Precast concrete (PC) panels are often used as retaining walls to support soil pressure. In such a case, the panels should be connected at the location where PC panels meet with a buttress. However, it is not easy to provide enough development length for the reinforcing steels due to the limited width of the buttress. If it happens, the width of buttress should be increased as large enough although it is not desirable. The critical section required for providing the development length is always located where the flexural moment is maximum. Thus it is the place the buttress width ends. Also it is the place that the reinforcing steels stressed to maximum. However, it is possible to make differentiate between the maximum moment location and the most stressed location of reinforcing steels. It means that the most stressed location of reinforcing steels, the critical section, can be moved to the other place where the moment is not maximum. New critical location will have less moment than that of buttress width ends. In consequence, the development length would be longer than that of the typical way of construction. Debonding or cutting technique make it possible to reduce the moment strength of a section. Therefore reinforcing steels are debonded or cut to have a desired flexural strength at a desired place. In this study, five test specimens in full scale were erected to examine the effects of critical section movement in PC panel joints. Test parameters were the length variations of debonded and cut reinforcing steels. The test results showed that the debonding or cutting technique could be used to lengthen the development length in the joint of PC panels.

실제구조물의 균열을 노치를 삽입하는 방법으로 시뮬레이션하고 콘크리트 강도와 철근비를 변수로하는 실험적 연구를 통하여 철근콘크리트 보의 강판접착에 의한 보강효과를 규명하였다. 보강철근비와 보강된 보의 최대내력과의 관계를 회귀식을 통하여 제안하고 강판보강도니 보의 최대내력과 연성측면에서 구조적 거동을 고찰하였으며 최대내력시까지 외부강판과 철근콘크리트 보의 합성작용이 유지되는 것을 확인하였다. 또한 노치에 의하여 시뮬레이션된 균열의 영향을 고려하여 강판보강된 철근콘크리트 보의 휨강성을 평가하도록 실험결과를 회귀분석하여 실험식을 제안하였다.

철근콘크리트 구조물은 타설 후 시간이 경과함에 따라 물리적인 요인과 화학적인 요인으로 인하여 열화가 발생한다. 열화를 고려한 구조해석에서 모든 열화 관련 변수를 고려하는 것은 비효율적이다. 따라서 구조물의 거동과 밀접한 관련이 있는 중요열화변수를 정의하는 것이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 철근콘크리트 전단벽의 경년열화 해석시 중요변수를 고려하기 위하여 민감도해석을 수행하였다. 해석결과에 의하면 재료의 경화와 관련한 변수들이 열화와 관련한 변수들보다 지진응답이 민감하게 나타났다. 해석모델의 낮은 철근비로 인하여 콘크리트의 탈락에 의한 지진응답의 변화보다 철근의 단면손실에 의한 지진응답의 변화가 크게 나타났다. 만약 원전과 같이 철근비가 높은 전단벽에서는 철근의 단면손실도 지진응답에 대한 중요변수가 될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

Eight small scale circular reinforced concrete columns were tested under cyclic lateral load with constant axial load. Test specimens were designed with 4.5 aspect ratio. The selected test variables are longitudinal steel ratio, transverse steel ratio, yielding strength of longitudinal steel and axial load ratio. The test results of columns with different longitudinal steel ratio, transverse steel ratio and axial load ratio showed different seismic performance such as equivalent damping ratio, residual displacement and effective stiffness. It was found that the column with low strength of longitudinal steel showed significantly reduced seismic performance, especially for equivalent damping ratio and residual displacement. The regulation of flexural over-strength is adopted by Korea Bridge Design Specifications (Limited state design, 2012). The test results are compared with nominal strength, result of nonlinear moment-curvature analysis and the design specifications such as AASHTO LRFD and Korea Bridge Design Specifications (Limited state design).

This research is a park of a research program to develope a new design method for reinforced concrete bridge columns under axial load and cyclic lateral load. The objectives of this paper are to investigate the relationship between curvature ductility and displacement ductility and to propose a correlation equation for designing of reinforced concrete bridge columns under axial load and cyclic lateral load. Computer program NARCC was used for parametric study, which was proved to provide good and conservative analytical result especially for deformation capacity and ductility factor compared with test result. A total of 7,200 spirally reinforced concrete columns were selected considering the main variables such as section diameter, aspect ratio, concrete strength, yielding strength of longitudinal and confinement steel, longitudinal steel ratio, axial load ratio, and confinement steel ratio. A new equation between curvature ductility factor displacement ductility factor with the aspect ratio was proposed by investigation of 21,600 data produced from the selected column models by applying 3 different definitions of yield displacement.

