| Abstract | The design specifications and literatures related to SRC columns and beamcolumn connections in the United States, Japan, and Taiwan were collected for the revision of Taiwan Design Specifications and Commentary of Steel- Reinforced-Concrete Structures. The revision recommendation will be expected to be an essential reference for design and construction of SRC structures in Taiwan. Design of Reinforced-Concrete-Column and steel beam connection (called RCS connection) has been included in the design specifications of United States and Japan. However, this connection type has not been included in Taiwan specifications. This work was focused on revision of SRC code in Taiwan. In terms of SRC column design, concrete strength, steel strength, column reinforcement spacing, and column width-to-thickness ratio are revised based on AISC 341 (2016). Integrating the design theories of U.S. and Japan, as well as the research results in Taiwan, a new section of RCS design was recommended to the updated SRC code. |

| 摘要 | 挫屈束制支撐（buckling-restrained brace, BRB）能經濟且有效地提升結構勁度、強度與韌性消能行為，已廣泛運用於建築結構系統。桁架圍束式挫屈束制支撐（truss-confined BRB, TC-BRB）為新型BRB，特點在中央圍束鋼管外再配置由特定數量、方向及尺寸之桁架系統，並與中央鋼管共同構成圍束單元，提供所需之撓曲剛度。此種桁架圍束系統可使中央鋼管與內灌砂漿之斷面大幅下降，能減少自重但仍維持設計強度；此優勢特別利於長跨與高軸力BRB 之應用。本研究擴充、改良與簡化過去研究的理論模型與設計方法，提出變斷面桁架圍束系統及中央鋼管等效剛度的精確計算方法，利用能量法評估圍束單元彈性挫屈強度，並提供簡化計算方式。為進一步驗證分析理論，本研究新增規劃兩組1/3 縮尺之變斷面TC-BRB 試體，設計長度與強度分別約為6.3 米與90 噸，採用國震中心多軸向試驗系統進行反覆載重試驗。藉由四組試驗結果提出圍束單元彈性挫屈強度與整體TC-BRB 壓力強度計算方法，並建議工程實務應用時可採用的設計參數。此外，本研究提出一套有限元素模型分析方法，能有效模擬弦桿殘餘應力效應及BRB 壓拉強度差異現象，驗證圍束單元彈性挫屈強度理論分析的可靠度，並可有效模擬TC-BRB 實際受力變形反應。 |
| Title | A Study of BRBs using Varying Section Steel Truss Restrainers |

| Author | Lu-An Chen, An-Chien Wu, Chun Chen, Keh-Chyuan Tsai |
| Keywords | buckling-restrained brace, truss-confined restrainer, flexural rigidity, shear rigidity, buckling load, finite element analysis |
| Abstract | Buckling-restrained braces (BRBs) can effectively improve the stiffness, strength, ductility, and energy dissipation capacity of building structures. Recently, a novel type of BRB called truss-confined BRB (TC-BRB) has been investigated. The feature of the TC-BRB is attaching an additional truss system outside the central steel casing. The truss system is composed of several steel open-web truss frames thereby providing the overall restraining rigidity, reducing the steel casing section size and infilled mortar. The overall self-weight is reduced as compared to the conventional BRB, especially in the cases of longspan and large load-carrying BRB applications. This study extends and improves the stability assessment methods of the TC-BRB investigated previously. The equivalent flexural rigidity and shear rigidity of varying-section truss confining system are re-examined first. The method of computing the effective shear area of central casing is developed. The results are integrated into the calculations of elastic buckling strength of the restraining system. A simplified computing method is also proposed. Two additional 1/3-scaled specimens each of about 6.3m long and 90tf (853kN) yield strength were designed and tested in the MATS facility in NCREE. Considering tests results of four specimens of similar size and capacity in the previous and this studies, the relationship between the elastic buckling strength of restrainer and the ultimate compressive strength of entire TC-BRB is constructed. The required design parameters are provided for practical applications. In addition, a numerical modeling procedure which can effectively simulate the effects of the BRB compressive over-strength and the residual stresses in the chord members is introduced. Analytical results indicated that the proposed calculations in the restrainer’s elastic buckling strength are reliable and the specimens’ hysteresis behavior can be captured satisfactorily. |

