An analytical methodology for the calculation of the flexural and the shear capacity of concrete members with Fibre-Reinforced-Polymer (FRP) bars as tensional reinforcement is proposed. The flexural analysis is initially based on the design provisions of ACI 440.1R-15 which have properly been modified to develop general charts that simplify computations and provide hand calculations. The specially developed charts include non-dimensional variables and can easily be applied in sections with various geometrical properties, concrete grade and FRP properties. The proposed shear model combines three theoretical considerations to facilitate calculations. A unified flexural/shear approach is developed in flow chart which can be used to estimate the ultimate strength and the expected failure mode of a concrete beam reinforced with longitudinal FRP bars, with or without transverse reinforcement. The proposed methodology is verified using existing experimental data of 138 beams from the literature, and it predicts the load-bearing capacity and the failure mode with satisfactory accuracy.

When subjected to severe shear deformation by ECAP, microstructure of Al2024 becomes extremely refined. To measure the strength of that, small punch(SP) testing method was adopted as a substitute for the conventional uniaxial tensile testing because the size of material processed by ECAP were limited to ${\psi}12\;mm$ in transverse direction. SP tests were performed with specimens in longitudinal and transverse directions of Al2024 ECAP metal. For comparing the strength values with those assessed by SP tests, uniaxial tensile tests were also conducted with specimens in longitudinal direction. Failure surfaces of the tested SP specimens showed that failure mode was shear deformation and Al 2024 ECAP metal has an anisotropy in strength. Thus, conventional equations proposed for assessing the strength characteristics were improper to assess those of Al2024 ECAP metal. In this paper a way of assessing the strength of Al 2024 ECAP metal was proposed and was proven to be effective.

Exterior beam-column joints are structural elements that ensure connection between beams and columns. The joint strength is generally assumed to be governed by the structural element of lowest load capacity (beam or column), however, the joint may be the weakest link. The joint shear behavior is still not well understood due to the influence of several variables, such as geometry of the connection, stress level in the column, concrete strength and longitudinal beam reinforcement. A parametrical study based only on experiments would be impracticable and not necessarily exposes the failure mechanisms. This paper reports on a set of numerical simulations conducted in DIANA$^{(R)}$ software for the investigation of the shear strength of exterior joints. The geometry of the joints and stress level on the column are the variables evaluated. Results have led to empirical expressions that provide the shear strength of unreinforced exterior beam-column joints.

In this research, we tested 10 simply supported concrete-encased composite columns under monotonic eccentric loads and investigated their shear behaviour. The specimens tested were two reinforced concrete specimens, three steel-reinforced concrete (SRC) specimens with an H-shaped steel section (also called a beam section), and five SRC specimens with a cruciform-shaped steel section (also called a column section). The experimental variables included the transverse steel shape's depth and the longitudinal steel flange's width. Experimental observations indicated the following. (1) The ultimate load-carrying capacity was controlled by web compression failure, defined as a situation where the concrete within the diagonal strut's upper end was crushed. (2) The composite effect was strong before the crushing of the concrete outside the steel shape. (3) We adjusted the softened strut-and-tie SRC (SST-SRC) model to yield more accurate strength predictions than those obtained using the strength superposition method. (4) The MSST-SRC model can more reasonably predict shear strength at an initial concrete softening load point. The rationality of the MSST-SRC model was inferred by experimentally observing shear behaviour, including concrete crushing and the point of sharp variation in the shear strain.

The purpose of the present study is to present a new approach to designing and selecting the details of multidimensional continuous RC beam by applying all strength, serviceability, ductility and other constraints based on ACI318-14 using Teaching Learning Based Optimization (TLBO) algorithm. The optimum reinforcement detailing of longitudinal bars is done in two steps. in the first stage, only the dimensions of the beam in each span are considered as the variables of the optimization algorithm. in the second stage, the optimal design of the longitudinal bars of the beam is made according to the first step inputs. In the optimum shear reinforcement, using gradient-based methods, the most optimal possible mode is selected based on the existing assumptions. The objective function in this study is a cost function that includes the cost of concrete, formwork and reinforcing steel bars. The steel used in the objective function is the sum of longitudinal and shear bars. The use of a catalog list consisting of all existing patterns of longitudinal bars based on the minimum rules of the regulation in the second stage, leads to a sharp reduction in the volume of calculations and the achievement of the best solution. Three example with varying degrees of complexity, have been selected in order to investigate the optimal design of the longitudinal and shear reinforcement of continuous beam.

Reinforced concrete (RC) interior beam-column joints with high-strength materials: concrete compressive strength of 100 MPa and the yield strength of longitudinal bars of 685 MPa, were analyzed using three-dimensional (3-D) nonlinear finite element method (FEM). Specimen OKJ3 of joint shear failure type was a plane interior joint, and Specimen 12 of beam flexural failure type was a 3-D interior joint with transverse beams. Though the analytical initial stiffness was higher than experimental one, the analytical results gave a good agreement with the test results on the maximum story shear forces, the failure mode.

