Most experiments carried out in the previous studies dealt with the highly reinforced concrete beams (RC beams) in case of rehabilitating with external tendon. However, the reinforcing effect of external tendons cannot be clearly analyzed in this kind of RC beams because the rehabilitating tendon quantity for it is too small. By this reason, this study chose the low RC beams rehabilitated with external tendons. Therefore, in this study, 7 test beams were manufactured and flexural behavior tests were performed to assess the reinforcing effect and to find more proper rehabilitating method by external tendon. The reinforcing effect increased according to the quantity of tendons, and was especially added by repairing cracks with epoxy resin. It was shown that the design equations of AASHTO 1994 and ACI-318 did not show a good agreement with test results. The result of this study will be able to be used effectively in finding the more proper rehabilitating method of the damaged RC beams.

This paper is to investigate the reinforcing effects of newly devised Tire-cell mat made of waste tires in sand. Parametric study on number of connection bolts between Tirecells, relative density of sand, embedded depth, number of reinforced layers and width of Tirecell mat was made by using plate loading tests. It is found that the number of connection bolt was enough to maintain the given pressure. The bearing capacity ratio(BCR), which is defined as the rate of ultimate bearing capacity of reinforced soil to that of unreinforced soil, is the highest at the lowest density. And the reinforcing effect can be obtained in case of embedded depth within 1.0B, where B is loading width. Also settlement reduction is the highest at the lowest density of sand. The effect of number of Tirecell reinforced layers with 0.4B to 0.5B interval is limited to 2 layers and further reinforcing effects can not be obtained beyond 3 layers. Especially, the bearing capacity increased remarkably at 1 layer of reinforcement and the degree of increase was small from 1 layer to 2 layers of reinforcement. The effect of mat width of Tirecell was not significant because of high stiffness of Tirecell although the maximum bearing capacity was shown at the 2.0B mat width and the reinforcing effects of Tirecell, in general, was prominent compared with those of commercial Geoweb.

This paper contains the experimental results on strengthening effect of RC beams strengthened with NSM CFRP reinforcement and various strengthening details. A total of 14 beams have been tested to analyze strengthening effects of NSMR with various reinforcement details. Variables were cross-sectional shape of CFRP reinforcements, strengthening areas, grooves the number and location etc. Test results revealed that failure modes of NSMR showed two types. One was bond failure at interface between concrete and filler and the other was CFRP rupture. Also, failure mode of specimens with two grooves occurred premature bond failure because of superposition of failure surfaces at concrete around grooves. failure mode of MI specimens considered the equivalent section have changed bond failure to CFRP rupture and CFRP efficiency has improved 83% to 100%.

This paper presents the effects of the tunnel stability using rebar steel pipe which is the steel pipe reinforced by rebar. In order to carry out this research, not only the theoretical and experimental study for bending stiffness of normal steel pipes and rebar steel pipes but also numerical analysis of tunnel stability are performed. It is clearly found from the results that 65% of bending stiffness of the rebar steel pipe is larger than that of the normal steel pipe. The results obtained from the numerical analysis of tunnel stability show that about 10% of tunnel stability is increased in case of the rebar steel pipe. The rebar steel pipe, therefore, may be very useful to develope the tunnel stability economically.

The purpose of this study is to define the shear reinforcing effect of Near-Surface-Mounted (NSM) FRP strips in reinforced concrete (RC) member through a test. Three T shaped RC beams were made and two of them were strengthened with NSM FRP strips for increase shear strength. And those were tested to find the shear strengthening effect. In the test, two case of shear strengthening methods were considered such as 1) with NSM FRP strips having full embedded length and 2) with NSM FRP strips having some what short embedded length and additional externally bonded FRP sheet. As a result, the shear strengthening effect could be obtained when the NSM FRP strips are embedded to have full length up to the bottom of slab. However the shear strength was not increased in the case of having somewhat short embedded length of NSM FRP strips even additional EB sheet was enhanced.

