This study was to define the strengthening effect of steel fibers in high strength RC columns. For this, ten specimens of columns were tested under cyclic lateral load and constant axial load. The testing parameters are steel fiber volume fraction of concrete and shear reinforcement ratio of hoop bars. Finally, the optimal content of steel fibers was evaluated as 1.0 - 1.5 % volume fraction of concrete.

In recent years, RC structures need reinforcement due to physical and chemical deterioration, reduction of serviceability and structural capacity. For reinforcement of RC structures, steel plate attachment, area increase and composite fiber sheet attachment methods are used, but there are some problems like weight increase, workability, quality control and fire resistance capacity. This study presents the effectiveness of flexural reinforcement of RC beams using composite rods that are inserted in high strength special purposed polymer mortar.

The collapse of concrete structures by extreme loads such as impact, explosion, and blast from terrorist attacks causes severe property damage and human casualties. Concrete has excellent impact resistance to such extreme loads in comparison with other construction materials. Nevertheless, existing concrete structures designed without consideration of the impact or blast load with high strain rate are endangered by those unexpected extreme loads. In this study, to improve the impact resistance, the static and impact behaviors of concrete beams caste with steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) with 0~1.5% (by volume) of 30 mm long hooked steel fibers were assessed. Test results indicated that the static and impact resistances, flexural strength, ductility, etc., were significantly increased when higher steel fiber volume fraction was applied. In the case of the layered concrete (LC) beams including greater steel fiber volume fraction in the tensile zone, the higher static and impact resistances were achieved than those of the normal steel fiber reinforced concrete beam with an equivalent steel fiber volume fraction. The impact test results were also compared with the analysis results obtained from the single degree of freedom (SDOF) system anaysis considering non-linear material behaviors of steel fiber reinforced concrete. The analysis results from SDOF system showed good agreement with the experimental maximum deflections.

본 논문에서는 재료적 성능이 우수하며 경량재료로서 최근 건설구조물에 활용하고자 하는 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있는 섬유보강재료(FRP : Fiber Reinforced Polymer)를 이용한 합성구조인 CFFT(Concrete Filled FRP Tube)의 설계프로그램을 개발하여 제안하고자 하였다. 먼저, CFFT구조는 FRP관에 의해 철근콘크리트가 구속되는 구조로서 기둥과 같이 축력이 도입되는 경우 포아송효과에 의한 변형을 FRP관이 구속효과를 줌으로써 콘크리트의 역학적 거동을 개선하게 되는데 본 연구에서는 실험에 의해 검증된 식을 제시하였으며 이를 바탕으로 CFFT구조를 설계하는 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 또한 CFFT구조는 FRP관의 구속으로 인해 고강도콘크리트와 긴장재의 도입이 가능한 구조로서 이에 대한 설계도 포함하였다. 그러나 이방성재료인 FRP의 설계와 동시에 FRP관에 의한 구속효과를 고려하는 CFFT구조의 설계는 일반 실무설계자들에게는 다소 난해한 작업으로써 전산화 설계프로그램의 필요성이 대두되어 본 연구에서 CFFT구조의 설계프로그램을 개발하였다. 개발된 설계프로그램의 검증을 위해 일반 철근콘크리트기둥, CFFT기둥, 고강도콘크리트와 PS긴장재를 도입한 CFFT기둥을 설계한 결과, 매우 실용적이며 타당한 설계가 수행될 수 있음을 확인하였다.

For the purpose of Military means, explosion proof concrete, which protect the structures from the damage due to the explosion of bomb and maintain its shape, is required to develop. Therefore, in this paper, mechanical and explosionproof properties of concrete are tested under various steel fiber contents and member size. According to the experimental results, compressive, tensile and flexural strength go up with the increase of fiber contents. Energy bearing capacities is higher with the increase of fiber contents. Especially, it is confirmed that slurry infiltrated fiber concrete (SIFCON) gains in high strength and has high energy bearing capacities. SIFCON is expected to apply in the construction of explosion proof structures.

