본 논문에서는 풍력터빈과 하부구조물을 연결하는 L형 플랜지 볼트 접합부의 거동 특성에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. L형 플랜지 볼 트 접합부는 링(Ring) 형태의 L형 단면 플랜지가 볼트에 의해 상하 체결되는 방식으로서 국내 풍력터빈에서 주로 적용되고 있는 연결 방식이다. 특히 풍력타워 구조물은 이들 연결부의 손상이 전체 구조시스템의 붕괴로 이어질 수 있으므로 중요한 구조 요소 중 하나이 다. 따라서 L형 플랜지 볼트 접합부에 대한 정확한 거동 특성의 이해가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 FE 해석을 통하여 L형 플랜지에 작용 하는 외력과 볼트장력의 관계, 그리고 L형 플랜지의 응력분포 변화를 외력 작용 단계별로 분석하였다. 여기서 FE 해석모델은 실제 링 형태의 L형 플랜지를 단일볼트의 L형 플랜지로 이상화하였다. 또한 볼트장력과 작용외력의 관계를 이론적으로 제안한 Petersen, Schmidt와 Neuper 그리고 VDI 2230의 볼트-외력 곡선모델에서 언급되는 접합부의 거동 불연속점과 FE 해석결과를 비교함으로써 FE 해석조건의 적절성을 검증하고, 각 볼트-외력 곡선모델의 특징과 L형 플랜지 볼트 접합부 거동 특성을 분석하였다. 그리고 L형 플랜 지 단면 제원을 일부 변화시켜 볼트-외력 곡선의 변화를 분석하였다.

Single-layered grid space steel roof structure is an architectural system in which the structural ability of the nodal connection system greatly influences the stability of the entire structure. Many bolt connection systems have been suggested to enhance for better construct ability, but the structural behavior and maximum resistance of the connection system according to the size of bolt clearance play were difficult to identify. In particular, the identification of bending stiffness of the connection system is very important due to the characteristics of shell structures in which membrane stresses based on bending force effect significantly. To identify effective structural behavior and maximum bearing force, four representative nodal connection systems were selected and nonlinear numerical analysis were performed. The numerical analysis considering the size of the bolt clearance were performed to investigate structural behavior and maximum values of the bending force. In addition, the type of effective nodal connection system were evaluated. As a result, the connection system, which has two shear plane, represented high bending stiffness.

To overcome the weakness of spread foundation in large space structure, the research of precast pile for replace spread foundation have been conducted. The new type of joint between PHC pile and steel column is named HAT Joint(Hollow hAlf-sphere cast-sTeel Joint). It connected PHC Pile by bolt that verification of bolt connection should be accomplished. In this paper, pull-out test and flexural performance for HAT Joint to verifying the bolt connection is explained. As a result, the pull-out and flexural capacities of bolt were checked to use in real structure. Furthermore, the equation of pull-out strength was proposed.

Fiber reinforced plastic (FRP) structural shapes are readily available in civil engineering applications. Among many manufacturing techniques used for FRP structural shapes, pultrusion process is one of the most widely used techniques in civil engineering applications. Pultrusion is a manufacturing process for producing continuous lengths of reinforced polymeric plastic structural shapes with constant cross-section. Pultruded composites are attractive for structural applications because of their continuous mass production with excellent mechanical properties. This paper presents the results of investigations pertaining to the bolted connection with two bolts for the pultruded FRP (PFRP) structural members. PFRP bolted connection tests were conducted with end distance to bolt diameter ratio (e1/db) and two types of bolt pattern such as horizontal (Pattern A) and vertical arrangement (Pattern B). As a result, it is found that the e1/db is recommended as the ratio of 4. In addition, it is also found that the bearing strengths at failure of the Pattern A and Pattern B have a similar value.

본 논문에서는 볼트로 체결된 강재 조립 합성보의 휨거동에 대한 유한요소해석을 통하여 휨거동 특성을 분석하였다. 두개의 강재보가 볼트로 체결되어 횡하중을 받을 때 발생하는 볼트의 합성효과, 강판사이의 마찰특성을 고려하였다. 체결에 사용된 볼트의 갯수 및 마찰계수의 변화에 따른 변위, 휨응력 그리고 전단응력을 쉘 요소를 사용한 유한요소해석에 의해 계산하였다. 이런 결과들은 완전 비합성보, 부분 합성보와 완전 합성보의 해석치와 비교되었다. 해석결과 합성보의 거동은 강재의 마찰보다 볼트의 갯수로 표현되는 합성률에 크게 영향을 받았다. 합성률이 에 도달할 때 합성보의 거동은 완전 합성보와 유사함을 보였다.

강구조물은 부재를 볼트 연결이나 용접을 이용하여 분절 제작된 부재를 연결하여 사용하고 있다. 볼트 연결된 강구조물의 경우 사용기간 증가에 따라 부분적인 볼트 풀림이나 볼트 이음판 및 볼트의 국부적 부식손상이 발생할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 강거더 복부판에 설치된 볼트의 교체나 복부판의 부분 교체 시 발생할 수 있는 복부판 볼트 제거에 따라 나타날 수 있는 강거더의 거동 변화를 평가하기 위하여 강거더 실험체를 대상으로 복부판의 볼트 풀림에 따른 거동 변화를 평가 하였다. 다양한 풀림과정을 고려하였으며, 볼트 연결부에 작용하중 상태를 고려하여 볼트 풀림을 강거더 시험체 재하 상태에서 실시하고 그 영향을 정량적으로 비교하였다.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the reduction of clamping force of TS (torque shear) bolted connection under fatigue loading. Generally, TS bolt has been totally tightened by torque shear wrench. However the plant structures experienced various fatigue loadings that makes reduction of clamping force of TS bolt. Therefore, this study conducted to the fatigue load test.

Some researchers suggested that bolt slippage occurred in column-tree connection type. In this paper, bolt slippage was evaluated on different depth of beam. When the length of beam set 7,500 mm equally, three depth of beams was 600, 500, 400mm, respectively. Also, column size of all specimens was same, and panel zones was strongly reinforced to evaluate bolt slippage in beams. As a result of full-scale testing, the bolt slippage of all specimens was occurred within plastic rotation ± 2.0%. It was showed that the effect of bolt slippage on depth of beam was slight.

This study investigates the ultimate strength and curling influence in single shear bolted connection with 7075-T6 aluminum alloys using numerical approach. The applicability of finite element analysis was validated through the comparison between existing test results and numerical predictions. Curling was observed in some specimens with a relatively long end distance and reduced the ultimate strength of bolted connection. Strength reduction ratio by curling was estimated quantitatively and it is known that curling caused the strength reduction by maximum 21%.

In this study, tensile behavior of friction joint with high strength bolt was examined according to sectional damage of bolt which cause the reduction of clamping force in the bolt. Thus, tensile strength test was conducted for bolt joint specimen with the decreased clamping force developed by the sectional damage of bolt.
