This paper presents a tri-linear restoring force model based on the test results of 12 circular RC columns strengthened by CFRP strips under low cyclic loading. The pre-stress of CFRP strips and axial load ratio of specimens are considered as the affect parameters of the proposed model. All essential characteristics of the hysteretic behavior of the proposed model, including the hysteretic rules, main performance points, strength degradation, stiffness degradation and confinement effects are explicitly analyzed. The calculated results from the proposed model are in good agreement with the experimental results, which shows that the recommended model can be reliably used for seismic behavior predictions of circular RC columns strengthened by pre-stressed CFRP strips.

This paper presents the results of an experimental investigation on the behaviour of 56 reinforced concrete beams subjected to pure torsion. The reported results include the behaviour curves, the failure modes and the values of the pre-cracking torsional stiffness, the cracking and ultimate torsional moments and the corresponding twists. The influence of the volume of stirrups, the height to width ratios and the arrangement of longitudinal bars on the torsional behaviour is discussed. In order to describe the entire torsional behaviour of the tested beams, the combination of two different analytical models is used. The prediction of the elastic till the first cracking part is achieved using a smeared crack analysis for plain concrete in torsion, whereas for the description of the post-cracking response the softened truss model is used. A simple modification to the softened truss model to include the effect of confinement is also attempted. Calculated torsional behaviour of the tested beams and 21 beams available in the literature are compared with the experimental ones and a very good agreement is observed.

To improve concrete tensile strength and bending strength, New plan that have more economical and simple manufacture process is groped. By an alternative plan, chemical pre-stressed concrete is presented. In this study, we analyzed the rheological properties of cement paste with the kind and replacement ratio of k-type CSA type expansive additives that is used mainly in domestic. and we suggested that the algorithm of a mixing plan in the chemical pre-stressed concrete and from this, we presented the basic report for the right mixing plan. From the results, Flow increased more or less according to use of expansive additives. This phenomenon was observed by increasing paste amount that shows as substitution for expansive additives that specific gravity is smaller than that of cement. As linear regression a result supposing paste that mix expansive additives by Bingham plastic fluid. The shear rate and shear stress expressed high interrelationship. therefore, flow analysis of quantitative was available. The plastic viscosity following to replacement ratio of expansive additives is no change almost, the yield value is decreased in proportion to the added amount of expansive additives. Through this experiment, we could evaluate rheological properties of cement paste using the expansive additives. Hereafter by an additional experiment, we must confirm stability assessment of material separation by using the aggregate with the kind and replacement ratio of expansive additives.

The use of post-compressed plates (PCP) to strengthen preloaded reinforced concrete (RC) columns is an innovative approach for alleviating the effects of stress-lagging between the original column and the additional steel plates. Experimental and theoretical studies on PCP-strengthened RC columns have been presented in our companion papers. The results have demonstrated the effectiveness of this technique for improving the strength, deformability and ductility of preloaded RC columns when subjected to axial or eccentric compression loading. An original and comprehensive design procedure is presented in this paper to aid engineers in designing this new type of PCP-strengthened RC column and to ensure proper strengthening details for desirable performance. The proposed design procedure consists of five parts: (1) the estimation of the ultimate load capacity of the strengthened column, (2) the design of the initial pre-camber displacement of the steel plate, (3) the design of the vertical spacing of the bolts, (4) the design of the bearing ends of the steel plates, and (5) the calculation of the tightening force of the bolts. A worked example of the design of a PCP-strengthened RC column is shown to demonstrate the application of the proposed design procedure.

