FRP re-bar in concrete structures could be used as a substitute of steel re-bars for that cases in which aggressive environment produce high steel corrosion, or lightweight is an important design factor, or transportation cost increase significantly with the weight of the materials. But FRP fibers have only linearly elastic stress-strain behavior; whereas, steel re-bar has linear elastic behavior up to the yield point followed by large plastic deformation and strain hardening. Thus, the current FRP re-bars are not suitable concrete reinforcement where a large amount of plastic deformation prior to collapse is required. The main objectives of this study in to evaluate the tensile behavior and the fracture mode of hybrid FRP re-bar. Fracture mode of hybrid FRP re-bar is unique. The only feature common to the failure of the hybrid FRP re-bars and the composite is the random fiber fracture and multilevel fracture of sleeve fibers, and the resin laceration behavior in both the sleeve and the core areas. Also, the result of the tensile and interlaminar shear stress test results of hybrid FRP re-bar can provide its excellent tensile strength-strain and interlaminar stress-strain behavior.

바다 자원의 조성을 위해 시설되는 인공어초는 해저 연약지반에 설치될 경우 침하 및 세굴에 의한 기능 상실이 발생할 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 해저 연약지반의 보강에 따른 인공어초의 침하 거동을 알아보기 위해 모래, 실트 및 점토 지반을 각각 조성하여 관입실험, 침하실험 등과 같은 다양한 실내실험을 수행하였다. 무보강(unreinforced), 지오그리드(geogrid) 보강 및 하이브리드 대나무매트(hybrid bamboo mat, HBM) 보강과 같은 3종류의 보강과 보강재의 면적에 따른 특성을 살펴보았다. 실험 결과 보강재의 면적이 증가할수록 보강 효과가 증가하는 경향을 보였으며, HBM이 지오그리드 단일 보강에 비해 더 뛰어난 보강 효과를 보였다.

Corrosion of reinforcement steel is a major cause of deterioration in reinforced concrete (RC) structures. In order to protect these structures from corrosion, corrosion inhibitors are added to the concrete mix. In recent years, zwitterionic compounds have shown promising results as corrosion inhibitors in concrete due to their ability to form a protective layer on the surface of the reinforcement steel. The experimental study involves preparing concrete samples with different concentrations of adding the hybrid corrosion inhibitor at a high concentration of chloride ions. This study aims to determine the chloride threshold value and service life of hybrid corrosion inhibitors in reinforced concrete based on zwitterions. The samples are subjected to accelerated corrosion tests in a chloride environment to determine the threshold value and service life of the corrosion inhibitor. The effect of hybrid inhibitor on mechanical properties is guaranteed in allowable range. The chloride threshold concentration and service life of hybrid inhibitor containing samples perform greater than those of plain RC.

In this study, an effect of fiber blending on material property of hybrid fiber reinforced concrete (HFRC) was evaluated. Also, optimized association and the mixing rate of fiber for HFRC was determined. Test result shows, in the case of mono fiber reinforced concrete, use of steel fiber in concrete caused increment in tensile and bending strength as the blended ratio increases, while use of carbon fiber and glass fiber caused increment in compressive strength. Use of hybrid fiber reinforcement in concrete caused a significant influence on its fracture behavior; consequently, caused increase by mixing rate of steel fiber and contributed by carbon fiber, glass fiber, celluloid fiber in reinforcement effect in order.

In this study, the nature of brittleness, one of the main problems of GFRP(Glass Fiber Reinforced Plastic) Re-bar, is improved. Therefore, Hybrid GFRP Rod is developed by attaching FBG sensor to the new GFRP Rod with toughness, essential for flexural reinforcement of the concrete. The test was performed with specimens of Hybrid GFRP Rod. According to the test, data measured by electric gauge sensor are compared with data measured by FBG sensor.

