Flexural strength of concrete ground slab reinforced with steel fiber is evaluated using the equivalent flexural strength ratio of steel fiber reinforced concrete based on the yield line theory. Recently, the European standard specifies that the tensile performance of the steel fiber reinforced concrete be evaluated directly from the residual flexural strength after the cracking of concrete. Thus, in the study, an experiment was carried out to evaluate the conventional equivalent flexural strength ratio and the residual flexural strength of the steel fiber reinforced concrete. Then the design flexural strength was investigated according to the location of a point load, based on the ratio of the radius of contact area of the load to the radius of relative stiffness. Design flexural capacity obtained from ACI 360R-10 was smaller than that from TR 34 (2003 & 2013). In addition, TR 34 (2013), which evaluates the design flexural capacity based on the residual flexural strength, showed slightly smaller value than TR 34 (2003).

CFT가 갖는 다양한 구조적 이점으로 인해, 축력이 지배적인 기둥 구조물에만 주로 적용되던 CFT 요소가 점차 거더에 적용되어 가고 있다. 그러나, 현재 CFT 요소에 대한 설계 기준은 축력이 지배적인 보-기둥 구조물에 대한 것으로 제한되어 있으며, 휨이 지배적인 보 구조물에 대한 현행 설계 기준의 적용성을 검토해야 할 필요가 있다. 현행 설계기준에서 제시하고 있는 CFT 요소의 극한 강도 평가방법은 소성응력분배법 및 변형률적합법으로 구분되어지며, 각 방법을 이용한 극한 강도의 평가결과를 기존 연구자들의 CFT 요소 휨 실험결과와 비교 분석하였다. 휨 강성 평가에 대한 타당성을 검증하기 위해 AISC에서 제시하는 휨 강성 평가식을 기존 실험 연구와 비교 검토하였으며, 아울러 압축력에 따라 휨 강성을 보정할 수 있도록 수정된 Roeder et al.의 제안식을 함께 검토하였다. 검토 결과, 강도 평가에 있어서는 설계 기준에서 제안하는 두 방법 모두 CFT 거더의 휨 강도를 적절히 평가할 수 있었으며, 강성 평가에 있어서는 설계 기준의 제안식이 휨 초기 강성을 적절히 평가하는 반면 사용 단계에서의 휨 강성은 Roeder et al.의 수정된 강성 평가식에 의해 적절히 평가할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

This paper aims at investigating the bending strength of high-strength concrete beams with compressive strength of 80 MPa. The experimental parameters included nominal yielding strength of rebar with 400 and 600 MPa, rebar ratio ranging from 0.98 to 1.97%, and shear span-effective depth ratios (a/d) of 6.0 and 4.8. Experimental results were discussed regarding load-deflection relationship, ductility, bending strength, and prediction of bending strength of beams. Test results indicate that the use of high-strength rebar increased bending strength but decreased ductility. As span-effective depth ratio increased, the ductility of test beams decreased. In addition, test results of bending strength were compared with predictions from the current KCI code, Eurocode 2 and Korean Highway Design Specification (KHDC). The design code predictions for bending strength underestimated the experimental results. Therefore, the current design code predictions for bending strength of high-strength concrete beams would provide conservative design. Predictions of bending strength from KCI code using strength reduction factors and those from Eurocode 2 as well as KHDC using material factors were similar each other.

This paper studies the bending behavior of ultra-high-performance fiber-reinforced concrete (UHPFRC) beams focused on the effect of variation in major material design parameters such as tensile strength, elastic modulus of UHPFRC, and rebar ratio. Analytical results show that the variation in the range of ${\pm}20%$ in the tensile strength of UHPFRC causes the significant difference in ${\pm}8{\sim}9%$ of bending strength compared to the reference condition. The variation of elastic modulus in UHPFRC rarely causes the effect on the bending strength of the UHPFRC section, whereas causes the difference in the slopes of moment-curvature curves, indicating different bending stiffness of UHPFRC sections. For the rebar with yield strength of 400MPa, the bending strength of SC120f is increased by 30, 67, and 99% when the rebar ratio is 1.0, 1.5, and 20%, respectively, compared to the rebar ratio of 0.5%. Therefore, it is observed that the variation of rebar ratio significantly affects the difference in bending strength of UHPFRC beams. However, as the compressive strength of UHPFRC becomes greater, the effect of rebar ratio on the increase of bending strength is decreased.

