This paper have performed to investigate the influence of certain parameters, including the boundary condition types, load ratios of the steel beams, and span/depth ratios of the beams itself on the structural behaviour of the steel beams at elevated temperatures. This paper is analysed the stress and vertical deflection at mid-span of the steel beams at elevated temperatures and also predicted 'failure' temperatures of the steel beams at elevated temperatures. Fire analysis used here is analysed by software VULCAN. Design examples are given to describe the structural behaviour of the steel beams at elevated temperatures.

This paper investigates the parameters that control the design of Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) reinforced concrete flexural members proportioned following the ACI 440.1R-06. It investigates the critical parameters that control the flexural design, such as the deflection limits, crack limits, flexural capacity, concrete compressive strength, beam span and cross section, and bar diameter, at various Mean-Ambient Temperatures (MAT). The results of this research suggest that the deflection and cracking requirements are the two most controlling limits for FRP reinforced concrete flexural members.

In this paper, a model for the evaluation of shear strength of fibre reinforced polymer (FRP)-reinforced concrete beams is given. The survey of literature indicates that the FRP reinforced beams tested with shear span to depth ratio less than or equal to 1.0 is limited. In this study, eight concrete beams reinforced with GFRP rebars without stirrups are cast and tested over shear span to depth ratio of 0.5 and 1.75. The concrete compressive strength is varied from 40.6 to 65.3 MPa. The longitudinal reinforcement ratio is varied from 1.16 to 1.75. The experimental shear strength and load-deflection response of the beams are determined and reported in this paper. A model is proposed for the prediction of shear strength of beams reinforced with FRP bars. The proposed model accounts for compressive strength of concrete, modulus of FRP rebar, longitudinal reinforcement ratio, shear span to depth ratio and size effect of beams. The shear strength of FRP reinforced concrete beams predicted using the proposed model is found to be in better agreement with the corresponding test data when compared with the shear strength predicted using the eleven models published in the literature. Design example of FRP reinforced concrete beam is also given in the appendix.

A study has been performed to investigate the applicability of the high-strength steel to the medium-span composite girder bridges. A two- and four-girder simple and continuous bridges are considered. A proper span-to-depth ratio for the model bridges with SM490 and SM570 was evaluated by using the section optimization program, respectively. For the determined span-to-depth ratio, deflections and fatigue performance were also investigated. It was acknowledged that the high-strength steel reduces the weight of girder but the increase of deflection and fatigue stress should be considered especially in the positive moment area.

This paper presents the behavior of geopolymer concrete beams reinforced with glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars. In the study, ordinary Portland cement concrete and geopolymer concrete beams having GFRP bars were prepared and tested under four-point loading. The load-deflection diagrams and load capacities of the tested beams were obtained. It was observed that the tested beams exhibited good ductility and significant deflection capacity. The results showed that increasing the tension GFRP reinforcement ratio caused enhancement in the strength capacity of geopolymer concrete beams. In addition, the tested beams were analyzed to obtain the load capacity and the load-deflection responses. The theoretical load-deflection curves and load bearing capacities have been predicted well with the test results. Parametric study has been performed to determine the influences of concrete strength, shear span to depth ratio (a/d) and reinforcement ratio on the behavior of geopolymer concrete beams longitudinally reinforced with GFRP bars. It was concluded that increasing concrete strength led to an increase in load capacity. Besides, the ultimate load increased as the reinforcement ratio increased. On the other hand, increasing a/d ratio reduced the ultimate load value of GFRP reinforced geopolymer concrete beams.

본 연구는 도로 상부에 휴식과 통행이 가능한 공간을 조성하여 녹지 및 휴게 공간을 확보하고 각 구역간의 연결성 및 접근성을 높일 수 있는 장 스팬 구조의 처짐의 거동을 해석하는 것을 목표로 한다. 이러한 장 스팬 구조의 경우, 부재의 크기를 결정할 때 도심 미관과 하부의 차량소통을 고려하여야 한다. 그 결과 부재의 크기가 세장해지는 결과를 가져오게 되며 이는 구조물의 과다 처짐을 유발할 수가 있다, 여기에서는 부재의 크기 제한과 구조물의 과다 처짐을 방지하기 위하여 구조물 하부에 언더텐션을 적용한 후, 그 효과와 처짐 거동에 대하여 비교 분석하였다. 언더텐션이란 상부에서의 하중을 하부 케이블의 인장력을 이용하여 그 하중을 양 단부로 전달하는 시스템을 말하며, 케이블의 크기와 개수, 포스트의 개수와 크기 및 간격에 따라서 효과가 다르게 나타날 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 케이블의 크기와 개수, 포스트의 개수와 크기 및 간격을 변수로 하여 장 스팬 구조의 처짐 거동을 비교하였다. 하중은 활하중과 고정하중이 평면에 재하되는 것을 기본으로 가정하였으며, 해석결과는 상용 프로그램인 마이더스(MIDAS)를 이용하여 언더텐션의 효과를 처짐에 맞추어 비교 검토하였다.

