A strain rate-dependent element model was used to study the loading rate-sensitivity of R/C beams and columns with different design factors. Conclusions were derived regarding the differences between the element axial/flexural performance under impulsive and quasi-static loads. Practical design formalas for predicting the loading rate-dependent axial and flexural strengths of R/C elements were also suggested.

건설 분야에서 FRP(Fiber Reinforced Polymers) 부재는 기존의 건설부재에 비해 많은 장점을 가지고 있어 여러 분야에서 연구 및 개발이 이루어지고 있다. 그중 FRP 재료를 이용한 교량 부재들이 해외 뿐만 아니라 국내에서도 연구되고 있으며, FRP 인장재 및 바닥판은 연구 및 개발이 완료돼 현재 시공 중에 있고 FRP 휨 부재 또한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 이런 FRP 부재는 외부 환경에 그대로 노출됨으로써, 온도 등의 주위 환경의 변화에 많은 영향을 받게 되며, 특히 높은 온도에 취약한 성질을 가지고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 FRP 부재의 온도에 따른 역학적 특성을 파악하기위한 실험적 연구로써, $-21^{\circ}C$, $100^{\circ}C$, $200^{\circ}C$에 각각 1시간씩 시험체를 보관한 뒤 내구성 실험을 실시하였다. 각각의 시험체는 FRP 모듈형 박스부재에서 4개씩 채취하였으며, 실험 실시 후 SEM촬영을 실시하여 파괴모드를 분석하였다. 실험 결과 저온일 때는 강도변화가 많이 나타나지 않았으나 고온일 때 압축 및 휨강도의 급격한 저조를 확인할 수 있었다. 고온 보관 시험체의 SEM(Scanning Electron Microscope) 촬영결과 수지의 손상으로 낮은 강도가 측정되는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

This study was intended to estimate the efficiency of inducing fiber arrangement in UHPCC (Ultra High Performance Cementitious Composites). For the purpose, UHPCC members produced by several different placing methods according to flow characteristics were prepared; flexural behaviors were compared and correlation between the flexural behavior and the characteristics of fiber arrangement was investigated. Test results showed that placing method for inducing specific fiber arrangement had a considerable influence on the flexural performance. The standard specimen in which fibers are induced to be directed parallel to the principle tensile direction presented higher flexural tensile strength but lower variation. Therefore it should be considered that the flexural tensile strength actually developed in UHPCC member may be highly different and in lager variation. The qualitative variation of fiber arrangement according to the flow of UHPCC was also predicted considering the flow pattern and the boundary effect; the prediction provided good explanation to the difference in the flexural behavior according to the induced flow.

Prestressed concrete (PSC) members are readly available in civil engineering applications due to the convenience of construction and easy of quality control in the manufacturing process of the member. Especially, half-depth precast concrete composite slab, which is one of the PSC flexural members is developed recently using the long-line method. The half-depth precast concrete composite slabs are composed of the precast concrete and the in-situ concrete placed at the site. In this paper, we present the results of experimental investigations pertaining to the pretensioning efficiency and the flexural behavior of half-depth precast concrete composite slab which is made of precast PSC manufactured by the long-line method. In the long-line method, the pretensioned precast member is manufactured simultaneously, by tensioning tendons at once. In addition, we suggest the equation that can estimate the flexural strength of half-depth precast concrete composite slab reasonably by considering the effects of rebar embedded in the precast PSC flexural member.

The concrete structural design provisions in Korea are based on ultimate strength design. Up to service load stage, it is assumed a linear stress-strain relation, but there is no stress-strain relationship for a concrete material from service load stage to limat state. According to the current provisions, an independent method is provided for the each calculation of deflection and crack width. In EC2 provisions based on limit state design, however, a stress-strain relationship of concrete is provided. Thereby, it is able to calculate a strength as well as a deflection directly from concrete stress-strain relationship. In this paper the moment-curvature relationship is directly calculated from a material law using equilibrium and compatibility conditions. Then strength and deflection are formulated. These results are compared with the values from the current provisions in Korea. From the results, the deflection based on a moment-curvature relationship is well agreed with experimental results and it is appeared that the deflection after the yielding of steel is also possible.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the strength and behavior of the composite member in case of concrete filled steel tube embedded in concrete for application concrete filled steel tube to steel rib support in tunnel. A total of six beam specimens were prepared for steel tube in-filled with plain concrete and aerated concrete, and static bending tests were performed. As a result, the member of concrete steel tube embedded with plain concrete showed higher strength than those with aerated concrete. However, it was found that the flexural strength of member with reinforcing bar around the steel tube is more influenced by the amount of the reinforcing bar than the type of the filled concrete.

An experimental investigation on the behavior of reinforced concrete coupling beams is presented. The test variables are the span-to-depth ratio, the ratio of flexural reinforcements and the ratio of shear rebars. The distribution of arch action and truss action which compose the mechanism of shear resistance is discussed. The increase of plastic deformation after yielding transforms the shear transfer by arch action into by truss action. This study proposes the deformation model for reinforced concrete coupling beams considering the bond slip of flexural reinforcement. The strain distribution model of shear reinforcements and flexural reinforcements based on test results is presented. The yielding of flexural reinforcements determines yielding states and the ultimate states of reinforced concrete coupling beam are defined as the ultimate compressive strain of struts and the degradation of compressive strength due to principal tensile strain of struts. The flexural-shear failure mechanism determines the ultimate state of RC coupling beams. It is expected that this model can be applied to displacement-based design methods.

Due to single symmetry of cross section, T-shaped members are likely to buckle in a flexural-torsional mode when they are subjected to axial compression. Therefore, the flexural-torsional buckling can be regarded as a governing mode of global buckling. An experimental program has been carried out to investigate the flexural-torsional buckling behavior of pultruded T-shaped members. Two types of pultruded members were tested in the experiment, and they were made of either E-glass/vinylester or E-glass/polyester. Lay-up and thickness of reinforcing layers, volume fractions of each constituents in layers, mechanical properties were experimentally determined. Two sets of knife edge fixure were used to simulate simple support condition for flexure and twisting, and the lateral displacements and the angle of twist were measured using three potentiometers. Every specimen buckled in a flexural-torsional mode, and most of the specimens showed post-buckling strength.

A new bridge system described in this paper uses concrete-filled steel tube (CFT) girders as a replacement for conventional girders. Experimental investigations were carried out to comprehend the flexural behavior of CFT girder. Specimens were manufactured considering several parameters such as the strength of filling material, the eventual presence and number of inner shear connectors to evaluate the bending bearing capacity of CFT girder. The experimental investigation consisted of designing and constructing a test specimen and loading it to collapse in bending to check the applicability of the system. Test results showed that concrete filled steel tube girders have good ductility and maintain their strength up to the end of the loading. The stiffening effect of the ㄱ-shaped perfobond rib is determined to contribute relatively to the increase of the bending bearing capacity.

The object of this study is to propose the Flexural moment-curvature relationship based on the bond property between concrete and steel for noncracking zone, to evaluate the flexural displacement of reinforced concrete member. The bond-slip relationship and the strain hardening effect of steel were taken into consideration in order to evaluate the spacing of the cracks and the curvature distribution. Calculated curvature distribution along the longitudinal axis was transformed into equivalent curvature distribution. The flexural displacement was calculated by means of double integrals of the equivalent curvature. Furthermore, 34 beams were tested in order to verify the proposed procedure Calculated values agreed well with the experimental data, and so it is pointed out that proposed method is widely acceptable for the practical evaluation of flexural displacement of reinforced concrete member.
