In this study, the steel strip reinforcement bolted with braced angles is displayed skin friction resistance as well as passive resistance through existing the steel strip reinforcement. To understand pullout behavior characteristics, friction effects between soil and reinforcement are evaluated with the width of reinforcement, magnitude of surcharge, and existence of passive resistance member through laboratory pullout test. To analyze interference effects for passive resistance member, various tests are carried on case that the number, the location, and the spacing of braced angles are different. Using this test result, pullout resistance factor is calculated to consider location of braced angles and degree of interference for spacing ratio.

본 연구에서는, 기존 강재스트립 보강재의 표면마찰저항력 이외에도 지지저항력의 발휘가 동시에 예상되는 새로운 형태의 버팀재 볼트 접합형 강재스트립 보강재가 제시되었으며, 이에 대한 인발거동특성을 파악하기 위해 실내인발시험을 통하여 보강재의 폭, 상재하중의 크기 및 지지저항부재 유무 등이 흙과 보강재 사이의 마찰특성에 미치는 영향을 평가하였다. 또한 수동저항부재간의 상호간섭효과 등을 분석하기 위해, 지지저항부재의 설치개수와 위치 및 간격 등을 달리한 여러 조건 하에서 시험을 실시하였고, 이와 같은 시험결과를 바탕으로 하여 버팀재의 위치와 간격비에 따른 상호간섭의 영향 등이 고려된 인발저항계수 산정식을 제시하였다.

Buckling Restrained Braced (BRB) frames have been widely used as an efficient seismic load resisting system in recent years mostly due to their symmetric and stable hysteretic behavior and significant energy dissipation capacity. In this study, to provide a better understanding of the behavior of BRB frames with various beam-column connections, a numerical study using non-linear finite element (FE) analysis is conducted. All models are implemented in the Abaqus software package following an explicit formulation. Initially, the results of the FE model are verified with experimental data. Then, diverse beam-column connections are modeled for the sake of comparison from the shear capacity, energy dissipation and frame hysteresis behavior points of view until appropriate performance is assessed. The considered connections are divided into three different categories: (1) simple beam-column connections including connection by web angle and connection by seat angle; (2) semi-rigid connection including connection by web and seat angles; and (3) rigid beam-column connections by upper-lower beam plates and beam connections with web and flange splices. Results of the non-linear FE analyses show that these types of beam-column connections have little effect on the maximum story drift and shear capacity of BRB frames. However, the connection type has a significant effect on the amount of energy dissipation and hysteresis behavior of BRB frames. Also, changes in length and thickness of the angles in simple and semi-rigid connections and changes in length and thickness of plates in rigid connections have slight effects (less than 4%) on the overall frame behavior.

Non-moment beam-to-column connections, which are usually referred to as simple or shear connections, are typically designed to carry only gravity loads in the form of vertical shears. Although in the analysis of structures these connections are usually assumed to be pinned, they may provide a small amount of rotational stiffness due to the typical connection details. This paper investigates the effects of this small rotational restraint of simple beam-to-column connections on the behavior and seismic response of steel braced non-moment resisting frames. Two types of commonly used simple connections with bolted angles, i.e., the Double Web angle Connection (DWC) and Unstiffened Seat angle Connection (USC) are considered for this purpose. In addition to the pinned condition - as a simplified representation of these connections - more accurate semi-rigid models are established and then applied to some frame models subjected to nonlinear pushover and nonlinear time history analyses. Although the use of bracing elements generally reduces the sensitivity of the global structural response to the behavior of connections, the obtained results indicate considerable effects on the local responses. Namely, our results show that consideration of the real behavior of connections is essential in designing the column elements where the pin-connection assumption significantly underestimates design of outer columns of upper stories.

Concentrically braced frames (CBFs) possess high stiffness and strength against lateral loads; however, they suffer from low energy absorption capacity against seismic loads due to the susceptibility of CBF diagonal elements to bucking under compression loading. To address this problem, in this study, an innovative damper was proposed and investigated experimentally and numerically. The proposed damper comprises main plates and includes a flange plate angled at θ and a trapezius-shaped web plate surrounded by the plate at the top and bottom sections. To investigate the damper behaviour, dampers with θ = 0°, 30°, 45°, 60°, and 90° were evaluated with different flange plate thicknesses of 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30 mm. Dampers with θ = 0° and 90° create rectangular-shaped and I-shaped shear links, respectively. The results indicate that the damper with θ = 30° exhibits better performance in terms of ultimate strength, stiffness, overstrength, and distribution stress over the damper as compared to dampers with other angles. The hysteresis curves of the dampers confirm that the proposed damper acts as a ductile fuse. Furthermore, the web and flange plates contribute to the shear resistance, with the flange carrying approximately 80% and 10% of the shear force for dampers with θ = 30° and 90°, respectively. Moreover, dampers that have a larger flange-plate shear strength than the shear strength of the web exhibit behaviours in linear and nonlinear zones. In addition, the over-strength obtained for the damper was greater than 1.5 (proposed by AISC for shear links). Relevant relationships are determined to predict and design the damper and the elements outside it.

비정형 초고층 건물의 계획 및 시공이 늘어남에 따라 이 연구에서는 프로토타입 모델에 대한 시공단계해석의 적용을 통하여 비정형 초고층 건물의 시공 중 구조적 거동을 분석하고자 하였다. 비틀림 초고층 건물을 대상으로 횡력저항시스템, 비틀림각도, 공법 조건에 따른 총 18개의 모델을 선정하였다. 횡력저항시스템으로는 다이아그리드 시스템과 가새튜브 시스템을 적용하였으며, 각 횡력저항시스템별로 $0^{\circ}$, $1^{\circ}$, $2^{\circ}$ 비틀림각도를 갖는 세 가지 평면 형태와 외곽 튜브와 내부 골조의 시공순서에 따른 세 가지 공법을 가정하였다. 시공 중인 초고층 건물의 구조적 성능은 시공단계해석의 횡변위 결과를 통하여 분석되었으며, 골조 공기와 최대 양중량과 같은 시공성능이 함께 비교되었다.
