Field Survey on the Construction Errors for the Members of Reinforced Concrete Structures

Information on the distribution characteristics of construction errors is very important to determine the member factors, which are to be introduced in a new Korean design code for reinforced concrete structures. The new design code, which is under development for reinforced concrete structures, is based on the performance design concept. The construction errors of reinforced concrete members are mainly caused by the firmness and dimensional accuracy of forms, the arranging condition of reinforcing bars, the pouring and compaction methods of concrete, the skills of field workers, and the experience of supervisors. To find out the construction errors of reinforced concrete structures already built in Korea, a field survey for cover thickness, effective depth of reinforcement, the thickness of slabs and walls, and the dimension of beams and columns has been performed. Based on the survey, which is the first time in Korea, the analysis results are presented. The measuring methods for the construction errors, which have been established through the laboratory tests, are also presented. In addition, the measured construction errors from the survey are compared with the allowable tolerances in the current domestic and foreign specifications.

현장조사를 통한 철근콘크리트 구조 부재의 시공오차에 관한 연구

본 연구에서는 현장타설 철근콘크리트 구조체에 대한 국내외 허용오차 관련기준을 검토하여, 현행 국내 허용오차 기준의 수준을 검토함과 동시에 합리적인 시공오차 측정방법과 측정기기를 제시하였다. 또한 국내 공동주택을 대상으로 철근콘크리트 구조 부재의 시공오차를 조사하여 현재 국내 시공오차 허용범위 만족도를 검토하고, 구조체의 저항능력 평가 시, 부재크기 오차의 불확실성을 고려한 합리적인 안전성 평가를 위한 자료를 제공한다.
