This paper aims to examine the behavior of slender reinforced concrete columns confined with external glass fiber reinforced polymers (GFRP) sheets under eccentric loads. The experimental work conducted in this paper is an extension to previous work by the author concerning the behavior of eccentrically loaded short columns strengthened with GFRP wrapping. In this study, nine reinforced concrete columns divided into three groups were casted and tested. Three eccentricity ratios corresponding to e/t = 0, 0.10, and 0.50 in one direction of the column were tested in each group. The first group was the control one without confinement with slenderness ratio equal 20. The second group was the same as the first group but fully wrapped with one layer of GFRP laminates. The third group was also fully wrapped with one layer of GFRP laminates but having slenderness ratio equal 15. The experimental results of another two groups from the previous work were used in this study to investigate the difference between short and slender columns. The first was control one with slenderness ratio equal 10 and the second was fully wrapped and having the same slenderness ratio. All specimens were loaded until failure. The ultimate load, axial deformation, strain in steel bars, and failure mechanisms of each specimen were generated and analyzed. The results show that GFRP laminates confining system is less effective with slender columns compared with short one, but this solution is still applied and it can be efficiently utilized especially for slender columns with low eccentric ratio.

The primary aim of this study is to develop a three dimensional finite element (FE) model to predict the axial stress-strain relationship and ultimate strength of the FRP-wrapped UHPC columns by comparing experimental results. The reliability of four selected confinement models and three design codes such as ACI-440, CSA-S806-02, and ISIS CANADA is also evaluated in terms of agreement with the experimental results. Totally 6 unconfined and 36 different types of the FRP-wrapped UHPC columns are tested under monotonic axial compression. The values of ultimate strengths of FRP-wrapped UHPC columns obtained from the experimental results are compared and verified with finite element (FE) analysis results and the design codes mentioned above. The concrete damage plasticity model (CDPM) in Abaqus is utilized to represent the confined behavior of the UHPC. The results indicate that agreement between the test results and the non-linear FE analysis results is highly satisfactory. The CSA-S806-02 design code is considered more reliable than the ACI-440 and the ISIS CANADA design codes to calculate the ultimate strength of the FRP-wrapped UHPC columns. None of the selected confinement models that are developed for FRP-wrapped low and normal strength concrete columns can safely predict the ultimate strength of FRP-wrapped UHPC columns.

It has been known that there is a viscoelastic instability in the channel flow past a cylinder at high Deborah (De) number. Some of our numerical simulations and a boundary layer analysis indicated that this instability is related to the shear flow in the gap between the cylinder and the channel walls in our previous work. The critical condition for instability initiation may be related to an inflection velocity profile generated by the normal stress near the cylinder surface. At high De, the elastic normal stress coupling with the streamline curvature is responsible for the shear instability, which has been recognized by the community. In this study, an instability criterion for the flow problem is proposed based on the analysis on the pressure gradient and some supporting numerical simulations. The critical De number for various model fluids is given. It increases with the geometrical aspect ratio h/R (half channel width/cylinder radius) and depends on a viscosity ratio ${\beta}$(polymer viscosity/total viscosity) of the model. A shear thinning first normal stress coefficient will delay the instability. An excellent agreement between the predicted critical Deborah number and reported experiments is obtained.

FRP bar는 높은 인장강도와 경량의 재료로 철근부식문제를 해결할 수 있는 대안으로 대두되고 있다. 그러나 FRP와 콘크리트 모두 취성적인 재료로 철근콘크리트보다 낮은 연성을 갖게 되며, 갑작스러운 파괴를 유발할 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 FRP 보강근을 사용한 휨부재의 압축측을 나선형 보강근으로 구속하여 거동을 개선하고자 하였으며, 구조실험을 통하여 파괴모드의 개선 및 연성증가를 확인할 수 있었다.

