This research is to evaluate the seismic performance of reinforced concrete bridge piers with lap-spliced longitudinal reinforcement steels in the plastic hinge region, and to develop the enhancement scheme of their seismic capacity. Six circular columns of 0.6m diameter and 1.5m height were made with two confinement steel ratios. They were damaged under series of artificial earthquakes that could be compatible in Korean peninsula. Directly after the pseudo-dynamic test, damaged columns were retested under inelastic reversal cyclic loading simultaneously under an axial load, P=$0.1f_{ck}A_{g}$, and residual seismic performance of damaged columns was evaluated. Test results show that RC bridge piers with lap-spliced longitudinal steels behaved with minor damage even under artificial earthquakes with 0.22g PGA, but failed at low ductility subjected to the subsequent quasi-static load test. This failure was due to the debonding of the lap splice. The specimens externally wrapped with composite FRP straps in the potential plastic hinge region showed significant improvement both in flexural strength and displacement ductility.

In the present study, a Finite Element Model has been developed and used to study the effect of diameter to wall thickness ratio (D/t) of steel tube filled with concrete under axial loading on its behavior and load carrying capacity. The model is verified by comparing its findings with available experimental results. Influence of thickness and area of steel tube on strength, ductility, confinement and failure mode shapes has been studied. Strength enhancement factors, load factor, confinement contribution, percentage of steel and ductility index are defined and introduced for the assessment. A parametric study by varying length and thickness of tube has been carried out. Diameter of tube kept constant and equals to 140 mm while thickness has been varied between 1 mm and 6 mm. Equations were developed to find out the ultimate load and confined concrete strength of concrete. Variation of lateral confining pressure along the length of concrete cylinder was obtained and found that it varies along the length. The increase in length of tubes has a minimal effect on strength of tube but it affects the failure mode shapes. The findings indicate that optimum use of materials can be achieved by deciding the thickness of steel tube. A better ductility index can be obtained with the use of higher thickness of tube.

This paper presents the results of an experimental investigation on the flexural behavior of doubly reinforced lightweight concrete (R.L.C.) beams tested under cyclic loading. A total of 20 beam specimens were tested. Test results are presented in terms of ductility index, the degradation of strength and stiffness, and energy dissipation. The flexural properties of R.L.C. beam were compared to those of normal concrete (R.C.) beams. Test results show that R.L.C. beam with low and medium concrete strength (20, 40MPa) performed displacement ductility similar to the R.C. beam. The ductility can be improved by enhancing the concrete strength or decreasing the tension reinforcement ratio. Using lightweight aggregate in concrete is advantageous to the dynamic stiffness of R.L.C. beam. Enhancement of concrete strength and increase of reinforcement ratio will lead to increase of the stiffness degradation of beam. The energy dissipation of R.L.C beam, similar to R.C. beam, increase with the increase of tension reinforcement ratio. The energy dissipation of unit load cycle for smaller tension reinforcement ratio is relatively less than that of beam with higher reinforcement ratio.

Based on the orthotropic hypoelasticity formulation, a triaxial constitutive model of concrete is proposed. To account for increasing ductility in high confinement of concrete, the ductility enhancement is considered using so called the strain enhancement factor. It is also developed a three-dimensional finite element model for reinforced concrete structural members based on the proposed constitutive law of concrete with the smeared crack approach. The concrete confinement effects due to the beam-column joint are investigated through numerical examples for simple beam and structural beam member. Concrete at compression fibers in the vicinity of beam-column joint behaves dominant not only by the uniaxial compressive state but also by the biaxial and triaxial compressive states. For the reason of the severe confinement of concrete in the beam-column joint, the flexural critical cross-section is observed at a small distance away from the beam-column joint. These observations should be utilized for the economic design when the concrete structural members are subjected to high confinement due to the influence of beam-column joint.

합성재료중 강섬유(Steel fiber)로 보강된 콘크리트는 보강되지 않은 콘크리트에 비하여 전단, 휨, 피로강도 증진 및 균열제어 효과가 우수한 것으로 평가되고 있다. 특히 전단에 대한 강섬유 보강효과는 취성적인 전단파괴에서의 안정적인 휨 파괴로의 파괴 양상 변화를 보이는 것으로 보고되고 있다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 기존연구결과 및 총 10개의 실험체를 대상으로 철근콘크리트 기둥에 대한 강섬유의 전단보강 효과를 평가하였다. 실험결과, 강섬유 혼입율 1.5 %에서 전단강도 증진효과가 가장 우수한 것으로 평가되었으며, 연성능력의 증진도 우수한 것으로 평가되었다. 그러나, 강도 및 연성능력 증진에 비하여 강성 및 에너지 소산 능력에 대한 강섬유 보강효과는 다소 미흡한 것으로 평가되었다.

