최근 손상된 부재를 원상으로 회복하면서 보강할 수 있는 프리스트레스 보강공법에 대한 관심이 고조되고 있다. 손상된 부재를 보강하기 위한 기존의 포스트텐션공법은 구조부재에 추가적인 손상을 발생시킬 수 있으므로, 인접부재에 손상을 주지 않는 새로운 형태의 부분프리스트레스공법에 관한 개발 및 성능평가가 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 새로운 외부포스트텐션공법 중 하나인 아웃케이블 공법에 대한 구조성능을 평가하기 위해 휨 보강된 연속보에 관한 실험적 연구를 수행하였다. 그 결과, 기존 포스트텐션과 아웃케이블공법의 주요 파괴모드는 균열이 고르고 넓게 분포한 휨파괴의 형태를 나타냈다. 그리고, 초기의 휨균열 시 강성 및 철근항복 시 강성, 항복하중, 최대하중에서 유사한 거동특성을 보임으로써 두 공법에 의한 보강효과는 동일한 결과를 보였다.

Open ground story (OGS) reinforced concrete (RC) buildings are vulnerable to the complete collapse or severe damages under seismic actions. This study investigates the effectiveness of four different strengthening techniques representing the local and global modifications to improve the seismic performance of a non-ductile RC OGS frame. Steel caging and concrete jacketing methods of column strengthening are considered as the local modification techniques, whereas steel bracing and RC shear wall systems are selected as the global strengthening techniques in this study. Performance-based plastic design (PBPD) approach relying on energy-balance concept has been adopted to determine the required design force demand on the strengthening elements. Nonlinear static and dynamic analyses are carried out on the numerical models of study frames to assess the effectiveness of selected strengthening techniques in improving the seismic performance of OGS frame.. Strengthening techniques based on steel braces and RC shear wall significantly reduced the peak interstory drift response of the OGS frame. However, the peak floor acceleration of these strengthened frames is amplified by more than 2.5 times as compared to that of unstrengthened frame. Steel caging technique of column strengthening resulted in a reasonable reduction in the peak interstory drift response without substantial amplification in peak floor acceleration of the OSG frame.

Recently, micropiling techniques are increasingly applied in foundation rehabilitation/underpinning and seismic retrofitting projects where working space provides the limited access for conventional piling methods. Micropiling techniques provide environmental-friendly methods for minimizing disturbance to adjacent structures, ground, and the environment. Its installation is possible in restrictive area and general ground conditions. The cardinal features that the installation procedures cause minimal vibration and noise and require very low ceiling height make the micropiling methods to be commonly used for underpin existing structures. In the design point of view, the current practice obligates the bearing capacity of micropile to be obtained from skin friction of only rock-socketing area, in which it implies the frictional resistance of upper soil layer is ignored in the design process. In this paper, a new micropiling method and its verification studies via field installation are presented. The new method provides a specific way to grout bore-hole to increase frictional resistance between surrounding soil and pile-structure and it allows to consider the skin friction of micropiles for upper soil layer during design process.

건축물의 보수 보강 시 섬유보강 폴리머를 이용한 부착공법을 이용한 보수 보강이 행해지고 있으며, 특히 CFRP(carbon fiber reinforced polymer)는 이러한 RC 구조부재의 보강재로 널리 활용되고 있다. 그러나 외부 환경적 요인에 의해 열화되는 즉, 동결융해 환경이 RC 보에서의 CFRP 보강성능에 미치는 영향에 관한 연구는 전무한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 AE 기법을 통해 CFRP와 RC 부재 내부의 손상진전에 따라 발생하는 AE 신호를 계측함으로써 CFRP로 보강 후 동결융해에 의해 열화된 RC 구조물의 파괴기구 규명을 위한 기초자료를 마련하고자 한다.

Steel jacketing technique is a retrofitting method often employed for static and seismic strengthening of existing reinforced concrete columns. When no continuity is given to angle chords as they cross the floor, the jacket is considered "indirectly loaded", which means that the load acting on the column is transferred partially to the external jacket through interface shear stresses. The evaluation of load transfer mechanism between core and jacket is not straightforward to be modeled, due to the absence of knowledge of a proper constitutive law of the concrete-to-steel interface and to the difficulties in taking into account the mechanical nonlinearities of materials. This paper presents an incremental analytical/numerical approach for evaluating the compressive response of RC columns strengthened with indirectly loaded jackets. The approach allows calculating shear stresses at the interface between core and jacket and predicting the axial capacity of retrofitted columns. A proper constitutive law is proposed for modelling the interaction between the steel and the concrete. Based on plasticity rules and the non-linear behaviour of materials, the column is divided into portions. After a detailed parametric analysis, comparisons are finally made by theoretical predictions and experimental results available in the literature, showing a good agreement.

An external prestressed steel-bar truss unit was developed as a new strengthening technology to enhance the seismic performance of an in-plane masonry wall structure while taking advantage of the benefits of a prestressed system. The presented method consists of six steel bars: two prestressed vertical bars to introduce a prestressing force on the masonry wall, two diagonal bars to resist shear deformation, and two horizontal bars to maintain the configuration. To evaluate the effects of this new technique, four full-scale specimens, including a control specimen, were tested under combined loadings that included constant-gravity axial loads and cyclic lateral loads. The experimental results were analyzed in terms of the shear strength, initial stiffness, dissipated energy, and strain history. The efficiency of the external prestressed steel-bar truss unit was validated. In particular, a retrofitted specimen with an axial load level of 0.024 exhibited a more stable post behavior and higher energy dissipation than a control specimen with an observed complete sliding failure. The four vertical bars of the adjacent retrofitting units created a virtual column, and their strain values did not change until they reached the peak shear strength. The shear capacity of the masonry wall structure with external prestressed steel-bar truss units could be predicted using the model suggested by Yang et al.