Polyacrylamide (PAM) -HgS nanocomposites were successfully prepared in polyacrylamide (PAM) matrix. From TEM and XRD characterizations, the synthesized HgS nanocrystals were chain-like spherical in shape with a diameter of about 40-60 nm and high crystalline quality. The quantum-confined effect of HgS nanocrystals was confirmed by UV-vis diffuse reflection spectra. The optical properties of products were investigated by using photoluminescence (PL) spectra, which showed that HgS nanocrystals exhibited good optical properties with maximum emission peak at about 640 and 650 nm at different reaction temperatures. The interaction of HgS nanocrystals with PAM was studied through FT-IR spectroscopy and TG analysis, which suggested that $Hg^{2+}$ could interact with functional groups of PAM. The experimental results indicated that PAM not only induced nucleation, but also inhibited further growth of HgS crystals and play an important role in the formation of PAM/HgS nanocomposites. In addition, the possible mechanism of HgS nanoparticles growth in PAM solution was also discussed.

This paper aims to study the behavior of short reinforced concrete columns confined with external glass Fiber Reinforced Polymers (GFRP) sheets under eccentric loads. The experimental part of the study was achieved by testing 9 specimens under eccentric compression. Three eccentricity ratios corresponding to e/t = 0, 0.10, 0.50 in one direction of the column were used. Specimens were divided into three groups. The first group was the control one without confinement. The second group was fully wrapped with GFRP laminates before loading. The third group was wrapped under loading after reaching 75% of failure loads of the control specimens. The third group was investigated in order to represent the practical case of strengthening a loaded column with FRP laminates. All specimens were loaded until failure. The results show that GFRP laminates enhances both failure load and ductility response of eccentrically loaded column. Moreover, the study also illustrates the effect of confinement on the first crack load, lateral deformation, strain in reinforcement and failure pattern. Based on the analysis of the experimental results, a simple model has been proposed to predict the improvement of load carrying capacity under different eccentricity ratios. The predicted equation takes into consideration the eccentricity to cross section depth ratio, the ultimate strength of GFRP, the thickness of wrapping laminate, and the time of wrapping (before loading and under loading). A good correlation was obtained between experimental and analytical results.

콘크리트 휨 부재의 내하능력을 개선하는 방법들 중에서, 최근에 와서, 기존의 철근콘크리트 부재에서 사용하는 철근을 대신하여 섬유보강폴리머(FRP) 복합재료 층으로 보강한 콘크리트 부재에 관한 연구가 이루어지고 있다. 본 연구는 휨을 받는 원형단면 FRP 콘크리트 부재의 거동을 예측하기 위한 해석모델에 중점을 두고 있다. FRP층과 내부에 충진된 콘크리트로 이루어진 부재의 응력 및 변형을 예측하기 위하여 층분할 단면해석 모델이 제시되었다. 콘크리트의 압축거동이 횡방향 팽창에 의존한다는 가정과 다축 압축 응력상태의 구성관계에 기초하여 FRP 층으로 둘러 쌓인 콘크리트의 응력변형률 관계를 정식화하였다. 고전적 적층이론에서, FRP 층의 거동은 2차원 적층의 면내거동의 응력-변형률 관계에 기초한 등 가직교재료특성에 기초하여 정식화하였다. 소개된 해석모델의 검증을 위하여 원형단면 FRP 콘크리트 휨 부재의 4점 실험과 비교한 결과, 본 모델은 부재의 모멘트-곡률 관계, 단면에서의 축방향 변형률뿐만 아니라 횡방향 변형률, 그리고 FRP 층으로 인한 콘크리트의 구속효과의 증진에 관한 거동 특성들을 잘 예측해 주었다.

FRP 자켓으로 콘크리트를 보강하는 경우 FRP의 탄성계수에 따라 강도증진효과가 상이하게 나타난다. 본 논문에서는 기존의 데이터를 사용하여 FRP 보강재의 탄성계수에 따른 보강효과를 분석하고, 실용적으로 사용할 수 있는 강도증진 추정모델을 제시하였다. FRP의 탄성계수는 일반 콘크리트의 압축탄성계수와 강재의 탄성계수를 기준으로 세 구간으로 구분하여 비교하였다. FRP의 탄성계수가 증가할수록 추정모델의 기울기 및 y-절편이 증가하는 것을 알 수 있었다. 또한, FRP의 탄성계수가 콘크리트의 압축탄성계수보다 작은 경우 FRP의 보강량이 작으며 보강효과가 없는 것으로 나타났으며, 이러한 경우 선형적인 모델을 사용하기 어렵다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 FRP의 탄성계수가 콘크리트 압축탄성계수보다 약 2배 큰 것만을 사용하는 경우의 보강효과 추정모델을 제시하였다. 본 연구에서 제시한 모델은 y-절편의 구속조건 여부와 상관없이 거의 동일한 결과를 보여 주었으며, 이러한 특징은 강재보강에서도 발견되는 것으로 합리적인 결과라고 판단할 수 있다.

