A reliability analysis of the axial compressive load bearing capacity of postfire reinforced concrete (RC) columns strengthened with carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) sheets was presented. A 3D finite element (FE) model was built for heat transfer analysis using software ABAQUS. Based on the temperature distribution obtained from the FE analysis, the residual axial compressive load bearing capacity of RC columns was worked out using the section method. Formulas for calculating the residual axial compressive load bearing capacity of the columns after fire exposure and the axial compressive load bearing capacity of postfire columns retrofitted with CFRP sheets were developed. Then the Monte Carlo method was used to analyze the reliability of the axial compressive load bearing capacity of the RC columns retrofitted with CFRP sheets using a code developed in MATLAB. The effects of fire exposure time, load ratio, number of CFRP layers, concrete cover thickness, and longitudinal reinforcement ratio on the reliability of the axial compressive load bearing capacity of the columns after fire were investigated. The results show that within 60 minutes of fire exposure time, the reliability index of the RC columns after retrofitting with two layers of CFRPs can meet the requirements of Chinese code GB 50068 (GB 2001) for safety level II. This method is effective and accurate for the reliability analysis of the axial load bearing capacity of postfire reinforced concrete columns retrofitted with CFRP.

본 연구에서는 차량용 Al5052/CFRP 복합재를 U-채널 몰드에서 컴프레션 몰딩 공정을 통해 제작하였다. Al5052는 샌드블라스팅을 통해 표면처리를 하였다. 표면처리를 하지 않은 판재와 표면거칠기(Ra)가 $1.85{\mu}m$ 및, $4.25{\mu}m$인 Al5052판재를 이용하여 실험을 수행하였다. 표면거칠기가 Al5052/CFRP 복합재의 접착성과 기계적 특성에 대한 영향을 전단시험과 굽힘실험을 통하여 평가하였다. 전단 시험에서는 표면거칠기가 $1.85{\mu}m$ 와 $4.25{\mu}m$ 시험편이 표면처리를 하지 않은 시험편보다 각각 3, 5배의 전단강도의 증가를 보였다. 굽힘시험에서는 표면처리를 하지 않았을 때 굽힘강도가 200 MPa에서 표면처리 후 400 MPa로 증가함을 알 수 있었다.

Many existing concrete structures suffer from low quality of concrete and inadequate confinement reinforcement. These deficiencies cause low strength and ductility. Wrapping concrete by carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) composite sheets enhances compressive strength and deformability. In this study, the effects of the thickness of the CFRP composite wraps on the behavior of concrete are investigated experimentally. Both monotonic and repeated compressive loads are considered during the tests, which are carried out on strengthened undamaged specimens, as well as the specimens, which were tested and damaged priorly and strengthened after repairing. The experimental data shows that, external confinement of concrete by CFRP composite sheets improves both compressive strength and deformability of concrete significantly as a function of the thickness of the CFRP composite wraps around concrete. Empirical equations are also proposed for compressive strength and ultimate axial deformation of FRP composite wrapped concrete. Test results available in the literature, as well as the experimental results presented in this paper, are compared with the analytical results predicted by the proposed equations.

This paper presents the behavior and strengthening effect of reinforced concrete rectangular beams strengthened using CFRP sheets with different strengthening level. In general, normally strengthened beams are failed by interfacial shear failure (delamination) within concrete, instead of by tensile failure of the CFRP sheets. The delamination occurred suddenly and the concrete cover cracked vertically by flexure was spalled off due to the release energy. The strengthened beams were stiffer than the control beam before and after reinforcement yielding. The ultimate load considerably increased with an increase of strengthening level, while the ultimate deflection significantly decreased. The tensile force of CFRP sheets and average shear stress of concrete at delamination failure were curvilinearly proportional to the strengthening level. Therefore, the increment of ultimate load obtained by strengthening was curvilinearly proportional to the strengthening level. The averaged horizontal shear stress of concrete at the interface ranges between (equation omitted) and (equation omitted) (in kg/$\textrm{cm}^2$) depending on strengthening level.

