Due to the development of high-strength fibers and adhesives, it is now possible to repair cracked metallic plates by bonding reinforced patches to the plate over the crack. In this study, pre-cracked aluminum 6061-T6 alloy plates repaired with bonded carbon/epoxy composite patch are applied to investigate the effect of various patch shapes on the tensile strength and the fatigue behavior of the structure. A non-patch-boned cased and 2 type-50$\times$50, 40$\times$20 mm-composite patch-bonded cases were tested to obtain fracture loads and fatigue crack growth rate. The results showed that the patch-bonded repair improves the static strength by 17% and the fatigue life by 200% compared to non-repaired case. It means that patch-boned repair is more effective in the fatigue life. It was also revealed that the patching method along crack growth direction is more efficient in cost and weight reduction. By observing the fractography, patch-bonded repair specimens demonstrated zigzag fracture patterns compared with the non-patched specimens, which shows a typical ductile fracture.

하프PC 슬래브는 시공중에 슬래브 판에 균열이 발생하기 쉽고 이러한 균열들을 보수보강 하지 않은 상태에서 덧침콘크리트를 타설할 경우 합성슬래브의 내력에 영향을 미칠 것으로 사료된다. 하지만 하프PC 슬래브에 발생한 균열이 합성슬래브의 구조성능에 미치는 영향에 관한 연구는 아직까지 없는 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 하프PC 슬래브에 발생한 균열이 합성 슬래브의 내력에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위하여 덧침 콘크리트를 타설하기 전에 하프PC 슬래브에 균열을 발생시킨 시험체와 균열이 없는 합성슬래브 시험체를 제작하여 슬래브의 휨 성능을 검토하였다.

Delamination crack detection is very important for improving the structural reliability of laminated composite structures. This requires real-time delamination detection technologies. For composite laminates that are reinforced with carbon fiber, an electrical potential method uses carbon fiber for reinforcements and sensors at the same time. The use of carbon fiber for sensors does not need to consider the strength reduction of smart structures induced by imbedding sensors into the structures. With carbon fiber reinforced (CF/) epoxy matrix composites, it had been proved that the delamination crack was detected experimentally. In the present study, therefore, similar experiments were conducted to prove the applicability of the method for delamination crack detection of CF/polyetherethereketone matrix composite laminates. Mode I and mode II delamination tests with artificial cracks were conducted, and three point bending tests without artificial cracks were conducted. This study experimentally proves the applicability of the method for detection of delamination cracks. CF/polyetherethereketone material has strong electric resistance anisotropy. For CF/polyetherethereketone matrix composites, a carbon fiber network is constructed, and the network is broken by propagation of delamination cracks. This causes a change in the electric resistance of CF/polyetherethereketone matrix composites. Using three point bending specimens, delamination cracks generated without artificial initial cracks is proved to be detectable using the electric potential method: This method successfully detected delamination cracks.

Rapid construction of prefabricated bridges requires minimizing the field work of precast members and ensuring structural stability and constructability. In this study, we conducted experimental and analytical investigations of transverse joints of prefabricated T-girder bridge superstructures to verify the flexural performance and serviceability. In addition, we conducted parametric studies to identify the joint parameters. The results showed that both the segmented and continuous specimens satisfied the ultimate flexural strength criterion, and the segmented specimen exhibited unified behavior, with the flexural strength corresponding to that of the continuous specimen. The segmented specimens exhibited elastic behavior under service load conditions, and the maximum crack width satisfied the acceptance criteria. The reliability of the finite element model of the joint was verified, and parametric analysis of the convexity of the joint section and the compressive strength of the filler concrete showed that the minimum deflection and crack width occurred at a specific angle. As the strength of the filler concrete increased, the deflection and crack width decreased. However, we confirmed that the reduction in the crack width was hardly observed above a specific strength. Therefore, a design suitable for prefabricated bridges and accelerated construction can be achieved by improving the joint specifications based on the required criteria.

