This paper presents the analytical results on the seismic retrofit of circular bridge columns with poor lap-splice details using FRP jacket. The as-built column suffered brittle failure due to the deterioration of lap-spliced longitudinal reinforcement without developing its flexural capacity or ductility. The retrofitted columns using FRP jacket showed significant improvement in seismic performance due to FRP's confinement effect. FRP's confinement effect is predicted by the classical elasticity solution for the laminated circular tube manufactural with several layers, and induces the flexural failure instead of bondslip failure.

This paper presents the results of an experimental investigation on the compressive strength of small scale concentrically axially loaded fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) confined plain concrete columns, with cylinder concrete strength 19 MPa. For columns with circular (150-mm diameter) and square (150-mm side) cross sections wrapped with glass- and carbon-FRP sheets (GFRP and CFRP, respectively) applied with dry lay-up the effect of different jacket schemes and different overlap configurations on the confined characteristics is investigated. Test results indicate that the most cost effective jacket configuration among those tested is for one layer of CFRP, for both types of sections. In square sections the location of the lap length, either in the corner or along the side, does not seem to affect the confined performance. Furthermore, in circular sections, the presence of an extra wrap with FRP fibers parallel to the column's axis enhances the concrete strength proportionally to the axial rigidity of the FRP jacket. The recorded strains and the distributions of lateral confining pressures are discussed. Existing design equations are used to assess the lateral confining stresses and the confined concrete strength making use of the measured hoop strains.

In recent decades the strengthening of reinforced concrete (RC) structural elements using Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) has received much attention. The behavior of RC elements can vary from axial compression to pure bending, depending on their loading. When the compressive behavior is dominant, the FRP jacket application is common, but when the flexural behavior is prevalent, the codes consider the FRP jacket ineffective. Codes suggest applying FRP bars or strips as Near-surface Mounted (NSM) or Externally Bonded (EB) in the tensile face to strengthen the beams under flexure. To strengthen the columns in tension-control mode, some researchers have suggested NSM FRP bars in both tension and compression faces alone or with the FRP jacket (hybrid). However, the number of tests that evaluate the pure bending of the strengthened columns as one of the pivotal points of the axial force-moment interaction curve is limited. In this paper, 11 RC elements strengthened using the NSM (in both tension and compression faces) or hybrid method were subjected to bending to assess the effect of the amount and material type of the FRP bar and jacket and the dimensions of the groove. The test results revealed that the NSM method increased the flexural capacity of the members between 10% to 50%. Furthermore, using the hybrid method increased the capacity between 51% to 91%. Finally, an analytical model was presented considering the effect of the NSM FRP bond in different circumstances, and its results were in good agreement with the experimental results.

본 연구에서는, 기존 철근 콘크리트 구조물에 적용된 직접 변위-기반 설계법을 적용 FRP 피복 보강된 성능개선 콘크리트 부재에 대한 정밀 비선형 휨 해석 및 내진성능설계의 구체적 알고리즘을 제시하였다. 비선형 휨 해석의 정밀 예측을 위하여 콘크리트 및 FRP 복합재료의 다축 구성관계를 고려하였으며, Chopra 등 (1999)이 제안한 직접 변위-기반 설계법(DDM)을 개선하여 철근콘크리트 기둥에 대한 성능개선을 위한 FRP 피복 보강을 위한 성능설계 알고리즘을 제시하였다. 제시된 직접 변위-기반 설계법은, 변위계수법과 비교하여, 비선형 거동이 큰 경우에도 목표 변위 성능 값에 대한 정확한 추정을 해준다. 이는 변위계수법이 항복 이전의 유효탄성계수를 사용하는 반면, 직접 변위-기반 설계법은 유효탄할선탄성계수를 고려하고 있어, 목표 변위에 따른 성능설계 평가에 있어서 보다 높은 연성비의 거동을 반영하고 있기 때문인 것으로 평가된다.

In the current research, a displacement-based seismic design scheme to retrofit reinforced concrete columns using FRP composite materials has been proposed. An accurate prediction for the nonlinear flexural analysis of FRP jacketed concrete members has been presented under multiaxial constitutive laws of concrete and composite materials. Through modification of the displacement coefficient method (DCM) and the direct displacement-based design method (DDM) of reinforced concrete structures, two algorithms for a performance-based seismic retrofit design of reinforced concrete columns with a FRP jacket have been newly introduced. From applications to retrofit design it is known that two methods are easy to apply in retrofit design and the DCM procedure underestimates the target displacement to compare with the DDM procedure.

