In this study a new innovative method of earthquake-resistant strengthening of reinforced concrete structures is presented for the first time. Strengthening according to this new method consists of the construction of steel fiber ultra-high-strength concrete jackets without conventional reinforcement which is usually applied in the construction of conventional reinforced concrete jackets. An innovative solution is proposed also for the first time that ensures a satisfactory seismic performance of existing reinforced concrete structures, strengthened by using composite materials. The weak point of the use of such materials in repairing and strengthening of old R/C structures is the area of beam-column joints. According to the proposed solution, the joints can be strengthened with a steel fiber ultra-high-strength concrete jacket, while strengthening of columns can be achieved by using CFRPs. The experimental results showed that the performance of the subassemblage strengthened with the proposed mixed solution was much better than that of the subassemblage retrofitted completely with CFRPs.

본 연구에서는 기존 철근콘크리트건물 보-기둥 접합부의 내진 성능을 개선하기 위하여 탄소섬유를 사용하여 구조물을 보강한 후 실험을 수행하였다. 이를 위하여 6개의 철근콘크리트 보-기둥 접합부를 제작하였으며, 지진하중과 같은 반복하중이 작용할 때 보강재료 및 보강영역 등을 변수로 하여 실험을 수행하여 각 보강변수에 따른 보강효과를 평가하였다. 본 실험을 통하여 구조물의 내진 성능 및 연성능력을 증진시킬 목적으로 새로운 보강재료(탄소섬유판, 탄소섬유봉, 탄소섬유쉬트)로 설계된 보강 실험체(RPC-CP2, RPC-CR, RJC-CP, RJC-CR)들은 내력증진은 물론이고 안정적인 이력거동을 확보할 수 있었다.

This study presents a mathematical model predicting the stress-strain behavior of fiber reinforced (FMMCs) and fiber/particle reinforced metal matrix composites (F/P MMCs). MMCs were fabricated by squeeze casting method using Al2O3 short fiber and particle as reinforcement, and A356 aluminum alloy as matrix. The fiber/particle ratios of F/P MMCs were 2:1, 1:1, 1:2 with the total reinforcement volume fraction of 20 vol.%, and the FMMCs were reinforced with 10 vol,%, 15 vol. %, 20 vol. % of fibers. Tensile tests were conducted and compared with predictions which were derived using laminate analogy theory and multi-failure model of reinforcements. Results show that the tensile strength of FMMCs with 10 vol.% of fiber was well matched with prediction, and as the fiber volume increases, predictions become larger than experimental results. The difference between the prediction and experiment is considered to be a result of matrix allowance of fiber damage in tensile loading. As the fiber volume fraction in FMMCs increases, the fiber damage increases and so that the tensile strength is reduced. The strength of F/P MMCs approaches more closely to the prediction than FMMCs reinforced with 20 vol.% of fibers because F/P MMCs contains small quantity of fibers and thus has a positive effect in fiber strengthening.

In this work, poly(ethylene oxide) nanofibers were fabricated by electrospinning to prepare nanofibers-reinforced composites. And the PEO powders-impregnated composites were also prepared to compare with physicochemical properties of nanofibers-reinforced composites. Morphology and fiber diameter of PEO nanofibers were determined by SEM observation. Mechanical interfacial properties of the composites were investigated in fracture toughness tests and interlaminar shear strength (ILSS) test. As a result, the fiber diameter decreased in increasing applied voltage. However the optimum condition for the fiber formation was 15 ㎸, resulting from increasing of jet instability at high voltage and the prepared PEO nanofibers were useful in fiber reinforced composites. The PEO-based nanofibers-reinforced composites showed an improvement of fracture toughness factors ($K_{IC} and G_{ IC}$) and ILSS, compared to the composites impregnated with PEO powders. These results were noted that the nanofibers had higher specific surface area and larger aspect ratio than those of the powder, which played an important role in improving the mechanical interfacial properties of the composites.

The contribution of steel fibers on the 28-day compressive strength of high-performance steel fiber reinforced concrete was investigated, is presented. An extensive experimentation was carried out over water-cementitious materials (w/cm) ratios ranging from 0.25 to 0.40, with silica fume-cementitious materials ratios from 0.05 to 0.15, and fiber volume fractions ($V_f$= 0.0, 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5%) with the aspect ratios of 80 and 53. Based on the test results of 44 concrete mixes, mathematical model was developed using statistical methods to quantify the effect of fiber content on compressive strength of HPSFRC in terms of fiber reinforcing index. The expression, being developed with strength ratios and not with absolute values of strengths, is independent of specimen parameters and is applicable to wide range of w/cm ratios, and used in the mix design of steel fiber reinforced concrete. The estimated strengths are within ${\pm}3.2%$ of the actual values. The model was tested for the strength results of 14 mixes having fiber aspect ratio of 53. On examining the validity of the proposed model, there exists a good correlation between the predicted values and the experimental values of different researchers. Equation is also proposed for the size effect of the concrete specimens.

