To study the seismic resistance of the shear capacity of the RC beam-column joints of two-story and four-story RC buildings, sample buildings are designed with ordinary moment resisting frame. For the shear capacity of joints, the equations of FEMA 356 and NZ seismic assessment are selected and compared. For comparison, one group of buildings is designed only for gravity loads and the other group is designed for seismic and gravity loads. For 16 cases of the designed buildings, seismic performance point is evaluated through push-over analysis and the capacity of joint shear strength is checked. Not only for the gravity designed buildings but also for seismic designed buildings, the demand of joint shear is exceeding the capacity at exterior joints. However, for interior joint, the demand of joint shear exceeds the capacity only for one case. At exterior joints, the axial load stress ratio is lower than 0.21 for gravity designed buildings and 0.13 for seismic designed buildings.

The high strength materials have been more widely used in reinforced concrete structures, specially, the reinforcing steel is permitted to used in RC structures up to yielding strength of 600 MPa. The strength of materials in RC beam section effects on the behavior and ductility of the RC members. In this study, the numerical analysis has been conducted to obtain the complete moment-curvature relation and the curvature ductility factor for the rectangular RC beams sections under the various reinforcement conditions and the effects of concrete strength, yield strength of reinforcement steel on the behavior and the curvature ductility factor of RC beam sections have been evaluated. The compressive strength of concrete and yield strength of steel have effected in various manner on the behavior and the curvature ductility factor of RC beam sections under reinforcement conditions. In the case of beam sections with equal resisting moment. the curvature ductility factor of RC beam section decreased with an increase in the yield strength of steel and increased with an increase in the concrete strength. When the yield strength of steel increased from 400 MPa to 600 MPa, the curvature ductility factor reduced about 30% and as the concrete strength increased from 30 MPa to 70 MPa, the curvature ductility factor of RC beam section increased about 3 times.

This paper describes the experimental study on the mechanical characteristics of a steel plate-reinforced concrete joint. As an alternative reinforced concrete structure, the SC modular construction method is widely used and studied in the field ofindustrial facility field. However, the structure characteristics of RC and SC joint are not yet studied completely. In this paper, the beam-type construction joint of RC and SC walls was made to simulate the application of SC module to the large RC structure. Also, an out-of-plane loading was applied to the test specimen in order to evaluate flexural strength and structural properties of the beam-type RC-SC joint.

The objective of the present study is to understand the strengthening effects of reinforced concrete beam applied the reinforced plates, expended metal and carbon fiber grid with the ceramic metal. In the present study, the bending tests are performed to understand the increasing effects of stiffness and ductility for the strengthening RC beam. Also, the important purpose of the structural tests is to understand the adhesion performance of the ceramic metal. It is expected the present experimental observations as a valuable source in suggestion improved the strengthening method more than this method by analysis of the failure mode for the specimens.

This paper presents the shear strengthening effect of externally post-tensioning (EPT) method using high-strength steel rod in pre-cracked reinforced concrete (RC) beams. Three- and four-point bending tests were performed on a total of 8 specimens by adjusting the strengthening depths in the deviator position of EPT. The effective strengthening depths were 435, 535, and 610 mm. The pre-loading up to about 2/3 of ultimate load capacity measured in unstrengthened RC beam were applied in the beam to be post-tensioned. The EPT method was then applied to the pre-damaged RC beams and re-loading was added until the end of the test. EPT restored deflections of 3 mm or more, which account for about 40% of deflection when the pre-loading was applied. The shear strengthening increases more than 3 times and 36~107% in terms of the stiffness and load-carrying capacity compared to unstrengthening RC beams. The increased load-carrying capacities of the post-tensioned beam with strengthening depths of 435 and 535 mm are almost the same as 36~61%, and those of 610 mm are 84~107%, which shows the greatest shear strengthening effect.

