This study the change of the safety factor before and after the reinforcement were compared by performing the parameter research based on the limit equilibrium analysis regarding the same cross section after carrying out the safety factor before the reinforcement on the virtual section in order to observe the change of the safety factor of the slop reinforced with the slope planting reinforced earth, and the variation of the safety factor according to the increase of the length of the reinforcement materials and the change of the slope height was analyzed. As the result, the reinforcement effect was insignificant at no more than 0.6 of L/H, the reinforcement length ratio when the reinforcement length was increased, as the increase of the safety factor was slow comparing with the non-reinforced slope. At 3.0m of the slope height, reinforcement on the slope is not necessary, and at 3.0m to 5.0m of the slope height, the inclination was not influencing at no less than 0.6 of L/H. At 5.0m to 9.0m of the slope height, the safety factor was mostly secured on the slope at 0.8 of L/H and the over-reinforced slope appeared at no less than 1.0 of L/H. Also, the safety factor increased as the slope height increases and the slope gets steeper till 0.8 of L/H, but the slope steepness affects more on the increase of the safety factor than the reinforcement material, as the reinforcing force by the reinforcement material became steady.

Back-to-Back 보강토옹벽은 좁은 구간에 양립하는 옹벽의 형식을 가지기 때문에 벽체간의 이격거리에 따라 보강재가 겹치게 되어 보강재 간의 상호작용에 의한 응력 변화와 일체화된 상태에서 전체가 거동하는 문제 등으로 설계단계에서 신중한 접근이 필요하나 현재 국내에 정형화된 설계기준이나 지침이 전무한 상태이다. 본 연구는 이러한 Back-to-Back 보강토옹벽에 대해 옹벽폭 대 높이비(옹벽폭비, Wb/H)에 따른 최적 보강길이비에 대해 고찰하였다. 옹벽폭비는 FHWA 설계기준의 Case II에 해당하는 1.1H, 1.4H, 1.7H, 2.0H, 높이는 일반적으로 가장 많이 적용되고 있는 3.0m, 5.0m, 7.0m, 10.0m를 대상으로 하였으며, 각 조건에서 수치해석을 통해 FHWA 설계기준의 적정성과 옹벽의 높이 및 옹벽폭비에 따른 최적 보강길이비를 제안하였다.

다주교각의 횡방향 철근비에 따른 연성도 및 소성힌지 영역을 단주교각과 비교하여 평가하였다. 횡방향 철근비가 높을수록 연성도 증가는 뚜렷하며 다주교각의 경우 교축직각방향 거동시에는 단주보다 더 큰 연성도 증가를 보였다. 또한 횡철근 배근을 위한 소성힌지영역을 산정하였으며 목표연성도를 크게 할수록 횡구속 철근비의 증가와 함께 횡구속 되어야 하는 소성힌지영역 또한 높아져야함을 밝혔다. 다주교각의 방향별 거동에 따른 소성힌지 영역에는 차이가 있으며, 다주교각의 교축직각방향 거동시에는 모멘트 분포의 차이에 의해 보다 낮은 구간에서 소성변형을 보인다.

본 연구는 측방이동으로 인한 구조물의 안정성에 영향을 주는 각 인자(성토 높이, 성토부로부터 지하매설물까지의 이격 거리, 연약지반의 깊이, 연약지반의 압축지수 및 팽창지수)별에 대한 합리적이고 경제성 있는 보강길이를 제시하였다. 이러한 결과들을 토대로 각 인자들의 영향 정도를 파악하고, 어떠한 인자가 측방이동에 가장 영향을 미치는가를 파악하였다. 유한요소 해석프로그램을 이용하여 연약지반 상에 성토가 이루어지는 경우의 단면을 모델링하여 해석을 수행하였으며, 연약지반의 보강은 심층혼합공법(DCM)을 이용하였다. 그 결과 성토 높이 증가에 따른 보강길이의 증가율은 약 9~50%, 연약지반 심도 증가에 따른 보강길이의 증가율은 약 13~30%, 성토부로부터 지하 매설물의 이격 거리 감소에 따른 보강길이의 증가율은 약 7~25%, 압축지수 증가에 따른 보강길이의 증가율은 약 3~25%로 나타났다. 또한 각 인자별로 서로에 대한 영향성을 분석하였다. 그 결과 연약지반 심도의 보강길이 최대 최소 기울기비는 이격거리 변화에 큰 영향을 받았으며 이외의 인자들은 연약지반 심도의 변화에 따라 최대 최소 기울기 비가 큰 영향을 받았다. 한편 연약지반의 심도가 깊어질수록 성토높이에 따른 보강길이의 최대-최소기울기의 비는 3.75, 이격 거리에 따른 보강길이의 최대-최소기울기의 비는 4.3, 압축지수에 따른 최대-최소기울기의 비는 2.5로 나타났다. 이를 통해 세 개의 인자는 연약지반의 심도에 대한 영향을 크게 받는 것으로 확인되었다.

Reinforcement corrosion is the main cause of the durability failure of reinforced concrete (RC) structure. In this paper, a three-dimensional (3D) numerical model of macro-cell corrosion is established to reveal the corrosion mechanisms of steel reinforcement in RC structure. Modified Direct Iteration Method (MDIM) is employed to solve the system of partial differential equations for reinforcement corrosion. Through the sensitivity analysis of electrochemical parameters, it is found that the average corrosion current density is more sensitive to the change of cathodic Tafel slope and anodic equilibrium potential, compared with the other electrochemical parameters. Furthermore, both the anode-to-cathode (A/C) ratio and the anodic length have significant influences on the average corrosion current density, especially when A/C ratio is less than 0.5 and anodic length is less than 35 mm. More importantly, it is demonstrated that the corrosion rate of semi-circumferential corrosion is much larger than that of circumferential corrosion for the same A/C ratio value. The simulation results can give a unique insight into understanding the detailed electrochemical corrosion processes of steel reinforcement in RC structure for application in service life prediction of RC structures in actual civil engineer.

