Six specimens are tested to investigate the cyclic behavior of beam-to-column abnormal joints in steel moment-resisting frames, which are designed according to the principle of strong-member and weak-panel zone. Key parameters include the axial compression ratio of column and the section depth ratio of beams. Experimental results indicate that four types of failure patterns occurred during the loading process. The $P-{\Delta}$ hysteretic loops are stable and plentiful, but have different changing tendency at the positive and negative direction in the later of loading process due to mechanical behaviors of specimens. The ultimate strength tends to increase with the decrease of the section depth ratio of beams, but it is not apparent relationship to the axial compression ratio of column, which is less than 0.5. The top panel zone has good deformation capacity and the shear rotation can reach to 0.04 rad. The top panel zone and the bottom panel zone don't work as a whole. Based on the experimental results, the equation for shear strength of the abnormal joint panel zone is established by considering the restriction of the bottom panel zone to the top panel zone, which is suitable for the abnormal joint of H-shaped or box column and beams with different depths.

The connection of the steel structure serves to transmit external forces to the main components. The same is true for the behavior of modular systems composed mainly of steel or composite members. In this study, the joint performance of the composite and steel modules proposed was evaluated. The analytical models of the two joint types were constructed and were subjected to cyclic loading to assess the safety and the energy dissipation capacity of the joint types. The analysis results of the joints showed that the joints of the modular systems remain stable when the joint rotation reached the seismic performance limit state of the 0.02 rad required for steel intermediate moment frame. It was also observed that the joint of the composite modular system showed higher energy dissipation capacity compared with the steel modular system.

The vertical extension of a building in general remodeling process increases both gravity and seismic loads by simply adding masses to the building. In this study, a vertical extension structural module (VESM) is proposed for enhancing seismic performance of the existing buildings by utilizing the story-increased parts. The proposed VESM is composed of steel column, steel beam, and beam-end rotational damper. The steel columns are connected to the shear walls and transfer the wall rotation in out-of plane to the steel beam, and then the beam-end rotational damper dissipates the earthquake-induced energy. Numerical analysis result from a cantilever beam of which end-rotation is restricted by rotational damper indicates that the displacement, base shear, and base overturning moment of the existing structures showing cantilever behavior can be significantly reduced by using the proposed method. Also, it is observed that friction-type rotational damper is effective than viscous one.

The static design approach in the current code implies that the inherent torsional moment represents the state of zero inertial torsional moments at the center of mass (CM). However, both experimental and analytical results prove the existence of a large amount of the inertial torsional moment at the CM. Also, the definition of eccentricity by engineers, which is referred to as the resistance eccentricity, is defined as the distance between the center of mass and the center of resistance, which is conceptually different from the static eccentricity in the current codes, defined as the arm length about the center of rotation. The difference in the definitions of eccentricity should be made clear to avoid confusion about the torsion design. This study proposed prediction equations as a function of resistance eccentricity based on a resistance eccentricity model with advantages of (1) the recognition of the existence of torsional moment at the CM, (2) the avoidance of the confusion by using resistance eccentricity instead of the design eccentricity, and (3) a clear relationship of applied inertial forces at the CM and resisting forces. These predictions are compared with the seismic responses obtained from time-history analyses of a five-story building structure under moderate and severe earthquakes. Then, the trend of the resistance eccentricity corresponding to the maximum edge drift is investigated for elastic and inelastic responses. The comparison given in this study shows that these prediction equations can serve as a useful reference for the prediction in both the elastic and the inelastic ranges.

