Recently, the repair and reinforcement of deteriorated concrete buildings has attracted much interest. In order to accurately evaluate the safety of these existing structures, it is essential to know the strength of the concrete that they are composed of. The core drilling method is considered to be the most effective and common method of assessing the compressive strength of concrete. In general, the regulations do not permit the core specimens within reinforcing bars to be used to assess the strength of the concrete, even if the core specimens contain reinforcing bars in some cases. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of the reinforcement arrangement on the compressive strength of concrete, and to propose the quantitative specific standard of strength for core specimens containing reinforcements, in order to facilitate their safe inspection by repair or retrofit companies who want to evaluate the soundness of the structures. To complete this research, one type of cylinder specimen without reinforcement and 14 types of specimens with reinforcement arrangements were prepared and their compressive strength evaluated. It was found that the strength of the cylinders with reinforcement volumes of up to $50cm^3$ (about 4-ϕ13mm) was more than 80% of that of the cylinders without any reinforcement.

Chloride attack, one of the major deterioration phenomena in RC(Reinforced Concrete) structure, causes corrosion of reinforcement, and this leads degradation of serviceability and structural problems. The application of silicate based impregnant to concrete surface are known for excellent constructability and cost-benefit for the maintenance of RC structure. In the work, the compressive strength and resistance of chloride diffusion for concrete were evaluated after improving property of concrete surface through two types of silicate based impregnant. Furthermore, based on the previous research and the result from the work, service life analysis was performed. After impregnating of silicate, strength and resistance of chloride diffusion were remarkably improved, and the service life increase to 159% for silicate A impregnation and 304% for silicate B impregnation, respectively.

화재는 콘크리트 구조물의 역학적 특성에 치명적 손상을 일으켜 건축물의 안전성을 급격하게 감소시킬 수 있다. 특히 고강도콘크리트는 폭렬이 발생하여 심각한 단면 손실과 노출된 철근으로 인하여 건축물의 안전성에 치명적인 영향을 미친다. 이러한 폭렬에 대하여 다양한 연구가 진행되고 있지만, 폭렬의 발생원인은 명백하게 밝혀지진 않았다. 이에 본 연구는 콘크리트의 함수율과 열응력이 폭렬에 미치는 영향을 분석하여 폭렬로부터 구조물의 안전성을 확보하기 위한 기초 자료를 제시하였다.

The purpose of this study is to attempt to use broken red brick, which is categorized as impurities of circular aggregate to thick aggregate, as a replacement for concrete. Through the material test and performance test for each mixing rate of the broken red brick (0%, 30%, 60%), the following conclusion was reached by studying the material and structural characteristics of circular aggregate to the concrete. Even though broken red brick, which is categorized as impurities of circular aggregate, is mixed 30% with normal rubble, the compression strength, intensity strength, and curving strength was similar to that of concrete that uses normal rubble. Therefore, concrete beam made with broken red brick can be applied to the real construction field. Also, the study regarding the cutting test of the concrete that uses broken red brick and regarding applying and mixing admixture that can increase the ductility factor will be required in the future.

The use of FRP bar as reinforced concrete beams is considered as one of the most prominent solution that may overcome the corrosion of reinforcing steel bars. However, in the case of FRP reinforced concrete, both the reinforcing and the reinforced materials are brittle. For this reason, ductility of structures with FRP reinforcement is much less than that of structures with steel reinforcements. In this study, a method has been suggested to provide a meaningful quantification of ductility for concrete beams reinforced with FRP bars. This paper shows which the confinement to the compression concrete by the spiral can increase the ductility of FRP over-reinforced concrete beams.

지진에 대한 건축물의 확률적 성능평가에 대해서는 지진하중에 대한 건축물의 손상확률 또는 파괴확률을 나타내는 지진취약도 함수를 작성하여 대상 건축물에 대한 지진위험도를 평가하는 방법을 이용하고 있으며 이에 대한 많은 연구가 이루어지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 지진하중과 구조물 재료특성의 불확실성을 고려하고 대상 건축물의 지진취약도 해석을 통하여 비내력벽의 유무에 따른 건축물의 지진거동 및 내진성능을 평가하였다. 비내력벽을 보편화된 모형화 방법인 등가의 대각 압축 스트럿으로 고려하여 비내력벽의 유무에 따른 저층 철근콘크리트 건축물을 모형화하였으며 지진하중의 강도는 유효최대지반가속도를 이용하여 각 건축물에 대하여 지진취약도를 작성하였다. 취약도해석 결과로 연약층을 가지고 있는 건축물의 경우는 손상확률이 골조만 있는 경우보다 크며 동일한 해석모델의 경우에도 해석방법에 따라서 취약도 곡선의 형태가 다름을 알 수 있었다.

When reinforced concrete is subjected to high temperature as in fire, there is deterioration in its properties of particular importance are loss in compressive strength, cracking and spalling of concrete, destruction of the bond between the cement paste and the aggregates and the gradual deterioration of the hardend cement paste. Assessment of fire-damaged concrete usually starts with visual observation of color change, cracking and spalling of the surface. In this paper, it was reported the trends of research and practical use on the Explosive Spalling Properties and Performance Based of Structural Design of the High-Strength Concrete.

In this study, the effect of epoxy mortar panel as the shear strengthening material of reinforced concrete beam is investigated by loading test. The main variables are the kind of strengthening material, the amount of reinforcement and the spacing of CFS(Carbon Fiber Sheet) stirrups. The design method to use epoxy mortar panel as shear strengthening of reinforced concrete beam took the shear capacity as the form of the sum of $V_c$, $V_s$, $V_{sheet}$ and $V_p$. By making a comparison between the values calculated by the proposed shear strength prediction formula and those from the loading test results, the mean value was 1.10 and the standard deviation was 8.16%.