| 關鍵字 | 鋼筋混凝土、剪力牆、殘餘耐震能力、塑鉸 |
| 摘要 | 鋼筋混凝土(RC)剪力牆之高強度及高勁度雖可有效改善結構系統來提昇建築物之耐震能力，但其高勁度也易於地震中較梁柱構材先產生裂損，專業技師在評估受震損含RC 剪力牆建物的殘餘耐震能力與安全性時，常面臨損壞判斷及震損構材模擬等技術上之問題，尤其對於那些僅為輕度到中度損壞之牆體，其可能不需補強但仍需評估其殘餘耐震能力的牆體。因為對受震損RC 牆的殘餘耐震性能於國內外之研究相當稀少，常使得要使用國內側推分析之詳細評估法來評估震損建物殘餘性能時，於震損RC 牆塑鉸設定上之強度、勁度與變形容量的折減方式無量化選擇依據。故本研究主要目的是通過文獻收集與回顧，彙整RC 剪力牆之震損後力學行為，並與美國及日本現有之震後評估指針的參數與方式進行比較探討其合適性，並依營建署之損傷等級，對輕度至中重度震損RC 牆於塑鉸設定上之強度、勁度與變形容量的折減方式提出建議，期能填補部分國內於震損RC 牆殘餘耐震能力評估上所缺之資訊。 |
| Title | Discussion on the Residual Capacity and Plastic Hinge Properties of Earthquake Damaged RC Shear Walls |
|---|---|
| Author | Wen-I Liao, Yu-Ming Zheng, Xuan Ling Chen |
| Keywords | Reinforced concrete, shear wall, residual seismic capacity, plastic hinge |
| Abstract | Due to the high lateral strength and stiffness of the RC shear wall, it can effectively improve the structural system and increase the seismic capacity of the building structure. However, the high stiffness property of RC walls will also easily induce cracking or damage as compared to the beam-column members in the earthquake. The technical problems for judgment of damage status and simulation of damaged components are often difficult to be determined, especially for those RC walls that are only at slightly or moderately damaged status, they may not need retrofitting but their residual seismic capacity should be evaluated. When using the nonlinear pushover analysis procedure to evaluate the residual seismic performance of damaged RC walls. Because researches on the residual seismic performance of damaged RC walls earthquakes are very limited. There is still no quantitative method for the selection of reduction factors on strength, stiffness, and deformation capacity of RC walls with various damaged statuses. Therefore, the main purpose of this paper is to collect and analyze the relative research works of literature on the post-earthquake behavior of RC shear walls. The suggested criteria, parameters, and procedures of the existing post-earthquake assessment guidelines in the U.S. and Japan are compared with those latest publications in the area of the residual capacity of RC walls for discussing their suitability. Finally, a reduction method based on Taiwan seismic evaluation procedure was proposed for modifying the nonlinear hinge properties of damaged RC walls with different damaged states. |

| 摘要 | 地震工程發展日新月異，然而目前許多有效的隔減震技術，如加強結構本身的強度與韌性、於結構底部安裝隔震系統、利用消能元件吸收地震能量等，皆僅針對單一結構進行嵌入式安裝，這對於老舊且急需耐震補強建築繁多的臺灣，可能無法兼顧合理成本與時間效益的考量。近五年全球開始發展以波傳與複合材料角度切入的地震超材料研究，其不直接接觸結構物本體，轉而思考於保護區域外圍建立屏障，使特定頻段的地震波產生衰減或轉向，進而有效保護既有且大範圍的社區。考慮臺灣地震頻繁、老舊大樓及基礎設施眾多，以及缺乏地震超材料的本土性相關研究，本文通訊作者組成跨領域研究團隊，並於2021 年起在科技部補助下開始執行三年期整合型計畫「地震超材料結構的隔減振屏蔽:理論架構、數值模擬及實驗」。本文除回顧國外地震超材料之研究發展外，亦簡介整合型計畫的前期研究與整合現況，並提出未來可能的發展方向與策略，以期提供工程與研究人員關於隔減震的另一思維。 |
| Title | A Review of Seismic Metamaterials for Seismic Protection |

