The objective of the present study is to evaluate the shear transfer capacity of transverse reinforcement at the concrete interfaces with smooth construction joint. The transverse reinforcing bars were classified into two groups: V-type for the arrangement perpendicular to the interface and X-type for inclined-crossing arrangement. The transverse reinforcement ratio at the interface varied from 0.0045 to 0.0135 for V-type and 0.0064 to 0.0045 for X-type. The mechanism analysis proposed for monolithic concrete interface, derived based on the upper-bound theorem of concrete plasticity, was modified to evaluate the shear friction capacity of concrete interfaces with smooth construction joint. Test results showed that the specimens with X-type reinforcement had lower amount of relative slippage at the interface and higher shear friction capacity than the companion specimens with V-type reinforcement. This observation was independent of the unit weight of concrete. The mean and standard deviation of the ratios between the experimental shear friction strength of smooth construction joints and predictions obtained from the proposed model are 1.07 and 0.14, respectively.

The recent earthquake in Korea caused large and small damages to many school building. School building is an important building that is used as a shelter in the event of disaster. Among the seismic retrofit methods, the internal steel braced frame type method is used for its relatively easy construction and excellent performance. In this study, the maximum shear force and displacement were compared and examined by applying the brace frame to existing concrete school buildings. As a result, we verified the adequacy of the analytical model and compared and examined the effect of brace-height ratio on the span of the existing school buildings. The adequacy of the maximum shear force and displacement relationship can be confirmed in the model with a length of 0.3. In addition, seismic frame was applied to the actual non-seismic reinforced concrete school building, and the seismic performance was evaluated by nonlinear static analysis(Push-over analysis) according to the ratio of brace-height. As a result, the increase of the brace-height according to the brace-height ratio has the effect of increasing the maximum shear force and maximum load at the performance point. But the collapse of the braced frame due to the increase in the lateral stiffness occurred, indicating that seismic retrofit according to the proper brace-height is necessary. Therefore, in the seismic retrofit design of brace frame of existing school building, it is necessary to select the proper brace-height after retrofit analysis according to the brace-height ratio.

Recent advances in material technology has accelerated the development of higher strength concretes using lightweight manufactured aggregates.Concretes with these chnractcristics are designable since the reductiun of dead loads and the increase in load capacity can oflix substantial cost reductions. Alt,hough thesc rharackristics are very desirable, very little information is availablc to the structural rivic;~~,cher about the properties of highstrength lightweight concrete. In general, shear strength of reinforced concrete beams is dependent on the compressive strength of concrete. the longitudinal steel ratio, the shear span to the depth ratio and shear reinforcement. In this study. eight single reinforced high strength lightweight concrete beams were tested to investigate their behavior and to determine their ultimate shear strengths.The variables studied in this investigation are shear span to effective depth ratio a/d = 1.5. 2.5, 3.5 and 4.5 : vertical shear reinforcement ratio ${\rho}_8= 0%$ and 1.136%. Test results were analyzed and compared with strengths predicted by ACI code equation. Zsutty's equation. As the results, ACI Eq.(ll-3) and ACI Eq.(ll-6) are conservative for high strength lightweight concrete beam. Also Zsuttyrs Eq. is conservative for beams except short beams. (a/d= 1.5)

Recently, the research of FRP bar as an alternative reinforcing material in reinforced concrete structures has increased to get an innovative solution to the corrosion problem. In addition to the noncorrosive nature of FRP materials, they also have a high strength-to-weight ratio. Therefore, when light weight concrete reinforced with FRP bar is used in marine environment, for instance floating structures, some advantages can be expected. But researches for the light weight concrete structure using FRP bar as a flexural reinforcement are limited to date. In this paper, the concrete shear contribution of the light weight concrete beam reinforced with GFRP bar was studied. Experiment for beams varying concrete compressive strengths and flexural reinforcement ratios was conducted and analysed. The test results showed that 75% of values obtained from proposed equation in preceding research were well agreed with the test results and were better results than the one predicted by the ACI 440.1R-06 code.

건축물의 고충화, 대형화 및 특수화에 따른 콘크리트의 고강도화는 필수적이다. 그러나 고강도화는 높은 취성파괴 양성을 보여주며, 이들이 전단파괴의 병합될 때 구조체의 안전성에 큰 문제를 던져주고 있다. 본 연구는 고강도 콘크리트(f'c=800㎏/㎠)보가 전단보강이 되어있지 않은 경우 전단강도 및 파괴 양성을 조사하기 위하여 주요변수로서 전단스팬비(a/d)=3.0, 4.0, 6.0그리고 주근비 (ρt)=0.5ρb, 1.0ρb로 하였다. 실험결과, 현재의 건설부 극한강도 구조 규준식이나 ACI규준식은 주근량과 a/d의 효과를 과소평가하고, 콘크리트의 강도 증가에 따른 잇점은 과대평가하고 있는 것으로 판명되었다.

