The present study aims to investigate the ultimate strength and geometric nonlinear behavior of composite plates containing initial imperfection subjected to combined end-shortening strain and lateral pressure loading by using a semi-analytical method. In this study, the first order shear deformation plate theory is considered with the assumption of large deflections. Regarding in-plane boundary conditions, two adjacent edges of the laminates are completely held while the two others can move straightly. The formulations are based on the concept of the principle of minimum potential energy and Newton-Raphson technique is employed to solve the nonlinear set of algebraic equations. In addition, Hashin failure criteria are selected to predict the failures. Further, two distinct models are assumed to reduce the mechanical properties of the failure location, complete ply degradation model, and ply region degradation model. Degrading the material properties is assumed to be instantaneous. Finally, laminates having a wide range of thicknesses and initial geometric imperfections with different intensities of pressure load are analyzed and discuss how the ultimate strength of the plates changes.

Steel-concrete composite beam with profiled steel sheet has gained its popularity in the last two decades. Due to the ageing of these structures, retrofitting in terms of flexural strength is necessary to ensure that the aged structures can carry the increased traffic load throughout their design life. The steel ribs, which presented in the profiled steel deck, limit the use of shear connectors. This leads to a poor degree of composite action between the concrete slab and steel beam compared to the solid slab situation. As a result, the shear connectors that connects the slab and beam will be subjected to higher shear stress which may also require strengthening to increase the load carrying capacity of an existing composite structure. While most of the available studies focus on the strengthening of longitudinal shear and flexural strength separately, the present work investigates the effect of both flexural and longitudinal shear strengthening of steel-concrete composite beam with composite slab in terms of failure modes, ultimate load carrying capacity, ductility, end-slip, strain profile and interface differential strain. The flexural strengthening was conducted using carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) or steel plate on the soffit of the steel I-beam, while longitudinal shear capacity was enhanced using post-installed high strength bolts. Moreover, a combination of both the longitudinal shear and flexural strengthening techniques was also implemented (hybrid strengthening). It is concluded that hybrid strengthening improved the ultimate load carrying capacity and reduce slip and interface differential strain that lead to improved composite action. However, hybrid strengthening resulted in brittle failure mode that decreased ductility of the beam.

국내에서는 교량의 공용수명 증가로 노후화 교량의 수가 급격히 증가하고 있다. 강교량의 경우, 가설위치에 따른 대기부식환경에 따라 구조부재에서의 국부 부식손상이 발생 될 수 있다. 특히 강거더 교량의 경우 부식손상이 복부판과 지점부 보강재에 집중적으로 발생된다. 복부판의 국부부식이 교량에 대하여 대칭적으로 발생하는 것이 아니므로 복부판의 국부 부식손상으로 인하여 강거더에서는 전단하중에 대하여 비대칭 복부단면이 발생할 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 유한요소해석을 통하여 강거더 비대칭 부식 복부단면의 형상비와 부식손상 정도에 따른 전단 좌굴강도 및 전단거동을 거동을 평가하였다. 또한 복부판의 부식손상 부피비와 인장영역에 대한 부식손상비를 고려하여 비대칭 국부 부식손상 단면을 가진 복부판의 전단좌굴강도 감소가 비교 평가되었다.

This paper investigated the properties of flexural behavior of composite beams (end-Reinforced concrete, center-Steel concrete) according to attaching length of main bars to flange, shear reinforcing length for different types of structure. In the preceding study, structural properties of composite beams were investigated according to shear span to depth ratio, attaching method of main bars and shear reinforcing method. Based on these results, a series of experiments was carried out according to attaching length of main bar ＆ reinforcing length for different types of structure. Consequently, as attaching length of main bar and shear reinforcing length increased, composite beams represented higher strength, ductility index and stress mechanism distributed in connection zone of different types of structure.