Many experimental and analytical studies have been conducted with beam-column subassemblages composed of a two-span beam to investigate the progressive collapse resistance of RC frames. Most study results reveal a strength-decreased transition phase in the nonlinear static load-deflection curve, which may induce dynamic snap-through response and increase the chord rotation demand for effective catenary action (ECA). In this study, the nonlinear static response is idealized as a piecewise linear curve and analytical pseudo-static response is derived for each linearized region to investigate the rotation demands for the ECA of the two-span RC beams. With analytical parameters determined from several published test results, numerical analysis results indicate that the rotation demand of 0.20 rad recommended in the design guidelines does not always guarantee the ECA. A higher rotation demand may be induced for the two-span beams designed with smaller span-to-depth ratios and it is better to use their peak arch resistance (PAR) as the collapse strength. A tensile reinforcement ratio not greater than 1.0% and a span-to-depth ratio not less than 7.0 are suggested for the two-span RC beams bridging the removed column if the ECA is expected for the collapse resistance. Also, complementary pseudo-static analysis is advised to verify the ECA under realistic dynamic column loss even though the static PAR is recovered in the nonlinear static response. A practical empirical formula is provided to estimate an approximate rotation demand for the ECA.

Generally, a precast prestressed concrete (PSC) beam is used as girders for short-to-medium span (less than 30 m) bridges due to the advantages of simple design and construction, reduction of construction budget, maintenance convenience. In order to increase the span length beyond 50 m of precast PSC girder, PSC hollow box girder with unbonded prestressed H-type steel beam placed at the compressive region is proposed. The unbonded compressive prestressing in the H-type steel beams in the girder is made to recover plastic deflection of PSC girder when the pre-stressing is released. Also, the H-steel beams allow minimization of depth-to-length ratio of the girder by reducing the compressive region of the cross-section, thereby reducing the weight of the girder. A quasi-static 3-point bending test with 4 different loading steps is performed to verify safety and plastic deflection recovery of the girder. The experimental results showed that the maximum applied load exceeded the maximum design load and most of the plastic deflection was recovered when the compressive prestressing of H-type steel beams is released. Also using prestressed H-type steel as compression reinforcements in the upper part of cross section, repair and restoration difficulty and cost of PSC girders should be significantly reduced. The study result and analysis are discussed in detail in the paper.

Springback for the three point bending is anlayzed and experimented. Neutral axis is assumed to remain at the midthickness for large ratio of radius of curvature to thickness. Pure bending theory is used to be extended to the analysis of the springback for three point bending. The specimen is thought to be divided into numerous small elements. The theory for pure bending is then adopted for analysis of each element to obtain springback in terms of the relationship between initial and final deflections. the boundary conditions between neighborhood elements are the deflection and slope which should be the same. Deflection is calculated by summing up the deflections of each element. Experiments have been performed for different conditions which are punch radius, span length, and initial deflections. Comparisons between the analytical solution and experimental results show the same trends.

The purpose of this paper is to study on the shear strength of high strength concrete beams with steel fibrous. In general, the shear strength of reinforced concrete beams is affected by the compressive strengths of concrete( c), the shear span-depth ratio(a/d), the longitudinal steel ratio($\rho$ $\omega$), and shear reinforcement. An experimental investigation of the shear strength of high strength concrete beams with steel fibrous was conducted. In each series the shear span-depth ratio(a/d) was held constant at 1.5, 2.8, or 3.6, while concrete strengths were varied from 320 to 520, to 800kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$. To verify the proposed equations the experimental results were compared with those from other researches such as equation of ACI code 318-95 or equation of Zsutty. To deduce equation for shear strength from experimental data carried out MINITAP program. According to the experimental results, the addition of steel fibrous has increased the deflection and strain at failure load, improving the brittleness of the high strength concrete.
