Precast concrete structure has many advantages, but the assembled seam will affect potentially the overall seismic performance of structure. Based on the sidewall joint located in the bottom of assembled monolithic subway station, the main objectives of this study are, on one hand to present an experimental campaign on the seismic behavior of precast sidewall joint (PWJ) and cast-in-place sidewall joint (CWJ) subjected to low-cycle repeated loading, and on the other hand to explore the effect of shape and position of assembled seam on load carrying capacity and crack width of precast sidewall joint. Two full-scale specimens were designed and tested. The important index of failure pattern, loading carrying capacity, deformation performance and crack width were evaluated and compared. Based on the test results, a series of different height and variably-shape of assembled seam of precast sidewall joint were considered. The test and numerical investigations indicate that, (1) the carrying capacity and deformation capacity of precast sidewall and cast-in-place sidewall were very similar, but the crack failure pattern, bending deformation and shearing deformation in the plastic hinge zone were different obviously; (2) the influence of the assembled seam should be considered when precast underground structures located in the aquifer water-bearing stratum; (3) the optimal assembled seam shape and position can be suggested for the design of precast underground concrete structures according to the analysis results.

이 논문에서는 프리캐스트 콘크리트와 현장타설 콘크리트 그리고 긴장된 강재와 긴장되지 않은 강재 등으로 구성되는 합성단면에서 콘크리트 장기변형의 내부구속에 의한 잔류응력과 긴장력 손실을 해석하였다. 이 해석결과로부터 사용 중에 도입되는 추가 긴장력으로 합성거더를 보강하는 경우에 필요한 추가 긴장력의 설계식과 저항모멘트 평가식이 제안되었다. 제안된 식은 일차 긴장력의 손실률이 설계규준의 일괄손실 등에 의해 과대평가되는 경우에 허용응력으로부터 결정되는 추가 긴장력 또한 과대평가 될 수 있음을 보여준다. 일반적으로 많이 사용되는 AASHTO Type 5 거더의 합성단면에 대해 이 논문의 해석방법을 적용 및 검토하였다. 프리캐스트 콘크리트 거더에 추가 긴장력이 도입되는 경우 일차 긴장력과 추가 긴장력의 손실률은 합성거더에 도입되는 경우보다 작았으나, 저항모멘트는 합성거더에 추가 긴장력이 도입되는 경우 상당히 증가하였다. 합성거더에 도입된 추가 긴장력의 보강효과는 매우 우수하였다.

This study proposes a procedure for evaluating the seismic performance and retrofit of a typical reinforced building (R/C) school buildings contructed in the 1980s. The procedure is derived from the Japanese Standard for Evaluation of Seismic Capacity of Existing Reinforced Concrete Buildings and Nonlinear Static Procedure (NSP) specified in Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA 356). In this study, the Japanese Standard was applied for evaluating the additionally required seismic performance in the existing school building. Cast-in-place (CIP) reinforced concrete infill walls and steel braces were used to seismically retrofit the existing school building located in the region of Hongsung in Chungnam. In the pushover analysis, i.e NSP, the hinge properties of columns, beams, infill walls and steel braces were carefully calibrated based on the existing experiment results in the available literatures. The predicted seismic performance for the retrofitted building was compared to that for the virgin building. Based on the seismic evaluation with the Japanese Standard and the FEMA 356 criteria, the addition of CIP reinforced concrete infill walls and steel braces have superior constructablility and can improve effectively the seismic performance of the existing school buildings constructed in 1980s.

Bi-directional load test is one of O-cell tests. The O-cell test is a system which may be used for performing static load tests on cast in situ reinforced concrete bored piles. The technique was devised and developed by Osterberg of Northwestern University(USA) and has been in use around the world. The principle of the method is that an O-cell is installed in a cast in situ bored pile base. Once the pile concrete reaches its design strength the cell is connected to an hydraulic pump and pressured. Pressurization causes the cell to expand, developing an upward force on the section of pile above the cell loads, pile movements and strains within the pile then enable the capacity of the pile and its load settlement curves to be ascertained. The O-cell pile load test with variable end plate is operated on second steps - the first step is to confirming end bearing capacity with variable end plate and the second step is similar to the conventional O-cell test. In the study, To calculate ultimate capacity of bi-directional load test using model with the pile with variable end plate O-cell.

