저층 장스팬 철골프레임에는 강재절감을 위해 휨모멘트 저항에 극대화한 판폭 두께비가 큰 변단면 부재를 사용하고 있다. 게다가, 밀착조임 볼트접합은 고장력 볼트조임에 비하여 공사비 절감과 시공용이성의 장점을 지니고 있다. 한편, 밀착조임 엔드플레이트 접합사용에 다수 장점을 가지고 있음에도 불구하고 구조적 거동 및 해석상의 복잡함이 존재한다. 이에 본 연구에서는 밀착조임 엔드플레이트 접합형 변단면 부재에 대한 실대형 실험을 행하였다. 변수로는 체결 토크치, 재하패턴, 볼트종류, 접합부 파괴형이다. Silva et al.과 AISC(2003)에서 제시한 강성 및 내력식을 이용한 예측결과를 실험결과와 비교하였다.
The current trends in steel construction involve the use of tapered sections to minimize the use of excess materials to the extent possible, by choosing cross-sections that are as economical as possible abandoning the classical approach of using prismatic members. In addition, snug-tightened connections, especially the end-plate type, have the advantage of fetching less construction costs and shorter assembly times as opposed to fully tightened joints. Although they have many merits, however, snug-tightened bolted end plates are extremely complex in their structural behavior. In this study, an experimental investigation of the snug-tightened flush end-plate connections of tapered beams were conducted. The primary test parameters were the torque for the clamping bolt, the loading pattern, the bolt type and the connection failure type. Using initial stiffness and load-carrying capacity as proposed by Silva et al. and AISC (2003), the moment-rotation curve of a linearly tapered member with a snug-tightened flush end-plate connection was predicted. Moreover, numerical and experimental data for moment-rotation curves were compared.
