Fiber is an important ingredient in fiber-reinforced cement composite (FRCC) which can control fracture of cement composite by bridging action. In compliance with the action of the fiber and the aggregate size, it also showed a different failure mechanism. For practical application, it is needed to investigate the fracture behavior of the FRCC and to understand the micro-mechanism of cement matrix with reinforcing fiber. In order to evaluate a characteristics of fracture process in the FRCC, acoustic emission (AE) technique was used for the analysis and evaluation of FRCC damage by acoustic emission under flexural and cyclic compressive loadings. The AE signals were monitored by AMSY4 AE instrument during the entire loading period. The specimens are reinforced with 0, 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0% (by volume) Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) fiber. The test results showed that the damage progress of the FRCC was characteristic for the fiber replacement ratio. As a result of analyzing the felicity ratio (FR) values, it is shown that this values can be used for evaluating the degree of FRCC damage. On the whole the felicity ratio values of FRCC are shown between 0.4 and 1.1. And, the AE kaiser effect was shown in the all FRCC specimen. In addition, the damage behavior and the microscopic fracture process of the FRCC are evaluated using the AE parameters, such as calm ratio, b-value and felicity ratio. The purpose of this reserch was to advance the state of knowledge regarding the applicability of acoustic emission as an evaluation method for FRCC.

Methods of damage detection are used non-destructive test in concrete structures. These are using various sensors, but the most of damage detections are used a visual angle of human. Problems of crack damage detection are occurred to directions and boundary conditions of steel bars using accelerometer in concrete element. In this study, fundamental studies for estimation using 3 axial type of accelerometer and electric resistance property of thermocouple sensors are discussed estimation to effect of arranged steel bars and damage from low strength when they are oscillated elastic wave in concrete specimen.

In this study, the damage detection method is proposed for the rotational stiffness of connections in steel moment frames by using artificial neural network(ANN). The flexural moment of columns, natural frequencies, modeshapes are used for the input layer in ANN while the damage index, that signify the damage level, is used for the output layer in ANN. The 5-story steel moment frame as an example structure is used to generate the train and test data. Total number of damage scenarios considered is 829. From the results of application, it is shown that the proposed method can accurately estimate the location and level of damages.

In this paper, various influence factors on the impact-echo test which is an effective method in characterizing defects such as such as the delamination in the concrete structures were studied. The side to thickness ratio(a/h), the relative position of impacting and sensing points over the delamination that have great effects on the flexural and impact-echo(thickness) modes were investigated and examined by the parametric finite element analysis. As a result, the flexural modes dominate in the case of a/h > 2 and the thickness mode was more evident when a/h < 2. With regard to the relative position of impact source and sensing point to the defect, the flexural modes dominate even when either the loading or sensing point was over the delamination defect. However, the thickness mode prevails when both the impacting and sensing points are over the solid region beyond the delamination area.

In the present study, nonlinear earthquake analysis was carried out for a steel girder bridge that had been damaged by the 1995 Kobe earthquake. For such analysis, the use of hysteretic models describing flexure-axial and shear-axial interaction was suggested. The models were incorporated into a structural analysis program in terms of the joint elements representing hinge models, and then a simplified analysis scheme using the hinge models was employed for bridge piers. The analytical predictions of the flexure-axial interactive hinge model show a good correlation with those of the detailed fiber element model. In addition, the analytical predictions of the flexure-shear-axial interactive hinge model enable a displacement component to be separately captured. It is thus recognized that the present study can be a useful scheme for the healthy evaluation of the global displacement performance of piers subjected to earthquake excitation.

구조적으로 손상을 입은 구조물들에 대한 보강방법으로 강판, 카본쉬트, 아라미드섬유쉬트 등을 이용한 접착공법이 최근 들어 많이 사용되고 있으며 그 중 가장 널리 Tm이는 방법은 강판접착공법이다. 강판접착공법에 대해서는 많은 연구가 진행되어 오고 있으나, 보의 구조적 거동에 영향을 미치는 다양한 인자들의 영향이나 강성, 파괴양상등에 미치는 영향들에 대해서는 체계적인 평가가 이루어지지 않은 실정이며 특히 강판접착공법에서 파괴에 큰 영향을 미치는 박리하중에 대한 연구는 미흡한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 일련의 철근콘크리트보부재를 대상으로 하여 주요실험변수로 선행하중의 크기, 강판의길이, 강판의 두께, 앵커볼트의 간격과 유무, 강판의 층수, 측면보강높이를 실험변수로 하여, 휨인장에 대해 강판잡착공법을 적용하여 포괄적인 실험을 수행하였다. 3등분점하중법의 실험결과를 이용하여 처짐, 인장 및 압축 철근의 변형도, 콘크리트와 강판의 변형도를 분석하였고, 이를 토대로 파괴양상과 파괴하중을 분석하였다.

This paper explores the structural application of an expansive SHCC to improve the crack-damage properties of RC flexural members. The results of test on four simply supported slabs are described. The effect of the type of SHCC (Non-and expansive SHCC) and thickness of SHCC layer (10 and 20mm) on the ultimate flexural load, first crack load, crack width and spacing, and the load-deflection relationship of one-way slabs was investigated.

The creep strain of the compression zone of concrete beams subjected to cyclic loading should be a significant factor in increasing strain and deflections. An analytical model which is similar to a previous one is presented to predict the increase in cyclic creep strain and the damage using the properties of the constituent materials: concrete and steel. The analytical expressions are compared with our experimental data. The effect of concrete-creep is accounted by the term En, Icr,n, and Mcr,n. In this study, it is proved that cyclic creep exponents 'n' in Cyclic Creep Model, according to the parameters -strength, range of stress- have the various values. It is hoped that with the availability of more experimental data and better understanding of some of the complex behavior, the model could be further improved.

최근 들어 구조물을 보강하는 방법으로 강판 또는 섬유쉬트를 외부에 부착시키는 공법이 많이 사용되고 있다. 섬유쉬트 중에서 가장 널리 사용되는 것은 탄소섬유쉬트이지만, 성능면에서 뒤지지 않고 가격면에서는 오히려 유리한 아라미드섬유쉬트에 관한 연구는 전무한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 아라미드섬유쉬트로 휨보강한 RC보의 파괴양상 및 강도성능, 변형성능을조사하고, 여섯 개의 보강변수에 대한 보강효과를 조사하였다. 인장철근비, 보강길이, 보강겹수, 앵커볼트 정착 유무가 각각 다른 16개의 실험체와 밑면 마감처리 및 부재손상 여부가 다른 2개의 실험체, 그리고 이들 보강 실험체의 비교 근거가 되는 비보강 실험체 2개를 실험하여 그 특성을 연구하였다. 실험결과, 보강성능과 파괴양상에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 변수는 보강길이로 나타났다. 보강겹수도 어느 정도의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으나 그외 다른 변수들의 영향은 미비한 것으로 판단된다.

In this study, static displacement sensors using lead switches are bonded on concrete beams and RC beams, and monitoring systems to crack damages are studied using radio frequency. If load is received on the center of flexible specimens, bonded static displacement sensors will be destroyed, and these become to send signals of damages at radio frequency system connected with static displacement sensors. Study of these functional building elements will be protected from external factors by unusual weather, earthquake, etc, in RC buildings and structures.
