The current study focuses on the assessment and interface response of reinforced concrete elements with composite materials (carbon fiber reinforced polymers-CFRPs, glass fiber reinforced polymers-GFRPs, textile reinforced mortars-TRM's, near surface mounted bars-NSMs). A description of the transfer mechanisms from concrete elements to the strengthening materials is conducted through analytical models based on failure modes: plate end interfacial debonding and intermediate flexural crack induced interfacial debonding. A database of 55 in total reinforced concrete columns (scale 1:1) is assembled containing elements rehabilitated with various techniques (29 wrapped with CFRP's, 5 wrapped with GFRP's, 4 containing NSM and 4 strengthened with TRM). The failure modes are discussed together with the performance level of each technique as well as the efficiency level in terms of ductility and bearing/ bending capacity. The analytical models' results are in acceptable agreement with the experimental data and can predict the failure modes. Despite the heterogeneity of the elements contained in the aforementioned database the results are of high interest and point out the need to incorporate the analytical expressions in design codes in order to predict the failure mechanisms and the limit states of bearing capacities of each technique.

본 연구에서는 고강도콘크리트의 내화성능 향상을 위해 사용하고 있는 폴리프로필렌섬유와 강섬유 혼입에 따른 설계 강도 60 MPa급 고강도콘크리트 기둥의 내화특성을 평가하였다. 고강도 기둥 콘크리트 공시체의 내화특성 평가를 위하여 ISO-834 가열 곡선을 적용하여 내화실험을 실시하였다. 실험결과 섬유보강재를 혼입하지 않은 경우 폭렬이 심하게 발생하였으며 내부온도도 높게 나타났다. 폴리프로필렌 섬유를 혼입한 고강도콘크리트 기둥 부재의 경우 폭렬이 발생하지 않았으며 내부온도도 섬유보강재를 혼입하지 않은 경우보다 낮게 나타났으나 내부온도 증가에 있어서는 편차가 심해 내부온도 저하에는 큰 효과가 없는 것으로 나타났다. 폴리프로필렌섬유와 강섬유를 혼입한 기둥 공시체의 경우 폭렬이 발생하지 않았으며 가장 낮은 내부온도를 나타내 우수한 내화성능을 나타냈다.

This paper presents a numerical method for estimating the curvature, deflection and moment capacity of FRP-reinforced concrete encased steel composite beams (FRP-RCS). A sectional analysis is first carried out to predict the moment-curvature relationship from which beam deflection and moment capacity are then calculated. Comparisons between theoretical and experimental results of tests conducted elsewhere show that the proposed numerical technique can accurately predict moment capacity and deflection of FRP-RCS composite beam. The numerical results also indicated that beam ductility and stiffness are improved when encased steel is added to FRP reinforced concrete beams. ACI, ISIS and Bischoff models for deflection prediction compared well at low load, however, significantly underestimated the experimental results for high load levels.

This experimental study examines the applicability of polymer mortar permanent forms using a methyl methacrylate (MMA) solution of waste expanded polystyrene (EPS) to develop effective recycling processes for the EPS, referring to the flexural behavior of a polymer-impregnated mortar permanent form with almost the same performance as commercial products. An MMA solution of EPS is prepared by dissolving EPS in MMA, and unreinforced and steel fiber-reinforced polymer mortars are mixed using the EPS-MMA-based solution as a liquid resin or binder. Polymer mortar permanent forms (PMPFs) using the EPS-MMA-based polymer mortars without and with steel fiber and crimped wire cloth reinforcements and steel fiber-reinforced polymer-impregnated mortar permanent form (PIMPF) are prepared on trial, and tested for flexural behavior under four-point (third-point) loading. The EPS-MMAbased PMPFs are more ductile than the PIMPF, and have a high load-bearing capacity. Consequently, they can replace PIMPF in practical applications.

In this article, the flexural and shear capacity of ultra-high-performance fiber-reinforced concrete beams (UHPFRC) using two kinds of rebars, including GFRP and steel rebars, are experimentally investigated. For this purpose, six UHPFRC beams (250 × 300 × 1650 mm) with three reinforcement ratios (ρ) of 0.64, 1.05, and 1.45 were constructed using 2% steel fibers by volume. Half of the specimens were made of UHPFRC reinforced with GFRP rebars, while the other half were reinforced with conventional steel rebars. All specimens were tested to failure in four-point bending. Both the load-deformation at mid-span and the failure pattern were studied. The results showed that utilizing GFRP bars increases the flexural strength of UHPFRC beams in comparison to those made of steel bars, but at the same time, it reduces the post-cracking strain hardening. Furthermore, by increasing the percentage of longitudinal bars, both the post-cracking strain hardening and load-bearing capacity increase. Comparing the experiment results with some of the available equations and provisions cited in the valid design codes reveals that some of the equations to predict the flexural strength of UHPFRC beams reinforced with conventional steel and GFRP bars are reasonably conservative, while Khalil and Tayfur model is un-conservative. This issue makes it essential to modify the presented equations in this research for predicting the flexural strength of UHPFRC beams using GFRP bars.

