FRP 보강근은 현장 가공이 용이하지 않고 만곡부에서 강도가 저하되는 등 전단보강근으로 사용하기에는 해결해야 할 문제점이 많다. 전단보강을 필요로 하지 않는 구조요소에 FRP 보강근을 휨보강근으로 사용하는 것은 별 어려움 없이 적용할 수 있다. 교량 바닥판이나 복개시설의 슬래브 등은 대부분 판상 구조로 전단보강이 없는 부재들이며, FRP 보강근을 휨보강근으로 사용하는 경우에는 RC구조에 비하여 전단강도가 높지 않은 특성이 있다. 그러나 이러한 형식의 구조물에 대한 신뢰성 있는 전단강도 산정 기준이 확립되지 않은 상태이다. 이 연구에서는 FRP RC의 전단거동을 관찰한 선행연구 결과와 함께 문헌 조사를 통하여 관련 자료 211개를 축적하고, 각국의 전단강도 산정 기준과 비교 검토하였다. 분석 결과 AIJ, ISE 기준이 가장 우수하였으며, ACI 440.1R-06의 기준은 보수적인 설계를 제공하지만 분산 정도는 ISE와 유사하여 항상 일관성 있는 예측 값을 주는 장점이 있었다. 합리적인 새로운 전단강도식을 개발하기 위하여 표본자료의 전단강도를 가장 잘 설명할 수 있는 회귀모형을 구축하였으며 기존 설계식과 비교 검토하였다. 구축된 회귀모형을 기반으로 정확도가 높고 분산도가 작은 새로운 전단강도식을 제안하였다.

Despite many advantages of FRP materials, such as corrosion resistance, their linear elastic behavior up to rupture is likely to result in a lack of ductility. This paper discusses ductility improvement methods for prestressed concrete beams using FRP tendons. The methods were evaluated thorough extensive analytical and experimental investigations. The methods include optimization of sectional ductility through proper reinforcement, concrete confinement, concrete reinforcement with fibers, and prestressing with unbonded tendons.

The present study experimentally and analytically investigates the effect of tensile reinforcement ratio and arrangement on the behavior of FRP strengthened reinforced concrete (RC) beams. The experimental part of the program was comprised of 8 RC beams that were tested under four-point bending. Results have shown that by keeping the total cross-section area of tensile reinforcing bars constant, in specimens with a low reinforcement ratio, increasing the number and decreasing the diameter of bars in the section lead to 21% and 29% increase in the load-carrying capacity of specimens made with normal and high compressive strength, respectively. In specimens with high reinforcement ratio, a different behavior was observed. Furthermore, the accuracy of the existing code provisions and analytical models in predicting the load-carrying capacity of the FRP strengthened beams failed by premature debonding mode were evaluated. Herein, a model is proposed which considers the tensile reinforcement ratio (as opposed to code provisions) to achieve more accurate results for calculating the load carrying capacity of FRP strengthened RC beams.

The use of fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) reinforcement in concrete structures has been on the rise due to its advantages over conventional steel reinforcement such as corrosion. Reinforcing steel corrosion has been the primary cause of deterioration of reinforced concrete (RC) structures, resulting in tremendous annual repair costs. One application of FRP reinforcement to be further explored is its use in RC frames. Nonetheless, due to FRP's inherently elastic behavior, FRP-reinforced (FRP-RC) members exhibit low ductility and energy dissipation as well as different damage mechanisms. Furthermore, current design standards for FRP-RC structures do not address seismic design in which the beam-column joint is a key issue. During an earthquake, the safety of beam-column joints is essential to the whole structure integrity. Thus, research is needed to gain better understanding of the behavior of FRP-RC structures and their damage mechanisms under seismic loading. In this study, two full-scale beam-column joint specimens reinforced with steel and GFRP configurations were tested under quasi-static loading. The control steel-reinforced specimen was detailed according to current design code provisions. The GFRP-RC specimen was detailed in a similar scheme. The damage in the two specimens is characterized to compare their performance under simulated seismic loading.

