For reaching large inelastic deformations without a substantial loss in strength, the potential plastic hinge regions of the reinforced concrete structural members should be confined by adequate transverse reinforcement. Therefore, simple and realistic representation of confined concrete behaviour is needed for inelastic analysis of reinforced concrete structures. In this study, a trilinear stress-strain model is proposed for the axial behaviour of confined concrete. The model is based on experimental work that was carried out on nearly full size specimens. During the interpretation of experimental data, the buckling and strain hardening of the longitudinal reinforcement are also taken into account. The proposed model is used for predicting the stress-strain relationships of confined concrete specimens tested by other researchers. Although the proposed model is simpler than most of the available models, the comparisons between the predicted results and experimental data indicate that it can represent the stress-strain relationship of confined concrete quite realistically.

In this work, a comprehensive approach to model the structural behaviour of Reinforced Concrete (RC) beams subjected to reinforcement corrosion is proposed. The coupled environmental - mechanical damage model developed by some of the authors is enhanced for considering the main effects of corrosion on concrete, on composite interaction between reinforcement bars and concrete and on steel reinforcement. This approach is adopted for reproducing a set of experimental tests on RC beams with different corrosion degrees. After the simulation of the sound beams, the main parameters involved in the relationships characterizing the effects of corrosion are calibrated and tested, referring to one degraded beam. Then, in order to validate the proposed approach and to assess its ability to predict the structural response of deteriorated elements, several corroded beams are analyzed. The numerical results show a good agreement with the experimental ones: in particular, the proposed model properly predicts the structural response in terms of both failure mode and load-deflection curves, with increasing corrosion level.

The application of the compressive force path method for the design of earthquake-resistant reinforced concrete structural walls with a shear span-to-depth ratio larger than 2.5 has been shown by experiment to lead to a significant reduction of the code specified transverse reinforcement within the critical lengths without compromising the code requirements for structural performance. The present work complements these findings with experimental results obtained from tests on structural walls with a shear span-to-depth ratio smaller than 2.5. The results show that the compressive force path method is capable of safeguarding the code performance requirements without the need of transverse reinforcement confining concrete within the critical lengths. Moreover, it is shown that ductility can be considerably increased by improving the strength of the two bottom edges of the walls through the use of structural steel elements extending to a small distance of the order of 100 mm from the wall base.

Rebar work is important in terms of cost and process of reinforced concrete construction along with formwork and concrete construction, and the quality of reinforced concrete construction has a great influence on the safety and durability of the structure. Therefore it is important to thoroughly inspect the steel reinforcement after casting the concrete because it is difficult to confirm the actual condition of the reinforcement. The purpose of this study is to develop an augmented reality system to visualize the records of bar placing work, which is increasingly utilized in the construction field. In order to improve maintenance of reinforced concrete, this study suggests a plan to effectively manage the drawing information including the structural drawing, the placing drawing, and the photographed image at the construction and inspection stage, and develop a system that utilizes augmented reality technology that can display the state of the inside of a concrete structure by superimposing it on actual environment.

콘크리트의 취성파괴를 방지하기 위해 강섬유 보강재는 효과적인 복합재료이다. 그러나 시멘트 사용량이 많아지면 건조수축이 증가하고 이로 인해, 강섬유 보강재의 연성증가 효과가 제한될 수 있다. 팽창재를 사용한 콘크리트 내부의 강섬유 보강재는 화학적 프리스트레싱 효과가 발생하여 강섬유 보강효과를 증가시킬 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 CSA 팽창재와 강섬유 보강재를 혼입하여 콘크리트의 역학적인 특성을 분석하였다. 체적비 1~2%의 강섬유 보강재와 시멘트 중량의 10%의 CSA 팽창재를 혼입하였으며, 다양한 역학적 특성과 휨거동을 분석하였다. 강섬유 보강재를 혼입한 CSA 콘크리트는 인장강도와 초기균열강도의 증가를 나타냈으며, 균열후의 파괴에너지 증가와 같은 연성거동을 뚜렷하게 나타내었다. 적절한 팽창재 사용과 최적의 강섬유 보강재의 혼입률이 도출된다면 이들의 상호작용은 콘크리트의 취성을 더욱 효과적으로 제어할 수 있다.

