This study presents post-installed anchors whose heads and extension sleeves are improved. The optimal lengths of the extension sleeves and headers were analytically determined by simulations. As a result of analysis using Finite element method (FEM), 9.0mm and 3.0mm were determined as the optimal lengths of sleeves and headers respectively. In pull-out tests using the improved post-installed anchors, all specimens satisfied the coefficient of variation of 15%. Comparing the pull-out strengths of existing anchors and the improved anchors, it was increased by 1.25 times for anchors embedded with a depth of 50mm, and 1.54 times for 70mm. In the cases of high-strength concrete, the strengths were increased by 1.28 and 1.55 times for 50mm and 70mm respectively. Moreover, as a result of shear tests, the improved anchors perform the greater strength of 1.38 times than the existing anchors.

The primary objective of this research is a study on the pullout bond characteristics of untensioned prestressing strand in concrete. The bond characteristics of untensioned prestressing strand in concrete differs from that of deformed reinforcing bar. In order to use and design untensioned prestressing strand as deformed reinforcing bar, a study for bond characteristics of the untensioned prestressing strand was progressed. Major test variables are embedment length ($10d_b{\sim}60d_b$), concrete cover (45mm, 70mm, 100m) and diameter of strands. (12.7mm : SWPC7, 9.3mm : SWPC7A) As a results, these showed that average bond stress was decreased as a growing the embedment length, and then showed that the bond performance of untensioned prestressing strand was improved if embedment length was above 60$60d_b$.

This study proposed V-shaped tie bar method as an alternative of internal cross-tie for reinforced concrete columns in order to enhance the constructability and confinement effectiveness of the lateral tie bars. A total of 35 pull-out specimens were prepared with the parameters of concrete compressive strength and bending angle and embedment length of the V-shaped bar to examine the bond stress-slip relationship of the V-shaped tie bar. The bond strength of the V-shaped tie bars with the bending angle not exceeding $60^{\circ}$ was higher than the predictions obtained from the equations of CEB-FIP provision. Considering the constructability and bond behavior of the V-shpaed tie bar, the bending angle and embedment length of such bar can be optimally recommended as $45^{\circ}$ and 6db, respectively, where db is the diameter of the tie bar.

The objective of this study offer the equation of the development length for GFRP reinforcement. Pullout test carried out to propose the development length for GFRP reinforcement. Test variables included embedment length (L=15, 30 and 45d$_b$ ), pure cover thickness(C=0.5, 1.0, 1.5, and 2.0d$_b$ ), diameter of reforcement(D10, D13 and D16), and three types, (domestic : K2KR, K3KR, foreign : AsUS) of GFRP reinforcement. The method of test were introduced pure pullout and tests lasted until the GFRP reinforcements were reached final failure. Based on the results through the pullout test, the bond characteristics and average bond stress for GFRP reinforcement were investigated. The equation of development length was proposed based on the regression analysis selected specimens having splitting failure. The equation gained from this study compared with the design equation provided by ACI committee 440.1R-06. The results through this study are capable of the flexural member design with GFRP reinforcement having lab spliced.

The objective of the present study is to propose a reliable shape of supplementary V-ties in the section jacketing approach for seismic strengthening of reinforced concrete columns. A total of 24 pull-out specimens were prepared. The test parameters selected with regard to bond strength of V-ties were the shape of V-ties, embedment length of V-tie legs, and compressive strength of concrete. The measured bond strength of V-ties with different shapes were compared with that of the conventional V-ties and predictions using CEB-FIP equation. Ultimately, V-ties with pressed end-details at their legs could be recommended for the supplementary lateral reinforcement of strengthening columns with jacketing thickness less than the embedment length [= max (75mm, $6d_b$)] of conventional V-ties, where $d_b$ is the diameter of the reinforcing bar used for V-ties.

For reinforced concrete members, bond strength is one of the important factors between the two materials: the concrete and the reinforcing element. The bond strength of Aramid Fiber Reinforced Polymer (AFRP) rebar was tested using the pull-out method. Presented were comparison results of the bond strength between AFRP rebar and deformed steel bars from the test. Embedded lengths and diameters of the rebar were taken into account as parameters. The bond stress-slip responses and failure modes of AFRP rebar were evaluated. It was found that the bond stress-slip responses of AFRP rebar were similar to those of deformed steel bars. As the diameter of rebar increased, the pull-out load increased. In addition, it was shown that the bond strength of an AFRP rebar was approximately 54% compared with that of a deformed steel bar.

This tests examined bond stress-slip relationship of V-ties embedded into concrete as a supplementary lateral reinforcement proposed for ductility of concrete flexural members. The different leg shapes of V-ties were prepared as a test parameter. The V-tie with pressed end-legs exhibited 28% higher bond strength than the conventional V-ties, whereas bond stress-slip curves were insignificantly affected by the embedment length of V-ties.

The objective of this study was to propose a development length equation for GFRP bars. A total of 104 modified pullout tests were completed while the test variables were embedment length (15, 30, $45d_b$), net cover thickness ($0.5{\sim}2.0d_b$), top-cast bar effect, different GFRP bar types (K2KR, K3KR and AsUS), and bar diameters (10, 13, 16 mm). Average bond stresses were determined based on modified pullout test results. Two variable linear regression analysis was performed of the average bond stresses. Utilizing 5% fractile concept, a conservative development length design equation was derived. The design equation derived in this study was compared to the ACI 440 committee equation. The cross-comparison revealed that the current equation resulted in shorter development lengths than those determined by the ACI 440 equation when the net cover thickness was large (greater than $1.0d_b$). On the other hand, when the net cover thickness was small (equal to or less than $1.0d_b$), the development lengths required by the current equation were larger than those by the ACI equation. The bond stresses were significantly influenced by the cover thicknesses. The current equation results in development lengths that are more economical when the cover thickness is large, and more conservative lengths when the cover thickness is small than the ACI 440 committee equation.

For reinforced concrete members, the bond strength is one of the important factors between two materials: concrete and reinforcing element. This study concerns the bond strength of deformed bars in artificial lightweight aggregate concrete by pull-out test. 144 cubic specimens were manufactured for the test. concrete compressive strength, size of deformed bar and embedment lengths were considered as variables in this study. Normal concrete with W/C ratio 50% specimens were tested for the comparison. Test results included the bond stress-slip responses and modes of failure. Bond strength increased with an increase of compressive strength of concrete according to W/C ratio. The equation of bond stress of polymer-modified lightweight aggregate concrete were proposed by regression analysis based on the result.

CFRP(Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic) can maintain the same strength even if the diameter is reduced by about one - third, and the weight is about one - twentieth of that of the deformed reinforcing bars that have been used in the construction industry. In particular, it is resistant to corrosion, which is the weakest part of reinf orcing bars, and there is no concern that it will deteriorate over time, It is light and durable, so transportation costs are low and it is convenient for high-rise buildings. This paper experimentally clarifies the adhesive properties of CFRP and clarifies its behavior. That is, bond strength test was conducted with the directness of CFRP and the strength of concrete as experimental variables, and the bond mechanism was clarified experimentally. Furthermore, based on the experimental results, we constructed the bond stress-slip-strain relationship of CFRP compared to the existing deformed reinforcing bars.
