This paper described the shear strengthening effect by deviator location in pre-damaged reinforced concrete (RC) beams strengthened with externally post-tensioning steel rods. Three reinforced concrete beams as control beam and eight post-tensioned beams using external steel rods were tested to fail in shear. The externally post-tensioning material was a steel rod of 22 mm diameter, and it had a 655 MPa yield strength and an 805 MPa tensile strength. Specimens depend on multiple variables, such as the number of deviators, location of deviator, and load pattern. The pre-damaged loads up to about 2/3 of ultimate shear capacities were applied to specimens using displacement control and the diagonal shear crack just occurred at these loading levels. And then, the post-tensioning up to when a strain of steel rod reaches about $2000{\mu}{\varepsilon}$ was continuously applied to beam. A displacement control was changed to a load control during post-tensioning. The post-tensioning resulted in increase of load-carrying capacity and restoration of existing deflection. Also, it prevented the existing diagonal cracks from excessively growing. Two deviators effectively improved the load capacity when compared with in case of test which one deviator at mid-span installed. When deviators were located near region which the diagonal crack occurred on, the strengthening impact by post-tensioning was greater.

Wavelet transforms are the emerging signal-processing tools for damage identification and time-frequency localization. A small perturbation in a static or dynamic displacement profile could be captured using multi-resolution technique of wavelet analysis. The paper presents the wavelet analysis of damaged linear structural elements using DB4 or BIOR6.8 family of wavelets. Starting with a localized reduction of EI at the mid-span of a simply supported beam, damage modeling is done for a typical steel and reinforced concrete beam element. Rotation and curvature mode shapes are found to be the improved indicators of damage and when these are coupled with wavelet analysis, a clear picture of damage singularity emerges. In the steel beam, the damage is modeled as a rotational spring and for an RC section, moment curvature relationship is used to compute the effective EI. Wavelet analysis is performed for these damage models for displacement, rotation and curvature mode shapes as well as static deformation profiles. It is shown that all the damage indicators like displacement, slope and curvature are magnified under higher modes. A localization scheme with arbitrary location of curvature nodes within a pseudo span is developed for steady state dynamic loads, such that curvature response and damages are maximized and the scheme is numerically tested and proved.

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.

The inclusion of a ductile steel bracing as means of repairing an earthquake-damaged bridge bent is evaluated and experimentally assessed for the purposes of restoring the damaged bent's strength and stiffness and further improving the energy dissipation capacity. The study is focused on substandard reinforced concrete multi-column bridge bents constructed in the 1950 to mid-1970 in the United States. These types of bents have numerous deficiencies making them susceptible to seismic damage. Large-scale experiments were used on a two-column reinforced concrete bent to impose considerable damage of the bent through increasing amplitude cyclic deformations. The damaged bent was then repaired by installing a ductile fuse steel brace in the form of a buckling-restrained brace in a diagonal configuration between the columns and using post-tensioned rods to strengthen the cap beam. The brace was secured to the bent using steel gusset plate brackets and post-installed adhesive anchors. The repaired bent was then subjected to increasing amplitude cyclic deformations to reassess the bent performance. A subassemblage test of a nominally identical steel brace was also conducted in an effort to quantify and isolate the ductile fuse behavior. The experimental data from these large-scale experiments were analyzed in terms of the hysteretic response, observed damage, internal member loads, as well as the overall stiffness and energy dissipation characteristics. The results of this study demonstrated the effectiveness of utilizing ductile steel bracing for restoring the bent and preventing further damage to the columns and cap beams while also improving the stiffness and energy dissipation characteristics.

The final objectives of this study are to present the theoretical formula for reasonable structural analysis and practical codes on the repair/strengthening of damaged reinforced concrete structrues. For that purpose, in last year, preliminary experiments for flexure and shear of beam structure using carbon sheet and steel plate were performed, and in sequence, in this year, using aramid fiber sheet and steel plate more extensive experiment were performed. Repair for the performance of flexure and shear was focused on, and main variables were selected considering aplicablilty for practical field, such as, spacing of anchor bolt, lapping, jacking up, preloading level, and fiber difection as well as length of repairing plate and thickness. so new results from various angles are to be presented.

본 연구의 목적은 철근콘크리트 휨 부재에 탄소섬유시트, 유리섬유시트, PET(polyethylene terephthalate) 섬유 등을 이용하여 보강했을 때, 보강재 종류, 보강재 물성, 보강량 등에 따른 보강효과를 파악하는 것이다. 변수별 보강효과를 파악하기 위해 가상의 휨부재를 기준실험체로 선정하여, 기준실험체에 대해 항복단면과 극한단면일 때의 모멘트-곡률 관계를 파악하였다. 보강하지 않은 기준실험체에 보강재 종류, 보강재 물성, 보강량 등 다양한 변수를 적용하여 총 11개의 실험체의 모멘트-곡률 곡선을 비교하였다. 분석 결과, 보강하지 않은 실험체에 비해 보강한 실험체의 휨강도는 높게 나타났다. 그러나 연성에 대해서는 보강하지 않은 기준실험체가 가장 우수한 것으로 나타났다. 변수별 휨 보강효과는 보강량이 많고, 파괴시 재료강도가 높을수록 우수하게 나타났으며, 연성효과는 보강재의 파괴시 변형률이 높을수록 우수한 것으로 나타났다. 손상 전과 손상 후의 보강효과에 대해서는 휨보강 효과와 연성효과 모두 10% 이내로 미미하게 나타나 손상상태에 있더라도 온전한 상태로 해석해도 큰 차이가 없을 것으로 판단된다.