본 연구에서는 콘크리트에 표면매입된 FRP판의 부착거동에서, 전단키와 연단거리의 효과를 관찰하기 위한 부착시험을 실시하였다. 실험에서의 주요변수는 전단키의 위치, 형태 그리고 연단길이이다. 규격 $3.6mm{\times}16mm$의 FRP를 $400mm{\times}200(300)mm{\times}400mm$ 규격의 콘크리트 블록에 매입하고 에폭시로 고정시켜서 실험변수에 따라 총 10개의 부착실험체를 제작하였다. FRP의 연단에 인장력을 가한 뒤 파괴시까지 실험을 실시하고 하중을 기록하였으며, 미끄러짐과 FRP의 인장변형량을 기록하였다. 실험으로부터, 전단키의 위치는 가력부에서 멀리 떨어질수록 전단강도가 상승하는 것으로 나타났으며, 전단키의 직경이 커질수록 내력이 저하되는 것으로 나타났다. 특히 전단키가 일정 이상의 규격이 되면 전단키가 없는 경우에 비하여 내력이 저하되어 오히려 부착강도에 부정적인 영향을 미칠 수 있는 것으로 나타났다. NSM FRP에서 응력장용방향의 연단거리가 길어짐에 따라 동일 부착길이임에도 불구하고 내력이 일부 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 표면매입 보강된 FRP의 부착실험에서, FRP와 콘크리트사이의 부착-미끄러짐은 전체거동을 지배하는 것으로 나타나므로 이에 따른 과도한 미끄러짐은 설계에 반드시 고려될 필요가 있다.

Repairing and strengthening structural members by bonding composite materials have received a considerable attention in recent years. The major problem when using bonded FRP or steel plates to strengthen existing structures is the high interfacial stresses that may be built up near the plate ends which lead to premature failure of the structure. As a result, many researchers have developed several analytical methods to predict the interface performance of bonded repairs under various types of loading. In this paper, a numerical solution using finite - difference method (FDM) is used to calculate the interfacial stress distribution in beams strengthened with FRP plate having a tapered ends under thermal loading. Different thinning profiles are investigated since the later can significantly reduce the stress concentration. In the present theoretical analysis, the adherend shear deformations are taken into account by assuming a parabolic shear stress through the thickness of both beam and bonded plate. The shear correction factor for I-section beams is also included in the solution. Numerical results from the present analysis are presented to demonstrate the advantages of use the tapers in design of strengthened beams.

Steel box girders have two webs and two flanges on top that are usually connected with shear connectors to the concrete deck and are also known as tub girders. The end diaphragms of such bridges comprise of a stiffened steel plate welded to the inside of the girder at each end. The diaphragms play a major role in transferring vertical and lateral loads to the bearings and substructure. A review of literature shows that the cyclic behavior of diaphragms under earthquake loading has not been studied previously. This paper uses a nonlinear finite element model to study the behavior of the end diaphragms under gravity and seismic loads. Different bearing device and stiffener configurations have been considered. Affected areas of the diaphragm are distinguished.

In this paper, a novel semi-energy finite strip method (FSM) is developed based on the concept of first order shear deformation theory (FSDT) in order to attempt the post-buckling solution for thin and relatively thick functionally graded (FG) plates under uniform end-shortening. In order to study the effects of through-the-thickness shear stresses on the post-buckling behavior of FG plates, two previously developed finite strip methods, i.e., semi-energy FSM based on the concept of classical laminated plate theory (CLPT) and a CLPT full-energy FSM, are also implemented. Moreover, the effects of aspect ratio on initial post-buckling stiffness of FG rectangular plates are studied. It has been shown that the variation of the ratio of initial post-buckling stiffness to pre-buckling stiffness ($S^*/S$) with respect to aspects ratios is quite independent of volume fractions of constituents in thin FG plates. It has also been seen that the universal curve representing the variation of ($S^*/S$) with aspect ratio of a FG plate demonstrate a saw shape curve. Moreover, it is revealed that for the thin FG plates in contrast to relatively thick plates, the variations of non-dimensional load versus end-shortening is independent of ceramic-metal volume fraction index. This means that the post-buckling behavior of thin FG plates and the thin pure isotropic plates is similar. The results are discussed in detail and compared with those obtained from finite element method (FEM) of analysis. The study of the results may have a great influence in design of FG plates encountering post-buckling behavior.

An optimization method of patch shape was developed in this study, in order to improve repair of cracked plates. It aimed to minimize three objectives: stress intensity factor, patch volume and shear stresses in the adhesive film. The choice of these objectives ensures improving crack repair, gaining mass and enhancing the adhesion durability between the fractured plate and the composite patch. This was a multi-objective optimization combined with Finite elements calculations to find out the best distribution of patch height with respect to its width. The implementation of the method identified families of optimal shapes with specific geometric features around the crack tip and at the horizontal end of the patch. Considerable mass gain was achieved while improving the repair efficiency and keeping the adhesive shear stress at low levels.