This study is to get the proper evaluation of the residual property of reinforced concrete beam exposed to fire. This study focused on the strength resistance and analytical evaluation of RC members exposed high temperature. And this study is the basis analytical research to conduct the other studies. To analysis by the finite element method, the Total-RC program was used to analysis it and the Total-Temp program was also used to analysis the temperature distributions at the section. All of results were compared with the pre-existing experimental data of simple supported beam. Using it, the parameters influencing the structural capacity of the high temperature-damaged RC members and residual strength estimation are investigated. The temperature distribution and the structural capacity at the section are calculated in this step. An application of this method is compared with the heating test result and residual property test for simple supported beam which is subjected to ISO 834 test fire. The results of this study are as follows; 1) The loads-displacement relationship of RC beam, considering initial thermal stress of cross section and heat transfer analysis are estimated comparing analytical value with pre-existing experimental results. 2) by the heating time (0, 1, 2 hours), the results of analysis with parameters show that the load capacity exposing at fire is affected.

선행연구에서는 강도이론을 바탕으로 영향인자들을 반영한 해석단면에 대해 허용압축응력($Kf_{ci}$)을 해석하였고, 해석결과를 바탕으로 허용압축응력산정식을 제안하였다. 이전 연구에 대한 일련의 연구로서, 본 연구에서는 서로 다른 편심비(e/h)를 갖는 프리텐션 보 부재에 대한 프리스트레스 도입 실험을 수행하였다. 실험결과를 토대로 제안식을 검증한 결과 낮은 e/h를 갖는 프리텐션 부재의 경우, ACI318-08 및 EC2-02의 설계기준이 $Kf_{ci}$를 비안전측으로 결정하고 있음을 확인하였다. 또한 높은 e/h를 갖는 프리텐션 부재의 경우 현행의 설계기준은 $Kf_{ci}$를 과도하게 안전측으로 제안하고 있다. 이에 비해 제안식은 e/h에 따른 $Kf_{ci}$를 합리적으로 평가하는 것으로 나타났다.

공간이 한정된 도심지에서 인구가 밀집되는 가운데 도심의 복합지하공간에 대한 개발은 날로 늘어나고 있다. 이러한 가운데 홍수피해의 90% 이상이 도심지 홍수피해라고 할 만큼 도심지의 수재해에 대한 대비가 필요한 실정이다. 이러한 요구에 따라 도심지 복합지하공간 하부에 지하저류공동 시설물을 시공하여 도심지 홍수피해 시 복합지하공간에 대한 안정성을 확보하고자 한다. 지하저류공동에서 저장된 빗물을 원활히 제어하기 위해서는 한 개의 공동보다 다수의 저류공동 시설로 설계하는 것이 유리하다. 다수의 저류공동으로 시공을 할 경우 공동과 공동 사이의 필라 구조물에 상부의 하중이 집중되기 때문에 필라 구조물에서 안정성 확보 방안이 필수적이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 필라부의 안정성을 확보하기 위한 필라부 보강공법을 개발하였다. 필라부 보강공법은 철근과 PC강연선으로 구성된 보강재를 필라부에 삽입한 후 가압 그라우팅을 하고, 프리스트레스를 가하는 공법이다. 따라서 기존의 프리케스트 콘트리트 구조물로 필라부를 보강하는 것과 달리 원지반을 직접 보강하는 공법으로 원지반의 강도를 최대한 활용할 수 있다는 장점이 있다. 먼저, 가압 그라우팅을 하였을 경우 지반 보강효과뿐만 아니라 필라부에 가해지는 상부의 하중을 경감시킬 수 있는 효과가 있다. 또한 프리스트레스를 가하게 되면 필라부에 내압을 가하는 효과로 인하여 지반강도를 증가시키는 역할을 기대할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 보강효과를 통해서 필라부 주변지반의 거동이 어떻게 변화할 것인지를 판단하고자 한다. 먼저, 수치해석을 통해서 각 시공단계별 필라부 지반의 응력 변화 양상을 판단하였다. 이를 통해서 가압 그라우팅과 프리스트레스에 의한 효과를 검증할 수 있었다.

