structural analysis techniques and is applicable for the efficient nonlinear analysis of frameworks. Combined with a parametric column effective length study, connection and frame stiffness are used to propose a method for the analysis of semi-rigid frames where column effective lengths are greatly reduced and second order (deflection induced) bending moments in the column may be distributed via the connectors to the beams, leading to significant economies.

상자형보와 윈형기둥으로 구성된 강재교각 정합부의 응력평가식 제안에 대한 연구이다. 원형기둥을 각형으로 치환하여 사용하고 있는 기존의 응력평가식은 정합각도가 감소함에 따라 전단지언능력은 과소평가되고, 전단응력은 접협각도가 증가함에 따라 과대하게 평가되는 문제점이 있다. 따라서 이라한 문제점 을 보완하기 위해 다양한 매개변수, 즉 접합각도 (${\alpha}$), 전단지간/보의 폭비 (L/B) 기둥의 휨강성/보의 휨강성비 (k) 를 사용하여 유한요소해석을 수행하고 해석결과를 이용하여 기존 응력평가식의 문제점을 보완할 수 있는 응력평가식을 제안하였다. 한편, 허용응력 대비 극한내하력의 안전율을 검토하기 위해 재료 및 기하 비선형해석을 수행하여 제안식의 타당성을 확인하였다.

본 연구의 목적은 강 - PC 복합모듈 골조를 구성하는 프레스 성형된 비대칭 기둥과 보 접합부의 구조적 성능을 평가하는 것이다. 모듈러 골조를 구성하는 대부분의 접합부는 폐쇄형의 사각형 강재 기둥 단면을 주로 사용한다. 폐쇄형의 기둥 단면을 사용한 기둥-보 접합부는 시공성을 감소시키고 내화성을 확보하는데 어려움이 있다. 이러한 단점을 극복하기 위하여 강판을 프레스로 성형하여 비대칭 개방형 단면 내에 콘크리트를 충진하는 것이다. 프레스 성형된 비대칭 기둥-보 접합부의 구조적 성능을 조사하기 위해 총 4개의 실험체를 제작하였다. 실험결과, 비대칭 기둥의 구조적 성능과 거동이 비대칭 기둥 단면이 합성되는지 또는 기둥의 폭-두께 비율에 따라 달라지는지를 보여주었다. 프레스 성형된 비대칭 기둥-보 접합부의 구조적 성능은 실험결과와 이론식을 비교하여 평가하였다.

The panel shear and bearing strengths determining the seismic resistance of reinforced concrete column-to-steel beam connections are predicted by various methods for four previously tested exterior beam-column joints. The analytical approach to model the joint deformation is also examined. Several analyses incorporating the deformations of panel shear and bearing in the joint are demonstrated using a analyses incorporating the deformations of panel shear and bearing in the joint are demonstrated using a fairly simple connection model in the commercial packages such as Drain2dx and IDARC. The strength prediction results indicated that the ASCE method with the modifcation of the comprssion strut contribution is th most accurate. It is also considered that the analytical model presented including the joint deformation can be used for the overall analysis

A macro-element model is developed to account for shear deformation and bond slip of reinforcement bars in the beam-column joint region of reinforced concrete structures. The joint region is idealized by two springs in series, one representing shear deformation and the other representing bond slip. The softened truss model theory is adopted to establish the shear force-shear deformation relationship and to determine the shear capacity of the joint. A detailed model for the bond slip of the reinforcing bars at the beam-column interface is presented. The proposed macro-element model of the joint is validated using available experimental data on beam-column connections representing exterior joints in ductile and nonductile frames.

The purpose of this paper is to propose a new type of steel reinforced concrete (SRC) beam-column joints and to examine the structural performance of the proposed joints, which simplify the construction procedure of steel fabrication, welding works, concrete casting and joint strengthening. In the proposed beam-column joints, the steel element of columns forms continuously built-in crossing of H-sections (${\Box}$), with adjacent flanges of column being connected by horizontal stiffeners in a joint at the level of the beam flanges. In addition, simplified lateral reinforcement (${\Box}$) is adopted in a joint to confine the longitudinal reinforcing bars in columns. Experimental and analytical studies have been carried out to estimate the structural performance of the proposed joints. Twelve cruciform specimens and seven SRC beam-column subassemblage specimens were prepared and tested. The following can be concluded from this study: (1) SRC subassemblages with the proposed beam-column joints show adequate seismic performances which are superior to the demand of the current code; (2) The yield and ultimate strength capacities of the beam-to-column connections can be estimated by analysis based on the yield line theory; (3) The skeleton curves and the ultimate shear capacities of the beam-column joint panel are predicted with a fair degree of accuracy by considering a simple stress transfer mechanism.

Box sections are symmetrical sections and they have high moment of inertia in both directions, therefore they are good members in tall building structures. For the rigid connection in structures with box column continuity plates are used on level of beam flanges in column. Assembly of the continuity plates is a difficult and unreliable work due to lack of weld or high welding and cutting in the fourth side of column in panel zone, so the use of experimental stiffeners have been considered by researchers. This paper presented an experimental investigation on connection in box columns. The proposed connection has been investigated in four cases which contain connection without internal and external stiffeners(C-0-00), connection with continuity plates(C-I-CP), connection with external vase shape stiffener (C-E-VP) and connection with surrounding plates(C-E-SP). The results show that the connections with vase plates and surrounding plates can respectively increase the ultimate strength of the connection up to 366% and 518% than the connection without stiffeners, in case connection with the continuity plates this parameter increases about 39%. In addition, the proposed C-E-VP and C-E-SP connection provide a rigid and safe connection to acquire rigidity of 95% and 98% respectively. But C-I-CP connection is classified as semi-rigid connections.