Earthquake resistance of RC column-steel beam (RCS) joints with simplified details were studied. Simplified details are necessary for large columns to improve the productivity and constructability. To strengthen the beam-column joint, the effects of transverse beams, studs, and U-cross ties were used. Four 2/3 scale interior RCS connections were tested under cyclic lateral loading. The specimens generally exhibited good deformation capacity exceeding 4.0% story drift ratio after yielding of both beam and beam-column joint. Ultimately, the specimens failed by shear mechanism of the joint panel. The test strengths were compared with the predictions of existing design methods.

하중 속도에 따른 콘크리트 재료의 역학적 특성은 구조물의 동적파괴거동에 영향을 미친다. 본 연구는, rigid-body-spring network를 이용하여 파괴해석을 수행하고, 거시적 시뮬레이션에서 속도효과를 표현하기 위하여 점소성 파괴모델을 적용하였다. 보정을 위해서 Perzyna 구성관계식의 점소성 계수들이 다양한 하중속도에 따른 직접인장실험을 통해서 결정되었다. 동정상승계수를 이용하여 하중 속도가 증가함에 따른 강도 증가를 표현하였고 이를 실험결과와 비교하였다. 다음으로 느린 하중속도와 빠른 하중속도에 따라 단순 콘크리트 보와 철근 콘크리트 보에 대한 휨 실험을 수행하였으며, 하중 속도에 따라서 서로 다른 균열 패턴을 관찰할 수 있었다. 빠른 하중은 보의 파괴가 국부적으로 나타나게 만드는데, 이는 속도 의존적 재료의 특성 때문이다. 구조적인 측면에서, 보강재는 느린 하중속도에서 균열의 크기를 줄이고 연성을 높이는 데 큰 영향을 미친다. 본 논문은 속도 의존적 거동에 대한 이해와 동적하중에 대한 보강효과를 제시한다.

The experimental work was performed to investigate the effect influenced to the hystresis and the flexural strength improvement of RC beam using carbon fiber plates. Major parameters of this experimental program were the section size of carbon fiber plates and the damage level of RC beam before reinforcement. Particularly, the damage level of beam is for the cases damaged by overloads. The damage level is for 30%, 60%, and 100% of flexural strength, and no damaged beams were also tested for comparison with the damaged one. from the test results, it showed that the beams reinforced by carbon fiber plates had the higher strength and lower deformation capacity than the general beams and that it had the same ductility ratio of the general beams.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the flexural strengthening effects of RC beams reinforced with carbon fiber sheets (CFS) in variable of strengthening amount and anchorage length of CFS. This study can be summarized as follows. The CFS shares the tensile stress such as rebar during loading test. Also, as the strengthening amount of CFS is increased, the maximum flexural strength of RC beams reinforced with CFS is increased. Therefore, it is confirmed that the CFS's strengthening method is very effective to improve the flexural strength of RC beams. The maximum flexural strength of RC beams with CFS is determined by bond failure between CFS and concrete surface. So, the evaluation of CFS's strengthening effect can be calculated using the tensile stress of CFS which is peeling. When the anchorage length of CFS. But, in case of same anchorage length of CFS, when the strengthening amount of CFA is increased, the ductility is decreased. Therefore, it is considered that the anchorage of CFS in the end zone is necessary.

To investigae the effect of anchorage type of carbon fiber sheet (CFS) on flexural behavior of RC beams, the loading test of RC beams reinforced with CFS was conducted in variable of anchorage Type such as bolting anchorage and U type anchorage using CFS. This study can be summarized as follows ; It is confirmed experimentally that the bolting anchorage and U type anchorage with CFS is very effective to delay the bond failure and prevent the peeling of CFS. Also, the anchorage type applied with this study is very effective to improve the ductility compared with the improving of maximum flexural strength of RC beams. It is believed that the anchorage type used this study must secure the ductile capacity of above 3 for the flexural strengthening of RC beams. In the future, it is required to obtain the data about anchorage type of CFS for utilization of field work as well as investigate the ductile capacity of conventional study of anchorage type
