This paper presents the flexural capacities of one-way hollow slab with donut type hollow sphere. Recently, various types of slab systems which can reduce self-weight of slabs have been studied as the height and width of building structures rapidly increase. A biaxial hollow slab system is widely known as one of the effective slab system which can reduce self-weight of slab. A biaxial hollow slab has hollow spheres within slabs in order to reduce self-weight of slabs. The capacities of biaxial h

High-strength concrete is widely used in construction field. The growth has been possible as a result of recent developments in material technology and a demand for high-strength concrete. High-strength concrete has different mechanical properties from normal-strength, as many researches mentioned about. However, the existing equations and procedures for prediction of ultra-high strength concrete are based on tests using normal-strength concrete, yet. In this study, experiments on ultra-high-str

This paper presents optimal hollow sphere shapes in a biaxial hollow slab. To derive optimal shapes, numerical simulations using nonlinear Finite Element Methods were executed by the nonlinear finite element program ‘LUSAS’. Recently, various types of slab systems which can reduce self-weight of slabs have been studied as the height and width of building structures rapidly increase. A biaxial hollow slab system is widely known as one of the effective system which can reduce weight of slab. A bia

Unreinforced masonry (URM) structures represent a significant portion of existing historical structures around the world. Recent earthquakes have shown the need for seismic retrofitting for URM structures. Various types of strengthening methods have been used for URM structures. In particular, a strengthening technique using externally bonded (EB) fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composites has attracted engineers since EB FRP materials effectively enhance the shear strength of URM walls with negl

The seismic behavior of the lightly reinforced concrete frames (LRCFs) was controlled by the nonductile behavior of the critical regions. These critical regions require retrofit to improve the seismic behavior of the lightly reinforced concrete frames. Critical column end regions must be retrofit to increase the global ductility capacity. The objective of this research is to evaluate structural strengthening performance of lightly reinforced concrete frame with high performance fiber-reinforced

이 연구는 도넛형 중공형성체를 사용한 이방향 중공슬래브의 일방향 전단 성능에 관한 연구이다. 최근 건물의 고층화 및 장경간화로 인하여, 다양한 자중 저감형 슬래브 공법에 대한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 이방향 중공슬래브시스템은 구조성능 저하를 최소화하면서 자중을 효율적으로 줄일 수 있는 시스템으로 알려져 있다. 하지만 기존 연구에 따르면 이방향 중공슬래브는 일반 RC 슬래브에 비해 낮은 전단강도를 가지고 있으며, 이는 중공형상 및 중공형성체재료에 의해 영향을 받는 것으로 보고되고 있다. 또한 현재의 설계기준은 이방향 중공슬래브의 일방향 전단강도에 대해 명확한 기준을 제시하지 못하고 있다. 도넛형 이방향 중공슬래브의 일방향 전단강도를 확인하기 위하여, 총 4개의전단강도 실험체를 제작/실험하였다. 그 중 한 개의 실험체는 기준 RC 실험체이고 나머지는 모두 중공슬래브이다. 변수는 도넛형과 비도넛형 두 가지의 중공형상 및 일반 플라스틱과 유리섬유 강화 플라스틱 중공형성체로 설정하였다. 실험

The paper presents an experimental study on the behavior of axial loaded concrete-filled steel square-tube stub columns with high strength fiber reinforced concrete until failure. Four specimens were tested to investigate the effect of high strength concrete on the load carrying capacity of the concrete-filled steel square-tube stub columns. The effect of the presence of steel fiber in high strength concrete which filled in the steel tube was also investigated. The main parameters in the tests w

An experimental investigation was conducted with half-scale representations of the reinforced concrete shear walls with the opening subjected to cyclic loads. Specimens were half scale representations of a one-story wall in the apartment built in 1980. The area ratio of the opening section, as well as the size and critical section of coupling slabs, were decided based on results from a previous researches. The test result of WS-0.23 specimen, which has artificial damages to install the opening,

플랫 플레이트는 실의 배치가 지속적으로 바뀌는 오피스와 같이 유연한 공간의 배치를 위해 그 사용처가 증가하고 있다. 플랫 플레이트 구조를 사용함에 있어서 실무에서의 주요 문제는 슬래브-기둥 접합부에서 발생는 뚫림 전단 파괴에 대한 적절한 보강을 해주는 것이다. 이 연구에서는 플랫 플레이트 구조의 내부 슬래브-기둥 접합부에 대한 실험을 수행하였다. 세 가지의 특수한 전단 보강근이 구조물 전체의 파괴를 유발시킬 수 있는 플랫 플레이트 슬래브-기둥 접합부의 취성적인 뚫림 전단파괴를 방지하기 위해 제안되었다. 총 네 가지의 프랫 플레이트 실험체가 수직 방향의 단조 가력에 의해 수행되었다. 전단 보강근은 뚫림 전단강도를 높여주는 역할과 취성파괴를 방지하는 역할을 해 주었다. 수행된 실험에서 전단보강근이 충분한 정착길이를 확보하지 못하여 전단보강근의 항복 이전에 파괴가 일어났다. 실험 결과를 통한 FE 모델의 검증이 이루어졌으며 검증된 FE 모델을 통해 전단보강근의 부착 성능에 대한 변수 분석

Shear strength and deformability of reinforced concrete(R/C) framed shear wall with opening were investigated based on available experimental date. Results of 61 tests of R/C framed shear walls with opening were reviewed to evaluate the current design provisions (Architectural Institute of Japan guideline and ACI 318-02) for nominal shear strength. The results indicate that procedures defined in chapter 21(21.7.4) of ACI 318-02 were found to overestimate the shear strength of shear walls with op
