본 연구에서는 비비례 감쇠시스템을 효율적으로 해석할 수 있도록 모드 가속도법(mode acceleration method)과 모드 절삭 보강법(modal truncation augmentation method)을 확장하고 그 사용성을 검증하였다,. 비례 감쇠시스템의 동응답해서에 널리 사용되는 모드 가속도법과 모드 절삭보강법은 누락된 고차모드의 영향을 보정하여 모드 중첩법의 결과를 개선하는 방법이다. 기존의 방법들로 비비례 감쇠시스템을 해석하는 경우 비비례 감쇠특성을 무시하지 않으며 정확하고 효율적으로 해석할 수 있도록 모드 가속도법과 모드 절삭보강법을 확장하였다. 비례 감쇠시스템에서는 모드 가속도법보다 모드 절삭보강법이 더 효율적인 반면에 비비례 감쇠시스템에서는 대부분의 경우에 있어서 확장된 두 방법의 효율성이 동일하다. 그러나 수치적 안정성은 확장된 모드 가속도법이 모드절삭 보강법보다 우수하다. 이와 같은 확장된 모드 가속도법과 모드 절삭보강법의 사용성 검？을 위해서 이론적 방법과 수치예제를 수행하였다.

This study investigates the lateral resistance of micro-pile system when surcharge load is acting on the back of retaining wall. Both laboratory experiments and numerical analysis were performed. The experimental retaining wall model was developed on the laboratory-sized foundation. While surcharge load was acting, the interval and length varied as experimental variables. From the investigation it is known that the micro-pile system can effectively control the lateral displacement which is developed on the precast retaining wall. The effectiveness became increased as the pile interval reduced and the length of pile increased. The greatest reinforcing efficiency was shown when the pile length was 0.5H and the interval was 7D.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the critical strengthening ratio of concrete railroad bridge strengthened with NSM using CFRP plate. The railroad bridge is usually under vibration and impact in service state. Therefore, it is important that the effective strengthening performance must be exhibited under the service loading is acted. To widely apply the NSM method for the concrete railroad bridge in field, it needs that reasonable strengthening parameter such as strengthening ratio has to be investigated and evaluated when the strengthening design is conducted. In this study, to suggest more reasonable strengthening ratio, material and geometrical uncertainty was considered and applied by Monte Carlo Simulation (MSC) technique. Lastly, the critical strengthening ratio of concrete railroad bridge strengthened with NSM using CFRP plate was evaluated by using the limit state function with the target reliability index.

The concrete bridge decks on the main girder will usually develop initial cracks in the longitudinal or the transverse direction due to dry shrinkage and temperature change, and as the bridge decks age the crack will gradually develop in different directions due to repeated cyclic loads. The strengthening direction of the concrete bridge deck is a very important factor in improving proper structural behavior. Therefore, in this study, theoretical analyses of strengthened bridge decks were performed using the nonlinear finite element method. To improve the accuracy of the analytical result, boundary conditions and material property of strengthening material was simulated by laboratory condition and test results, respectively. The effect of the strengthening direction and the amount of strengthening material were estimated and compared to the experimental results. The efficiency of the strengthened bridge decks by strengthening variables such as the amount, width and thickness of CFS was observed.

Fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) reinforcing rebar with non-corrosive property is suggested as an alternative replacement to steel reinforcing rebar due to its enhanced durability and non-corrosive characteristics. Currently, a limited number of glass fiber reinforced polymer rebar (GFRP) are sold commercially due to their high cost, relatively low performances, and brittle failure characteristics. Therefore, the performance enhancements and cost reduction of GFRP rebar are needed to increase its applications in construction fields. The intent of this study is to develop high performance GFRP rebar by improving its tensile and shear properties. Also, in order to reduce manufacturing costs, factors such as material composition and manufacturing process were evaluated to improve manufacturing efficiency. Finally a GFRP rebar with enhanced material properties and less expensive than the GFRP rebar currently sold in the market was manufactured and evaluated for its application possibility in construction fields.

In this study, for one-way concrete slabs, the flexural strength, deflection, and crack width according to the amount of reinforcing bars were compared for the cases of using steel reinforcing bars and CFRP reinforcing bars. Critical performance dominating the flexural design was investigated and how to design the CFRP-reinforced concrete slab with efficiency was also discussed. It was found that CFRP-reinforced concrete slabs could achieve greater design flexural strength with the same amount of reinforcing bars compared to those using steel rebar, while deflection and crack width were relatively much larger. In concrete slabs using CFRP reinforcing bars, it was confirmed that the maximum crack width acts as a dominant factor in the design. For more efficient flexural design, it is necessary to mitigate the allowable crack width to 0.7 mm and to apply smaller diameter reinforcing bars to control the crack width.