The flexural strength of composite HSB I-girders under a positive moment was investigated using the moment-curvature analysis method to evaluate the applicability of the current AASHTO LRFD design specifications to such girders. A total of 2,391 composite I-girder sections that satisfied the section proportion limits of the AASHTO LRFD specifications was generated by the random sampling technique to consider a wide range of section properties. The flexural capacities of the sections were calculated inthe nonlinear moment-curvature analysis in which the HSB600 and HSB800 steels were modeled as an elasto-plastic strain-hardening material, and the concrete, as a CEB-FIP model. The effects of the ductility ratio and the compressive strength of the concrete slab on the flexural strength of the composite girders made of HSB and SM520-TMC steels were analyzed. The numerical results indicated that the current AASHTO LRFD equation can be used to calculate the flexural strength of composite girders made of HSB600 steel. In contrast, the current AASHTO LRFD equation was found to be non-conservative in its prediction of the flexural strength of composite HSB800 girders. Based on the numerical results of this study for 2,391 girders, a new design equation for the flexural strength of composite HSB800 girders in a positive moment was proposed.

본 연구는 고강도 강재를 적용한 연속교 형식의 강교량에 대하여 연구를 수행하였다. 교량에 사용되는 주구조의 고강도화에 따로 연속교의 교각 부근 부모멘트부에는 정모멘트부에 비하여 큰 모멘트가 작용하게 된다. 또한 정모멘트 구간과 달리 상부플랜지에 인장력이 작용하게 되어 완공 후에도 극한 하중 상태에서 콘크리트 데크가 응력을 부담할 수 없게 된다. 이에 따라 하부 플랜지에 불안정 파괴가 발생할 가능성이 있으며 비합성 단면과 같은 방법으로 설계하게 된다. 또한 모멘트 재분배를 고려한 설계를 하기 위해서는 부모멘트부에 충분한 휨 연성이 필요하다. 고강도 강재를 적용한 교량은 일반강재를 적용한 교량에 비하여 휨연성이 감소하게 되므로 휨연성 확보를 위한 보강방안이 필요하다. 본 연구는 부모멘트부의 휨연성 향상을 휘하여 가로보의 부등 배치를 제안하였으며, 유한요소해석 결과 휨연성이 향상되었다.

The concrete structural design provisions in Korea are based on ultimate strength design. Up to service load stage, it is assumed a linear stress-strain relation, but there is no stress-strain relationship for a concrete material from service load stage to limat state. According to the current provisions, an independent method is provided for the each calculation of deflection and crack width. In EC2 provisions based on limit state design, however, a stress-strain relationship of concrete is provided. Thereby, it is able to calculate a strength as well as a deflection directly from concrete stress-strain relationship. In this paper the moment-curvature relationship is directly calculated from a material law using equilibrium and compatibility conditions. Then strength and deflection are formulated. These results are compared with the values from the current provisions in Korea. From the results, the deflection based on a moment-curvature relationship is well agreed with experimental results and it is appeared that the deflection after the yielding of steel is also possible.

Strength method for determining nominal moment capacity of reinforced concrete members is also assumed to be suitable for strengthened members with FRP system. If the internal tensile forces of the strengthened member from steel and FRP is insufficient, the FRP system strain might become greater than its ultimate tensile strain which makes the strength method a contradiction and unapplicable. The experimental results of 27 strengthened beams with carbon fiber sheets which have relatively lower tensile forces from steel and FRP show that not only concrete compressive strain is lower than 0.003 but also measured ultimate moment was lower than nominal moment using the strength method.

This paper presents a research work for the evaluation of the nominal flexural strength of composite girders in positive bending region. Current predicting equations for the nominal flexural strength of composite girders in the 2012 version of the Korea Bridge Design Codes based on Limit State Design Method are able to apply for the composite girders with conventional structural steels. For applying composite girders with high yield strength steels of HSB800 as well as HSB600, there is a need for improving the current predicting equations. In order to investigate the nominal flexural strength of composite girders, previous research works are carefully reviewed and parametric study using a moment-curvature analysis program is conducted to evaluate the ultimate moment capacity and the ductility of a wide range of composite girders. Based on the results of the parametric study, less conservative nominal flexural strength design equations are proposed for conventional composite girders. In addition, new design equations for predicting the nominal flexural strength of composite girders with HSB600 and HSB800 high-performance steels are provided.

The flexural strength of composite HSB hybrid I-girders under positive moment is investigated by the moment-curvature analysis method to evaluate the applicability of the current AASHTO LRFD design specification to such girders. The hybrid girders are assumed to have the top flange and the web fabricated from HSB600 steel and the bottom flange made of HSB800 steel. More than 6,200-composite I-girder sections that satisfy the section proportion limits of AASHTOL RFD specifications are generatedby the random sampling technique to consider a statistically meaningful wide range of section properties. The flexural capacities of the sections are calculated by the nonlinear moment-curvature analysis in which the HSB600 and HSB800 steels are modeled as an elastoplastic, strain-hardening material and the concrete as CEB-FIP model. The effects of ductility ratio and compressive strength of concrete slab on the flexural strength of composite hybrid girders make of HSB steels are analyzed. Numerical results indicated that the current AASHTO-LRFD equation can be used to calculate the flexural strength of composite hybrid girders fabricated from HSB steel.
