With all ensuring the fire resistance structure as a method of setting the required cover thickness to fire, the RC is significantly affected from the standpoint of its structural stability that the compressive strength and elastic modulus is reduced by fire. Normally, the degradation of concrete member exposed to fire is largely dependent on the fire scale and fire condition. There is therefore a need to precisely predict the deterioration and fire damage of the exposed member. Thus, this work estimated the temperature distribution inside a member taking into consideration of the thermal properties by means of finite element method(FEM). The estimation results in a little higher prediction value than the experimental value in surface layer and is almost coincident with the experiment as the heating depth increase. From this work it can be known that the simulation application of FEM using the thermal properties of concrete member in high temperature gives rise to the confident prediction in the prediction of temperature distribution.

본 연구에서는 철근콘크리트 구조물의 보강에 이용되는 유리섬유강화 복합재료(Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer, GFRP) 형상에 관한 연구로서 콘크리트의 피복두께 및 FRP 보강재의 형상(Plate, Box)을 실험 변수로 하여 FRP 보강 철근콘크리트 보의 거동 평가 관한 연구를 수행하였다. 이를 위하여 본 연구에서는 T. J. Teng 등이 제안한 설계식을 이용하여 보강량을 결정하였고 기존의 FRP Plate 보강재의 성능개선을 위하여 FRP Sandwich box 보강재를 설계, 적용하여 보았다. 연구의 결과 예상과 달리 FRP Plate 보강재가 Sandwich box 보강재보다 보강효과가 우수한 것으로 조사되었으며, 이는 보강재 제작상의 한계점 및 core 재료가 너무 약하여 Sandwich box 보강재의 Top Plate와 Bottom Plate가 일체화 거동을 하지 못하여 나타난 결과로 사료된다.

A computer program has been developed for the optimum design of prestressed concrete beams under flexure. Optimum values of prestressing force, tendon configuration, and cross-sectional dimensions are determined subject to constraints on the design variables and stresses. 28 constraints have been used including flexural stresses, cover requirement, the aspect ratios for top and bottom flanges and web part of a beam and ultimate moment. The objective function contains cost of concrete, prestressing force and formwork. Using this function, it is possible to obtain minimum cost design, minimum weight or cross-sectional area of concrete design and minimum prestressing force design. Besides the idealized I-shaped cross-section, which is widely used in literature, a general I-shaped cross-section with eight geometrical design variables are used here. Four examples, one of which is available in the literature and the others are modified form of it, have been solved for minimum cost and minimum cross-sectional area designs and the results are compared. The computer program, which employs modified grid search optimization method, can assist a designer in producing efficient designs rapidly and easily. Considerable savings in computational work are thus made possible.

In this work, a comprehensive approach to model the structural behaviour of Reinforced Concrete (RC) beams subjected to reinforcement corrosion is proposed. The coupled environmental - mechanical damage model developed by some of the authors is enhanced for considering the main effects of corrosion on concrete, on composite interaction between reinforcement bars and concrete and on steel reinforcement. This approach is adopted for reproducing a set of experimental tests on RC beams with different corrosion degrees. After the simulation of the sound beams, the main parameters involved in the relationships characterizing the effects of corrosion are calibrated and tested, referring to one degraded beam. Then, in order to validate the proposed approach and to assess its ability to predict the structural response of deteriorated elements, several corroded beams are analyzed. The numerical results show a good agreement with the experimental ones: in particular, the proposed model properly predicts the structural response in terms of both failure mode and load-deflection curves, with increasing corrosion level.

An analytical model is developed in this paper to predict the shear capacity of reinforced concrete (RC) columns with corroded transverse reinforcements. The shear strength model for corroded RC columns is proposed based on modifying the existing strut-and-tie model, which considers the deformational compatibility between truss and arch mechanisms. The contributions to the shear strength from both truss and arch mechanisms are incorporated in the proposed model. The effects of corrosion level of transverse reinforcements are considered in the proposed model through the minimum residual cross-sectional area of transverse reinforcements and the reduction of concrete compressive strength for the cover area. The shear strengths calculated from the developed model are compared with the experimental results from Vu's study (2017), which consisted of RC columns with corroded transverse reinforcements showing shear failure under the cyclic loading. The comparison results indicate satisfactory correlations. Parametric studies are conducted based on the developed shear strength model to explore the effects of column axial loading, aspect ratios, transverse reinforcements and the corrosion levels in transverse reinforcements to the shear strength of RC columns with corroded transverse reinforcements.

