The results of an experimental investigation are presented in this paper for retrofitting of shear damaged reinforced concrete beams by using U shaped CFRP strips. The experimental program is consisted of seven shear deficient T cross sectioned 1/2 scale simply supported beam specimens. One beam was used as reference specimen, and the remaining six specimens were tested in two stages. At the first stage, specimens were shear damaged severely, and then were retrofitted by using CFRP strips with or without fan type anchorages. Finally, retrofitted beams were tested up to failure. Three different CFRP strip spacing were used such as 125 mm, 150 mm, and 200 mm. The effect of anchorages on shear strength and behavior of the retrofitted specimens is investigated. CFRP strips without anchorages improved the shear strength, but no flexural failure mode was observed. Specimens showed brittle shear failure due to peeling of CFRP strip from RC beam surface. Shear damaged specimens retrofitted with anchoraged CFRP strips showed improved shear strength and ductile flexural failure. Maximum strains at anchoraged strips were approximately 68% larger than that of strips without anchorages.

Physical and chemical factors can cause traditional timber constructions to lose structural integrity. Knowing the dynamic properties of the building components is vital to avoid damage to the buildings from dynamic effects, a subset of physical effects. In this work, spruce and scotch pine wooden beams that had been strengthened in three distinct ways with carbon fiber strengthened polymer (CFRP) were investigated for changes in their dynamic properties. For this, CFRP was used to strengthening unstrengthened wooden beams in the form of bottom confinement, U-shaped confinement, and full confinement after the dynamic parameters of the beams were determined. By using experimental modal analysis with both free-free and fixed-fixed boundary conditions, the beams'initial natural frequencies were identified.

본 연구에서는 콘크리트채움 U형 합성보와 H형강 기둥 십자형 합성접합부의 내진상세를 제시하고, 2개의 실물대 실험체를 설계/제작하여 강구조내진기준의 표준실험절차에 따라 내진성능을 평가하였다. 주요 실험체 구성요소는 춤 450mm(실험체 A) 및 550mm(실험체 B) U형 강재보, 두께 165mm의 골데크플레이트 위에 타설된 콘크리트 바닥슬래브, U형보의 완전합성작용을 하기 위한 전단스터드, 부모멘트 전달을 위한 4개의 주철근 및 H형강 기둥에 정착을 위한 용접커플러 그리고 접합부 보강을 위한 보강판으로 구성된다. 순수 강재 보-기둥 접합부와 상이한 U형 합성접합부의 독특한 특성을 고려하여, 지진하중 하에서 내진성능에 결정적 영향을 미치는 보-기둥 접합부의 용접부 취성파단, 강판의 국부좌굴, 주철근의 휨좌굴, 콘크리트 압괴 등의 한계상태가 적절히 제어되도록 실험체를 설계하였다. 강구조내진기준의 지진하중 가력프로그램에 따른 실험결과, 설계에서 의도한 바와 같이 여러 한계상태가 적절히 제어되어 실험체 A 및 B는 각각 6% 및 6.8% 라디안에 이르는 매우 뛰어난 층간변형능력을 발휘하였다. 이는 특수모멘트골조에 요구되는 4% 라디안 수준을 충분히 상회하는 만족스런 층간변형능력이다. 특히 접합부 강화전략에 의해 제안된 합성접합부 상세는 설계에서 의도한 것과 같이 소성힌지를 보강단부로서 밀어냄으로서 취약할 수 있는 보-기둥 용접접합부를 효과적으로 보호하였다. 실험체 A의 최종 파괴모드는 6.0% 층간변위에서 발생한 보강단부에 인접한 냉간성형 코너부의 점진적 저사이클피로에 의한 하부플랜지의 파단에 의해 발생하였다. 한편, 실험체 B는 8.0%의 높은 수준의 층간변위에서 발생한 볼트이음부 파단에 의해 내력을 상실하였다.

본 논문은 시공단계에서 가설지주 설치를 요구하지 않는 역삼각 트러스 거더로 보강된 새로운 합성 데크플레이트 시스템을 제안한다. 제안된 시스템은 기존 시스템 대비 증가된 강성과 강도를 보유할 뿐 아니라 절대 층고 변화를 최소 수준으로 낮출 수 있으며 기존의 H형강 및 U형 합성보와 같은 다양한 형태의 합성보 부재와 함께 사용될 수 있다. 제안된 시스템의 시공단계 하중에 대한 구조적 성능을 평가하기 위해 5.5m의 스팬을 갖는 5개의 시험체를 제작하여 현장 조건과 유사한 재하하중을 단계적으로 적용시켜 실험을 수행하였다. 실험결과로부터 각 시험체 별 하중-변위 그래프를 구해 비선형 3차원 유한요소해석결과와 비교하였다. 비교 결과 보강 트러스 거더와 데크플레이트 사이에 효율적인 하중 분배가 이루어져 두 구조요소가 잘 일체화되었을 뿐 아니라 시공단계 하중에서의 최대 처짐이 건축구조기준의 제한치를 하회하여 사용성 조건을 잘 만족시킴을 알 수 있다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate stresses in the various components of fixed partial dentures restoring the posterior teeth of the lower jaw, and to measure quantitatively the effects of certain modifications in structural design on the stresses in the restorations using two-dimensional photoelasticity. Two-dimensional photoelastic methods were used in this study. Several models of fixed partial dentures were constructed. Shoulder less margins and anatomic occlusal reduction were incorporated in Model 1. Rounded shoulders and flat occlusal reduction were incorporated in Model 2, while Model 3 was a cantilever fixed partial denture. Other similar fixed partial dentures were constructed with V and U notches deliverately included in the region of the fixed joints for comparative reasons. The birefringent materials used in this study were PSM-1 and PSM-5 in standard sheets. PSM-1 was used for constructing the substructure, and PSM-5 was used in making the components of the fixed partial dentures. The two materials were used in the construction of composite photoelastic models. Improved artificial stone was used to represent dental cement in luting the composite photoelastic models. Static loading procedures were used at preplanned sites to represent occlusal loads in the mouth. 35 mm color and B/W film were used to record isochromatics in accordance with photoelastic procedures. Data reduction was performed using the grid method, which helped in, the mathematical integration procedure (Shear difference method) to separate the principal stresses. The results were as follows. 1. Fixed partial dentures do not function in bending as a symmetrical beam. Alternate areas of tension and compression were demonstrated when multiple contact loading was used. 2. The weakest part in posterior fixed partial dentures is the fixed joint. 3. (1) Models I and modified Model I were loaded on the pontic using a 50 pound vertical static load. The shear stress near the posterior fixed joint in Model 1 (U notches) was+129.4 p.s.i., and at the same fixed joint in modified Model 1 (V notches) was+239.4 p.s.i. The concentration of stress in fixed joint was reduced by 50% when U notches replaced the V notches. (2) Modified Model 2 was loaded using a multiple contact loader at a total load of 125 pounds. The difference between the principal stresses (${\sigma}_1-{\sigma}_2$), shear stress, at the V notches was+600 p.s.i., and at the U notches was+3l7 p.s.i. The shear stress was reduced by 50% when U notches replaced the V notches. V-grooves at the fixed joints should be avoided, and should be replaced by regular shaped U-grooves. 4. Cantilever fixed partial dentures had much higher stresses at the fixed joint than fixed partial dentures that were attached at both ends.