콘크리트 공시편의 외부보강을 위해서 강판과 FRP 자켓을 이용하였다. 기존의 강판 또는 FRP 자켓 보강기법은 보강재와 콘크리트 사이에 접착제를 이용하여 시공하므로 콘크리트와 보강재가 합성거동 하게 된다. 그러나 본 연구에서 사용한 강판 보강기법은 외부압착에 의한 기법으로 강판과 콘크리트가 합성거동을 하지 않는다. 본 연구에서는 비합성거동과 합성거동을 하는 보강된 콘크리트 시편의 압축 변형률의 측정과 이를 보정하는 기법을 제시하였다. 비합성거동의 강판보강 콘크리트 시편의 압축변형률 측정은 강판의 표면에서 변형률을 측정하여 표시할 수 없으며, 시편에 설치하여 측정하는 compressometer를 사용할 수도 없었다. 따라서 시편의 상하단에 두꺼운 판을 설치하여 두 판사이의 변형을 측정한 후. 이를 압축변형률로 변환하였다. 합성 거동을 하는 FRP 보강의 경우는 FRP 튜브 표면에서 측정되는 수직방향의 변형률을 콘크리트의 압축변형률로 사용이 가능하다. 그러나 튜브 표면의 수직변형률은 시편의 부풀음에 의한 인장변형률이 포함되어 있기 때문에 콘크리트의 압축변형률을 추정하기 위해서는 이를 보정하여야 한다. 보정된 압축변형률은 콘크리트 내부에서 측정한 변형률과 기존의 콘크리트 연속체 모델과 비교하였을 때, 만족한 결과를 보였다. 보정 전의 응력-변형률 곡선은 콘크리트의 연성거동 및 에너지 소산능력을 보정 전에 비해 낮게 평가할 위험성이 있다.

This paper presents experimental and analytical results of fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) confined steel tubular columns under transverse impact loads. Influences of applied impact energy, thickness of FRP jacket and impact position were discussed in detail, and then the impact responses of FRP confined steel tubes were compared with bare steel tubes. The test results revealed that the FRP jacket contributes to prevent outward buckling deformation of steel at the clamped end and inward buckling of steel at the impact position. For the given applied impact energy, specimens wrapped with one layer and three layers of FRP have the lower peak impact loads than those of the bare steel tubes, whereas specimens wrapped with five layers of FRP exhibit the higher peak impact loads. All the FRP confined steel tubular specimens displayed a longer duration time than the bare steel tubes under the same magnitude of impact energy, and the specimen wrapped with one layer of FRP had the longest duration time. In addition, increasing the applied impact energy leads to the increase of peak impact load and duration time, whereas increasing the distance of impact position from the clamped end results in the decrease of peak impact load and the increase of duration time. The dynamic analysis software Abaqus Explicit was used to simulate the mechanical behavior of FRP confined steel tubular columns, and the numerical results agreed well with the test data. Analytical solution for lateral displacement of an equivalent cantilever beam model subjected to impact load was derived out. Comparison of analytical and experimental results shows that the maximum displacement can be precisely predicted by the present theoretical model.

In recent years, due to some excellent properties of fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composites, the use of FRP sheets for strengthening the weak concrete columns have become increasingly popular. Axial loading is the basic assumption in most of the models that are presented for estimating the compression strength of confined concrete columns. However a large number of weak concrete columns in the bending frames are under the combination of both axial and flexural loads. This paper presents the results of an experimental study on the effects of eccentricity of load on the compressive strength of concrete columns confined by FRP sheets. This research shows that the eccentricity of compression load affects decreasingly the performance of confining FRP jacket in confined columns.

The present study focuses on the mechanical behaviour of concrete filled double skin steel tubular (CFDST) stub columns confined by fiber reinforced polymer (FRP). A series of axial compression tests have been conducted on two CFDST stub columns, eight CFDST stub columns confined by FRP and a concrete-filled steel tubular (CFST) stub column confined by FRP, respectively. The influences of hollow section ratio, FRP wall thickness and fibre longitudinal-circumferential proportion on the load-strain curve and the concrete stress-strain curve for stub columns with annular section were discussed. The test results displayed that the FRP jacket can obviously enhance the carrying capacity of stub columns. Based on the test results, a new model which includes the effects of confinement factor, hollow section ratio and lateral confining pressure of the outer steel tube was proposed to calculate the compressive strength of confined concrete. Using the present concrete strength model, the formula to predict the carrying capacity of CFDST stub columns confined by FRP was derived. The theoretically predicted results agree well with those obtained from the experiments and FE analysis. The present method is also adapted to calculate the carrying capacity of CFST stub columns confined by FRP.
