There is mounting recognition among concrete researchers that fiber reinforcement makes up for the inherent weakness in resisting tensile force of structural concrete. In practice of application of the fiber to concrete, however, several problems still remain to solve for assuring a uniform mix quality. The Kagome truss that is widely used in mechanical engineering field seems to be a good replacement for the steel fiber. This paper presents the test results of a pilot study for the concrete members reinforced by Kagome truss which is a periodic cellular metal of wire-woven. Three types of Kagome truss bulk were prefabricated and filled with normal concrete to make small-scaled test beams. The beams reinforced by a normal steel stirrups were also tested up to failure to compare the behavioral results. From the results obtained, it is appeared that comparing with beams reinforced by normal stirrups, the beams reinforced by Kagome truss showed better performance in load carrying capacity as well as ductility. Therefore, the Kagome truss is proved to be a good web shear reinforcing material.

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.

기존 콘크리트 구조물의 내력 및 처짐에 저항하기 위하여 섬유시트를 사용한 복합섬유 패널 보강재를 셋 앵커를 이용하여 콘크리트 구조물과 일체화시키는 공법을 개발하였다.. 본 연구에서 적용된 실험 결과에 의하면 엥커+에폭시 보강 I 시험체가 기준시험체에 비하여 최대하중이 3.13배 증가, 동일 앵커갯수인 앵커보강시험체에 비하여 1.14배 증가하여으며, 에폭시보강시험체는 기준시험체에 비하여 최대하중이 3.08배 증가하였으나 계면에서 섬유박리로 인한 취성 파괴가 발생하였다.

근년, 철근 콘크리트조 구조부재의 열화 및 건축물의 용도변경에 따라 건축물의 보수 및 보강에 관한 공법의 개발 및 그 효과를 검증하려는 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 이에 따라, 보강공법으로서는 경제성ㆍ시공성 면에서 우수한 탄소섬유시트, 아라미드섬유 시트, 유리섬유시트 보강공법 및 FRP판 보강공법 등 합성수지 접착제를 사용하는 새로운 보강공법들이 폭넓게 연구되어 현장 실용화되어 사용 중에 있다. 그러나, 이들 보강공법에 관한 연구는 주로 구조적인 내력 보강효과 산정에 관한 것이 대부분이고 보강후의 내화성능 및 내구성능에 관한 연구는 매우 부족한 실정이다. 이들 보강공법은 주로 에폭시수지계 접착제에 의하여 콘크리트와 보강재의 접착력에 의하여 내력이 전달되는 메커니즘으로 되어있어 화재가 발생한 경우 내화피복이 없다면 접착제 자체의 연소에 의하여 유독가스의 발생 및 접착강도가 크게 저하되어 그 구조적인 보강성능은 급속히 저하할 것으로 판단된다. 또한, 현재 이들 보강공사는 내화성능의 검토 없이 실제 시공이 이루어지고 있으므로 화재시에는 대형참사를 일으킬 위험성이 있다.(중략)

The shear failure modes of fiber reinforced polymer(FRP) strengthened concrete beams are quite different to those of the beams strengthened with steel stirrups. When the beams are strengthened with larger amount of FRP composites, the beams normally fail in shear due to concrete crushing before the FRP reaches its rupture strain. In order to predict the shear strength of such beams, the actual rupture strain must be known. The equations previously reported in the technical literature adopt an effective reduction factor for the rupture strain. These equations may not be applicable to FRP strengthened RC beams that are beyond the experimental application limits, because most of these equations are empirical in nature. This paper presents the results of an analytical study on the performance of reinforced concrete beams externally wrapped with FRP composites and internally reinforced with conventional steel stirrups.

This study evaluated the bonding property of fiber and flexural behavior of fiber reinforced concrete. Amorphous steel fiber, hooked steel fiber and polyamide fiber was used for evaluation of bonding property and flexural behavior. As a result, the hooked steel fiber was pulled out from matrix when peak stress. However amorphous steel fiber occurred shear failure because bonding strength between fiber and matrix was higher than tensile strength of fiber. Polyamide fibers occurred significantly displacement to peak stress because of elongation of fiber. After that peak stress, fiber was cut off. Amorphous steel fiber reinforced concrete had a greater maximum flexural load compared with hooked steel fiber reinforced concrete because bonding performance between fiber and matrix was high and mixed population of fiber was many. However flexural stress was rapidly reduced in load-deflection curve because of shear failure of fiber. Flexural stress of hooked steel fiber reinforced concrete was slowly reduced because fiber was pulled out from the matrix. In the case of polyamide fiber reinforced concrete, flexural stress was rapidly lowered because of elongation of fiber. However flexural stress was increased again because of bonding property between polyamide fiber and matrix. The pull-out properties of the fiber and matrix has effect on the deformation capacity and flexural strength of fiber reinforced concrete.

This study was conducted to evaluate the structural behaviors of Aramid fiber sheet reinforced slabs. Seven concrete slabs with $45{\times}8.5{\times}200cm$ were made for this experiment one slab with out being reinforced completely loaded until failure and the maximum load was obtained from this test. 70% of the maximum load was applied to 3 Aramid fiber sheet reinforced slabs after cracking and to the rest of 3 Aramid fiber sheet reinforced slabs without loading and cracking. Test results shows that maximum loading flexural rigidity and ductility for the Araimid fiber sheet reinforced slabs after initial cracking are similar as those for the Armied fiber sheet reinforced slabs without loading and cracking.

Corrosion and degradation of reinforced structures due to abnormal climates and natural disasters further accelerate the aging of structures. Coping with the decrease in structure performance, many old structures are being repaired and reinforced with low-weight and high-strength materials such as glass fiber composite material (GFRP). To further contribute, this paper focus on a more economical and eco-friendly material, basalt fiber composite (BFRP), which provide a more effective lateral constraint effect for seismic reinforcement. The main variables considered in this study are the curing temperature during the manufacturing of BFRP and the material characteristics of the target concrete member. The lateral constraint reinforcement effect was investigated through the evaluation of the performance of normal concrete and those with improved durability through fiber reinforcement. The reinforcement effect was 3.15 times for normal concrete and 3.72 times for fiber reinforced concrete, and the difference in reinforcement effect due to the improvement of the durability characteristics of the compression member was not significant. Lastly, the performance of the BFRP was compared with the results of the GFRP reinforcement from the previous study. The effect of the BFRP reinforcement was 1.18 times better than that of the GFRP reinforcement.

본 연구는 인성지수에 의하여 섬유보강 콘크리트의 인성을 평가하는 기존의 여러 가지 방법을 검토하는, 하중-처짐곡선에서 초기균열시까지의 여러 가지 다른 곱으로 나타내어지는 방법의 불합리성을 지적하였다. 이를 위하여 본 연구에서는 유효인성이라고 부르는 새로운 방법을 강섬유 보강콘크리트의 인성을 평가하는데 제안하였다. 이는 초기균열을 가진 3점 휨강도 시험에 의한 하중-처짐곡선에서 지간의 1/150까지의 면적을 ligament면적으로 나눈값으로 나타낸다. 이 방법을 사용하여 강섬유 보강 고강도 콘크리트 인성특성을 검토한 결과 기존의 방법보다 더 효과적으로 인성을 평가할 수 있었다.
