This paper researches a lightweight composite structure referred to as the Profiled Steel Sheeting Dry Board (PSSDB). It is fundamentally produced by connecting a Profiled Steel Sheeting to Dry Board using mechanical screws. It is mainly employed as floor panels. However, almost all studies have focused on researching the one-way structural performance. Therefore, this study focuses on the bending behaviour of the two-way PSSDB floor system using both of Finite Element (FE) and Experimental analysis. Four panels were used in the experimental tests, and a mild steel plate has been applied at the bottom for two panels. For the FE process, models were created using ABAQUS software. 4 parametric studies have been utilized to understand the system's influential elements. From the experimental tests, it was found that using Steel Plate shall optimize the two-way action of the system and depending on the type of dry board the improvement in stiffness may reach up to 38%. It was shown from the FE analysis that the dry board, profiled steel sheeting and steel plat can affect the system by up to 10 %, 17% and 3% respectively, while applying a uniform load demonstrate a better two-way action.

Conventional seismic design of concentrically braced frame (CBF) structures suggests that the gusset plate connecting a steel brace to beams and/or columns should be designed as non-dissipative in earthquakes, while the steel brace members should be designed as dissipative elements. These design intentions lead to thicker and larger gusset plates in design on one hand and a potentially under-rated contribution of gusset plates in design, on the other hand. In contrast, research has shown that compact and thinner gusset plates designed in accordance with the elliptical clearance method rather than the conventional standard linear clearance method can enhance system ductility and energy dissipation capacity in concentrically braced steel frames. In order to assess the two design methods, six cyclic push-over tests on full scale models of concentric braced steel frame structures were conducted. Furthermore, a 3D finite element (FE) shell model, incorporating state-of-the-art tools and techniques in numerical simulation, was developed that successfully replicates the response of gusset plate and bracing members under fully reversed cyclic axial loading. Direct measurements from strain gauges applied to the physical models were used primarily to validate FE models, while comparisons of hysteresis load-displacement loops from physical and numerical models were used to highlight the overall performance of the FE models. The study shows the two design methods attain structural response as per the design intentions; however, the elliptical clearance method has a superiority over the standard linear method as a fact of improving detailing of the gusset plates, enhancing resisting capacity and improving deformability of a CBF structure. Considerations were proposed for improvement of guidelines for detailing gusset plates and bracing members in CBF structures.

The connection system of steel pile and RC footing is an important structure, because the total load of upper construction should be transferred through this joint construction of different two materials-steel and RC-with strongly changed section area. Although many connection systems have been developed, their structural and economical efficiency and workability are often insufficient. Therefore, a new connecting system was developed to improve the problems of current systems. The divided arc plate could improve the workability and economical efficiency, structural efficiency could be reached by welding construction. The main purpose of the research is to evaluate the structural behavior of the new designed connection system through experiments and numerical analysis.

The end plates of fuel cell assemblies are used to fasten the inner stacks, reduce the contact pressure, and provide a seal between Membrane-Electrode Assemblies (MEAs). They therefore require sufficient mechanical strength to withstand the tightening pressure, light weight to obtain high energy densities, and stable chemical/electrochemical properties, as well as provide electrical insulation. The design criteria for end plates can be divided into three parts: the material, connecting method, and shape. In the past, end plates were made from metals such as aluminum, titanium, and stainless steel alloys, but due to corrosion problems, thermal losses, and their excessive weight, alternative materials such as plastics have been considered. Composite materials consisting of combinations of two or more materials have also been proposed for end plates to enhance their mechanical strength. Tie-rods have been traditionally used to connect end plates, but since the number of connecting parts has increased, resulting in assembly difficulties, new types of connectors have been contemplated. Ideas such as adding reinforcement or flat plates, or using bands or boxes to replace tie-rods have been proposed. Typical end plates are rectangular or cylindrical solid plates. To minimize the weight and provide a uniform pressure distribution, new concepts such as ribbed-, bomb-, or bow-shaped plates have been considered. Even though end plates were not an issue in fuel cell system designs in the past, they now provide a great challenge for designers. Changes in the materials, connecting methods, and shapes of an end plate allow us to achieve lighter, stronger end plates, resulting in more efficient fuel cell systems.

