In most cases strengthening reinforced concrete columns exposed to high strain rate is to be expected especially within weak designed structures. A special type of loading is instantaneous loading. Rapid loading can be observed in structural columns exposed to axial loads (e.g., caused by the weight of the upper floors during a vertical earthquake and loads caused by damage and collapse of upper floors and pillars of bridges).Subsequently, this study examines the behavior of reinforced concrete columns under rapid loading so as to understand patterns of failure mechanism, failure capacity and strain rate using finite element code. And examines the behavior of reinforced concrete columns at different support conditions and various loading rate, where the concrete columns were reinforced using various counts of FRP (Fiber Reinforcement Polymer) layers with different lengths. The results were compared against other experimental outcomes and the CEB-FIP formula code for considering the dynamic strength increasing factor for concrete materials. This study reveals that the finite element behavior and failure mode, where the results show that the bearing capacity increased with increasing the loading rate. CFRP layers increased the bearing capacity by 20% and also increased the strain capacity by 50% through confining the concrete.

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.

In this study, in order to propose an efficient model to predict the torque capacity of steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) beams, the existing experimental data related to torsional response of beams is reviewed. It is observed that existing data neglects the effects of some parameters on the variation of torque capacity. Thus, an experimental research was also conducted to obtain the effects of neglected parameters. In the experimental study, a total of seventeen SFRC beams are tested against torsion. The parameters considered in the experiments are concrete compressive strength, steel fiber aspect ratio, volumetric ratio of steel fibers and longitudinal reinforcement ratio. The effect of each parameter is discussed in terms of torque versus unit angle of twist graphs. The data obtained from this experimental research is also combined with the data got from previous studies and employed in artificial neural network (ANN) analysis to estimate the ultimate torque capacity of SFRC beams. In addition to parameters considered in the experiments, aspect ratio of beam cross-section, yield strengths of both transverse and longitudinal reinforcements, and transverse reinforcement ratio are also defined as parameters in ANN analysis due to their significant effects observed in previous studies. Assessment of the accuracy of ANN analysis in estimating the ultimate torque capacity of SFRC beams is performed by comparing the analytical and experimental results. Comparisons are conducted in terms of root mean square error (RMSE), mean absolute error (MAE) and coefficient of efficiency ($E_f$). The results of this study revealed that addition of steel fibers increases the ultimate torque capacity of reinforced concrete beams. It is also found that ANN is a powerful method and a feasible tool to estimate ultimate torque capacity of both normal and high strength concrete beams within the range of input parameters considered.

The use of Shotcrete(Sprayed concrete) for the support of underground excavations was pioneered by the Civil engineering industry. Permanent shotcrete tunnel linings such as Single-shell, NMT(Norwegian Method of Tunnelling) have been constructed in many countries for reducing construction time and lowering construction costs instead of conventional in-situ concrete linings. Among essential technologies for successful application of Permanent Shotcrete Linings, high performance shotcrete having high strength, high durability, better pumpability has to be developed in advance. This paper presents the ideas and the first field test results of wet-mixed Steel Fiber Reinforced Shotcrete(SFRS) with powder types cement mineral accelerator. From the results, wet-mix SFRS with powdered accelerator exhibited good early strength improvement and less rebound ratio compared to the ordinary accelerator.

본 연구는 강섬유 보강 콘크리트와 앵글을 사용한 합성보의 구조성능을 평가하고자 실험 연구를 수행하였다. 이러한 목적으로 일반 RC보와 강섬유가 혼입된 RC보, 그리고 강섬유 보강 합성보로 구성된 총 7개의 실험체를 제작하였으며, 모든 실험체에는 별도의 전단보강을 하지 않았다. 실험체의 주요 변수는 강섬유의 혼입률과 인장보강근비이며, 합성보의 강도 예측식의 평가와 실험 결과로부터 합성보의 강도, 강성, 연성능력, 에너지소산능력 등의 구조 성능을 평가하였다. 실험 결과들을 평가한 결과, 합성보의 공칭강도 산정식은 매우 정확한 예측이 가능하였으며, 휨균열강도 예측식은 강섬유 보강 효과의 고려가 필요하다고 판단되었다. 강섬유 체적비는 실험체의 강도와 연성 능력, 그리고 에너지소산 능력을 모두 증가시키는 것으로 나타났다. 인장보강근비와 유효인장보강근비의 증가는 실험체의 최대강도 증가에는 효과가 있지만, 반면에 연성 능력과 에너지소산 능력은 일정 수준을 초과하면 연성 능력과 에너지소산 능력이 저하하는 것으로 나타나고 있으므로 적절한 인장보강근비와 유효인장보강근비가 적용될 수 있도록 제한할 필요성이 있다고 판단된다.

