Pre-stressing of existing structures using steel cables, FRP cables or FRP laminates has been successfully tried in the past. Retrofitting of beams using pre-stressed laminates does not utilize the full strength of the FRP due to de-bonding of the laminates before the fibre fracture. In the present study attempt has been made to overcome this problem by replacing the FRP laminates by the FRP sheets. In the present paper the effect of initial damage level and pre-stress level on strength, stiffness, cracking behaviour and failure mode of girders retrofitted using pre-stressed CFRP sheets has been studied. The results indicate that rehabilitation of initially damaged girders by bonding pre-stressed CFRP sheets improves the flexural behaviour of beams appreciably. However, it has been observed that with increase in pre-stressing force the load carrying capacity of the girders increases up to a particular level up to which the mode of failure is fibre fracture. Thereafter, the mode of failure shifts from fibre fracture to de-bonding and there is no appreciable increase in load carrying capacity with further increase in pre-stressing force.

Suspen-dome structures are extensively used due to their superiority over traditional structures. The friction between cable and joints may severely influence the distribution of cable force, especially during the pre-stressing construction period. An accurate and efficient numerical method has not yet been developed that can be used for estimating the influence of friction on cable force distribution. Thus, this study proposes an efficient friction element to simulate friction between cable and joint. A flowchart for estimating the value of friction force is introduced. These novel numerical methods were adopted to estimate the influence of friction on cable force distribution. The accuracy and efficiency of these numerical methods were validated through numerical tests.

본 연구에서는 유한요소해석을 이용하여 응력적층 바닥판의 구조성능을 평가하였다. 바닥판의 구조성능은 처짐과 응력, 압체력의 변화로 평가할 수 있다. 하중 재하 후 바닥판의 처짐 형상을 확인한 결과 하나의 판처럼 거동하는 것을 확인하였다. 이는 압체력에 의해 각 부재 사이에 마찰력이 작용했기 때문이다. 또한 초기 압체력과 산출된 압체력을 비교한 결과 바닥판의 처짐과 함께 압체력이 감소했다. 이는 하중에 의해 바닥판의 변형이 발생하면서 작용하는 힘이 줄어듦에 따라 압체력이 감소한 것으로 판단된다. 그러나 재료의 소성 특성이 제대로 반영되지 않았기 때문에 잔류응력과 잔류변형이 고려되지 않았으므로 추후 이에 대한 연구가 필요하다.

Constructive merging of "basic" systems of different behavior creates hybrid systems. In doing so, the structural elements are grouped according to the behavior in carrying the load into a geometric order that provides sufficient load and structure functionality and optimization of the material consumption. Applicable in all materializations and logical geometric forms is a transparent system suitable for the optimization of load-bearing structures. Research by individual authors gave insight into suitable system constellations from the aspect of load capacity and the approximatemethod of estimating the participation of partialstiffnesswithin the rigidity ofthe hybrid system. The obtained terms will continue to be the basisfor our own research of the influence of variable parameters on the behavior of hybrid systemsformed of glued laminated girder and cable of different geometric shapes. Previous research has shown that by applying the strut-type hybrid systems can increase the load capacity and reduce the deformability ofthe free girder.The implemented parametric analysis pointsto the basic parameterin the behavior of these systems-the rigidity ofindividual elements and the overallstiffnessofthe system.The basic idea ofpre-stressing is that, in the load system or individual load-bearing element, prior to application of the exploitation load, artificially challenge the forcesthatshould optimize the finalsystembehaviorin the overall load. Pre-stressing is possible only if the supporting system orsystem's element possesssufficientstrength orstiffness, orreaction to the imposed forces of pre-stressing. In this paper will be presented own research of the relationship of partial stiffness of strut-type hybrid systemsofdifferentgeometric forms.Conducted parametric analysisofhybridsystemswithandwithoutpre-stressing, and on the example of the glulam-steel strut-type hybrid system under realistic conditions of change in the moisture content ofthe wooden girder,resulted in accurate expressions and diagramssuitable for application in practice.

In order to identify the exact behavior of corbel section, the horizontal force acting on corbel section should be considered as well as the vertical force. In this study, a new corbel section, which is economical and easy to construct, is developed by evaluating the exact strength of the section. Experiments were performed to verify the strengths of the proposed sections comparing with those of the currently used section. The summary of the experiment results are as follows: 1) In order to minimize the horizontal force effect, it was found that the use of pre-stressing was most effective, and that TB type corbel section is a most efficient section in terms of economy and workability. 2) The experimentally obtained strength of corbel section matched well with that estimated using shear friction theory. Therefore, it is concluded that shear friction theory would be very useful if a precise crack angie in the corbel section, which is pre-stressed by PS strings and threaded bolts, is available.

