Because of the heavy demand of confining steel to restore the column ductility in seismic regions, it is more efficient to confine these columns by hollow steel tube to form concrete-filled-steel-tube (CFST) column. Compared with transverse reinforcing steel, steel tube provides a stronger and more uniform confining pressure to the concrete core, and reduces the steel congestion problem for better concrete placing quality. However, a major shortcoming of CFST columns is the imperfect steel-concrete interface bonding occurred at the elastic stage as steel dilates more than concrete in compression. This adversely affects the confining effect and decrease the elastic modulus. To resolve the problem, it is proposed in this study to use external steel confinement in the forms of rings and ties to restrict the dilation of steel tube. For verification, a series of uni-axial compression test was performed on some CFST columns with external steel rings and ties. From the results, it was found that: (1) Both rings and ties improved the stiffness of the CFST columns and (2) the rings improve significantly the axial strength of the CFST columns while the ties did not improve the axial strength. Lastly, a theoretical model for predicting the axial strength of confined CFST columns will be developed.

In this study, I developed a simple and low cost process-printing a silver, carbon, dielectric, adhesive layer on PET films using screen printing technology and bonding the two films face-to-face-to fabricate a low price capacitive pressure-mapping sensor. Both electrodes forming the pressure measuring capacitor are arranged between the two PET films similar to a sandwich. Therefore, the sensor has the advantage of minimizing the influence of external noise. In this study, a $10{\times}10$ capacitance-type pressure-mapping sensor was fabricated and its characteristics were analyzed.

The needs for strengthening and rehabilitation of the concrete bridges are a growing concern in many countries and has been emphasized in various researches and papers. Traditional external post-tensioning method using either steel bars or tendons is commonly used as a strengthening method. However, the method has some disadvantages such as stress concentration at the anchorages. Multi-stepwise thermal prestressing method is a newly proposed method for strengthening and rehabilitation of concrete girder bridges. Founded on a simple concept of thermal expansion and contraction of steel, the method is a hybrid method of external post-tensioning and steel plate bonding, combining the merits of two methods. In this paper, basic concepts on strengthening and rehabilitation of concrete girder are presented and an illustrative experiment is introduced.

Recently, the number of Prestressed Concrete(PSC) bridges needed repair and retrofit because of the increase of heavy traffic loads and aging of concrete materials. But there are a few related researches about strengthening PSC bridges. In this study, the practicability of strengthening methods for PSC beam were studied by the static experimental method. PSC beams in length of 6m were made with concrete slabs. Glass fiber sheeting and external post-tensioning methods were used for strengthening PSC beams. Some beams were strengthened after cracks to investigate the applicability for cracked bridges. As a result, there strengthening methods were efficient at increasing the cracking loads and the failure load, to decrease deflection and prevent cracks. In the case of using glass fiber retrofit methods, it should be careful in the anchorage problems for preventing the bonding failure.

This study proposed vision artificial intelligence-based automated supervision technology for external insulation and finishing system, and basic research was conducted for it. The automated supervision technology proposed in this study consists of the object detection model (YOLOv5) and the part that derives necessary information based on the object detection result and then determines whether the external insulation-related adhesion regulations are complied with. As a result of a test, the judgement accuracy of the proposed model showed about 70%. The results of this study are expected to contribute to securing the external insulation quality and further contributing to the realization of energy-saving eco-friendly buildings. As further research, it is necessary to develop a technology that can improve the accuracy of the object detection model by supplementing the number of data for model training and determine additional related regulations such as the adhesive area ratio.

기존 구조물의 RC 보는 전단내력이 부족한 경우가 빈번히 발생하며, RC 보의 전단파괴거동은 갑작스럽고 취성적이다. 자중의 증가를 줄이면서 전단성능을 향상시키는 보강방법으로 강판, 탄소 판 및 탄소섬유시트 등과 같은 보강재료를 사용하여 전단 내력이 부족한 기존 RC 보의 표면에 고성능 접착제로 부착하는 방법이 실무에서 가장 많이 적용되고 있다. 본 연구는 보강재료로 강판을 사용하며, 보강재료의 형태는 Slit의 크기와 모양으로 다양하게 변화시키고 유닛화하였다. 총16개 실험체에 대하여 전단보강근의 유무, Slit의 형상, 강판두께 등을 변수로 한 실험을 통하여 Slit형 강판으로 전단보강한 RC보에 대한 보강효과, 파괴성상 및 전단내력을 비교 분석하였다. 실험결과 파괴모드는 수직형 Slit(SV시리즈)실험체는 전단파괴를 하였고, 경사형 Slit(SD시리즈)실험체는 휨파괴 양상을 나타내었다. SV시리즈 실험체는 사인장 균열발생과 동시에 Slit 강판이 콘크리트 표면을 물고 떨어지는 부착박리 파괴거동으로 콘크리트 조기파괴를 하였다. SD시리즈 실험체들은 Solid 강판을 부착한 실험체보다 다소 큰 강성과 전단내력을 나타냈다. RC 보의 휨거동을 연성적으로 유도하기위한 전단보강방법은 경사형 Slit 강판의 적용이 효율적이었다.

