Stone cultural heritages are repaired by the use of metal stiffeners. The problem is that this type of repair has been based on the experience of workers without specific guidelines and has caused various problems. This is to suggest the structural reinforcement and behavioral characteristics of metal rods to minimize the secondary damage of materials and have the specimens tested and verified to establish the guidelines on how to insert metal stiffeners. When only epoxy resin is applied to the cut surface, only 70% of the properties of the parent material are regenerated and it is required to structurally reinforce the metal stiffener for the remaining 30%. The metal rod is under the structural behavior after the brittle failure of stone material and the structural behavior does not occur when the metal stiffener is below 0.251%. When it accounts for over 0.5%, it achieves structural reinforcement, but causes secondary damage of parent materials. The appropriate ratio of metal stiffener for the stone material with the strength of $1,500kgf/cm^2$, therefore, should be between 0.283% and 0.377% of the cross section of attached surface to achieve reversible fracture and ductility behavior. In addition, it is more effective to position the stiffeners at close intervals to achieve the peak stress of metal rod against bending load and inserting the stiffener into the upper secions is not structurally supportive, but would rather cause damage of the parent material. Thus, most stiffeners should be inserted into the lower part and some into the central part to work as a stable tensile material under the load stress. The dispersion effect of metal rods was influenced by the area of reinforcing rods and unrelated to their diameter. However, it ensures stability under the load stress to increase the number of stiffeners considering the cross section adhered when working on large-scale structures. The development length is engineered based upon the diameter of stiffener using the following formula: $l_d=\frac{a_tf_y}{u{\Sigma}_0}$. Also, helically-threaded reinforcing rods should be used to perform the behaviors as a structural material.

Ship structures are basically an assembly of plate elements and the load-carrying capacity or the ultimate strength is one of the most important criteria for safety assessment and economic design. Also, Structural elements making up ship plated structures do not work separately, resulting in high degree of redundancy and complexity, in contrast to those of steel framed structures. To enable the behavior of such structures to be analyzed, simplifications or idealizations must essentially be made considering the accuracy needed and the degree of complexity of the analysis to be used. On this study, to investigate effect of modeling range, the finite element method are used and their results are compared varying the analysis ranges. The model has been selected from bottom panels of large merchant ship structures. For FEA, three types of structural modeling are adopted in terms of the extent of the analysis. The purpose of the present study is to numerically calculate the characteristics of ultimate strength behavior according to the analysis ranges of stiffened panels subject to uniaxial compressive loads.

This paper presents the durability characteristics of commercially available CFRP rebars under various environmental conditions. Two types of GFRP rebars were tested by using an accelerated aging method. A total of 264 rebar specimens were conditioned up to 132 days in the moisture, chloride. alkaline, and freeze-thaw environmental conditions. The durability characteristics of conditioned rebars were obtained by comparing the tensile strength, horizontal shear strength, and elastic modulus between the unconditioned and conditioned GFRP rebars. The test results indicated that the mechanical properties of GFRP were significantly reduced after conditioning. Long-term degradation of GFRP rebars was also estimated using the results of a short-term durability test.

In these days, carbon fiber-reinforced polymers (CFRP) have been widely used for retrofitting and/or strengthening structural elements. However, there are not enough test data to predict the long-term performance of the retrofitted structures exposed to freeze-thawing cycles. This paper presents the results of experimental program undertaken to investigate the effects of freeze-thawing cycling (from-18 to $4^{\circ}C) on the behavior and failure characteristics of reinforced concrete (RC) beams strengthened in shear with CFRP sheet and plate using acoustic emission (AE) technique.

Although the flat plate system is an efficient structural type due to the simplicity of its construction, the low story height, and the various plan design, the slab-column connections are vulnerable to punching shear failure from gravity load and eccentric shear failure from lateral load. To prevent the structure collapse, various construction methods of slab-column connection reinforcement are developed but none of these satisfies all of structural performance, economics, and constructability. This paper presents the reinforcement of slab-column connection with lattice bars. The structural performance is confirmed with the interior slab-column connection tests subjected to cyclic loading, and the economic feasibility is demonstrated from the structural design under the same condition with lattice bars, stud rails, and stirrups.