이 논문에서는 기존 PHC말뚝의 전단성능을 향상시키기 위하여 전단철근과 내부충전 콘크리트로 보강한 ICP 말뚝을 제안하였다. 허용응력 설계법을 바탕으로 전단철근 및 내부충전 콘크리트를 설계하였으며, 이를 바탕으로 2종류의 시험체를 제작하여 KS규격에 따라 전단시험을 수행하였다. 전단시험 결과, KS규격에 의거한 시험방법으로는 전단파괴를 얻을 수 없었으나, 제안된 방법에 의한 전단보강효과는 충분히 검증할 수 있었다. ICP말뚝 시험체의 전단 저항력은 기존 PHC말뚝에 비하여 평균 2배 이상으로 증진되는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 축방향 철근을 추가 보강한 ICP말뚝 시험체의 전단 저항력은 기존 PHC말뚝에 비하여 평균 2.5배 이상 증진되었다. 한편 허용응력설계법에 따라 결정된 ICP 말뚝의 허용 전단력에 비하여 시험으로 측정된 전단강도는 약 2.9 이상의 안전율을 갖는 것으로 나타났다.

The push-out tests have been conducted on the specimens which consist of the steel beam with U-shape section and the cap-type shear connectors with constant intervals. Existing equations for the evaluation of shear connector strength have been investigated on the basis of test results. The reinforcing bars for longitudinal reinforcement and the penetrative bars for transverse reinforcement didn't have much effect on the shear capacity of the cap-type shear connector. The larger the width of cap-type shear connector was profiled, the greater the shear strength turned. The shear capacities of cap-type shear connectors with constant intervals were evaluated on the basis of push-out test results, and those were possible to be determined with proper safety margin using the Eurocode 4. The slip capacity of cap-type shear connector was shown to exceed the limit value of 6mm for sufficiently ductile behavior.

최근의 건설 재료의 발전은 인공경량골재의 대량생산을 가능케 했으며 이를 사용한 경량고강도콘크리트의 발전을 가속화시켰다. 경량고강도콘크리트는 Dead Load를 감소시켜 건설비용을 경감시킬 뿐만 아니라 자중 감소로 인하여 지진 등에도 적절히 대응할 수 있는 재료이다. 그러나 대부분의 연구가 보통중량 골재를 사용한 고강도 콘크리트에 대한 연구이고, 경량골재를 사용한 고강도콘크리트에 대해서는 그 연구 결과가 많지 않다. 일반적으로 철근콘크리트 보의 전단강도는 콘크리트의 압축강도, 인장철근비, 전단스팬비, 그리고 전단보강철근의 유무에 영향을 받는다고 한다. 이에 본 연구에서는 전단스팬비(a/d = 1.5, 2.5, 3.5, 4.5)와 전단보강철근( ${\rho}_8= 0%$, 1.136%)을 변수로 한 총 8개의 시험체를 가지고 경량고강도콘크리트의 전단거동에 관한 특성을 규명하고자 전단실험을 행했다. 실험결과들은 ACI 규준식 및 Zsutty의 제안식과 비교 검토되었다. 그 결과 ACI(11-3)식과 (11-6)식은 경량콘크리트 보에서도 적용 가능하고, 또한 Zsutty 의 제안식도 전단스팬비(a/d)가 1.5인 경우를 제외하고는 적용될 수 있음을 알 수 있었다.

보의 전단 메커니즘을 구성하는 보 작용과 아치 작용은 전단경간비(a/d)에 따라 그 존재 비율이 바뀔 뿐, 항상 공존한다. 그러나 대부분의 제안식들은 이를 함께 고려하지 않으며, 단순히 a/d=2.5를 기준으로 식의 형태를 나누어 제시하는 것에 그치고 있다. 또한 현 설계 기준은 과거의 일반 강도 콘크리트를 기준으로 설립되었기 때문에, 현재 사용 추세가 점차 증가하고 있는 고강도 콘크리트에 적용하기에는 다소 한계점이 있다. 이러한 문제점을 보완하고자, 본 연구에서는 a/d의 범위에 구애받지 않으며 고강도의 콘크리트에서도 사용이 가능한 전단 강도 예측식을 제안하였다. 보 작용과 아치 작용을 동시에 고려하기 위해 Jenq과 Shah 모델을 바탕으로 축방향에 따른 철근의 응력 변화를 산정하여, 단면의 모멘트로부터 전단 강도를 산출하였다. 보다 정확한 예측식의 제안을 위하여 장부 작용과 전단 마찰과 같은 2차적인 작용들 역시 제안식에 포함시켰으며, 크기 효과도 반영하였다. 식의 상수를 결정하고 식의 형태를 간략화하기 위해 다량의 실험 자료를 이용하여 회귀분석을 실시하였다. 제안식을 콘크리트의 압축강도($f'_c$), 전단경간비(a/d), 철근비($\rho$), 보의 유효 깊이(d), 철근의 항복강도($f_y$)의 변수를 기준으로 기존의 식들과 비교 검증한 결과, 제안식이 보다 정확하고 합리적인 예측을 하는 것으로 판명되었다. 또한 제안식의 변수별 거동 양상 역시 실험값과 비교적 일치하는 것으로 나타났다.
