Double skin composite walls are increasingly popular and have been applied to many safety-related facilities. They come from the concept of composite slabs. Conventional connectors such as shear studs and binding bars were used in previous studies to act as the internal mechanical connectors to lock the external steel faceplates to the concrete core. However, the restraint effects of these connectors were sometimes not strong enough. In this research, a recently proposed unique type of steel truss was employed along the wall height to enhance the composite action between the two materials. Concrete-filled tube columns were used as the boundary elements. Due to the existence of boundary columns, the restraints of steel faceplates to the concrete differ significantly for the walls with different widths. Therefore, there is a need to explore the effect of height-to-width ratio on the structural behavior of the wall. In the test program, three specimens were designed with the height of 3000 mm, the thickness of 150 mm, and different widths, to simulate the real walls in practice. Axial compression was applied by two actuators on the tested walls. The axial behavior of the walls was evaluated based on the analysis of test results. The influences of height-to-width ratio on structural performance were evaluated. Finally, discussion was made on code-based design.

LRFD 법을 이용하여 3경간 연속 이중합성 박스거더교의 부모멘트를 받는 내측 교각 위 단면을 설계하였다. 3경간 연속교의 최대경간은 80-120m를 고려하였으며 경간비는 1:1.25:1로 가정하였다. 설계 시에는 최대부모멘트를 받는 이중합성거더 단면의 강도한계상태, 사용성한계상태 및 시공성 검토를 고려하였다. 하부 보강콘크리트가 압축플랜지에 합성되기 전에는 압축플랜지의 좌굴을 검토하였으며 합성 후에는 좌굴이 방지된 것으로 가정하였다. 이중합성 박스거더의 하부플랜지 위에 타설하는 콘크리트의 두께에 따른 단면전체의 휨강성과 휨저항강도를 비롯하여 인장플랜지, 압축플랜지 및 복부판의 휨강도를 비교 분석하였다. 상부플랜지와 하부플랜지 단면적비가 이중합성 박스거더의 연성거동 및 휨응력 분포에 미치는 영향을 검토하고 적절한 단면적비를 분석하였다. 하부 보강콘크리트의 유무에 따른 소요 강재량을 비교한 결과, 이중합성 거더의 경우가 기존 단일합성 거더에 비해 15% 내외의 강재량 절감효과가 있는 것으로 분석되었다.

80 MPa급 고강도 콘크리트가 강거더의 압축 플랜지로 대체하는 아중합성 거더의 경우, 플랜지와 케이싱 및 케이싱과 바닥판 2개의 접합부 계면이 형성되는데 각 계면의 수평 전단 저항능력은 구조물의 안전성에 있어 중요한 요소이다. 본 연구는 계면 상세를 달리한 6개의 실험체를 도로교설계기준(한계상태설계법)에 따라 설계 및 제작하여 이중합성 보의 휨 파괴 대비 수평 전단에 대한 구조 성능 실험을 수행하였다. 실험체의 주요변수로 스터드 전단연결재의 저항계수, 바닥판 콘크리트 및 철근의 재료저항계수, 콘크리트 인장강도에 따른 부착계수, 케이싱 콘크리트의 표면 상태 그리고 수평전단철근의 간격을 고려하였다. 실험 결과, 강재 상부 플랜지와 고강도 케이싱의 계면이 고강도 케이싱과 바닥판 계면 보다 결합성이 큰 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 고강도 케이싱과 바닥판 계면에서는 케이싱 표면에 요철 또는 거칠기를 주는 것 보다 보수적으로 수평전단철근을 배근하는 것이 소성영역까지 합성 거동을 유지하는 것으로 나타났다.

The top-and-seat angles with double web angles are commonly used in the design of beam-to-column joints in Asian and North American countries. The seismic behavior analysis of these joints with large cross-section size of beam and column (often connected by four or more bolts) is a challenge due to the effects from the relatively larger size of stiffened angles and the composite action from the adjacent concrete slab. This paper presents an experimental investigation on the seismic performance of exterior composite beam-to-column joints with stiffened angles under cyclic loading. Four full-scale composite joints with different configuration (only one specimen contain top angle in concrete slab) were designed and tested. The joint specimens were designed by considering the effects of top angles, longitudinal reinforcement bars and arrangement of bolts. The behavior of the joints was carefully investigated, in terms of the failure modes, slippage, backbone curves, strength degradation, and energy dissipation abilities. It was found that the slippage between top-and-seat angles and beam flange, web angle and beam web led to a notable pinching effect, in addition, the ability of the energy dissipation was significantly reduced. The effect of anchored beams on the behavior of the joints was limited due to premature failure in concrete, the concrete slab that closes to the column flange and upper flange of beam plays an significant role when the joint subjected to the sagging moment. It is demonstrated that the ductility of the joints was significantly improved by the staggered bolts and welded longitudinal reinforcement bars.

Objectives: This was a double blinded, randomized, placebo-controlled clinical study for evaluation of safety and effective dose finding of Cardiotonic Pills$^{(R)}$ in patients with chest pain and discomfort. Cardiotonic Pills$^{(R)}$ are composed of Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix (丹蔘), Notoginseng Radix (三七根) and Borneolum (龍腦). Major effects of Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix and Notoginseng Radix are vasodilatation, sedation and analgesic action. Borneolum has an antibacterial effect, and can stimulate the central nervous system. All of these substances are oriental herbs that have been used for a long time in east Asia. Cardiotonic Pills fi received Investigational New Drug (IND) approval from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the USA and 40 million people in the world take this pill. We performed a phase IV clinical study to confirm its efficacy and safety in patients who have probable cardiogenic or psychogenic chest pain or chest stifling. Methods: This study was planned for a multi-center clinical trial including four university hospitals of oriental medicine in Korea. This was the first time to evaluate the 'planning treatment according to diagnosis (辨證施治)' of chest pain or chest discomfort according to oriental medical guidelines. The patients who were included in this trial were adult volunteers from 20 to 70 years old who had chest pain or chest discomfort more than twice during a recent month, and we received written consent to participate in this study from all of them. After administration of Cardiotonic Pills$^{(R)}$ for 8 weeks, number of occurrences, duration, appearance and degree of chest pain or chest discomfort was observed and degree of symptoms (severity of illness, global improvement) were measured using a patient's global assessment composite scale. Results: In the patient's global assessment scale, the severity of illness of the Cardiotonic Pills$^{(R)}$ group (n=25) was 14/25=0.56 but of the placebo group (n=25) was 7/25=0.28 (p-value=0.0449). This result indicates Cardiotonic Pills$^{(R)}$have a positive effect on the symptoms of chest pain and discomfort. However, the global improvement of the Cardiotonic Pills$^{(R)}$group was 23/25=0.92, and of the placebo group was 22/25=0.88 (p-value=0.6374). The total symptom score of the Cardiotonic Pills$^{(R)}$ group was $1.68\pm20.06$, and of the placebo group was $16.76\pm72.l4$(p-value=0.2285). The number of symptom events of the Cardiotonic Pills$^{(R)}$ group was $72\pm29.78$, and of the placebo group (n=25) was $10.80\pm38.42$ (p­value=0.3660). We could not find any effects on the other factors examined besides the severity of illness, beyond the difference of standard deviations. Conclusions: Cardiotonic Pills$^{(R)}$ significantly reduced chest pain and chest discomfort in patients. Therefore, we expect that Cardiotonic Pills$^{(R)}$ will be helpful for patients with chest pain and chest discomfort not only caused by heart disease but also by other diseases.