Strengthening of hollow structural sections using through-bolts is a cost-effective and straightforward approach. It's a versatile method that can be applied during both design and service phases, serving as a non-disruptive and budget-friendly retrofitting solution. Existing research on axially loaded hollow sections T-joints has demonstrated that this technique can amplify the joint strength by 50%, where single bolt could enhance the strength of the joint by 35%. However, there's a gap in understanding their use for K-joints. As the behavior of K-joints is more complex, and they are widely existent in structures, this study aims to bridge that gap by conducting comprehensive parametric study using finite element analysis. Numerical investigation was conducted to evaluate the effect of through bolts on K-joints focusing on using single through bolt to achieve most of the strengthening effect. A full-scale parametric model was developed to investigate the effect of various geometric parameters of the joint. This study concluded the existence of optimal bolt location to achieve the highest strength gain for the joint. Moreover, a rigorous statistical analysis was conducted on the data to propose design equations to predict optimal bolt location and the corresponding strength gain implementing the verified by finite element models.

The research investigates experimentally the effect of confinement on structural behavior at the ends of beam-column in reinforced concrete (RC) frames. In the experimental study, five specimens consisting of 1/3-scaled RC frames having single-bay, representing the traditional deficiencies of existing buildings constructed without receiving proper engineering service is investigated. The RC frame specimens were produced to represent most of the existing buildings in Turkey that have damage potential. To decrease the probable damage to the existing buildings exposed to earthquakes, the carbon Textile Reinforced Mortar (TRM) strengthening technique (fully wrapping) was used on the ends of the RC frame elements to increase the energy dissipation and deformation capacity. The specimens were tested under reversed cyclic lateral loading with constant axial loads. They were constructed satisfying the weak column-strong beam condition and consisting of low-strength concrete, such as compressive strength of 15 MPa. The test results were compared and evaluated considering stiffness, strength, energy dissipation capacity, structural damping, ductility, and damage propagation in detail. Comprehensive investigations of these experimental results reveal that the strengthening of a brittle frame with fully-TRM wrapping with non-anchored was effective in increasing the stiffness, ductility, and energy dissipation capacities of RC bare frames. It was also observed that the frame-only-retrofitting with an infill wall is not enough to increase the ductility capacity. In this case, both the frame and infill wall must be retrofitted with TRM composite to increase the stiffness, lateral load carrying, ductility and energy dissipation capacities of RC frames. The presented strengthening method can be an alternative strengthening technique to enhance the seismic performance of existing or moderately damaged RC buildings.

폭발하중을 받는 콘크리트 구조물을 섬유 복합재 등의 보강 재료를 사용하여 보강하는 경우에는 강성 증가와 함께 적절한 연성을 확보할 수 있어야 한다. 그러나, 폭발하중을 받는 구조물의 설계 및 해석에 일반적으로 사용되는 기존의 근사적이며 단순화 모델은 보강 재료에 대한 효과를 정확히 반영할 수 없을 뿐 아니라 해석 결과의 정확성 및 신뢰성에 문제가 제기되어왔다. 또한, 동적 하중에 대한 콘크리트와 철근의 응답은 정적 하중에 대한 응답과 상이하기 때문에 기존의 정적, 준정적하에서 정의된 재료물성값들을 폭발하중에 대한 응답 계산에 사용하는 것은 부적절하다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 명시적(explicit) 해석 프로그램인 LS-DYNA를 사용하여 매우 빠른 재하속도를 갖는 폭발하중에 대하여 강도 증진 및 변형률 속도 효과가 반영된 재료 모델을 포함하고 있는 정밀 HFPB(high fidelity physics based) 유한요소해석 기법을 제시하였다. 제시된 해석적 기법을 통하여 탄소섬유 복합재와 유리섬유 복합재를 사용하여 보강된 콘크리트 벽체의 폭발하중에 대한 거동을 해석하였으며, 이를 보강하지 않은 벽체의 해석 결과와 비교함으로써 보강 성능 분석을 실시하였다. 해석 결과 보강에 따른 최대 처짐이 약 $26{\sim}28%$ 감소하는 보강 성능을 확인하였으며, 제안된 해석 기법이 보강 재료와 보강 기법의 유효성을 평가하는데 효과적으로 적용할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

최근 빈번하게 발생하는 대규모의 지진으로 구조물의 내진보강에 관심이 높아지고 있다. 내진설계가 반영되지 않은 기둥의 취성파괴는 구조물 전체 붕괴를 유발하기 때문에 내진보강이 필수적이다. 기존에는 단면증설법, 강판보강법, 섬유보강법이 내진보강법으로 주로 이용되었다. 하지만 이 보강법들은 구조물의 물리적 손상과 넓은 작업공간, 오랜 시간이 소요되는 단점이 있다. 이에 이 연구에서는 기존에 개발된 FRP 보강재의 보강 성능을 평가하였다. 대상 시험체는 학교건물을 실험실 여건에 맞춰 80% 축소하여 제작하였다. 보강재의 재료를 유리섬유와 알루미늄 다공판을 사용하여 보강재를 제작하였다. 평가 결과 두 종류의 보강재를 사용한 모두에서 시험체의 내진성능이 증가하였다.
