In this paper axial loading tests on low strength concrete members, which were confined with various thickness of carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) composite sheets are described. Totally 46 specimens with circular, square and rectangular cross-sections with unconfined concrete compressive strengths between 6 and 10 MPa were included in the test program. During the tests, a photogrammetrical deformation measurement technique was also used, as well as conventional measurement techniques. The contribution of external confinement with CFRP composite sheets to the compressive behavior of the specimens with low strength concrete is evaluated quantitatively, in terms of strength, longitudinal and lateral deformability and energy dissipation. The effects of width/depth ratios and the corner radius of the specimens with rectangular cross-section on the axial behavior were also examined. It was seen that the effectiveness of the external confinement with CFRP composite sheets is much more pronounced, when the unconfined concrete compressive strength is relatively lower. It was also found that the available analytical expressions proposed for normal or high strength concrete confined by CFRP sheets could not predict the strength and deformability of CFRP confined low strength concrete accurately. New expressions are proposed for the compressive strength and the ultimate axial strain of CFRP confined low strength concrete.

스티프너가 없는 얇은 강판을 사용한 골조강판벽 시스템에 대한 실험연구를 실시하였다. 1경간 3층의 골조강판벽에 주기횡하중을 재하하였으며, 주요한 실험 변수는 강판의 두께, 기둥의 강도이다. 실험결과를 이용하여 강판벽의 강도, 변형능력, 에너지 소산능력을 연구하였으며, 이를 토대로 골조강판벽의 파괴메카니즘을 분석하였다. 실험결과, 얇은 강판을 사용하는 골조강판벽은, 높은 강도, 낮은 연성능력, 캔틸레버거동특성을 나타내는 일반적인 가새골조나 스티프너 보강된 강판벽과는 여러 면에서 다른 거동특성을 나타낸다. 골조강판벽에서는 강판의 조기국부좌굴과 인장응력장 작용이 발생하면서, 전 층에 고르게 항복변형이 분포된다. 이로 인하여 변형형태는 휨변형과 전단변형의 복합형태를 나타내며, 우수한 강도 및 에너지 소산능력과 연성모멘트 골조에 버금가는 변형능력을 나타내었다. 그러나 일반적인 가새골조와는 달리 보, 기둥 등의 골조부재는 강판의 인장응력장을 지지할 수 있도록 설계되어야 하며, 따라서 기둥의 강도가 작고 콤팩트 단면을 사용하지 않은 경우에는 약층현상이 발생하며 강도가 급격히 저하되었다. 얇은 강판을 사용하는 골조강판벽은 일반적인 가새골조나 스티프너 보강 강판벽과는 차별되는 우수한 변형능력을 갖고 있으므로 연성내진구조시스템으로 활용할 수 있다.

Large-scale cantilever reinforced concrete (RC) columns with footing/stub were examined to determine their seismic response under a quasi-static increasing-magnitude cyclic lateral loading. Three-dimensional (3D) numerical models of RC columns with ductile and non-ductile reinforcement arrangements were developed in a Finite Element (FE) software, i.e., ABAQUS, to corroborate them with the experimental study conducted by the author. Both simulated models were validated with the experimental results in all respects, and the theoretical axial capacity of columns under concentric axial load (P₀) was calculated. Subsequently, a detailed parametric study was conducted by adopting the force and reinforcement variables. These variables include axial compression ratios (ACR) varying from 0.35P₀ to 0.7P₀ and the amount of lateral reinforcements taken as 0.33% and 1.31% representing the non-ductile and ductile columns, respectively. This research outcome conclusively quantifies the combined effect of ACR levels and lateral reinforcement spacing on the flexural response and ductility characteristics of RC columns. The comparative analysis reveals that increased ACR levels resulted in a severe reduction in strength, deformability and ductility characteristics of both ductile and non-ductile columns. Structural response of ductile columns at higher ACR levels was comparable to the non-ductile columns, nullifying the beneficial effects of ductile design provisions. Higher ACR levels caused decline in pre-peak and post-peak response trajectories, leading to an earlier attainment of peak response at lower drift levels.