The use of prestressed concrete box girder bridges built by segmentally balanced cantilevers has bloomed in the last decades due to its significant structural and construction advantages in complex topographies. In Colombia, this typology is the most common solution for structures with spans ranging of 80-200 m. Despite its popularity, excessive deflections in bridges worldwide evidenced that time-dependent effects were underestimated. This problem has led to the constant updating of the creep and shrinkage models in international code standards. Differences observed between design processes of box girder bridges of the Colombian code and Eurocode, led to the need for a validation of in-service status of these structures. This study analyzes the long-term behavior of the Tablazo bridge with data scarcity. The measured leveling of this structure is compared with a finite-element model that consider the most widely used creep and shrinkage models in the literature. Finally, an adjusted model evidence excessive deflection on the bridge after six years. Monitoring of this bridge typology in Colombia and updating of the current design code is recommended.

Retrofitting is an alteration of existing member or component of the structure. In civil engineering point of view, it is called strengthening of the old structure. Deterioration of structures may be due to aging, corrosion, failure of joints, earthquake forces, increase in service loads, etc. Such structures need urgent repair, retrofitting and strengthening to avoid collapse, cracking and loss in strength or deflection. Advanced techniques are required to be developed for the repair of structural components to replace conventional techniques. This paper focuses exclusively on torsional behaviour of Reinforced Concrete (RC) beams and retrofitted RC beams wrapped with aramid fiber. Beams were retrofitted with aramid fiber by full wrapping and in the form of 150 mm wide strips at a spacing of 100 mm, 150 mm, 200 mm respectively using epoxy resin and hardener. A total 15 numbers of RC beams of 150 mm×300 mm×1300 mm in size were cast, 3 beams are tested as control specimens, and 12 beams are tested for torsion up to the failure and then retrofitted with aramid fiber. Experimental results are validated with the help of data obtained by finite element analysis using ANSYS. The full wrapping configuration of aramid fiber regains 105% strength after retrofitting. With the increase in spacing of fabric material, torsional strength reduces to 82% with about 45% saving in material.

최근 들어, 지하주차장과 같은 모듈화 건물에 프리캐스트 콘크리트와 현장타설 콘크리트가 함께 사용되는 복합공법의 사용이 증가하고 있다. 일반적으로 프리캐스트 콘크리트는 공장에서 선 제작되기 때문에 재료의 효율성을 극대화하기 위해 프리텐션을 도입하여 사용한다. 현행 구조기준이 긴장력이 가해진 단일 단면의 전단 강도식은 제시하지만 긴장력이 가해진 프리캐스트와 현장타설 콘크리트 합성단면의 전단강도식은 제시하지 못하고 있는 실정이다. 따라서 긴장력이 가해진 합성 부재의 전단강도 실험을 통해 긴장력이 전단강도에 미치는 영향과 합성부재의 전단강도 산정시 고려해야할 사항에 대해 알아보았다. 변수로는 콘크리트의 면적비, 긴장재의 긴장력, 전단 경간비, 그리고 전단철근비를 고려하였다. 실험 결과를 분석해보면, 전단강도는 긴장력 크기와 긴장력이 가해진 단면의 면적비가 커질수록 증가하였고 전단경간비가 증가할수록 감소하였다.

