A convenient method for enhancing the strength and stiffness of existing reinforced concrete beams is to bond adhesively steel plates to their tension faces. However, there is a limit to the applicability of tension face plating as the tension face plates are prone to premature debonding and, furthermore, the addition of the plate reduces the ductility of the beam. An alternative approach to tension face plating is to bond adhesively steel plates to the sides of reinforced concrete beams, as side plates are less prone to debonding and can allow the beam to remain ductile. Debonding at the ends of the side plates due to flexural forces, that is flexural peeling, is studied in this paper. A fundamental mathematical model for flexural peeling is developed, which is calibrated experimentally to produce design rules for preventing premature debonding of the plate-ends due to flexural forces. In the companion paper, the effect of shear forces on flexural peeling is quantified to produce design rules that are applied to the strengthening and stiffening of continuous reinforced concrete beams.

In this paper, the bending characteristics of the corrugated plates is analyzed. The trapezoidally, triangularlly and sinusoidally corrugated plates are considered. The corrugated plate is treated as an orthotropic plate that has different flexural properties in two perpendicular directions. The equivalent bending and twisting rigidities for the equivalent orthotropic plates are derived. The equivalent flexural rigidities are estimated under the following postulations: (1) The angle of continuously corrugated plate is not changed after the deformation. (2) When the pure bending moment is applied in corrugated direction of the plate, the its plane is in pure bending. Several numerical examples are analyzed with the proposed method and compared with published results.

This study presents test results of RC beams strengthened by steel plates, carbon fiber sheets(CFS) and aramid fiber sheets(AFS) for increasing flexural and shear resistance. The test was performed with different parameters including the type of strengthening materials, flexural-strengthening methods and shear-strengthening methods. In case of flexural test, RC beams are initially loaded to 70% of the ultimate flexural capacity and in case of shear test loaded to 60 or 80 percent of the ultimate shear capacity and subsequently reinforced with steel plates, CFS and AFS. Experimental data on strength, steel strain, deflection, and mode of failure of the reinforced beams were obtained, and comparisons between the different shear reinforced schemes and the non-strengthened control beams were made. The test results showed that damaged RC beams strengthened by steel plates, CFS and AFS have more improved the flexural and shear capacity. For the beams with external reinforcement by steel plates, aramid fiber sheets and carbon fiber sheets increases in ultimate strength of 4 to 21, 17 to 43 and 26 to 36 percent were respectively achieved. Initial load had small effect on strength after reinforcement, but an important influence on deflection. One sheet reinforced was stronger than two sheets reinforced but less deflected than two sheets reinforced.

iFLASH System is new structural floor system which consists of sandwich panels filled with nano-composite. The nano-composite has low specific gravity and high bonding strength with steel plates. The bonding strength is one of important factors for structural performance of iFLASH System and it can further be improved by surface preparation such as blast metal cleaning. However, using none blast steel plates is recommended since surface preparation generates additional fabrication time and cost. In this study, a bonding strength test and bending experiment were conducted to check feasibility of applying none blast steel plates to iFLASH System. Moreover, stress in bonding plane between steel plates and nano-composite was analytically evaluated by finite element method. Consequently, flexural capacity of the specimen was 11% higher than theoretically calibrated value and its flexural behavior was structurally efficient without defect of bonding.

This paper focuses on the flexural behavior of RC beams externally reinforced using Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastics plates (CFRP). A non-linear finite element (FE) analysis is proposed in order to complete the experimental analysis of the flexural behaviour of the beams. This paper is a part of a complete program aiming to set up design formulate to predict the strength of CFRP strengthened beams, particularly when premature failure through plates-end shear or concrete cover delamination occurs. An elasto-plastic behaviour is assumed for reinforced concrete and interface elements are used to model the bond and slip.

본 연구의 목적은 CFRP판을 다양한 방법으로 보강한 RC보의 휨거동을 실험적으로 비교 분석하고, 프리스트레싱 보강공법의 실용화를 목적으로 프리스트레싱 보강 RC부재의 휨성능 평가식을 제안하는 것이다. 실험변수로는 CFRP판의 보강방법, 콘크리트 압축강도, 인장철근비 그리고 프리스트레싱 수준 등을 고려하였다. 실험결과 프리스트레싱이 도입되지 않은 실험체는 조기 부착파괴로 인해 탄소판이 콘크리트로부터 탈락하면서 파괴된 반면, 프리스트레싱을 가한 대부분의 실험체는 CFRP판의 파단으로 파괴되었다. 프리스트레싱 보강된 부재의 휨강도를 예측할 수 있는 식을 제안하였으며, 실험결과와의 비교를 통하여 제안식은 휨강도 예측에 있어 충분한 정확도를 확보하고 있음을 확인하였다.

In recent years, FRP plates have been studied for flexural reinforcement of RC structures due to easy installation and good Quality control. This study presents experimental field test results for the effectiveness of flexural reinforcement of the RC slab using external prestressing with thin CFRP strips made by the pultrusion process. It was demonstrated that flexural strength was considerably increased with relatively easy installation when compared to the other methods used for the composite reinforcement.

본 논문의 목적은 CFRP판을 여러 가지 방법으로 보강한 RC보의 휨 거동을 실험적으로 비교, 분석하는 것이다. 휨 보강방법은 표면부착만 한 경우, CFRP판을 부착 후 단부정착한 경우 및 프리스트레스를 가한 후 단부정착한 경우의 3가지로 대별하였다. 실험결과는 단부정착한 RC보가 표면부착만 한 경우와 비교하여 연성이 증대되고 극한하중과 처짐 등의 휨성능이 개선되어 단부정착 방법이 효율적임을 보여주었으며, 특히 CFRP판에 프리스트레스를 가한 후 단부정착한 경우가 극한하중 및 연성이 현저히 증가함을 보였다.

In this paper, an Energy Flow Analysis (EFA) for coplanar coupled Mindlin plates was performed to estimate their dynamic responses at high frequencies. Mindlin plate theory can consider the effects of shear distortion and rotatory inertia, which are very important at high frequencies. For EFA for coplanar coupled Mindlin plates, the wave transmission and reflection relationship for progressing out-of-plane waves (out-of-plane shear wave, bending dominant flexural wave, and shear dominant flexural wave) in coplanar coupled Mindlin plates was newly derived. To verify the validity of the EFA results, numerical analyses were performed for various cases where coplanar coupled Mindlin plates are excited by a harmonic point force, and the energy flow solutions for coplanar coupled Mindlin plates were compared with the classical solutions in the various conditions.

In this paper, multi-story buildings with shear-wall structures and with narrow rectangular plane configuration are modeled as a multi-step flexural-shear plate with varying cross-section for buckling analysis. The governing differential equation of such a plate is established. Using appropriate transformations, the equation is reduced to analytically solvable equations by selecting suitable expressions of the distribution of stiffness. The exact solutions for buckling of such a one-step flexural-shear plate with variable stiffness are derived for several cases. A new exact approach that combines the transfer matrix method and closed from solution of one-step flexural-shear plate with continuously varying stiffness is presented for stability analysis of multi-step non-uniform flexural-shear plate. A numerical example shows that the present methods are easy to implement and efficient.
