To investigate the strengthening efficiency of the Near Surface Mounted Reinforcement (NSMR) technique analytically, a structural model for the finite element method (FEM) able to simulate accurately the experimental results was determined. Applying the finite element model, parametric analysis was performed considering the groove depth and spacing of CFRP laminates. Analytical study on the groove depth revealed the existence of a critical depth beyond which the increase of the ultimate load becomes imperceptible. Analytical results regard to the spacing of the CFRP laminates showed that comparatively smooth fluctuations of the ultimate load were produced by the variation of the spacing and the presence of an optimal spacing range for which relatively better strengthening efficiency can be obtained. Particularly, a spacing preventing the interference between adjacent CFRP laminates and the influence of the concrete cover at the edges as well as allowing the CFRP laminatesto behave independently was derived.

FRP 보강재는 기존 구조물의 보수 및 보강뿐만 아니라 신설구조물의 철근을 대체할 재료로 최근에 광범위하게 사용되고 있다. 외부에 부착되는 FRP 쉬트 및 판은 콘크리트 보와 슬래브의 휨 및 전단보강을 목적으로 사용되는 가장 일반적인 기술이지만 많은 경우에 있어서 외부에 부착된 FRP 쉬트 및 판이 파괴되기 전에 FRP와 콘크리트 계면에서 부착파괴와 같은 조기파괴가 발생하는 문제점이 대두되어 표면매립공법이 도입되었다. 본 연구에서는 표면매립공법으로 보강된 RC보의 거동 특성 및 보강성능을 파악하기 위해 실험을 수행하였다. 실험을 통하여 표면부착공법과 표면매립공법의 성능을 비교하고 탄소판 및 탄소로드의 매립 개수를 변수로 하여 보강성능을 고찰하였다. 또한 파괴모드 예측을 위해 해석모델을 제안하였다.

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.

Most of the recent studies have improved the efficiency of FRP jackets for increasing the compressive strength, shear strength, and ductility of reinforced concrete columns; however, the influence of FRP jackets on the flexural capacity is slight. Although new methods such as NSM (near surface mounted) are utilized to solve this problem, yet practical difficulties, behavior dependency on adhesives, and brittle failure necessitate finding better methods. This paper presents the results of an experimental study on the application of fiber-reinforced polymer fastened mechanically to the concrete columns to improve the flexural capacity of RC columns. For this purpose, mechanical fasteners were used to achieve the composite behavior of FRP and concrete columns. The experimental program included five reinforced concrete columns retrofitted by different methods using FRP subjected to constant axial compression and lateral cyclic loading. The experimental results showed that the use of the new method proposed in this paper increased the flexural strength and lateral load capacity of the columns significantly, and good composite action of FRP and RC column was achieved. Moreover, the experimental results were compared with the results obtained from the analytical study based on strain compatibility, and good proximity was reached.

본 연구는 순환골재를 사용한 콘크리트의 활용증대 방안으로 철근콘크리트 구조물의 노후화와 내구성 저하 시 보수 보강으로 사용되는 FRP (AFRP, CFRP) 판으로 보강된 순환골재 고강도콘크리트(40MPa, 60MPa) 보를 제작하여 순환골재 철근콘크리트 보의 휨 보강에 대한 적용성을 평가하고자 한다 기존의 표면매입보강에 따른 에폭시와 FRP 판의 부착력을 고려하지 않기 위해 콘크리트 타설 전 FRP 보강판을 거푸집에 미리 설치하였으며, 순환골재 치환율(30%), 콘크리트 강도(40MPa, 60MPa), 이형철근(D10, D13), FRP 판의 종류(AFRP 판, CFRP 판)를 변수로 12개 실험체를 제작하여, FRP 판과 순환골재 치환율에 따른 휨 성능을 분석하였다. 그 결과 FRP 판으로 보강한 실험체는 무보강 실험체에 비해 최대 17% 증가하는 경향을 나타내었으며 AFRP 판에 비해 CFRP 판의 보강 성능이 우수한 것으로 나타났다. 또한 순환골재 치환율에 따른 보강 성능의 차이는 없는 것으로 나타났다. 실험에 의해 측정된 균열모멘트는 파괴계수를 이용한 결과 기준식과 비슷한 값을 나타났으며 휨 모멘트는 FRP 판을 보강한 일부 시험체가 KCI 2012와 ACI 440-2R에서 제시한 기준을 만족하지 못하는 것으로 나타났다.

Eighteen (18) (120×300×2200 mm) beams were prepared and tested to evaluate the shear strength of Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete (GFRC) beams with no shear reinforcement, and evaluate the effectiveness of various innovative strengthening systems to increase the shear capacity of the GFRC beams. The test variables are the amount of discrete glass fiber (0.0, 0.6, and 1.2% by volume of concrete) and the type of longitudinal reinforcement bars (steel or GFRP), the strengthening systems (externally bonded (EB) sheet, side near-surface mounted (SNSM) bars, or the two together), strengthening material (GFRP or steel) links, different configurations of NSM GFRP bars (side bonded links, full wrapped stirrups, side C-shaped stirrups, and side bent bars), link spacing, link inclination angle, and the number of bent bars. The experimental results showed that adding the discrete glass fiber to the concrete by 0.6%, and 1.2% enhanced the shear strength by 18.5% and 28%, respectively in addition to enhancing the ductility. The results testified the efficiency of different strengthening systems, where it is enhanced the shear capacity by a ratio of 28.4% to 120%, and that is a significant improvement. Providing SNSM bent bars with strips as a new strengthening technique exhibited better shear performance in terms of crack propagation, and improved shear capacity and ductility compared to other strengthening techniques. Based on the experimental shear behavior, an analytical study, which allows the estimation of the shear capacity of the strengthened beams, was proposed, the results of the experimental and analytical study were comparable by a ratio of 0.91 to 1.15.