강섬유 보강 콘크리트는 콘크리트 내에 강섬유를 임의로 투입함으로써 취성의 콘크리트 물성을 연성적으로 향상시킴과 동시에 압축, 인장, 휨 강도를 증가시킨 새로운 구조 신소재라고 할 수 있다. 과거 70년대가 SFRC의 재료적 물성에 대한 실험적 시기였던 반면 현재는 현장에 SFRC를 시공하는 응용단계라 할 수 있다. SFRC의 우수성은 선진 외국의 경우 일반적으로 기업, 정부, 계약관계자 등에게 잘 인식되어 있어 이미 많은 시공현장에서 응용되고 있다. 이로 인하여 외국(미국, 일본, 유럽 등)의 경우 구조적으로 안정되고 경제적인 구조물을 실현하고 있으나 국내의 경우는 안타깝게도 SFRC에 대한 인식이 아직 일반화되어 있지 않으며 시공현장도 매우 드문 실정이다. SFRC에대한 연구는 국.내외 학회에서 꾸준히 연구, 개발하고 있으며 이들 연구결과가 경제적이고 우수한 구조물을 실현하는데 기여할 수 있기를 기대한다.

Recently, Seismic performance of the building built in the past is required to review, because the code for seismic design have been reinforced. In 2009, if the revised latest criteria of seismic design is applied, the majority the steel structure of the low-rise concentrically braced system is short of the seismic performance. Also, when the steel braces are subject to compressive load, which causes unstable behavior of the structure. In order to verify the compressive behavior of the reinforced braces, structural performance test was conducted with variables of slenderness ratio and the amount of reinforcement. Therefore, this study suggests restraining the bending buckling of slender H-shaped braces to resist compressive force. In order to verify the compressive behavior of the reinforced braces, structural performance test was conducted with variables of slenderness ratio and the amount of reinforcement.

우리 나라의 양수발전소는 지금까지 단일공동을 굴착하였다. 그러나 양양 양수발전소는 두 개의 대공동 즉, 발전소와 주 변전소로 구성된다. 이 경우 공동 구조물의 안정성, 특히 두 공동사이에 형성되는 암주를 영구적으로 안전하게 유지 할 수 있도록 보장되어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 개별요소법을 이용하여 두 공동과 암주의 구조적 안정성을 평가하였으며, 구성모델로 Barton-Bandis의 절리모델을 이용하였다. 현지 암반의 초기응력, 자연절리면의 거칠기계수 불연속면의 공간적 분포 특성과 같은 중요한 요인들은 현지 조사를 통하여 구하였다. 이외에 두 가지 경우 즉, 무보강과 보강의 경우 지보시스템의 최적화를 분석하였으며, 또한 보강효과를 검토하였다. 연구결과 보강의 경우 수평변위와 절리의 전단변위가 감소되었으며 암주내 이완영역 역시 감소됨을 확인하였다. 두 공동사이에 있는 약 36m 두께의 암주에 적절한 보강조치를 취하여 안정성을 확보할 수 있었다.

Steel plate bonding method with epoxy is common applied to repair and strengthen RC structures, but Steel is apt to corrode quickly, hard to manufacture and heavy. To overcome these defects, it is carried out research on strengthening RC structures with FRP(Fibre Reinforced Polyrner/Plastic) FRP is generally used in the shape of Plate or Sheet, but it has weak point such as premature failure, difficult work. To cope with these problem, NSMR(Near Surface Mounted Reinforcement) which uses CFRP in the shape of Rod is proposed and carried out active research on strengthening effect of variables such as quantity, anchorage length and space of CFRP-Rod. Strengthening with CFRP-Rod is carried out under loading to some degree in fact, and so the amount of pre-loading is selected as variable in this research. The amount of pre-loading is chosen in proportion to nominal strength of non-strengthened specimen with CFRP-Rod.

일반적으로 토목 공사에서 구조의 보강 용도로 주로 사용되는 지오그리드(geogrids)는 우수한 인장 탄성계수와 인장강력을 지니고 있어서 하중이 집중적으로 작용하는 토목 구조물에서 보강기능을 원활히 수행하는 보강재료 이지만, 비교적 큰 격자상 외관 구조를 가지므로 지오그리드를 관통하는 각종 물질, 특히 함유 수분과 세립질 토양의 이동이나 유실 등을 효과적으로 제어하지 못한다는 단점도 있어 사용상의 제약이 있다. (중략)
