This paper discusses the influence of transverse reinforcement spacing and support width of concrete wide beam on shear performance. In order to evaluate the shear performance, a total of thirteen specimens were constructed and tested. The transverse reinforcement spacing, the number of legs and support width were considered as variables. From the test results, the shear strength equation of concrete wide beam is proposed for prediction of shear strength of concrete wide beam to consider the transverse reinforcement spacing and support width. It is shown that the proposed equation is able to predict shear strength reasonably well for concrete wide beam.

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. T he 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.

In this paper, we present the result of analytical investigation pertaining to the structural behavior of steel-concrete composite plate girder with arch-type web stiffener. In the arch-type web stiffener located in the compression side of web, infill concrete is cast to strengthen the arch-type stiffener and also to exert resisting force against compression force. This type of composite steel-concrete plate girder bridge is built and is in service. To understand the behavior thoroughly, analytical parametric study was conducted by using the finite element method. As a result it was found that the effect of arch-type stiffener with infill concrete is considerable for the design of such type composite girder bridge.

This study presents an experimental study of the structural behavior for steel plate-concrete column-to-steel girder connections. Experiments were carried out to investigate the moment-rotation characteristics, failure behavior and ultimate moment capacity of these connections. The results of this experimental study involving three welded moment-resisting connections subjected to cyclic loading are presented. The specimens were fabricated at full scale to evaluate their hysteretic behavior. A description of the test specimens, the details of the joint, the test system and the testing methods are described. The test results showed that the structural behavior of these composite connections was influenced by the connection details.

In this study, flexural strength properties of SC shear walls were investigated through static pushover test. Failure modes and stiffness characteristics of SC shear walls under lateral loads were inspected by analyzing the experimental results. Main failures of unstiffened SC shear walls were found to be the type of bending shear failure due to the unbonding of the steel plate at the concrete interface. The ductility capacity of SC structures was also confirmed to be improved, which is considered to be a confining effect on steel plates in the longitudinal behavior of SC shear walls.

Steel plate concrete (SC) composite structure is now being recognized as a promising technology applicable to nuclear power plants as it is faster and suitable for modular construction. It is required to identify its dynamic characteristics prior to perform the seismic design of the SC structure. Particularly, the damping ratio of the structure is one of the critical design factors to control the dynamic response of structure. This paper compares the criteria for the damping ratios of each type of structures which are prescribed in the regulatory guide for the nuclear power plant. In order to identify the damping ratio of SC shear wall, this study made SC wall specimens and conducted experiments by cyclic lateral load tests and vibration tests with impact hammer. During the lateral loading test, SC wall specimens exhibited large ductile capacities with increasing amplitude of loading due to the confinement effects by the steel plate and the damping ratios increased until failure. The experimental results show that the damping ratios increased from about 6% to about 20% by increasing the load from the safe shutdown earthquake level to the ultimate strength level.

최근 국내에서는 원자력발전소의 모듈화 공법에 적용하기 위하여 SC(steel plate concrete) 구조를 개발하는 연구를 진행하고 있다. 이 연구에서는 전단보강이 없는 비보강 SC 전단벽의 횡방향 내진성능 및 강성특성에 대하여 분석하기 위하여 전단벽 모형시편을 제작하고, 이를 대상으로 정적가력실험을 수행하였다. 실험 결과를 이용하여, 이 논문에서는 비보강 SC 구조의 횡력에 대한 파괴모드의 유형을 분석하고, 단면강도와 부재의 강성 특성을 검토하였다. 그리고 SC 구조용 설계기준에서 제시하는 단면의 강도 계산식과실험결과를 비교하였다. 연구결과, 비보강 SC 전단벽의 파괴 형태의 하나는 콘크리트와 강판의 부착 상실로 인한 휨전단파괴라는 사실을발견하였다. SC 구조 전단벽의 벽체 길이방향 거동은 파괴 시까지 벽체 외측의 강판이 내부 콘크리트를 구속하는 효과를 기대할 수 있으므로 연성능력이 향상되는 것이 확인되었다

An experimental study was performed to investigate the cyclic behavior of steel plate walls with reinforced concrete frames. Three specimens of three-story steel plate walls with reinforced concrete frames were tested. The parameters for the test specimens were the reinforcement ratio of the column and coupling wall. A reinforced concrete infilled wall and a reinforced concrete frame were also tested for comparison. The steel plate walls with reinforced concrete frames exhibited much better ductility and energy dissipation capacity than the reinforced concrete infilled wall and the reinforced concrete frame. The results showed that unlike other structural systems, the steel plate wall with reinforced concrete frames has excellent deformation capacity as well as strength, and can therefore be used as an effective earthquake-resisting system. This result indicates that not only steel frames but also reinforced concrete frames can be used in the steel plate wall system.