In this study, an interactive analysis considering column-pile interaction is performed on the basis of an equivalent base spring model for supplementing virtual fixed point design of bent pile structures. Through this analytical method, the application of the minimum steel reinforcement ratio of the pile (0.4%) is analyzed by taking into account the major influencing parameters. Furthermore, the limit depth for steel reinforcement ratio is proposed through the relationships between column and pile conditions. To obtain the detailed information, it is found that an interactive analysis is intermediate in theoretical accuracy between the virtual fixed point model analysis and full-modeling analysis. Base on this study, it is also found that the maximum bending moment is located within cracking moment of the pile when material nonlinearity is considered. Therefore, the minimum steel reinforcement ratio is appropriately applicable for the optimal design of bent pile structures. Finally, the limit depth for steel reinforcement ratio ($L_{As=x%}$) is proposed by considering the field measured results. It is shown that the normalized limit depth ratio for steel reinforcement ratio ($L_{As=x%}/L_P$) decreases linearly as the length-diameter ratio of pile ($L_P/D_P$) increases, and then converges at a constant value.

This paper predicts premature failure load of reinforced concrete beams by epoxy-boned partially steel plates. A parametric study is conducted to estimate premature failure load of beams such as with or without stirrups, unplated length ratio, steel and reinforcement ratio, shear span to depth ratio of reinforcement beam. By results of finite element analysis, it turned out that the unplated length played a dominant role in partially plated beams but reinforcement ratio and shear span to depth ratio effected the premature failure load. The approximate expression with regard to combined design variables is compared with experimental results. It shows closely agreement.

This paper is a part of a research program to develop a new design method for reinforced concrete bridge columns under seismic loading. The objectives of this paper are to investigate the relationship between ductility and confinement steel amount and to propose a design equation for reinforced concrete bridge columns. Computer program NARCC was used for parametric study, which was proved to provide good and conservative analytical result especially for deformation capacity and ductility factor compared with test result. A total of 7,200 reinforced concrete columns confined with spirals or perfect circular hoops were selected by combination of variables such as section diameter, aspect ratio, concrete compressive strength, yielding strength of longitudinal and confinement steel, longitudinal steel ratio, axial load ratio, and confinement steel ratio. Based on the parametric study a new design equation for confinement steel amount considering ductility demand was proposed, which can be used in the new seismic design method, i.e. ductility-based seismic design, for RC bridge columns.

In this study, steel fiber-reinforced concrete beams with ordinary steel reinforcements, that are below minimum steel reinforcement amount specified in domestic concrete structure design code, were tested in flexure until failure. Steel reinforcement ratio considered were 44%, 66%, 78% and 100% of the minimum steel reinforcement. Considered steel fiber volume fractions were 0.25%, 0.50%, 0.75% and 1.00%. In results, it is confirmed that steel fibers greatly improve crack performance. Also, the steel fibers contributed to increment in yield load not in ultimate load. But the increment was not greater than the reduction by steel reinforcement reduction. The use of steel fibers in RC beams lightly reinforced below the minimum reinforcement ratio specified design code reduced ductility greatly. Consequently, steel reinforcement ratio in steel fiber-reinforced beams lightly reinforced below the minimum steel reinforcement should be increased in order to enhance proper ductility.

강재의 고강도화는 원자재 부족을 해결할 수 있는 방안으로 친환경적이며 인간의 문명을 지속가능하게 하는 방법으로 인식 되고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 고강도 강재의 횡구속 능력을 평가하기 위해 나선철근을 사용한 횡구속실험을 수행하였다. 실험의 주변수는 단면형상, 철근비로 하고 콘크리트의 강도는 25MPa로 계획하였다. 실험 결과, 단면형상에 따라 원형 실험체가 각형 실험체보다 우수한 횡구속 효과를 나타내는 것을 확인하였다. 또한 횡보강근의 철근비가 증가할수록 횡구속 효과가 증가하는 경향을 나타내었다.
