A recent and promising method for shear strengthening of reinforced concrete(RC) members is the use of near surface mounted(NSM) fiber reinforced polymer(FRP) reinforcement. In the NSM method, the reinforcement is embedded in grooves cut onto the surface of the member to be strengthened and filled with an appropriate binding agent such as epoxy paste or cement grout. This paper illustrates a research program on shear strengthening of RC beams with NSM channel-type FRP beams which is developed in this study. The objective of this study is to clarify the role of channel-type FRP beam embedded to the beam web for shear strengthening of reinforced concrete beams. Included in the study are effectiveness in terms of spacing and angle of channel-type FRP beams, strengthening method, and shear span ratio. the study also aims to understand the additional shear capacity due to glass fiber reinforced polymer beams and carbon reinforced polymer beams. And anther objective is to study the failure modes, shear strengthening effect on ultimate force and load deflection behavior of RC beams embedded with channel-type FRP beams on the shear region of the beams.

Over the last decade fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) reinforcement consisting of glass, carbon, or aramid fibers embedded in a resin such as vinyl ester, epoxy, or polyester has emerged as one of the most promising and affordable solutions to the corrosion problems of steel reinforcement in structural concrete. But reinforcing rebar for concrete made of FRP rebar has linear elastic behavior up to tensile failure. For safety a certain plastic strain and an elongation greater than 3% at maximum load is usually required for steel reinforcement in concrete structures. The same should be required for FRP rebar. Thus, the main object of this study was to develop new type of hybrid FRP rebar Also, this study was evaluated to the mechanical properties of Hybrid FRP rebar. The Manufacture of the hybrid FRP rebar was achieved by pultrusion, and braiding and filament winding techniques. Tensile and interlaminar shear test results of Hybrid FRP rebar can provide its excellent tensile strength-strain behavior and interlaminar stress-strain behavior.

Recently, the Near-Surface-Mounting method using Fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) has been developed and applied to the reinforcement of many concrete structural members. However, as a part of the fire resistance design, there is a lack of research related to fire insulation for the areas reinforced with FRP. In case of NSM reinforcement, there is a difference in the transferred temperature from the external surface to the groove corresponding to the location of the groove where the FRP is embedded, and the effect of this should be reflected in the fireproof insulation design. Therefore, in this study, after forming grooves for surface embedding in concrete blocks, fireproof insulation reinforcement was performed using Calcium Silicate (CS) fireproof board and an experiment to evaluate the temperature transfer was performed. By observing the temperature at these groove positions, the reduction of temperature transfer according to fireproof insulation detail was studied. As a result, when the NSM-FRP is properly fire-insulated using the CS-based fireproof board, the epoxy inside the groove does not reach its glass transition temperature until the external temperature reaches $800^{\circ}C$.

In this study, experimental research was carried out to evaluate the seismic performance of reinforced concrete exterior beam-column joint regions using hybrid retrofitting with AFRP sheets and embedded CFRP reinforcements in existing reinforced concrete building. Therefore it was constructed and tested three specimens retrofitting the beam-column joint regions using such retrofitting materials. Specimens, designed by retrofitting the beam-column joint regions of existing reinforced concrete structure, were showed the stable failure mode and increase of load-carrying capacity due to the effect of crack control at the times of initial loading and confinement of retrofitting materials during testing. Specimens RBCJ-SRA3 designed by the retrofitting of AFRP sheets and embedded CFRP reinforcements in reinforced exterior beam-column joint regions were increased its maximum load carrying capacity by 1.86 times and its energy dissipation capacity by 1.65 times in comparison with standard specimen RBCJ for a displacement ductility of 5.

