With the increasing use of concrete-filled steel tubes (CFST) as structural members, there is a growing need to provide suitable measures for possible strengthening or repair of these kinds of structural elements. Fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) jacketing is a recent method and is particularly attractive in which it does not significantly increase the section size, and is relatively easy to install. Thus, it can be used to enhance strength and/or ductility of CFST members. Very little information is available on the performance of FRP-strengthened CFST members under fire conditions. This paper is an attempt to study the fire performance of CFST columns strengthened by FRP. The results of fire endurance tests on FRP-strengthened circular CFST columns are presented. Failure modes of the specimens after exposure to fire, temperatures in the cross section, axial deformation and fire resistance of the composite columns are analysed. It is demonstrated that the required fire endurance can be achieved if the strengthened composite columns are appropriately designed.

This paper aims to investigate the seismic performance of the prestressed steel strips retrofitted RC beam-column joints. Two series of joint specimens were conducted under compression load and reversed cyclic loading through quasi-static tests. Based on the test results, the seismic behavior of the strengthened joints specimens in terms of the failure modes, hysteresis response, bearing capacity, ductility, stiffness degradation, energy dissipation performance and damage level were focused. Moreover, the effects of the amount of the prestressed steel strips and the axial compression ratio on seismic performance of retrofitted specimens were analyzed. It was shown that the prestressed steel strips retrofitting method could significantly improve the seismic behavior of the RC joint because of the large confinement provided by prestressed steel strips in beam-column joints. The decrease of the spacing and the increase of the layer number of the prestressed steel strips could result in a better seismic performance of the retrofitted joint specimens. Moreover, increasing the axial compression ration could enhance the peak load, stiffness and the energy performance of the joint specimens. Furthermore, by comparison with the specimens reinforced with CFRP sheets, the specimens reinforced with prestressed steel strips was slightly better in seismic performance and cost-saving in material and labor. Therefore, this prestressed steel strips retrofitting method is quite helpful to enhance the seismic behavior of the RC beam-column joints with reducing the cost and engineering time.

This paper is the study on dry sliding wear behavior of carbon fiber reinforced epoxy matrix composites against lay-up orientation. Tests were investigated on the effect of the lay-up orientation, fiber sliding direction, load and sliding velocity when circumstance keep continuously at $21^{\circ}C$, 60%RH. Pin-on-disk dry sliding wear tests for each experimental condition were carried out with a carbon fiber reinforced plastic pin on stainless steel disk in order to search the friction and wear characteristics. The wear rates and friction coefficients against the stainless steel counterpart were experimentally determined and the wear mechanisms were microscopically observed. The effect on friction and wear behavior are observed differently, according to various conditions. When sliding took place against counterpart, the highest wear resistance and the lowest friction coefficient were observed in the $[0]_{24s}$ lay-up orientation at anti-parallel direction.

The corrosion of steel reinforcing bar(re-bar) has been the major cause of the reinforced concrete deterioration. FRP(Fiber-reinforced polymer) reinforcing bar has emerged as one of the most promising and affordable solutions to the corrosion problems of steel reinforcement in structural concrete. In this study, long-term durability performance of FRP re-bar were evaluated. The mechanical and durability properties of two type of CFRP- and GFRP re-bar were investigated; the FRP re-bars were subjected to alkaline solution, acid solution, salt solution and deionized water. The mechanical and durability properties were investigated by performing tensile and short beam tests. Experimental results confirmed the desirable resistance of FRP re-bar to aggressive chemical environment.

Any revision of seismic codes usually demands a higher capacity from structural members, making existing structures unsafe particularly from strength considerations. Retrofitting of capacity deficient members is very suitable for tackling such situations. This paper presents an experimental study on different retrofitting measures adopted for strengthening a series of reinforced concrete (RC) beams. Four identical RC beam specimens were casted, out of which three specimens were strengthened by different schemes (viz., bolted hot rolled flat, bolted cold-formed steel channel, and carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) laminate, respectively) on their tension face and tested under four-point monotonic loading. This study focuses on the investigation of the flexural behaviour of these retrofitted beams, observed in terms of strength and stiffness. It was concluded that all retrofitting measures improved the structural performance of these beams. However, the cost involved with each strengthening mode was proportional to the improvement in the performance achieved.

