Functionally graded material (FGM) plates can be bonded to the soffit of a beam as a means of retrofitting the RC beam. In such plated beams, tensile forces develop in the bonded plate and these have to be transferred to the original beam via interfacial shear and normal stresses. In this paper, an interfacial stress analysis is presented for simply supported concrete beam bonded with a functionally graded material FGM plate. This new solution is intended for application to beams made of all kinds of materials bonded with a thin plate, while all existing solutions have been developed focusing on the strengthening of reinforced concrete beams, which allowed the omission of certain terms. It is shown that both the normal and shear stresses at the interface are influenced by the material and geometry parameters of the composite beam. This research is helpful for the understanding on mechanical behavior of the interface and design of the FGM-RC hybrid structures.

층고 감소, 내력 증대 등의 장점을 가지고 있는 기존 합성보의 특징 뿐만 아니라 사용 강재량의 감소까지 기대할 수 있는 단부 보강한 합성보(Eco-girder) 시스템이 개발되었다. Eco-girder 시스템의 개념은 효율적인 합성보의 설계를 위해 최대 모멘트가 발생하는 양단부만을 강판을 이용하여 보강하고, 중앙부 모멘트에 의하여 철골보 크기를 결정하는 구조시스템이다. 본 연구에서는 반복 휨하중을 받는 단부보강 합성보의 이력거동을 예측하기 위해 정밀한 FEM(Finite Element Method)보다는 간단한 표현과 동시에 원리에 충실한 수치적분에 의한 면내수치해석방법(Fiber Element Analysis)을 이용하였으며, 선행 연구된 실험 결과와의 비교를 통해 수치해석방법의 타당성을 검증하였다. 또한 기존 합성보와의 이력거동을 비교 분석하였다.

Composite materialsuch as glass-fiber reinforced plastic and carbon-fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) shows anisotropic property and have been widely used for structural members and outfitings of ships. The structural safety of composite structures has been generally evaluated via finite element analysis. This paper presents a technique for updating the finite element model of anisotropic beams or plates via natural frequencies. The finite element model updates involved a compensation process of anisotropic material properties, such as the elastic and shear moduli of orthotropic structural members. The technique adopted was based on a discrete genetic algorithm, which is an optimization technique. The cost function was adopted to assess the optimization problem, which consisted of the calculated and referenced low-order natural frequencies for the target structure. The optimization process was implemented with MATLAB, which includes the finite element updates and the corresponding natural frequency calculations with MSC/NASTRAN. Material properties of a virtual cantilevered orthotropic beam were estimated to verify the presented method and the results obtained were compared with the reference values. Furthermore, the technique was applied to a cantilevered CFRP beam to successfully estimate the unknown material properties.

Repairing and strengthening structural members by bonding composite materials have received a considerable attention in recent years. The major problem when using bonded FRP or steel plates to strengthen existing structures is the high interfacial stresses that may be built up near the plate ends which lead to premature failure of the structure. As a result, many researchers have developed several analytical methods to predict the interface performance of bonded repairs under various types of loading. In this paper, a numerical solution using finite - difference method (FDM) is used to calculate the interfacial stress distribution in beams strengthened with FRP plate having a tapered ends under thermal loading. Different thinning profiles are investigated since the later can significantly reduce the stress concentration. In the present theoretical analysis, the adherend shear deformations are taken into account by assuming a parabolic shear stress through the thickness of both beam and bonded plate. The shear correction factor for I-section beams is also included in the solution. Numerical results from the present analysis are presented to demonstrate the advantages of use the tapers in design of strengthened beams.

Laminated composite plates are very useful in various fields of engineering where high strength-to-weight and stiffness-to-weight ratios are required. Design optimization of composite structures has gained importance in recent years as the engineering applications of fiber reinforced materials have increased and weight savings has become an essential design objective. However, due to the anisotropic material properties of laminated composite structure it is very difficult to analyze and design. In this study, numerical optimization technique together with the finite element method is used to find the optimum design of FRP. Various combination of fiber orientation for the laminate layers are investigated and several local optimum solutions are found.

In this paper, a closed-form rigorous solution for interfacial shear stress in simply supported beams strengthened with bonded prestressed E-FGM plates and subjected to an arbitrarily positioned single point load, or two symmetric point loads is developed using linear elastic theory. This improved solution is intended for application to beams made of all kinds of materials bonded with a thin plate, while all existing solutions have been developed focusing on the strengthening of reinforced concrete beams, which allowed the omission of certain terms. The theoretical predictions are compared with other existing solutions. Finally, numerical results from the present analysis are presented to study the effects of various parameters of the beams on the distributions of the interfacial shear stresses. The results of this study indicated that the E-FGM plate strengthening systems are effective in enhancing flexural behavior of the strengthened RC beams.