Improving the earthquake resistance of buildings through seismic retrofitting using steel braces can result in brittle failure at the connection between the brace and the building, as well as buckling failure of the braces. This paper proposes a new seismic retrofit methodology combined with glass fiber sheet (GFS) and non-compression X-brace system using carbon fiber (CFXB) for reinforced concrete buildings damaged in earthquakes. The GFS is used to improve the ductility of columns damaged in earthquake. The CFXB consists of carbon fiber bracing and anchors, to replace the conventional steel bracing and bolt connection. This paper reports the seismic resistance of a reinforced concrete frame strengthened using the GFS-CFXB system. Cyclic loading tests were carried out, and the hysteresis of the lateral load-drift relations as well as ductility capacities were investigated. Carbon fiber is less rigid than the conventional materials used for seismic retrofitting, resulting in some significant advantages: the strength of the structure increased markedly with the use of CF X-bracing, and no buckling failure of the bracing was observed.

This study is aim to assess mechanical properties which is highly related to structural safe and durability of 100MPa high strength concrete mixed with amorphous metallic fiber. All specimens were heated with low velocity heating rate(1℃/min.), residual compressive strength and residual flexural strength was evaluated. The specimens were cooled down to room temperature after heating. As a result, in the case of 100MPa high-strength concrete, the residual compressive strength enhancing effect of amorphous metallic fiber has showed with the mix proportion of fiber. In addition, residual flexural strength showed more regular pattern before 300℃ then residual compressive strength, but simillar decreasing behavior was shown after 300℃ like residual compressive strength. Further study about fiber pull-out behavior and fiber mechanical, chemical property change due to temperature is needed.

In this study, ordinary Portland cement was used and the air void was minimized by using minute quartz as the filler. In addition, steel fibers were used to mitigate the brittle failure problem associated with high strength concrete. This study is in progress to make an Ultra-high strength powdered concrete (UHSPC) which has compressive strength over 300 MPa. To increase the strength of concrete, we have compared and analyzed the compressive strengths of the concretes with different mix proportions and curing conditions by selecting quartz sand, dolomite, bauxite, ferro silicon which have diameters less than 0.6 mm and can increase the bond strength of the transition zone. Ultra-high strength powdered concrete, which is different from conventional concrete, is highly influenced by the materials in the mix. In the study, the highest compressive strength of the powdered concrete was obtained when it is prepared with ferro silicon, followed in order by Bauxite, Dolomite, and Quartz sand. The amount of ferro silicon, when the highest strength was obtained, was 110%, of the weight of the cement. SEM analysis of the UHSPC showed that significant formation of C-S-H and Tobermorite due to high temperature and pressure curing. Production of Ultrahigh strength powdered concrete which has 28-day compressive strength upto 341MPa has been successfully achieved by the following factors; steel fiber reinforcement, fine particled aggregates, and the filling powder to minimize the void space, and the reactive materials.

In this study, pull-out tests were conducted at room temperature, 150 ℃ and 250 ℃ to evaluate the residual bond strength of carbon fiber reinforcement polymer, CFRP after elevated temperature and deformed steel rebar of D10 and D13 were also evaluated after the high temperature heating for comparison. As a result of the experiment, the bond strength of the CFRP after 150 ℃ and 250 ℃ decreased by 9.94 % and 41 %, respectively. On the other hand, after thermal heating, both the steel rebar of D10 and D13 had a lower rate of reduction in bond strength than that of the CFRP. Also slip at the maximum bond strength also decreased after the heating for both the CFRP and the rebars. Through it, the correlation between the bond strength and the slip reduction due to thermal heating was confirmed and bond slip models were presented. Finally the experimental result was evaluated as relative bond strength to identify the residual bond performance of the CFRP and the rebar after the heating was confirmed by comparing with the existing test result of the bond strength after elevated temperature.
