A new composite tube connection method called the pre-tightened teeth connection technique is proposed to improve the composite tube connection efficiency. This paper first introduces the manufacturing process of the proposed technique. It then outlines how the mechanical properties of this technology were tested using four test groups. The factors that influence the load-bearing capacity and damage model of the connection were analyzed, and finally, the transfer load mechanism was investigated. The following conclusions can be obtained from the research results. (1) The new technique improves the compressive connection efficiency by a maximum of 79%, with the efficiency exceeding that of adhesive connections of the same thickness. (2) Changing the depth of teeth results in two types of damage: local compressive damage and shear damage. The bearing capacity can be improved by increasing the depth, length, and number of teeth as well as the pre-tightening force. (3) The capacity of the technique to transfer high loads is a result of both the relatively high interlaminar shear strength of the pultruded composite and the interlaminar shear strength increase provided by the pre-tightening force. The proposed technique shows favorable mechanical properties, and therefore, it can be extensively applied in the engineering field.

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.

MPEG4 High Efficiency Advanced Audio Coding (HE-AAC) and MPEG Surround are one of the most efficient combinations for low bit rate multi-channel audio coding. Based on the fact that these two codecs have identical quadrature mirror filter (QMF) analysis and synthesis structures, we propose a dual-domain connection scheme for the codecs. Specifically two time-domain connection methods are analyzed and compared to the QMF subband-domain connection method. Experimental results show that both the time-domain connection methods cause no subjective sound quality degradation compared to the QMF subband-domain connection method, which verifies that one can select either of them depending on application scenarios.

A cylindrical tube connection that has a voltage difference and is separated electrically by an insulator was modelled. The penetration efficiencies of charged particles passing through the connector tube were investigated. Typically, as the particle size decreases and the applied voltage difference increases, the penetration efficiency decreases. To assess the effect of the electrode geometry, various lengths of electric insulator and aerosol flow rate with a fixed tube length and tube diameter were used when calculating penetration efficiencies. The comparison of penetration efficiencies for various electrode geometry setups suggests that the penetration efficiency can be described as a function of the product of applied voltage and electrical mobility of charged particles. The diffusion loss from this and previous studies are compared. Further, an explicit form for penetration efficiency is provided as a function of a new non-dimensional parameter, $Es(=Z_pV/U_{avg}W);\;P_{es}=0.2{\cdot}{\exp}(-Es/0.6342)+0.8{\cdot}{\exp}(-Es/4.7914)$.

The concept of horizontal shear connection utilization on wood-concrete beams intends to be an alternative connection detail for composite wood-concrete decks. The volume of sawn-wood is over three times more expensive than concrete, in Brazil. In order to be competitive in the Brazilian market we need a composite deck with the least amount of wood and a simple and inexpensive connection detail. This research project uses medium to high density tropical hardwoods managed from the Brazilian Amazon region and construction steel rods. The beams studied are composed of a bottom layer of staggered wood boards and a top layer of concrete. The wood members are laterally nailed together to form a wide beam, and horizontal rebar connectors are installed before the concrete layer is applied on top. Two sets of wood-concrete layered beams with horizontal rebar connectors (6 and 8) were tested in third-point loading flexural bending. The initial results reveal medium composite efficiency for the beams tested. An improvement on the previously conceived connection detail (set with six connectors) for the composite wood-concrete structural floor system was achieved by the set with eight connectors. The new layout of the horizontal rebar connectors added higher composite efficiency for the beams tested. Further analysis with advanced rigorous numerical Finite Element Modeling is suggested to optimize the connection parameters. Composite wood-concrete decks can attend a large demand for pedestrian bridges, as well as residential and commercial slabs in the Brazilian Amazon.

Generally, a box tube, which is used for an existing square CFT structure, is made by welding four plates. The manufacturing efficiency of this steel tube is poor, and it also needs special welding technology to weld its internal diaphragm and the through diaphragm. Therefore, an interior-anchor-type square steel tube was developed using the method of cold-forming thin plates to prevent welding of the stress concentration position, and to maximize the section efficiency. And, considering of the flow of beam flange load, the efficiency of erection and the weldability of the diaphragm to thin walled steel column, the external diaphragm connection was selected as the suitable type for the welded built-up square CFT column to beam connection. And, an analytical study and tests were conducted to evaluate the structural performance of the suggested connection details and to verify the suggested equations for the connection details. Through this study, the composite effect of the internal anchor to concrete, the resistance and stress distribution of the connections before and after the existing column is welded to the beam, the effective location of welding in connection were analyzed.

