This paper aims to study the seismic performance of external diaphragm connection between SST (square steel tube) column and H-shaped beam through experimental and analytical study involving finite element (FE) method and theoretical analysis. In the experimental study, three external diaphragm connection specimens with weak panel zone were tested under axial pressure on the top of the column and antisymmetric cyclic loads at the beam end to investigate the seismic performance of the panel zone. The hysteretic behavior, failure mode, stiffness and ductility of the specimens were discussed. Key point to be explored was the influence of the thickness of the steel tube flange on the shear capacity of the specimens. In the analytical study, three simplified FE models were developed to simulate the seismic behavior of the specimens for further analysis on the influence of steel tube flange. Finally, four existing calculation formulas for the shear capacity of the external diaphragm connection were evaluated through comparisons with the results of experiments and FE analysis, and application suggestions were put forward.

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.

콘크리트 충전강관 기둥에 모멘트 접합부를 만들기 위해서는 추가적인 다이아프램 설치가 필요하다. 그 중 내측 다이아프램과 관통 다이아프램을 용접하기 위해서는 기둥강관에 특수한 용접기술이 필요하다. 하지만 이런 기술은 제작업체의 특수장비 보유에 따라서 제작성 저하와 생산단가 상승 유도 등의 문제를 갖고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 외다이아프램을 갖는 실대형 기둥-보 접합부를 제작하였고, 반복가력 실험을 수행하였다. 다이아프램의 용접 유무와 콘크리트 충전 여부, 형상에 따른 총 6개의 T자형 접합부 실험을 통해 내진성능을 평가하였다. 또한 외다이아프램 내력식에 대한 분석이 이뤄졌다. 본 실험에서 나온 결과를 인장내력식의 적절성을 검토 하였다.

Built-up Double-I (BD-I) columns have been commonly used for mid-rise steel-frame structures in Iran. These columns consist of two hot rolled IPE sections which are connected by two cover plates and fillet welds. Until 2017, BD-I columns were employed in intermediate moment resisting frames (MRF) using welded flange plate (WFP) connections. To evaluate the seismic behavior of the connections, four samples were made and tested based on cyclic loading according to AISC 341-16. It was concluded that typical samples cannot satisfy the seismic provisions related to intermediate MRFs. In contrast, the proposed connections retrofitted with two-part external diaphragms were able to satisfy not only the seismic requirements related to intermediate MRFs but also those related to special MRFs according to AISC. The numerical modeling of these samples was performed using ABAQUS finite element software. This study compared the hysteresis moment-rotation curves, plastic strains, and behavior modes in both experimental samples and numerical models.

The paper aims to investigate the mechanical mechanism and seismic effect of stiffeners in blind bolt endplate connection to CFST column. A precise 3D finite element model with considering the cyclic properties of concrete and steel materials was established, and the efficiency was validated through monotonic and cyclic test data. The deforming pattern and the seismic performance of the unstiffened and stiffened blind bolt endplate connections were investigated. Then a parametric analysis was conducted to analyze the contribution of stiffeners and the joint working behaviors with endplate under cyclic load. The joint stiffness classifications were compared and a supplement stiffness classification method was proposed, and the energy dissipation ability of different class connections were compared and discussed. Results indicated that the main deformation pattern of unstiffened blind bolt endplate connections was the local bending of end plate. The vertical stiffeners can effectively alleviate the local bending deformation of end plate. And influence of stiffeners in thin endplate and thick endplate was different. Based on the stiffness of external diaphragm welded connection, a more detailed rigidity classification was proposed which included the pin, semi-rigid, quasi-rigid and rigid connection. Beam was the main energy dissipation source for rigid connection. For the semi-rigid and quasi-rigid connection, the extended endplate, stiffeners and steel beam would all participate in the energy dissipation.

초대형 부유식 구조물의 경우 지진하중보다 파랑하중에 의한 영향이 크게 작용하기 때문에 파랑하중에 의한 하부부체의 변형이 상부구조물에 부가모멘트를 발생시키는 요인이 된다. 이러한 부가모멘트를 저감시키기 위해 본 연구에서는 강접합과 핀접합 사이의 거동을 하는 반강접 접합부를 적용하였다. 초대형 부유식 구조물의 상부구조체에 반강접 접합부를 적용할 경우 보의 부가모멘트를 감소시킬 수 있으며, 더욱 경제적인 설계가 가능하다. 본 논문에서는 4경간 3층 예제구조물에 대하여 파랑하중에 의한 영향을 분석하고, 구조물의 반강접 접합부 적용에 따른 효율성을 검토하였다. 접합부는 각형강관 외-다이아프램 접합부를 적용하였으며 파랑하중에 의한 동적 특성을 분석하기 위하여 시간 이력해석을 수행하였다. 초대형 부유식 구조물의 상부구조물의 경우 파랑하중에 의해서 정하중의 최대모멘트 응답이 강접 구조물에서는 $33\%$ 증가하였으며, 스프링 모델을 이용한 반강접 구조물에서는 $26\%$ 증가하였다.
