Extensive reinforced concrete interior beam-column joints with beams of different depths have been used in large industrial buildings and tall building structures under the demand of craft or function. The seismic behavior of the joint, particularly the relationship between deformation and strength in the core region of these eccentric reinforced concrete beam-column joints, has rarely been investigated. This paper performed a theoretical study on the effects of geometric features on the shear strength of the reinforced concrete interior beam-column joints with beams of different depths, which was critical factor in seismic behavior. A new model was developed to analyze the relationship between the shear strength and deformation based on the Equivalent Strut Mechanism (ESM), which combined the truss model and the diagonal strut model. Additionally, this paper developed a simplified calculation method to estimate the shear strength of these type eccentric joints. The accuracy of the model was verified as the modifying analysis data fitted to the test results, which was a loading test of 6 eccentric joints conducted previously.

Recently a simple design method for rib-reinforced seismic steel moment connections has been proposed based on equivalent strut model. An experimental program was implemented to verify the proposed design method and to develop the schemes that will prevent the cracking at the rib tip, where stress concentration was evident. All the specimens designed by the proposed method were able to develop satisfactory connection plastic rotation of 0.04 radian. Slight beam flange trimming, in addition to rib reinforcement, pushed the plastic hinging and local buckling of the beam away from the rip tip and effectively reduced the cracking potential at the rib tip. The strut action of the rib and resulting reverse shear in the beam web were also experimentally identified through the strain gage readings.

철근콘크리트 전단벽의 전단강도를 예측하기 위한 기존 연구자들의 스트럿-타이 모델(STM)들은 횡하중 및 상부의 축력에 대한 전단벽의 내부 힘의 흐름과 웨브의 전단철근에 의해 전달되는 전단력의 비율을 명확히 제시하고 있지 않다. 이를 개선하기 위해서, 이 연구에서는 콘크리트 파괴역학의 균열 띠 이론을 기반한 단순한 STM을 개발하였다. 응력이완 스트립을 동반하는 콘크리트 스트럿의 등가유효너비는 중립축 깊이와 콘크리트 유효압축강도 계수로 결정되었다. 균열 띠 확장영역의 전단 전달 메커니즘은 강성법에 의한 트러스 작용으로부터 산정되었다. 웨브 콘크리트 스트럿과 전단철근에 의한 전단 전달력은 응력이완 스트립과 균열 띠 이론을 기반한 에너지평형조건으로부터 유도되었다. 제시된 모델은 Siao와 Hwang et al.의 STM에 비해 150여개의 기존 실험결과의 경향을 잘 예측하였다. 또한, 제시된 STM은 각 변수에 따른 무차원된 전단강도의 경향을 잘 반영하고 있다.

This paper presents an analytical model for the estimation of initial lateral stiffness of steel moment resisting frames with masonry infills. However, rather than focusing on the single bay-single storey substructure, the developed model attempts to estimate the global stiffness of multi-storey and multi-bay frames, using an assembly of equivalent springs and taking into account the shape of the lateral loading pattern. The contribution from each infilled frame panel is included as an individual spring, whose properties are determined on the basis of established diagonal strut macro-modeling approaches from the literature. The proposed model is evaluated parametrically against numerical results from frame analyses, with varying number of frame stories, infill openings, masonry thickness and modulus of elasticity. The performance of the model is evaluated and found quite satisfactory.

This paper presents a state-of-the-art review of the nonlinear modelling techniques available today for describing the structural behaviour of masonry infills and their interaction with frame structures subjected to in-plane loads. Following brief overviews on the behaviour of masonry-infilled frames and on the results of salient experimental tests, three modelling approaches are discussed in more detail: the micro, the meso and the macro approaches. The first model considers each of the infilled frame elements as separate: brick units, mortar, concrete and steel reinforcement; while the second approach treats the masonry infill as a continuum. The paper focuses on the third approach, which combines frame elements for the beams and columns with one or more equivalent struts for the infill panel. Due to its relative simplicity and computational speed, the macro model technique is more widely used today, though not all proposed models capture the main effects of the frame-infill interaction.

