Reinforced dual concrete beam (RDC beam) is the reformed system that improves the overall structural properties of beam by partially applying high performance steel fiber reinforced concrete (HPSFRC) in the lower tension part of conventional reinforced concrete beam (RC beam). Fatigue test was done to prove the structural superiority of RDC beam. As a result of fatigue test, the deflection of RDC beam was decreased obviously and the slope of number of cycle-deflection relation curve of RDC beam was increased gently in comparison with RC beam.

An experimental investigation was carried out on the strength and behavior plain and fiber reinforced geopolymer concrete beam column joints and the results were compared with plain and steel fiber reinforced conventional concrete beam column joints. The volume fraction of fibers used was 0.5%. A total of six Geopolymer concrete joints and four conventional concrete joints were cast and tested under reversed cyclic loading to evaluate the performance of the joints. First crack load, ultimate load, energy absorption capacity, energy dissipation capacity stiffness degradation and moment-curvature relation were evaluated from the test results. The comparison of test results revealed that the strength and behavior of plain and fiber reinforced geopolymer concrete beam column joints are marginally better than corresponding conventional concrete beam column joints.

The performance of an Industrialised Building System (IBS) consists of prefabricated reinforced concrete components, is greatly affected by the behaviour of the connection between beam and columns. The structural characteristics parameters of a beam-to-column connection like rotational stiffness, strength and ductility can be explained by load-rotation relationship of a full scale H-subframe under gravitational load. Furthermore, the connection's degree of rigidity directly influences the behaviour of the whole frame. In this research, rotational behaviour of a patented innovative beam-to-column connection with unique benefits like easy installation, no wet work, no welding work at assembly site, using a hybrid behaviour of steel and concrete, easy replacement ability, and compatibility with architecture was investigated. The proposed IBS beam-to-column connection includes precast concrete components with embedded steel end connectors. Two full-scale H-subframes constructed with a new IBS and conventional cast in-situ reinforced concrete system beam-to-column connections were tested under incremental static loading. In this paper, load-rotation relationship and ratio of the rigidity of IBS beam-to-column connection are studied and compared with conventional monolithic reinforced concrete connection. It is concluded that this new IBS beam-to-column connection benefits from more rotational ductility than the conventional reinforced concrete connection. Furthermore, the semi-rigid IBS connection rigidity ratio is about 44% of a full rigid connection.

본 연구에서는 인장부에 강섬유 보강 콘크리트를 사용하고 압축부 및 나머지 부분에 보통 강도 콘크리트를 사용한 철근 이중 콘크리트 보가 제안된다. 이것은 일반 철근콘크리트의 인장부 하단에 강섬유 보강 콘크리트를 부분적으로 대체함으로써 전체적인 구조적 성능을 개선시킨 혁신적인 구조 시스템이다. RC 보에 비해 RDC 보가 구조적으로 우수함을 입증하기 위해 휨 및 전단 실험이 실시되었다. 또한 강섬유가 보강된 철근콘크리트 보의 휭 거동을 정확히 이해하고 모델링하기 위한 해석적 방법이 제안되어 실험결과와 비교되었다. 전단 거동은 전 단면에 걸쳐 섬유로 보강된 철근콘크리트 보의 전단 강도 예측을 위해 제안된 기존의 경험식 결과와 RU 보의 전단 실험 결과가 비교 분석되었다. 본 연구로부터 RDC 보는 RC 보에 비해 보다 우수한 구조적 성능을 발휘하고, 휨 해석 방법은 실험결과와 잘 일치되는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 인장부 일부에만 부분적으로 섬유를 보강할 경우 극한 전단강도에는 큰 영향을 미치지 못했지만 균열을 제어하고 진전을 억제하며 구조물 파괴모드를 안정적으로 유도하는 것으로 나타났다.

In this study a new innovative method of earthquake-resistant strengthening of reinforced concrete structures is presented for the first time. Strengthening according to this new method consists of the construction of steel fiber ultra-high-strength concrete jackets without conventional reinforcement which is usually applied in the construction of conventional reinforced concrete jackets. An innovative solution is proposed also for the first time that ensures a satisfactory seismic performance of existing reinforced concrete structures, strengthened by using composite materials. The weak point of the use of such materials in repairing and strengthening of old R/C structures is the area of beam-column joints. According to the proposed solution, the joints can be strengthened with a steel fiber ultra-high-strength concrete jacket, while strengthening of columns can be achieved by using CFRPs. The experimental results showed that the performance of the subassemblage strengthened with the proposed mixed solution was much better than that of the subassemblage retrofitted completely with CFRPs.

