The main objectives of this paper are to demonstrate the feasibility of using newly developed smart GFRP reinforcements to effectively monitor reinforced concrete beams subjected to flexural and creep loads, and to develop non-linear numerical models to predict the behavior of these beams. The smart glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) rebars are fabricated using a modified pultrusion process, which allows the simultaneous embeddement of Fabry-Perot fiber-optic sensors within them. Two beams are subjected to static and repeated loads (until failure), and a third one is under long-term investigation for assessment of its creep behavior. The accuracy and reliability of the strain readings from the embedded sensors are verified by comparison with corresponding readings from surface attached electrical strain gages. Nonlinear finite element modeling of the smart concrete beams is subsequently performed. These models are shown to be effective in predicting various parameters of interest such as crack patterns, failure loads, strains and stresses. The strain values computed by these numerical models agree well with corresponding readings from the embedded fiber-optic sensors.

Recently advanced countries are now beginning to use ACM (Advanced Composites Material), which is mostly used in the industry of airplane, ship building and sports equipments, in the construction industry. Compared with existing construction materials, ACM possesses many advantages such as light-weight, high-strength, corrosion resistant property. Among other manufacturing process of ACM, pultrusion is one of the promising one of civil engineering application. In this paper, the structural characteristics of pultruded GFRP strip were studied. Major parameters to influence structural behavior of pultruded GFRP are considered to be fiber volume fraction, die temperature, pulling speed and fiber orientations. The effect of these parameters are studied by experimently and analytically. From this study, it is concluded that fiber volume fraction and fiber orientations influence more on the mechanical property of pultruded GFRP. In addition to above parametric study, off-axis tests were carried out and the results are compared with failure theories. It showed that they agree well each other. Since this study is carried out in limited scope, further research on the reinforcement in the transverse direction, experiment on the compressive strength and research on the durability should be conducted for wide application of pultruded GFRP sections.

Circular sawing and milling are general machining processes used for routing fiber-reinforced plastics (FRP). In this study, the productivity and cutting quality of a circular saw and flat endmill were compared. As a result, the productivity of the circular saw was approximately ten times higher than that of the endmill for the same tool life, and the burr size of the circular saw was 14 times smaller than that of the flat-end mill. The spectrogram analysis of the cutting sound also showed that the acoustic emission of the circular saw was more uniform than that of the flat end mill. Circular sawing is thus a more suitable process for the straight cutting of pultrusion FRP than a flat endmill.

The usage of fiber-reinforced polymer materials increases in the construction sector due to their advantages in terms of high mechanical strength, lightness, corrosion resistance, low density and high strength/density ratio, low maintenance and painting needs, and high workability. In this study, it is aimed to improve mechanical properties of GFRP box profiles, produced by pultrusion method, by filling the polymer concrete into them. Within the scope of study, hybrid use of polymer concrete produced with GFRP box profiles was investigated. Hybrid pressure and bending specimens were produced by filling polymer concrete (polyester resin manufactured with natural sand and stone chips) into GFRP box profiles having different cross-sections and dimensions. Behavior of the produced hybrid members was investigated under bending and compression tests. Hollow GFRP_xx profiles, polymer-filled hybrid members, and nominative polymeric concrete specimens were tested as well. The behavior of the specimens under pressure and bending tests, and their load bearing capacities, deformations and changes in toughness were observed. According to the test results; It was deduced that hybrid design has many advantages over its component materials as well as superior physical and mechanical properties.

Fiber reinforced polymeric plastic (FRP) materials have many advantages over conventional structural materials, i.e., high specific strength and stiffness, high corrosion resistance, right weight, etc. Among the various manufacturing methods, pultrusion process is one of the best choices for the mass production of structural plastic members. Since the major reinforcing fibers are placed along the axial direction of the member, this material is usually considered as an orthotropic material. However, pultruded FRP (PFRP) structural members have low modulus of elasticity and are composed of orthotropic thin plate components the members are prone to buckle. Therefore, stability is an important issue in the design of the pultruded FRP structural members. Many researchers have conducted related studies to publish the design method of FRP structures and recently, referred to the previous researches, pre-standard for LRFD of pultruded FRP structures is presented. In this paper, the accuracy and suitability of design equation for the local buckling strength of pultruded FRP I-shape compression members presented by ASCE are estimated. In the estimation, we compared the results obtained by design equation, closed-form solution, and experiments conducted by previous researches.