기존에 제안된 Perfobond rib connector의 강도평가식은 압축강도가 약 50 MPa 이하의 콘크리트 강도 범위에 대한 Push-out test의 결과로 유도된 것으로서, 압축강도 80 MPa 이상의 초고성능 콘크리트에 대한 전단 연결재 성능 평가를 위하여 Perfobond rib 연결재의 전단강도를 파악하기 위한 Push-out test를 수행하였다. Perfobond rib connector의 제작변수는 관통홀의 지름 및 개수이며, 강섬유가 혼입된 180 MPa의 콘크리와 강섬유를 혼입하지 않은 압축강도 80 MPa의 콘크리트를 적용하여 콘크리트 강도 변화에 대한 전단강도 변화를 검토하였다. 실험결과, 콘크리트 강도와 홀의 개수가 증가함 따라 전단강도가 증가하며, 다웰 효과에 의한 전단강도 증가율도 큰 것으로 나타났다. 기존에 다른 연구자들이 제안한 강도식으로 계산된 예측치와 비교한 결과, 실험값은 Oguejiofor & Hosain[2]이 제안한 강도식에 근접한 결과를 보였다.

The objective of this study is to examine the effect of carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) on the shear strengths of deep beams with web openings. A total of 18 high-strength concrete deep beams with web openings were tested. Twelve were externally wrapped with four layers of CFRP, six of them strengthened in the horizontal direction and the others in the vertical direction. The parameters of the configuration of CFRP, the sizes of the openings and the locations of the openings were covered in this study. The test results indicates the shear strengths of deep beams with openings sized $60{\times}40mm$ were about 16% higher than that with openings sized $68{\times}68mm$. For deep beams with openings sized $60{\times}40mm$, the lower the locations of openings the higher the shear strengths were. The test results also indicate the shear strengths of deep beams with web openings strengthened by CFRP wrapped in the vertical direction can be enhanced by about 10%. However, the shear strengths of deep beams with web openings strengthened by CFRP wrapped in the horizontal direction can only be enhanced by about 6%. The shear strengths of deep beam, with different size and location of web openings and strengthened by different configuration of CFRP can be reasonably predicted by the empirical formulas of Kong and Sharp.

Kinds, shapes and fraction ratios of fibers have influence on properties of HPFRCC(High-Performance Fiver Reinforced Cementitious Concrete) like bending strength, strain capacity and fracture toughness. For example, hydrophilic fibers have different chemical bond strength from hydrophobic fibers, fiber shapes influence on fiber pull-out and rupture, and fiber volume fraction influence on bending strength. In this study, to estimate influences of kinds, shapes and fraction ratios of fibers, we make HFRCC with 3 kind of fiber in various volume fraction of fiber and compare cracking, bending strength and fracture toughness. As the results, bending strength of HPFRCC was increased as fiber volume fraction was increase and fiber tensile strength was increase, and strain capacity and fracture toughness of HFRCC was higher in fiber pull-out fracture than in fiber rupture fracture. And HFRCC showing pseudo strain hardening has higher fiber reinforce efficiency than others.

상대적으로 제조공정이 짧아 환경 및 경제적 이점을 갖는 비정질강섬유(AF)를 길이 및 혼입률을 변화하여 휨성능을 평가와 더불어 기존의 일반강섬유(HF)와의 비교분석을 실시하였다. 섬유의 길이는 10 mm, 20 mm, 30 mm, 및 혼입률은 0.3%, 0.6%로 변화를 주어 실험을 진행하였다. 비정질강섬유(AF의 경우 비중은 일반강섬유(HF)와 거의 동일한 값을 가지나 겉보기부피는 약 2배정도 커서 같은 혼입률에서 투입되는 섬유의 개수는 훨씬 증가되어 배합설계에서 주의를 할 필요가 있다. 실험결과 휨강도의 영향은 섬유의 길이 및 혼입률이 증가할수록 강도의 증가를 보였으며, 일반강섬유(HF)보다 크게 나타났다. 특히 최대하중부근에서의 에너지소산능력이 뚜렷하게 증가하여 잔류하중단계에서의 급격한 감소에도 불구하고 일반강섬유(HF)와 거의 유사한 잔류강도 및 에너지소산능력을 보여주었다. 콘크리트 균열 후 파괴진행단계에서는 섬유의 인발저항에 의한 균열진행이 아닌 섬유의 파단에 의한 강도의 급격한 감소를 보여준 것으로 판단된다.
