A parametric study was carried out to gain an insight about structural performances considering abnormal behavior effects in high strength steel pipe strut system. Six load cases were considered as undesirable deflections of strut structures, which are basic load combination, excessive excavation situations, impact loading effects, additional overburden loads, load combinations, and 50% reduction of strut length. Subsequent simulation results present various influences of parameters on structural performances of the strut system. Based on the results, we propose methods to prevent unusual behaviors of pipe-type strut structures made of high strength steels.

Steel pipe pile, which is used for the base of structures, need the reinforcing head method to prove enough dynamic performance. Currently there are various reinforcing head methods are used, but most of them have problems of structural complications and heavy charges. Thus, this study is to develop a reinforcing head method for steel pipe piles using hook type bending reinforcement, which can fix piles using nuts, and experimentally prove structural performances.

This study was performed to develop a reinforcing head method for steel pipe piles using screw type bending reinforcement, which can fix piles using nuts, and experimentally prove structural performances. In order to do so, steel pipe pile reinforcing head method test specimen using screw bending iron was produced and implemented to vertical tensile test, vertical compression test, and horizontal loading test. As a result, the test showed that it secured 1.28-3.62 times safety factors that are demanded from the design criteria for highway bridge.

본 연구에서는 SD500 고강도 철근에 적합한 강관 스플라이스 슬리브를 개발한 후에 실물크기의 20개 실험체를 제작하여 가력실험을 실시하였다. 그리고 강도를 비롯한 구조성능을 철근의 정착길이, 슬리브의 타입, 철근의 규격과 같은 실험변수에 따른 영향을 분석하고, 국내기준을 비롯한 주요기준에 따라서 비교, 평가하였다. 실험 결과는 SD500 고강도 철근용으로 개발된 강관 스플라이스 슬리브 철근이음은 주요기준에서 요구하는 구조성능을 가지고 있는 것으로 확인되었고 SD500 고강도 철근용 슬리브 철근이음에 대한 구조설계 기준 확립을 위한 기술적 자료를 제시하였다.
