Piloti-type buildings in Korea are usually composed of lower frames and upper shear wall structures. Piloti-type buildings have been seriously damaged during earthquakes because of the construction of soft and weak stories. Piloti-type buildings with edge cores are two-way unsymmetric planes. This paper analyzed and obtained the dynamic response for structures modeled using a multistory two-way asymmetric system. The numerical results, obtained using the Newmark-β method, show the time-history responses and trends of maximum displacements and shear forces. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of reinforcement on dynamic response when a shear wall or brace is reinforced in the corner opposite the piloti.

Researches on strengthening and rehabilitation are important since structural capacity is degraded by deterioration or damage of structural members. An effective strengthening scheme such as an externally bonded Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymers (CFRP) can improve the structural performance of a concrete structure in a cost-effective way. Therefore, many experimental studies on strengthening methods have been widely carried out. In regards to the shear strengthening of a concrete beam, variables of the experimental studies were the amount of CFRP, the angle of the strip, the width of the strip, and the interaction between the materials. However, there are insufficient researches on bi-directional CFRP layout compared to the previous researches. In this study, a total of ten concrete beams were designed and tested to evaluate the shear strengthening effect using CFRP strips. The effectiveness of strengthening was investigated based on the shear contribution of materials, strain distribution of stirrup, and the maximum shear capacity of specimens.

RC beam of existing structures often encounter shear problems for various reasons. The shear failure of RC beam is sudden and brittle. Strengthening technique jacketing with external bonding of steel plates(or CFRP and CFS) with epoxy is many use to in practice. This study presents test results on strengthening shear deficient RC beams by external bonding of slit type steel plates. Test parameters are width, interval, length, thickness and angle of slit in steel plates. The purpose was to evaluate the reinforcing effects, failure modes and shear capacities for RC beams of strengthened with various slit type steel plates. The test result confirmed that all slit steel plates improved the stiffness and strength of the specimens significantly. Failure modes of SV series and SD series showed shear fractures and flexure fractures at ultimate state respectively. SD series were ductile rather than SV series.

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)

Fiber-sheet and steel-plate strengthening methods have been mainly used for strengthening the RC structures. However, recently the application of these two methods have dramatically decreased due to premature debonding failure between concrete surface and fiber-sheet and heavy self-weight of steel-plate. This article presents experimental results of shear behavior in RC beams strengthened with GSP(Glass fiber-Steel composite Plate). The thin steel plate in GSP makes usage of the anchoring system possible, which could delay or prevent the premature debonding failure. Three reference beams and 60 strengthened beams with GSP were tested. The experimental results showed that strengthened beams with GSP considerably increased in shear capacity compared with the reference beams.

In this paper, an experimental evaluation of shear strength of wide beam is presented. By the experiment in paper, shear strength depending on parameter of shear reinforcement by GFRP plate on wide beam is investigated. Specimens are 7 of reinforced by GFRP plate with openings. The shear reinforcement is manufactured into plate shape with openings to ensure perfect integration with concrete. The test was performed on 7 specimens. The parameters are including number of shear reinforcement by GFRP plates and center-to-center spacing between vertical strip. We analysed the crack, failure mode, strain, shear strength of specimens. A calculation of the shear strength of reinforced wide beam with GFRP plate based on ACI 318-11. The result of the experiment shows that the GFRP plate is works successfully as shear reinforcement in the wide beam.

This study suggested shear strength prediction model for retrofitted single-layered RC squat wall by providing column element as additional boundary element. This model revised existing shear strength prediction model of shear wall to consider detail and shear deformation capacity of column by assuming the length that concentrated shear deformation of the column is occurred. It was able to suggest additional compatibility condition related to shear strain of retrofitted of retrofitted shear wall at the ultimate state by using this length. Therefore, this study proposed a flow chart for predicting shear strength of the retrofitted shear wall considering this additional condition. Moreover, this study also proposed a method for predicting initial stiffness of the retrofitted shear wall by transforming the wall's resisting mechanism against to lateral load to a single diagonal strut mechanism. The proposed methods can predict shear strength and initial stiffness of not only the retrofitted shear wall of this study, also infilled RC shear wall in RC frame.

The aim of this paper is to clarify the shear behavior of RC beams strengthened with channel-type Fiber Reinforced Polymer(FRP) plates. Fourteen RC beams were specifically designed. All the beams were tested under four point bending and extensively instrumented to monitor strains, cracking, load capacity and failure modes. The structural response of all beams is then critically analyzed in terms of deformability, strength and failure processes. It is shown that with channel-type Fiber Reinforced Polymer(FRP) plates, a brittle debonding failure of beams bonding FRP in the concrete surface can be transformed to an almost ductile failure with well-defined enhancement of structural performance in terms of both deformation and strength.

The purpose of this study is to suggest structural design guidelines in additional shear-wall construction method for apartment remodeling with understanding the effects of the position, length and thickness of the additional walls. The slab-wall frames under seismic loads are analyzed using effective beam width model, which can practically evaluate the structural performance of existing building system. According to the results, proper design guidelines of additional shear-wall construction method(position, length and thickness) is suggested to get the required seismic performance.

In this paper, deformation characteristics of fiber-mixed-soils were studied at small strain range(0.0001%～1%) using resonant column test and triaxial test, and reinforcement effect was evaluated by the measure of maximum shear moduli. The effects of the major parameters such as fiber content, aspect ratio and fiber type on reinforcement were comparatively assessed. The specimens were remolded from Jumunjin Sand randomly mixed with discrete polypropylene staple fibers. Maximum shear moduli of fiber-mixed-soils increased by up to 30% and modulus reduction was also restrained in nonlinear range. Shear moduli increased as the aspect ratio increases. The reinforcement was more effective with fibrillated fiber than with monofilament fiber. The most effective reinforcement was achieved with the specimen of 0.3 % fiber content.
