Reinforced concrete (RC) structures strengthened with FRP materials would cause the loss of the reinforcing effect and the sudden failure of the structure due to the debonding of FRP. The debonding fracture strength of the FRP-strengthened concrete structures has been evaluated using the same strength method as applied in RC structures based on the debonding strain of FRP. However, the values of the FRP debonding strain are different according to design guidelines. Thus, this study carried out an experimental study on RC beams reinforced with GFRP and evaluated the debonding fracture strength of the strengthened beams from each design guideline. Since the debonding failure occurs prior to reaching the ultimate value of concrete compressive strain, this study accounts for the nonlinear stress distribution of concrete. This study also proposed equations that can evaluate the debonding strength of GFRP-strengthened RC beams with similar safety to the ultimate flexural strength of non-strengthened RC beams.

일반적으로 피로파괴의 사고원인으로는 무적합한 설계재질의 불량, 공작 및 기계조작의 미스등이 있다. 어떤 기계에 대한 파괴원인규명이 확실할 경우에는 그 대책도 쉽게 강구되지만, 원인규명이 불확실한 경우에는 매우 어렵게 된다. 만일 어떤 기계에 대하여 사고의 원인이 될만한 제인자들 에 대한 보완이 잘되어 있다고 하더라도 파괴가 일어 났다고 하자, 그러면 설계자는 안전설계를 하였는가또는 파괴에 대한 대책을 어떻게 강구하는게 좋을 것인가 하는 문제로서 고심하게 된다. 이러한 경우, 먼저 생각할 수 있는 것은 사용재료의 선택 및 가공 또는 열처리가 제대로 되었다 고 하더라도 피로강도에는 Scattering현상이 발생한다는 것을 고려하는 것이 좋겠다. 이러한 경우 설계자는 Scattering을 충분히 고려하여 파괴가 일어나지 않는 설계를 할 필요가 있고, 설계개선 에 따라서 미지의 Scattering을 보완할 수 있는 문제를 생각할 수 있어야 할 것이다. 그렇기 때 문에 설계자는 특히 피로강도에 관한 충분한 지식을 가지고 강도에 대한 Scattering에 대해서도 경험을 쌓고 새로운 자료 에 관심을 기울려 피로파괴방지에 노력하는 것이 좋을 것이다. 따라서 본 원고에서는 독자 제현께서 이미 알고 있으리라 믿어지는 내용을 간추려 보기로 하였고, 내용 별로 는 (1) 설계의 본찰, (2) 재료의 선택과 열처리, (3) 피로지동에 영향을 주는 열처리의 제인 지, (4) 피로파괴와 설계, (5) 안전설계, (6) 신뢰성과 안전성등에 대하여 기술하여 보겠다.

Recently the use of concrete post-installed set anchors has been increasing because this constructing method is flexible and easy to attach or fix structural members when we repair, reinforce, or remodel a concrete structures. Depending on the shear strength of steel, the strength of concrete, edge distance and anchor interval, etc, the anchor loaded in shearing exhibits various failure modes such as steel failure, concrete failure, concrete pryout. In this study, the objective is to investigate the effects of the variations like anchor embedment depth, anchor interval, edge distance and concrete strength on the shear failure behavior of post-installed concrete set anchor embedded in concrete. The results of embedment depth experiments show that concrete strength has much effection on the shallow embedment depth. Steel failure occur to all results of the anchor interval experiments, but concrete is failed when edge distance experiments that less than the embedment depth. Through the comparision of the same parameters experiments results show that as strong as concrete strength are the displacement results are small.

Surimi yields from acid and alkaline processing of 5 fishes were compared to those from conventional processing Effect of sarcoplasmic protein and NaCl on heating gel from acid and alkaline surimi were also investigated by punch test and color. Yield of alkaline surimi was higher than that of conventional surimi. However, the breaking force, deformation and whiteness of heating gel from alkaline surimi were lower than those of heating gel from conventional surimi. The sarcoplasmic protein increased a breaking force and a deformation of gel. A breaking force was decreased, but deformation not significantly with NaCl concentration. Myosin heavy chain (MHC) and actin were greatly degraded in acid processing. Alkaline process for surimi is a valuable way of increasing the utilization of frozen and pelagic fishes, and making kamaboko-type products.

This paper deals with the fracture simulation of UHPFRC girder with the interface type model. Based on the existing numerical simulation of quasi-brittle fracture in normal strength concrete, constitutive modeling for UHPFRC I-girder has been improved by including a tensile hardening at the failure surface. The finite element formulation is based on a triangular unit, constructed from constant strain triangles, with nodes along its sides and neither at the vertex nor the center of the unit. Fracture is simulated through a hardening/softening fracture constitutive law in tension, a softening fracture constitutive law in shear as well as in compression at the boundary nodes, with the material within the triangular unit remaining linear elastic. LCP is used to formulate the path-dependent hardening-softening behavior in non-holonomic rate form and a mathematical programming algorithm is employed to solve the LCP. The piece-wise linear inelastic yielding-failure/failure surface is modeled with two compressive caps, two Mohr-Coulomb failure surfaces, a tensile yielding surface and a tensile failure surface. The comparison between test results and numerical results indicates this method effectively simulates the deformation and failure of specimen.

