A nonlinear semi-three-dimensional layered finite element procedure is developed for cracking and failure analysis of reinforced concrete beams and the spandrel beam-column-slab connections of flat plates. The layered element approach takes the elasto-plastic failure behaviour and geometric nonlinearity into consideration. A strain-hardening plasticity concrete model and a smeared steel model are incorporated into the layered element formulation. Further, shear failure, transverse reinforcement, spandrel beams and columns are successfully modelled. The proposed method incorporating the nonlinear constitutive models for concrete and steel is implemented in a finite element program. Test specimens including a series of reinforced concrete beams and beam-column-slab connections of flat plates are analysed. Results confirm the effectiveness and accuracy of the layered procedure in predicting both flexural and shear cracking up to failure.

In this study, the seismic performance of connections between filled composite beam (CG beams) and forming angle composite (FAC) column was experimentally evaluated. First, the bending tests were conducted on two CG beams and the axial tests were conducted on two FAC columns. Then, based on these preliminary test results, the cyclic loading test were performed on two interior connections between CG beam and FAC column. The main difference of two specimens is the plate shape of the CG beam. The test results showed that both specimens achieved the maximum story drift capacity over 0.04 radian which is required for special moment frame.

Depending on the damage type as well as the level of damage observed after the earthquake, certain measures should be taken for the damaged buildings. In this study, structural repairing of two different types of damaged RC beam-column assembly by carbon fiber-reinforced polymer sheets is investigated in detail as a member repairing technique. Two types of 1:1 scale test specimens, which represent the exterior RC beam-column connection taken from inflection points of the frame, are utilized. The first specimen is designed according to the current Turkish Earthquake Code, whereas the second one represents a deficient RC beam-column assembly. Both of the specimens were subjected to cyclic quasistatic loading in the laboratory and different levels of structural damage were observed. The first specimen displayed a ductile response with the damage concentrated in the beam. However, in the second specimen, the beam-column joint was severely damaged while the rest of the members did not attain their capacities. Depending on the damage type of the specimens, the damaged members were repaired by CFRP wrapping with different configurations. After testing the repaired specimens, it is found that former capacities of the damaged members were mostly recovered by the application of CFRPs on the damaged members.

The behavior of moment resistant steel structures depends on both the beam-column connections and columns foundations connections. Obviously, if the connections can meet the adequate ductility and resistance against lateral loads, the seismic capacity of these structures will be linked practically to the performance of these connections. The shape memory alloys (SMAs) have been most recently used as a means of energy dissipation in buildings. The main approach adopted by researchers in the use of such alloys is firstly bracing, and secondly connecting the beams to columns. Additionally, the behavior of these alloys is modeled in software applications rarely involving equivalent torsional springs and column-foundation connections. This paper attempts to introduce the shape memory alloys and their applications in steel structural connections, proposing a new steel column-foundation connection, not merely a theoretical model but practically a realistic and applicable model in structures. Moreover, it entails the same functionality as macro modeling software based on real behavior, which can use different materials to establish a connection between the columns and foundations. In this paper, the suggested steel column-foundation connection was introduced. Moreover, exploring the seismic dynamic behavior under cyclic loading protocols and the famous earthquake records with different materials such as steel and interconnection equipment by superelastic shape memory alloys have been investigated. Then, the results were compared to demonstrate that such connections are ideal against the seismic behavior and energy dissipation.

본 연구의 목적은 CFT각형기둥과의 접합에 성능이 개선된 합성 반강접 접합디테일을 제안하고 기둥-보 접합부의 단조가력시 역학적 거동을 보기 위함이다. 극한 거동에 결정적 영향을 끼치는 하부 접합부의 전단내력을 보강하고 시공성을 고려하여 합성 반강접 접합을 CFT구조 형식에 시도하여 CFT기둥-보 접합부의 접합디테일을 제안하였다. 본 연구에서 제안하는 하부 보 플랜지 용접접합(M-2)을 기존 합성 반강접 접합상세인 시트앵글접합(M-1)과 비교/검토하였다. 두 개의 실대형 CFT기둥-보 합성 반강접 접합부 실험체에 대한 단조가력실험을 수행하였다. 실험 결과, 제안형인 하부 보플랜지 용접접합된 실험체는 강접합된 철골보의 약 85%의 강성을 확보하였다. 이는 기존형 실험체와 거의 동일하였으며, 반강접으로 분류됨을 확인할 수 있었다. 제안형 실험체가 웨브 접합부에서 볼트지압에 의한 전단파괴가 발생하였으나 파단 직전까지는 슬래브 연성파괴가 일어난 기존형 실험체와 유사한 거동을 보였다. 슬래브 보강근에 의해 충분한 강성 및 내력이 확보되며, 웨브부분의 강관내의 앵커보강에 의해 전소성모멘트에 상응하는 내력 및 변형성능이 확보되어 충분한 연성거동을 보이는 것으로 판단된다.

