The major objective of this study is to investigate experimentally the shear strengthening effect of carbon fiber sheets upon reinforced concrete deep beam and shear failure behavior variation of reinforced concrete deep beam strengthened by carbon fiber sheets. Tests are carried out with 6 specimens were shear failure at first loading tests, and with parameters including the types of shear strengthening of carbon fiber sheets (I type, S type, U type), and plies of sheets (2 ply and 1 ply). From the results of test, analyzed load-deflection of midspan, strain variation of main bars and transverse reinforcement, maximum load capacity of strengthened specimens, and compared with the previous test results.

Repair and Reinforcement are subjected change to increasing of remodelling. The usage of carbon fiber sheets is increasing for the strengthening of reinforce concrete structures. Therefore experimental and analytical studies are carry out to investigate the flexural behaviors of the strengthened RC structures by the external bonding of the new reinforcement method. Also the aim of this study is to investigate reinforcing method of FRP panel deal with fatigue loading through experiments.

Recently, strengthening of structural members by adhesion of steel plate or fiber sheets is generally used. Particularly, the Carbon Fiber Sheets (CFS) is widely used. Rut, the strengthening effect of the CFS is not clearly define yet. Therefore, this paper is designed to evaluate the effectiveness of CFS methods by analyzing previous studies in statistics. According to the results, the maximum load carrying capacity is increased up to 0.16 times when the reinforced concrete beams were strengthened by CFS which is standard specimens. The number of sheets made some effect on the strength while, the other parameters influenced the ductile capacity.

Most of existing tunnels in Korea have structural and material defects, such as lack of the thickness in the crown and presence of an opening behind thie lining as a result of its construction. In Japan, it is said that carbon fiver sheet is very attractive for the upgrading damaged tunnel due to its good tensile strength, handability and resistance to corrosion. This report is the summary of the applicability of continous carbon fiber sheet for a repair and reiforcement of existing tummel located in Masan. It is the aim of this study to analyze the site data related to consturcion method used carbon fiber sheet.

An experimental investigation was conducted to examine the feasibility of Carbon Fiber Sheet(CFS), a kind of high strength fiber, for a repair and reinforcement method of concrete structures. The experimental program included tests of flexural beams different in wrapping method and amount of CFS. The beams were subjected to monotonic loading. Although the flexural strength for concrete members increases with wrapping methods of CFS., the reduction factor due to the distribution, amount bond of CFS should be completely examined. This study approached the effectiveness and application of CFS, along with reinforcement effects of CFS on reinforced concrete beams through tests. Test results indicated that the increase in the number of CFS layer caused the increase in strength of beams in strength.

In this study, new bond-slip model is proposed. The proposed bond-slip model which has bilinear ascending regions and exponential descending region by modifying the conventional bilinear bond-slip model has been verified. Then, result by finite element analyses using interface element implemented with bond-slip model compared well with those of existing experiment researches on bond-slip models. It is shown that bond strength and effective bond length predicted by the bond-slip model and finite element analysis is good agreement with those of pull tests.

In most cases, quantity of reinforcement is determined without regard to the difference of initial strain, and status of damages when calculated the strengthening in flexure at beams. Thus, the purpose of this study is to investigate the flexural strengthening efficiency and behavior of RC beams strengthened with carbon fiber sheets(CFS) considering different status of damages. in this paper, a nonlinear analysis program considering rip-off strength and residual stress of steel bars and concrete in different status of damages is developed to predict the flexural behavior of CFS strengthened beams. Rip-off strength equation is obtained by modifying moment of inertia in the Robert's equation. And conformed developed nonlinear analysis program in variable of strengthening CFS amount and status of damages(initial, case1, case2, case3) and tension reinforcement ratio(0.2~1.0%).

This study investigates the structural behavior of cracked or uncracked RC columns retrofitted with CFS and evaluates the shear retrofit performance through experiment. Experimental works were conducted for sixth specimens varied in the adhesion method of CFS, the ratio of shear reinforcement bar, and the existence of crack before retrofitting. Throughout cyclic test, the strength, stiffness, failure modes, and ductility are discussed. The test results show that the retrofitting method with CFS improve the shear strength and ductility. The crack width below 2mm, occurred before retrofitting, didn't reduce the shear strengthening effect.

Every structure has the expected life span of its own and it has to be rebuilt. New buildings were preferred and put value a quantitative spread of apartment houses because of the rapid growth of national economy. Therefore, the apartment houses were not taken into consideration about maintenances. Carbon fiber sheet is widely used to strengthen old structural members but it is very rarely applied to a construction field for apartment houses. The purpose of this study is to develop effective strengthening methods for reinforced concrete columns using carbon fiber sheets. Eight reinforced concrete column specimens confined by carbon fiber sheet of uniaxial direction were tested using 10,000kN universal testing machine (UTM).
