In this study, an estimation equation was proposed to predict the shear strength of RC interior beam-column connections. The proposed equation considered the effect of both truss and arch mechanisms, while the existing equations in the ACI and AIJ design codes consider only arch mechanism. In addition, the proposed equation estimates the shear strength of RC joints by considering the contribution of the vertical and horizontal steel bars on the effective compressive strength of concrete. The shear strength of RC joints calculated by the proposed equation was compared with the test results of 54 RC joints, which failed in shear before plastic hinges developed at the end of the adjacent beams. The comparison study showed that the proposed equation estimated the strength of the 54 specimens with a mean value of 1.14 and the coefficient of variation of 20%. The proposed equation provides improved prediction compared to those obtained from the equations in the ACI and AIJ design codes.

Carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) sheets are becoming increasingly popular for strengthening deteriorated concrete bridges due to their excellent strength and stiffness-to-weight ratio, corrosion resistance, and convenience of construction work. The purpose of this study is to compare the performance of CFRP-strengthened reinforced concrete (RC) beams and to develop a new design formula. Simple beams with 3 m span length were tested to investigate the effect of reinforcing steel ratio and CFRP-reinforcing ratio on the flexural behavior of strengthened RC beams. The test results were analyzed with the special emphasis on the failure mode, the maximum load, and the strain distribution in the section. It is shown that the strain of the strengthened beams is not linearly distributed in the section. A new design formula based on the non-linear distribution of the strain has been derived and showed that it has a good agreement with the various domestic and foreign test results.

A challenging topic was and still is the failure behavior of concrete beams without shear reinforcement. In spite of substantial experimental and theoretical efforts in the past, the mechanism of shear failure is not entirely understood. ALWAC is of importance to the current construction industry. Most of present concrete research focuses on high performance concrete, by which in meant a cost effective material that satisfies demanding performance requirements, including durability. The advantages of ALWAC are its reduced mass and improved thermal and acoustic insulation properties, while maintaining adequate strength. In spite of these advantages, its ultimate failure behavior has not been well defined for adequate design process. This paper will investigate mainly the shear behavior of reinforced ALWAC beam without web reinforcements numerically with experimental evidences.

Domestic area of most be happened chloride deicer damage. Because daily mean temperature is below 0$^{\circ}C$ from the area of domestic most. Use of deicing chemicals has been and will continue to be a major part of concrete structure in the highway. Chloride-containing chemicals such as calcium chloride or rock salt are main deicers for the road. Extensive use of chloride deicers is, however, not only the source of substantial cost penalties due to their corrosive action and ability to deterioration roadway surface materials but also the source of environmental damages.

Existing tests results have shown that confining the concrete compression region with closed stirrups improves the ductility and load-carrying capacity of beams. However, only few researchers have attempted to utilize the beneficial effects of the presence of these stirrups in design. This paper presents the result of experimental studies on the load-deflection behavior and the strengthening effect of laterally confined structural high-strength concrete beam members in which confinement stirrups have been introduced into the compression regions. Fifteen tests were conducted on full-scale beam specimens having concrete compressive strength of 41 MPa and 61 MPa. Different spacing of stirrups(0.25∼1.0d) and amount of tension steel($0.55{\sim}0.7{\rho}_b$) as major variables were investigated. And also, this study present an appropriate shear equation for decision of ultimate failure modes of high-strength concrete beams according to stirrup spacing. The equation is based on interaction between shear strength and displacement ductility. Prediction of failure mode from presented method and comparison with test results are also presenteded

The high strength materials have been more widely used in a large reinforced concrete structures. It is known that the use of high strength material in RC structures give the benefits of the mechanical and durable properties, but the ductility decreases with an increase in the strength of the materials. In the design of a reinforced concrete beam, both the flexural strength and ductility need to be considered. So, it is necessary to assess accurately the ductility of the beam with high strength materials in order to ensure the ductility requirement in design. In this study, the effects of the material strength on the flexural behavior and curvature ductility factor of reinforcement concrete beam sections with various reinforcement conditions have been evaluated and a newly prediction formula for curvature ductility factor of RC beam has been developed considering the stress of compression reinforcement at ultimate state. The proposed predictions for the curvature ductility factor which is applicable to both singly and doubly reinforced concrete beam are verified by comparisons with other prediction formulas and the proposed formula offers fairly accurate within 9% error and consistent predictions for curvature ductility factor of reinforced concrete beam.

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.

본 연구는 무근 폴리에스터 폴리머 콘크리트보의 휨피로 거동을 구명키 위한 것으로서 초기균열깊이와 높이의 비 (a/h)를 0, 0.2, 0.4로 하고 응력수준을 45%, 55%, 65%로 하여 피로 시험을 실시한 것이다. 그 결과 초기균열깊이가 커질수록 피로수명이 짧아졌으며, 피로수명비에 따른 휨인장변형도는 균열깊이가 클수록 작아졌다. 또한 휨탄성계수는 피로수명비 0.2에서 0.6정도까지는 선형적인 변화를 보였으나, 초기와 말기에는 비선형적인 변화를 보여주었다. 그리고 응력수준과 균열깊이가 커질수록 취성적인 성질이 더 크게 나타남을 알 수 있었다.

유한요소법을 바탕으로 한 프리스트레스트 콘크리트 평면 보-기둥 구조의 후좌굴 거동에 대한 수직해석법을 제시하였다. 콘크리트의 균열, 변형연화 및 PS강재의 항복과 같은 재료 비선형성을 고려하였다. 좌굴 거동 연구에 필수적 요소인 기하학적 비선형성을 Updated Lagraugian Formulation에 의하여고려하였다. 현재의 재료성질 및 변형상태에 부합하는 단분형 평형방정식을 수립하고 이것을 불평형 가중보정에 의한 Newton-Raphson 반복법으로 푼다. 좌굴후 발생하는 하중변형 곡선의 하련부는 비선형 평형 방정식의 해법중 일반적으로 많이 사용되는 가중 단분법이 아니라 변위단분법을 사용함으로써 올바르게 추적한다. 요소내의 재료성질변화는 층적분법에 의하여 고려한다. 본 논문에서는 콘크리트 균열에 의한 중립축이동의 영향을 정확히 고려하기 위하여 추가적으로 축방향변위에 대한 내부자유도를 설정하였다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 방법의 정당성과 응용성을 나타내 보일 수 있는 수직해석 예제를 제시하였다.

건물이 초고층화됨에 따라 고강도 콘크리트를 구조물에 적용하고 있으며 내화 시 폭열 예방을 위해서 고강도 콘크리트에 섬유를 첨가하는 경우도 있다. 초고층 구조물 합성부재에서 강재보와 콘크리트 슬래브의 합성작용을 위해서는 전단스터드를 필요로 하게 된다. 오늘날 제시된 전단스터드 설계식은 일반강도 콘크리트 실험에 의해 제시되었고 전단스터드는 항복강도에만 제한되는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 본 논문은 초고층 건물에 적합한 고강도콘크리트를 기존 제안식으로 비교 분석하고 새로운 설계식의 필요성을 확인하며 ANSYS 모델링을 통한 전단스터드의 거동을 분석하는데 그 목적이 있다.
