We analyzed the damage effect on Glass Fibre Reinforced Plastics(GFRP) under air flow by irradiation of continuous wave near-IR laser. Damage process and temporal temperature distribution were demonstrated and material characteristics were observed with laser intensity, surface flow speed and angle. Surface temperature on GFRP rapidly increased with laser intensity, and the damaged pattern was different with flow characteristics. In case of no flow, penetration on GFRP by burning and flame generation after laser irradiation was appeared at once. GFRP was penetrated by the heat generated from resin ignition. In case of laser irradiation under flow, a flame generated after burning extinguished at once by flow and penetration pattern on GFRP were differently shown with flow angle. From the results, we presented the damage process and its mechanism.

The Turkish Earthquake Code was revised in 1998 and 2007. Before these Codes, especially 1998, reinforced concrete (RC) beams with low flexural and shear strength were widely used in the building. In this study, the RC specimens have been produced by taking into consideration the RC beams with insufficient shear and tensile reinforcement having been manufactured with the use of concrete with low strength. The performance of the RC specimens strengthened with different wrapping methods by using of Carbon Fibre Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) and Glass Fibre Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) composites have been examined in terms of flexural strength, ductility and energy absorption capacity. In the strengthening of the RC elements, the use of GFRP composites instead of CFRP composites has also been examined. For this purpose, the experimental results of the RC specimens strengthened by wrapping with CFRP and GFRP are presented and discussed. It has been concluded that although the flexural and shear strengths of the RC beams strengthened with GFRP composites are lower than those of beams reinforced with CFRP, their ductility and energy absorption capacities are very high. Moreover, the RC beams strengthened with CFRP fracture are more brittle when compared to GFRP.

This study focuses on shear strengthening performance of simply supported reinforced concrete (RC) T-beams bonded by glass fibre reinforced polymer (GFRP) strips in different configuration, orientations and transverse steel reinforcement in different spacing. Eighteen RC T-beams of 2.5 m span are tested. Nine beams are used as control beam. The stirrups are provided in three different spacing such as without stirrups and with stirrups at a spacing of 200 mm and 300 mm. Another nine beams are used as strengthened beams. GFRP strips are bonded in shear zone in U-shape and side shape with two types of orientation of the strip at $45^{\circ}$ and $90^{\circ}$ to the longitudinal axis of the beam for each type of stirrup spacing. The experimental result indicates that the beam strengthened with GFRP strips at $45^{\circ}$ orientation to the longitudinal axis of the beam are much more effective than $90^{\circ}$ orientation. Also as transverse steel increases, the effectiveness of the GFRP strips decreases.

The effect of glass fibres (GF) and polypropylene fibres (PPF) on the fresh properties and mechanical properties of lightweight concrete (LWC) exposed to high temperatures is investigated in this study. In this study, fifteen LWC mixtures were carried out in three different groups reinforced with PPF or GF fibers by 0%, 0.2%, and 0.4% by volume of concrete. The first group included aluminum powder (AP) as an air agent at 0.03% with the normal weight coarse aggregate (NWCA) by 100% of the weight of coarse aggregate. In the second group, 33% of the NWCA weight was replaced by lightweight coarse aggregate (LWCA). In the third group, 67% of the NWCA weight was replaced by LWCA. The slump, unit weight, Compressive strength (CS), tensile strength (TS), and flexural strength (FS) were examined. For two hours, the CS and FS were subjected to elevated temperatures of 200℃, 400℃, and 600℃, in addition to microstructure analysis of concrete. In comparison to the reference mixture, the fresh properties and bulk density of LWC decreased with the use of the air agent or the replacement of 67% of the NWCA with LWCA. As a result of the fiber addition, both the slump test and the bulk density decreased. The addition of fibers increased the CS; the highest CS was 38.5 MPa when 0.4% GF was added, compared to 28.9 MPa for the reference mixture at the test age of 28 days. In addition, flexural and TS increased by 53% and 38%, respectively, for 0.4% GF mixes. As well as, adding 0.4% GF to LWC maintained a higher CS than other mixtures.

This study aims to examine the structural response of glass fibre-reinforced polymer (Glass-FRP) reinforced geopolymer electronic waste aggregate concrete (GEWC) compression elements under axial compression for sustainable development. The research includes the fabrication of nine GEWC circular compression elements with different reinforcement ratios and a 3-D nonlinear finite element model using ABAQUS. The study involves a detailed parametric analysis to examine the impact of various parameters on the behavior of GEWC compression elements. The results indicate that reducing the vertical distance of glass-FRP ties improves the ductility of GEWC compression elements, and those with eight longitudinal rebars have higher axial load-carrying capacities. The finite element predictions were in good agreement with the testing results, and the put forwarded empirical model shows higher accuracy than previous models by involving the confinement effect of lateral glass-FRP ties on the axial strength of GEWC compression elements. This research work contributes to minimizing the carbon footprint of cement manufacturing and electronic waste materials for sustainable development.