This paper presents a review of the two widespread approaches which deal with the ultimate strength design of RC slabs subjected to bending moments and torsion: The Field of Moments Method (FoMM) and the Sandwich method (SM). Special attention is paid to the ultimate strain distribution implicitly assumed when using each one of the methodologies, in particular, the yielding of the steel reinforcement. This work analyzes the initial assumption regarding ultimate strain distribution in the SM. Furthermore, this work studies the resisting moments field on which the Wood-Armer method is based, and it finds some inconsistencies. Several examples have been developed.

The aim of the current work is to describe the flexural behaviour of simply supported concrete beams with tension reinforcement spliced at mid-span. The parameters included in the study were the type of the concrete, the splice length and the configuration of the hooked splice. Fifteen beams were cast using an ordinary concrete mix and two fiber reinforced concrete mixes incorporating steel and polypropylene fibers. Each concrete mix was used to cast five beams with continuous, spliced and hooked spliced tension steel bars. A test beam was reinforced on the tension side with two 12 mm bars and the splice length was 20 and 40 times the bar diameter. The hooked bars were spliced along 20 times the bar diameter and provided with 45-degree and 90-degree hooks. The test results in terms of cracking and ultimate loads, cracking patterns, ductility, and failure modes are reported. The results demonstrated the consequences due to short splices and the improvement in the structural behaviour due to the use of hooks and the confinement provided by the steel and polypropylene fibers.

Green frame is combined by structural steel and reinforcements of Green column and beam and unified by cast-in-place concrete. However, when upper reinforcements penetrate structural steel hole, the execution is difficult due to interference of joint and a rib of deformed reinforcements. Therefore, the objective of this study is to propose the reinforcement tools to improve productivity of precast structure connection construction. The reinforcement tools proposed in this study can be helpful to improve constructability, safety, duration, and cost comparing with conventional reinforcement method since unskilled workers can deal with reinforcements easily.

BIM은 지금까지 건설업무에 적용하는데 많은 시행착오를 겪어 왔다. BIM인 이슈화된지 10여년이 지났지만 활성화가 안 되고 있는게 현실이다. 본 연구는 철근콘크리트공사에 BIM적용을 제안하고자 한다. 철근콘크리트 공사는 건축공사비 중 가장 큰 비중을 차지하는 반면에 재료의 수가 적고 한정적이다. 또한 구조물 공사에 대한 모델링을 하여야 다른 모델링을 할 수 있으므로 철근콘크리트공사의 3D모델은 모든 3D모델링의 바탕이 되기 때문에 3D 모델링을 가장 처음 하여야 한다. 철근 콘크리트공사에 대한 수량산출 프로그램개발 및 사례를 통하여 BIM기반의 철근콘크리트 공사에 지식기반의 수식DB를 적용하여 시공단계까지 활용할 수 있는 BIM기반의 산출정보를 구축하였고, 적용성을 검증하였다. 이로써 BIM기반의 타 공종도 구현 가능성을 제시함으로써 정보화, 지능화 시대에 건설산업도 BIM기반의 활성화가 가능하다는 것을 확인하였다.

본 연구에서는 철근콘크리트 연속보의 이산최적설계를 수행하기 위해서 유전알고리즘을 적용하였다. 콘크리트, 거푸집, 주철근 및 스터럽의 경비를 포함한 경비 최소화를 목적함수로 하였고, 제약조건으로는 휨강도와 전단강도, 처짐, 균열, 철근간격, 피복두께, 철근비 상 하한치 및 단면형상에 대한 기하학적 제약조건과 더불어 주철근의 정착을 고려하였다. 보의 폭과 유효깊이, 철근량을 설계변수로 취하였으며, 설계변수 값은 실무에서 사용되는 단면치수와 철근량을 데이터베이스화한 이산집합으로부터 선택되도록 하였다. GA의 신뢰성을 검증하기 위해서 이산변수로 철근콘크리트보에 대한 최적설계를 수행한 기존 문헌과 그 결과값을 비교 검토하였으며, GA의 적용성 및 효율성을 보이기 위하여 국내 구조설계기준을 만족하는 3경간 및 5경간 철근콘크리트보에 대해 이산최적설계를 수행하였다.
