The proposed model can predict the compressive behaviors of concrete confined with fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) jacket. To model confining concrete by FRP jackets, the hypoelasticity-based constitutive law of concrete In tri-axial stress states has been presented. The increment of strength of concrete has been determined by the failure surface of concrete in tri-axial states, and its corresponding peak strain is computed by the strain enhancement factor that is proposed in the present study, Therefore, the newly proposed model is a load-dependent confinement model of concrete wrapped by FRP jackets to compare the previous models which are load-independent confinement models. The behavior of FRP jackets has been modeled using the mechanics of orthotropic laminated composite materials in two-dimension. The developed model is implemented into the incremental analysis of compressive tests. The verification study with several different experiments shows that the model is able to adequately capture the behavior of the compression test by including better estimations of the axial responses as well as the lateral response of FRP-confined concrete cylinders.

Internally Confined Hollow RC(ICH RC) column consisted of concrete, transverse reinforcement, longitudinal reinforcement, and inner tube. It had good strength and ductility by core concrete was become triaxial confining state with transverse reinforcement and inner tube. There were two confining stress as external confining stress and internal confining stress in an ICH RC column. While external confining stress was researched by former researchers, internal confining stress has not researched. In this paper, confining stress of both Hollow RC column and ICH RC column was investigated using FEA program. Relation between theoretical confining stress and internal confining stress was drawn by analysis results. Modified failure condition equations of inner tube were suggested to base on failure condition equations of inner tube by former researcher. When thickness of inner tube was calculated by modified equations, it could be economic because thickness of inner tube was reduced 50% compared with former researcher equations in order to same confining stress.

Recently, study of confining effect in column members is progressed. But these studies are limited to about RC column and external confining effect in hollow columns. Internal confining effect in hollow columns has not researched. Internal confining stress is assumed the same external confining stress in hollow columns. In this study, there are to investigate the internal direction confining effect in ICH CFT column by FEA analysis. FEA analysis methods have verified by experimental values. Parametric study has performed as thickness of internal tube, hollow ratio, diameter of column and bending stiffness between concrete and external tube. Modified equations have suggested to estimating economic and reasonable thickness of internal tube.

최근 세계적인 지진의 발생과 함께 구조물의 내진성능 평가 및 증진 방법에 대하여 많은 연구가 진행 되고 있다. 특히 교량 구조물의 교각의 경우에는 상부구조의 고정하중 및 활하중을 지반에 전달하여 주는 역할을 하기 때문에, 역으로 지진이 발생하였을 경우 교각의 내진성능에 따라서 교량의 안전도에 많은 영향을 미칠 수 있다. 또한 산악지역이 국토의 70%이상을 차지하는 우리나라의 지형적인 특성상 고교각을 이용한 장대교량의 건설이 필요하며 도시지역의 교통량 증가로 인한 도시고속도로의 건설 등 고가교의 필요성이 점차 증가하고 있다. 그러나 CFT(Concrete Filled Tube)부재의 경우에는 콘크리트가 3축 구속 상태로 존재하지만 자중이 크며 내진 성능이 떨어지는 단점을 가지고 있다. 이러한 단점을 보완하기 위하여 CFT부재의 단면을 중공으로 만듦으로써 부재를 경량화하고 내부 튜브를 삽입하여 내부를 구속 시킨 내부 구속 중공 CFT 부재(Internally Confined Hollow CFT Member, ICH CFT)가 개발되었다. 이는 콘크리트가 내 외부 튜브에 의하여 구속되어 3축 구속 상태로 존재함으로써 콘크리트 중공부로의 취성파괴를 방지하여 연성도 및 강도를 향상시켜주며, 단면의 감소로 인해 재료비를 절감 할 뿐 아니라 자중 감소로 인해 내진 설계에도 유리하다. 현재 내부 구속 중공 CFT 부재에 대한 연구가 많이 진행되고 있지만, 튜브를 삽입함으로써 부재의 중공부로 발생하는 구속력의 특성을 해석적으로 정립한 연구는 미비한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 압축을 받는 중공 CFT 부재에 내부 튜브를 삽입함으로써 발생하는 콘크리트의 구속력을 해석적 연구를 통하여 수행하였으며, 구속력을 파악하기 위한 평가 방법으로는 구속 콘크리트의 중공비와 직경, 외부튜브의 두께, 내부튜브의 두께 등으로 평가하였다. 해석적 연구 결과, 내부 튜브를 삽입함으로써 발생되는 외부 구속력은 이론적 수식에 의한 구속 응력값과 비슷한 값을 가지지만 내부로 발생하는 구속력은 이론적 수식에 의한 구속 응력값에 도달하지 못하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

Previous researches showed that confined concrete with Fiber-Reinforced Plastic (FRP) sheets significantly improves the strength and ductility of concrete compared with unconfined concrete. However, the retrofit design of concrete with FRP materials requires an accurate estimate of the performance enhancement due to the confinement mechanism. The object of this research is to predict the compressive strength and strain of concrete confined with FRP wraps. For the purpose of this research, 102 test specimens were fabricated and loaded statically under uniaxial compression. Axial load, axial and lateral strains were investigated to predict the ultimate stress and strain. Also, to achieve reliability of proposed strength and strain models for FRP-confined concrete, another series of uniaxial compression test results were used. This paper presents strength and strain models for FRP-confined concrete. The proposed models to estimate the ultimate stresses and failure strains produce satisfactory predictions as compared to current design equations. In conclusion, it is proposed that the modified stress-strain model of concrete cylinders could be effectively used for the repair and retrofit of concrete columns.

