A deoxidized low-phosphorous (DLP) copper was processed by accumulative roll-bonding (ARB) for ultra grain refinement and high strengthening. Two copper sheets 1 mm thick, 30 mm wide and 300 mm long are first degreased and wire-brushed for sound bonding. The sheets are then stacked to each other, and roll-bonded by about 50% reduction rolling without lubrication at ambient temperature. The bonded sheet is then cut to the two pieces of same dimensions and the same procedure was repeated to the sheets up to eight cycles (${\varepsilon}{\sim}6.3$). TEM observation revealed that ultrafine grains were developed after the 4th cycle, and their size decreased at higher cycles. Tensile strength of the copper increased with the equivalent strain, and it reached 547 MPa which was 3 times higher than that of the initial material. It is concluded that the ARB process is an effective method for high strengthening of the DLP copper.

본 연구는 콘크리트 구조물의 보강공법으로 널리 쓰이고 있는 강판에 의한 부착식 보강공법의 단점인 단부에서의 강판분리 현상에 대한 보완실험으로 실시되었다. 실험결과 노치가 적용된 강판부착식 공법이 항복하중 이후 최대하중까지의 증가율이 기존의 공법보다 증가되어 구조물의 보강 성능의 개선 및 안전성의 확보 측면에서 크게 개선되었을 뿐만 아니라 균열이나 처짐의 조절측면에서도 우수한 것으로 판명되었다. 이는 강판에 대한 약간의 변형만으로도 구조물의 수명을 연장시킬 수 있다는 장점과 함께 경제적으로도 보강된 구조물에 대한 추가적인 제반 비용의 절감도 기대할 수 있을 것이다.

This paper presents the results cf research on improved flexural performance cf reinforced concrete beams strengthened with bonded carbon fiber reinforced polymer plate. Recently, strengthening technique with CFRP plate were almost carried out by external bonding. But current external bonding technique cf CFRP plates may result in debonding CFRP plate. Therefore, this study proposes a strengthening method that prevents or delays debonding between CFRP plates and concrete and at the same time improves the strength. For this test, there were only 14 test beams manufactured and failure load, deflection, strains and modes cf failure have been examined Test variables included the type cf strengthening, steel ratio and strengthening length, and the effects according to each test variables were analyzed. The experimental results show that the strength and stiffness cf the beam significantly increased between 34.55 and 116.51% and the increase cf the more lead-carrying capacity than the control beams.

CFRP plates has been established as an effective method for rehabilitation and strengthening of concrete structures. The CFRP reinforcements are bonded to beams and slabs using structural adhesives. Adhesive strength can be affected by environmental exposure. During freezing-and-thawing cycling, temperature-induced stresses in the adhesive layer, due to differential thermal expansion between the CFRP and the substrate concrete, may lead to bond damage and contribute to or cause premature CFRP composite separation. This paper presents the results of experimental program undertaken to investigate the effects of freeze-thaw cycling (from -18 to $4^{\circ}C$) on the behavior and failure characteristics of RC beams strengthened in shear with CFRP plate using acoustic emission (AE) technique.

Using bonded fiber-reinforced polymer laminates for strengthening wooden structural members has been shown to be an effective and economical method. In this research, properties of suitable composite materials (sika wrap), adhesives and two ways of strengthening beams exposed to bending moment are presented. Passive or slack reinforcement is one way of strengthening. The most effective way of such a strengthening was to place reinforcement laminates in the stretched part of the wooden beam (lower part in our case), in order to investigate the effectiveness of externally bonding FRP to their soffits. The model is based on equilibrium and deformations compatibility requirements in and all parts of the strengthened beam, i.e., the wooden beam, the sika wrap composite plate and the adhesive layer. The theoretical predictions are compared with other existing solutions. This research is helpful for the understanding on mechanical behaviour of the interface and design of the composite-wooden hybrid structures. The results showed that the use of the new strengthening system enhances the performance of the wooden beam when compared with the traditional strengthening system.

Steel structures often require strengthening due to the increasing life loads, or repair caused by corrosion or fatigue cracking. Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymers (CFRP) is one of the materials used to strengthen steel structures. Most studies on strengthening steel structures have been carried out on steel beams and steel columns under centric compression load. No independent article, to the author's knowledge, has studied the effect of CFRP strengthening on steel columns under eccentric compression load, and it seems that there is a lack of understanding on behavior of CFRP strengthening on steel columns under eccentric compression load. However, this study explored the use of adhesively bonded CFRP flexible sheets on retrofitting square hollow section (SHS) steel columns under the eccentric compression load, using numerical investigations. Finite Element Method (FEM) was employed for modeling. To determine ultimate load of SHS steel columns, eight specimens with two types of section (Type A and B), strengthened using CFRP sheets, were analyzed under different coverage lengths, the number of layers, and the location of CFRP composites. Two specimens were analyzed without strengthening (control) to determine the increasing rate of the ultimate load in strengthened steel columns. ANSYS was used to analyze the SHS steel columns. The results showed that the CFRP composite had no similar effect on the slender and stocky SHS steel columns. The results also showed that the coverage length, the number of layers, and the location of CFRP composites were effective in increasing the ultimate load of the SHS steel columns.

