Steel plate shear walls (SPSWs) have been recognized as an effective seismic-force resisting systems due to their excellent strength and stiffness characteristics. The infill steel plate in a SPSW is constrained by a boundary frame consisting of vertical and horizontal structural members. The main purpose of this study was to investigate deformation modes and hysteretic characteristics of steel plate shear walls (SPSWs) to consider the effects of their aspect ratios and width-to-thicness ratios. The finite element model (FEM) was establish in order to simulate cyclic responses of SPSWs which have the two-side clamped boundary condition and made of conventional steel grade. The stress distribution obtained from the FEA results demonstrated that the principal stresses on steel plate with large thickness-to-width ratio were more uniformly distributed along its horizontal cross section due to the formation of multiple struts.

The concrete wall panels are composed of various members such as studs, brackets, bolts and nuts, etc. Embedded studs in the concrete wall resist transferred lateral and horizontal load in the structure. The thickness of the concrete wall influences shear behavior of embedded studs. The finite element analysis was carried out with respect to the thickness of the concrete wall to investigate shear behavior of embedded studs. The numerical analysis results were compared with the experimental results and confirmed that The deformation of the stud anchor is reduced with an increase of the thickness of the concrete wall.

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.

최근에 지어진 건축물의 경우 지진에 대한 안전성을 확보하고 있지만, 내진설계 도입 이전의 건축물은 지진에 대해 매우 취약하다. 본 연구에서는 내진성능이 부족한 기존 저층 RC구조물의 지진 발생 시 안전성 확보를 위한 내진보강 방안으로 격자강판 전단벽을 제안하고 내진성능평가를 수행하였다. 횡력저항요소로 사용된 격자강판 전단벽의 탄소성 이력특성값은 실험결과를 토대로 횡력저항 기여도등을 평가하여 작성된 이선형곡선을 적용하였다. 비탄성 정적해석을 통해 대상구조물의 성능점을 찾아내어 적용 지진하중에 대한 응답과 성능수준을 평가하였다. 격자강판 전단벽을 적용한 경우, 보강 전에 비하여 응답변위가 약 42% 저감되는 것을 확인할 수 있었으며, 성능점에서 거의 탄성거동을 보여주고 있어 목표성능인 인명안전수준을 만족시켰다. 또한 반응수정계수를 산정하여 내진보강 효과를 검증하였으며, 보강 전과 후에 각각 2.17에서 3.25로 증가하여 설계기준을 초과하였다. 따라서 격자강판 전단벽에 의해 대상 구조물의 강도 및 강성보강이 적절히 수행된 것으로 판단된다.

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.

The recently constructed buildings are ensuring seismic safety with enhanced design criteria. But, the buildings unapplied enhanced design criteria are very weak. In this study, steel grid shear wall is proposed as a solution of seismic retrofit to ensure safety of the existing buildings for the earthquake. And the structural performance experiments were carried out under axial force and cyclic lateral loads. The two specimens were made of a reference RC frame and steel grid shear wall in-filled RC frame. The test setup configured with two dynamic actuators, for the axial force with a 500kN capacity actuator and for the cyclic lateral load applied with the 2,000kN actuator. Compared with control specimen, the strength, stiffness, ductility, energy dissipation capacity of the seismic retrofit structures is evaluated.

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.

이 연구에서는 SC 전단벽의 전단 연결재인 스터드의 배치와 형상이 SC 전단벽의 거동에 미치는 영향을 살펴보기 위해 전단벽체가 전단력과 축하중을 받을 때의 거동을 해석적으로 검토하였다. 이를 위해 서로 다른 형상과 배열의 스터드가 배열된 SC 전단벽을 대상으로 유한요소해석을 수행하였다. 스터드의 간격이 과하게 떨어져 있을 경우 합성거동이 완벽하게 작용하지 못하며 강판이 설계곡선의 2차 항복 전단력 보다 적은 하중에서 항복함을 확인하였다. 스터드의 형상은 일반형 스터드뿐만 아니라 개선된 경사형 스터드도 전단거동에 큰 차이를 나타내지 않았고, 스터드의 간격이 합성거동에 영향을 미침을 확인하였다. 또한 이 연구를 통하여 경사형 스터드가 일반형 스터드에 비해 좌굴을 제어하는데 효과가 있음을 확인하였다.

This study reviewed analytically the behavior of Steel Plate Concrete(SC) walls subjected to shear forces to investigate the effects of shape and arrangement spacing of studs on the design of SC walls. The results showed that the steel plate was yielded at the lower load than the second yielding shear force of the design skeleton curve when the spacing of stud is excessively far from each other. It is also found that the shape of the stud did not affect the shear behavior of SC wall, however, the spacing influenced to its composite action.