The management of waste tire rubber has become a pressing environmental and health issue, requiring sustainable solutions to mitigate fire hazards and conserve natural resources. The performance of waste materials in structural components needs to be investigated to fabricate sustainable structures. This study aims to investigate the behavior of glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) reinforced rubberized concrete (GRRC) compressive components under compressive loads. Nine GRRC circular compressive components, varying in longitudinal and transverse reinforcement ratios, were constructed. A 3D nonlinear finite element model (FEM) was proposed by means of the ABAQUS software to simulate the behavior of the GRRC compressive components. A comprehensive parametric analysis was conducted to assess the impact of different parameters on the performance of GRRC compressive components. The experimental findings demonstrated that reducing the spacing of GFRP stirrups enhanced the ductility of GRRC compressive components, while the addition of rubberized concrete further improved their ductility. Failure in GRRC compressive components occurred in a compressive columnar manner, characterized by vertical cracks and increased deformability. The finite element simulations closely matched the experimental results. The proposed empirical model, based on 600 test samples and considering the lateral confinement effect of FRP stirrups, demonstrated higher accuracy (R² = 0.835, MSE = 171.296, MAE = 203.549, RMSE = 195.438) than previous models.

일반적인 내진 설계에서는 구조물의 연성적인 거동을 유도하기 위해서 보-기둥 접합부에 인접한 보에 소성힌지가 발생하도록 한다. 따라서 철근콘크리트 부재의 부착강도와 전단강도가 휨강도보다 큰 값을 가져야 하고, 전단이나 부착파괴가 요구된 연성에 도달하기 이전에 발생하지 않아야 한다. 하지만 전단경간비가 짧은 부재의 경우에는 전단이나 부착 거동의 지배를 받는 경우가 많고, 핀칭 효과로 인해 에너지 소산이 비교적 적게 발생하므로 요구된 연성에 도달하지 못하고 파괴될 수 있다. 이 논문에서는 전단경간비가 짧은 철근콘크리트 부재의 거동 분석과 연성 예측, 특히 부착 연성 능력을 평가하기 위한 방법을 제안하였다. 이것은 반복하중에 의해 저감되는 잠재 전단강도와 잠재부착내력 모델, 그리고 소성힌지 형성에 따른 휨부착응력의 급격한 증대를 도식화하여 나타낼 수 있다. 제안된 해석법은 각 값의 변화 추이를 비교하여 부재의 거동을 파악하고, 부착 거동의 지배를 받는 부재의 경우, 부착내력과 휨부착응력의 값이 만나는 지점까지를 그 부재의 부착 연성으로 평가하는 방법이다. 이 방법은 기존에 수행된 8개의 보, 기둥 시험체를 통해 비교 및 검토하였으며 부재 거동에 대한 예측은 정확히 일치하였으나, 부착 연성 능력에 대해서는 과소평가 되었다. 그 이유는 부재의 부착강도를 실제 부착강도보다 비교적 낮게 예측한 부착강도식에서 찾을 수 있으며, 다른 부착 내력 모델에 대한 부착 연성 평가에 대한 연구가 추후 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

Structural performance of the walls subjected to lateral load reversals depends on various parameters such as loading history, sectional shape, reinforcement, lateral confinement, aspect ratio, axial compression, etc. Thus, the performance of the shearwall for wall-type apartment should be evaluated properly considering above parameters. This study investigates the effect of sectional shape on the structural performance of the wall. Sectional shape of the specimen is rectangular, barbell and T. Based on this experimental results, all specimens behaved as ductile fashion and failed by concrete crushing of the compression zone. Deformation index of those specimens evaluated better than 3 of ductility ratio, and 1.5% of deformability specified by seismic provision. Moreover, the performance of the rectangular shaped specimen, whose compression zone was confined with U-bar and cross tie, was as good as the barbell shaped specimen. Therefore, if we considered construction practice such as workmanship and detailing, shearwall with rectangular section may be more economical lateral load resisting system.