Steel fiber may be used to raise the effectiveness and safety of reinforced concrete structure and to relax its brittle-fracture behavior. However it is to be clearly stated that the uncertainty for the strength of fiber reinforced concrete(SFRC) is rather increased. Therefore, it is necessary to evaluate the safety of SFRC beam using reliability analysis incorporating realistic uncertainty. This study presents the statistical data and proposes the limit state model to analyze the reliability of SFRC bear In order to verify the efficiency of the proposed limit state model, its numerical application and sensitivity analysis were performed for a continuous SFRC beam. From the results of the numerical analysis, it is founded that the reliability of SFRC beam is significantly difficult from the conventional RC beams and proposed limit state model (or SFRC beam is more rational compared with that for conventional RC beams. Then it may be stated that the reliability analysis of SFRC beams must be carried out for the development of design criteria and the safety assessment.

The use of steel fibers in conventional reinforced concrete increases the strength and ductility under various loading conditions. In order to examine the possibility of the use of these combinations achieving required strength and ductility of a reinforced concrete beam, a refined optimization procedure based on nonlinear layered finite element method and nonlinear programming technique is developed in this study. Six design variables-beam width and depth, fiber volume fraction, amounts of tensile and compressive rebars, and stirrup, and stirrup spacing-are considered. The developed model can be used as a tool in determining the economical use of steel fibers in designing the reinforced steel fibrous concrete beam.

In this study an innovative method of earthquake-resistant strengthening of reinforced concrete structures is presented for the first time. Strengthening according to this new method consists of the construction of steel fiber high-strength concrete jackets without conventional reinforcement which is usually applied in the construction of conventional reinforced concrete jackets (i.e., longitudinal reinforcement, stirrups, hoops). The proposed in this study innovative steel fiber high-strength or ultra high-strength concrete jackets were proved to be much more effective than the reinforced concrete jackets and the FRP-jackets when used for the earthquake-resistant strengthening of reinforced concrete structural members.

In the present study, in reinforced concrete structures, beam-column connections are one of the most critical regions in areas with seismic susceptibility. Proper anchorage of reinforcement is vital to enhance the performance of beam-column joints. Congestion of reinforcement and construction difficulties are reported frequently while using conventional reinforcement detailing in beam-column joints of reinforced concrete structures. An effort has been made to study and evaluate the performance of beam-column joints with joint detailing as per ACI-352 (mechanical anchorage), ACI-318 (conventional hooks bent) and IS-456(full anchorage conventional hooks bent) along with confinement as per IS-13920 and without confinement. Apart from finding solutions for these problems, significant improvements in seismic performance, ductility and strength were observed while using mechanical anchorage in combination with X-cross bars for less seismic prone areas and X-cross bar plus hair clip joint reinforcement for higher seismic prone areas. To evaluate the performances of these types of anchorages and joint details, the specimens were assembled into four groups, each group having three specimens have been tested under reversal loading and the results are presented in this paper.

섬유보강 콘크리트 보의 전단강도와 거동 특성을 규명하기 위해서 이론적 연구를 수행하였다. 섬유보강 콘크리트 보의 단면에 작용하는 전단력은 압축대와 인장대에 의해서 지지된다. 압축대의 전단성능은 단면의 휨모멘트에 의해서 발생하는 수직응력과의 상관관계를 고려하여 정의하였으며, 인장대의 전단성능은 섬유보강 콘크리트의 균열 후 인장강도를 고려하여 정의하였다. 보의 휨변형에 따라서 수직응력의 크기와 분포가 변화하므로, 보의 전단성능은 휭변형의 함수로 정의하였다. 전단성능곡선과 전단요구곡선의 교점에서, 보의 전단강도와 위험단면의 위치가 결정된다. 제안된 설계 방법은 섬유보강 콘크리트와 일반 콘크리트 보를 위한 통합전단강도모델로 사용 할 수 있다.