철근콘크리트 구조물은 일반적으로 재료적 특성에 따른 크리프 및 건조수축으로 인하여 장기변형이 발생하며, 이러한 변형으로 인한 구조물의 처짐을 허용 한계 이하로 유지시키는 것이 사용성 확보 측면에서 중요하다 할 수 있다. 노후된 RC보의 성능 개선을 위하여 다양항 보수 보강 방법이 사용되고 있으며 이중 대표적인 방법으로 FRP 외부부착 공법이 있다. 재료적인 성질이 우수한 FRP는 RC구조물의 보강 재료로써 현재 널리 사용되고 있으며, 일시적인 하중 뿐만 아니라 지속 하중 하에서도 향상된 보강 성능을 제공해야 한다. 따라서 FRP가 외부 부착된 RC 부재에 지속 하중이 작용할 때 콘크리트의 크리프 및 건조수축의 영향으로 인한 시간 의존적 장기 거동을 정확히 예측하는 방법이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 FRP가 외부 부착된 RC보의 장기 처짐 예측을 위해서, CFRP와 GFRP로 보강된 실험체를 제작하고, 25 kN의 지속하중을 470일간 가하여 시간 변화에 따른 처짐을 측정하였다. 또한, 이러한 처짐의 예측을 위하여 ACI-209 code 및 CEB-FIP code에 근거하여 크리프계수와 건조수축변형률을 산정하였으며, EMM과 AEMM을 사용한 ACI-318기준, Branson's method 그리고, Mayer's method를 사용하여 FRP가 외부 부착된 RC보의 장기 처짐을 예측하였다. 실험 결과, CFRP보 보강된 실험체가 가장 높은 장기 사용성을 보였으며, Mayer's method가 장기처짐에 대한 실험값을 가장 근사하게 예측한다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

A theoretical method to predict the interfacial stresses in the adhesive layer of reinforced concrete beams strengthened with externally bonded carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) plate is presented. The analysis provides efficient calculations for both shear and normal interfacial stresses in reinforced concrete beams strengthened with composite plates, and accounts for various effects of Poisson's ratio and Young's modulus of adhesive. Such interfacial stresses play a fundamental role in the mechanics of plated beams, because they can produce a sudden and premature failure. The analysis is based on equilibrium and deformations compatibility approach developed by Tounsi. In the present theoretical analysis, the adherend shear deformations are taken into account by assuming a parabolic shear stress through the thickness of both the reinforced concrete beam and bonded plate. The paper is concluded with a summary and recommendations for the design of the strengthened beam.

The paper presents the results of experimental studies on two strengthening methods for reinforced concrete (RC) slabs. Bending tests on RC slabs have been carried out to investigate the influence of the increased thickness and externally bonded carbon fiber sheets. The interfaces of new and old concrete of increased thickness specimens have been chipped and treated with bonding agent. The conclusions have been reached as followings. (1) The behavior of specimens with chipped interface is good enough to calculate flexural strength of RC slabs for increased depth. (2) The flexural stiffness of increased depth specimen is severely increased and the deformation of RC slabs is controled. (3) The specimens with externally bonded carbon fiber sheets can be assumed to behave monolithically.

This paper addresses numerical modeling and nonlinear analysis of unreinforced masonry walls and vaults externally strengthened using fiber reinforced polymers (FRP). The aim of the research is to provide a simple method for design of strengthening interventions for masonry arched structures while considering the nonlinear behavior. Several brick masonry walls and vaults externally strengthened by FRP which have been previously tested experimentally are modeled using finite elements. Numerical modeling and nonlinear analysis are performed using commercial software. Description of the modeling, material characterization and solution parameters are given. The obtained numerical results demonstrate that externally applied FRP strengthening increased the ultimate capacity of the walls and vaults and improved their failure mode. The numerical results are in good agreement with the experimentally obtained ultimate failure load, maximum displacement and crack pattern; which demonstrates the capability of the proposed modeling scheme to simulate efficiently the actual behavior of FRP-strengthened masonry elements. Application is made on a historic masonry dome and the numerical analysis managed to explain its structural behavior before and after strengthening. The modeling approach may thus be regarded a practical and valid tool for design of strengthening interventions for contemporary or historic unreinforced masonry elements using externally bonded FRP.
