| Abstract |
In Korea, the demand for horizontal extension remodeling of aging apartment buildings is increasing. To ensure structural integrity and
improve constructability at the connection between new and existing slabs, this study proposes a steel plate shear jacket system. This method
reduces reliance on post-installed rebars and eliminates the need for surface roughening. Five specimens were tested under five-point vertical
loading, with variables including the number of post-installed rebars, jacket shape (Z- or L-type), plate thickness, and fabrication method
(bending or welding). Results showed that shear jacket specimens had higher load capacity (up to 1.14 times) and significantly improved
ductility compared to the control. The jackets delayed interface slip and shifted failure modes from brittle shear to ductile flexural behavior.
Thicker plates and orthogonal rebars enhanced performance. Plastic analysis reflecting positive moment resistance showed good agreement with
test results (77?93%), whereas elastic analysis underestimated strength. Although the test setup aimed to induce pure shear, flexural action
dominated. Further research is needed to isolate shear behavior and better quantify the strengthening effect. Overall, the proposed detail is
effective for enhancing structural performance and constructability in slab extension remodeling. |