| Keywords | seismic metamaterial, seismic waves, local resonance, periodic structure, wave propagation |
| Abstract | Current seismic-resistant technologies include enhancement of structural strength and ductility, application of isolation systems, and adoption of energy dissipation devises. These approaches target a single building and integrate isolation and damping devices. In the area with significant numbers of aging buildings like Taiwan, retrofitting existing infrastructure with traditional methods may not be a pragmatic solution. Seismic metamaterials have emerged as a state-of-the-art research topic in the last decade. They block or deflect waves by forming a seismic shield outside the area around existing structures without direct contact with the actual buildings. The seismic metamaterials are able to complement the techniques used in current earthquake engineering; however, domestic study on this subject is limited. Therefore, Professor Tungyang Chen assembled an interdisciplinary team to conduct the 3-year integrated project titled “Seismic Metamaterials towards Cloaking Earthquakes: Theoretical Framework, Numerical Modelling and Experimental Verifications”, under the support of the Ministry of Science and Technology, Taiwan since 2021. This review article includes literature review on seismic metamaterials, current progress in Taiwan, and future work. The study introduces the insights of seismic metamaterials for engineers and researchers, and aims to provide alternatives from seismic isolation and energy dissipation. |

| 關鍵字 | 振動台、史都華平台、致動器位移轉換、力量座標轉換、參數識別 |
| 摘要 | 為了解或驗證結構物之耐震性能，將待測物安裝於振動台檯面進行動態測試，為最直接且廣為採納之研究方法。配置於國震中心臺南實驗室之關鍵零組件測試系統(Multi-Axial Seismic Test System，簡稱MAST)係以油壓驅動之六軸向振動台。該系統配置為史都華平台(Stewart platform)式，僅採用6 支致動器即可實現六自由度運動，可降低建置成本以及系統冗餘度。本文將簡介MAST 系統，而後推導MAST 系統致動器伸長量與檯面位移之轉換關係，以及致動器出力與等值檯面作用力之轉換關係。為能有效模擬MAST 系統之動態行為，以便進行實驗規劃，本文亦將提出MAST 系統等效質量及等效摩擦力與阻尼力之識別方法。由實驗數據識別之等效質量顯示，其與MAST 原始設計之理論質量結果相當接近，表示本文提出之等效質量識別方法之可靠性。此外，相關研究通常以庫倫摩擦模型或Bouc-Wen模型描述摩擦力，本文採用Bouc-Wen 模型描述元件相互位移產生之摩擦力，因該模型於速度轉折處為連續且可微分，更易於應用於數值分析與模擬；後經迴歸分析獲取關鍵參數，發現數值模擬結果與MAST 系統量測之實驗數據相近，顯示利用Bouc-Wen 模型模擬MAST 系統內摩擦力之可行性。綜上所述，此研究將有助於了解振動台系統動態特性及探討相關識別技術，並能提供關鍵參數於後續進行數值分析以及後續與結構試體互制之動態模擬之研究。 |
| Title | Kinematics and Identification Study Applied to the Shaking Table by Using the Actuator Measurement: Take MAST for example |
|---|---|

| Keywords | shaking table, Stewart platform, actuator kinematics, force transformation, parametric identification |
| Abstract | “A shaking table test is one of the experimental methods widely adopted to inspect the seismic performance of structures. A multi-axial seismic test system (MAST) equipped in Tainan Laboratory, National Center for Research on Earthquake Engineering (NCREE) is a hydraulic powered six-degree-of-freedom shaking table, which consists of a rigid mass and six actuators. The placement of the actuators follows the design of the Stewart platform. Hence the MAST system can achieve 6-DOF dynamic motion with the least amount of actuators; in other words, reducing the cost and the redundancy of the system. This article introduces the MAST system in the very first paragraph. Then the kinematics study based on the geometric relation between the actuators and the rigid platen will apply to the forward and inverse conversion of the actuator displacement/force and the platen 6-DOF displacement/force. In addition, this study proposed system identification methods to evaluate the equivalent mass and the equivalent damping and friction force of the MAST system, which are critical characteristic parameters for simulating the system’s dynamic responses. As a result, the identified equivalent mass approximates the design value, which shows the high fidelity of the proposed system identification method. Moreover, a Bouc-Wen model, which is wildly adopted on describing the friction force and numerical-friendly, is validated in this study. The parameters for Bouc-Wen model are obtained through the regression analysis by utilizing the experimental data. While the simulated results based on the Bouc-Wen model are consistent with the experimental data, it can be concluded that the equivalent mass and damping force of the MAST system or similar systems can be quickly evaluated through the proposed identification methods in this study. With the help of the proposed method, it’s possible to simulate the table motion of the MAST system or similar shaking table system, and then conduct further study, such as dynamic interaction between the system and the specimens.” |

| Abstract | This article discusses some concerns about the design of partial rigid connection presented in the manuscript entitled “Design of partial rigid joint of precast girder and beam”. In the case where precast beam anchored at the spandrel beam, the negative flexure reinforcement of the precast beam should satisfy not only the development length requirements but also the integrity of load transfer path. |

