Although concrete is considered as fire proof materials, high strength concrete shows severe material and structural damages when exposed to fire. To understand such damages in high strength concrete structures, the effects of various design parameters and fire condition on the thermal behaviors of high strength concrete structures are investigated in this study. In order to achieve this goal, fire tests are performed on high strength concrete columns with different fire conditions and design parameters including cross sectional area, cover thickness, and reinforcement alignment. To investigate thermal behaviors, temperature distributions and amount of spalling are measured. In overall, the columns show rapidly increasing inner temperatures between 30~60 mins of the fire tests due to spalling. In detail, the higher temperature distributions are observed from the columns with the larger cross section and less cover thickness. Moreover, among the columns with same reinforcing ratio, larger number of reinforcements with the smaller diameter causes the higher temperature distribution. The findings from the experimental study allow not only understanding of thermal behaviors of high strength concrete columns under fire, but also guidance in revising fire safety design.

According to the available study and experimental data about the long term behavior of CFT(Concrete Filled Tube) columns, the creep and of concrete in CFT columns are smaller than those of RC columns because of the confinement effect of outer steel columns. In this study, the uncertainties associated with assumed values for concrete properties such as strength, creep coefficients, and service load have been considered and analyzed for the prediction of time-dependent column shortening of CFT column. The CFT column shortening analysis using Monte Carlo method is proposed and an of a 37 story tall building with CFT columns is studied for illustration. According to the results obtained by the probability analysis with multi parameters, the effect of variation coefficient for 3 parameters is investigated considering confidence interval.

In locations where the cost of concrete is relatively high or in situations where the weight of concrete members has to be kept to a minimum, it may be more economical to use hollow reinforced concrete vertic al members. Hollow reinforced concrete colun-ms with a low axial load, a moderate longitudinal steel percentage and a reasonably thick wall were found to perform in a ductile manner at the flexural strength, similar to solid columns. Hollow reinforced concrete columns with a high axial load, a high longitudinal steel percentage, and a thin wall were found, however, to behave in a brittle manner at the flexural strength, since the neutral axis is forced to occur away from the inside face of the tube towards the section centroid and, as a result, crushing of concrete occurs near the unconfined inside face of the section. If, however, a steel tube is placed near the inside face of a circular hollow column, the column can be expected not to fail in a brittle manner through the disintegration of the concrete in the compression zone. A design recommendation and example through the moment-curvature analysis program for curvature ductility are herein presented. A theoretical moment-curvature analysis for reinforced concrete columns, indicating the available flexural strength and ductility, can be conducted, providing that the stress-strain relation for the concrete and steel are known. In this paper, a unified stress-stain model for confined concrete by Mander is developed foi members with circular sections.

An experimental study was performed to investigate the cyclic behavior of the reinforced concrete frame with infilled steel plate. For this purpose, three-story compositewalls using infilled steel plates (RCSPW) were tested. The parameters for this test were the reinforcement ratio of the column and opening in the infilled steel plate. A reinforced concrete infilled wall (RCIW) and a reinforced concrete frame (RCF) were also tested for comparison. The deformation capacity of the RCSPW specimen was significantly greater than that of the RCIW specimen, although the two specimens exhibited the same load-carrying capacity. Like the steel plate walls with the steel boundary frame, RCSPW specimens showed excellent strength, deformation capacity, and energy dissipation capacity. Furthermore, by using infilled steel plates, shear cracking and failure of the column-beam joint were prevented. By using a strip model, the stiffness and strength of the RCSPW specimens were predicted. The results were compared with the test results.

Flat plate system has structural weakness such as punching shear. Punching shear resistance can be increase by using a lager column section and effective depth, higer concrete compressive strength, and more flexural reinforcement ratio. But using a shear reinforcement is most economical, enable, workable solution in flat plate. The slab with thickness smaller than 250mm can not perform effectively due to insufficient development length of shear reinforcement in the slab. In case of proposed reinforcements, since the shear reinforcements were installed between the top bar and the bottom bar, shear elements generated slip failure before they reached yield. strength. effect of anchorage strength were effective anchorage length, concrete strength, diameter of shear element and anchorage detail. considering effect of slab thickness and concrete strength, formula of K factor propose in thin flat plate slab. by considering effect of anchorage length and concrete strength, strength of shear reinforcement will be computed correctly in thin flat plate slab.

