In this paper, the flexural capacity equation of FRP-bar reinforced concrete beams was verified by comparing the experimental results and flexural capacity obtained according to the ACI procedure. And, also the economic feasibility of FRP-bar reinforced concrete beams was analyzed by comparing nominal moment capacity of beams. The results of analysis were as follows, 1) GFRP concrete beams have lower flexural performance than reinforced concrete beams, whereas CFRP concrete beams have similar flexural performance to reinforced concrete beams under the same reinforcement ratio 2) Although the design moment increased as the compressive strength of concrete increased, the flexural performance of GFRP reinforced concrete beams was found to be lower than the reinforced concrete beams for all reinforcement ratios.

Recently, the occurrence frequency of earthquake has increased in Korea, and the interests for seismic reinforcement of existing school buildings have been raised. To this end, the seismic performance evaluations for school buildings that did not accomplish the seismic design are required. In particular, this study checks the eigenvalue analysis, pushover curves, maximum base shears, performance points and story drift ratios, and then analyzes the seismic performance characteristics according to bracing configuration of steel frame system reinforcement. Also, this study presents the practical field application methods through the comparison of analysis results for the seismic performance characteristics.

To evaluate the strength of square reinforced concrete shot columns, thirty specimens were manufactured and tested under monotonically increasing concentric compression. The test parameters included the volumetric ratio of transverse reinforcement($\rho$h = 0.49~2.65), and concrete compressive strength (234, 437, 704 kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$). Test results are shown that : (1) Behavior of high -strength concrete column is improved by providing increased volumetric ratio; and (2) ACI, Eq. is not proper to evaluate HSC short column strength.

ACI 318-99 predicts the torsional moment of reinforced concrete members by assuming that the angle of diagonal compressive concrete is equal to 45 degree. However, this angle depends on the difference of longitudinal and transverse steel ratios. This paper compares the torsional moments calculated by ACI 318-99 code and a truss model considering compatibility of strains. The comparison indicated that the torsion equation in ACI code underestimated the real torsional moment of reinforced concrete beam in which the ratio of longitudinal reinforcement was larger than that of transverse reinforcement.

본 연구는 고축력과 반복횡력을 받는 초고강도 RC 띠철근 기둥의 실험적 연구를 수행하였다. 콘크리트 압축강도 100 MPa 초고강도 RC 띠철근 기둥의 횡보강근의 양을 제안하는 것이다. 철근콘크리트 구조물의 실제 보를 스터브로 이상화한 1/2개 층의 기둥 실험체를 계획하여 1/3 크기의 19개 실험체를 제작하였다. 주요 변수는 축력비, 횡보강근의 형상 및 체적비로 하였다. 실험 결과, 띠철근 기둥의 강도와 연성은 횡보강근의 형상과 체적비의 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났으나, 무엇보다 축력비에 가장 큰 영향을 받는 것으로 나타나 초고강도 콘크리트 기둥의 횡보강근량 설계를 위해서는 축력비에 따른 적절한 횡보강근의 형상으로 보다 합리적인 설계가 이루어져야 할 것으로 판단된다. 또한, 초고강도 철근콘크리트 기둥의 충분한 연성확보를 위하여 최소한의 변위연성능력 4이상을 확보할 수 있도록 설계식을 제안하였다. 따라서 이는 축력비와 함께 횡보강근의 형상, 간격 및 주근의 개수 등을 고려한 유효횡구속감소계수 (${\lambda}^c$)를 적용한 것이므로 횡보강근량 산정시 보다 합리적일 것으로 판단된다.

This paper presents the seismic behaviors and restoring force model of ring beam joints of steel tube-reinforced concrete column structure under cyclic loading. First, the main failure mode, ultimate bearing capacity, stiffness degradation and energy dissipation capacity are studied. Then, the effects of concrete grade, steel grade, reinforcement ratio and radius-to-width ratios are discussed. Finally, the restoring force model is proposed. Results show that the ring beam joints of steel tube-reinforced concrete column structure performs good seismic performances. With concrete grade increasing, the ultimate bearing capacity and energy dissipation capacity increase, while the stiffness degradation rates increases slightly. When the radius-width ratio is 2, with reinforcement ratio increasing, the ultimate bearing capacity decreases. However, when the radius-to-width ratios are 3, with reinforcement ratio increasing, the ultimate bearing capacity increases. With radius-to-width ratios increasing, the ultimate bearing capacity decreases slightly and the stiffness degradation rate increases, but the energy dissipation capacity increases slightly.

