The effect of reinforcing concrete members with high strength steel bars with yield strength up to 600 MPa on the overall seismic behavior of concrete moment frames was studied experimentally and numerically. Three geometrically identical plane frame models with two bays and two stories, where one frame model was reinforced with hot rolled bars (HRB) with a nominal yield strength of 335 MPa and the other two by high strength steel bars with a nominal yield strength of 600 MPa, were tested under simulated earthquake action considering different axial load ratios to investigate the hysteretic behavior, ductility, strength and stiffness degradation, energy dissipation and plastic deformation characteristics. Test results indicate that utilizing high strength reinforcement can improve the structural resilience, reduce residual deformation and achieve favorable distribution pattern of plastic hinges on beams and columns. The frame models reinforced with normal and high strength steel bars have comparable overall deformation capacity. Compared with the frame model subjected to a low axial load ratio, the ones under a higher axial load ratio exhibit more plump hysteretic loops. The proved reliable finite element analysis software DIANA was used for the numerical simulation of the tests. The analytical results agree well with the experimental results.

This study is to investigate the effects of nylon(NY) and cellulose(CEL) fiber contents on the mechanical properties of the concrete. The results were summarized as following. Test showed that increase of NY and CEL fiber contents decreased fluidity of fresh concrete, so the loss of the fluidity would be considered when they were over added. Air contents were slight increased, but they satisfied the target air content. Bleeding capacity of concrete containing fiber significantly was declined. In addition, concrete containing higher amounts of fiber retarded setting time remarkably. Plastic shrinkage crack was reduced with the use of fiber due to increasing fiber contents and changing fiber classes, and NY fibers to prevent the plastic shrinkage crack effectively. Compressive and tensile strength of almost specimens were increased when air contents of the fresh concrete were fixed according to fiber contents, and flexural strength was increased according to fiber contents. For the impact strength of specimens, the specimen containing $0.6kg/m^3$ of NY fibers, showed the most favorable impact strength, The fiber reinforced concrete using NY fibers exhibited superior mechanical performance, and it was considered that $0.6kg/m^3$ of was desirable as the most favorable adding amount.

This paper presents a theoretical model for the behavior of partially confined axi-symmetric reinforced concrete members subjected to axial load. The analysis uses the theories of elasticity and plasticity to cover the full range of the concrete behavior. Analysis of the elastic range of the problem involves boundary conditions that are defined along a relatively simple geometry. However, extending the analysis into the plastic range involves difficulties that arise from the irregular geometry of the boundary between the plastic zone and the elastic zone, a boundary which is also changing as the axial load increases. The solution is derived by replacing the discrete steel ties with an equivalent tube of thickness $t_{eq}$ and by analyzing the concrete cylinder, which is uniformly confined by the equivalent tube. The equivalency criterion initiates from a theoretical analysis of the problem in its elastic range where further finite element analysis shows that this criterion is valid also for the plastic range of the cylinder material. According to the proposed model, the efficiency of the lateral reinforcement can be evaluated by the equivalent thickness $t_{eq}$. Comparison with published test results of confined reinforced concrete stress-strain curves shows good agreement between the test and the analytical results.

Composite beams using bolts to attach steel plates to the side faces of existing reinforced concrete (RC) coupling beams can enhance both their strength and deformability. The behavior of those composite beams differs substantially from the behavior of typical composite beams made up of steel beams and concrete slabs. The former are subjected to longitudinal, vertical and rotational slips, while the latter only involve longitudinal slip. In this study, a mixed analysis method was adopted to develop the fundamental equations for accurate prediction of the load-carrying capacity of steel plate strengthened RC coupling beams. Then, a rigid plastic analysis technique was used to cope with the full composite effect of the bolt group connections. Two theoretical models for the determination of the strength of medium-length plate strengthened coupling beams based on mixed analysis and rigid plastic methods are presented. The strength of the strengthened coupling beams is derived. The vertical and longitudinal slips of the steel plates and the shear strength of the anchor-bolt connection group is considered. The theoretical models are validated by the available experimental results presented in a companion paper. The strength of the specimens predicted from the mixed analysis model is found to be in good agreement with that from the experimental results.

