An evaluation equation of the minimum shear reinforcement content for reinforced concrete beams was theoretically proposed. The proposed equation takes into account the effects of compressive strength of concrete, longitudinal reinforcement content and shear span ratio. The proposed equation was compared with the current ACI 318-99 and CSA A23.3-94 codes.

Results of an experimental study on the pullout behavior of the headed reinforcement are presented. A total of 48 pullout tests was performed to evaluate pullout strengths and load-displacement behaviors in pullout of the headed bars. The square steel heads had gross area of 4 $A_{b}$ and thickness of $d_{b}$ The test program consisted of three pullout test groups: Simple and Edge pullout tests using plain concrete slabs, comparison of pullout performances between the standard hooks and the headed reinforcement, and pullout tests of headed reinforcement using reinforced concrete columns. Test variables included concrete strengths ( $f_{c}$' = 27.1MPa, 39.1MPa), reinforcing bar diameters (D16~D29), embedment depths (6 $d_{b}$~12 $d_{b}$), edge conditions, column reinforcement, and single-vs.-multiple bar pullout. Test results revealed that the heads effectively provided the pullout resistances of the deformed bars in tension. The load-displacement behaviors were similar between the 90-degree hooks and the headed reinforcement. When a multiple number of headed bars installed with small head-to-head spacings was pulled out, reinforcement designed to run across the concrete failure surface in a direction parallel to the headed bars helped improve the pullout performances of the headed reinforcement.t.ement.t.

For the recycling of the resources and the preservation of the environment, this study's purpose is to measure flexural behavior of the reinforced concrete beams with the major variables like concrete strength, replacement ratio of the recycled aggregate and the waste foundry sand and the tension reinforcement ratio and to present the data of the recycled aggregate used for the structure design. The experiment on the flexural behavior resulted in the followings. The ultimate strength of recycled R/C beam was manipulated proportionate to the tension reinforcement ratio, however the strength instantly decreased after passing the ultimate load due to the destroyed concrete of the compression side. The deflection at the maximum load varied from the tension reinforcement ratio by 5.5 times. The test specimen with the tension reinforcement ratio less than $0.5{\rho}b$ showed constant curve without change in the load from the yield to the ultimate load in contrast to the distinctive plastic region where the displacement was rising. Although the strain of main tension steel with the reinforcement ratio indicate different, the design of recycled concrete member can be applied for current design code for reinforced concrete structure as the ratio of tension reinforcement district the under the reinforcement ration in a balanced strain condition.

An experimental study was carried out to determine pullout behavior of a new type of anchor bolt that used deformed reinforcement and a commercial adhesive. Concrete slabs and columns with about 20-MPa compressive strength were used for 136 pullout tests performed. Test variables included anchor diameter (10 mm ~ 32 mm). embedment depth (10$\Phi$ or 15$\Phi$), edge effect. and Presence of transverse reinforcement in existing concrete. In Tyre-S test. where the edge or reinforcing steel effect was not included, the anchor Pullout strengths increased with increasing anchor diameters. Anchors with 15$\Phi$ embedment depth had higher Pullout strengths than those with 100 embedment depth The largest average Pullout load of 208 kN was determined for anchors made with D25 reinforcement and with 15$\Phi$ embedment depth. In Type-E tests, where the anchors were installed close to the edge of existing concrete, there were reductions in pullout strengths when compared to those determined in Type-S tests. In Type-ER tests, influence of the reinforcement in existing concrete on the anchor pullout strengths was examined using reinforced concrete and plain concrete columns Test results indicated that existing transverse reinforcement (column ties) did not help increase the pullout strength. The overall pullout test results revealed that the new anchor bolt can develop large pullout strengths while the anchors can be made of materials that are readily available in the market.

This paper discusses the chloride-induced corrosion of reinforcement in marine concrete structures focusing on the variability in the progress of deterioration. Through tests and analyses of reinforced concrete slabs taken out from existing open-pile structures that have been in service for 30 to 40 years, the following topics were particularly discussed: variation in chloride ion profiles of concrete, variation in corrosion properties of reinforcement embedded in concrete, and influence of the reinforcement corrosion on the load-carrying capacity of the concrete slabs. As a result, their variability was found to be very large even in one reinforced concrete slab with almost the same conditions. It was also discussed how to determine the calculation parameters for prediction of decreasing in load-carrying capacity of concrete members with chloride-induced corrosion of reinforcement.

In first experiment series, this paper is devoted for examining progress of reinforcement corrosion due to carbonation in concrete and to quantify uncarbonation depth to protect reinforcement from corroding. The tolerance of cover depth should be considered in order to prevent carbonation-induced corrosion. From the relationship between the weight loss of reinforcement and corrosion current density for a given time, therefore, the tolerance of cover depth to prevent carbonation-induced corrosion is computed. It is observed that corrosion occurs when the distance between carbonation front and reinforcement surface (uncarbonated depth) is smaller than 5 mm.As a secondary purpose of this study, it is investigated to examine the interaction between carbonation and chloride penetration and their effects on concrete. This was examined experimentally under various boundary conditions. For concrete under the double condition, the risk of deterioration due to carbonation was not severe. However, it was found that the carbonation of concrete could significantly accelerate chloride penetration. As a result, chloride penetration in combination with carbonation is a serious cause of deterioration of concrete.

In this study, the extreme learning machine and deep learning models were devised to estimate the bond strength of corroded reinforcement in concrete. The six inputs and one output were used in this study. The compressive strength, concrete cover, bond length, steel type, diameter of steel bar, and corrosion level were selected as the input variables. The results of bond strength were used as the output variable. Moreover, the Analysis of variance (Anova) was used to find the effect of input variables on the bond strength of corroded reinforcement in concrete. The prediction results were compared to the experimental results and each other. The extreme learning machine and the deep learning models estimated the bond strength by 99.81% and 99.99% accuracy, respectively. This study found that the deep learning model can be estimated the bond strength of corroded reinforcement with higher accuracy than the extreme learning machine model. The Anova results found that the corrosion level was found to be the input variable that most affects the bond strength of corroded reinforcement in concrete.

This study reports the results of flexural test on 6 specimens for maximum reinforcement ratio and 4 specimens for minmum reinforcement ratio with concrete compressive strength 1,000, 1,200 kg/$\textrm{cm}^2$ . The major test variables for the reinforcement ratio designed 0.55$\rho_b$, 0.65$\rho_b$, 0.75$\rho_b$ for maximurm reinforcement ratio test 14/fy $\sqrt[0.72]{\rho}\acute{f}_c$ / $f_y$ for minimum reinforcement ratio test. The test results were compared with ACI 318-95 Code. In the Ultra High Strength Concrete beam, the maximum reinforcement ration should be less than 0.6$\rho_b$ for ductile behavior and the existing minimum reinforcement ratio by ACI Building Code is Sufficiently safe.

Corrosion inhibitors are widely used to protect chloride-induced corrosion of reinforcement in concrete. However, the number of researches on the corrosion of reinforcement, when corrosion inhibitor is used, is not enough for actual application in the field. In addition, on corrosion of reinforcement a quantitative standard about corrosion inhibitor does not exist and the data about its influencing concrete are relatively rare. In this study, the effectiveness of rebar corrosion protection, setting time, compressive strength, chloride ion's penetration, and diffusion test were performed using with three different kinds of corrosion inhibitors.
