A new composite reinforced method, namely self-compacting concrete filled circular CFRP-steel jacketing, was proposed in this paper. Experimental tests on eight RC square short columns reinforced with the new composite reinforced method and four RC square short columns reinforced with CFS jackets were conducted to investigate their eccentrically compressive behaviour. Nine reinforced columns were subjected to eccentrically compressive loading, while three reinforced columns were subjected to axial compressive loading as reference. The parameters investigated herein were the eccentricity of the compressive loading and the layer of CFRP. Subsequently, the failure mode, ultimate load, deformation and strain of these reinforced columns were discussed. Their failure modes included the excessive bending deformation, serious buckling of steel jackets, crush of concrete and fracture of CFRP. Moreover, these reinforced columns exhibited a ductile failure globally. Both the eccentricity of the compressive loading and the layer of CFRP had a significant effect on the eccentrically compressive behaviour of reinforced columns. Finally, formulae for the evaluation of the ultimate load of reinforced columns were proposed. The theoretical formulae based on the ultimate equilibrium theory provided an effective, acceptable and safe method for designers to calculate the ultimate load of reinforced columns under eccentrically compressive loading.

This study presents the experimental results performed to evaluate the effects of Polyvinyl-alcohol (PVA) and Polypropylene (PP) fibers on the fresh and residual mechanical properties of the hybrid fiber reinforced SCC before and after the exposure of 250℃, 500℃ and 750℃ temperatures. The compressive and splitting tensile strength, modulus of rupture (MOR), ultrasonic pulse velocity (UPV) as well as toughness and weight loss were investigated at different temperatures. PVA and PP fibers were added into SCC mixtures having only macro steel fiber and also having binary hybridization of both macro and micro steel fiber. The results showed that the use of micro steel fiber replaced by macro steel fiber improved the fresh and hardened properties compared to the use of only macro steel fiber. Moreover, it was emphasized that PVA or PP enhanced the residual flexural performance of SCC, generally, while it negatively influenced the workability, weight loss, UPV and the residual strengths with regards to the use of single steel fiber and binary steel fiber hybridization. Compared to the effect of synthetic fibers, PP had slightly more positive effect in the view of workability while PVA enhanced the residual mechanical properties more.

본 연구는 보통강도(30MPa) 고유동 자기충전 콘크리트를 구조체에 적용하기 위하여 두개의 철근콘크리트 보(고유동 자기충전 콘크리트 실험체, 일반 콘크리트 실험체)를 제작하여 4점 재하실험을 수행하고, 고유동 자기충전 콘크리트와 일반 콘크리트의 휨 거동 특성을 비교 분석 하였다. 실험 결과 모든 실험체는 휨에 의해 연성적인 파괴양상을 보였다. 고유동 자기충전 콘크리트와 일반 콘크리트 실험체의 강성 및 연성은 유사한 거동을 보였으나, 고유동 자기충전 콘크리트가 일반 콘크리트에 비해 균열제어 효과가 뛰어난 것으로 나타났다. 이상의 결과로 고유동 자기충전 콘크리트는 현장 적용이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

This research aims to simulate and investigate the efficiency of strengthening damaged concrete columns using concrete jacketing.The numerical program included unjacketed reference column made of ordinary RC concrete had a cross-sectional dimension of (100×100) mm and 560 mm long reinforced concrete. These cores were damaged by loading them with approximately 60% of their actual ultimate load capacities as a service load. Then, column specimens were strengthened by applying two types of self-compacting concrete SCC jacketing, which were 25 and 30 mm thick, on all four sides. Exposed to external loads at different directions vertically and horizontally simulate to the seismic load. The 3D Finite Element (FE) simulation is used to predict of three structural criteria that were selected and evaluated (deflection, stress, cracks). The results show that the failure of the strengthening columns is interesting and corresponds to the characteristics of the cracks formed in the concrete section,which was documented numerically using 3D Finite Element (FE). A significant improvement of deflection has been noted at the values at the top SECTION of columns compared to the reference sample reaching an average of up to 36.6% when using a 25 mm thick SCC-3500 jacket.

The past earthquakes revealed the importance of the design of moment-resisting reinforced concrete framed structures with ductile behavior. Due to seismic activity, failures in framed structures are widespread in beam-column joints. Hence, the joints must be designed to possess sufficient strength and stiffness. This paper investigates the effects of fibers on the ductility of hybrid fiber reinforced self-compacting concrete (HFRSCC) when subjected to seismic actions; overcoming bottlenecks at the beam-column joints has been studied by adding low modulus sisal fiber and high modulus steel fiber. For this, the optimized dose of hooked end steel fiber content (1.5%) was kept constant, and the sisal fiber content was varied at the rate of 0.1%, up to 0.3%. The seismic performance parameters, such as load-displacement behavior, ductility, energy absorption capacity, stiffness degradation, and energy dissipation capacity, were studied. The ductility factor and the cumulative energy dissipation capacity of the hybrid fiber (steel fiber, 1.5% and sisal fiber, 0.2%) added beam-column joint specimen is 100% and 121% greater than the control specimen, respectively. And also the stiffness of the hybrid fiber reinforced specimen is 100% higher than the control specimen. Thus, the test results showed that adding hybrid fibers instead of mono fibers could significantly enhance the seismic performance parameters. Therefore, the hybrid fiber reinforced concrete with 1.5% steel and 0.2% sisal fiber can be effectively used to design structures in seismic-prone areas.

본 연구에서는 분산제 코팅을 통해 성능 개선된(EP) 나일론 섬유를 혼입한 자기충전 콘크리트의 가능성을 알아보고자 하였으며, 이를 위한 실험 방법으로 나일론 섬유 길이와 다른 유기계 섬유(폴리프로필렌, 셀룰로오스)를 혼입한 경우 그리고 광물질 혼화재(고로슬래그 미분말, 플라이애쉬)의 종류를 달리 혼합한 2성분계 및 3성분계의 경우를 가지고 자기충전 콘크리트의 특성을 검토하였다. 이 실험 결과를 토대로 하여 실구조물 적용을 위한 Mock-up Test를 성능 개선된 나일론 섬유를 혼입한 자기충전콘크리트 와 일반콘크리트를 비교하여 실구조물 활용 가능성을 검토 하였다. 그 결과 굳지 않은 자기충전 콘크리트의 특성, 경화된 자기충전 콘크리트의 특성 및 내구특성을 종합해 볼 때 성능 개선된(EP) 나일론 섬유가 우수함을 알 수 있었고, 성능 개선된 나일론 섬유에 따른 광물질 혼화재 사용에서는 플라이애쉬 보다 고로슬래그 미분말이 우수함을 알 수 있었다.