Due to the fast development of constructions in recent years, there has been a rapid consumption of fresh water and river sand. In the production of concrete, alternatives such as sea water and sea sand are available. The near surface mounted (NSM) technique is one of the most important methods of strengthening. Aluminum alloy (AA) bars are non-rusting and suitable for usage with sea water and sand concrete (SSC). The goal of this study was to enhance the shear behaviour of SSC-beams strengthened with NSM AA bars. Twenty-four RC beams were cast from fresh water river sand concrete (FRC) and SSC before being tested in four-point flexure. All beams are the same size and have the same internal reinforcement. The major factors are the concrete type (FRC or SSC), the concrete degree (C25 or C50 with compressive strength = 25 and 50 MPa, respectively), the presence of AA bars for strengthening, the direction of AA bar reinforcement (vertical or diagonal), and the AA bar ratio (0, 0.5, 1, 1.25 and 2 %). The beams' failure mechanism, load-displacement response, ultimate capacity, and ductility were investigated. Maximum load and ductility of C25-FRC-specimens with vertical and diagonal AA bar ratios (1%) were 100,174 % and 140, 205.5 % greater, respectively, than a matching control specimen. The ultimate load and ductility of all SSC-beams were 16-28 % and 11.3-87 % greater, respectively, for different AA bar methods than that of FRC-beams. The ultimate load and ductility of C25-SSC-beams vertically strengthened with AA bar ratios were 66.7-172.7 % and 89.6-267.9 % higher than the unstrengthened beam, respectively. When compared to unstrengthened beams, the ultimate load and ductility of C50-SSC-beams vertically reinforced with AA bar ratios rose by 50-120 % and 45.4-336.1 %, respectively. National code proposed formulae were utilized to determine the theoretical load of tested beams and compared to matching experimental results. The predicted theoretical loads were found to be close to the experimental values.

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.

This study utilized small-scale physical model tests to investigate the impact of different types of geosynthetics, including geocell, planar geotextile, and wraparound geotextile, on the behaviour of strip footings placed on 0.8 m thick soil fills and backfills with a slope angle of 70°. Bearing capacity and settlement of the footing and failure mechanisms are discussed and evaluated. The results revealed that the bearing capacity of footings situated on both unreinforced and reinforced slopes increased with a greater embedment depth of the footing. For settlement ratios below 4%, the geocell reinforcement exhibited significantly higher stiffness, carrying greater loads and experiencing less settlement compared to the planar and wraparound geotextile reinforcements. However, the performance of geocell reinforcement was influenced by the number and length of the geocell layers. Increasing the geocell back length ratio from 0.44 to 0.84 significantly improved the bearing capacity of the footing located at the crest of the reinforced slope. Adequate reinforcement length, particularly for geocell, enhanced the bearing pressure of the footing and increased the stiffness of the slope, resulting in reduced deflections. Increasing the length of reinforcement also led to improved performance of the footing located on wraparound geotextile reinforced slopes. In all reinforcement cases, reducing the vertical spacing between reinforcement layers from 100 mm to 75 mm allowed the slope to withstand much greater loads.

스카프 접착 조인트를 마이크로 볼트로 보강하였을 때, 볼트의 보강효과를 얻을 수 있는지를 시험으로 연구하였다. 스카프 형상에 따른 조인트 보강효과를 확인하기 위해 3가지 스카프비(1/10, 1/20, 1/30)를 고려하였다. 접착면적에 따른 핀의 밀도를 동일하게 유지하기 위해, 1/10, 1/20, 1/30 스카프비를 가지는 조인트에 각각 16, 32, 48개의 볼트를 보강하였다. 기준값을 획득하기 위해 접착제로만 체결된 조인트와 마이크로 볼트만 사용한 조인트에 대한 시험도 수행하였다. 시험 결과 접착제만 적용한 경우, 각 스카프비(1/10, 1/20, 1/30)에 따른 파손하중은 29.7, 39.6, 44.8 kN로 나타났다. 마이크로 볼트로 보강한 경우 파손하중은 스카프비에 따라 각각 28.4, 37.2, 40.1 kN으로 나타났는데, 순수 접착 조인트 파손하중의 96, 94, 90%에 해당한다. 마이크로 볼트만 사용한 경우, 파손하중은 접착 조인트 인장강도의 13-25%에 불과하였다. 스카프비 1/10 조인트의 피로시험 결과 접착제와 볼트를 동시에 사용한 하이브리드 조인트의 피로강도가 접착제만 사용한 경우의 피로강도보다 증가하였지만, 증가율은 2-3%로 미미하였다. 본 연구를 통해 박리응력이 파손의 주원인이 되는 구조물에서와 달리, 전단응력이 파손의 주원인이 되는 스카프 조인트의 경우 마이크로 볼트의 보강효과는 나타나지 않는 것을 확인하였다.