본 연구에서는 지오그리드로 보강된 사각형 복합 인공어초의 침하 및 세굴 특성을 알아보기 위해 대형 수조 침하 실험, 2차원 흐름 수조 실험 등 다양한 실내 실험을 수행하였다. 또한 인공어초의 각 배치 형태(배치도 A; 나란히 배치된 형태, 배치도 B; 지그재그로 배치된 형태)에 따른 세굴 특성을 알아보기 위해 수치해석을 수행하였다. 실내 실험 결과 무보강된 인공어초에 비해 지오그리드가 보강된 인공어초의 침하 및 세굴 깊이가 크게 저감되었다. 인공어초 배치 형태에 따른 세굴 특성을 알아보기 위한 흐름 수조 실험과 수치해석을 수행한 결과 배치도 A의 세굴 깊이와 유속 벡터는 배치도 B보다 더 감소하는 경향을 보였다.

We propose a new approach called PESA (Prioritized replay Evolutionary and Swarm Algorithms) combining prioritized replay of reinforcement learning with hybrid evolutionary algorithms. PESA hybridizes different evolutionary and swarm algorithms such as particle swarm optimization, evolution strategies, simulated annealing, and differential evolution, with a modular approach to account for other algorithms. PESA hybridizes three algorithms by storing their solutions in a shared replay memory, then applying prioritized replay to redistribute data between the integral algorithms in frequent form based on their fitness and priority values, which significantly enhances sample diversity and algorithm exploration. Additionally, greedy replay is used implicitly to improve PESA exploitation close to the end of evolution. PESA features in balancing exploration and exploitation during search and the parallel computing result in an agnostic excellent performance over a wide range of experiments and problems presented in this work. PESA also shows very good scalability with number of processors in solving an expensive problem of optimizing nuclear fuel in nuclear power plants. PESA's competitive performance and modularity over all experiments allow it to join the family of evolutionary algorithms as a new hybrid algorithm; unleashing the power of parallel computing for expensive optimization.

In the present study, the various dynamic properties of MWCNT embedded fiber reinforced polymer uniform and tapered composite (MWCNT-FRP) plates are investigated. Various configurations of a tapered composite plate with ply-drop off and uniform composite plate have been considered for the development of the finite element formulation and experimental investigations. First order shear deformation theory (FSDT) has been used to derive the kinetic and potential energy equations of the hybrid composite plates by including the effect of rotary inertia, shear deformation and non-uniformity in thickness of the plate. The governing equations of motion of FRP composite plates without and with MWCNT reinforcement are derived by considering a nine- node rectangular element with five degrees of freedom (DOF) at each node. The effectiveness of the developed finite element formulation has been demonstrated by comparing the natural frequencies and damping ratio of FRP composite plates without and with MWCNT reinforcement obtained experimentally. Various parametric studies are also performed to study the effect of CNT volume fraction and CNT aspect ratio of the composite plate on the natural frequencies of different configurations of CNT reinforced hybrid composite plates. Further the forced vibration analysis is performed to compare the dynamic response of the various configurations of MWCNT-GFRP composite plate with GFRP composite plate under harmonic excitations. It was observed that the fundamental natural frequency and damping ratio of the GFRP composite plate increase approximately 8% and 37% respectively with 0.5wt% reinforcement of MWCNT under CFCF boundary condition. The natural frequencies of MWCNT-GFRP hybrid composite plates tend to decrease with the increase of MWCNT volume fraction beyond 2% due to agglomeration of CNT's. It is also observed that the aspect ratio of the CNT has negligible effect on the improvement of dynamics properties due to randomly orientation of CNT's.

This paper investigates the effect of ductile deformation behavior of high performance hybrid fiber-reinforced cement composites (HPHFRCCs) on the shear behavior of coupling beams to lateral load reversals. The matrix ductility and the reinforcement layout were the main variables of the tests. Three short coupling beams with two different reinforcement arrangements and matrixes were tested. They were subjected to cyclic loading by a suitable experimental setup. All specimens were characterized by a shear span-depth ratio of 1.0. The reinforcement layouts consisted of a classical scheme and diagonal scheme without confining ties. The effects of matrix ductility on deflections, strains, crack widths, crack patterns, failure modes, and ultimate shear load of coupling beams have been examined. The combination of a ductile cementitious matrix and steel reinforcement is found to result in improved energy dissipation capacity, simplification of reinforcement details, and damage-tolerant inelastic deformation behavior. Test results showed that the HPFRCC coupling beams behaved better than normal reinforced concrete control beams. These results were produced by HPHFRCC's tensile deformation capacity, damage tolerance and tensile strength.
