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.

기존의 철근 콘크리트 구조물에서 나타나는, 극한 환경하에서의 철근의 부식 문제 때문에 GFRP 보강근으로 철근을 대체하고 있다. 최근 들어 GFRP를 보강근으로 사용한 보의 성능에 대한 해석적, 실험적 연구가 지속적으로 행해지고 있지만 아직 철근 콘크리트 보의 연구에 대한 수에 비하여 이에 대한 연구 결과는 매우 적어 신뢰성을 얻기 힘든 상황이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 겹침이음된 GFRP 보강근을 보에 적용하여 모멘트-처짐 관계에 대한 실험적 연구를 수행하였다. 실험 변수는 GFRP의 보강비와 피복 두께에 대한 것으로 총 6개의 GFRP 보강 콘크리트 보의 실험체가 제작되었다. 모든 실험체는 4000mm의 스팬을 가지고 있으며 12.7mm의 지름을 가지는 GFRP 보강근을 사용하였다. 보강근이 겹침이음된 부분에 일정한 모멘트가 작용하게 하기 위해 2점 가력 방식을 사용하였다. 실험 결과 보강근비의 증가에 따라 극한 하중의 크기가 증가하였다. 파괴 모드는 보강근비에 따라 매우 민감하게 변화하였으며 피복 두께는 인장측의 콘크리트의 탈락에 의해 최대 강도와 처짐량을 결정하는 요인이 되는 것으로 나타났다.

The present paper investigates the curvature ductility of confined reinforced concrete (RC) beams with normal (NSC) and high strength concrete (HSC). For the purpose of predicting the curvature ductility factor, an analytical model was developed based on the equilibrium of internal forces of confined concrete and reinforcement. In this context, the curvatures were calculated at first yielding of tension reinforcement and at ultimate when the confined concrete strain reaches the ultimate value. To best simulate the situation of confined RC beams in flexure, a modified version of an ancient confined concrete model was adopted for this study. In order to show the accuracy of the proposed model, an experimental database was collected from the literature. The statistical comparison between experimental and predicted results showed that the proposed model has a good performance. Then, the data generated from the validated theoretical model were used to train the artificial neural network (ANN) prediction model. The R² values for theoretical and experimental results are equal to 0.98 and 0.95, respectively which proves the high performance of the ANN model. Finally, a parametric study was implemented to analyze the effect of different parameters on the curvature ductility factor using theoretical and ANN models. The results are similar to those extracted from experiments, where the concrete strength, the compression reinforcement ratio, the yield strength, and the volumetric ratio of transverse reinforcement have a positive effect. In contrast, the ratio and the yield strength of tension reinforcement have a negative effect.

An experimental study was conducted to investigate the effectiveness of transverse reinforcement in reinforced concrete tied columns subjected to monotonically increasing axial compression. Eighteen large-scale columns(260$\times$260$\times$120mm) were fabricated to simulate similarly an actual structural members size. Effects of main variables such as the concrete compressive strength, the tie configuration, the transverse reinforcement ratio, the tie spacing, and the spatting of the concrete cover were studied in this research program.

Test results of four reinforced concrete two-span continuous deep beams are summarized. Main variables were the configuration of web opening reinforcement. Shear span-to-overall depth ratio and the size of the web opening were fixed by 1.0 and 0.5 a $\times$ 0.2 h, respectively. To control diagonal crack and enhance strength, it can be recommended that diagonal reinforcement crossing the crack plane joining between loading points and corner of openings should be provided.

Objective of this study is to understand the diagonal reinforcement around openings on the control of diagonal crack, load distribution, and ultimate strength of reinforced concrete two-span continuous deep beams. Test results of four specimens showed that the strength lost by openings might be completed when diagonal reinforcement ratio was above 0.0014.

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.

This paper presents flexural test results of concrete beams reinforced with GFRP and conventional steel reinforcement for comparison. The beams were tested under static loading to investigate the effects of reinforcement ratio and compressive ,strength of concrete on cracking, deflection, ultimate capacity and mode of failure, This study attempts to establish a theoretical basis for the development of simple and rational design guideline. Test results show that ultimate capacity increases as the reinforcement ratio and concrete strength increase. The ultimate capacity increased up to $8\%-25\%$ by using high strength concrete. The deflection at maximum load of GFRP reinforced beams was about three times that of steel reinforced beams. For GFRP-reinforced beams, the ACI code 440 design method resulted in conservative flexural strength -estimates.

This paper focuses on the free vibration analysis of axially functionally graded (FG) Euler-Bernoulli beams. The material properties of the beams are assumed to obey the linear law distribution. The complexities in solving differential equation of transverse vibration of composite beams which limit the analytical solution to some special cases are overcome using the Differential Transformation Method (DTM). Natural frequencies and corresponding normalized mode shapes are calculated. Validation targets are experimental data or finite element results. Different parameters such as reinforcement distribution, ratio of the reinforcement Young's modulus to the matrix Young's modulus and ratio of the reinforcement density to the matrix density are taken into investigation. The delivered results prove the capability and the robustness of the applied method. The studied parameters are demonstrated to be very crucial for the normalized natural frequencies and mode shapes.

This paper describes the numerical modelling of an interior slab-column connection to investigate the punching shear resistance of reinforced concrete (RC) slabs under fire conditions. Parameters of the study were the fire direction, flexural reinforcement ratio, load levels, shear reinforcement and compressive strength of concrete. Moreover, the efficiency of the insulating material, gypsum, in reducing the heat transferred to the slab was assessed. Validation studies were conducted comparing the simulation results to experiments from the literature and common codes of practice. Temperature dependencies of both concrete and reinforcing steel bars were considered in thermo-mechanical analyses. Results showed that there is a slight difference in temperature endurance of various models with respect to concrete with different compressive strengths. It was also concluded that compared to a slab without gypsum, 10-mm and 20-mm thick gypsum reduce the maximum heat transferred to the slab by 45.8% and 70%, respectively. Finally, it was observed that increasing the flexural reinforcement ratio changes the failure mode from flexural punching to brittle punching in most cases.