The infill walls, whose contribution to the earthquake resistance of a structure is generally ignored due to their limited lateral rigidities, constitute a part of the lateral load bearing system of an RC frame structure. A common method for improving the earthquake behavior of RC frame structures is increasing the contribution of the infill walls to the overall lateral rigidity by strengthening them through different techniques. The present study investigates the influence of externally bonded perforated steel plates on the load capacities, rigidities, and ductilities of hollow brick infill walls. For this purpose, a reference (unstrengthened) and twelve strengthened specimens were subjected to monotonic diagonal compression. The experiments indicated that the spacing of the bolts, connecting the plates to the wall, have a more profound effect on the behavior of a brick wall compared to the thickness of the strengthening plates. Furthermore, an increase in the plate thickness was shown to result in a considerable improvement in the behavior of the wall only if the plates are connected to the wall with closely-spaced bolts. This strengthening technique was found to increase the energy absorption capacities of the walls between 4 and 14 times the capacity of the reference wall. The strengthened walls reached ultimate loads 30-160% greater than the reference wall and all strengthened walls remained intact till the end of the test.

철근콘크리트 기둥-철골 보 합성골조는 철근콘크리트와 철골부재의 재료적인 장점을 살린 합리적인 구조물이나, 이질 재료간의 접합으로 인해 보-기둥 접합부의 설계와 해석에서는 많은 구조적인 문제점들이 생기게 된다. 이 연구에서는 철골 보의 하중이 콘크리트 기둥으로 원활히 전달되면서 현장 시공성이 우수한 새로운 형태의 합성골조 접합부의 형식을 제안하고자 한다. 이 연구에서 고안된 접합부는 H 형강을 반분한 T 형강을 시스템 내부 및 외부의 모든 응력 전달 요소를 연결하는 주요 요소로 하고, 보 플랜지의 인장력 전달을 위해 한 방향은 고강도 강봉을, 이와 직교하는 방향은 강재 연결판을 사용하였다. 스티프너보강된 ㄱ형강을 사용하여 보 플랜지의 인장력을 기둥면에 전달하도록 하였으며, T 형강에 용접된 전단 접합판을 보의 웨브와 고력볼트로 접합하여 전단력을 지지하도록 설계하였다. 이 연구에서는 보의 플랜지로부터 스티프너 보강된 ㄱ형강을 통해 강봉이나 연결판으로 전달되는 휨모멘트 전달성능을 확인하고자 구조성능 시험을 수행하였다. 시험체는 실제 보-기둥 접합부를 모델로 하여, 실물크기로 4개가 제작되었으며, 구조실험은 철골 보의 양 단부를 단순지지한 상태에서 기둥 중앙에 집중하중을 가해 보-기둥 접합부에 휨모멘트와 전단력을 작용시키는 방식으로 진행되었다. 실험결과, 이 연구에서 제안된 접합부는 현장 적용이 가능한 가공성과 운반성 및 시공성을 가지며, 철골 보-접합용 ㄱ형강 -연결용 강봉 및 연결판에 의한 응력전달이 매우 순조로운 것으로 나타났다.

A new type of composite insulated concrete sandwich wall (ICS-wall), which is composed of a triangle truss steel wire network, an insulating layer, and internal and external concrete layers, is proposed. To study the mechanical properties of this new ICS-wall, tensile, compression, and shearing tests were performed on 22 specimens and tensile strength and corrosion resistance tests on 6 triangle truss joints. The variables in these tests mainly include the insulating plate material, the thickness of the insulating plate, the vertical distance of the triangle truss framework, the triangle truss layout, and the connecting mode between the triangle truss and wall and the material of the triangle truss. Moreover, the failure mode, mechanical properties, and bearing capacity of the wall under tensile, shearing, and compression conditions were analyzed. Research results demonstrate that the concrete and insulating layer of the ICS-wall are pulling out, which is the main failure mode under tensile conditions. The ICS-wall, which uses a graphite polystyrene plate as the insulating layer, shows better tensile properties than the wall with an ordinary polystyrene plate. The tensile strength and bearing capacity of the wall can be improved effectively by strengthening the triangle truss connection and shortening the vertical distances of the triangle truss. The compression capacity of the wall is mainly determined by the compression capacity of concrete, and the bonding strength between the wall and the insulating plate is the main influencing factor of the shearing capacity of the wall. According to the tensile strength and corrosion resistance tests of Austenitic stainless steel, the bearing capacity of the triangle truss does not decrease after corrosion, indicating good corrosion resistance.
