A new clamped mechanical splice system was proposed to develop structural performance and constructability for precast concrete connections. The proposed mechanical splice resists external loading immediately after the engagement. The mechanical splices applicable for both large-scale rebars for plants and small-scale rebars for buildings were developed with the same design concept. Quasi-static lateral cyclic loading tests were conducted with reinforced and precast concrete members to verify the seismic performance. Also, shaking table tests with three types of seismic wave excitation, 1) random wave with white noise, 2) the 2016 Gyeongju earthquake, and 3) the 1999 Chi-Chi earthquake, were conducted to confirm the dynamic performance. All tests were performed with real-scale concrete specimens. Sensors measured the lateral load, acceleration, displacement, crack pattern, and secant system stiffness, and energy dissipation was determined by lateral load-displacement relation. As a result, the precast specimen provided the emulative performance with RC. In the shaking table tests, PC frames’ maximum acceleration and displacement response were amplified 1.57 - 2.85 and 2.20 - 2.92 times compared to the ground motions. The precast specimens utilizing clamped mechanical splice showed ductile behavior with energy dissipation capacity against strong motion earthquakes.

In regions of low-to-moderate seismicity, various types of lap splices are used for longitudinal reinforcement of columns at the plastic hinge zones. The seismic performance of such lap spliced columns, such as strength, deformation capacity, and energy dissipation, is affected by material strengths, longitudinal re-bar size, confinement of hoops, lap splice location, and lap splice length. In the present study, cyclic loading tests were performed for columns using three types of lap splices (bottom offset bar splice, top offset bar splice, and splice without offset bend). Lap splice length(40db and 50db) was also considered as test parameters. Ties with 90-degree end hooks were provided in the lap splice length. The test results showed that strength, deformation capacity, and energy dissipation of columns significantly differed depending on the details and the length of lap splices. The bottom offset bar splice showed high ductility and energy dissipation but low strength; on the other hand, the top offset bar splice and the splice without offset bend showed high strength but moderate ductility and energy dissipation.

The plastic hinge region of RC pier ensures its nonlinear behavior during strong earthquake events. It is assumed that the piers secure sufficient strength and ductility in order to prevent the collapse of the bridge during strong earthquake. However, the presence of a lap-splice of longitudinal bars in the plastic hinge region may lead to the occurrence of early bond failure in the lap-splice zone and result in significant loss of the seismic performance. The current regulations for seismic performance evaluation limit the ultimate strain and displacement ductility considering the eventual presence of lap-splice, but do not consider the lap-splice length. In this study, seismic performance test and analysis are performed according to the cross-sectional size and the lap-splice length in the case of longitudinal bars with lap-splice located in the plastic hinge region of existing RC bridge columns with circular cross-section. The seismic behavioral characteristics of the piers are also analyzed. Based upon the results, this paper presents a more reasonable seismic performance evaluation method considering the lap-splice length and the cross-sectional size of the column.

It is known that seismic performance of existing bridges having insufficient lateral confinements and lap-splices of longitudinal reinforcements at the base of column decreases dramatically. In this study, small-scaled model tests have been performed to confirm the seismic behaviors of RC bridge piers with various lap-splice lengths. The 8 test models have circular section with diameters of 0.65 m, 0.8 m, 1.0 m, and lap-splice lengths of B-class or C-class. The test results show that the failure modes of models are not depending on the lap-splice length itself but depend on the ratio of lap-splice length to diameter, and that the displacement ductility is also affected by this ratio.

Strength bar has merits in workability improvement, construction time shortening and connection details to be easy. But, lap splice length tends to be longer. In this study, high strength threaded bar will be reviewed whether it is appropriate in domestic standards by KCI concrete structural criteria and propose the mechanical splice.

This paper presents the stress distribution of the damaged butt joint of steel plate using CFRP laminates when the flange in tension zone of steel box girder is welded by butt welding. When CFRP sheets are patched on tension flange of steel-box girder, the stress distribution of a vertical and normal direction on damaged welding part is shown as parameters such as a variation of the thickness of adhesive, the overlap length with steel, and the modulus of elasticity of CFRP sheets. For the study, we wrote the computer program using the EAS(Enhanced assumed strain) finite element method for plane strain that has a very fast convergency and exact stress for distorted shape.

