The purpose of this study is to investigate the performance of slab-beam-column subassemblage in the Ordinary Moment Frame(OMF). For this purpose, 3-story building was designed according to UBC and ACI building code(ACI 318-99) and the subassemblages of in the first story were constructed. The subassemblages were classified into interior and exterior. Each interior and exterior subassemblage is modeled by the 2/3 scale experimental specimens. All the specimens have the transverse beam and the columns on the slab have the lap splice as the typical exterior and interior slab-beam-column subassemblage. The interior subassemblage was tested under the constant axial force, while the exterior subassemblage was tested under the fluctuating axial force. Based on the results of the experiments, the performance of each subassemblage is evaluated and the failure mode is investigated.

본연구는 실물크기의 프리캐스트 콘크리트 판구조물의 부분구조체를 모형화하여 실험한 결과를 분석한 것이다. 구조물의 역학적 특성과 파괴성상을 파악하기 위한 구조실험은 실물크기의 구조물과 부재로써 실시하는 것이 가장 좋은 방법이지만, 이것은 치수가 크므로 공간적으로 제한을 받고 많은 시간과 비용을 필요로 하기 때문에 모형실험을 이용하게 된다. 이러한 모형실험을 최소한의 오차범위내에서 원형실험과 같은 재현하고 예측하도록 실험을 준비하는 데에는 상사법칙이 필요하게 된다. 모형은 무엇보다도 원형과의 응력-변형도 관계 등 구성재료에 대한 상사요구조건을 만족시키는 것이 중요하지만, 본 연구의 대상은 1/3축척으로써 기하학적인 요소와 사용재료에 대한 강도의 상사성만을 고려한 모형이다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 모형구조물의 거동을 원형실험결과와 비교하여 상사성 확보의 문제와 가능성을 조사하였다.

The essential difference between precast concrete structures and in situ concrete structures lies in the precast concrete panel structres, it is necessary to understand the bahavior of joints and their implications regarding overall structural behavior. Form such a point of view, this experimental study observes the components and joint behavior under the stress states expected of precast concrete panel structures subjected to lateral loads. 2 full-scale subassemblages were fabricated and tested. The test results show that the characteristics of horizontsl joints and wall coupling beams mainly govern the whole hahavior of P.C. structres.

The objective of this study is to provide the information on the techniques of manufacturing and experiment in small scale modeling of precast concrete(P.C.)large panel structures. The adopted scale was 1/5th 4types of experiments were performed : material tests for model concrete and model reinforcement, compressive test of horizontal joint, shear test of vertical joint and cyclic static test of 2-story subassemblage structure. Based on the experimental results, the following conclusions are drawn: (1)Model concrete may have in general larger compressive strength than expected. (2) Model reinforcement can show less ductility if the annealing processes were performed without using vaccuum tube. (3) Failure modes of horizontal and vertical joints were almost same for both prototype and model. But the strength of model appears to be higher than required by similitude law. (4)Hysteretic behavior of 1/5 scale subassemblage model can be made quite similar to prototype's if the ductility of model reinforcement and compressive strength of model concrete could be representative of those of prototype.

The objective of this study is to investigate the characteristics of elastic and inelasitc behavior of ductile moment-resisting reinforced concrete frame subhected to reversed lateral loading such as eqrthquake excitations. For this purpose, a 2-bay 2-story R.C. plane frame with seismic detail was designed and one 1/2.5-scale subassemblage was manufactured according to the required similitude law. Then the reversed load test under the displacement control was performed statically to this subassemblage. Finally the results of this test were analysed regarding to (1) the design load vs actual strength, (2) degradation in stiffness and strength, (3) failure mode or main plastic mechanism in energy dissipation, (4) local deformations.

In this study a new innovative method of earthquake-resistant strengthening of reinforced concrete structures is presented for the first time. Strengthening according to this new method consists of the construction of steel fiber ultra-high-strength concrete jackets without conventional reinforcement which is usually applied in the construction of conventional reinforced concrete jackets. An innovative solution is proposed also for the first time that ensures a satisfactory seismic performance of existing reinforced concrete structures, strengthened by using composite materials. The weak point of the use of such materials in repairing and strengthening of old R/C structures is the area of beam-column joints. According to the proposed solution, the joints can be strengthened with a steel fiber ultra-high-strength concrete jacket, while strengthening of columns can be achieved by using CFRPs. The experimental results showed that the performance of the subassemblage strengthened with the proposed mixed solution was much better than that of the subassemblage retrofitted completely with CFRPs.

The objective of this study is to clarify the seismic capacity and the characteristics in the hysteretic behavior of RC structures with non-seismic detailing. Interior and exterior beam-column subassemblages were selected from a ten-story RC building and six 1/3-scale specimens were constructed with three variables; (1) with and without slab, (2) with and without hoop bars in the Joint region, (3) upward and downward direction of anchorage for the bottom bar in beams of exterior beam-column subassemblage. The test results have shown; (1) in case of interior beam-column subassemblage, there is no almost difference between nonseismic and seismic details in the strength and ductility capacity; (2) the Korean practice of anchorage (downward and 25 $d_{b}$ anchorage length) in the exterior Joint caused the 10％~20％ reduction of strength and 27％ reduction of ductility iii comparison with tile case of seismic details; and the existence of hoop bars in the joint region shows no effect in shear strain.n.

In this study the progressive collapse resisting capacity of a RC beam-column subassemblage with and without strengthening was investigated. Total of five specimens were tested; two unreinforced specimens, the one designed as gravity load-resisting system and the other as seismic load-resisting system, and three specimens reinforced with: (i) bonded strand, (ii) unbonded strand, and (iii) side steel plates with stud bolts. The two-span subassemblages were designed as part of an eight-story RC building. Monotonically increasing load was applied at the middle column of the specimens and the force-displacement relationships were plotted. It was observed that the gravity load-resisting specimen failed by fractures of re-bars in the beams. In the other specimens no failure was observed until the maximum displacement capacity of the actuator was reached. Highest strength was observed in the structure with unbonded strand. The test result of the specimen with side steel plates in beam-column joints showed that the force-displacement curve increased without fracture of re-bars. Based on the test results it was concluded that the progressive collapse resisting capacity of a RC frame could be significantly enhanced using unbonded strands or side plates with stud bolts.

A typical structure was selected for a prototype and four 1:2.5 scaled models, representing the subassemblage including the interior column and the deep beam, were constructed. The transverse reinforcement was designed according to ACI procedure and the procedure proposed by Sheikh. In this study, the correlation between the experimental and analytical responses of the subassemblages subjected to the cyclic lateral displacement were evaluated through investigation of lateral load-lateral deformation, local deformation characteristics by using a nonlinear FEM analysis program RCAHEST.

The objective of this study is to clarify the seismic capacity and the characteristics in the hysteretic behavior of RC structures with non-seismic detailing. To do this, an exterior beam-column subassemblage was selected from a ten story RC building and six 1/3-scale specimens were manufactured with three variables; (1) with and without slab, (2) upward and downward direction of anchorage for the bottom bar in beams, and (3) with and without hoop bars in the joint region. The test results have shown that (1) the existence of slab increased the strength in positive and negative moment, 25% and 52%, respectively; (2) the Korean practice of anchorage (downward and 25 $d_{b}$ anchorage length) caused the 8% reduction of strength and the early strength degradation in comparison with the case of seismic details; and (3) the existence of hoop bars in the joint region shows significant role in preventing the pull-out.t.
