The purpose of this study is to investigate experimentally the shear resisting behavior of the reinforced concrete beams strengthened with reinforcement materials(CFRP). Ten specimens were manufactured and tested under static monotonic loading. The main variables in the test were a space of steel reinforcement and direction of CFRP reinforcement. The test result Indicated that the method of CFRP increase significantly the shear strength of a reinforced concrete beam

Prestressing steels are susceptible to corrosion, which is considered the major reason in the deterioration of prestressed concrete structures. To solve this problem, many research have been made to utilize new type of tendons. FRP tendons have many advantages compared to steel tendons. However, FRP tendons have some disadvantages, such as no plastic behavior. This study focused on the flexural behavior of prestresssed concrete beams which is fabricated by post-tensioning method with CFRP (Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic) tendons. Th results drawn from the study, prestressed concrete beams with CFRP tendons have higher flexural cracking load, flexural yielding load, and flexural fracture load. While displacement at the fracture stage is lower compared to prestressed concrete beams with steel tendon. Excessive steel reinforcement lead lower ductility index. So, appropriate reinforcement guideline is needed. Further more, prestressed concrete beams with CFRP tendons can have sufficient ductility index when ruptured by crushing of concrete or used unbonded tendon. Therefore, the best design method for prestressed concrete beams with CFRP tendons is over-reinforcement, and use of unbonded tendon.

One of the principal problems encountered in the use of glass fiber reinforced Plastic composites(GFRP) is to establish an active fiber surface to achieve maximum adhesion between resin and fiber surface. In order to develope new process to overcome the disadvantage of chemical agent, we have studied the effect of reactive plasma glass surface treatment on the electrical and mechanical properties of glass fiber reinforced epoxy composites. It is found that the electrical and mechanical characteristics of the composites treated with plasma is improved especially in the dielectric strength by 20% and tensile strength by 15%, whereas the tan $\delta$ is decreased significantly.

Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic (CFRP) has strong and superb material properties, especially in mechanical and heat-resisting aspects, but the drawback is its high price. In this study, we made a hybrid composite using carbon fiber and basalt fiber, which is expected to attribute to its strong material properties and its financial benefits. We found out that the higher the content of basalt fiber included, the lower the intensity, and carbon's intensity contents of 80% showed the similar intensity level as that of CFRP. Besides it was possible to get a better mechanical properties using the composite that included the mixed fiber, instead of using a composition of separate fibers filed.

Carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) is a composite material useful in the aerospace and automotive industries because of its light weight and high strength. In this study, side milling tests were carried out using AlCrN, diamond-like carbon (DLC), and diamond-coated end mills. Additionally, a comparison study according to the cobalt content was conducted. Thus, tool wear and surface quality were examined and the influences of using coating and a certain material type were analyzed. The surface roughness of the machined surface was measured. Microscope observations revealed that the CFRP fiber at the machined surface was not damaged even at a cutting distance of 3,000 mm. Therefore, this study showed that the diamond-coated end mill containing 6% cobalt is appropriate for milling CFRP.

Recently carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) has been used structural materials in corrosive environment such as for water, chemical tank and pipes. However, mechanical properties of such materials may be change when CFRP and exposed to corrosive environment for long periods of time. The degradation behavior of carbon fiber/epoxy resin composite material in distilled water is investigated using acoustic emission (AE) technique, Fracture toughness tests are performed on the compact tension specimens that are pilled by two types of $[O_2/9O_2]_{3s}$ and $[O/9O]_6s$. During the testes, AE test was carried out to monitor the damage of CFRP by moisture absorption. The data was treated by 2-parameter Weibull distribution and the fracture surface was observed by scanning electron microscope.

Two possible shape memory processes, austenite to detwinned martensite transformation and twinned martensite to detwinned martensite transformation of a shape memory alloy have been modeled and examined. Eshelby's equivalent inclusion method with Mori-Tanaka's mean field theory is used for modeling of the shape memory processes of TiNi shape memory alloy reinforced aluminum matrix composite. The shape memory amount of shape memory alloy, plastic strain and residual stress in the matrix are computed and compared for the two processes. It is shown that the shape memory amount shows differences in a small prestrain region, but the plastic strain and the residual stress in the matrix show differences in the whole prestrain region. The shape memory process with initially martensitic state of the shape memory alloy would be favorable to the increase in the yield stress of the composite owing to the large compressive residual stress and plastic strain in the matrix.

In this study, experimental research was carried out to improve earthquake-resistant performance for the retrofitting of reinforced concrete beam-column joints using carbon fiber materials in existing reinforced concrete building. Six reinforced concrete beam-column joints were constructed and tested to evaluate the retrofitting effect of test variables, such as the retrofitting materials and retrofitting region(plastic hinge, beam-column joint) under load reversals. Test results show that retrofitting specimen(RPC-CP2, RPC-CR, RJC-CP, RJC-CR), using new materials(carbon fiber plate, carbon fiber rod and carbon fiber sheet), designed by the improvement of earthquake-resistant performance and ductility, attained more load-carrying capacity and stable hysteretic behavior.
