An analytical methodology for the calculation of the flexural and the shear capacity of concrete members with Fibre-Reinforced-Polymer (FRP) bars as tensional reinforcement is proposed. The flexural analysis is initially based on the design provisions of ACI 440.1R-15 which have properly been modified to develop general charts that simplify computations and provide hand calculations. The specially developed charts include non-dimensional variables and can easily be applied in sections with various geometrical properties, concrete grade and FRP properties. The proposed shear model combines three theoretical considerations to facilitate calculations. A unified flexural/shear approach is developed in flow chart which can be used to estimate the ultimate strength and the expected failure mode of a concrete beam reinforced with longitudinal FRP bars, with or without transverse reinforcement. The proposed methodology is verified using existing experimental data of 138 beams from the literature, and it predicts the load-bearing capacity and the failure mode with satisfactory accuracy.

Since concrete has a low tensile strength compared to the compressive strength, reinforced concrete flexural members represent easy crack occurance under a small load. In order to overcome this problem, steel fiber reinforced concrete has been developed to compensate the tensile strength and brittleness of members. However, in the design formula of the domestic building code, it is not specified in the design formula reflecting the material characteristics. Therefore, the field application of the steel fiber reinforced concrete have had many restrictions. In this study, a flexural tensile strength model of steel fiber reinforced concrete is proposed by collecting and analyzing the material properties of material test results conducted by various researchers, and verified by the test results of cracking and stiffness evaluation of flexural members based on the proposed model. As a result of this study, the flexural tensile strength model of steel fiber reinforced concrete which can reflect the mixing ratio and aspect ratio of the steel fiber was proposed and the validity of the proposed material model equation was evaluated from the load-deflection relationship in the flexural test of the slab member.

Preliminary experimental results are reported on the response of reversed T type linking reinforced concrete shear wall. Different layouts of coupling beams were tested and stiffness degradation and energy dissipation of coupling beams were evaluated. Diagonally reinforced coupling beams with slab showed larger ductility and larger amount of energy absorption to be attained compared with conventionally reinforced concrete coupled beams.

An active application of concrete track is being expected for the future constructions of Korean railroad. For the successful concrete track construction in earthwork areas, proper reinforced subgrades, which effectively distribute train loads to subground, should be installed. In this paper, behaviors of concrete track on the reinforced subgrade with the standard stiffness and depth were investigated through numerical analyses. The appropriateness of the reinforced subgade was evaluated by analyzing the distributions of the settlements and vertical stress beneath the concrete slab.

Due to the recent shortage of river sand resulting from a rapid growth of concrete construction, sea sand is increasingly used in stead. It is, however, well noted that non-washed sea sand used in reinforced concrete causes to corrode reinforcing steel and to incur cracks in concrete, and thus eventually result in damage to concrete. In this study, therefore, measeres that increase the quality of concrete were used to protect the reinforcing steel against corrosion in reinforced concrete construction, and then the corrosion resistance of reinforcing steel compared and analyzed from low quality concrete to high quality concrete.

This paper presents a computational rational model to predict the ultimate and optimized load capacity of reinforced concrete (RC) beams strengthened by a combination of longitudinal and transverse fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composite plates/sheets (flexure and shear strengthening system). Several experimental and analytical studies on the confinement effect and failure mechanisms of fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) wrapped columns have been conducted over recent years. Although typical axial members are large-scale square/rectangular reinforced concrete (RC) columns in practice, the majority of such studies have concentrated on the behavior of small-scale circular concrete specimens. A high performance concrete, known as polymer concrete, made up of natural aggregates and an orthophthalic polyester binder, reinforced with non-metallic bars (glass reinforced polymer) has been studied. The material is described at micro and macro level, presenting the key physical and mechanical properties using different experimental techniques. Furthermore, a full description of non-metallic bars is presented to evaluate its structural expectancies, embedded in the polymer concrete matrix. In this paper, the mechanism of mechanical interaction of smooth and lugged FRP rods with concrete is presented. A general modeling and application of various elements are demonstrated. The contact parameters are defined and the procedures of calculation and evaluation of contact parameters are introduced. The method of calibration of the calculated parameters is presented. Finally, the numerical results are obtained for different bond parameters which show a good agreement with experimental results reported in literature.

