Abstract

An experimental research was performed using fibers for the purpose of retrofitting existing reinforced concrete circular columns. Glass fiber (GF) and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) were used as well as combined GF+PET (HF). PET has high tensile strength (over 600 MPa) and high ductility (about 15%), but has very low elastic modulus (about 1/6 of GF). A total of four columns was tested against laterally applied reverse cyclic load: control column, GF-, PET-, and HF-strengthened columns. All columns retrofitted using fibers demonstrated improved moment capacity and ductility. Moment capacity of GF-, PET-, and HF-strengthened columns was 120%, 107%, and 120% of the control column, respectively. Drift ratio of all retrofitted columns also increased by 63 ~ 83% over the control column. The final failure mode of the control column was main bar buckling. The final failure mode of the GF- and HF-strengthened columns was GF rupture while that of the PET-strengthened column was main bar rupture in tension. No damage was observed for PET at the ultimate stage due to excellent strain capacity intrinsic to PET. Current test results indicate that PET can be effectively used for seismic retrofit of RC columns. It is noted that the durability characteristics of PET needs to be investigated in the future.

휨강도 및 연성이 부족한 철근콘크리트 원형 기둥의 섬유를 사용한 내진보강에 대하여 실험적 연구를 수행하였다. 일정한 축력을 받는 4개 기둥의 횡 방향 유사동적 실험에서 변수는 GF, PET 및 PET+GF 혼합 보강(HF) 등 섬유의 종류이었다. 이 연구에 적용한 PET는 인장강도(600 MPa 이상)가 우수하고 고연성(약 15%)이나, 탄성계수가 GF의 1/6 수준으로 매우 낮다. 기둥 실험 결과, 모든 보강 기둥은 컨트롤 기둥보다 7~20% 증가한 휨강도를 보였고, 연성은 1.6~1.8배로 증가하였다. 무보강 기둥은 주근 좌굴, GF 및 HF 보강 기둥의 최종 파괴모드는 GF 파단이었으나, 고연성 PET는 극한단계에서도 파단이 발생하지 않았다. PET는 휨강도 및 연성 증진 측면에서 RC 부재의 보강용으로 적합하다고 사료되나, 탄성계수가 낮으므로 많은 양을 사용하여야 하는 단점이 있으므로 이 연구에서 PET는 GF에 비해 인장 강성비 20% 수준으로 사용하였다. 한편 PET의 내구성에 대하여는 현재 연구가 진행 중에 있다.