펄트루젼 공정에 의해 생산된 FRP 부재는 길이에 제한이 없이 임의의 단면형상으로 제작할 수 있기 때문에 건설 구조용 부재로 사용하기 적합하며, 특히, 각종 화학적 유해환경 등에서 그 성능이 우수하기 때문에 습윤환경 및 해양환경 등의 부식환경에서 그 활용이 두드러지고 있다. 그러나 설계를 위한 관련 규준이 마련되어 있지 않아 이에 대한 연구가 시급한 실정이다. FRP 구조재는 대부분 단면의 효율적 사용을 위해 판요소로 구성된 박판부재를 사용하고 있으며, 이러한 부재를 압축재로 사용할 경우 강도한계상태는 주로 좌굴거동에 의해 결정된다. 이 연구에서는 FRP I형 단면 압축재에 대한 좌굴거동을 이론적으로 해석하였고, 기존 실험적 연구결과와 비교, 분석하여 설계방법 및 설계흐름도를 제안하였다. 제안된 설계방법은 ANSI/AISC 360-10의 방법과 유사한 형태로서 설계자의 편의를 도모하였으며, 비교적 간단한 방법에 의해 PFPR I형 단면 압축재의 설계를 수행할 수 있도록 하였다.

This paper summarizes the results of the fatigue test of four composite bridge decks in extreme temperatures (-30$^{\circ}C$ and 50$^{\circ}C$ ). The work was performed as part of a research program to evaluate and install multiple FRP bridge deck systems in Dayton, Ohio. A two-span continuous concrete deck was also built on three steel girders for the benchmark tests. Simulated wheel loads were applied simultaneously at two points by two servo-controlled hydraulic actuators specially designed and fabricated to perform under extreme temperatures. Each deck was initially subjected to one million wheel load cycles at low temperature and another one million cycles at high temperature. The results presented in this paper correspond to the fatigue response of each deck for four million load cycles at low temperature and another four million cycles at high temperature. Thus, the deck was subjected to a total of ten million cycles. Quasi-static load-deflection and load-strain responses were determined at predetermined fatigue cycle levels. Except for the progressive reduction in stiffness, no significant distress was observed in any of the composite deck prototypes during ten million load cycles. The effects of extreme temperatures and accumulated load cycles on the load-deflection and load-strain response of FRP composite and FRP-concrete hybrid bridge decks are discussed based on the experimental results.

섬유강화 플라스틱은 강재의 단점을 보완할 수 있는 다양한 장점을 가지고 있기 때문에 현재 건설구조재로 사용하기 위한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 본 연구는 펄트루젼 FRP를 구조압축재로 사용하기 위한 설계식의 개발에 관한 연구의 일부로서 설계강도에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 요소 중 국부좌굴거동에 관한 연구이다. 직교이방성 판요소로 구성된 압축부재의 설계에서 국부좌굴의 발생 여부, 국부좌굴을 주도하는 판요소의 구별 등은 매우 중요한 설계요소이며, 이러한 거동을 정밀해법에 의해 계산하기란 매우 복잡하고 난해하다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 펄트루젼 압축부재의 설계규준 개발을 위해 필요한 국부좌굴계수를 정밀해법, 에너지법, 매개변수 해석 등의 방법을 적용하여 정확하면서도 쉽게 직교이방성판의 좌굴계수와 펄트루젼 압축부재의 국부좌굴계수를 계산할 수 있는 근사식을 제안하였으며 제안된 근사식을 사용하여 펄트루젼 압축부재의 국부좌굴발생 여부 및 국부좌굴을 주도하는 판요소를 구별할 수 있는 방법을 제안하였다.

일축대칭의 단면특성을 갖는 T형 부재는 단면의 특성상 축방향 압축력으로 인하여 전체좌굴이 발생할 경우 휨-비틀림 좌굴이 지배모드가 된다. 인발성형 T형 부재의 휨-비틀림 좌굴거동을 실험적 연구를 통하여 알아보았다. E-glass/vinylester와 E-glass/polyester로 만들어진 2종류의 인발성형 부재가 사용되었으며, 보강층의 배치, 보강층의 두께, 구성물질의 부피비, 역학적 성질 등을 실험적으로 규명하였다. 좌굴실험에서 휨 및 비틀림에 대한 단순지지 조건을 만족시키기 위해서 knife edge를 사용하였으며, 3개의 potentiometer를 사용하여 실험체의 횡변위와 비틀림각을 측정하였다. 모든 실험체에 휨-비틀림 좌굴이 발행하였으며, 대부분의 실험체가 후좌굴 강도를 가지고 있음을 알 수 있었다.