염해에 노출이 심한 구조물이나 교량의 상판의 보강철근 부식으로 인한 콘크리트 구조물의 구조성능 및 내구성능의 저하가 큰 문제로 대두되고 있다. 이에 최근 활발히 연구가 진행 중인 섬유보강근(Fiber Reinforced Polymer Bar, 이하 FRP 보강근)은 높은 화학적 내구성, 고강도, 경량성 등에 의하여 철근을 대체할 콘크리트 보강재로 그 가치를 인정받아 미국, 유럽, 캐나다 등에서는 이미 FRP 보강근의 설계지침서가 발표되었다. 하지만 아직 FRP 보강근을 이형철근과 같이 높은 신뢰성을 가지는 보강재로 사용하기에는 파악해야할 구조적 문제가 많이 있는데 그 중 하나가 콘크리트와의 부착성능이다. FRP 보강근의 부착성능은 콘크리트 압축강도에 크게 영향을 받는 이형철근과 달리 섬유종류, 외피 표면 상태 등 여러 가지 요소에 의한 복합적 영향을 받는 부착특성을 보인다. 이에 본 연구에서는 외피 표면 상태, 콘크리트 압축강도, 반복하중 작용 등을 변수로 하는 GFRP 보강근으로 보강된일 방향 인장-인발 시편의 부착실험을 통하여 GFRP 보강근의 부착특성을 관찰하고자 하였다. 실험 결과 콘크리트 압축강도의 증가에 따라 GFRP 보강근의 부착강도는 증가하였으며 반복하중의 작용에 의하여 단조하중에서의 부착강도에 비하여 GFRP 보강근의 부착강도는 감소하는 결과를 보였다.

Fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) applications in the structural engineering field include concrete-FRP composite systems, where FRP components are either attached to or embedded into concrete structures to improve their structural performance. This paper presents the results of an analytical study conducted using finite element model (FEM) to simulate the behavior of three-points load beam reinforced with GFRP and/or steel bars. To calibrate the FEM, a small-scale experimental program was carried out using six reinforced concrete beams with $200{\times}200mm$ cross section and 1000 mm length cast and tested under three point bending load. The six beams were divided into three groups, each group contained two beams. The first group was a reference beams which was cast without any reinforcement, the second group concrete beams was reinforced using GFRP, and the third group concrete beams was reinforced with steel bars. Nonlinear finite element simulations were executed using ANSYS software package. The difference between the theoretical and experimental results of beams vertical deflection and beams crack shapes were within acceptable degree of accuracy. Parametric study using the calibrated model was carried out to evaluate two parameters (1) effect of number and position of longitudinal main bars on beam behavior; (2) performance of concrete beam with composite longitudinal reinforcement steel and GFRP bars.

FRP Hybrid Bar는 내부에 강재를 유리섬유와 에폭시 수지가 코팅된 형태로 사용되는데, 인장경화 성능이 있으며, 경량이므로 효과적인 보강재료로 사용될 수 있다. 자외선 및 동결융해에 노출된 에폭시는 표면 열화가 발생하기 쉬우며, 이는 매립된 철근 및 표면의 콘크리트와의 부착력 저하를 야기할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 일반철근, FRP Hybrid Bar 및 자외선(UV) 폭로시험을 거친 FRP Hybrid Bar의 외관특성분석을 실시하였다. 또한 각 보강재를 사용하여 콘크리트 인발 공시체를 제조하였으며, 동결융해시험을 실시해 Cycle에 따른 부착성능을 분석하였다. FRP Hybrid Bar는 UV 폭로시험 후에도 표면 산화(Chalking)와 같은 에폭시계 재료의 열화가 나타나지 않았다. 동결융해시험은 120Cycle 및 180Cycle까지 진행하였는데, UV 폭로시험 후 FRP Hybrid Bar를 사용한 공시체는 $241{\pm}kN$ 부착력을 가지고 있었다. 이는 일반철근 대비 약 106.3%수준으로 개선된 부착강도인데, FRP Hybrid Bar 표면의 규사코팅에 따라 부착면적이 증가했기 때문이다. 3가지 조건(일반철근, FRP Hybrid Bar, UV 폭로시험 후의 FRP Hybrid Bar)에 대하여, 동결융해 Cycle이 증가함에 따라 부착력이 크게 감소하지는 않았으나, 코팅된 규사의 박락으로 인해 UV 시험 이후의 동결융해를 거친 조건에서는 실험 편차가 상대적으로 증가하였다.

