This paper presents the results of a series of tests carried out on cold-formed steel rectangular hollow and concrete infilled beam to column connections and frames. A stub column was chosen such that overall buckling does not influence the connection behaviour. The beam chosen was a short-span cantilever with a concentrated load applied at the free end. The beam was connected to the columns along the strong and weak axes of columns and these connections were tested to failure. Twelve experiments were conducted on cold-formed steel direct welded tubular beam to column connections and twelve experiments on connections with concrete infilled column subjected to monotonic loading. In all the experiments conducted, the stiffness of the connection, the ductility characteristics and the moment rotation behaviour were studied. The dominant mode of failure in hollow section connections was chord face yielding and not weld failure. Provision of concrete infill increases the stiffness and the ultimate moment carrying capacity substantially, irrespective of the axis of loading of the column. Weld failure and bearing failure due to transverse compression occurred in connections with concrete infilled columns. Six single-bay two storied frames both with and without concrete infill, and columns loaded along the major and minor axes were tested to failure. Concentrated load was applied at the midspan of first floor beam. The change in behaviour of the frame due to provision of infill in the column and in the entire frame was compared with hollow frames. Failure of the weld at the junction of the beam occurred for frames with infilled columns. Design expressions are suggested for the yielding of the column face in hollow sections and bearing failure in infilled columns which closely predicted the experimental failure loads.

내력벽시스템에 사용되는 연결보는 횡변위 조절을 위하여 효과적으로 사용되는 요소이나, 단면의 폭과 춤이 시스템에 의하여 제한되므로 연성능력을 향상시키기 위한 철근의 상세처리가 어럽다. 이러한 이유로 지진에 의하여 횡력이 발생할 경우 가장 먼저 연결보에 손상이 발생하게 될 것이므로, 본 연구에서는 연결보가 있는 내력벽 시스템의 성능을 평가하고자 하였다. 이러한 성능평가는 FEMA 400의 수정된 등가 선형의 절차에 의하여 수행되었다. 평가를 위한 모델은 15층이고 연결보의 강성은 변동이 없으며 질량을 변화하여 구조물의 주기를 변화하였다. 요구 스펙트럼 산정은 KBC 2005의 계수를 곱하지 않은 스펙트럼을 사용하였다. 성능 평가 결과로서, 토질 SD에 대하여 대부분의 모델에서 인명안전 수준에서 검토된 연결보의 제한 변위가 성능점 보다 작게 나타났다. 전반적으로 시스템의 주기가 짧아질수록 연결보의 손상도에 의하여 성능점이 감소되는 현상을 나타내었다.
