The non-welded building hardware method can reduce accidents caused by welding, and can be constructed by bolt assembly, which can reduce labor costs and shorten the construction period. This study is to compare and verify the performance according to the location where the brackets are joined to the joints using the non-welded building hardware method

In recent years, non-welded building hardware that can be installed by bolt assembly is used, which does not require fire prevention related materials, fire fighting equipment and personnel. However, there is a need for a method to compensate for the occurrence of buckling at the bolted portion at the time of construction.The purpose of this study is to evaluate the behavior of joints that can control the sliding between members by using anti slip brackets.

This study investigates structural behaviors such as ultimate strength and weld metal fracture mechanism of carbon steel (SS400) fillet-welded connections with shielded metal arc welding (SMAW) through monotonic tensile test. Specimens of TFW series (transverse fillet weld against loading direction) and LFW series (longitudinal fillet weld) failed by tensile fracture and shear fracture, respectively in the weld metal of connections. Test strengths of specimens were compared according to welding direction and weld length.

In the nuclear power plant, safety-related structures have been used above No. 11 rebar. It needs to mechanical connection device to join RC to SC walls because ACI 349 presents that lap splices shall not be used for bars larger than No.11 bar. The tensile performance tests were performed to confirm structural integrity on the mechanical connection device. But performing the tests in accordance with various connection cases has limitations, such as time or cost. Therefore, computational analysis methodology is developed in order to verify structural integrity for various connection cases.

When reinforcing an existing reinforced concrete beam-column building with a precast concrete panel, special connection between the PC member and the RC member is required to solve the time dependent deformation of the RC member and to receive the large shear forces. The aim of this study is to obtain the shear strength of upper connection between the existing RC beam-column and infilled PC wall panels in experimentally and theoretically. Thus, the static shear loading tests were conducted on the 6 specimens with the plate connection. Shear failure was resulted from the weakest portion of interior PC panel, exterior RC, and the connection, when the PC portion which located at the center of specimen was pulled upward from the bottom. The experimental result was compared with analytical result from ACI 318M-14 Chapter 17 for the shear strength of post-installed anchor and PCI Handbook 7th edition 6.8 Structural Steel Corbel (PCI Design Handbook 7th edition, 2010) for the strength of cast-in H-beam. The analytical and experimental results show final failure at the same location. The failure loading of experiment showed larger than average 6% to that of the analysis.

This study focused on the ultimate strength and curling effect on the strength of single shear bolted connection with austenitic sainless steel (STS201) using finite element analysis. The validation of finite element analysis was verified through the comparisons of ultimate strength and fracture mode between existing test results and numerical predictions. Curling (out-of-plane deformation) was observed in both test and analysis and it reduced the ultimate strength of single shear bolted connections with relatively long end distances. Strength reduction ratio caused by curling was estimated quantitatively by maximum 19%, 32%, respectively for specimens with edge distance, 48mm and 60mm compared with strengths of uncurled connections with restrained out-of-plane deformation.