Beam-column joints are recognized as the weak points of reinforcement concrete frames. The ductility of reinforced concrete (RC) frames during severe earthquakes can be measured through the dissipation of large energy in beam-column joint. Retrofitting and rehabilitating structures through proper methods, such as carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP), are required to prevent casualties that result from the collapse of earthquake-damaged structures. The main challenge of this issue is identifying the effect of CFRP on the occurrence of failure in the joint of a cross section with normal ductility. The present study evaluates the retrofitting method for a normal ductile beam-column joint using CFRP under monotonic and cyclic loads. Thus, the finite element model of a cross section with normal ductility and made of RC is developed, and CFRP is used to retrofit the joints. This study considers three beam-column joints: one with partial CFRP wrapping, one with full CFRP wrapping, and one with normal ductility. The two cases with partial and full CFRP wrapping in the beam-column joints are used to determine the effect of retrofitting with CFRP wrapping sheets on the behavior of the beam-column joint confined by such sheets. All the models are subjected to monotonic and cyclic loading. The final capacity and hysteretic results of the dynamic analysis are investigated. A comparison of the dissipation energy graphs of the three connections shows significant enhancement in the models with partial and full CFRP wrapping. An analysis of the load-displacement curves indicates that the stiffness of the specimens is enhanced by CFRP sheets. However, the models with both partial and full CFRP wrapping exhibited no considerable improvement in terms of energy dissipation and stiffness.

1. 배경 최근 IoT 기술이 발전함에 따라 각종 전자기기에 들어가는 센서들이 점점 늘어나고 있다. 특히 사용자 중심의 기기들은 기술이 발전함에 따라 집적화가 이루어지면서, 하나의 기기에서 온도, 습도, 조도 등의 다양한 정보를 처리하고 있다. 이에 따라 더 많은 기능을 사용하기 위해, 소모 전력 또한 점차 증가하고 있다. 그러나 부피는 한정되어 있어, 기존 배터리만으로는 증가하는 소모 전력을 모두 보완하기 어렵다. 또한 대표적인 사용자 중심 기기인 스마트폰에서는, 가장 많은 전력을 소모하는 부분이 점점 커지고 있다. 이에 대한 대책으로 버려지는 에너지를 수확하여 전기적인 에너지로 바꿔주는 에너지 하베스팅 기술이 각광을 받고 있다. 에너지 하베스팅 기술은 바람, 진동, 인체의 움직임 등의 기계적 에너지, 태양광, 실내등의 빛 에너지를 전기적인 에너지로 바꿔주는 기술을 말한다. 본 연구에서는 강유전체 고분자 내부에 양자점이 임베딩된 박막을 이용하여, 스마트폰에서 발생하는 빛 에너지와 손가락으로 디스플레이를 터치할 때 발생하는 기계적인 에너지를 모두 수확할 수 있는 새로운 소자를 제시하였다. 소자 내부에 있는 양자점은 빛 에너지를 산란 혹은 흡수하여 발광한 후, 고분자 내부의 전반사를 통해 양 옆에 있는 태양전지로 빛을 전달한다. 또한 컴포짓의 매트릭스를 이루고 있는 강유전체 폴리머인 P(VDF-TrFE)는 강유전 특성을 통해 마찰전기 에너지를 효율적으로 전기 에너지로 전환할 수 있다. 강유전체 특성에 의해 P(VDF-TrFE) 내부에 정렬된 Polarization은 퀀텀닷에 양자구속 스타크 효과(Quantum Confined Stark Effect)를 일으켜 더 긴 파장을 방출한다. 이렇게 바뀐 파장은 실리콘 태양전지에서 더 많이 흡수할 수 있는 영역으로 방출되어 태양전지 출력의 증가를 일으킨다. 마지막으로 실리콘 태양전지의 출력 증가를 보여줌으로써 이를 실험적으로 입증했다.