GFRP복합재료의 피로거동은 하중형식, 재질 및 섬유의 강화구조, 환경적인 인자들의 영향을 크게 받는것으로 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서는GFRP의 피로거동에 미치는 증류수 흡습의 영향을 알아보기 위해 chopped strand glass mat강화 불포화 polyester수지 복합재료의피로특성을 조사하였다. 피로균열은 건조재와 흡습재 모두 피로 cycle초기에 발생하며 그 후 균열성장이 점차 둔화되는 영역과 가속되는 영역으로 나뉘어졌다. 또한 증류수의 흡습은 섬유와 기지재 사이의 결합력을 저하시키며 그로 인해 균영성장방향에 수직인곳에서의 fiber pull-out 발생과 균열성장방향에 있는 섬유들에서의 debonding이 증가하여 피로강도가 저하하였다.

도로변 크랙실링 공법은 도로면에 발생된 크랙을 초기에 효과적으로 보수함으로써 후속 크랙 방지 및 동결피해를 방지하고 도로 하부 구조를 보호하여 도로의 평균상태지수를 높일 수 있는 예방적 유지보수 공법이다. 그러나 재래식 도로면 크랙실링 공법은 작업의 특성상 교통량이 많은 대도시나 고속도로에서 대부분의 작업이 수행되므로 작업 노무자의 안전성을 확보하기 어렵고, 숙련공의 부족으로 인해 작업 생산성 및 품질이 저하되는 등 문제점을 지니고 있다. 1990년대 초반부터 북미 등 선진 외국에서는 재래식 도로변 크랙실링 공법을 자동화하기 위한 연구를 지속적으로 수행하고 있으며 국내에서도 2001년부터 2004년까지 도로면 크랙실링 자동화 장비를 개발하고 현장 실험을 수행한 바 있으나, 작업 품질, 제어의 복잡성, 고가의 장비 구입 가격 등은 개발 장비를 실용화함에 있어 문제점으로 지적되어 왔다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 재래식 크랙실링 공법 및 국내외에서 연구 개발된 도로면 크랙실링 자동화 장비의 문제점을 해결하고 국내 도로 상황과 규정에 부합되는 도로면 크랙실링 자동화 장비의 최적 개념 디자인을 제안하고 원척의(Full-scale) 장비 개발을 위한 제안 기술의 타당성을 분석하였다.

This study nondestructively examined the evolution of crack density in ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) upon cyclic loading. Uniaxial compression was repeatedly applied to the cylindrical specimens at levels corresponding to 32% and 53% of the maximum load-bearing capacity, each at a steady strain rate. At each stage, both P-wave and S-wave velocities were measured in the absence of the applied load. In particular, the continuous monitoring of P-wave velocity from the first loading prior to the second loading allowed real-time observation of the strengthening effect during loading and the recovery effect afterwards. Increasing the number of cycles resulted in the reduction of both elastic wave velocities and Young's modulus, along with a slight rise in Poisson's ratio in both tested cases. The computed crack density showed a monotonically increasing trend with repeated loading, more significant at 53% than at 32% loading. Furthermore, the spatial distribution of the crack density along the height was achieved, validating the directional dependency of microcracking development. This study demonstrated the capability of the crack density to capture the evolution of microcracks in UHPC under cyclic loading condition, as an early-stage damage indicator.

This paper is on the research of the special character of the dynamic response according to a design of the clamped reinforced concrete slab. In this study, the 20-node solid element has been used to analyze the dynamic characteristics of RC slabs with clamped edges. The elasto-visco plastic model for material non-linearity and the smeared crack model have been adopted in the finite element formulation. The design factor, which affect the dynamic response of the reinforced concrete slab, are the steel layer thickness, steel layer depth, steel layout method, steel layout angle and the slab thickness and span ratio. The main purpose of this study was to find out the dynamic response of the reinforced concrete slab according to above variables. The reduction of deflection/thickness ratio appeared less than 2% when the slab thickness between 20 and 21cm. It is desirable that the slab thickness must be above 20-21cm. The reduction ratio of deflection is appeared greatly when the value of the span/thickness ratio is between 25 and 30. In conclusion, the steel layer depth and thickness had a little effect on deflection of the dynamic response, but had no effect on the steel layout angle.