In this study, the seismic performance of RC frames reinforced with steel plate concrete was conducted by applying steel plate concrete into the existing RC frame and RC frame in order to evaluate the seismic reinforcement effect of steel plate concrete. The results showed that the reinforced specimen with steel plate concrete showed higher strength than the existing RC frame specimen, and the time of yield was also measured later. Therefore, sufficient seismic reinforcement effect can be expected through steel plate concrete.

This paper presents the design guidance of steel-plate concrete(SC) wall with the tie-bar component in the external and internal construction technology. AISC N690 Appendix N9 in U.S and KEPIC SNG (2010) in Korea are new design guidance for SC structure of nuclear power plant.

최근 거푸집 작업과 철근 배근 공정을 생략하여 공정의 단순화를 통한 공기단축 합성 슬래브 시스템의 개발 연구가 진행 중이다. 이 연구에서는 구조용 데크플레이트를 활용하여 거푸집 및 인장철근의 배근을 대체하고 강섬유보강 콘크리트를 사용하여 온도철근의 역할을 대 체하는 단순슬래브 시스템의 장기거동을 평가하는 것이 목적이다. 구조용 데크플레이트를 활용하는 기존 합성슬래브 공법은 건조수축에 의한 균열 제어를 위해 용접 철망을 배근하는 것이 일반적이나, 이는 균열을 억제하는 데 효과적이지 못한 것으로 선행연구들에서 지적되었다. 본 연구에서는, 일반적인 건축물의 하중 조건으로 제작 된 연속 두 경간을 갖는 강섬유보강 데크플레이트 슬래브의 장기적인 균열 및 처짐 거동을 평가하도록 하였다. 실험 결과, 실험체의 비 내력부에서는 장기균열의 개수 및 폭이 현저하게 감소하는 것으로 나타나 강섬유보강 콘크리트의 건조수축과 균열 제어 성능이 우수한 것으로 평가되었으며,,처짐량도 강섬유보강 데크플레이트 슬래브가 우수한 것을 확인하였다. 다만, 부모 멘트가 작용되는 슬래브 연속단부에서는 사용하중 단계에서 균열폭을 제어하고 하중 제거 시 처짐을 회복하기 위한 디테일의 적용이 필요한 것으로 분석되었다.

이 연구에서는 SC 전단벽의 전단 연결재인 스터드의 배치와 형상이 SC 전단벽의 거동에 미치는 영향을 살펴보기 위해 전단벽체가 강제진동을 받을 때의 거동을 해석적으로 검토하였다. 이를 위해 서로 다른 배치간격과 형상의 스터드가 배열된 SC 전단벽을 대상으로 유한요 소해석을 수행하였다. 그 결과, 시간이력해석으로부터 구한 감쇠비가 파워반감대역폭법이 전반적으로 높게 그리고 적합지수함수법이 가장 낮은 수준으로 산정했으며 설계강도 절반정도에서의 감쇠비는 3.0~4.2%로, 설계강도에서는 4.1~5.2%로 나타남을 알 수 있었다. 또한, 개선된 스터드를 사용할 때, 감쇠비가 약간 감소하였고 DS1과 DS2 간에는 일관된 결과가 나타나지 않았다. 스터드의 간격이 필요이상 증가할 경우, 고유진동수가 감소하고 감쇠비가 증가함을 확인하였다.

This study analytically reviewed the dissipated energy and ductility of Steel Plate Concrete (SC) walls subjected to cyclic shear forces to investigate the effects of shape and arrangement spacing of studs on the design of SC walls. As the decrease of stud spacings, the cumulative dissipate energy was increased and the seismic performance was improved. Under the same cumulative dissipate energy, the ductility was increased as the increase of stud spacings and the influences with stud type was insignificant.
