The research reported in this paper provides the test results of eleven reinforced concrete beams strengthened with FRP composites. Three parameters were considered in this investigation: the amount of FRP composites, the types of bonding schemes(continuous sheets or strips), and the material types of FRP composites (Carbon or Glass). The experimental results indicated that because the rupture strain of FRP composites was relatively higher that the yield strain of steel bars, the RC beams strengthened with FRP composites failed due to concrete crushing before the FRP composites arrived at its rupture strain. The compatibility-aided truss model showed reasonable agreement between the predicted and experimental shear stress-strain curves of the beams throughout the entire loading history.

A decade ago, the technology of strengthening structures using FRP composites was primitive, with very few publications. Nowadays, the potential growth of research is achieved to the wide recognition of the importance of this new technology. In fact, significant practical applications have been preceded and the development of design methods have been achieved. However, the specific design methods for each applications are still lack of design skills in spite of the wide applications of FRP composites in the construction industry. The purpose of this paper is to report the development of design methods for FRP-strengthened structures by technical review design methods and guidelines of fiber reinforced composites.

In the past, the technology of strengthening structures using FRP composites was still in its infancy, with very few publications on the technology available. However, recently strengthening of Reinforced concrete (RC) and other structures using advanced fibre-reinforced polymer/plastic(FRP) composites has become very popular in the last few years. As the well-known advantages of FRP composites including both good corrosion resistence and ease for site handling due to their light weight, also its design methods have been ensured the safe and economic use of this new technology, FRPs have been used widely and demonstrated in the field of aero industries etc. The purpose of this paper is to report the examples of the many diverse applications of Fiber Reinforced Plastic in construction materials of structures.

In recent years, the use of FRP composites to repair and strengthen existing reinforced concrete (RC) structures has been widely used. When the columns of existing RC structures are wrapped with FRP composites, the core concrete of such columns is confined not only by the FRP composites but also by the existing steel reinforcing ties (or spirals). Therefore, it is necessary to understand correctly the compressive response of concrete confined with both steel spirals and FRP composites in order to predict the behavior of such RC columns. This paper proposes a model to predict the compressive stress-strain curves of concrete confined with FRP and steel reinforcing ties.

Fiber reinforced plastic (FRP) composites and ceramic matrix composites (CMC) which contain electrically conductive phases have been designed and fabricated to introduce the detection capability of damage/fracture detection into these materials. The composites were made electrically conductive by adding carbon and TiN particles into FRP and CMC, respectively. The resistance of the conductive FRP containing carbon particles showed almost linear response to strain and high sensitivity over a wide range of strains. After each load-unload cycle the FRP retained a residual resistance, which increased with applied maximum stress or strain. The FRP with carbon particles embedded in cement (mortar) specimens enabled micro-crack formation and propagation in the mortar to be detected in situ. The CMC materials exhibited not only sensitive response to the applied strain but also an increase in resistance with increasing number of load-unload cycles during cyclic load testing. These results show that it is possible to use these composites to detect and/or fracture in structural materials, which are required to monitor the healthiness or safety in industrial applications and public constructions.

최근 국내에서도 지진의 발생 가능성이 증가하는 추세이며 교량 및 터널 등의 시설물에 대한 지진과 같은 예상하지 못한 작용하중에 대한 안전성을 강화하고 있다. 특히, 1988년 이전 건설된 도시철도 시설물의 대부분은 내진설계가 반영되지 않아 지진하중에 대해 취약할 수 있으므로, 내진안전성에 대한 검토와 보강이 요구되고 있다. 이 연구에서는 도시철도 개착식 터널의 내진성능 향상을 도모하고자, 구조적 취약부분인 내측 기둥에 내진보강을 위한 새로운 FRP-연성재 적층복합체를 제안하였다. 적층조건에 따른 FRP-연성재 적층복합체에 대한 실험을 통해 재료물성치를 산출하여, 이를 근간으로 수치모델을 작성하였다. 수치해석을 통해 제안된 보강재로 보강된 RC기둥의 내진성능이 증대됨을 알 수 있었다. 또한 섬유보강재의 적층조건 (연성재의 종류, FRP 적층수, 섬유배향각)에 따라 성능 향상의 차이가 있는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

To improve the properties of FRP composite materials, the hybrid prepreg with non-woven tissue (NWT) is developed. The hybrid prepreg consists of undirectional prepreg and NWT prepreg. The NWT prepreg is made by compounding the NWT and polymer resin, which is similar to the production method of FRP prepreg. The NWT has short fibers which are discretely distributed with in-plane random orientation. The stiffness and strength of NWT composites are lower than those of continuously fibrous composites. The strengthening technique and fabricating technique for the hybrid prepreg are described in this work. The mechanical characteristics of hybrid composites with NWT are discussed and compared with those of the FRP composites.

Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites are considered suitable candidates for structural materials of spacecrafts due to their excellent properties of high strength, light weight, and corrosion resistance. An online health monitoring method for FRP composites must be applied to space structures. However, the application of existing health monitoring methods to space structures is limited due to the harsh space environment. Here, carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites embedded with fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensors were prepared to explore the feasibility of strain monitoring using embedded FBG sensors in γ-radiation environment. The analysis of the influence of radiation on the strain monitoring demonstrated that the embedded FBG can be successfully applied to the health monitoring of FRP composites in radiation environment.

욕조 생산시 발생하는 폐 FRP와 냉장고 등 가전품과 폐단열재로부터 발생하는 폐우레탄폼을 흡음 및 경량판재로 재활용하기 위하여 불포화 폴리에스테르 매트릭스 수지에 보강하여 복합재를 제조하였다. 또한 충진제의 함량의 변화가 복합재의 기계적 물성에 미치는 영향과 기지와 보강재간의 계면현상을 관찰하였다. 충진제의 함량이 70 wt%인 복합재의 인장강도는 82.34 MPa로 가장 우수하였으며, 인장탄성율은 보강재의 함량이 증가함에 따라 감소하였다. 또한 굴곡강도와 굴곡탄성율은 폐FRP의 함량이 70 wt%충진된 복합재가 가장 우수하였으며, 그 값은 각각 72.5, 958.4 MPa이었다. SEM 관찰 결과 70 wt% 충진된 충진제 매트릭스 수지의 계면에서 pull out 현상이 확인되지 않았으며 균열도 발생하지 않았고, 매트릭스 수지내에 충진된 폐 FRP/우레탄폼 충진제가 잘 분산되어 있음을 확인할 수 있었다.

Fiberglass-Reinforced Plastic (FRP) composites have been used for small fishing boats and leisure boats for many years. These composites have different physical characteristics, depending on the constitution of lay-up and manufacturing method. Recently, new manufacturing methods, such as vacuum infusion, have been used to make the composites lighter and stronger. In this research, the mechanical properties of fiberglass reinforcements with constitution of lay-up, manufacturing method, and two different resins were investigated experimentally. It was found that the mechanical properties of FRP composites increased with increasing thickness, with the use of vacuum infusion method, and with the use of vinyl ester resin. The mechanical properties of diverse FRP composites can be used as a practical guide for selecting appropriate materials for specific applications.
