This study presented the reinforcing effect of sands by using newly devised 3D Tirecell. Plate loading tests for sand were conducted for different relative density and number of reinforced layers. From the tests, the ultimate bearing capacity of reinforced sand increased with increasing relative densities. The effect of reinforced layers with 0.4B interval is limited to 2 layers and further reinforcing effects can not be obtained beyond 3 layers. Especially the bearing capacity increased remarkably at 1 layer of Tirecell reinforcement and the degree of increase was small for 1 layer to 2 layers increase of reinforcement. Test results show that the reinforcing effect of Tirecell is prominent compared with commercial geocell in the literature.

Behavior of concrete elements under the effect of high-speed projectiles has gain increasing interest recently. It's necessary to understand how far the concrete can absorb the effect of bullets in order to save the occupants when design security and military infrastructures. This study presents a total of 18 concrete slabs casted and tested under reinforcement ratios, 0%, 0.35% and 0.7%. Parameters interested were slab thickness, (50 mm, 100 mm, and 150 mm) and type of weapon. All specimens tested to investigate their response under the effect of attacking by two common types of weapon. In general, it was found that projectile penetration was controlled by their thickness regardless the steel reinforcement ratio. However, the steel reinforcement controls the damage.

The frontal crash optimization of S-shaped closed-hat section member using the homogenization method, design of experiment (DOE) and response surface method (RSM) was studied. The optimization to effectively absorb more crash energy was studied to introduce the reinforcement design. The main focus of design was to decide the optimum size and thickness of reinforcement. In this study, the location of reinforcement was decided by homogenization method. Also, the effective size and thickness of reinforcements was studied by design of experiments and response surface method. The effects of various impact velocity for reinforcement design were researched. The high impact velocity reinforcement design showed to absorb the more crash energy than low velocities design. The effect of size and thickness of reinforcement was studied and the sensitivity of size and thickness was different according to base thickness of model. The optimum size and thickness of the reinforcement has shown a direct proportion to the thickness of base model. Also, the thicker the base model was, the effect of optimization using reinforcement was the bigger. The trend curve for effective size and thickness of reinforcement using response surface method was obtained. The predicted size and thickness of reinforcement by RSM were compared with results of DOE. The results of a specific dynamic mean crushing loads for the predicted design by RSM were shown the small difference with the predicted results by RSM and DOE. These trend curves can be used as a basic guideline to find the optimum reinforcement design for S-shaped member.

DDARF (Discontinuous Deformation Analysis for Rock Failure) is a numerical algorithm for simulating jointed rock masses' discontinuous deformation. While its reinforcement simulation is only limited to end-anchorage bolt, which is assumed to be a linear spring simply. Here, several new reinforcement modes in DDARF are proposed, including lining reinforcement, full-length anchorage bolt and equivalent reinforcement. In the numerical simulation, lining part is assigned higher mechanical strength than surrounding rock masses, it may include multiple virtual joints or not, depending on projects. There must be no embedding or stretching between lining blocks and surrounding blocks. To realize simulation of the full-length anchorage bolt, at every discontinuity passed through the bolt, a set of normal and tangential spring needs to be added along the bolt's axial and tangential direction. Thus, bolt's axial force, shearing force and full-length anchorage effect are all realized synchronously. And, failure criterions of anchorage effect are established for different failure modes. In the meantime, from the perspective of improving surrounding rock masses' overall strength, a new equivalent and tentative simulation method is proposed, it can save calculation storage and improve efficiency. Along the text, simulation algorithms and applications of these new reinforcement modes in DDARF are given.

A finite element model (FEM) for predicting early-age behavior of reinforced concrete (RC) bridge deck slabs with fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) bars is presented. In this model, the shrinkage profile of concrete accounted for the effect of surrounding conditions including air flow. The results of the model were verified against the experimental test results, published by the authors. The model was verified for cracking pattern, crack width and spacing, and reinforcement strains in the vicinity of the crack using different types and ratios of longitudinal reinforcement. The FEM was able to predict the experimental results within 6 to 10% error. The verified model was utilized to conduct a parametric study investigating the effect of four key parameters including reinforcement spacing, concrete cover, FRP bar type, and concrete compressive strength on the behavior of FRP-RC bridge deck slabs subjected to restrained shrinkage at early-age. It is concluded that a reinforcement ratio of 0.45% carbon FRP (CFRP) can control the early-age crack width and reinforcement strain in CFRP-RC members subjected to restrained shrinkage. Also, the results indicate that changing the bond-slippage characteristics (sand-coated and ribbed bars) or concrete cover had an insignificant effect on the early-age crack behavior of FRP-RC bridge deck slabs subjected to shrinkage. However, reducing bar spacing and concrete strength resulted in a decrease in crack width and reinforcement strain.

The main objective of this experimental study is to investigate shear strength of reinforced concrete beams according to longitudinal reinforcement ratio (ρ) and size effect. In order to find out the shear strength according to the tensile reinforcement ratio, in particular, the main variables are 100%, 75% and 50% of ρ=0.01 which is widely used in construction field. A total of twelve RC beams were tested under 4-point loading conditions. In addition to the existing proposal equations, the theoretical values such as KBC and ACI equations are compared with the experimental data. Through this analysis, this study is designed to provide more reasonable equations for shear design of reinforced concrete beams. When shear reinforcement bar spacing of nine specimens (R^*-1, R^*-2, and R^*-3 series) fixed as d/s=2.0 and three specimens of R^*-4 series fixed as d/s=1.5 are compared, the shear strength of two groups showed similar values. As a result, the current standard of d/s=2.0 for shear reinforcement bar spacing may be somewhat alleviated.