선박의 평형수처리장치 전해조 내부 용액은 해수를 전기분해 시 DSA(Dimension Stable Anode) 전극에서 생성되는 수산화물로 인하여 높은 알칼리성 분위기를 생성한다. 본 연구에서는 기존 평형수처리장치 배관에 사용되어지는 PE 코팅 강관 배관의 취약성을 대체 가능한 복합재료로써 4가지 소재를 선정하였으며, 이들 BRE(Basalt fiber reinforced epoxy), BRP(Basalt fiber reinforced unsaturated polyester), GRE(Glass fiber reinforced epoxy), GRP(Glass fiber reinforced unsaturated polyester)를 강 알칼리성 NaOH 용액에 720시간 침지 후 마찰 및 마모 시험을 통하여 재료 마찰 깊이에 따른 마찰계수와 섬유와 수지 간 계면 결합 거동을 분석하였다. 그 결과, 수지와 섬유 간의 게면 분리 현상에 대한 메커니즘을 도출하였다. 또한, 불포화폴리에스테르와 같이 상대적으로 낮은 계면 결합력의 갖는 소재의 경우, 알칼리성 용액에 침지 시간이 길어질수록 표면에서부터 시작된 열화가 내부로 급격하게 확산되어 마찰 계수의 감소로 이어지는 경향을 나타냈다.

열가소성 고분자 복합재료 개발을 위하여 매트릭스 수지로는 폴리프로필렌섬유(PP)를 사용하고 유기계 강화소재로 폴리비닐알코올(비닐론, VF), 아라미드(케블라-49, KF) 및 폴리아미드섬유(PAF)등을 사용하였다. 복합매트제조장치로서 복합매트를 제조하고 가열.압축하여 고분자 복합재료를 성형하였다. 제조한 고분자 복합재료의 형태학, 유변학적 및 기계적특성 등을 측정하였다. 형태학에서 미트릭스와 강화섬유 간의 젖음성은 강화섬유의 함량이 증가함에 따라 감소하는 경향을 보였다. PAF/PP와 VF/PP 복합재료에 대한 점성도는 낮은 주파수 영역에서 강화섬유의 함량이 증가됨에 따라 증가하였으나, 높은 주파주 영역에서 5-20wt%로 강화된 복합재료는 매트릭스인 PP에 근접하게 감소된 점성도를 나타냈다. 기계적 특성은 강화 섬유의 함량에 따라 변하였으며, VF/PP 및 KF/PP 복합재료가 PAF/PP 계에 비해 우수한 현상을 보였다.

Excellent environmental durability and handy installation procedure as well as high specific strength and stiffness have introduced fiber-reinforced polymeric composite materials into the civil and architectural engineering field. This study presents the considerably enhanced strength characteristics of the mortal beams by being reinforced with epoxy-bonded carbon fiber sheets(CFS). Three point bending and Charpy impact tests were performed on both of bare and reinforced mortar specimens. The influences of length, and the number of reinforcing plies were investigated. Strength reduction due to pre-existent notch was lessened dramatically. The acoustic emission(AE) measurement revealed the progressive damage process in reinforced specimens.

Today fiber composite materials are routinely used in such wide applications as ships automobiles aircraft space vehi-cles containers sporting goods and appliances. The current knowledge of machining glass fiber reinforced polyester com-posites unfortunately is inadequate for its optimum utilization in many applications. Therefore This paper deals with drilling characteristic of glass fiber reinforced polyester composites. In the drilling of glass fiber reinforced polyester the quality of the cut surfaces is strongly dependent on the drilling parameters. drilling tests were carried out on glass fiber reinforced polyester using standard HSS tools. The material containing random chopped strand fibers and woven roving was fabricated by hand lay-up The entrance and exit surface of the holes was examined. The cutting force was also mea-sured to analyze the drilling characteristics,.

The first diagonal cracking and ultimate shear load of reinforced girder made of ultra high performance fiber reinforced concrete (UHPFRC) were investigated in this paper. Eleven girders were tested in which eight girders failed in shear. A simplified formulation for the first diagonal cracking load was proposed. An analytical model to predict the ultimate shear load was formulated based on the two bounds theory. A fiber reinforcing parameter was constituted based on the random assumption of steel fiber uniform distribution. The predicted values were compared with the conventional predictions and the test results. The proposed equation can be used for the first cracking status analysis, while the proposed equations for computing the ultimate shear strength can be used for the ultimate failure status analysis, which can also be utilized for numerical limit analysis of reinforced UHPFRC girder. The established fiber reinforcing theoretical model can also be a reference for micro-mechanics analysis of UHPFRC.
