This research studies the behavior of the FRP-concrete interface subjected to two environmental substances. Frist is to investigate the behavior by the application of different bonding materials at the interface between FRP and concrete, second is to understand a long-term performance at the interface by Freeze-thaw actions. The parameters considered in this research are the maximum bonding strength and the effective bonding length at the FRP-concrete interface. In the first experimental phase, three types of specimens are fabricated and tested considering the number of applied bonding materials and the Freeze-thaw tests are performed to evaluate the behavior of the interface in the cycle range of 0 to 300 cycles. Finally, it is known that there is a 5~7% difference of the effective bonding length between applied bonding materials and the values for the maximum stress and the effective length under Freeze-thaw action are varied randomly as the freeze-thaw cycle is increased even though initial reduction of their capacities are occurred.

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.

To examine adequacy of existing multi-layer elastic analysis of layer interface conditions, this study compared outputs of finite element analysis and multi-layer elastic analysis as vertical load was applied to the surface of asphalt pavements. Structural pavement analysis considering influence of a horizontal load was also carried out in order to simulate passing vehicle loads under various interface conditions using ABAQUS, a three dimensional finite element program. Pavement performance depending on interface conditions was quantitatively evaluated and fundamental study of layer interface effect was performed in this study. As results of the study, if only vertical load is applied, subdivision of either fully bonded or fully unbonded is enough to indicate interface condition. On the other hand, when horizontal load is applied with vertical load, pavement behavior and performance are greatly changed with respect to layer interface condition.

This paper studies the lateral response of reinforced concrete columns strengthened with carbon fiber reinforced polymer sheet (CFRP) subjected to static loading analytically by comparing with experimental results. For interface behavior between RC columns and CFRP, and interface element in FEM was applied and verified its performance by analyzing lateral behavior of RC columns strengthened with CFRP. The comparison shows that the proposed analytical method is effective for nonlinear analysis of RC columns strengthened CFRP.

이 연구는 지진 시 철근콘크리트 교각의 비탄성 거동 및 연성능력을 해석적으로 파악하는데 그 목적이 있다. 재료적 비선형성에 대해서는 균열 콘크리트에 대한 인장, 압축, 전단모델과 콘크리트 속에 있는 철근 모델을 조합하여 고려하였다. 이에 대한 콘크리트의 균열 모델로서의 분산균열모델을 사용하였다. 두께가 서로 다른 부재간의 접합부에 단면강성이 급변하기 때문에 생기는 국소적인 불연속변형을 고려하기 위한 경계면 요소를 도입하였다. 또한, 축방향철근의 유무 및 그 양 등에 따른 구속효과를 적절히 표현할 수 있는 해석 모델을 개발하였다. 본 연구에서는 철근콘크리트 교각의 비탄성 거동 및 연성 능력의 파악을 위해 제안한 해석기법을 신뢰성 있는 연구자의 실험결과와 비교하여 그 타당성을 검증하였다.

Concrete track on railway bridges should be designed to effectively respond to the movement of the superstructure of the bridge. In the design procedure, shear keys are generally placed on the protection concrete layer (PCL) before casting the concrete track so the shear force due to slip between the concrete track and the bridge super-structure can be transferred. In this paper, a nonlinear structural analysis procedure that considers the construction joint has been developed to predict the shear behavior of a shear key. With the developed analysis procedure, it was possible to predict the shear force-shear slip response at the construction joint in a shear key by considering the friction of concrete surface and the dowel action of the rebars. The analysis results showed good agreement with the test results for 4 specimens.

In designing a gravity-type anchorage of earth-anchored suspension bridge, the contact friction between a blasted rock mass and the concrete anchorage plays a key role in the stability of the entire anchorage. Therefore, it is vital to understand the shear behavior of the interface between the blasted rock mass and concrete. In this study, a portable 3D LiDAR scanner was utilized to scan the blasted bottom surfaces, and rock surface roughness was quantitatively analyzed from the scanned profiles to apply to 3D FEM modelling. In addition, based on the 3D FEM model, a three-dimensional dynamic fracture process analysis (DFPA-3D) technique was applied to study on the shear behavior of the interface between blasted rock and concrete through direct shear tests, which was analyzed under constant normal load (CNL). The effects of normal stress and the joint roughness on shear failure behavior are also analyzed.

This paper presents an analytical prediction of the fatigue behavior of reinforced concrete bridge piers under earthquake. Material nonlinearity is taken into account by comprising tensile, compressive and shear models of cracked concrete and a model of reinforcing steel. The smeared crack approach is incorporated. In boundary plane at which each member with different thickness is connected, local discontinuous deformation due to the abrupt change in their stiffness can be taken into account by introducing interface element. The effect of number of load reversals with the same displacement amplitude has been also taken into account to model the reinforcing steel. The proposed numerical method for fatigue behavior of reinforced concrete bridge piers under earthquake will be verified by comparison with reliable experimental results.

콘크리트내에 짧은 길이를 갖고 임의의 방향으로 배향된 강섬유는 콘크리트가 인장응력을 받을 때 일반콘크리트에 비하여 인장강도와 연성을 증가시키며 이는 콘크리트모체내 강섬유의 균열억제메카니즘에 기인한다. 본연구에서는 기존의 각기다른 spacing 개념들에 의하여 SFRC의 인장강도를 예측하고 정확한도를 실험치와 비교하여 평가하였는데 시험체의 경계조건 및 타설시의 진동으로 인한 콘크리트내 강섬유의 재향성을 고려한 단위면적당 섬유수(N1)개념이 실행결과와 가장 좋은 상관관계를 나타내었다. 또한 SFRC의 강도후 영역에 대한 이론적인 해석이 고려되었으며 본 해석은 시험체의 경계조건, 진동효과, 콘크리트모체와 강섬유의 강섬유의 접촉면의 비선형부착특성 고려 및 특히 위험단면에서 매입길이가 다른 각 강섬유의 적합조건을 고려하였다.
