기존 구조물의 보강을 하는 데는 휨모멘트 및 전단력에 대하여 충분한 보강 효과를 가지는 것과 함께 시공성을 만족해야만 한다. 현재 연속 섬유시트 중 아라미드섬유시트(AFS) 및 탄소섬유시트(CFS)는 기존구조물의 보강재로 사용한 사례가 증가하고 있으나 합리적인 보강설계방법이 확립되어 있지 않은 현 시점에서는 적절한 보강이 이루어지지 않는 경우가 많다 AFS 및 CFS에 의해 RC보의 적절한 보강을 위해서는 AFS 및 CFS를 이용한 기존 콘크리트 구조물의 보강설계방법의 구축이 급선무이다. (중략)

Many composite girder bridges have been constructed for about thirty five years. Nowadays they are aged or deteriorated because of the increase in traffic and vehicle loads. In this study, the effect of strengthening with glass fiber sheet is investigated to estimate the possibility for applying to damaged prestressed concrete bridges. One normal and eight cracked specimens which had been preloaded were tested. The cracked specimens were strengthened with either external prestressing or bonding glass fiber sheet, or using both methods. The results showed that the maximum loads are almost same for both methods. So it seems that the strengthening with glass fiber sheet can be used for strengthening damaged prestressed concrete girders. It is important that proper devices should be selected to prevent glass fiber sheet from premature bonding failure below its maximum load, which is similar to end anchorage problem in external prestressing method. It is proved that the devices proposed in this paper have sufficient anchoring capability to increase load carrying capacity.

네일(또는 락볼트)은 토사터널의 NATM 시공 시 보강재로 사용되어진다. 그러나, 네일의 적절한 설치방법이 아직까지 정립되지 않았다. 본 연구에서는 네일의 길이와 위치를 변화하여, 그 효용성을 연구하였다. 그 결과, 네일이 지반보강을 위하여 토사지반에 사용될 시 경제적인 길이는 터널직경의 0.5배이다. 보강의 효용성은 네일의 위치에 따라 터널라이닝 측벽의 하부, 중부, 상부의 순서이다.

This study suggests a method to determine optimal seismic retrofitting schemes for existing bridges based on weighting-factored evaluation. According to the recognition for potential seismic risk, various kinds of retrofitting methods are applied to improve the seismic performance of existing bridges. However, the relevant technique is not available to select optimal retrofitting scheme for bridges now. This suggested method weights five factors, structural compatibility, economic efficacy, environmental factor, consturctability and maintenance, and draws out optimal seismic retrofitting schemes. The application of the developed method to one hundred sixty existing bridges verifies the adaptability of this method. As a result, this study provides an idealized retrofitting schemes, and the suggested method could be a guideline to determine the more cost-effective and optimal retrofitting schemes for existing bridges in Korea.

In this study, in order to research the repair-strengthening methods, when fatigue crack occurs in the coped stringers of a steel railway bridge, we manufacture the full size of crossbeam-stringer and floor system model. Also the experimental test is performed on the coped stringers applying the repair-strengthening methods using the stop hole, combination plate, connection plate, bracket, and so on. The results indicate that, the most effective method is to set up connection plate and bracket in the top flange and bottom flange of the stringers, while we can consider the method of punching stop holes in the end of the crack as a subsidiary method. It is necessary to set up the combination plate when the length of crack is quite long.

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 study proposes a experimental method to evaluate bonding strength of FRPs used for retrofitting concrete structures. Specimens are designed so that debonding failure of FRPs can be induced from reinforced concrete beams retrofitted with two layers of carbon and glass FRPs. And three-point loading tests are performed to see if debonding failure with proper debonding strength is observed from the specimens. The test results show that the tested beams are failed due to debonding of FRPs, therefore, the proposed test method is capable of evaluating debonding strength of FRPs using relatively small normal strength concrete beams.

Since the diaphragm manhole of steel box girder bridges is designed generally from experience, it has become the primary factor in the excessive cost of steel bridge construction. For the economical and efficient manufacture of diaphragm manholes, it is necessary to study the exact behavior of the diaphragm manhole in a steel box girder bridge. In this study, both an experimental test and a structural analysis are performed to verify the behavior of the diaphragm manhole in a steel box girder bridge. A detailed structural analysis was performed according to various diaphragm manhole shapes, and in conclusion, the suitable reinforcement method for the support of diaphragm manholes in steel box bridges is presented.

This study has attempted to suggest a proper reinforcement method by strengthening unbonded post -tensioning through height of an anchorage hole, form of a saddle, and loading time point as parameters and evaluating the reinforcement method through a bending experiment. The result of this experiment indicated effects of reinforcement since the maximum strength ratio(the ratio of an experimental value to theoretical value) of SC composite beams before prestressed was 0.97 and after prestress were 1.00~1.21. As a result of analysis on displacement and strain, irrespective of height of an anchorage hole and loading time point, the D120-series specimen where an anchorage hole was installed on the neutral axis after reinforcement showed that its deflection continuously increased without sudden load reduction after maximum load and it stably behaved with relatively low strain of each part. In terms of reinforcement effects, the maximum strength of SCR-UD120 specimen prestressed after pre-loading was increased 1.72 times comparing to SC composite beams so SCR-UD120 specimen prestressed after pre-loading was shown to be the best.
