A Study to Improve Bonding Strength with Notch in Strengthening Plate

노치를 이용한 보강재의 부착력 증가 방안에 관한 연구

Recently, many strengthening methods are developed and used to rehabilitate existing structure. One of the popualr methods is the strengthening with steel plate. But steel plate have a defect that is a debondig at the end of the steel plate due to stress concentration. The objective of this paper is an experimental study for improving bonding properties of a strengthening plate. The two normally reinforced beams and ten strengthened beams steel plate, which has various notches were tested. The test results show that the notches of strengthening plate improve post-yield behavior significantly compared. It is proved that the notch in a strengthening plate increase of ulimate strength after the yield strength 9% more than ordinary strengthening method.