댐 및 저수지 시설물은 노후화나 안전성 미확보로 인한 파손 또는 붕괴 발생 시 하류부에 막대한 인명과 재산피해 등 치명적인 결과를 초래하게 된다. 이러한 대형 안전사고를 예방하고자 시설물의 안전관리에 관한 특별법에서는 댐 시설물을 규모별로 1, 2종 시설물로 구분하고, 이에 대해 주기적으로 안전점검 및 정밀안전진단을 실시하도록 제도화하는 한편 진단 결과에 따라 보수 보강 등의 안전조치를 의무화하고 있다. 구조물 결함에 따른 보수 보강은 보수재료와 공법 선정시 공법의 적용성, 구조적 안전성, 경제성 등을 종합적으로 검토하여 결정하여야 한다. 손상 부위에 대한 보수 보강은 제한된 예산과 인력을 효율적으로 투자하기 위해 보수재료 및 공법의 선정 뿐만 아니라 보수 보강이 이루어져야 하는 부재에 대한 우선순위를 산정하는 것이 최우선적으로 선행되어야 한다. 안전점검 및 정밀안전진단 세부지침에서는 보수 보강 대책 마련 시안전점검 및 정밀안전진단 결과를 기초로 하여 적정 재료 및 공법을 선정하고, 보수 보강의 수준 및 우선순위를 결정하도록 명시되어 있다. 하지만 우선순위 결정에 대한 가이드라인이 부재하여 불필요한 시공과 비효율적인 예산 투입으로 인해 국가예산의 낭비되고 시설물의 안전까지 위협받게 되는 경우가 발생하고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 시설물의 상태에 따른 적절한 보수 보강 필요성을 판단하고 보수 보강 수준 및 우선순위를 결정하기 위한 방법론을 개발하였다. 댐 시설물에 대한 안전점검 및 정밀안전진단의 종합평가는 평가대상 개별시설에 대하여 상태 평가 및 안전성 평가를 실시한 후 그 결과에 의해 산출된 상태평가지수와 안전성평가지수를 비교하여 평가단계별로 그 결과를 취합하여 종합평가를 실시하고 있다. 따라서 상태평가에 의해 산정된 종합평가 결과를 이용하여 개별 부재의 상태평가값 산정을 위해 하부 단계의 가중치 및 평가 지수 역산하고, 재산정된 가중치 및 평가지수를 이용하여 각 부재에 대한 보수 보강 우선순위를 산정하고자 하였다. 개발된 방법론은 점검 진단 책임기술자 및 시설물 관리주체 담당자가 댐 시설물의 개별부재에 대한 보수 보강 실시 여부를 판정할 수 있는 기준으로, 보수 보강에 대한 정책 결정시 경제성을 고려한 신뢰도 있는 기준으로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Traditional external post-tensioning method using either steel bars or tendons is commonly used as a retrofitting method for steel composite bridges. However, the method has some disadvantages such as stress concentration at anchorages and inefficient load-carrying capability of live loads. Multi-stepwise prestressing method using thermal expanded coverplate is a newly proposed prestressing method, which was originally developed for prestressing steel structures. A new retrofitting method for steel girder bridges founded on a simple concept of thermal expansion and contraction of cover plate, the method is a hybrid of and combines the advantages of external post-tensioning and thermal prestressing. In this paper, basic concepts of the method are presented and an illustrative experiment is introduced. From actual experimental data, the thermal prestressing effect was substantiated and the FEM approach for its analysis was verified. The retrofitting effects ofa single-span bridge were analyzed and the feasibility of the developed method was examined.

In order to strengthen RC structures, various strengthening methods have been used. Particularly, external tendon strengthening method is very popular method to strengthen damaged structures in terms of efficiency, ease, economics. In this study, improved anchorage elements using the lifting hole were proposed to strengthen PSC or RC girder without any damage. Two types of anchorage elements were proposed and these elements were applied on six RC beams. Also, three types of existing anchorage elements were applied on three RC beams. Otherwise, any anchorage element was not applied on one RC beam to used as a control beam. To analyse behavior of these elements, static load tests were carried out. Test variables were anchorage shapes, prestressing level on the steel bar and tendon profiles. Deflections, strains and modes of failure were recorded to examine the strengthening effects of the beams. Ductility index and tendon stress were analyzed by comparing cracking load, yielding load and ultimate load. As a result, proposed anchorage elements using lifting hole were superior to existing anchorage elements in terms of strengthening effect and furthermore, they showed ductile behavior based on energy method.

This research presents the structural performance and an improving technique for flexural capacity of road safety facilities based on the damage cases by wind pressure. Among road safety facilities, a support frame of soundproofing walls is considered as a prototype structure and its corresponding structural behaviors and section design are performed mainly by analytical and experimental studies. On the basis of analytical results, glass fiber reinforced polymer(GFRP) with an epoxy matrix which is high stiffness-to-weight ratio was used for applied one of strengthening techniques and their results shows that support frame strengthened by GFRP is the most effective compared to other cases proposed in this research for advancing its flexural improvement, Finally, optimum section design was performed analytically to evaluate wind-resistance capacity and its result would be very useful for developing a practical design guideline for Road safety facilities under strong wind.