In this study, the behavior of the number of anchorage bolts on the glass-fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) plates adhered to the surfaces of reinforcing concrete (RC) T-beams was investigated analytically. The analytical results were compared to the test results in term of shear strength, and midpoint displacement of the beam. The modelling of the beams was conducted in ABAQUS/CAE finite element software. The Concrete Damaged Plasticity (CDP) model was used for concrete material modeling, and Classical Metal Plasticity (CMP) model was used for reinforcement material modelling. Model-1 was the reference specimen with enough sufficient shear reinforcement, and Model-2 was the reference specimen having low shear reinforcement. Model-3, Model-4 and Model-5 were the specimens with lower shear reinforcement. These models consist of a single variable which was the number of anchorage bolts implemented to the GFRP plates. The anchorage bolts of 2, 3, and 4 were mutually mounted on each GFRP plates through the beam surfaces for Model-3, Model-4, and Model-5, respectively. It was found that Model-1, Model-3, Model-4 and Model-5 provided results approximately equal to the test results. The results show that the shear strength of the beams increased with increasing of anchorage numbers. While close results were obtained for Model-1, Model-3, Model-4 and Model-5, in Model-2, the rate of increase of displacement was higher than the increase of load rate. It was seen, finite element based ABAQUS program is inadequate in the modeling of the reinforced concrete specimens under shear force.

Concrete is the well-used material in many architectural and civil structures. The behavior of concrete does exhibit a different characteristic in compression and tension, and it also shows an inelastic-nonlinear behavior. In addition, the concrete properties vary slightly depending on the environmental factor and manufacturer. These properties of concrete make the modeling or simulation of concrete material difficult. In reinforced concrete, particularly, there is a difficulty in bond-slip relationship between concrete and steel. However, in this paper, reserving remainder of these limits the finite element analysis for reinforced concrete beams through ABAQUS simulation has been carried out with some assumptions. Assumptions include the perfect bond of steel and concrete as well as the concrete damaged plasticity (CDP) in concrete property. There is a reasonable agreement between the experimental and numerical results, although the analytical strength and external rod deformation are slightly overestimated. The average and standard deviation between two results are 1.05 and 0.05, respectively. And the models and the computations lead to the evolution of fracture in bending beam.

This study presents a new beam-column model comprising material nonlinearity and joint flexibility to predict the nonlinear response of reinforced concrete structures. The nonlinear behavior of connections has an outstanding role on the nonlinear response of reinforced concrete structures. In presented research, the joint flexibility is considered applying a rotational spring at each end of the member. To derive the moment-rotation behavior of beam-column connections, the relative rotations produced by the relative slip of flexural reinforcement in the joint and the flexural cracking of the beam end are taken into consideration. Furthermore, the considered spread plasticity model, unlike the previous models that have been developed based on the linear moment distribution subjected to lateral loads includes both lateral and gravity load effects, simultaneously. To confirm the accuracy of the proposed methodology, a simply-supported test beam and three reinforced concrete frames are considered. Pushover and nonlinear dynamic analysis of three numerical examples are performed. In these examples the nonlinear behavior of connections and the material nonlinearity using the proposed methodology and also linear flexibility model with different number of elements for each member and fiber based distributed plasticity model with different number of integration points are simulated. Comparing the results of the proposed methodology with those of the aforementioned models describes that suggested model that only uses one element for each member can appropriately estimate the nonlinear behavior of reinforced concrete structures.

대부분의 콘크리트 교량 구조물은 과도한 교통량과 구조물의 사용수명의 도래로 손상된다. 콘크리트의 손상은 철근의 부식과 콘크리트와 철근의 분리로 인하여 성능저하 촉진의 원인이 된다. 손상된 콘크리트 구조물의 빠른 복원은 콘크리트 구조 체계에서 콘크리트 성능저하의 심화를 막기 위하여 매우 중요하게 되었다. 최근 섬유시트는 고인장강도, 내구성, 부식저항성, 경량성, 제작편리성, 비용절감, 균열 제어, 두께 대비 고강도, 사용성 등의 많은 장점이 원인이 되어 손상된 콘크리트 구조물의 보강에 널리 사용되고 있다. 그러나 섬유시트 보강에 따른 공칭휨모멘트 성능을 예측하는 방법에 대한 해석과정의 결여로 구조물의 보강 과정에서 효과적인 인자의 결정이 어렵게 된다. 본 연구에서는 T형 철근콘크리트보의 보강을 위해 부재의 밑면에 부착된 섬유시트가 휨 강도에 미치게 되는 영향이 연구된다. 또한 밑면섬유시트의 박리 방지를 위해 감싸는 섬유시트의 옆면부분에 의한 부수적인 휨 보강 효과가 이론적으로 조사된다. 제안한 접근방법을 입증하기 위하여 해석 결과가 참고된 다른 실험연구의 결과와 비교된다. 예측된 결과와 실험결과는 잘 일치하였다.
