Abstract

Recent test results on reduced beam section (RBS) steel moment connections show that specimens with a bolted web connection tend to perform poorly due to premature brittle fracture of the beam flange at the weld access hole. A review of previous test results indicates that the higher incidence of base metal fracture in bolted-web specimens is related, at least in part, to the web bolt slippage and the high stress concentration at the weld access hole with the lowest material toughness. The practice of providing web bolts uniformly along the beam depth based on the classical beam theory is questioned in this paper. A new seismic design procedure, which is more consistent with the actual load path identified from the analytical and experimental studies, is proposed together with improved connection details. A test specimen designed following the proposed procedure exhibited a cyclic connection rotation capacity sufficient for special moment frames without fracture.

보 플랜지 절취형 (Reduced Beam Section, RBS) 내진 철골모멘트접합부의 최근 실험결과를 살펴보면, 보 웨브를 볼트 접합한 시험체는 보 웨브를 용접한 시험체에 비해 조기에 스캘럽에서 취성파단이 발생하는 열등한 내진성능을 나타냈다. 과거 여러 연구자들이 수행한 실험 결과 및 본 연구의 수치해석 결과를 종합해 볼 때, 이러한 접합부의 조기 취성파괴는 고전 휨이론과 매우 다른 응력전달 메카니즘에서 기인하는 웨브 볼트의 슬립, 그리고 재료의 인성이 가장 낮은 스캘럽 부근의 응력집중과 밀접한 관련이 있는 것으로 분석된다. 본 연구에서는 실험 및 해석결과를 바탕으로 RBS 접합부의 실제 응력전달경로에 부합되는 새로운 보 웨브 볼트 설계법 및 개선된 상세를 제시하고 실물대 실험을 통하여 방안의 타당성을 입증하였다.
