Existing tests results have shown that confining the concrete compression region with closed stirrups improves the ductility and load-carrying capacity of beams. However, only few researchers have attempted to utilize the beneficial effects of the presence of these stirrups in design. This paper presents the result of experimental studies on the load-deflection behavior and the strengthening effect of laterally confined structural high-strength concrete beam members in which confinement stirrups have been introduced into the compression regions. Fifteen tests were conducted on full-scale beam specimens having concrete compressive strength of 41 MPa and 61 MPa. Different spacing of stirrups(0.25∼1.0d) and amount of tension steel($0.55{\sim}0.7{\rho}_b$) as major variables were investigated. And also, this study present an appropriate shear equation for decision of ultimate failure modes of high-strength concrete beams according to stirrup spacing. The equation is based on interaction between shear strength and displacement ductility. Prediction of failure mode from presented method and comparison with test results are also presenteded

The present study evaluated the effective arrangement approach of transverse reinforcement in the jacket section for seismic strengthening of reinforced concrete columns. To simulate the full-scale columns, the section dimensions were determined as $450{\times}450mm$ for non-seismic existing columns and $750{\times}750mm$ for section enlargement strengthening columns. Over-lapped channel-shape bars and prefabricated bar units were proposed for closed-hoops in the jacket section, and conventional cross-ties anchored into existing columns and V-ties were considered for the supplementary ties. Test results showed that the axial capacity of the existing column and section enlargement columns with over-lapped channel-shape hoops was similar to the nominal strength calculated using ACI 318-14 procedure whereas the section enlargement column with prefabricated bar units possessed 1.25 times higher axial capacity than the nominal prediction. Furthermore, the axial ductility ratio of the section enlargement column with prefabricated bar unit was 139% higher than that of the existing column despite the potential size effect on ductility of concrete. Thus, it can be concluded that the developed prefabricated bar unit technique is practically useful for preventing the premature buckling of longitudinal reinforcement and confining core concrete in the section enlargement strengthening columns.

본 연구는 $SF_6$와 Dry-air(건조공기), $N_2$, $CO_2$ 가스가 혼합된 절연매체의 절연 특성과 부분방전 특성 연구를 기초실험용 쳄버와 70kV급 GIS mock up을 이용하여 교류전압을 인가하여 실험이 수행되었다. 전자의 경우, Sphere gap 및 Needle/Plate 전극시스템을 이용하여 순수 $SF_6$가스와 Dry-air, $N_2$, $CO_2$ 가스들의 절연내력을 비교하고, 챔버의 압력을 5기압으로 유지한 상태에서 Dry-air, $N_2$, $CO_2$와 $SF_6$가스의 혼합비를 변화시키면서 절연내력이 측정되었다. 후자의 경우, 기초실험에서 도출된 $SF_6$가스와 Dry-air, $N_2$, $CO_2$의 최적의 혼합비율을 선택한 후, 방전 개시전압과 부분방전 양상을 순수 $SF_6$가스의 결과와 비교분석하기 위한 실험을 수행하였다. 이를 위하여 GIS 사고의 주요원인이 되는 결함들, 즉 Protrusion, Floating, Free moving particle 들을 인위적으로 모의하여 Mock up 내부에 설치하고 내부 압력을 5기압으로 유지한 상태에서 수행되었다. 전자의 경우, $0.5{\sim}5$ 기압 범위 내에서 Dry-air, $N_2$, $CO_2$ 압력을 변화시켰을 때 절연내력은 전극시스템에 무관하게 순수 $SF_6$가스의 결과치의 Dir-air $47{\sim}51%$, $N_2\;48{\sim}61%$, $CO_2\;47{\sim}60%$ 정도이다. 또한 챔버 압력이 5기압인 상태에서 Dry-air, $N_2$, $CO_2$가 80% 혼합된 절연매체는 순수 $SF_6$가스 절연내력의 80%이상의 절연내력을 가지고 있다. 후자의 경우, 인가전압을 고정 시켰을 때, 부분방전 패턴과 방전크기는, 순수 $SF_6$가스와 Dry-air 가 80% 혼합된 절연매체는 동일한 패턴과 방전크기를 나타내고 있다. 이러한 결과를 근거로, 가스 압력이 5기압에서 운전되는 전력기기의 절연매체로서 혼합가스를 사용할 경우, $SF_6$가스와 Dry-air, $CO_2$, $N_2$ 가스들의 혼합비는 2:8정도가 적절한 것으로 제안한다.