One of the most promising ways through which a steel moment frame may attain high energy dissipating capability is to trim off a portion of the beam flanges near the column face. This type of moment connection, known as Reduced Beam Section (RBS) connection, has notable superiority in comparison with other moment connection types. As the result of the advantages of RBS moment connection, it has widely being used in practice. In spite of the good hysteretic behaviour, an RBS beam suffers from an undesirable drawback, which is local and lateral instability of the beam. The instability in the RBS beam reduces beam load-carrying capacity. This paper aims to investigate key issues influencing cyclic behaviour of RBS beams. To this end, a numerical analysis was conducted on a series of steel subassemblies with various geometric properties. The obtained results together with the existing experimental data are used to study the instability of RBS beams. A new slenderness concept is presented to control an RBS beam for combined local and lateral instability. This concept is in good agreement with the numerical and experimental results. Finally, a model is developed for the prediction of the magnitude of moment degradation owing to the instability of an RBS beam.

각형강관 기둥은 H형강에 비해서 구조효율성이 높고, 많은 장점이 있음에도 불구하고, 접합 디테일의 부족 및 경험 부족 등의 이유로 현장에서 적용이 제한적이다. 각형강관 기둥을 사용한 기존의 모멘트 접합부는 관통형 다이아프램, 내/외측 다이어프램 형식 등이 있으며 일반적으로 관통형 다이어프램을 사용하고 있다. 이는 시공과정이 복잡하여 현장에서의 적용을 어렵게 한다. 그러므로 이 연구에서는 원사이드 볼트를 적용하여 각형강관 기둥의 절단 및 용접을 하지 않는 접합상세에 대한 구조성능 및 내진성능을 평가하고자 하였다.

이 연구에서는 프리캐스트 콘크리트(PC) U형 쉘을 사용하는 PC 모멘트 골조의 일부인 보-기둥 내부접합부의 내진성능을 평가하기 위하여 실험연구를 수행하였다. 5개의 PC 보-기둥 내부접합부와 1개의 현장타설 콘크리트 보-기둥 내부접합부를 실물 크기로 제작하여 반복가력 실험을 수행하였다. 주요 변수는 보 주철근비, 보 전단철근 간격, U형 PC쉘과 기둥 모서리의 보강철물 설치 유무이다. 실험 결과, 변수에 관계없이 PC 보-기둥 접합부는 현장타설 콘크리트 보-기둥 접합부와 비교하여 유사한 하중재하능력, 연성능력을 나타냈다. 그러나 주기 하중동안 PC 보-기둥 접합부는 보-기둥 이음부에서 보 주철근의 부착파괴로 인한 미끄러짐 변형과 대각방향의 전단균열로 인하여 심한 강도 저하를 나타냈고, 이로 인해 현장타설 콘크리트 보-기둥 접합부보다 접합부의 강성과 에너지소산능력이 감소되었다.

As an extremely destructive accident, progressive collapse is defined as the spread of an initial local failure from element to element, resulting eventually in the collapse of an entire structure or disproportionately large of it. To prevent the occurrence of it and evaluate the ability of structure resisting progressive collapse, the nonlinear static procedure is usually adopted in the whole structure design process, which considered dynamic effect by utilizing Dynamic Increase Factor (DIF). In current researches, the determining of DIF is performed in full-rigid frame, however, the performance of beam-column connection in the majority of existing frame structures is not full-rigid. In this study, based on the component method proposed by EC3 guideline, the expression of extended endplate connection performance is further derived, and the connection performance is taken into consideration when evaluated the performance of structure resisting progressive collapse by applying the revised plastic P-M hinge. The DIF for structures with extended endplate beam-column connection have been determined and compared with the DIF permitted in current GSA guideline, the necessity of considering connection stiffness in determining the DIF have been proved.