Because of the characteristics relating to high tensile ductility, High Performance Fiber Reinforced Cementitious Composites (HPFRCC) are studied to be adopted in repair and retrofit of buildings. A series of three shear wall specimens was tested under constant axial stress and reversed cyclic lateral loading in order to evaluate the seismic retrofit that had been proposed for the shear wall with the opening. The retrofit involved the use of newly developed ECC and MDF(Macro Defect Free), both of which are sprayed through the high pressure pump, over the entire face of the wall. The results indicate that two difference types of retrofitting strategy make the different effects of a rise in the strength and ductility of each specimen.

Shear experiments were carried out to evaluate shear performance of SFRC deep beams with end-anchorage of SD600 high strength headed reinforcing tensile bars. The experimental variables include the end-anchorage methods of tensile bars (headed bar, straight bar), the end-anchorage lengths, and the presence of shear reinforcement. Specimens with a shear span ratio of 1 showed a pattern of the shear compression failure with the slope cracks progressed after the initial bending crack occurred. Specimens with end-anchorage of headed bars (H-specimens) showed a larger shear strengths of 5.6% to 22.4% compared to straight bars (NH-specimens). For H-specimens, bearing stress reached 0.9 to 17.2% of the total stress of tensile bars up to 75% of the maximum load, and reached 22.4% to 46%. This shows that the anchorage strength due to the bearing stress of headed bars has a significant effect on shear strength. The experimental shear strength was 2.68 to 4.65 times the theoretical shear strength by the practical method, and the practical method was evaluated as the safety side.

In this paper, effect of steel fiber inclusion, compressive strength of matrix, shear reinforcement and shear span to depth ratio on the flexural behavior of UHPFRC(Ultra High Performance Fiber Reinforced Concrete) were investigated with test of 10-UHPFRC beam specimens. All test specimens were subjected to the flexural static loading. It was shown that steel fiber significantly improve the shear strength of UHPFRC beams. 2% volume fraction of steel fiber change the mode of failure from shear failure to flexural failure and delayed the failure of compressive strut with comparatively short shear span to depth ratio. UHPFRC beams without steel fiber had a 45-degree crack angle and fiber reinforced one had lower crack angle. Shear reinforcement contribution on shear strength of beams can be calculated by 45-degree truss model with acceptable conservatism. Using test results, French and Korean UHPFRC design recommendations were evaluated. French recommendation have shown conservative results on flexural behavior but Korean recommendation have shown overestimation for flexural strength. Both recommendations have shown the conservatism on the flexural ductility and shear strength either.

In the NRC (New paradigm Reinforced Concrete) beam, steel forms, main angles used as main reinforcements, and shear angles used as basic shear reinforcements are welded and assembled in the form of vierendeel truss structures in a steel factory. After the NRC truss frame is installed at the site, additional main reinforcement and shear reinforcement are distributed. In this study, the shear performance evaluation of the NRC beam was conducted through shear tests in accordance with the type of shear reinforcement of the NRC beam (shear angle, inclined shear reinforcing bar, and U-type cover bar). As a result of the test, the initial stiffness was similar before the initial cracking of each specimen, and all specimens were shear fractured.The shear reinforcements of the specimens exhibited a yielding behavior at the time of the maximum sheat force, and the shear strengths of the specimens increased as the amount of reinforcement of the shear reinforcement increased. These results show that NRC shear reinforcements exhibit shear performance corresponding to their shear strength contribution. As a result of calculating the nominal shear strengths according to KDS 14 20 22, the experimental shear strengths of the NRC beam specimens with shear reinforcement was 37~146% larger than the nominal shear strengths, so It was evaluated as a safety side.

The corroded pier that has corrosion of the tranverse steel, main steel and lapsplice directly affects the seismic performance. The corrosion of the tranvese and main steel directly reduce the shear strength and bendig strength. If steel corrosion occurs in lap splice, the flexural strength and flexibility of existing corroded pier that are not seismic design are significantly reduced. In addition, as the axial force acting on the pier increase the shear strength. Considering these effects. In this stuydy, we cosidered steel corrosion, lap splice and axial force, for a reasonable evaluation of seismic-performance. It is confirmed that flexular failure occurs at pies where shear failure is expected to occur due to corrosion of reinforcement. These failure modes and their reason are analyzed, and necessary considerations are presented for seismic reinforcement.