This paper presents the results of an experiment comparing the current circular CFT columns and circular CFT columns that were additionally confined by carbon fiber sheets (CFS) under axial loading. The main experimental parameters are the numbers of CFS layers and the diameter-to-thickness ratio. 10 specimens were prepared according to the experimental parameter plans, and axial compression tests were conducted. From the tests, the failure procedure, load-axial deformation curve, maximum axial strength, and deformation capacity of the CFT columns and confined CFT columns were compared. The test results showed that the maximum axial strengths of CFT columns additionally confined by CFS are increased higher than those of the current CFT columns, and that local buckling can be delayed due to the confinement effect of CFS.

The objective of this study is to investigate the criteria of the width-to-thickness ratio and to evaluate the buckling strength of high strength steel beam-columns and to compare their buckling strength with design codes, which are the Limit State Design code and the Allowable Stress Desogn code(drift). SM520TMC and SM570Q class steels are used for high strength steels. The coupon test and the stub column test were carried out to investigate the properties of high strength steels and the stress-strain curves of stub columns. The buckling strength of high strength steel beam-columns are assessed by numerical analysis used axial force, moment and curvature relationships.

This study investigates the axial behavior of CFRP strengthened circular CFT columns and proposes the design formula of CFRP strengthened circular CFT columns. 10 specimens were prepared and axial loading test were conducted to investigate the retrofitting effects of CFRP composites on CFT columns. The main parameters are the number of FRP sheets and D/t ratio. Test results showed that the CFRP retrofitting enhanced the load bearing capacity of the circular CFT columns. Finally, A ACI 440 code applied ultimate axial strength formula is proposed to predict the ultimate strength of CFRP strengthened circular CFT columns. The proposed formula are good agreement with the test results.

This paper presents the experimental results of an experiment on the current rectangular CFT columns and rectangular CFT columns additionally confined by carbon fiber sheets(CFS) under axial loading. The main experimental parameters were the layer numbers of the CFS and the depth-to-thickness ratio. Nine specimens were prepared according to the experimental parameter plans, and axial compression tests were conducted. From the tests, the failure procedure, the load-axial deformation curve, the maximum axial strength, and the deformation capacity of the CFT columns and the confined CFT columns were compared. Finally, it was seen that the maximum axial strengths of the CFT increased more significantly than that of the current CFT columns because of delayed local buckling.

The experimental work was performed to investigate the effect influenced to the hystresis and the flexural strength improvement of RC beam using carbon fiber plates. Major parameters of this experimental program were the section size of carbon fiber plates and the damage level of RC beam before reinforcement. Particularly, the damage level of beam is for the cases damaged by overloads. The damage level is for 30%, 60%, and 100% of flexural strength, and no damaged beams were also tested for comparison with the damaged one. from the test results, it showed that the beams reinforced by carbon fiber plates had the higher strength and lower deformation capacity than the general beams and that it had the same ductility ratio of the general beams.

The Rehabilitation and repair of structurally deteriorated, reinforced concrete structures will be highly demanded in the near future. The purpose of this study is to investigate whether damaged beams that crack and deflection are developed by bending moment are restored to the former state. In conclusion, when specimens strengthened with Steel Plate, CFS(Carbon Fiber Sheet) and CFRP-Grid(Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic-Grid) are compared with standard specimen, flexural capacity is increased and ductility and energy absorbtion capacity are similar with undamaged specimen. Therefore Steel Plate, CFS(Carbon Fiber Sheet) and CFRP-Grid (Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic-Grid) have highly efficiency as material of flexural strengthening.

From the result of this research above, it may be summed up as follows. As a summary of results from each experiment, as the test body reinforced with the carbon rods was embedded inside the concrete section and made it possible uniform movement, this study has shown that it had excellent characteristics in improving the flexural strength and ductility. Also, it was considered as the carbon-steel sheet composite plate was to exert the strength more if it would complement the adherence with the concrete.