전기절연재의 구조재로 많이 사용되고 있는 FRP(fiber reinforced plastics)는 열경화성 수지를 접착성 결합제(binder)로 하고 고강도 섬유를 보강재로 한 복합재료로서 기계적, 화학적, 전기적 특성이 매우 우수하다. FRP의 기계적 강도는 유리섬유에 의존 하고 있으므로 유리섬유의 방향과 힘을 가하는 방향에 따라서 그 강도의 차이는 매우 크게 나타난다. 본 연구에서는 섬유의 배향에 따른 강도의 변화를 이해하기 위하여 시편을 제작하여 압축강도를 측정하고 압축강도와 응력의 분포를 유한요소법으로 시뮬레이션하였다. FRP rod에 압축응력이 가해졌을 때 섬유의 배향에 따른 파괴강도와 응력의 분포를 유한요소법을 이용하여 시뮬레이션하였고 모델링에는 3-D Shell과 3-D Brick 요소를 사용하였다. 제작된 시편의 강도특성과 시뮬레이션을 통한 응력의 분포를 서로 비교하여 시편의 파괴에 미치는 응력을 고찰하였다.

An experimental program was carried out to investigate the mechanical properties of high-strength concrete. High-strength concrete with compressive strengths of 80 to 120 MPa was tested. Test results are presented regarding effect of water-binder ratio on compressive strength and compressive strength gain. In addition, the effect of curing methods on compressive strength, elastic modulus, splitting tensile strength, and modulus of rupture is investigated. Test results of elastic modulus, splitting tensile strength, and modulus of rupture are compared with predictions from the current design recommendations. Predictions of elastic modulus by using KCI recommendation has good agreement with test results. However, predictions of modulus of rupture by using KCI recommendation underestimate the test results. ACI 363R recommendations predict well test results of splitting tensile strength and modulus of rupture. ACI 363R recommendations for predicting splitting tensile strength and modulus of rupture can be used for high-strength concrete with compressive strengths up to 120 MPa.

To avoid abrupt torsional failure due to concrete crushing before yielding of torsional reinforcement and control the diagonal crack width, design codes specify the limitations on the yield strength of torsional reinforcement of RC members. In 2012, Korean Concrete Institute design code increased the allowable maximum yield strength of torsional reinforcement from 400 MPa to 500 MPa based on the analytical and experimental research results. Although there are many studies regarding the shear behavior of RC members with high strength stirrups, limited studies of the RC members regarding the yield strength of torsional reinforcement are available. In this study, twelve RC beams having different yield strength of torsional reinforcement and compressive strength of concrete were tested. The experimental test results indicated that the torsional failure modes of RC beams were influenced by the yield strength of torsional reinforcement and the compressive strength of concrete. The test beams with normal strength torsional reinforcement showed torsional tension failure, while the test beams with high strength torsional reinforcement greater than 480 MPa showed torsional compression failure. Therefore, additional analytical and experimental works on the RC members subjected to torsion, especially the beams with high strength torsional reinforcement, are needed to find an allowable maximum yield strength of torsional reinforcement.

Rail road slope can be fatted because of existence of unexpected soft subsoil. Purpose of this study is verifying the cause of rail road slope failure and determination of soil strength for remedy. Drilling some boreholes, cone penetration test and field vane test were executed in order to find out the cause of slope failure. In addition, laboratory test was conducted in order to determine soil strength of soft soil sampled as undisturbed state. As a result of both the in-situ and the laboratory tests, the cause of slope failure is thought to be propagation of failure zone by progressive rupture of overconsolidated clay Soft soil strength was determined through back analysis of the failed slope.

One of the most important design procedures for large sized structures is the evaluation of fracture strength against fatigue and brittle fractures threatening to occur in their steel members. In this paper, the safety assessment based upon the knowledge about the fracturing characteristics of such ship structures was discussed, which can be estimated from such phenomena as fatigue crack propagation and brittle fractures, as obtained by employing fracture mechanics at the basic design stage. Model tests with a partial structure specimen of full size was carried out to authenticate a question as to whether or not the fracturing characteristics of such sophisticated structures could be estimated with precision from ordinary scale specimen tests, It was shown that the behviour of fatigue crack growth of large sized structures in this study could be predicted from the results of ordinary scale specimen test.