Precast reinforced concrete structure (PRCS) consists of prefabricated members assembled at worksites and has more connections limitations in comparison with the equivalent in-situ reinforced concrete structure (IRCS). As a result of these limitations, PRCSs have less ductility in comparison with IRCSs. Recent studies indicate that the most noticeable failure in PRCSs have occurred in their connection zone. The objective of this study is introducing a type of precast beam-to-column connection (PBC) which in spite of being simple is of the same efficiency and performance as in-situ beam-to-column connection (IBC). To achieve this, the performance of proposed new PBC at exterior joint of a four story PRCS was analyzed by pseudo dynamic analysis and compared with that of IBC in equivalent IRCS. Results indicated that the proposed connection has even better performance in terms of strength, energy dissipation and stiffness, than that of IBC.

본 연구는 국내에서 주로 사용되는 강구조 보-기둥 접합상세와 논스캘럽접합상세의 내진성능을 비교하기 위해 실대형 정적반복실험과 실험과 동일한 모델링 통한 FEM해석을 진행하였다. 정량적인 수치비교를 위해 이전연구에서 사용된 변형률집중지수와 모멘트전달효율을을 인용하였다. 보 웨브의 용접면적 감소에 따라 플랜지 부분의 변형률이 증가되어 회전각에 따른 소성변형능력이 감소되거나 취성파단이 일어나는 현상을 보였다. 해석결과와 실험결과 비교시 H형 전체단면적에 대한 웨브 용접비가 60%이하로 떨어질 경우 취성파단이 일어날 가능성이 높아지는 경향이 나타났다.

최근에는 건축물의 대형화, 고층화라는 시대적인 흐름과 요구로 인해서 철골 구조의 수요가 급증하고 있다. 일반적인 철골 구조의 해석은 접합부를 강접합과 단순접합으로 가정하여 수행되고 있는데, 강접합(Fixed connection)의 경우에는 절점에 연결된 각 부재의 변형 전 상대적인 각도가 변형 후에도 그대로 유지된다고 가정하므로 접합부가 충분한 강성을 발휘하고 안정성을 확보하도록 패널존 부분에 스티프너로 보강을 한다. 하지만 인건비 상승과 함께 강접 접합부의 제작비가 과도해짐으로 경제성 측면에서 스티프너 보강을 생략한 접합부의 필요성이 증가하고 있다. 반면, 단순접합(Pinned connection)의 경우에는 단순보처럼 거동하여 보와 기둥 사이에 휨모멘트가 전달되지 않는다고 가정한다. 이는 공장제작이 간단하고, 시공이 간편한 장점이 있으나 접합부에서 모멘트를 전달할 수 없어서 구조적인 효율이 떨어지는 단점이 있다. 반강접의 도입은 단면치수 결정의 효율성을 증대하고, 현장에서의 부재조립 용이성, 골조 전체의 안전성 확보 등의 이점이 있어서 외국의 경우, 보-기둥 접합부의 실제적인 거동을 파악하기 위해서 계속적인 노력을 해왔고 그 결과를 규준에 적용하고 있다. 본 논문은 미국 AISC의 LRFD 설계규준을 참고하여 국내 강재를 적용한 반강접의 구조해석을 실시해서 각 강재에 대한 자료은행을 만들 것이고 이상화된 접합부의 구조해석 결과와 비교하여 경제성 측면, 단부 고정계수, 회전강성과 함께 반강접을 고려한 구조물의 설계 방안을 제시 하고자 한다.

Conventional analysis and design of steel structures are performed using the assumption of a either fully rigid or pinned. However, every steel connection lies in between fully rigid and pinned connection. So, It is important to consider the connection for steel structure design. In this paper Computer-based second-order elastic analysis is used to calculate one story two bay and two story three bay for steel structures with semi-rigid connection. Genetic Algorithms(GAs) and Sequential Unconstrained Minized Technique(SUMT) dynamic programming is used to the method for optimum design of steel structures. The efficiency and validity of the developed continuous and discrete optimum design algorithm was verified by applying the algorithm to optimum design examples.