We could say that the concrete filled steel tube structure is superior in the vlew of various structure properties as to promote improvement of structural capacity to dtmonstrate heterogeneous material properties interdependently. The compressive strength is increased by putting to tri axial stress because lateral expansion of concrete 1s confined by the steel tube, when concrete conflned by steel tube fall under centric axial load. Also, it have an advantage that decreasr of load carrying capacity 1s small, not occuring section deficiency due to protect falling piienornonon by co~nprrssion fallurc of concrete. So this study investigated for structural behaviors yroprrtiex of concwir. confined by steel tube throughout a series of experlmerit with kcy parxncter, such as diameter-to-thickness(D / t) ratio, strength of concrete as a study on properties of structural behaviors of confined concrete confined by circular steel tube( tri axial stress). Frorn the expcrment results, the obtained results, are surnrnarised as foliow. (1) The restraint effect of concrete by steel tube was presented significantly as the D /t ratio of steel tube and the strength of filled concrete decrease, and the confined concrete by circular steel tube was increased respectively twice as much as 4-7 in deformation capacity at the ultimate strength ,compared with those of non-confined concrete, so expected to increase flexible effect of concrete. (2) The emprical formula to predict the ultimate capacity of confined concrete by steel tube and concrete filled steel tube column using restraint coefficient of concrete were proposed.

A series of drained plane strain compression tests was performed on dried samples of dense Toyoura sand and Silver Leighton Buzzard sand prepared by air-pluviation method to find out the deformation and strength characteristics on the value of confining pressure ${\sigma}{_3}^{\prime}({\sigma}{_3}^{\prime}=0.05{\sim}4.0kgf/cm^2)$. The axial and lateral strains measured in this apparatus ranged from $10^{-6}$ up to the failure of the specimen. So the stress-strain characteristics would be investigated from very small to very large strain levels. It was found that the change of the angle of internal friction ${\phi}^{\prime}{_{max}}=arcsin\{({\sigma}{_1}^{\prime}-{\sigma}{_3}^{\prime})/({\sigma}{_1}^{\prime}+{\sigma}{_3}^{\prime})\}_{max}$ with the change of ${\sigma}{_3}^{\prime}$ is very small when ${\sigma}{_3}^{\prime}$ is lower than higher. Furthermore, the effect of confining pressure on stiffness of sands was evaluated. It was also found that for the range of shear strain ${\gamma}$ from $10^{-6}$ to those at peak, the Rowe's stress-dilatancy relation seems to be a good approximation for air-dried Toyoura sand and Silver Leighton Buzzard sand, irrespective of the change of ${\sigma}{_3}^{\prime}$.

Considering the effects of confining pressure, initial shear stress, cyclic stress ratio and number of loading cycles, cyclic triaxial tests are carried out to clarify the soil dynamic properties such as shear modulus and value of material damping of clay under undrained cyclic loading conditions. The results show that no obvious dependency on initial shear stress and effective confining stress are recognized in the shear modulus and damping ratio plotted versus strain. However, the shear modulus decreases and the damping ratio increases with increasing axial strain. When compared with others, it is also revealed that the shear moduli are distributed within the range curves obtained using empirical equations derived by Marcuson et al. (3) and Kokusho et al. (4), and damping ratios are distributed between the curves obtained by Kokusho et al. (4) and Ishihara et al. (9).

연약지반상에 하중 경감을 목적으로 발포성 폴리스티렌(Expanded Polystyrene)을 사용하는 사례가 최근 꾸준히 증가하고 있다. 공법의 요점은 연약지반상에 축조되는 상부구조물에 의한 응력증가를 감소시켜서 결국에는 침하를 방지하기 위한 것이다. 이것을 지오폼(geofoam)이라고 하는데, 지오폼은 교대나 옹벽의 뒷채움재로 사용할 경우 횡토압을 감소시키기 때문에 옹벽이나 교대의 뒷채움재료로 사용하기도 한다. 이와 같이 그 사용이 꾸준히 증가하고 있지만 뒷채움이나 연악지반상에 사용할 때 지오폼의 거동을 예측하는 적절한 수치모델이 아직은 개발되자 않았다. 본 연구에서는 지오폼의 응력-변형 특성을 연구하고 그 탄소성 예측모델을 제시하였다. 이를 위하여 삼축압축시험을 실시하였으며 구속응력과 지오폼의 밀도를 다양하게 변화시켜 그 응력-변형특성을 조사하고 회귀분석을 통하여 비선형 구성모델을 제시하였다. 그 결과 지오폼은 탄성 선형모델보다 탄소성모델 특성에 더 가까운 것을 알 수 있었으며 체적변화율과 축방향 변형률에는 특별한 상관 관계가 있음을 알 수 있었다.

The present study simplified the moment-curvature relationship to straightforwardly determine the flexural behavior of reinforced concrete (RC) columns. For the idealized column section, moments and neutral axis depths at different stages(first flexural crack, yielding of tensile reinforcing bar, maximum strength, and 80% of the maximum strength at the descending branch) were derived on the basis of the equilibrium condition of forces and compatibility condition. Concrete strains at the extreme compression fiber beyond the maximum strength were determined using the stress-strain relationship of confined concrete, proposed by Kim et al. The lateral load-displacement curves converted from the simplified moment-curvature relationship of columns are well consistent with test results obtained from column specimens under various parameters. The moments and the corresponding neutral axis depth at different stages were formulated as a function of longitudinal reinforcement and transverse reinforcement indices and/or applied axial load index. Overall, curvature ductility of columns was significantly affected by the axial load level as well as concrete compressive strength and the amount of longitudinal and transverse reinforcing bars.