The flexural behavior of the reinforced concrete (RC) structure upgraded by external reinforcements was examined in this study. It is well known that the incorporation of carbon fiber sheet (CFS) with concrete is one of the most effective ways to strengthen the RC structure. Complete bonding is required between CFS and concrete in order to make the RC structure provide its full function until the time the Re structures serve. Many studies have reported that construction deficiencies have caused the debonding of the CFS from concrete before the RC structure with CFS reaches its ultimate capacity. This research took a systematic look at the failure mechanism, macroscopic load-deformation characteristics, the maximum load applied, and maximum bending moment when construction deficiencies exist. The results of the experiment conducted were compared with theoretically derived values. In the future, the results of this investigation will help minimize the factors of construction deficiencies, which may occur when CFS is used to reinforce a RC structure. The experiment was manipulated with steel reinforcement ratio and piles of CFS on a total of 14 beams ($20cm{\times}30cm{\times}240cm$). The results showed that internal moment capacity increased even when construction deficiencies existed. However, RC structures with CFS in the field still contain a considerable level of potential risks.

최근 손상된 부재를 원상으로 회복하면서 보강할 수 있는 프리스트레스 보강공법에 대한 관심이 고조되고 있다. 손상된 부재를 보강하기 위한 기존의 포스트텐션공법은 구조부재에 추가적인 손상을 발생시킬 수 있으므로, 인접부재에 손상을 주지 않는 새로운 형태의 부분프리스트레스공법에 관한 개발 및 성능평가가 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 새로운 외부포스트텐션공법 중 하나인 아웃케이블 공법에 대한 구조성능을 평가하기 위해 휨 보강된 연속보에 관한 실험적 연구를 수행하였다. 그 결과, 기존 포스트텐션과 아웃케이블공법의 주요 파괴모드는 균열이 고르고 넓게 분포한 휨파괴의 형태를 나타냈다. 그리고, 초기의 휨균열 시 강성 및 철근항복 시 강성, 항복하중, 최대하중에서 유사한 거동특성을 보임으로써 두 공법에 의한 보강효과는 동일한 결과를 보였다.

Recently, there has been an active study about smart fluid to control the vibration, in which MR fluid is evaluated as most efficient because it can generate different bonding forces based on the intensity of the external magnetic fields. This paper attempts to find a mechanism that, under limited conditions during a clutch production that uses such dynamic characteristic, defects the maximum intensity of electromagnetism. Using the finite element analysis program, we predicted a change within the bonding force of the MR fluid occurring inside the clutch when it is subjected to an increased electric current. In addition, we analyzed the change in the magnetic intensity when the coil comprising the coil control center is switched to multiple lines from the standard single line, to find a mechanism that can maximize the effect. Based on this analysis, we developed the clutch and tested its function, hoping to widen future MR fluid's range of application.

The flexural strengthening of reinforced concrete beams by external bonding of composite materials has proved to be an efficient and practical technique. This paper presents a study on the flexural performance of reinforced concrete continuous beams with three spans (one span and two cantilevered) strengthened by bonding carbon fiber fabric (CFRP). The model is based on equilibrium and deformations compatibility requirements in and all parts of the strengthened continuous beam, i.e., the continuous concrete beam, the FRP plate and the adhesive layer. The adherend shear deformations have been included in the present theoretical analyses by assuming a linear shear stress through the thickness of the adherends. Remarkable effect of shear deformations of adherends has been noted in the results. The theoretical predictions are compared with other existing solutions that shows good agreement, and It shows the effectiveness of CFRP strips in enhancing shear capacity of continuous beam. It is shown that both the normal and shear stresses at the interface are influenced by the material and geometry parameters of the composite beam.
