Non-seismically designed eccentric reinforced concrete beam-column joints were extensively used in existing reinforced concrete frame buildings, which were found to be vulnerable to seismic action in many incidences. To provide a fundamental understanding of the seismic performance and failure mechanism of the joints, three 2/3-scale exterior beam-column joints with non-seismically designed details were cast and tested under reversed cyclic loads simulating earthquake excitation. In this investigation, particular emphasis was given on the effects of the eccentricity between the centerlines of the beam and the column. It is shown that the eccentricity had significant effects on the damage characteristics, shear strength, and displacement ductility of the specimens. In addition, shear deformation and the strain of joint hoops were found to concentrate on the eccentric face of the joint. The results demonstrated that the specimen with an eccentricity of 1/4 column width failed in a brittle manner with premature joint shear failure, while the other specimens with less or no eccentricity failed in a ductile manner with joint shear failure after beam flexural yielding. Test results are compared with those predicted by three seismic design codes and two non-seismic design codes. In general, the codes do not accurately predict the shear strength of the eccentric joints with non-seismic details.

Following an internal column failure, adjacent double-span beams above the failed column will play a critical role in the load transfer and internal force redistribution within the remaining structure, and the span-to-depth ratios of double-span beams significantly influence the structural resistance capacity against progressive collapse. Most existing studies have focused on the collapse-resistant performances of single-story symmetric structures, whereas limited published works are available on the collapse resistances of multi-story steel frames with unequal spans. To this end, in this study, numerical models based on shell elements were employed to investigate the structural behavior of multi-story steel frames with unequal spans. The simulation models were validated using the previous experimental results obtained for single- and two-story steel frames, and the load-displacement responses and internal force development of unequal-span three-story steel frames under three cases were comprehensively analyzed. In addition, the specific contributions of the different mechanism resistances of unequal-span, double-span beams of each story were separated quantitatively using the energy equilibrium theory, with an aim to gain a deeper level of understanding of the load-resistance mechanisms in the unequal-span steel frames. The results showed that the axial and flexural mechanism resistances were determined by the span ratio and linear stiffness ratio of double-span beams, respectively.

최근 우리나라의 공동주택 또는 주상복합 건물의 구조 시스템으로 상부 벽식 하부 골조의 복합구조 형태가 주로 사용되고 있다. 이와 같은 건물의 경우 상부층의 하중이 전이판 또는 깊은보의 형태를 띠는 깊은보를 통해 하부 골조로 전달되고, 횡력에 대해서는 하부 골조가 연층 또는 약층에 의한 파괴가 발생할 수 있기 때문에 횡력에 대한 깊은보와 기둥은 매우 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 깊은보와 하부 기둥이 만나는 부분에서 요구되는 강도, 연성 등을 파악하고자 깊은보-외부기둥 접합부에 대해 ACI의 중진지역 상세에 의한 방법과 Sheikh가 제안한 방법에 따라 기둥을 설계한 후, 1/2.5 축소 모델 실험에 대한 반복 횡하중 실험을 수행하였다. 그 결과는 다음과 같다. (1) Sheikh의 제안식에 따라 설계할 경우 요구 횡철근이 2.9배 증가하였으며, 이는 기둥의 연성이 증가하는 결과를 가져왔다. (2) 기둥 횡변 위는 대부분 소성힌지에서 휨변형, 접합부에서 휨변형, 그리고 들뜸에 의해 발생하였다. (3) 깊은보와 외부기둥이 접하는 경우 기둥의 상세 뿐만 아니라 접합부에서 과도한 변형을 방지하기 위해 접합부 내부에도 충분한 횡철근이 배근이 되어야 할 필요가 있었다.

본 연구에서는 접합부 특성이 고려된 공간프레임의 대변형 탄소성해석법에 관한 내용을 기술한다. 이 해석법은 유한변형을 고려한 대변형 탄성해석법에 기초한 것으로 부재의 재료적 탄소성, 접합부 반강접 특성을 추가적으로 고려하였다. 절점의 유한변형은 오일러의 개념으로 부터 유도되었으며, 부재좌표계에서 계산된 부재변형은 보-기둥식에 대입하여 부재력을 계산하였다. 부재변형은 부재축변형과 휨에 의한 축변형효과를 함께 고려하여 계산하였으며, 부재축력의 휨강성, 비틀림강성에 대한 효과를 고려하여 항복함수를 계산하였다. 재료는 완전 탄소성으로 가정하였고, 항복은 부재 양단부에서 집중하여 발생하는 소성힌지의 개념을 사용하였다. 부재 접합부 반강접 특성은 지수모델이나 선형모델을 적용하였고, 접합부 특성이 고려된 탄소성 후좌굴해석을 수행하기 위해 호장법을 사용하였다. 본 연구내용의 정확성 및 효율성을 검증하기 위해 공간프레임에 대한 해석을 수행하였다.

The impacts of waste tire rubber (WTR) on the bending conduct of reinforced concrete beams (RCBs) are investigated in visualization of experimental tests and 3D finite element model (FEM) using both ANSYS and SAP2000. Several WTR rates are used in total 4 various full scale RCBs to observe the impact of WTR rate on the rupture and bending conduct of RCBs. For this purpose, the volumetric ratios (Vf) of WTR were chosen to change to 0%, 2.5%, 5% and 7.5% in the whole concrete. In relation to experimental test consequences, bending and rupture behaviors of the RCBs are observed. The best performance among the beams was observed in the beams with 2.5% WTR. Furthermore, as stated by test consequences, it is noticed that while WTR rate in the RCBs is improved, max. bending in the RCBs rises. For test consequences, it is clearly recognized as WTR rate in the RCB mixture is improved from 0% to 2.5%, deformation value in the RCB remarkably rises from 3.89 cm to 7.69 cm. This consequence is markedly recognized that WTR rates have a favorable result on deformation values in the RCBs. Furthermore, experimental tests are compared to 3D FEM consequences via using ANSYS software. In the ANSYS, special element types are formed and nonlinear multilinear misses plasticity material model and bilinear misses plasticity material model are chosen for concrete and compression and tension elements. As a consequence, it is noticed that each WTR rates in the RCBs mixture have dissimilar bending and rupture impacts on the RCBs. Then, to observe the impacts of WTR rate on the constructions under near-fault ground motions, a reinforced-concrete building was modelled via using SAP2000 software using 3-D model of the construction to complete nonlinear static analysis. Beam, column, steel haunch elements are modeled as nonlinear frame elements. Consequently, the seismic impacts of WTR rate on the lateral motions of each floor are obviously investigated particularly. Considering reduction in weight of structure and capacity of the members with using waste tire rubber, 2.5% of WTR resulted in the best performance while the construction is subjected to near fault earthquakes. Moreover, it is noticeably recognized that WTR rate has opposing influences on the seismic displacement behavior of the RC constructions.