In the present study, the various dynamic properties of MWCNT embedded fiber reinforced polymer uniform and tapered composite (MWCNT-FRP) plates are investigated. Various configurations of a tapered composite plate with ply-drop off and uniform composite plate have been considered for the development of the finite element formulation and experimental investigations. First order shear deformation theory (FSDT) has been used to derive the kinetic and potential energy equations of the hybrid composite plates by including the effect of rotary inertia, shear deformation and non-uniformity in thickness of the plate. The governing equations of motion of FRP composite plates without and with MWCNT reinforcement are derived by considering a nine- node rectangular element with five degrees of freedom (DOF) at each node. The effectiveness of the developed finite element formulation has been demonstrated by comparing the natural frequencies and damping ratio of FRP composite plates without and with MWCNT reinforcement obtained experimentally. Various parametric studies are also performed to study the effect of CNT volume fraction and CNT aspect ratio of the composite plate on the natural frequencies of different configurations of CNT reinforced hybrid composite plates. Further the forced vibration analysis is performed to compare the dynamic response of the various configurations of MWCNT-GFRP composite plate with GFRP composite plate under harmonic excitations. It was observed that the fundamental natural frequency and damping ratio of the GFRP composite plate increase approximately 8% and 37% respectively with 0.5wt% reinforcement of MWCNT under CFCF boundary condition. The natural frequencies of MWCNT-GFRP hybrid composite plates tend to decrease with the increase of MWCNT volume fraction beyond 2% due to agglomeration of CNT's. It is also observed that the aspect ratio of the CNT has negligible effect on the improvement of dynamics properties due to randomly orientation of CNT's.

RC(Reinforced Concrete) 부재는 인장영역에서 보강재가 하중을 지지해야 하므로, 철근부식은 내구성 뿐 아니라 안전성에서도 매우 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 최근 개발된 FRP Hybrid Bar와 일반 철근을 매립한 RC 보부재를 제작하였으며, ICM(Impressed Current Method)를 적용하여 철근부식을 촉진시켰다. 기존의 이론식인 Faraday 법칙을 이용하여 부식량을 평가하였으며, 일반설계강도를 가진 콘크리트 보부재에 대하여 휨시험을 수행하였다. 일반 철근에서는 부식량이 4.9~7.8% 수준으로 평가되었으며 이에 따른 휨 저항능력은 -25.4~-50.8% 수준으로 감소하였다. FRP Hybrid Bar를 매립한 RC 보에서는 부식과 휨 저항 감소가 평가되지 않았는데, 이는 에폭시 도료로 코팅된 철근의 우수한 내부식성에 기인한다. 촉진 부식실험에서는 FRP Hybrid Bar의 우수한 내부식성 및 부착성능을 확인하였는데, 실용화를 위해서는 장기적인 침지를 통한 내구성 평가가 필요하다고 판단된다.

이 연구에서는 콘크리트에 보강된 섬유의 종류 및 함유량이 FRP 보강근 부착강도에 미치는 효과를 조사하였다. 실험체는 3종류의 보강근과 구조용 강섬유, 절곡형 PP섬유와 친수성 PVA섬유를 사용하여 제작하였으며 직접부착 강도시험을 실시하여 부착강도를 평가하였다. 실험 결과 섬유의 종류 및 함유량에 따라 섬유보강 콘크리트와 보강근 사이의 부착강도에 영향을 미침을 알 수 있었다. 섬유의 가교효과로 인해 할렬균열을 제어함으로써 함유량이 증가함에 따라 부착강도가 증가하였으며, 연성 또한 증가하였다. 부착강도 및 연성증가 효과는 강섬유 > PVA섬유 > PP섬유 순으로 나타났다.