In the current study, ordinary design of Represstessed Pre-Flex (RPF) girder by classical beam theory and numerical model taking buckled shape into consideration were compared with field-survey data to find imperfections on the RPF girder before prestressing and after preflexion. It should be noted that the ordinary design do not consider deformed shape of steel girder in RPF beam. The deformed shapes of steel girder due to the incomplete fabrication that could be caused by self-weight, preflexion misalignment, existence of lateral bracing at mid-span and stiffness of reaction frame were found using a newly developed model which was verified against a deformation survey conducted on actual RPF girder in the field. The final observed deformed shapes of RPF after concrete shrinkage and before prestressing were classified into W, C and Unsymmetric shapes in regard to both survey and analytical results. The deformation survey showed negligible amount of unwanted deformation compared to the large size of the RPF girders. The shallower width of the bottom flange of steel girder caused amount of lateral torsional buckling under self-weight and preflexion thereby affecting the unwanted final overall shape of the RPF girders. However, it was found that the unwanted deformation of RPF girders by fabrication errors even though it is negligible compared to the size of the girder, caused unsymmetrical stress contours in concrete and additional tensile stress and raise some safety issues.

일반적으로 콘크리트 구조물은 보와 기둥이 서로 강결되어 있으며, 이러한 경우 강진에 의해 연결부에서 심각한 손상이 발생할 수 있다. 이를 저감시키면서 내진성능을 향상시키기 위한 다양한 연결 형태가 연구되어지고 있다. 그 한 예로 연결부에서의 회전을 허용하는 연결형식이 있으며 보나 기둥, 그리고 전단벽에 응용되고 있다. 이러한 회전형 구조요소들은 횡방향 거동시 비선형 힘-변위 관계를 나타내는데, 그 원인은 연결부의 회전으로 인한 접촉면의 깊이(contact depth)가 줄어듦과 동시에 요소의 각 단면에서의 응력이 비선형적으로 분포되는 탄성힌지 구간이 존재하기 때문이다. 이 연구에서는 축방향 하중(공칭강도의 5%와 10%)과 경계조건(양단구속 형식, 캔틸레버 형식), 세장비(L/d = 5, 7, 10) 등의 변수를 고려한 유한요소해석을 통해 회전형 기둥의 탄성힌지 구간 또는 길이를 분석하였다. 그 결과 이 세가지 변수는 탄성힌지길이 변화에는 직접적인 영향을 주지 않았으며 다만 접촉면의 깊이에 의해 지배됨을 알 수 있었다. 이 탄성힌지길이는 opening state부터 발생하기 시작하여 rocking point까지(pre-rocking 구간) 증가하였으나 그 이후(post-rocking 구간)에서는 일정한 값을 보였다. 탄성힌지길이에 대한 유한요소해석 결과를 이론적 예측식인 반무한모델(half space model)의 결과와 비교하였다.

The load-carrying capacity and structural behavior of concrete-filled steel tube (CFST) structures is highly influenced by the grouting compactness in the steel tube. Due to the invisibility of the grout in the steel tube, monitoring of the grouting progress in such a structure is still a challenge. This paper develops an active sensing approach with combined piezoceramic-based smart aggregates (SA) and piezoceramic patches to monitor the grouting compactness of CFST bridge structure. A small-scale steel specimen was designed and fabricated to simulate CFST bridge structure in this research. Before casting, four SAs and two piezoceramic patches were installed in the pre-determined locations of the specimen. In the active sensing approach, selected SAs were utilized as actuators to generate designed stress waves, which were detected by other SAs or piezoceramic patch sensors. Since concrete functions as a wave conduit, the stress wave response can be only detected when the wave path between the actuator and the sensor is filled with concrete. For the sake of monitoring the grouting progress, the steel tube specimen was grouted in four stages, and each stage held three days for cement drying. Experimental results show that the received sensor signals in time domain clearly indicate the change of the signal amplitude before and after the wave path is filled with concrete. Further, a wavelet packet-based energy index matrix (WPEIM) was developed to compute signal energy of the received signals. The computed signal energies of the sensors shown in the WPEIM demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed method in the monitoring of the grouting progress.