Modeling approach for mesoscopic model of concrete depicting mass transportation and physicochemical reaction is important since there is growing demand for accuracy and computational efficiency of numerical simulation. Mesoscopic numerical simulation considering binder, aggregate and Interfacial Transition Zone (ITZ) generally produces huge number of DOFs, which is inapplicable for full structure. In this paper, a three-dimensional multiscale approach describing three-phase structure of concrete was discussed numerically. An effective approach generating random aggregate in polygon based on checking centroid distance was introduced. Moreover, ITZ elements were built by parallel expanding the surface of aggregates on inner side. By combining mesoscopic model including full-graded aggregate and macroscopic model, cases related to diffusivity and thickness of ITZ, volume fraction and grade of aggregate were studied regarding the consideration of multiscale compensation. Results clearly showed that larger analysis model in multiscale model expanded the diffusion space of chloride ion and decreased chloride content in front of rebar. Finally, this paper addressed some worth-noting conclusions about the chloride distribution and rebar corrosion regarding the configuration of, rebar diameter, concrete cover and exposure period.

The concept of using Steel-concrete (SC) composite walls as retaining walls has recently been introduced by the authors and their effectiveness of resisting out-of-plane loads has also been demonstrated. In this paper, an improved analytical formulation based on partial interaction theory, which has previously been developed by the authors, is presented. The improved formulation considers a new loading condition and also accounts for cracking in concrete to simulate the real conditions. Due to a limited number of test specimens, further finite element (FE)simulations are performed in order to verify the analytical procedure in more detail. It is observed that the results from the improved analytical procedure are in excellent agreement with both experimental and numerical results. Moreover, a detailed parametric study is conducted using the developed FE model to investigate effects of different parameters, such as distance between shear connectors, shear connector length, concrete strength, steel plate thickness, concrete cover thickness, wall's width to thickness ratio, and wall's height to thickness ratio, on the behavior of SC composite walls subjected to out-of-plane loads.

A composite member made of concrete-filled steel tubes (CFT columns) has been recognized for its fire resistance due to the thermal mass effect of concrete inside the steel tube, as shown in various studies. In this study, the fire resistance performance of reinforced CFT columns under constant axial load was evaluated using finite element analysis with ABAQUS. For this purpose, the variables including cross-section size, steel tube thickness, and concrete cover thickness were set, and the temperature distribution in the column cross-section exposed to a standard fire was investigated using heat transfer analysis. Ultimately, a P-M interaction curve was obtained by evaluating the overall residual strength of columns, and the fire resistance time was determined by evaluating axial displacement-time responses due to the reduction in load capacity during fire through stress analysis.

본 연구는 8개의 직접인장실험을 수행하여 축방향 부재의 콘크리트강도에 따른 부착특성과 균열거동을 조사하였다. 주변수는 콘크리트강도로 보통강도 24-25 MPa, 고강도 61-63 MPa이다. 직접인장시험체는 2종류로서 짧은 시험체는 횡균열 사이의 인장부재를 모형화하였고, 긴 시험체는 다수의 횡균열이 발생하는 인장부재를 모형화하였다. 이러한 직접인장실험을 수행하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 부착강도는 압축강도에 비례하여 증가한다. 그러므로 고강도콘크리트에서 응력교란구간의 길이는 더 짧아지고 횡균열 간격이 더 줄어든다. 콘크리트강도가 25MPa에서 61MPa으로 증가하였지만 쪼갬균열하중은 거의 같게 나타났다. 반면에 횡균열하중은 인장강도에 비례하여 증가하였다. 따라서 고강도콘크리트를 사용할 때에 현행 구조설계기준의 정착길이 산정방법은 재고될 필요가 있고, 피복두께와 순철근간격을 더 크게 하든지 횡보강철근의 의무화하는 것이 현행 기준에 추가되기를 권장한다.

현행 콘크리트구조설계기준(2007)은 콘크리트 구조물의 설계에 적용하는 콘크리트의 압축응력 분포로 ACI 318의 등가 직사각형 응력 분포를 규정하고 있다. 단면의 휨강도 해석에는 등가 직사각형 응력 분포가 충분하겠지만, 성능 중심 설계의 한계 상태 검증에는 실제와 가까운 압축응력-변형률 관계가 필요하다. 또 등가 직사각형 응력 분포는 고강도 콘크리트 기둥의 휨강도 해석에 비안전측의 결과를 준다는 것이 알려져 있으므로, 이를 대신하는 새로운 응력 분포 모델이 필요하다. 이 연구에서는 Eurocode와 일본 토목학회의 설계기준에서 채택하고 있는 포물선-직선 형상의 새로운 모델을 제안하였다. 이 응력 분포 모델은 이 연구에서 수행된 압축응력 분포 실험과 타 연구자들의 실험 결과를 분석하여 도출된 것으로서, 보통 강도뿐만 아니라 고강도 콘크리트를 포함한 것이다. 제안 모델의 특성은 미국 ACI 318, 캐나다 CSA, 유럽의 Eurocode, 일본 토목학회 설계기준의 응력 분포 모델과 함께 실험 결과와 비교하여 정리하였다.
