This study investigated the evolution of electro-mechanical impedance (EMI) of piezoelectricity (PZT) sensor embedded in hydrating steel fiber reinforced mortar to determine the setting times of that. Penetration resistance test was also conducted in order to justify the valid of EMI sensing technique. As a result, the setting times of steel fiber reinforced mortar can be effectively monitored through the EMI sensing technique using PZT sensor.

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.

A strengthening technique for reinforced concrete beams using external unhanded reinforcement offers advantages in speed and simplicity of installation over other, established, strengthening techniques. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the capabilities of a new retrofitting technique, namely external prestressing out cable, for flexural strengthening of beams. The paper provides a general description of structural behavior of beams strengthened using the technique. Results of four physical tests on strengthened reinforced concrete beams are reported and compared. It is shown that the technique can provide greater strength enhancement to lightly reinforced sections and that provision of deflectors enhances efficiency.

본 연구에서는 보강토 옹벽 점검 자료를 바탕으로 보강토 옹벽의 상태평가항목의 가중치를 새롭게 제안하고 결함점수 및 결함지수를 제안하였다. 161개소의 보강토 옹벽의 점검결과를 근거로 다중회귀분석과 엔트로피 기법을 이용하여 상태평가항목별 가중치를 산정하였으며, 또한 전문가를 대상으로 AHP 기법을 활용하여 평가항목별 가중치를 산정하였다. 각 기법에서 도출된 가중치를 활용하여 혼한 가중치를 제안하였으며, 제안 가중치를 토대로 결함점수 및 결함지수를 제안하여 기존 161개소 현장에 적용하여 현재의 가중치와 제안 가중치에 의한 현장별 위험도 순위를 비교 분석하였다. 다중회귀분석, AHP 기법, 엔트로피 기법을 활용하여 분석한 결과 상태평가항목의 가중치 순위가 변동이 컸으며, 현재 상태평가항목의 가중치와 달리 가중치 순위의 중복은 발생하지 않았다. 특히, 다중회귀분석 결과에서는 특정 상태평가항목이 전체 가중치의 70% 이상을 차지하는 결과가 도출되었다. 제안한 혼합 가중치를 기존 보강토 옹벽 데이터에 적용한 결과, 상태평가항목의 가중치 중복은 발생하지 않았으며, 대상 보강토 옹벽 161 개소 중 16 개소의 위험도 순위 상승과 31 개소의 위험도 하락이 발생하였다.

It was well recognized that the damages associated mainly with the aging of civil infrastructures were one of very serious problems for assurance of safety and reliability. Recently carbon fiber sheet(CFS) has been widely used for reinforcement and rehabilitation of damaged concrete beam. However, the fundamental mechanism of load transfer and its load-resistant for carbon fiber sheet reinforced concrete are not fully understood. In this study, three point bending test has been carried out to understand the damage progress and the micro-failure mechanism of CFS reinforced mortars. For this purpose, four different types of specimens are used, that is, mortar, steel bar reinforced mortar, CFS reinforced mortar, and steel bar and CFS reinforced morter. Acoustic Emission(AE) technique was used to evaluate the characteristics of damage progress and the failure mechanism of specimens. in addition, two-dimensional AE source location was also performed to monitor crack initiation and propagation processes for these specimens.

The aim of the present paper is to present the cyclic behavior of strengthened reinforced concrete shear wall test specimen, which was reinforced with cold drawn welded wire mesh fabric. Two reinforced concrete shear wall specimens have been tested in the present study. The walls were tested under reversed cyclic loading with loading applied near the tip of the walls. The control wall is tested in its original state to serve as a baseline for the evaluation of the repair and strengthening techniques. The two test specimens include a control wall and a repaired wall. The control wall test specimen was designed and detailed to simulate non-ductile reinforced concrete shear walls that do not meet the modern seismic provisions. The response of the original wall was associated with the brittle failure. The control shear wall was repaired by addition of the reinforcements and the concrete and then it was reloaded. The effectiveness of the repair technique was investigated. Test results indicate that there can be a near full restoration of the walls' strength. The data from this test, augmenting other data available in the literature, will be useful in calibrating improved analytical methods as they are developed.

In general, Reinforced Slopes by Shotcrete are difficult to inspect because of stiff Slope and highly Working Area. So the Inspection Techniques are needed by the Non-contact and Non-destructive. On this Study, Appling the safety method to finding the weak zones(cavity area, dampness area, etc.) by using the Infrared Thermal Technique That is detecting the Detail Thermal Difference on the Surface of Reinforced Slopes by Shotcrete.

The use of the epoxy pressure injection technique to rehabilitate reinforced concrete beam-column joints damaged by strong earthquakes is investigated experimentally and analytically. Two one-half-scale exterior beam-column joint specimens were exposed to reverse cyclic loading similar to that generated from strong earthquake ground motion, resulting in damage. Both specimens were typical of new structures and incorporated full seismic details in current building codes. Thus the first specimen was designed according to Eurocode 2 and Eurocode 8 and the second specimen was designed according to ACI-318 (1995) and ACI-ASCE Committee 352 (1985). The specimens were then repaired with an epoxy pressure injection technique. The repaired specimens were subjected to the same displacement history as that imposed on the original specimens. The results indicate that the epoxy pressure injection technique was effective in restoring the strength, stiffness and energy dissipation capacity of specimens representing a modem design.

Non-contact technique should be developed for receiving ultrasonic wave for on-line monitoring of processing defects of fiber reinforced composites, since couplant must be applied on composite materials when conventional ultrasonic testing technique was used. Restriction of conventional ultrasonic testing technique was proven by transmitting and receiving ultrasonic wave on CFRP in various direction of wave propagation with various incident angle of ultrasonic beam. Air-coupled transducer and laser interferometer were applied for non-contacting reception of ultrasonic wave in fiber reinforced composite materials. Air-coupled transducer has optimal sensitivity and frequency band of 300kHz has homogeneous characteristics on direction of wave propagation.

In recent years, carbon fiber reinforced polymer(CFRP) has been widely used for reinforcement of damaged concrete structures. However, the fundamental mechanisms of load transfer and load-resistance for reinforced concrete beams retrofitted by CFRP are not fully understood. Acoustic emission(AE) technique was used to evaluate the characteristics of damage progress and the failure mechanism of reinforced concrete beams retrofitted by CFRP. In this study, three-paint-bending test has been carried out to investigate the AE characteristics of four specimens. The results show that the AE technique is a valuable tool to study the failure mechanism of reinforced concrete beams retrofitted by CFRP.
