The effect of weld improvement on the corroded fatigue life of welded structures was investigated. Toe grinding, TIG dressing and weld profiling were used as the geometric improvement methods. Fatigue tests under the corroded condition in artificial seawater were carried out to investigate the corrosion fatigue behavior of API 2W Gr.50T steel plate produced by POSCO. The test results in weld improved conditions were compared with those in as-welded condition. The test results were also compared with the design curves in UK DEn Class F. Corroded fatigue life of weld improved specimens was longer than that of as-welded specimen. Especially, the corroded fatigue life exceeded the mean SN curve in air of UK DEn Class F.

This paper presents a fatigue assessment model that was developed for corroded reinforced concrete (RC) beams strengthened using prestressed carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) sheets. The proposed model considers the fatigue properties of the constituent materials as well as the section equilibrium. The model provides a rational approach that can be used to explicitly assess the failure mode, fatigue life, fatigue strength, stiffness, and post-fatigue ultimate capacity of corroded beams strengthened with prestressed CFRP. A parametric analysis demonstrated that the controlling factor for the fatigue behavior of the beams is the fatigue behavior of the corroded steel bars. Strengthening with one layer of non-prestressed CFRP sheets restored the fatigue behavior of beams with rebar at a low corrosion degree to the level of the uncorroded beams, while strengthening with 20- and 30%-prestressed CFRP sheets restored the fatigue behavior of the beams with medium and high corrosion degrees, respectively, to the values of the uncorroded beams. Under cyclic fatigue loading, the factors for the strengthening design of corroded RC beams fall in the order of stiffness, fatigue life, fatigue strength, and ultimate capacity.

Fatigue life of catenary wires in various environments is reduced when stress is concentrated on some points, which are often found in corroded areas by surrounding pollutants. Therefore, the fatigue test were performed in order to investigate the effect of the surface corrosion on the destructive behavior in service environment and accelerated corrosion environment as well as th examine the corrosive property and mechanism of the catenary wires. In the fatigue test of the messenger stranded wire, the corrosion degraded materials showed 35~50% of fatigue life at a same stress amplitude compared to original material. Because the catenary wires have variable load by the interaction of periodic contacts with pantographs the maximum stresses of trolley wire and messenger wire calculated by simulation at the messenger wire during operation was estimated thought the corrosion behavior interpretation of variable stress and fatigue test.

철근과 콘크리트의 부착은 콘크리트와 철근의 일체거동에 의한 안전성 확보를 위해서도 필요하지만, 적정수준의 연성을 확보하여, 부재의 거동을 조절하기 위해서도 필요하다. 현재까지 반복하중 하에서의 부착응력-슬립관계에 대한 연구는 진행되어 왔으나, 철근 부식이 이루어진 경우의 반복하중 하에서의 부착응력-슬립관계에 대한 연구는 거의 없는 실정이다. 따라서 이 연구에서는 부식된 철근의 부착 실험을 통하여 단조하중과 반복하중 하에서의 부식률에 따른 부착응력-슬립 관계를 살펴보았다. 실험결과로부터 철근 부식은 할열 균열이 발생하기 전까지는 단조하중에서의 부착강도를 증가시키는 것을 확인하였다. 그리고 반복하중 횟수와 반복하중 하에서의 슬립 및 잔류슬립을 이중로그스케일로 도시한 결과, 철근 부식이 있는 경우에도 철근 부식이 없는 경우와 마찬가지로 선형 관계임을 확인하였다. 그리고 부식에 의한 균열이 발생하지 않는 한, 철근 부식이 반복하중 재하 이후의 부착강도 및 부착강도에서의 슬립 등 부착 특성에 영향을 미치지 않는 것도 알 수 있었다. 마지막으로, 철근 부식으로 인한 균열이후에서의 응력수준에 따른 피로수명은 급격히 감소하는 것을 확인하였다. 이 연구에서 제시하는 철근 부식을 고려한 반복하중 하에서의 부착응력-슬립의 관계는 철근콘크리트 구조물의 내구수명 예측 시 유용하게 사용될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.