In the case where precast beam anchored at the spandrel beam, the negative flexure reinforcement of the precast beam should satisfy not only the development length requirements but also the integrity of load transfer path. |

| Abstract | The traditional seismic retrofitting methods often affect the regular operation of the building, and it takes a lot of time during the construction period. So it isn’t easy to carry out reinforcement work in private houses. This research aims to develop seismic retrofitting methods, so we use high-strength fiber resin mortar for existing reinforced concrete structures. It can effectively improve the performance of seismic retrofitting methods. By using the high-strength fiber resin mortar, its expected strength can be achieved within two weeks. Therefore, it takes just a small impact during construction, which does not affect the existing functions of the building. It has high application value for hospitals, commercial buildings, and private residences. In this research, the different kinds of seismic retrofitting methods will be tested at the NCREE Laboratory. There are three kinds of seismic retrofitting methods, such as steel frame bracing, shear wall, stub column. The experimental specimens were tested in horizontally cyclic loading to compare the seismic behavior and the difference of seismic retrofitting methods. It uses popular seismic assessment methods for each test and compares them with the experimental results in this research. |

| Abstract | Global warming has become a serious issue worldwide and it was evident that the greenhouse gases are mainly responsible for global warming. CO2 is considered as the major greenhouse gas. Among all the industries, cement industries contributed 5-7 ℅ CO2 emissions to the environment. Demand for concrete is increasing by 3% per year as concrete is the material used worldwide next to the water. If the engineering materials can be exempted from the use of cement, the purpose of carbon reduction can be achieved. Additionally, expansion joints play an important role in the stability of the bridge deck and also in accommodating thermal, lateral, and rotational moments. Hence, bridge industries demanded a high-strength, rapid setting material to replace the joints quickly and reopen the traffic. Considering all these issues, the early-high-strength repairing geopolymer material by using fly-ash and ground granulated blast-furnace slag (GGBS) are developed in this study. The high calcium inorganic polymer material was prepared by mixing fly-ash (Class-F) and GGBS (S4000) as a bonding agent with a varied ratio, NaOH alkali solution with 10 molarity (SiO2/Na2O=1.28) as an activator and pre-heated river sand as a fine aggregate to enhance the polymerization reaction. The main objectives of the present investigation were to develop a high strength geopolymer material (GPM) to provide 35MPa in 5 hours and examined the properties with regard to the effect of pre-heated fine aggregate, compressive strength (hot air-cured for 1,3 and 5 hours) and bond strength of GPM with ultra-high-performance material (UHPM) as well as high-strength non-shrinkage material (HS-NSM) from the slant shear test. The experiment was also carried out by varying the fly-ash to GGBS ratio and water to NaOH ratio. A total of 36 GPM specimens with an aspect ratio of 1 were tested. Results revealed that the hot mix procedure of GPM with the fly-ash to GGBS and water to NaOH ratio 1:3 and 10%, respectively produced greater compressive strength (52.67 MPa/5 hours) and fly-ash to GGBS and water to NaOH ratio 1:2 and 10%, respectively indicated excellent bond strength of 34.93 MPa. Results of the present investigation revealed that by increasing the amount of GGBS, the initial and final setting time and the flow rate of GPM have decreased. It was suggested that by applying GPM on the actual construction site, strength and workability should be considered simultaneously. |

| Keywords | Recycled carbon fiber, microwave-assisted pyrolysis, carbon fiber concrete |
| Abstract | Fiber reinforced concrete can improve the flexural strength and toughness of concrete, and also can reduce the shrinkage and cracking of concrete. In this study, microwave-assisted pyrolysis was used to recycle carbon fibers from the waste carbon fiber polymer composites to make recycled carbon fiber- reinforced concrete. The lengths of the recycled carbon fibers were 5-10 mm, 15-20 mm, and 30-50 mm, respectively, and the fiber to cement weight rations were 0.5%, 1.0%, and 1.5%, respectively. The water-cement ratio was 0.6, and the aggregate fineness modulus (F.M.) was 6.78. The mechanical performances of recycled carbon fiber-reinforced concrete (RCFRC) were investigated by using compression, bending, splitting and impact tests. The test results show that when the fiber to cement weight ratio is 1.5%, the mechanical performance of the recycled carbon fiber- reinforced concrete is the best compared to other fiber to cement weight ratios. Compare to the benchmark specimen, for 1.5% fiber to cement ratio and fiber length from short to long, the compressive strengths of the RCFRC increase 48.71%, 56.15% and 48.88% respectively; the flexural strengths of RCFRC increase 55.76%, 43.63% and 27.31%; the splitting strengths of RCFRC increase 28.96%, 45.70% and 47.58% respectively. The impact test results show that with 1.0% fiber to cement ratio and an impact energy of 50 joules, the impact times of RCFRC with a fiber length of 30-50 mm increased by 3,615% compared to benchmark specimen. The above results show RCFRC can effectively improve the mechanical properties of concrete. |

