The reliability of cold-bonding repair technique of carbon-fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP) laminates, often used as a temporary repair for the airplane maintenance, has been evaluated during cyclic loading and localized heating by nondestructive methods. Major concern was given to the evolution of damage after repair in the form of delaminations due to localized heating and cyclic loading combined. An area of interest both on the specimen repaired by cold-bonding and the specimen without repair where delaminations were induced by localized heating and cyclic loading was monitored by acoustic emission (AE) testing and further examined by pitch-catch low-frequency bond testing, and pulse-echo high-frequency ultrasonic testing. The results showed that the reliability of cold-bonding repair would be significantly reduced by the localized heating and cyclic loading combined rather than by the cyclic loading only. AE monitoring appeared to be an effective and reliable tool to monitor the integrity of temporarily repaired CFRP laminates in terms of the structural health monitoring (SHM) philosophy.

The exploitation of fibre reinforced polymer composites, as external reinforcement is an evergreen and well-known technique for improving the structural performance of reinforced concrete structures. The demand to use FRP composites in the civil engineering industry is mainly due to its high strength, light weight, and stiffness. This paper exemplifies the shear strength of partially precracked reinforced concrete rectangular beams repaired with externally bonded Bi-Directional Carbon Fibre Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) Fabrics strips. All specimens were cast in the laboratory environment without any internal shear reinforcement. The test parameters were longitudinal tensile reinforcement, shear span to effective depth ratio, spacing of CFRP strips, and orientation of CFRP reinforcement. It mainly focuses on the shear capacity and modes of failure of the CFRP strengthened shear beams. Results have shown that the CFRP repaired beams attained a shear enhancement of 32% and 107.64% greater than the control beams. This study underscores that the CFRP strip technique significantly enhanced the shear capacity of precracked reinforced concrete rectangular beams without any internal shear reinforcement.

Reinforced concrete(R/C) structures need repair and rehabilitation due to the deterioration such as a crack, spalling and disintergration. Numerous repair materials which are currently used in construction fields without any regulation are examined in terms of their serviceabilities and effectiveness. In this paper section of existing R/C beams are enlarged with repair materials, that is, epoxy, latex or premix. And then they are strengthened with rebar, steel poate of CFRP on the tension face. Structural behaviors of strengthened beams are investigated both statically and dynamically and they are compared with each. This paper summarizes the overall research plan.

Over the past couple decades, externally bonded fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composites have emerged as a repair and strengthening material for many concrete infrastructure applications. This paper presents an analytical investigation of the use of carbon FRP (CFRP) for a specific problem that occurs in concrete bridge girders wherein the girder ends are damaged by excessive exposure to deicing salts and numerous freezing/thawing cycles. A 3D finite element (FE) model of a full scale prestressed concrete (PC) I-girder is used to investigate the effect of damage to the cover concrete and stirrups in the end region of the girder. Parametric studies are performed using externally bonded CFRP shear laminates to determine the most effective repair schemes for the damaged end region under a short shear span-to-depth ratio. Experimental results on shear pull off tests of CFRP laminates that have undergone accelerated aging are used to calibrate a bond stress-slip model for the interface between the FRP and concrete substrate and approximate the reduced bond stress-slip properties associated with exposure to the environment that causes this type of end region damage. The results of these analyses indicate that this particular application of this material can be effective in recovering the original strength of PC bridge girders with damaged end regions, even after environmental aging.

본 논문은 CFRP 격자 보강재로 보강한 콘크리트 슬래브의 파괴형태와 보강설계기준에 대한 연구이다. 실험 연구에서 채택한 시험변수로는 CFRP 격자 보강재의 양, 보강 모르타르의 깊이, 앵커핀의 유무, 압축부 보강 등이다. 연구에 의하면 CFRP 격자 섬유 보강량에 따라 파괴형태가 다르게 나타났는데 낮은 보강수준에서는 FRP 격자의 인장 파단파괴를 보였고 보통의 보강정도에서는 격자층 계면전단파괴가 발생하였다. 높은 보강량을 가진 슬래브에서는 사인장전단파괴 형태를 나타냈다. 보강 효과는 FRP 격자 보강재의 양이 증가할수록 증대하였으나 취성 전단파괴에 의해 연성은 감소되었다. 따라서 FRP 격자 보강량을 제한함으로써 갑자기 하중 지지력을 상실하는 전단파괴를 피할 수 있다. 파괴형태 중 CFRP 파단파괴가 바람직한데 그 이유는 섬유파단 후에도 극한상태에서 보강 전 슬래브의 하중지지력과 연성을 가지고 있기 때문이다. 마지막으로 본 논문은 CFRP 격자섬유보강설계기준과 과정을 제시하고 있다.