This paper presents the results of an investigation aimed at developing reinforced concrete beams consisting of precast permanent U-shaped reinforced mortar forms filled with different types of core materials to be used as a viable alternative to the conventional reinforced concrete beam. To accomplish this objective, an experimental program was conducted and theoretical model was adopted. The experimental program comprised casting and testing of thirty beams of total dimensions $300{\times}150{\times}2,000mm$ consisting of permanent precast U-shaped reinforced mortar forms of thickness 25 mm filled with the core material. Three additional typical reinforced concrete beams of the same total dimensions were also cast to serve as control specimens. Two types of single-layer and double-layers steel meshes were used to reinforce the permanent U-shaped forms; namely welded wire mesh and X8 expanded steel mesh. Three types of core materials were investigated: conventional concrete, autoclaved aerated lightweight concrete brick, and recycled concrete. Two types of shear connections between the precast permanent reinforced mortar form and the core material were investigated namely; adhesive bonding layer between the two surfaces, and mechanical shear connectors. The test specimens were tested as simple beams under three-point loadings on a span of 1,800 mm. The behavior of the beams incorporating the permanent forms was compared to that of the control beams. The experimental results showed that better crack resistance, high serviceability and ultimate loads, and good energy absorption could be achieved by using the proposed beams which verifies the validity of using the proposed system. The theoretical results compared well with the experimental ones.

고강도 재료(고강도 콘크리트, 고강도 철근)가 사용된 철근콘크리트 부재의 전단파괴모드는 보통강도 재료를 사용한 부재의 전단파괴모드와 상이한 결과를 나타낼 수 있다. 고강도 재료가 사용될 경우에 구조설계기준식에서 요구하는 전단보강철근이 먼저 항복한 후에 콘크리트가 압축파괴하는 것과는 다르게, 철근이 항복하기 이전에 콘크리트가 압축파괴할 수 있다. 이 논문에서는 고강도 재료가 사용된 철근콘크리트 부재의 최대철근비를 균형파괴시의 재료의 응력 및 변형률 상태를 이용하여 계산하였다. 제안식에서 최대철근비는 콘크리트의 압축강도와 전단보강철근의 상호관계에 의하여 변화하였다. 제안식은 97개의 철근콘크리트 부재에 대한 실험결과와 비교되었다. 실험결과 및 계산결과는 철근콘크리트 부재의 파괴모드가 전단보강철근의 양과 콘크리트의 압축강도와 밀접한 관계가 있음을 나타내었다.

In this thesis, the fatigue tests were performed on a series of reinforced concrete to Investigate the variation of strength and the safety of reinforced concrete structures under fatigue load. The specimens were of the same rectangular cross-section, of effective height 24cm and width 30cm and their span was 330cm. The three point loading system is used in the fatigue tests. In these tests, the fracture mode of reinforced concrete structures under fatigue load, relationship between the repeated loading cycles and the mid-span displacement of the specimens were observed. According to the test results, the following fatigue behavior of reinforced concrete specimens were observed. By increasing of the number of repeated loading cycles, the mid-span displacement became greater, however the Incremental amounts of the displacement were reduced. It could be also known that the inelastic strain energy of the doubly reinforced rectangular beams was larger than that of the singly reinforced rectangular beams as increasing the number of repeated loading cycles. Compliance of reinforced concrete structures tended to be reduced as increasing the repeated loading cycles, and the compliance of the doubly reinforced rectangular beams was generally smaller than that of the singly reinforced rectangular beams. Based on the above investigation, it could be concluded that the doubly reinforced rectangular beams under fatigue load were more efficient to resist the brittle fracture than the singly reinforced rectangular beams.