최근 국내 철도 관련 기관에서 고속집전용 판토그래프를 개발하고 있으며, 이는 상부암의 경량화를 위하여 기존의 강재(Steel) 대신에 CFRP(Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastics)와 알루미늄의 혼성구조체를 적용한 구조를 갖는다. KTX-산천 열차의 경우, 한 대의 판토그래프를 통해서 열차에 필요한 모든 전력을 공급해야 하는 동력집중식이므로 판토그래프는 큰 통전 용량을 가져야 한다. 하지만, 알루미늄 파이프의 열적 특성 분석 없이 통전 용량을 증대시키기 위하여 파이프의 두께를 임의로 증가시키게 되면 상부암의 무게 증가로 집전성능의 저화를 초래할 수 있다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 KTX-산천 열차의 정지 상태에서 수전 시 판토그래프 상부암 혼성구조체를 이루는 알루미늄 파이프의 시간 경과에 따른 온도 특성 변화를 열해석을 통하여 분석하고, 제시된 판토그래프 통전 용량에 부합되는 알루미늄 파이프의 최소 두께의 적정성을 검토하고자 한다.

최근 사용되고 있은 구조물의 보강 방법 중 내력 및 사용성 향상효과가 타 공법에 비해 월등한 외부 긴장공법이 많이 사용되고 있다. 그러나 외부 긴장재로 보강된 구조물에 대하여 반복하중에 의한 피로 성능에 대한 평가가 부족하고 이에 대한 연구도 매우 부족한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 FRP 긴장재로 외부 보강된 철근콘크리트 보의 반복하중에 따른 피로거동 특성을 분석함으로써 외부 긴장공법의 안전성 및 타당성을 평가하고자 하였다. 본 실험연구에서는 비교 변수로 외부 긴장재의 종류(FRP 긴장재, Steel 긴장재)와 하중범위를 채택하여 실험을 실시하였다. 하중은 FRP 보강 시험체의 항복강도를 기준으로 최소하중을 50%로 삼고 최대하중을 70~85%로 변경하여 4점 재하방식으로 sine파를 이용하여 3Hz의 주기로 실험을 실시하였다. FRP 긴장재로 외부 보강된 철근콘크리트 보에 대한 피로 실험연구 결과로부터 FRP 외부 긴장 공법은 FRP 긴장재, deviator에서의 절곡부, 정착장치 등에서 피로에 대한 충분한 안전성이 확인되었다.

A numerical study has been carried out to simulate an innovative monitoring procedure to detect and localize damage in reinforced concrete beams retrofitted with carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) unidirectional laminates. The main novelty of the present simulation is its ability to conduct the electromechanical admittance monitoring technique by considerably compressing the amount of data required for damage detection and localization. A FEM simulation of electromechanical admittance-based sensing technique was employed by applying lead zirconate titanate (PZT) transducers to acquire impedance spectrum signatures. Response surface methodology (RSM) is finally adopted as a tool for solving inverse problems to estimate the location and size of damaged areas from the relationship between damage and electromechanical admittance changes computed at PZT transducer surfaces. This statistical metamodel technique allows polynomial models to be produced without requiring complicated modeling or numerous data sets after the generation of damage, leading to considerably lower cost of creating diagnostic database. Finally, a numerical example is carried out regarding a steel-reinforced concrete (RC) beam model monotonically loaded up to its failure which is also retrofitted by a CFRP laminate to verify the validity of the present metamodeling monitoring technique. The load-carrying capacity of concrete is predicted in the present paper by utilizing an Ottosen-type failure surface in order to better take into account the passive confinement behavior of retrofitted concrete material under the application of FRP laminate.

복합섬유(Fiber Reinforced Polymers)가 외부 부착된 철근콘크리트 보에 관한 연구는 국내 및 세계 여러나라에서 활발히 진행되고 있으나 장기 거동에 관한 연구는 많이 미흡한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 현재 국내에서 많이 사용되고 있는 탄소섬유(Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymers)와 유리섬유(Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymers)를 철근 콘크리트 보에 외부 부착시킨 후 300일간 지속하중하에서 철근의 변형률, FRP의 변형률을 측정함으로써 FRP 보강 실험체의 시간의존적 거동을 파악하였다. 또한, Adjusted Effective Modulus Method, (AEMM)과 Ghali and Farve의 방법을 사용하여 시간경과에 따른 크리프와 건조수축에 의한 응력과 변형률의 변화를 예측하였다. 실험결과, RC보의 휨 보강 측면으로 보았을 때, CFRP가 GFRP보다 장기거동에 있어 우수한 성능을 보이는 것으로 나타났으며, 이론 식으로 산정된 값은 무보강 실험체의 철근 변형률의 경우 비교적 유사하게 예측하고 있으나 FRP로 보강된 실험체들의 인장철근은 다소 과대평가하는 결과를, 압축철근은 과소평가하는 결과를 나타냈다.