Corrosion of steel reinforcement is a principal cause of deterioration of RC columns. Making these corrosion-damaged columns conform to new safety regulations and functions is a tremendous technological challenge. This study presented an experimental investigation on steel-concrete jacketed corrosion-damaged RC columns. The influences of steel jacket thickness and concrete strength on the enhancement performance of the strengthened specimens were investigated. The results showed that the use of steel-concrete jacketing is efficient since the stub strengthened columns behaved in a more ductile manner. Moreover, the ultimate strength of the corrosion-damaged RC columns is increased by an average of 5.3 times, and the ductility is also significantly improved by the strengthening method. The bearing capacity of the strengthening columns increases with the steel tube thickness increasing, and the strengthening concrete strength has a positive impact on both bearing capacity, whereas a negative influence on the ductility. Subsequently, a numerical model was developed to predict the behavior of the retrofitted columns. The model takes into account corrosion-damage of steel rebar and confining enhancement supplied by the steel tube. Comparative results with the experimental results indicated that the developed numerical model is an effective simulation. Based on extensive verified numerical studies, a design equation was proposed and found to predict well the ultimate eccentric strength of the strengthened columns.

Bulk metallic glass (BMG) shows higth strength, high elastic limit, corrosion resistance and good wear resistance and soft magnetic properties and has been considering as a candidate for new structural materials. But they show limited macroscopic plasticity and lack of tensile ductility due to highly localized shear deformation, which should be solved for real structural application. In this paper researches on the enhancement of plasticity of BMG were reviewed briefly. Introducing heterogeneous structure in glass is effective to induce more shear transformation zones (STZs) active for multiple shear band initiation and also to block the propagating shear band. Several methods such as BMG alloy design for high Poisson's ratio, addition of alloying element having positive heat of mixing, pre-straining BMG and variety of BMG composites have been developed for homogenous distribution of locally weak region, where local strain can be initiated. Therefore enhancement of plasticity of BMG is normally accompanied with some penalty of strength loss.

편심 하중을 받는 철근 콘크리트 기둥에서 띠철근과 콘크리트 강도의 영향을 파악하기 위하여 콘크리트 압축강도, 띠철근 배근간격 및 형상, 편심비를 주요 변수로 하여 단면 $200mm{\times}200mm$의 시험체 24개를 실험하였다. 이러한 연구를 통하여 콘크리트 기둥은 편심거리비, 띠철근 배근간격, 띠철근 배근형태 등에 관계없이 콘크리트 강도가 증가할수록 취성적으로 거동하였고, 편심거리비가 증가할수록 띠철근 배근에 의한 연성 증가 효과는 감소함을 알 수 있었다. 띠철근 배근간격이 100mm에서 30mm로 줄어들 경우, 최대 내력은 10~20% 증가하였으며, 최대 내력 이후에도 보다 연성적으로 거동하였다. 그러므로 고강도 콘크리트 기둥에서 적당한 연성과 강도를 확보하기 위해서는 일반강도 콘크리트에 비하여 더 많은 띠철근 체적비와 밀실한 띠철근 배근이 필요하였으며, 띠철근 배근 간격만을 제한하는 현재의 대한건축학회 내진 기준은 고강도 콘크리트 사용 시 띠철근의 배근 효과와 부재 연성 확보 측면에서 불안전하였으며, 띠철근을 콘크리트 강도와 연계하는 새로운 내진 기준이 필요한 것으로 나타났다.

본 연구의 목적은 기둥의 내진성능을 개선하기 위한 연구로서, 섬유-강판이 복합된 보강재를 사용하여 보강기둥의 내력특성을 연구하였다. 이용 가능한 복합판의 보강량을 선정하고, 기존의 탄소섬유와 강판으로 보강한 기둥과 함께 밴드형 보강실험체를 제작하여 일정축력을 받는 기둥에 반복횡하중을 가하여 하중, 변의 및 연성도를 조사하였다. 내진성능의 척도가 되는 변위연성도, 에너지연성도, 누적소산에너지 및 감쇠비를 비교하여 복합판을 사용한 부재의 내력특성을 평가하였다. 연구결과, 복합판을 사용하여 기둥을 보강할 경우에도 다른 보강방법과 같이 양호한 내진성능을 확보할 수 있었다. 또한, 밴드형식으로 보강한 보강실험체의 연성능력은 모두 양호한 편이나, 최대하중 증가를 위해서는 일정량 이상의 보강량이 필요한 것으로 나타났다. 연성도 평가로는 에너지연성도가 변위연성도에 비하여 보강기둥의 연성능력을 잘 나타내었다.