Reinforced concrete (RC) columns, as the primary load-bearing structural components in buildings, may need to be strengthened due to material deteriorations, changes in usage, new building codes or new design requirements. The use of post compressed plates (PCP) to strengthen existing RC columns has been proven experimentally and practically to be effective in solving stress-lagging effects between the original column and the new strengthening jacket caused by the pre-existing loads. This paper presents a comprehensive summary and review of PCP strengthening techniques to strengthen preloaded RC columns. The failure mode, deformability, and ductility of the strengthened RC columns are reviewed.

An experimental study was conducted to investigate the effectiveness of transverse steel in reinforced concrete tied columns subjected to monotonically increasing axial compression. Eighteen large-scale columns($260{\times}260{\times}1,200mm$) were tested. Effects of such main variables as concrete compressive strength, configurations of transverse steel, transverse reinforcement ratio, spacing of transverse steel, and spalling of concrete cover were investigated. High-strength concrete columns under concentric axial loads show extremely brittle behavior unless the columns are confined with transverse steel that can provide sufficiently high lateral confinement pressure. A consistent decrease in the deformability of the column test specimens was observed with increasing concrete strength. Test results of this study were compared with existing confinement models of modified Kent-Park, Sheikh-Uzumeri, Mander, and Saatcioglu-Razvi. The comparison indicates many existing models to predict the behavior of confined concrete overestimate or underestimate the ductility of confined concrete.

철근콘크리트(reinforced concrete) 구조부재에서 철근의 부식으로 인한 문제점을 개선하고자 섬유보강 복합재료(FRP) 보강근(rebar)을 사용하는 것에 대한 연구가 꾸준히 진행되어져 오고 있다. 하지만 이러한 FRP 보강근을 사용한 콘크리트 부재의 환경에 대한 장기거동에 대한 연구가 아직도 미흡한 수준이다. 이 연구는 GFRP(glass fiber reinforced polymer) 보강근을 사용한 콘크리트 부재를 온도 약 $46^{\circ}C$와 습도가 80%인 인위적인 실험실에서 최대 300일까지 노출시킨 후의 장기 거동에 대한 실험적 연구를 제시하였다. 비교를 위하여 두가지 서로 다른 GFRP 보강근과 철근을 보강한 콘크리트 보 시험체를 제작하였다. 실험 결과, 장기 노출환경에서도 GFRP 보강근을 보강한 콘크리트 보 시험체의 파괴형태는 철근 보강 콘크리트 보시험체와 매우 유사한 파괴형태를 나타내었으며, 노출 시간에 따른 하중저항 감소값은 철근이 보강된 경우가 GFRP 보강근이 보강된 경우보다 하중저항 감소값이 크게 일어났다. 또한 GFRP 보강근 보강 콘크리트 보 시험체를 설계할 시에는 철근 보강보다 취성파괴에 대한 충분한 대비가 요구됨을 알 수 있었다. 그리고 압축파괴에 대한 변형도 계수(deformability factor)는 모든 경우에서 노출시간에 관계없이 큰 변화가 없음을 알 수 있었다.

Shear walls have high stiffness and strength; however, they lack energy dissipation and repairability. In this study, an innovative slotted shear wall featuring vertical slots and steel energy dissipation connectors was developed. The ductility and energy dissipation of the shear wall were improved, while sufficient bearing capacity and structural stiffness were retained. Furthermore, the slotted shear wall does not support vertical forces, and thus it does not have to be arranged continuously along the height of the structure, leading to a much free arrangement of the shear wall. A frame-slotted shear wall structure that combines the conventional frame structure and the innovative shear wall was developed. To investigate the ductility and hysteretic behavior of the slotted shear wall, finite element models of two walls with different steel connectors were built, and pushover and quasi-static analyses were conducted. Numerical analysis results indicated that the deformability and energy dissipation were guaranteed only if the steel connectors yielded before plastic hinges in the wall limbs were formed. Finally, a modified D-value method was proposed to estimate the bearing capacity and stiffness of the slotted shear wall. In this method, the wall limbs are analogous to columns and the connectors are analogous to beams. Results obtained from the modified D-value method were compared with those obtained from the finite element analysis. It was found that the internal force and stiffness estimated with the modified D-value method agreed well with those obtained from the finite element analysis.