Due to the fact that the nonlinear low-velocity impact response of graphene platelets reinforced metal foams (GPLRMF) doubly curved shells have not been investigated in the existing works, this paper aims to solve this issue. Using Reddy's high-order shear deformation theory (HSDT), the nonlinear governing equations of GPLRMF doubly curved shells are obtained by Euler-Lagrange method, discretized by Galerkin principle, and solved by the fourth-order Runge-Kutta method to obtain the impact force and central deflection. The nonlinear Hertz contact law is applied to determine the contact force. Finally, the impacts of graphene platelets (GPLs) distribution pattern, porosity distribution form, porosity coefficient, damping coefficient, impact parameters (radius and initial velocity), GPLs weight fraction, pre-stressing force and different shell types on the low-velocity impact curves are analyzed. It can be found that, among the four shell structures, the impact resistance of spherical shell is the best, while that of cylindrical shell is the worst.

Architectural fabrics membranes have not only the structural performance but also act as an efficient cladding to cover large areas. Because of the direct relationship between form and force distribution in tension membrane structures, form-finding procedure is an important issue. Ideally, once the optimal form is found, a uniform pre-stressing is applied to the fabric which takes the form of a minimal surface. The force density method is one of the most efficient computational form-finding techniques to solve the initial equilibrium equations. In this method, the force density ratios of the borders to the membrane is the main parameter for shape-finding. In fact, the shape is evolved and improved with the help of the stress state that is combined with the desired boundary conditions. This paper is evaluated the optimum amount of this ratio considering the curvature of the flexible boarders for structural configurations, i.e., hypar and conic membranes. Results of this study can be used (in the absence of the guidelines) for the fast and optimal design of fabric structures.

최근 도심 구조물의 규모가 급격히 대형화됨에 따라 인접구조물이 존재하는 상태에서 대규모의 기초구조물의 설치를 위한 넓고 깊은 범위의 굴착이 빈번히 시행되고 있어 안전관리의 중요성이 크게 부각되고 있다. 시공 및 사용 중에 토류구조물의 안전성을 확보하기 위해서는 쏘일앵커, 쏘일네일 및 락앵커 등의 지반보강재에 작용하는 프리스트레스 하중(prestress force) 및 변형을 지속적이고 효과적으로 관측할 수 있는 방법이 필요하다. 그러나 현재 현장에서 주로 사용되는 전기저항식 로드셀과 스트레인게이지, 바이브레이팅 타입의 변형율계를 이용한 변형 및 장력의 측정은 센서 자체의 자기열화 특성 때문에 장기적인 모니터링에는 효과적이지 않을뿐더러 시험체 내부에서 다수의 측정점을 측정하기 위해서는 많은 스트레인게이지를 설치하기 위해 리드선의 공간이 크게 필요한 단점이 있다. FBG(Fiber Bragg Grating)센서는 스트레인게이지와 비교해서 매우 작은 직경을 가지며 전자기파에 의한 노이즈가 없고 내구성이 커서 장기적인 모니터링이 필요한 구조물에 매우 유용하게 사용될 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 7연 강연선의 센터 킹케이블에 FBG 센서를 내장한 스마트 텐던을 이용하여 토류구조물의 보강에 활용되고 있는 앵커와 주변 그라우트면의 하중전이 특성에 대한 일련의 실내실험 결과를 기술하였다. 연구결과 스마트 텐던은 기존의 스트레인 게이지 변형율계로는 마땅히 측정할 수 없던 7연 강연선과 그라우트면의 변형률을 매우 효과적으로 측정할 수 있을 뿐 아니라 하나의 선으로 여러 위치의 변형을 효과적으로 측정할 수 있어 지반보강재의 장력모니터링 뿐만 아니라 그라우트로 부착된 부분의 하중전이 특성을 효과적으로 파악할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다.

With the substantial increase of the size of structure, management and monitoring of excavation for the foundation construction becomes more difficult. Therefore, massive collapses which are related to retaining wall recently increase. However, since the study on measuring and monitoring the pre-stressing force of anchor is insufficient, behavior of anchor may not be predicted and monitored appropriately by the existing strain gauge type monitoring system. FBG Sensor, which is smaller than strain gauge and has better durability and does not have a noise from electromagnetic waves, was adapted to develope a smart anchor. A series of pullout tests were performed to verify the feasibility of smart anchor and find out the load transfer mechanism around the steel wire fixed to rock with grout.