This paper presents an experimental study on the behavior of axially-loaded steel RHS (rectangular hollow section) compression members that are partially reinforced along their lengths with welded steel plates. 28 slender column tests were carried out to investigate the effects of the slenderness ratio of the unreinforced member and the ratio of the reinforced length of the member to its entire length. In addition to the slender column tests, 14 stub-column tests were conducted to determine the basic mechanical properties of the test specimens under uniform compression. Test results show that both the compressive strength and stiffness of an RHS member can be increased significantly compared to its unreinforced counterpart even when only the central quarter of the member is reinforced. Based on the limited test data, it can be concluded that partial reinforcement is, in general, more effective in members with larger slenderness ratios. A simple design expression is also proposed to predict the compressive strength of RHS columns partially reinforced along their length with welded steel plates by modifying the provisions of AISC 360-10 to account for the partial reinforcement.

In a concrete member under pure tension, the stress in concrete is uniformly distributed over the whole concrete section. It is supposed that a local bond failure occurs at each crack, and there is a relative slip between steel and surrounding concrete. The compatibility of deformation between the concrete and reinforcement is thus not maintained. The bond transfer length is a length of reinforcement adjacent to the crack where the compatibility of strain between the steel and concrete is not maintained because of partially bond breakdown and slip. It is an empirical measure of the bond characteristics of the reinforcement, incorporating bar diameter and surface characteristics such as texture. Based on results from a series of previously conducted long-term tests on eight restrained reinforced concrete slab specimens and material properties including creep and shrinkage of two concrete batches, the ratio of final bond transfer length after all shrinkage cracking, to THE initial bond transfer length is presented.

최근 국내에 사용되고 있는 보강토옹벽 공법은 전면체의 재질, 보강재, 축조방법, 축조경사에 따라 수많은 종류가 제안되었으나 각 공법에 따른 설계방법이나 상세검토항목 등의 규정이 명확하지 않으며 집중호우에 따른 붕괴도 빈번하게 발생하고 있는 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 보강토옹벽의 설계에 있어서 좀 더 안정된 기술적 접근을 위해 설치높이별 단면을 가정하고 단일 강도의 보강재를 사용한 보강토옹벽의 인발파괴와 높이별 최적의 보강재 조합을 산정하고 산정된 각 단면에 대해서 보강길이비(L/H)에 따른 안전율 변화를 통하여 보강재의 최적 설계와 다단식 보강토옹벽의 최적 설계 그리고 보강재인 토목섬유의 재질에 따른 최적 길이비를 산정하여 제시하였다.

This study utilized small-scale physical model tests to investigate the impact of different types of geosynthetics, including geocell, planar geotextile, and wraparound geotextile, on the behaviour of strip footings placed on 0.8 m thick soil fills and backfills with a slope angle of 70°. Bearing capacity and settlement of the footing and failure mechanisms are discussed and evaluated. The results revealed that the bearing capacity of footings situated on both unreinforced and reinforced slopes increased with a greater embedment depth of the footing. For settlement ratios below 4%, the geocell reinforcement exhibited significantly higher stiffness, carrying greater loads and experiencing less settlement compared to the planar and wraparound geotextile reinforcements. However, the performance of geocell reinforcement was influenced by the number and length of the geocell layers. Increasing the geocell back length ratio from 0.44 to 0.84 significantly improved the bearing capacity of the footing located at the crest of the reinforced slope. Adequate reinforcement length, particularly for geocell, enhanced the bearing pressure of the footing and increased the stiffness of the slope, resulting in reduced deflections. Increasing the length of reinforcement also led to improved performance of the footing located on wraparound geotextile reinforced slopes. In all reinforcement cases, reducing the vertical spacing between reinforcement layers from 100 mm to 75 mm allowed the slope to withstand much greater loads.

To study the effect of collar-plate reinforcement on the static strength of tubular T-joints under axial loading, fundamental research work is carried out from both experimental test and finite element (FE) simulation. Through experimental tests on 7 collar-plate reinforced and 7 corresponding un-reinforced tubular T-joints under axial loading, the reinforcing efficiency is investigated. Thereafter, the static strengths of the above 14 models are analyzed by using FE method, and it is found that the numerical results agree reasonably well with the experimental data to prove the accuracy of the presented FE model. Additionally, a parametric study is conducted to analyze the effect of some geometrical parameters, i.e., the brace-to-chord diameter ratio ${\beta}$, the chord diameter-to-chord wall thickness ratio $2{\gamma}$, collar-plate thickness to chord wall thickness ratio ${\tau}_c$, and collar-plate length to brace diameter ratio $l_c/d_1$, on the static strength of a tubular T-joint. The parametric study shows that the static strength can be greatly improved by increasing the collar-plate thickness to chord wall thickness ratio ${\tau}_c$ and the collar-plate length to brace diameter ratio $l_c/d_1$. Based on the numerical results, parametric equations are obtained from curving fitting technique to estimate the static strength of a tubular T-joint with collar-plate reinforcement under axial loading, and the accuracy of these equations is also evaluated from error analysis.