이 논문에서는 반복하중을 받는 철근콘크리트 보의 거동을 모사하기 위한 모멘트-곡률 관계를 제안하고 있다. 기존의 제안된 모멘트-곡률 관계 모델이나 적층단면법과는 달리 제안된 모델은 부착-슬립관계와 상응하는 평형방정식을 기초로 하여 구성된 단조증가 하중에 대한 모멘트-곡률 관계를 이용하여 부착-슬립에 따른 영향을 고려하고 있다. 또한 대변형 해석시 보다 개선된 결과를 얻기 위해 철근의 응력-변형률 관계에 착안한 곡선화 된 천이곡선을 사용하고 있다. 응력-변형률 관계에 기초하여 단면을 가상의 층상구조로 모사하는 적층단면법과 비교하여 제안된 모델은 단면의 거동을 모멘트-곡률 관계로 표현하는 관계로 대형구조물의 해석시 계산시간과 저장공간을 줄일 수 있는 잇점을 가지고 있다. 나아가 고정단회전과 pinching효과를 고려하기 위한 제안된 기본모델의 수정방안이 소개되고 있다. 마지막으로 제안된 모델식의 타당성을 검증하기 위하여 해석결과와 실험값들의 비교가 이루어졌다. 본 논문은 구조물의 미시적 측면에서 유효평균탄성계수를 결정하기 위한 균질화기법인 점근적 방법을 적용하였고, 탄성값을 조사하기 위하여 유한요소법으로 정식화하였다. 수치 예로서 물성치가 각기 다른 등방성 재료를 적층한 부재의 임의 단면에서 단위요소를 해석영역으로 설정하고 산출된 탄성계수를 기존의 해석방법으로부터 산출된 값과 비교하였다. 균질화기법으로 산출된 탄성계수는 과소평가되어 나타나며, 이는 해석영역을 유한요소정식화하는 과정에서 수정항만큼 차이가 난다는 것을 증명하였다. 기존 해석방법으로는 복합재료의 탄성계수가 단순히 재료의 산술적 평균값으로 계산되는 것과는 달리, 미시적으로 복합재 단위요소의 반복성을 고려함으로써 제안된 해석방법이 보다 유용하다는 것을 보여 주었다.

This paper explores the governing differential equations for the non-linear behavior of shear deformable simple beam with a concentrated load. In order to apply the Bernoulli-Euler beam theory to simple beam, the bending moment equation on any point of the elastica is obtained by concentrated load. The Runge-Kutta and Regula-Felsi methods, respectively, are used to integrate the governing differential equations and to compute the beam's rotation at the left end of the beams. The characteristic values of deflection curves for various load parameters are calculated and discussed

In this paper, the governing differential equations for the non-linear behavior of shear deformable variable-arc-length beams subjected to an end moment are derived. The beam model is based on the Bernoulli-Euler beam theory. The Runge-Kutta and Regula-Falsi methods, respectively, are used to integrate the governing differential equations and to compute the beam's rotation at the left end of the beams. Numerical results are compared with existing closed-form and numerical solutions by other methods for cases in which they are available. The characteristic values of deflection curves for various load parameters are calculated and discussed.

This study presents a new beam-column model comprising material nonlinearity and joint flexibility to predict the nonlinear response of reinforced concrete structures. The nonlinear behavior of connections has an outstanding role on the nonlinear response of reinforced concrete structures. In presented research, the joint flexibility is considered applying a rotational spring at each end of the member. To derive the moment-rotation behavior of beam-column connections, the relative rotations produced by the relative slip of flexural reinforcement in the joint and the flexural cracking of the beam end are taken into consideration. Furthermore, the considered spread plasticity model, unlike the previous models that have been developed based on the linear moment distribution subjected to lateral loads includes both lateral and gravity load effects, simultaneously. To confirm the accuracy of the proposed methodology, a simply-supported test beam and three reinforced concrete frames are considered. Pushover and nonlinear dynamic analysis of three numerical examples are performed. In these examples the nonlinear behavior of connections and the material nonlinearity using the proposed methodology and also linear flexibility model with different number of elements for each member and fiber based distributed plasticity model with different number of integration points are simulated. Comparing the results of the proposed methodology with those of the aforementioned models describes that suggested model that only uses one element for each member can appropriately estimate the nonlinear behavior of reinforced concrete structures.
