The connection with combined cross diaphragm is developed for the connection of square CFT column and steel beam and proposed to be used for the frame with asymmetric span length. The structural characteristics of this connection lie in the penetration of the beam flange in the direction of major axis through the column for the smooth flow of stress. The purpose of this study is to analyze the dynamic behavior and stress flow of suggested connection and to evaluate the resistance to shock of connection. Four T-type CFT column-to-beam specimens; two with combined cross diaphragm and the others with interior and through diaphragms, the existing connection types, were made for cyclic load test guided by the load program of ANSI/AISC SSPEC 2002. The results show that the proposed connection is more efficient than existing ones in terms of strength, stress flow and energy absorption and satisfies the seismic performance required in the region of weak/moderate earthquakes.

Cross-laminated timber (CLT) is a relatively new engineered wood for timber construction. It is a great shear wall material. It was known that the shear performance of the CLT wall depends on the performance of connections. In connection, nail or screw has to be installed with a certain distance from the end of the timber. Current building code specifies the distance on the name of end distance. The end distance was decided as a minimum distance not to make splitting or tearing out in lumber or glued laminated timber. As a relatively new engineered wood, the end distance of CLT connection need to be identified because CLT is cross-wisely glued lumber products like plywood. Different from glued laminated timber or lumber, cross layer of CLT may prevent wood from splitting or tearing-out. As a result, the end distance of CLT was expected to be reduced than glued laminated timber. The shorter end distance may let more versatile connector design possible. In this study, prior to developing novel connection for CLT, the end distance of CLT connection was experimentally investigated to identify the end distance limitation. The experiments showed that the end distance can be reduced from 7D to 6D, in case of the tested CLT combination and screw in this study.

The objective of this study is to clarify the structural features of members consisting of connection, as a series of the previous study on the CFT column-to-beam tensile connection with combined cross diaphragm. This connection has the merits that the stress is distributed evenly on the beam flange and the diaphragm and the stress concentration is reduced, by improving the stress transfer route and restraining abrupt deformation of diaphragm. The finite element analysis was performed to find out the stress transfer through sleeve which is an important member of the connection with combined cross diaphragm. The length and thickness of sleeve were used as variables for the analysis. As the analysis results, the length and thickness of sleeve didn't influence on the capacity of the connection and played a role of a medium to transfer the stress from the diaphragm to the filled concrete. It is proposed that the appropriate length of sleeve be the same value as the diameter of sleeve and the appropriate ratio of sleeve diameter to sleeve thickness be 20. Two equations for evaluation of the load-carrying capacity of the connection were also proposed through the modification of the evaluation equation suggested in the previous study.

We present a semi-rigid connection estimation method by using cross modal strain energy method. While rigid or pinned assumptions are adopted for steel frames in traditional modeling via finite element method, the actual behavior of the connections is usually neither. Semi-rigid joints enable connections to be modeled as partially restrained, which improves the quality of the model. To identify the connection stiffness and update the FE model, a newly-developed cross modal strain energy (CMSE) method is extended to incorporate the connection stiffness estimation. Meanwhile, the relations between the correction coefficients for the CMSE method are derived, which enables less modal information to be used in the estimation procedure. To illustrate the capability of the proposed parameter estimation algorithm, a four-story frame structure is demonstrated in the numerical studies. Several cases, including Semi-rigid joint(s) on single connection and on multi-connections, without and with measurement noise, are investigated. Numerical results indicate that an excellent updating is achievable and the connection stiffness can be estimated by CMSE method.

The connection performance between cross-laminated timber (CLT) walls and support has the greatest effect on the horizontal shear strength. In this study, the horizontal shear performance of CLT walls with reinforced connection systems was evaluated. The reinforcements of metal bracket connections in the CLT connection system was made by attaching glass fiber-based reinforcement to the connection zone of a CLT core lamina. Three types of glass fiber-based reinforcement were used: glass fiber sheet (GS), glass fiber cloth (GT) and fiber cloth plastic (GTS). The horizontal shear strength of the fabricated wall specimens was compared and evaluated through monotonic and cyclic tests. The test results showed that the resistance performance of the reinforced CLT walls to a horizontal load based on a monotonic test did not improve significantly. The residual and yield strengths under the cyclic loading test were 38 and 18% higher, respectively, while the ductility ratio was 38% higher than that of the unreinforced CLT wall. The glass fiber-based reinforcement of the CLT connection showed the possibility of improving the horizontal shear strength performance under a cyclic load, and presented the research direction for the application of real-scale CLT walls.