본 연구에서는 강재가 맞대기 이음으로 연결될 경우 CFRP(Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic) 쉬트(sheet)를 맞대기 이음부에 접착할 경우 강재 및 CFRP 쉬트에 발생하는 응력을 해석하였다. CFRP 쉬트로 보강한 경우 접착제의 두께, 강재와의 접착 길이, CFRP 강도 변화를 매개변수로 사용하여 이 매개변수에 변화에 따른 이음부의 응력분포를 분석하였다. 또한 CFRP를 여러 층으로 접착할 경우 각 층의 강도를 다르게 변화시켜 맞대기 이음부에 유리한 응력분포를 나타내는 CFRP의 강도를 제시하였다. 본 연구를 위해 빠른 수렴성을 가지며 왜곡된 요소형상에서도 정확한 응력결과를 보이는 강화변형률장(Enhanced Assumed Strain Field)을 사용한 평면변형률 유한요소에 대한 프로그램을 작성하였다.

탄소섬유시트 보강공법은 콘크리트구조물의 보강에 많이 사용되는 보강공법이다. 이러한 탄소섬유 보강공법에서는 콘크리트와 CFRP시트 사이의 경계면 거동이 전체 보강구조물의 거동을 지배하게 된다. 본 연구에서는 탄소섬유시트 보강공법을 적용한 콘크리트구조물의 경계면 거동에 대한 기존의 연구들을 고찰하고, 이를 바탕으로 경계면 부착거동해석에 효과적으로 사용될 수 있는 새로운 bond-slip model을 제시하고, 경계면의 부착거동을 해석할 수 있는 해석 기법을 제안하였다. 새롭게 제시된 bond-slip model은 기존의 bilinear bond-slip model을 개선한 것으로서, 전단응력이 증가하는 구간을 2개의 직선구간으로 구성하고, 전단응력이 감소하는 구간을 지수함수로 구성한 것이다. 제안된 bond-slip model은 기존의 부착전단 실험 결과 및 경계면 거동 모델들과의 비교를 통하여 검증하였다.

Experimental study has been performed in order to evaluate the effects of steel reinforcement ratio on the flexural behavior of RC beams strengthened with CFRP sheets. The steel reinforcement ratio of $0.78%({\rho}_s/{\rho}_b=24%)$ is selected to have balance failure when control RC beams were strengthened with 1 ply CFRP sheet. Total 6 half-scale specimens were manufactured including each unstrengthened specimens, which have 3 different reinforcement ratios. The specimens strengthened with CFRP sheet consist of under- or over-reinforced beams for the balanced failure condition. Moreover, the behavior of un strengthened or strengthened beams were compared to evaluate flexural performance. The results of this study show that the over-reinforced specimens were failed by concrete crushing prior to CFRP sheet failure by debonding or rupture. On the contrary, the under-reinforced specimen were failed by rupture of CFRP sheet.

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.

This paper presents the experimental results of flexural and compression steel members strengthened with carbon fiber reinforced polymers (CFRP) sheets. In the flexural test, the five specimens were fabricated and the test parameters were the number of CFRP ply and the ratio of partial-length bonded CFRP sheets of specimen. The CFRP sheet strengthened steel beam had failure mode: CFRP sheet rupture at the mid span of steel beams. A maximum increase of 11.3% was achieved depending on the number of CFRP sheet ply and the length of CFRP sheet. In the compression test, the nine specimens were fabricated and the main parameters were: width-thickness ratio (b/t), the number of CFRP ply, and the length of the specimen. From the tests, for short columns it was observed that two sides would typically buckle outward and the other two sides would buckle inward. Also, for long columns, overall buckling was observed. A maximum increase of 57% was achieved in axial-load capacity when 3 layers of CFRP were used to wrap HSS columns of b/t = 60 transversely.