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 the shear strengthening with FRP sheets, beams are wrapped around the webs and tension face of critical shear span by fiber sheets. The shear strength of RC beam strengthened with FRP sheets must be calculated based on the effective strain that can be developed in the FRP sheets at ultimate stage because the final failure modes of beams are governed by premature debonding of FRP sheet due to the limitation of bonded length by beam depth. An experimental study is carried out to evaluate the shear strengthening effect of AFRP or GFRP sheets with respect to shear reinforcement ratio of rebar. From the test results, it was found that the additional shear strength provided by GFRP or AFRP can be estimated by $p_w{\cdot}f_w$ based on the maximum effective strain of FRP sheet $4,000m{\mu}$ proposed by ACI 440 committee.

A wide range of experimental bases and improved performance with different forms of Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) have attracted researchers to produce eco-friendly and sustainable structures. The reinforced concrete (RC) beam's shear capacity has remained a complex phenomenon because of various parameters affecting. Design recommendations for the shear capacity of RC elements having FRP reinforcement need a more experimental database to improve design recommendations because almost all the recommendations replace different parameters with FRP's. Steel and FRP are fundamentally different materials. One is ductile and isotropic, whereas the other is brittle and orthotropic. This paper presents experimental results of the investigation on the beams with glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) reinforcement as longitudinal bars and stirrups. Total twelve beams with GFRP reinforcement were prepared and tested. The cross-section of the beams was rectangular of size 230 × 300 mm, and the total length was 2000 mm with a span of 1800 mm. The beams are designed for simply-supported conditions with the two-point load as per specified load positions for different beams. Flexural reinforcement provided is for the balanced conditions as the beams were supposed to test for shear. Two main variables, such as shear span and spacing of stirrups, were incorporated. The beams were designed as per American Concrete Institute (ACI) ACI 440.1R-15. Relation of VExp./VPred. is derived with axial stiffness, span to depth ratio, and stirrups spacing, from which it is observed that current design provisions provide overestimation, particularly at lower stirrups spacing.

In recent years, FRP plates have been studied for flexural reinforcement of RC structures due to easy installation and good quality control. This study presents experimental results for the effectiveness of flexural reinforcement of the RC beams using thin CFRP and GFRP stripe made by the pultrusion process. For the selected FRP strips of various thicknesses and widths, it was demonstrated that both flexural strength and ductility were considerably increased with relatively easy installation when compared to the other methods used for the composite reinforcement.

Fiber reinforced plastic (FRP) rods are used as reinforcement (prestressed or not) to concrete. FRP composites can also be combined with steel to form hybrid reinforcing rods that take advantage of the properties of both materials. In order to effectively utilize these rods, their bond behavior with concrete must be understood. The objective of this study is to characterize and model the bond behavior of hybrid FRP rods made with epoxy-impregnated aramid or poly-vinyl alcohol FRP skins directly braided onto a steel core. The model closely examines the split failure of the concrete by quantifying the relationship between slip of the rods resulting transverse stress field in concrete. The model is used to derive coefficients of friction for these rods and, from these, their development length requirements. More testing is needed to confirm this model, but in the interim, it may serve as a design aide, allowing intelligent decisions regarding concrete cover and development length. As such, this model has helped to explain and predict some experimental data from concentric pull-out tests of hybrid FRP rods.

본 논문은 CFRP 격자 보강재로 보강한 콘크리트 슬래브의 파괴형태와 보강설계기준에 대한 연구이다. 실험 연구에서 채택한 시험변수로는 CFRP 격자 보강재의 양, 보강 모르타르의 깊이, 앵커핀의 유무, 압축부 보강 등이다. 연구에 의하면 CFRP 격자 섬유 보강량에 따라 파괴형태가 다르게 나타났는데 낮은 보강수준에서는 FRP 격자의 인장 파단파괴를 보였고 보통의 보강정도에서는 격자층 계면전단파괴가 발생하였다. 높은 보강량을 가진 슬래브에서는 사인장전단파괴 형태를 나타냈다. 보강 효과는 FRP 격자 보강재의 양이 증가할수록 증대하였으나 취성 전단파괴에 의해 연성은 감소되었다. 따라서 FRP 격자 보강량을 제한함으로써 갑자기 하중 지지력을 상실하는 전단파괴를 피할 수 있다. 파괴형태 중 CFRP 파단파괴가 바람직한데 그 이유는 섬유파단 후에도 극한상태에서 보강 전 슬래브의 하중지지력과 연성을 가지고 있기 때문이다. 마지막으로 본 논문은 CFRP 격자섬유보강설계기준과 과정을 제시하고 있다.