구조용 집성재 라멘 접합부에 일반적으로 사용되는 접합철물을 대신하여 단판과 Glass Fiber Reinforced Plastic (GFRP)를 복합시킨 GFRP 보강적층판과 삽입 접착형 GFRP rod를 접합물로 사용하여 낙엽송 집성재 문형라멘 구조의 수평가력 성능평가를 실시하였다. 실험결과 GFRP rod와 에폭시 접착제를 이용한 삽입 접착형 접합부는 기존의 접합철물을 이용한 실험체와 비교하여 항복내력, 종국내력, 초기강성이 각각 49%, 52%, 61% 낮게 측정되었다. 이러한 접합부는 GFRP rod와 집성재 간의 접착력이 중요한 내력 기구로 현장적용 시 문제가 발생할 수 있는 가능성이 크다고 판단된다. 반면, GFRP 보강적층판과 목재(Eucalyptus marginata)핀을 이용한 실험체는 집성재 슬릿 접합부의 단면적 손실이 큼에도 불구하고 항복내력, 종국내력, 초기강성, 소성률이 전부 3% 이내로 측정되었다. 게다가 사이클에 대한 강성변화율도 35%로 가장 낮게 측정되며 접합철물을 이용한 실험체와 거의 동등한 성능을 발휘한 것을 확인하였다.

암질이 불량한 암반에 터널이 굴착되는 경우 터널의 주변 암반은 그라우팅, 록볼트 설치 등의 보강법을 활용하여 일정 깊이까지 보강이 이루어진다. 터널보강의 효과를 수치해석적으로 계산하기 위해서는 보강재를 직접 요소로 표현하거나 보강영역의 등가물성을 활용하는 방법이 적용될 수 있다. 이 연구에서는 후자의 목적에 이용될 수 있는 원형터널의 탄소성 해석을 위한 간단한 수치해석 기법을 개발하였다. 정수압조건의 초기응력이 작용하는 Mohr-Coulomb 암반에 굴착된 원형터널이 고리형태로 일정 깊이까지 보강된다면 보강대는 원 암반과 물성의 차이를 보인다고 가정할 수 있다. 보강대와 보강대를 제외한 가상의 터널에 대해 각각 Lee & Pietruszczak (2007)가 제안한 탄소성 해석법을 적용하고 적합조건을 만족하도록 두 영역의 해석결과를 연결시키는 방법으로 보강대 효과를 계산할 수 있는 탄소성 수치해석법을 개발하였다. 상업코드인 FLAC을 활용한 해석결과와 비교를 통하여 개발된 방법의 정확성을 검증하였다. 해석결과 보강대의 변형계수와 강도정수의 변화를 고려한 응력 및 변위 분포는 균질한 암반을 가정한 해석결과와 큰 차이를 보여주었다.

본 연구는 보강사면에 상계이론를 적용하여 실제 한계상태에 가까운 신뢰성이 높은 해석방법을 개발하는데 목적이 있으며 상계해석의 유한요소공식화를 전개하는데 있어 거시적인 관점으로부터 비등방성이면서 균질한 재료에 대한 수치해석의 기본 개념은 얻을 수 있다. 보강토는 뒷채움한 성토와 보강재 경계면의 상호작용으로 보강토의 강도가 보강재의 재료적 특성에 의존하고 있기 때문에 흙의 역학적 특성과 보강토의 전체 거동은 보강재의 기하학적인 배열과 상대적인 면적에 의해서 조절할 수 있다. 따라서, 상계이론은 보강사면의 한계상태 거동을 효과적으로 산정할 수 있어 국부적으로 발생하는 소성파괴를 예측할 수 있다.