거더와 가로보를 포함하는 많은 교량시스템과 콘크리트 상판은 특별직교이방성 판처럼 거동한다. 그런데 Navier나 Levy의 해로 해결할 수 없는 경계조건을 가졌거나, 불규칙 단면을 가진 경에에 해석해를 얻기 것이 매우 어렵다. 더구나 이러한 경우, 고유치 문제에 대한 수치해법은 너무 복잡하다. 그러나 불규칙 단면을 갖는 보와 탑에 대해, 첫 번째 진동모드에 해당하는 고유진동수를 계산하는 방법이 1974년 '김'에 의해 개발되어 발표되었다. 최근에 이 방법은 2차원 문제로 확장되었고 전단변형이 고려된 복합판에 적용되어 왔다. 본 연구에서는 이 방법을 다양한 경계조건을 갖는 특별직교이방성 복합적층판에 적용하여 타당성을 검토하고 그 해석결과를 제시한다.

본 연구에 사용된 U-형 복합보는 슬래브는 철근콘크리트구조로 되어 있고, 슬래브를 지지해 주는 보는 철골구조와 철근콘크리트구조, 그리고 U-형 강판으로 이루어져 있다. U-형 복합보는 시공성이 우수하고 낮은 층고와 장경간이 가능하기 때문에 공작물 주차장으로 사용하기 위한 목적으로 개발되었다. 시공성 향상을 위해 U-형 복합보 단부는 규격화된 H형강으로 계획하여 기둥에 직접 접합시키고, 강재 물량을 감소시키기 위해 U-형 복합보의 중간 부분에는 H형강 대신 얇은 강판(t=6)을 사용하여 U자형 형태로 접은 U-형 강판으로 구성되어 있다. U형 강판이 위치하는 복합보 중앙부에는 보의 춤을 작게 계획함으로서 공작물 주차장의 제한 높이에 만족하도록 계획할 수 있다. 낮은 보의 춤은 층고 단축에는 유리하지만 휨성능에는 저해 요인이 되기 때문에 춤 변화에 따른 구조성능을 파악하는 것이 중요하다. 또한, U-형 복합보는 철골구조와 철근콘크리트구조 및 U-형 강판이 혼합되어 있기 때문에 일체성 확보가 구조성능을 확보하는데 큰 영향을 준다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 U-형 복합보의 춤을 변화에 따른 구조성능을 파악하기 위한 구조실험을 실시하였다. 실험체는 일반주차장용으로 계획된 실험체를 기준실험체로 하여 춤을 변화시킨 2개의 실험체를 포함하여 총 3개를 계획하였다. 실험결과 춤을 크게 계획한 실험체가 기준실험체보다 항복강도, 최대강도, 에너지 등 구조성능이 우수하게 나타났다.

본 논문은 첨가질량이 있는 양단 단순지지 타단 자유단의 경계조건을 갖는 특별 직교 이방성 적층복합판에 대한 적용례로 제시한다. 구조물 설계시 설계자들은 구조물의 정확한 고유진동수를 계산할 필요성을 느끼나 정확한 해답을 얻기란 매우 어렵다. Pretlove는 유효질량 개념을 사용하여 첨가질량을 갖는 보의 해석 방법을 발표하였다. 그러나 이 방법은 단순보의 경우에만 유용할 뿐이다. 그러므로 본 논문에선 해석법이 간단하고, 정확하며, 임의의 경계조건과 단면을 가진 판의 해석에 매우 효과적인 김덕현의 방법으로 첨가질량이 있는 적층복합판의 고유진동수를 계산하였다.

The use of Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) to strengthen steel structures has attracted the attention of researchers greatly. Previous studies demonstrated bonding of CFRP plates to the steel sections has been a successful method to increase the mechanical properties. However, the main limitation to popular use of steel/CFRP strengthening system is the concern on durability of bonding between steel and CFRP in various environmental conditions. The paper evaluates the performance of I-section steel beams strengthened with pultruded CFRP plate on the bottom flange after exposure to diverse conditions including natural tropical climate, wet/dry cycles, plain water, salt water and acidic solution. Four-point bending tests were performed at specific intervals and the mechanical properties were compared to the control beam. Besides, the ductility of the strengthened beams and distribution of shear stress in adhesive layer were investigated thoroughly. The study found the adhesive layer was the critical part and the performance of the system related directly to its behavior. The highest strength degradation was observed for the beams immersed in salt water around 18% after 8 months exposure. Besides, the ductility of all strengthened beams increased after exposure. A theoretical procedure was employed to model the degradation of epoxy adhesive.