To avoid premature damage to the connection joints of a conventional precast concrete shear wall, a new precast concrete shear wall system (NPSW) based on a plastic damage relocation design concept was proposed. Five specimens, including one monolithic cast-in-place concrete shear wall (MSW) as a reference and four NPSWs with different connection details (TNPSW, INPSW, HNPSW, and TNPSW-N), were designed and tested by lateral low-cyclic loading. To accurately assess the damage relocation effect and quantify the damage and deformation, digital image correlation (DIC) and conventional data acquisition methods were used in the experimental program. The concrete cracking development, crack area ratio, maximum residual crack width, curvature of the wall panel, lateral displacement, and deformed shapes of the specimens were investigated. The results showed that the plastic damage relocation design concept was effective; the initial cracking occurred at the bottom of the precast shear wall panel (middle section) of the proposed NPSWs. The test results indicated that the crack area ratio and the maximum residual crack width of the NPSWs were less than those of the MSW. The NPSWs were deformed continuously; significant distortions did not occur in their connection regions, demonstrating the merits of the proposed NPSWs. The curvatures of the middle sections of the NPSWs were lower than that of the MSW after a drift ratio of 0.5%. Among the NPSWs, HNPSW demonstrated the best performance, as its crack area ratio, concrete damage, and maximum residual crack width were the lowest.

Due to the fast development of constructions in recent years, there has been a rapid consumption of fresh water and river sand. In the production of concrete, alternatives such as sea water and sea sand are available. The near surface mounted (NSM) technique is one of the most important methods of strengthening. Aluminum alloy (AA) bars are non-rusting and suitable for usage with sea water and sand concrete (SSC). The goal of this study was to enhance the shear behaviour of SSC-beams strengthened with NSM AA bars. Twenty-four RC beams were cast from fresh water river sand concrete (FRC) and SSC before being tested in four-point flexure. All beams are the same size and have the same internal reinforcement. The major factors are the concrete type (FRC or SSC), the concrete degree (C25 or C50 with compressive strength = 25 and 50 MPa, respectively), the presence of AA bars for strengthening, the direction of AA bar reinforcement (vertical or diagonal), and the AA bar ratio (0, 0.5, 1, 1.25 and 2 %). The beams' failure mechanism, load-displacement response, ultimate capacity, and ductility were investigated. Maximum load and ductility of C25-FRC-specimens with vertical and diagonal AA bar ratios (1%) were 100,174 % and 140, 205.5 % greater, respectively, than a matching control specimen. The ultimate load and ductility of all SSC-beams were 16-28 % and 11.3-87 % greater, respectively, for different AA bar methods than that of FRC-beams. The ultimate load and ductility of C25-SSC-beams vertically strengthened with AA bar ratios were 66.7-172.7 % and 89.6-267.9 % higher than the unstrengthened beam, respectively. When compared to unstrengthened beams, the ultimate load and ductility of C50-SSC-beams vertically reinforced with AA bar ratios rose by 50-120 % and 45.4-336.1 %, respectively. National code proposed formulae were utilized to determine the theoretical load of tested beams and compared to matching experimental results. The predicted theoretical loads were found to be close to the experimental values.

종래의 시멘트 모르터 그라우트 방식에 의한 제자리 콘크리트 말뚝은 시공후 자기수축 및 건조수축 등에 의하여 말뚝의 내력이 저하하고, 지하수에 의하여 재료분리가 발생하며, 많은 단위시멘트량에 의한 비경제성 등이 문제시되고 있다. 그러므로 본 연구는 팽창제 및 플라이애쉬 등 각종 혼화재료를 이용한 제자리 콘크리트 말뚝용 고성능 시멘트 모르터의 역학적 성질이 분석되었다. 실험결과 팽창재 혼입율이 증가함에 따라 유동성은 감소하고, 공기량은 증가하며, 응결시간은 지연되고 압축강도는 7일에서는 감소하나 28일 및 91일 재령인 경우는 팽창제혼입율 5%에서 약간 상승하는 것으로 나타났다. 플라이애쉬치환율이 증가함에 따라 유동성은 양호해지고, 공기량은 증가하며, 응결시간은 지연되고 압축강도는 약간 감소하였다. 또한 길이변화특성은 팽창재혼입율이 증가할수록 크게 팽창하고, 플라이애쉬치환율이 증가할수록 수축은 작은 것으로 나타났다.
