In recent years, the construction of high-rise buildings are promoted. According to these, there are many needs about new technologies to strengthen the building performance and high-strength steel is regarded as one of these for promoting building performance. In Korea, high-strength steels which stress are over 600MPa are on market and in aborad, super high-strength steels over 1000MPa are developing and they expected to promote the building performance. But there are still doubts about applying high-strength steel members because of size effect and worry of brittle fracture. In this reports, we propose results of performance and analysis tests for use with general steel. We propose the characteristic of high-strength steels first and next the results of performance test to show they satisfy the performance that designers expect. And last, we compare the results of test and analysis for acquire the alanysis reliability in non-linear analysis with high-strength steels.

Under the huge seismic loads, there are too many risks about which high-rise buildings lost their lateral stiffness caused by plasticity on frame members. Because of earthquake is important cause to bring the collapes countinue to human’s life, many reports examined these phenomenons in various angles. And some of them reported the high possibility about building collapse by deformation concentrations under huge earthquakes. For preventing these phenomenons, researchers suggest some items-such as adding damping devices or strengthen their ductility or stifness. This report suggests choose the method of strengthen building stiffness and suggests the alternative designs using high strength steel-SM570TMC, and provides the results of time-history analysis about the alternative designs for investigation

The hydrogen embrittlement of high strength steel for automobiles was evaluated by small punch (SP) test. The test specimens were fabricated to be 5 series, having various chemical compositions according to the processes of heat treatment and working. Hydrogen charging was electrochemically conducted for each specimen with varying of current density and charging time. It was shown that the SP energy and the maximum load decreased with increasing hydrogen charging time in every specimen. SEM investigation results for the hydrogen containing samples showed that the fracture behavior was a mixed fracture mode having 50% dimples and 50% cleavages. However, the fracture mode of specimens with charging hydrogen changed gradually to the brittle fracture mode, compared to the mode of other materials. All sizes and numbers of dimples decreased with increasing hydrogen charging time. These results indicate that hydrogen embrittlement is the major cause of fracture for high strength steels for automobiles; also, it is shown that the small punch test is a valuable test method for hydrogen embrittlement of high strength sheet steels for automobiles.

본 연구에서는 고온시 고강도강재를 사용한 엔드플레이트 접합부의 회전 거동 변화를 파악하기 위해 유한요소 해석프로그램을 이 용하여 모델링하고 기존 연구를 대상으로 비교분석한다. Eurocode 3에서는 휨 저항모멘트에 대한 예측식이 주어지고, 이를 통해 3가지 파괴모 드를 파악한다. 해석 모델은 온도, 엔드플레이트 두께 및 강재를 변수로 하여 이에 따른 초기회전강성, 소성회전강성 및 휨 저항모멘트 등을 분 석한다. 회전강성 및 휨 저항모멘트는 엔드플레이트의 두께 및 재료에 따른 변화를 온도 별로 분석하고 회귀식을 제시하여 고강도강재를 사용 한 접합부의 변화를 비교하고자 한다. 그 결과 초기회전강성은 1차식, 소성회전강성 및 휨 저항모멘트는 2차식으로 회귀식을 제시하였다. 고온 시 고강도강재는 일반강재에 비해 휨 저항모멘트비는 감소하였고 두께에 대한 영향이 더 작았다. 고온시 고강도강재를 적용하였을 때 상온시 에 비해 초기회전강성 기울기는 감소하였고 휨 저항모멘트의 증가율은 완만하게 나타났으며, 소성회전강성 변화는 영향을 미치지 않았다.

To evaluate the ductility of high strength steel beam-to-column connections, Cycle loading connection test was conducted targeting HSA800 steel being developed in Korea and parameter is connection details. According to the study, The non-scallop detail and improved horizontal rib reinforcement detail used in this study enhanced deformation capacity of high strength steel connections which have brittle tendency by stress relaxation.