This study the change of the safety factor before and after the reinforcement were compared by performing the parameter research based on the limit equilibrium analysis regarding the same cross section after carrying out the safety factor before the reinforcement on the virtual section in order to observe the change of the safety factor of the slop reinforced with the slope planting reinforced earth, and the variation of the safety factor according to the increase of the length of the reinforcement materials and the change of the slope height was analyzed. As the result, the reinforcement effect was insignificant at no more than 0.6 of L/H, the reinforcement length ratio when the reinforcement length was increased, as the increase of the safety factor was slow comparing with the non-reinforced slope. At 3.0m of the slope height, reinforcement on the slope is not necessary, and at 3.0m to 5.0m of the slope height, the inclination was not influencing at no less than 0.6 of L/H. At 5.0m to 9.0m of the slope height, the safety factor was mostly secured on the slope at 0.8 of L/H and the over-reinforced slope appeared at no less than 1.0 of L/H. Also, the safety factor increased as the slope height increases and the slope gets steeper till 0.8 of L/H, but the slope steepness affects more on the increase of the safety factor than the reinforcement material, as the reinforcing force by the reinforcement material became steady.

본 연구에서는 철탑의 기초로 사용이 증가되고 있는 현장타설말뚝의 크기를 줄이기 위한 방안으로 말뚝주면에 가시모양의 보강재를 타설.정착시켜 지지력을 증가하는 보강형 현장타설말뚝에 대한 수치해석적 연구를 수행하였다. 보강재에 의한 지지력 증가효과의 크기를 정량적, 정성적으로 알아보기 위해 풍화토, 풍화암, 연암지반 등 국내의 대표적 지반을 대상으로 보강재의 단수, 경사 및 위치 등을 변화시켜 해석을 실시하였다. 보강재 단수변화의 경우, 풍화암과 연암지반에서는 단수증가에 따라 비례적으로 보강효과가 증가하였지만 풍화토의 경우 단수의 증가에 따라 보강효과 증가율이 작아지는 결과가 나타났다. 위치변화의 경우, 수평하중재하시 보강재가 상단에 위치한 경우가 하중을 직접적으로 지지하기 때문에 가장 보강효과가 좋은 것으로 나타났지만 압축, 인장하중의 경우 큰 차이가 나타나지 않았다. 경사변화의 경우, 연직하중일 때는 보강재 전 길이에 걸쳐 축력이 최대로 발휘되는 60$^{\circ}$의 경사일 때 보강효과가 가장 크게 나타났다. 하지만 수평하중일 때는 하중재하 방향과 일치하는 0$^{\circ}$에서 보강효과가 전반적으로 좋게 나타났다.

본 논문에서는 고강도 강관을 이용한 강관 보강 그라우팅의 보강 효과 검증을 통해 현장 적용성에 관한 실험적 내용을 다루었다. 기존 강관보강 그라우팅 공법에는 SGT275 (구 STK400) 강관을 일반적으로 적용하고 있으나, 강관 보강 그라우팅이 적용된 터널의 붕락사례를 보면 강관의 과도한 꺾임, 파단 등의 사례가 발생되고 있다. 이러한 사례가 발생하는 여러 원인 중 굴착에 따른 터널의 이완하중에 대응하는 강관의 강성 부족이 그 원인이 될 수 있다. 최근 들어 고강도 강관(SGT550)의 개발로 강관의 강도가 증가했으나, 강도 증대를 고려한 보강방안에 대한 연구가 미흡하므로 이에 대한 연구가 필요한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 고강도 강관과 일반 강관의 이음 유무, 주입재의 충전 여부 등 다양한 조건에 대해 인장강도 및 휨 전단력 실험을 수행하고, 기존 제시된 설계법을 통해 강관의 강도 차이에 따른 효율적인 현장 적용성에 대한 기초 연구를 수행하였다. 특히, 실제 현장에 고강도 강관과 일반 강관을 시공하고 굴착에 따른 강관의 변위형상과 응력에 대한 계측 결과를 통해 고강도 강관의 보강 효과를 검증하였다. 연구결과 고강도 강관은 휨 강도가 우수하여 보강효과가 우수한 것으로 나타났으며, 강도 증진효과로 인해 아칭효과도 기대된다.

콘크리트 구조물은 재료의 열화나 초과된 하중 및 환경적 요인에 의해 점차 노후화 되며 그 성능이 감소하여 구조물의 사용성 및 안전성에 영향을 미치게 된다. 노후 교량의 보강 공법 중 외부긴장 공법이 널리 사용 중이지만, 노후도에 따른 보강 효과 및 영향 규명은 미흡한 실정이다. 따라서 이 연구에서는 구조물의 노후도를 콘크리트 압축강도 및 인장철근량의 감소로 가정하고 노후도에 따른 외부긴장 공법의 보강 효과를 확인하기 위해 무보강 및 외부긴장 공법을 적용한 실험체의 4점 재하실험을 수행하여 보강 여부에 따른 거동을 분석하고 보강 효과를 확인하였다. 실험 결과 정착구의 조기 탈락에 따른 극한 상태의 보강량을 확인하기 어려웠으며, 이에 따라 외부긴장 보강 공법의 적용 시 앵커 볼트에 관한 규정 준수가 필요하다. 외부긴장 보강 여부에 따라 균열하중 및 항복하중이 증가하였으나, 균열 이전에는 보강 전, 후의 강성이 유사하여 보강 효과를 확인하긴 어려웠다.
