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.

In modern buildings, glass is considered a structurally unsafe material due to its brittleness and unpredictable failure behavior. The possible use of structural glass elements (i.e., floors, beams and columns) is generally prevented by its poor tensile strength and a frequent occurrence of brittle failures. In this study an innovative modelling based on an equivalent thickness concept of laminated glass beam reinforced with FRP (Fiber Reinforced Polymer) composite material and of glass plates punched is presented. In particular, the novel numerical modelling applied to an embedding Carbon FRP-rod in the interlayer of a laminated structural glass beam is considered in order to increase both its failure strength, together with its post-failure strength and ductility. The proposed equivalent modelling of different specimens enables us to carefully evaluate the effects of this reinforcement. Both the responses of the reinforced beam and un-reinforced one are evaluated, and the corresponding results are compared and discussed. A novel equivalent modelling for reinforced glass beams using FRP composites is presented for FEM analyses in modern material components and proved estimations of the expected performance are provided. Moreover, the new suggested numerical analysis is also applied to laminated glass plates with wide holes at both ends for the technological reasons necessary to connect a glass beam to a structure. Obtained results are compared with an integer specimen. Experimental considerations are reported.

Steel plate or FRP materials have been typically used for the seismic retrofit of civil infrastructures. In order to overcome the limitation of each retrofitting material, a composite material, which takes advantages from both metal and fiber polymer materials, has been developed. In the study herein, the composite retrofitting material consists of metal part(steel or aluminum) and FRP sheet part(glass or carbon fiber). The metal part can enhance the ductility and the FRP part the ultimate strength. As a preliminary study to investigate the fundamental mechanical characteristics of the metal-FRP laminated composite material this study performed the flexural fracture test with various experimental variables including the number, the angle and the combination of FRP laminates. From the aluminum-FRP composite tests no great increase in flexural strength and flexural toughness were observed. However, flexural toughness of steel-FRP laminate composite was increased so that its behavior can be considered in the retrofit design. In addition, the angle and the kind of fibers should be carefully considered in conjunction with the expected loading conditions.

In general, steel-FRP laminate composite showed better tensile performance in regards to the seismic retrofit purposes.

The strength behaviors of Fiber Reinforced Plastics (FRP) Composites can be greatly influenced by the properties of constitutive materials, the laminate structures, and load conditions etc, accompanied by many uncertainty factors. So the reliability study on FRP is an important subject of research. Many achievements have been made in reliability studies based on the probability theory, but little has been done on the roles played by fuzzy variables. In this paper, a fuzzy reliability model for FRP laminates is established first, in which the loads are considered as random variables and the strengths as fuzzy variables. Then a numerical model is developed to assess the fuzzy reliability. The Monte Carlo simulation method is utilized to compute the reliability of laminas under the maximum stress criterion. In the second part of this paper, a generalized fuzzy reliability model (GFRM) is proposed. By virtue of the fact that there may exist a series of states between the failure state and the function state, a fuzzy assumption for the structure state together with the probabilistic assumption for strength parameters is adopted to construct the GFRM of composite materials. By defining a generalized limit state function, the problem is converted to the conventional reliability formula that enables the first-order reliability method (FORM) applicable in calculating the reliability index. Several examples are worked out to show the validity of the models and the efficiency of the methods proposed in this paper. The parameter sensitivity analysis shows that some of the mean values of the strength parameters have great influence on the laminated composites' reliability. The differences resulting from the application of different failure criteria and different fuzzy assumptions are also discussed. It is concluded that the GFRM is feasible to use, and can provide an effective and synthetic method to evaluate the reliability of a system with different types of uncertainty factors.

This work has been investigated in order to study the influence of the moisture absorption on the mechanical pf the glass fiber/epoxy resein composites and the carbon fiber/epoxy resein composites. The types of glass fiber used in the glass fiber/epoxy resein composites were randomly oriented fiber and plain fabric fiber. And carbon fiber.epoxy resein composites was laminated with fabric prepreg which was formed with carbon fiber and epoxy resein. Both composites were immersed up to 100 days in distilled water at $80^{\circ}C$, and then dried up to 3 days in an oven at 80$80^{\circ}C$. Both composites were measured for the weight gain of water(wt.%) and tensile strength through immersion and dry time. Consequently, it was found that the tensile strength of thw glass fiber/epoxy resein composites and the carbon fiber/epoxy resein composites were reduced proportionally to the moisture absortion rate. Also, the tensile strength of glass fiber composites was decreased more than that of the carbon fiber composites. Additionally, it was found that the tensile strength of all composites which decreased by moisture absorption were partly recovered by drying in an oven at 80$80^{\circ}C$.

This paper presents two sets of full three-dimensional thermoelastic finite element analyses of superimposed thermo-mechanically loaded Spar Wingskin Joints made with laminated Graphite Fiber Reinforced Plastic composites. The study emphasizes the influence of residual thermal stresses and material anisotropy on the inter-laminar delamination behavior of the joint structure. The delamination has been pre-embedded at the most likely location, i.e., in resin layer between the top and next ply of the fiber reinforced plastic laminated wingskin and near the spar overlap end. Multi-Point Constraint finite elements have been made use of at the vicinity of the delamination fronts. This helps in simulating the growth of the embedded delamination at both ends. The inter-laminar thermoelastic peel and shear stresses responsible for causing delamination damage due to a combined thermal and a static loading have been evaluated. Strain energy release rate components corresponding to the Mode I (opening), Mode II (sliding) and Mode III (tearing) of delamination are determined using the principle of Virtual Crack Closure Technique. These are seen to be different and non-self-similar at the two fronts of the embedded delamination. Residual stresses developed due to the thermoelastic anisotropy of the laminae are found to strongly influence the delamination onset and propagation characteristics, which have been reflected by the asymmetries in the nature of energy release rate plots and their significant variation along the delamination front.

섬유강화플라스틱(Fiber-reinforced plastic, FRP)은 복합재료 보트를 만드는 데 주 구조물로 사용되고 그것들 대부분은 몰드에서 만들어진다. 이러한 제품들은 몰드에서 분리될 때나 높은 온도의 환경에서 변형이 생긴다. 그러므로 다양한 제작 및 작동 조건에서 적층복합재료 구조물의 변형에 대한 실험적 조사 및 평가는 필수적이다. 불포화 폴리에스테르수지와 유리섬유를 이용하여 L-shape과 Curve-shape 시편을 제작하였다. 경화제 비율과 제작온도, 네 가지 작동온도가 입력인자(독립변수)로 사용되었고 출력인자는 시편에서 측정되는 변형이다. 결과로부터 경화제 비율이 높을수록 또한 제작온도가 높을수록 변형이 작게 생김을 알 수 있었다. 작동온도가 상승할 때 초기 변형 값에 따라 큰 변화를 보였다. 또한 변형 값이나 입력인자들은 회귀 방정식으로부터 예측할 수 있었다.

최근에 복합재료는 콘크리트, 집성보와 같은 기존의 구조재를 보강하여 성능을 향상시킬 목적으로 적용되고 있다. 특히, 대규모의 집성보 구조물은 춤이 큰 부재를 필요로 하는데 섬유보강판을 이용하여 보의 상하부를 보강하면 춤을 크게 하지 않고도 보의 강도와 강성을 증가시킬 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 집성보에 유리섬유보강 플라스틱판(GFRP)을 붙여 스팬 중앙에 집중하중을 가한 휨실험을 수행하였고 실험결과를 층간이론을 이용한 수치해석법과 비교하였다.