In this paper, masonry infilled reinforced concrete (RC) frames are analyzed through a probabilistic approach. A macro-modeling technique, based on an equivalent diagonal pin-jointed strut, has been resorted to for modelling the stiffening contribution of the masonry panels. Since it is quite difficult to decide which mechanical characteristics to assume for the diagonal struts in such simplified model, the strut width is here considered as a random variable, whose stochastic characterization stems from a wide set of empirical expressions proposed in the literature. The stochastic analysis of the masonry infilled RC frame is conducted via the Probabilistic Transformation Method by employing a set of space transformation laws of random vectors to determine the probability density function (PDF) of the system response in a direct manner. The knowledge of the PDF of a set of response indicators, including displacements, bending moments, shear forces, interstory drifts, opens an interesting discussion about the influence of the uncertainty of the masonry infills and the resulting implications in a design process.

Simplifier assumptions which are used in numerical studies of progressive collapse phenomenon in structures indicate inconsistency between the numerical and experimental full-scale results. Neglecting the effects of infill panels and two-dimensional simulation are some of these assumptions. In this study, an existing seismically code-designed steel building is analyzed with alternate path method (AP) to assess its resistance against progressive collapse. In the AP method, the critical columns be removed immediately and stability of the remaining structure is investigated. Analytical macro-model based on the equivalent strut approach is used to simulate the effective infill panels. The 3-dimentional nonlinear dynamic analysis results show that modeling the slabs and infill panels can increase catenary actions and stability of the structure to resist progressive collapse even if more than one column removed. Finally, a formula is proposed to determine potential of collapse of the structure based on the quantity and quality of the produced plastic hinges in the connections.

In order to get a better understanding of seismic performance of exterior beam-column joint, reciprocating loading tests with variable loading speeds or axial forces were carried out. The main findings indicate that only few cracks exist on the surface of the joint core area, while the plastic hinge region at the beam end is seriously damaged. The damage of the specimen is more serious with the increase of the upper limit of variable axial force. The deflection ductility coefficient of specimen decreases to various degrees after the upper limit of variable axial force increases. In addition, the higher the loading speed is, the lower the deflection ductility coefficient of the specimen is. The stiffness of the specimen decreases as the upper limit of variable axial force or the loading speed increase. Compared to the influence of variable axial force, the influence of the loading speed on the stiffness degradation of the specimen is more obvious. The cumulative energy dissipation and the equivalent viscous damping coefficient of specimen decrease with the increase of loading speed. The influence of variable axial force on the energy dissipation of specimen varies under different loading speeds. Based on the truss model, the biaxial stress criterion, the Rankine criterion, the Kent-Scott-Park model, the equivalent theorem of shearing stress, the softened strut-and-tie model, the controlled slip theory and the proposed equations, a calculation method for the shear capacity is proposed with satisfactory prediction results.

본 논문에서는 대심도 가설 흙막이 벽체의 내진안전성을 검토하기 위해 평균재현주기 2,400년 수준(0.220g)을 목표로 Northridge(1994), Kobe(1995), 인공지진파 그리고 2.5Hz 정현파 총 네 가지 지진파를 가진하는 동적원심모형실험을 수행하였다. 원심모형실험은 대심도 굴착현장을 대상을 모사하였다. 모형지반은 상대밀도 55% 건조사질토지반으로 조성하였고, 모형벽체는 심도 24.8m의 지하연속벽 흙막이벽체와 중구경 강관 지보재로 보강된 공법을 모사하였다. 흙막이 시스템은 기반암 가속도가 배면지반, 벽체 상단과, 기반암 근처 하단부에서 증폭되었고, 중앙부에서는 상대적으로 감쇠되는 경향을 보였다. 벽체 전체최대휨모멘트와 지보재 전체최대축력이 유발되는 시점의 부재력을 정지상태 부재력과 비교하였다. 그 결과, 벽체 휨모멘트는 정모멘트와 부모멘트가 최대 10.1%, 36.2% 증가하였으며, 축력은 하단 지보재에서 최대 70% 증가하였다. 또한, Mononobe-Okabe(M-O) 동적토압이론과 Seed-Whitman(S-W) 동적토압이론을 활용한 등가정적해석을 수행하여 실험결과와 비교하였다. M-O 이론 등가정적해석이 휨모멘트 동적증가분을 과소평가하고, S-W 이론 등가정적해석은 과대평가하였다.
