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 tensile test with various experimental variables including the number, the angle and the combination of FRP laminates. From the test results, both aluminum and steel-FRP laminate composite material showed increased fracture toughness. However, 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.

This paper presents the experimental results of flexural and compression steel members strengthened with carbon fiber reinforced polymers (CFRP) sheets. In the flexural test, the five specimens were fabricated and the test parameters were the number of CFRP ply and the ratio of partial-length bonded CFRP sheets of specimen. The CFRP sheet strengthened steel beam had failure mode: CFRP sheet rupture at the mid span of steel beams. A maximum increase of 11.3% was achieved depending on the number of CFRP sheet ply and the length of CFRP sheet. In the compression test, the nine specimens were fabricated and the main parameters were: width-thickness ratio (b/t), the number of CFRP ply, and the length of the specimen. From the tests, for short columns it was observed that two sides would typically buckle outward and the other two sides would buckle inward. Also, for long columns, overall buckling was observed. A maximum increase of 57% was achieved in axial-load capacity when 3 layers of CFRP were used to wrap HSS columns of b/t = 60 transversely.

This paper was aimed to investigate the shear strengthening effect of the pre-loaded reinforced concrete beams strengthened by carbon fiber sheet (CFS) & steel plate. Main test parameters were the magnitude of pre-loading at the time of the retrofit, the strengthening methods of carbon fiber sheet and aid ratio. A series of seventeen specimens was tested to evaluate the corresponding effect of each parameters such as maximum load capacity, load-deflection relationship, load-strain relationship and failure mode. As a result, using the steel plate can increase the capacity of not only shear but also bending moment.

최근 지진, 노후화 등에 따라 손상된 많은 콘크리트 구조물을 보강하기 위하여 고강도이면서 가볍고 내구성이 뛰어난 특성을 가지고 있는 FRP(Fiber-reinforced polymer) 시트가 구미에서 뿐만 아니라 우리나라에서도 널리 사용되고 있으며 관련연구도 활발히 체계적으로 이루어지고 있다. 일반적으로 FRP 시트로 보강된 RC구조물은 지진, 교통, 온도 등에 의해 자주 반복하중을 받는다. 그러나 대부분의 연구가 일축 하중하에 이루어진 경우가 대부분이며 이러한 연구결과를 토대로 FRP의 부착특성을 확인하고 있으며 다양한 부착모델을 제안하고 있다. 이러한 관점에서 본 연구에서는 아라미드섬유, 탄소섬유, 폴리아세탈 섬유와 매수를 변수로 하여 총 18개의 시험체를 제작하고 최대부착강도, 최대변위, 변형률을 측정하고 그 결과에 근거하여 부착응력, 슬립을 계산하여 반복하중하의 FRP 시트와 콘크리트의 부착특성을 미시적으로 살펴보았다.

This paper experimentally investigates the seismic performance of RC columns retrofitted with Super Reinforcement with Flexibility (SRF), which is a polyester fiber reinforced polymer. A total of three specimens with a scale factor of 1/2 were constructed and tested in order to assess the structural behavior of the retrofitted RC columns. One specimen was a non-seismically designed column without any retrofit, while others were retrofitted with either one or two layers of the polyester belt with urethane as the adhesive. Static cyclic testing with a constant axial load was conducted to assess the seismic performance of the retrofitted RC columns. It is concluded that the SRF retrofitting method increases the strength and ductility of the RC columns and can also impact on the failure mode of the columns.

This paper presents the experimental results of axially loaded stub columns of slender steel hollow square section (SHS) strengthened with carbon fiber reinforced polymers (CFRP) sheets. 9 specimens were fabricated and the main parameters were: width-thickness ratio (b/t), the number of CFRP ply, and the CFRP sheet orientation. From the tests, it was observed that two sides would typically buckle outward and the other two sides would buckle inward. A maximum increase of 33% was achieved in axial-load capacity when 3 layers of CFRP were used to wrap HSS columns of b/t = 100 transversely. Also, stiffness and ductility index (DI) were compared between un-retrofitted specimens and retrofitted specimens. Finally, it was shown that the application of CFRP to slender sections delays local buckling and subsequently results in significant increases in elastic buckling stress. In the last section, a prediction formula of the ultimate strength developed using the experimental results is presented.

This study investigates the structural behavior of cracked or uncracked RC columns retrofitted with CFS and evaluates the shear retrofit performance through experiment. Experimental works were conducted for sixth specimens varied in the adhesion method of CFS, the ratio of shear reinforcement bar, and the existence of crack before retrofitting. Throughout cyclic test, the strength, stiffness, failure modes, and ductility are discussed. The test results show that the retrofitting method with CFS improve the shear strength and ductility. The crack width below 2mm, occurred before retrofitting, didn't reduce the shear strengthening effect.

CFS로 둘러싸서 외부에서 구속하는 방법은 정적 혹은 지진하중을 받는 철근콘크리트 기둥을 보강하는데 매우 효과적이다. 이러한 CFS 보강법의 신뢰성 있고 경제적인 설계를 위해서는 정확한 CFS 구속콘크리트의 응력-변형률 모델이 필요하게 된다. 본 연구에서는 사각단면을 갖는 단주 RC 기둥에 대해서 일축압축 실험을 실시하였다. CFS 면적비와 띠철근 면적비가 CFS로 구속된 콘크리트의 응력-변형률관계에 대한 구속 효과를 평가하기 위한 실험변수로서 고려되었다. 실험결과를 기초로 CFS로 구속된 콘크리트에 대한 새로운 응력-변형률 모델을 제안하였다. 제안 모델에서는 파괴 시 CFS에 발생하는 변형률을 계산하기 위한 방법이 검토되었으며 적절하게 고려되었다. 그 결과, 제안모델은 실험결과를 정확하게 예측하였다.

CFS 면적비, 나선철근 면적비, 그리고 콘크리트 압축강도가 CFS로 구속된 콘크리트의 응력-변형률관계에 대한 영향을 평가하기 위한 실험변수로서 고려되었다. 기둥을 CFS로 횡보강함으로서 콘크리트의 강도 및 연성이 크게 증가되었다. 또한, 나선철근이 배근된 실험체의 강도증가율은 CFS만으로 횡보강된 실험체보다 횡보강성능이 크고 작게 나타났다.

Many existing reinforced concrete (RC) columns in structures tend to become substandard RC ones due to updated standards or environmental changes. These substandard columns may alter the behaviors of the whole structure and therefore are in urgent need of seismic retrofitting. Owing to their superior advantages, carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites are widely used to retrofit RC columns. The applications mainly focus on various substandard RC columns, but few deals with substandard columns with deteriorated concrete, especially damaged by earthquake. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the seismic behaviors of CFRP reinforced partially deteriorated RC columns and to evaluate the effect of CFRP sheets on them. Six flexure-dominant columns were tested under a constant axial load and transverse cyclic displacements. It is found that the seismic behaviors of partially deteriorated columns can be recovered by wrapping CFRP sheets on them. Numerical analysis is then conducted using finite element methods and verified with experimental results. The effects of the axial load ratio, the ratio of the thickness of CFRP sheet to the column diameter, and the slenderness ratio on the seismic behaviors of CFRP reinforced RC columns are evaluated. Finally, a method is proposed to determine the required thickness of CFRP sheet.