이동 집중력 및 집중질량에 의한 이동하중을 받는 직사각형 보강판에 대하 여 보강재효과집중 모델링방법에 의거하여 보강판을 등방성 박판 및 보강재 효과를 반영한 등가보요소로 이루어진 판-보 조합체로 유한요소 모델링하고 Newmark의 직접 시간적분법을 이용한 동응답 해석방법을 정식화하였다. 일 련의 수치계산 예를 통하여 본 연구에서 제시한 방법이 이동하중을 받는 보 강판의 동응답 해석문제에 효과적으로 적용될 수 있음을 확인하였다. 아울러 parametric study를 통하여 이동하중이 작용하는 보강판의 동응답특성은 이 동하중의 질량효과를 고려하는 경우와 고려하지 않는 경우 매우 달라지며, 이동하중에 의한 동적응답은 이동속도가 증가할수록 정하중에 의한 응답보 다 증폭되어 나타나고 증폭비율이 질량효과를 고려할 경우 훨씬 더 커짐을 확인하였다.

Compressive strength of concrete compression members strengthend with carbon fiber laminate(CFL) were studied from the test results. Test parameters are spacing, thickness, width, ply and spliced length of carbon fiber laminates. Specimens strength with sheets failed with sudden tensile rupture of the laminate, which indicate very brittle failure mode. Test result shows that closer spacing and to increas thickness of CFL is more effective. But strengthening ratio with 1-ply CFL is more effective than that of specimen with 2-ply CFL. Compressive strength capacity of specimen splied 24cm shows almost similar strength to that of non-spliced specimen. The ultimate load carrying of specimen strengthened with CFL ranges 1.11~1.86 times of that of non-strengthened specimen.

최근들어 손상된 실구조물의 보강공법들이 적용,발전되어왔다. 가장 보편적으로 사용된공법이 강판과 탄소섬유를 이용한 공법이지만, 이론적인 배경과 적용기술이 아직은 정립되어었지 않은 상태이다. 강판보강의 경우 단부에서의 응력집중이 보강 효과를 결정짓는 가장 중요한 변수이므로, 본 연구에서는 이러한 응력집중을 완화하기 위하여 단부에 보강판과확대판을 부착하여 실험을 하였고, 탄소섬유 보강 실험에서는 다층 시공시 보강량을 조절하여 실험하였다. 실험 결과는 하중-처짐, 항복하중, 최대하중, 보강재의 전단응력의 분포와 보강재의 파괴양상을 분류하여 정리하였다. 실험을 통하여 강판 보강의 경우 본 연구에서 제안된 단부에서의 보강방법이 보강효과가 향상된 것을 확인하였고 탄소섬유 보강시에는 탄소섬유의 보강량을 조절함으로써 경제적인 설계와 시공이 가능한 것으로 나타났다.

As composite materials, the addition of steel fiber with concrete significant)y improves the engineering properties of structural members, notably shear strength and ductility. Flexural strength, fatigue strength, and the capacity to resist cracking are also enhanced. Especially the strengthening effect of steel fiber in shear is to prevent the brittle shear failure. In this study, shear-strengthening effect of steel fiber in RC short columns were investigated from the literature surveys and 10th specimem's member test results. From the test results, following conclusions can be made; the maximum enhancement of shear-strengthening effect can be achieved at about 1.5 ％ of steel fiber contents, shear strength and ductility capacity were improved remarkably in comparison to stiffness and energy dissipation capacity in steel fiber reinforced concrete.

This study investigates the effect of carbon fiber sheet (CFS) and carbon fiber strand sheet (CFSS) on the fatigue resistance and compressive strength of RC slabs. The results of a comparison of the number of equivalent cycles between the CFS- and CFSS-reinforced RC slab test specimens obtained from a fatigue test indicate that the CFSS-reinforced RC slab has 1.2~1.3 times greater effect of reinforcement than the CFS-reinforced RC slab. This study also indicates that the fatigue resistance of the CFS- and CFSS-reinforced RC slabs is ensured when the compressive strength of concrete is not lower than the specified design strength prescribed in the Specifications for Highway Bridges but is not ensured when the compressive strength of concrete is lower than the specified design strength, although the effect of reinforcement is secured.