In this study, axial and lateral loading experiments for both circular and square plain concrete columns confined with carbon fiber tube manufactured by carbon filament winding technique were performed. Based on the test results, reliability analyses to estimate strength reduction factors were carried out by utilizing Monte Carlo technique. CASE I was for plain concrete columns confined with the carbon tubes, CASE II was for reinforced concrete columns confined with the carbon tubes. As results, the strength reduction factors, ${\phi}$, were estimated as 0.7 for CASE I and 0.85 for CASE II respectively.

The seismic design regulations have not been applied to the low-rised buildings which are less than 6 stories in Korea. For these buildings which are designed only for gravity loads, theoretical formulas which can estimate the seismic strength of building are derived. The column hinge sway and beam hinge sway mechanism are assumed for the formulars. For the comparisons with the formulas, the results of push-over analyses of 3 and 4 storied buildings are used. It can be shown that the estimating formulas correspond well with the push-over analyses. And the seismic strength of building has a little relations with the number of bay and becomes larger as the building becomes lower. Also, as the ratio and strength of reinforcing steel increase, the seismic strength of building is increased.

Reinforced concrete buildings damaged by earthquake which can be reused can ensure the stability in its structure by repair-restrengthening, but when such a repair-restrengthening is conducted inappropriately or its structural strength is greatly reduced by earthquake again, it should have repair-restrengthening. This study selects beam-column joints which are vulnerable to earthquake as the object of experiment, performs repair-restrengthening after applying the first and the second dynamic loading to the objects of experiment, examines the capacity of restrengthening according to structural characteristics and loading velocity and verifys the validity of repair-restrengthening.

최근 국내외에서 친환경건축물에 관한 관심이 매우 높아짐으로 인해 콘크리트의 물량을 절감하여 이산화탄소량을 줄이는 중공슬래브는 다양한 형태로 세계적으로 개발이 되고 있는 추세이다. 특히 이방향 중공슬래브는 환경적인 측면에서 이방향 중공슬래브는 중공부 생성에 재생플라스틱을 활용하여 폐자원을 재사용하고, 콘크리트와 철근의 사용량 절감에 따른 화석에너지 및 이산화탄소 발생량을 감소한다는 장점이 있다. 또한 시스템 측면에서 이방향 중공슬래브는 기존의 철근콘크리트 플랫플레이트 바닥구조 시스템의 자중을 절감하여 구조체를 경량화 시키고, 이에 따라 장스팬 구현이 가능하며, 단열효과가 뛰어나다. 이와 같이 이방향 중공슬래브는 장점이 많지만 플랫플레이트 슬래브의 취약점인 뚫림전단 파괴에 주의해야 한다. 이에 본 연구에서는 선행으로 실시된 이방향 중공슬래브-기둥 접합부 뚫림전단 성능평가 실험을 바탕으로 하여 경량체가 이방향 중공슬래브-기둥 접합부 뚫림전단 성능에 미치는 영향을 살펴보기 위해 범용 유한요소해석 프로그램인 ABAQUS를 사용하여 경량체량 및 위치를 주요변수로 한 해석적인 변화를 검토하였다. 본 연구를 통해 경량체가 삽입된 이방향 중공슬래브의 뚫림전단 성능에 대해, 해석결과 경량체 량과 위치에 따라 최대 뚫림전단강도는 기준 실험체에 비해 74.3%, 73%의 강도저하를 나타내는 것으로 알 수 있었다. 이는 실험상의 강도저하 값인 84.1%, 56.4%와 다소 차이가 있으며, 해석에서 중공부 주위의 응력집중 현상이 제대로 반영되지 않은 것으로 판단된다. 또한 이방향 슬래브에 경량체를 삽입 할 경우 경량체가 시작하는 부분에서 응력이 급격히 감소하는 현상이 나타났으며, 이러한 급격한 응력감소는 기둥 주위 위험단면의 변화를 가져오는 것으로 추정된다. 즉, 위험단면의 변화는 기둥으로부터 경량체 사이의 거리에 따라 달라지며, 위험단면 내의 콘크리트 단면 손실은 뚫림전단 강도를 감소시킨다. 본 연구에서는 이방향 중공슬래브의 뚫림전단강도를 산정할 수 있는 근사식을 제안하였으며, 보다 정확한 이방향 중공슬래브의 뚫림전단강도의 산정식을 위해서는 위험단면의 변화와 콘크리트 단면손실로 인한 전단강도 저하의 관계에 대한 추가적인 연구가 필요하다.