The criss-cross, a term first used by Anderson and Ando , is a rare cardiac malformation in which the systemic and pulmonary blood streams cross at the atrioventricular level, without mixing. We have surgically experienced four cases of crossed atrioventricular connection, three concordant and one discordant, at Seoul National University Hospital from July 1982 to March 1984. The atrial situs, the atrioventriculoarterial connection, the spatial position of the ventricles, and associated cardiac anomalies were analyzed. We have performed right Blalock-Taussig shunt for case 1, modified Fontan operation for case 2, patch closure of VSD for case 3, and septation of common ventricle with primary closure of ASD for case 4. The relatively good postoperative results in these patients were gratifying and suggest that cardiac anomalies associated with this rare malformation can be successfully repaired without further risk. To our knowledge, this is the first report of surgical experience for criss-cross heart in the Korean literature.

This research experimentally evaluated the local stress distribution along the cross-section of composite beams under both positive and negative moments. The experiment utilized a large-scale, two-story, two-by-three bay steel gravity frame with a concrete on metal deck floor system. The composite shear connections, which are nominally assumed to be pinned under gravity loading, can develop non-negligible moment-resisting capacity when subjected to lateral loads. This paper discusses the local stress distribution, orshear lag effects, observed near the beam-to-column connections when subjected to combined gravity and lateral loading. Strain gauges were used for measurements along the beam depth at varying distances from the connection. The experimental data showed amplified shear lag effects near the unconnected region of the beam web and bottom flange under the applied loading conditions. These results indicate that strain does not vary linearly across the beam cross-section adjacent to the connection components. This insight has implications for the use of experimental strain gauge data in estimating beam demands near the connections. These findings can be beneficial in informing instrumentation plans for future experimental studies on composite beams.

도로와 철도터널에서는 비상시 대피를 위한 시설이 필수적이며, 제연 및 화재 진압을 위한 설비와 승객의 피난 통로가 그것이다. 장대 병설터널에서는 횡갱을 배치하여 화재 발생 반대편 터널로 대피하도록 계획된다. 병설 쉴드터널에서는 횡갱의 시공을 위해 기 시공된 본선터널의 영구 구조물인 세그먼트 라이닝을 철거하여 원지반을 노출하여야 한다. 현대의 대부분의 쉴드TBM이 막장을 격벽으로 차단한 폐쇄형 쉴드TBM임을 감안할 때, 원지반이 노출되는 횡갱의 시공은 쉴드터널의 시공단계에서 위험도가 높은 과정 중 하나이다. 특히, 지하수위 아래의 토사 쉴드터널의 횡갱 시공에서는 세그먼트 철거 및 굴착 중 토사지반의 안정성 확보를 위한 차수 및 굴착공법에 대한 면밀한 검토가 요구된다. 본 사례 연구에서는 토사지반에서 대구경 강관추진을 활용한 횡갱 굴착 공법의 시공 중 유의사항을 소개하고 시공 후 계측결과를 분석하였다. 본 사례 연구에서 소개되는 횡갱 굴착공법은 그라우팅으로 보강된 토사지반에 대구경 강관 추진 후 내부 굴착하는 공법으로써, 두 가지 메커니즘에 의해 토사지반에서 굴착 중 막장의 안정성을 확보한다. 첫 번째는 대구경 강관을 추진하여 막장 전방 토사지반의 전주면을 강관에 의해 선 지보 한다. 두 번째는 대구경 강관 추진으로 내부로 압입된 토사의 Plugging 효과에 의해 막장 전면의 지지효과를 얻을 수 있다. 추진력에 의한 강관의 변형 및 강관의 관통 완료 후 응력발생 계측결과로부터 대구경 강관 추진에 의한 횡갱 굴착공법이 토사지반에서 충분한 시공성과 안정성을 확보함을 확인하였다. 본 사례 연구의 토사 쉴드터널의 횡갱 시공공법은 유사한 현장조건에서 널리 활용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

A through-railway bridge with an inclined girder has recently been applied to optimize the cross-section of a slender bridge structure in railway bridges. To achieve the additional cross-section optimization effect by the bolted end-plate connection, it is necessary to investigate the application of the bolted end-plate tension connection between the inclined girder and the crossbeam. This basic study was conducted on the application of the bolted end-plate moment connection of crossbeams to half-through girders with inclined webs. The combined behavior of vertical deflection and rotational behavior was observed due to the effect of the web inclination in the inclined girder where the steel crossbeam was connected to the girder by the bolted end-plate moment connection. Therefore, in the experiment, the deflection of the inclined girder was 1.77-2.93 times greater than that of the vertical girder but the lateral deflection of the inclined girder was 0.4 times less than that of the vertical girder. Moreover, the tensile stress of the upper bolts in the inclined girder with low crossbeams was clearly 0.81 times lower than that of the vertical girder. According to the results, the design formula for vertical girders does not reflect the influence of the web inclination. Therefore, this study proposed the design procedures for the inclined girder to apply the bolted end-plate moment connection of the crossbeam to the inclined girder by reflecting the design change factors according to the effect of the web inclination.