| Abstract | In recent years, 3D printing of structural components or elements for construction has been a popular construction automation technology. 3D printing technology has the advantages of fast construction, saving construction materials and stable quality, and the diversity of printing spraying materials is the key to its development. In this study, three industrial by-products (fly ash, ultra-fine fly ash and ground-granulated blast-furnace slag) were mixed to form a ternary cementless blended material without the addition of alkaline activators. The test results were compiled through viscosity tests, setting time tests, syringe injection tests and flowability tests. The results revealed that a viscoelastic solid paste with a viscosity of over 6000 cP could be used as a spraying material for liquid deposition modeling 3D printers. The results confirmed that a ternary cementless blended material made from 10% slag, 40% ultra-fine fly ash and 50% fly ash, at a water to binder ratio of 0.25, could be used as a spraying material for 3D printing and that the spraying flow rate of the printer should be set at 40% to achieve the best aesthetic integrity of the sprayed specimens. The compressive strength tests were conducted to verify that the 3D printed specimens have higher compressive strength and casting quality than the conventional molded specimens. The cementless blended material developed in this study is suitable for use as a 3D printing spraying material and is in line with the promotion of high-value industrial by-product technology. |
| Title | High-Fidelity Nonlinear Cyclic Response Simulations of Squat RC Shear Walls |

| Keywords | Constitutive model, anisotropy, shear-slip and re-contact, mesh-sensitivity, non-proportional loading, concrete, finite element |
| Abstract | As stipulated by most of the prevailing structural design standards, nonlinear response analysis with high-fidelity numerical models would be inevitable for designing unconventional reinforced concrete structures under extreme seismic loading. The core of nonlinear numerical models is the constitutive modelling of materials, particularly for concrete materials. Nevertheless, many of the existing concrete constitutive models could not resolve some critical issues that involve crack-induced anisotropy, change of stress transfer mechanisms under non-proportional loading, shear-slip and re-contact behaviour, mesh-size sensitivity, and balance between computational efficiency and modelling the detailed responses. To this end, this paper presents a robust and experimentally validated constitutive model that was developed recently (Yuen et al., 2022) for high-fidelity nonlinear response analysis of reinforced concrete elements. The key features include (1) the total-strain based formulation with loading-history dependent internal variables, (2) cyclic normal and tangential stress-strain responses prescribed on crack planes, (3) fixed 3D crack plane coordinate that is uniquely determined by a novel crack plane searching algorithm, (4) multi-axial strain interaction modelled by the equivalent uniaxial-strains transformation method, (5) shear-slip and re-contact of the crack planes modelled by the modified shear retention model, and (6) mesh-size sensitivity mitigation through the model parameter regularisation. The proposed model was already implemented into ABAQUS through the user-subroutine and successfully applied to simulate reserved-cyclic loading tests on shear panels and a full-scale shear-controlled column (Yuen et al., 2022). This paper presents a further validation study of the proposed model on a high-strength squat RC wall. The high-fidelity model can again well capture the damage evolutions and complete load-deflection hysteresis response of the tested wall. Hence, with the demonstrated performances, the proposed model could be a competent candidate for the high-fidelity nonlinear analysis of next generations of concrete structures that feature unconventional design. |
| Title | AS3600:2018 THE AUSTRALIAN CONCRETE STANDARD AND IMPLICATIONS FOR REINFORCED CONCRETE DESIGN IN TAIWAN |
|---|---|
| Author | Sturm, A.B. |
| Keywords | |
| Abstract | Despite being a small country Australia has long maintained independent reinforced concrete design standards with significant differences to the US and European standards which most people outside of Australia would be familiar. This is in part due to the long history of high-level research into reinforced concrete within Australia. Therefore, in this paper I will review the latest edition of the Australian design standards and contrast this with ACI 318-19. From this I will draw implications for reinforced concrete design in Taiwan. Unique aspects of this standard include the approach to time effects, shear as well as fibre reinforced concrete. |