Rapid and effective repair methods are desired to enable quick reopening of damaged bridges after an earthquake occurs, especially for those bridges that are critical for emergency response and other essential functions. This paper presents results of tests conducted as a proof-of-concept in the effectiveness of a proposed method using externally bonded carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites to rapidly repair severely damaged RC columns with different damage conditions. The experimental work included five large-scale severely damaged square RC columns with the same geometry and material properties but with different damage conditions due to different loading combinations of bending, shear, and torsion in the previous tests. Over a three-day period, each column was repaired and retested under the same loading combination as the corresponding original column. Quickset repair mortar was used to replace the removed loose concrete. Without any treatment to damaged reinforcing bars, longitudinal and transverse CFRP sheets were externally bonded to the prepared surface to restore the column strength. Measured data were analyzed to investigate the performance of the repaired columns compared to the corresponding original column responses. It was concluded that the technique can be successful for severely damaged columns with damage to the concrete and transverse reinforcement. For severely damaged columns with damaged longitudinal reinforcement, the technique was found to be successful if the damaged longitudinal reinforcement is able to provide tensile resistance, or if the damage is located at a section where longitudinal CFRP strength can be developed.

The effectiveness of the repair scheme for the damaged captive-columns with CFRPs (Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer) was investigated in terms of response quantities such as strength, ductility, dissipated energy and stiffness degradation. Two 1/3 scale, one-story one-bay RC (Reinforced Concrete) frames were designed to represent the substandard RC buildings in Turkish building stock. The first one, which is the reference specimen, is the bare frame without infill wall. Partial infill wall with opening was constructed between the columns of the second frame and this caused captive column defect. Severe damage was observed with the concentration of shear cracks in the second specimen columns. Then, the damaged members were repaired by CFRP wrapping and retested. For the three test series, similar reversed cyclic lateral displacement under combined effect of axial load was applied to the top of the columns. Overall response of the bare frame was dominated by flexural cracks. Brittle type of shear failure in the column top ends was observed in the specimen with partial infill wall. It was observed that former capacity of damaged members of the second frame was recovered by the applied repair scheme. Moreover, ultimate displacement capacity of the damaged frame was improved considerably by CFRP wrapping.

본 연구에서는 기 개발된 비탄성 시간종속요소(이도형과 전정문, 2006)와 단순화된 CFRP(Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer) 재료모델을 개발하여 CFRP로 보수된 철근콘크리트 교량 교각에 대한 보수효과가 교량의 응답거동에 미치는 영향을 검토하였다. 정적시간이력해석의 경우, CFRP로 보수된 교각에 대한 해석결과는 실험결과와 비교적 좋은 상관관계를 나타내었다. 또한, 동적시간이력해석의 경우, 전단을 고려한 경우와 고려하지 않은 경우를 비교하여 보수효과에 대한 전단의 영향을 검토하였다. 비교해석결과, 보수의 효과는 부재에 대한 특성증진효과와 함께 구조물 전체의 응답거동에 영향을 끼칠 수 있다는 것을 알 수 있었고, 전단을 포함한 경우와 전단을 포함하지 않은 경우 강도와 강성, 변위응답에서의 차이를 확인할 수 있었다. 따라서 본 연구에서 개발된 해석모델 및 기법은 손상된 부재 및 구조물의 보수 후에 요구되어지는 강도, 강성 및 연성능력에 관한 평가를 가능하게 해줄 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

This research aimed to clarify the long-term mechanical performance of a steel truss member strengthened by a carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) without protective coating through exposure testing. Strengthening and repair methods using CFRP have been developed in recent years; however, there is a lack of durability research for CFRP-strengthened members, especially mechanical performance investigation according to actual exposure testing. In this study, 10 CFRP-strengthening steel specimens were created in 2015, and elastic bending tests were conducted biannually. Eventually, although resin loss occurred due to environmental effects, the mechanical performance of CFRP-strengthened steel was not degraded, and we propose a calculation method of bending stiffness to evaluate the lower value of stiffness for design.