본 실험적 연구는 고속 비상체에 의한 강섬유보강콘크리트의 내충격성을 파악하는데 그 목적이 있다. 이 연구에서는 패널두께 대 탄환지름 비가 3.5 이하인 패널 실험체에 강섬유 혼입률, 패널 두께, 충격 속도, 골재 크기를 변수로 조절하면서 고속충격을 가하여서 실험체의 성능을 비교하였다. 강섬유 혼입률이 증가할수록 중량손실량 및 표면 탈락률은 감소하지만, 관입깊이는 증가하는 추세를 보였다. 그리고 충격하중을 받을 때의 거동은 골재 20 mm를 사용하였을 경우 더욱 불리하게 나타났다. 실험결과는 기존 모델에 의한 예측값과 비교하였고, 이를 통해 패널두께 대 탄환지름 비가 3.5 이하일 때 보수적인 예측을 하는것을 확인하였다. 이 중 수정 NDRC 제안식과 ACE 제안식이 Hughes 제안식보다 안정되게 예측하는 것으로 나타났다. 관입깊이와 배면박리한계두께에 있어서는 강섬유 혼입률에 따라서 예측식과 오차가 크게 나타나기도 하지만, 관통깊이는 수정 NDRC 제안식 및 Hughes 제안식에 의해 비교적 정확하게 예측되었다.

In this study, it evaluate the impact resistance of UHPC by repeated impact. smooth steel fiber and polyvinyl alcohol fiber were reinforced in UHPC respectively. Overall, the impact resistance of the specimens reinforced with 0.4vol.% PVA fiber was high, and the crater diameter was small in specimens using 13mm fiber. When 19 mm steel fiber is used, the fracture depth is small due to the increase of macro crack resistance compared with other specimens. On the other hand, in the case of the fracture area, it is considered that the use of the fiber of 13 mm causes an increase in the stress dispersion effect to occur small.

In the present experimental study, the high performance hybrid fiber reinforced concrete (HPHFRC) is prepared using the Modified Andreasen and Andersen (A&A) particle packing model. Total of 16 trial mixes of HPHFRC with Indian standard sand (SS) and natural river sand (NS) are prepared to achieve the selection criteria (flow percent>150 and compressive strength>80 MPa). Based on the flow percent and compressive strength criteria, the selected mixes evaluated to study the effect of usage of natural river sand (NS) and the expensive Indian standard sand (SS) on the mechanical, durability, and microstructure property of designed HPHFRC. It has been found that the Modified A&A model is reliable to design the mix for HPHFRC with excellent mechanical, durability, and microstructure properties. In addition to that, a moderate difference in the mechanical and durability properties of NS contained HPHFRC and SS contained HPHFRC is found. Based on the obtained results of NS contained HPHFRC, it can be concluded that the use of natural river sand (NS) can be successfully adopted for the production of HPHFRC, resulted in a reduction of the production cost without compromising the excellent performance of HPHFRC.

This work performed to analyses the impact of hooked end steel fibres on the mechanical properties of high performance concrete. The mechanical properties considered incorporate compressive strength, split tensile strength and flexural strength. Taking in to thought parameters, such as, volume fraction of fibres, fibre aspect ratio and grade of concrete, a logical strategy called Taguchi technique was utilized to discover the ideal blend of factors. L9 Orthogonal Array (OA) of Taguchi network comprising of three variables and three dimensions is utilized in this work. The evaluations of concrete considered were M60, M80 and M100. M60 contained 15% of metakaolin as bond swap though for M80 it was 5% of metakaolin and for M100 it was 10% metakaolin and 10% of silica smolder. The volume portion of fiber was fluctuated by 0.5%; 1% and 1.5% and the viewpoints proportions considered were 50, 60 and 80. The test outcomes demonstrate that incorporation of steel fibres enhance significantly the the strength characteristics of concrete, predominantly the splitting tensile strength and flexural strength. In light of relapse investigation of the test information scientific models were produced for compressive strength, split tensile strength and flexural strength of the steel fibre-reinforced high performance concrete.

일반적으로 콘크리트는 경제성이 뛰어나지만 낮은 인장강도로 인하여 구조성능상의 한계를 가지고 있기 때문에 콘크리트와 결합된 다양한 합성재료의 특성을 활용한 구조부재의 개발이 진행되고 있다. 강섬유 보강 콘크리트(SFRC)는 높은 인장강도로 인하여 콘크리트의 재료적 단점을 보완할 수 있는 우수한 합성재료로서 알려져 있고, 특히 고강도 콘크리트의 화재시 폭렬현상에 대한 대안으로 여겨지고 있다. 또한, 프리스트레스트콘크리트(PSC) 부재는 장경간 구조에 매우 유리하며 일반철근콘크리트(RC) 부재에 비해 높은 전단강도를 가진다. 따라서, 이 연구에서는 SFRC에 프리스트레스를 적용한 강섬유 보강 프리스트레스트 콘크리트(SFR-PSC)부재의 전단거동을 이해하기 위하여 총 22개의 직접전단실험체를 제작하여 실험을 수행하였다. 또한, 실험결과를 바탕으로 SFR-PSC부재의 균열면에서의 균열전달 구성방정식을 제안하였다. SFR-PSC의 거동특성을 반영하여 제안된 재료관계식은 실험결과와 잘 일치하는 것으로 나타났다.