보철이나 수복 영역에서 재료 자체의 기계적 특성을 강화하기 위해 많이 사용되어 오던 fiber reinforced composite (FRC)는 최근 교정 영역까지 그 사용이 확대되고 있다 이 연구의 목적은 silica glass fiber로 강화된 FRC (FibreKor. Jeneric/pentron Inc., Wallingford, U. S.A.)를 다양한 기간 동안 물에 저장하였을 때 물 흡수가 FRC의 굽힘 특성에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 함이었다. 시편은 임상에서 적응하는 원형, (직사)각형의 두 가지 형태를 기준으로 plasma arc light를 이용하여 광중합하여 제작하였다. 각형 원형 각각 5개의 시편을 실은(평균 $23^{\circ}C$)의 증류수 안에 0시간. 1시간. 1일. 1주, 15일 1개월, 3개월의 기간 동안 보관한 후 torque tester를 이용하여 굽힘 시험을 시행하였다 굽힘 강성(flexural stiffness)은 24시간 후에 원형의 경우 58%, 각형의 경우 25%로 감소했으며 3개월 후에는 각각 28%, 19%의 실험 전 상태의 강성을 나타냈다. 항복 굽힘 모멘트(yield flexural moment. $3^{\circ}$ offset)는 24시간 후에 원형의 경우 45% 각형의 경우 75%로 감소했으며 3개월 후에는 실험 전 항복 굽힘 모멘트의 29%, 60%로 각각 감소하였다 파절 굽힘 모멘트(ultimate flexural moment)는 24시간 후에 원형의 경우 30% 각형의 경우 75%로 감소했으며 3개월 후에는 실험 전 값의 25%, 37%로 각각 감소하였다 이상의 실험을 통하여 FibreKor는 물에 보관 시 초기에 굽힘 강성이 급격히 저하됨을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 수분에 대한 굽힘 강도 증가를 위한 연구가 향후 필요할 것이다.

Objective: The aim of the study was to evaluate the physicochemical properties (nutrient composition, pH, water content and activity, sorption properties) and mechanical properties (compression force and energy) of granulated feed mixtures with various inclusion levels of crude fibre concentrates ARBOCEL and VITACEL for broiler chickens, i.e. +0.0% (control group - group C), +0.3%, +0.8%, +1.0%, +1.2%. Methods: The feed mixtures were analyzed for their physicochemical properties (nutrient composition by near-infrared spectroscopy, pH with the use a CP-401 pH meter with an IJ-44C glass electrode, water content was determined with the drying method and activity was determined with the Aqua Lab Series 3, sorption properties was determined with the static method) and mechanical properties (compression force and energy with the use TA-HD plus texture analyzer). The Guggenheim-Anderson-de Boer (GAB) model applied in the study correctly described the sorption properties of the analyzed feed mixtures in terms of water activity. Results: The fibre concentrate type affected the specific surface area of the adsorbent and equilibrium water content in the GAB monolayer (p≤0.05) (significantly statistical). The type and dose of the fibre concentrate influenced the dimensionless C and k parameters of the GAB model related to the properties of the monolayer and multilayers, respectively (p≤0.05). They also affected the pH value of the analyzed feed mixtures (p≤0.05). In addition, crude fibre type influenced water activity (p≤0.05) as well as compression energy (J) and compression force (N) (p≤0.001) (highly significantly statistical) of the feed mixtures. Conclusion: The physicochemical analyses of feed mixtures with various inclusion levels (0.3%, 0.8%, 1.0%, 1.2%) of crude fiber concentrates ARBOCEL or VITACEL demonstrated that both crude fiber types may be used in the feed industry as a feedstuff material to produce starter type mixtures for broiler chickens.

기존의 해상교량 기둥의 외부보강에 따른 연구들은 현재까지 주로 중앙점 재하에 따른 성능을 평가하였다. 하지만, 장대교량의 기둥은 정확한 중심축을 기준으로 축하중을 받는 경우와 편심으로 인한 큰 모멘트가 동시에 작용하는 경우가 많이 발생한다. 이 연구에서는 해상장대교량의 고강도 철근콘크리트 기둥의 하중재하 위치와 2가지의 보강 재료인 탄소섬유 및 고성능 유리섬유를 각각 보강하여 그 효과를 분석하였다. 실험에 사용된 12개의 기둥 실험체는 모두 같은 크기로 제작 및 실험을 하였다. 그 중 6개 실험체의 횡보강 철끈은 띠철근으로 배근하였으며, 그 외 6개의 실험체는 나선철근으로 매끈하였다. 그리고 각각 3겹의 탄소섬유 및 고성능 유리섬유를 적용하여 감싸기 방법으로 보강하였다. 실험변수는 하중재하 위치에 따른 철근의 보강행태 및 보강재료가 고려되었다. 실험결과, 편심축에 따른 하중재하 기둥부재는 중심축 하중재하에 비해 최대 파괴하중이 감소하였지만 고성능 유리섬유를 보강한 기둥부재는 축하중 및 편심하중에서 탄소섬유를 보강한 경우보다 내력과 연성이 우수하였다.

In the present work, the effect of hygrothermal aging on the glass fibre and epoxy matrix interface has been investigated by destructive and non-destructive techniques. The glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) composite laminates were prepared using Vacuum Assisted Resin Infusion Molding (VARIM) technique and the specimens were immersed in simulated seawater, followed by quantitative measurement. Besides this, the tensile tests of GFRP specimens revealed a general decrease in the properties with increasing aging time. Also, exposed specimens were characterized by a non-destructive ultrasonic guided Lamb wave propagation technique. The experimental results demonstrate a correlation between the drop in ultrasonic voltage amplitude and fall in tensile strength with increasing time of immersion. Hence, the comparison of the transmitted guided wave signal of healthy vis-a-vis specimens subjected to different extents of hygrothermal aging facilitated performance evaluation of GFRP composites.