고력볼트로서 슬립이 발생치 않도록 설계된 철골모멘트골조의 보 이음부의 내진거동을 반복재하 실물대 실험을 통하여 평가하였다. 예상과는 달리 모메트 접합부가 극한 소성강도에 도달하기 훨씬 이전에 보 이음부의 슬립이 발생하였다 실험을 통하여 관측된 마찰계수는 규준 공칭값의 50-60%에 불과하였다. 그러나 보 플랜지의 열영향부가 파단에 이르기 까지 슬립 이후의 지압거동을 통하여 증가되는 반복하중을 성공적으로 모멘트접합부로 전달하였다. 즉 반복하중 하에서도 보 이음부의 슬립이 곧바로 구조적 일체성의 상실로 이어지지는 않음이 관측되었다 볼토구멍을 공제한 보 플랜지 유효단면적의 전강도에 기준한 전통적 보 이음부 설계법에 의할 경우 모멘트 접합부의 소성강도 발현 이전에 보 이음부의 슬립발생 가능성이 높다 본 연구에서는 역량설계 개념에 기초하여 강진 작용시의 보 이음부의 설계와 관련한 추가 고려사항을 제안하였다.

초고층 및 장경간 등 대형 구조물에 대한 시공시 부재의 품질이 저하될 정도로 과다한 철근이 배근되고 있다는 문제점이 제기되고 있으며, 최근 건축되고 있는 초고층 건축물에서는 건물의 안정성과 내구성 등을 감안하여 사용 재료의 강도도 점차 증가하고 있다. 초고층 및 장경간 구조물의 시공에서 고강도 철근을 사용할 경우 기존의 일반 강도 철근에 비해 배근량 감소로 인하여 부재에서 배근 간격에도 여유를 줄 수 있어 시공성 향상, 공기단축, 접합부 상세가 간소화 되는 장점이 있다. 이 연구에서는 SD500, SD600 철근을 국내에서 설계되었거나 시공되 어진 라멘 구조 형식의 지하주차장 건축물에 적용하여 각 부재별로 철근의 강도에 따른 순수 철근량에 대한 정착 및 이음 철근량 증감을 비교 분석한 결과 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 계산된 철근의 정착 및 이음 물량은 사용철근의 강도가 증가함에 따른 정착 및 이음길이의 증가량과 순수 물량의 감소비율, 사용철근의 직경이 줄였을 때의 단면적 감소 등의 요인들에 의해 정착 및 이음 물량이 결정되었으며, 전체적으로 순수 물량에 대한 정착 및 이음 물량의 비율이 SD400대비 SD500의 경우는 증가하였지만 SD500대비 SD600의 경우는 감소하였다. 이는 보의 정착 및 이음 물량이 전체 정착 및 이음 물량에 미치는 영향이 크기 때문으로 판단된다. 한편 순수 물량에 대한 정착 및 이음 물량의 비율에서 SD400 과 SD500의 차이와 SD400과 SD600의 차이가 미미하여 철근의 정착 및 이음 물량이 강도 증가에 따른 전체 철근 물량의 증감에는 큰 영향을 주지 않는 것으로 파악되었다.

In this study, the 1-directional tension tests were conducted to evaluate ductility capacity of splice rebar. As a result, the ductility of the reinforced concrete members embedded in the coupler was significantly lower than that of general RC members.

In this study, the 3 point bending tests were conducted to evaluate ductility capacity of splice rebar. As a result, the difference in ductility between RC members embedded in the coupler and general RC members was not significant. For more accurate analysis, 4 point bending tests are considered to be necessary.

This study is to investigate the waterproofing effects on the splice length of the waterproofed sheet. A Total of 10 specimens were produced and tested in order to investigate the waterproofing effects for reinforced concrete members. Test variables are the lengths of splice, the attachment method of waterproofed sheet and existence of mesh. The splices’ length set as 5%, 6.6%, and 10% of waterproofed sheet’s width. Two ways of Epoxy adhesion and hot-melt were used. Also, the mesh put to enhance the adhesion capacity between waterproofed sheets. The results of the experimental test, the specimens which composed with splice length over 6.6% of waterproofed sheet, epoxy adhesion constructed and with/without mesh did not showed water leakage. Whereas, the specimen of splice length under 5% and epoxy applied showed water leakage. In addition, the specimen with mesh (BE-S1-M1) proved less water leakage than the one without mesh (BE-S1-M0).
