H-shaped beams, which are constructed between columns, are used widely as slaves in steel structures. The bending moments that occur on both ends of an H-shaped beam, however, are about twice the bending moment that occurs at the center of the H-shaped beam. Because such beam is designed with maximum bending moment, it is deeper and has smaller spaces. To improve these features, if both ends of an H-shaped beam that have maximum bending moments are merely reinforced, the beams could be designed by the bending moment at the center of the H-shaped beam. To analyze the structural performance of the proposed end-reinforced beams (eco-girders). Four specimens were prepared with the following parameters: end-reinforced steel plate, reinforced bars, and reinforced studs and experimental tests of the specimens were performed.

In this paper, shear performance of concrete wide beams was evaluated through shear failure tests. The specimens were designed to have two continuous spans with a column at the center of the wide beam. Also the specimens were reinforced with plates with openings as shear reinforcements. For the test, total eight specimens, including five specimens were reinforced with steel plates and the other three specimens were reinforced with GFRP plates were manufactured. And the shear strengths obtained from the tests were compared with ones from the equation provided by ACI 318. Support width of wide beam, support section of wide beam and shear reinforcement material were considered as variables. The results showed that the support width was proportional to the increase of shear strength. Also, regardless of material type of shear reinforcement, the shear reinforcing effect was similar when the amount of shear reinforcement was the same.

A theoretical study was performed to investigate the behavioral chracteristics and shear strength of fiber reinforced concrete slender beams. In the fiber reinforced concrete beam, the shear force applied to a cross section of the beam was resisted by both compressive zone and tensile zone. The shear capacity of the compressive zone was defined addressing the interaction with the normal stresses developed by the flexural moment in the cross section. The shear capacity of the tensile zone was defined addressing the post-cracking tensile strength of fiber reinforced concrete. Since the magnitude and distribution of the normal stresses vary according to the flexural deformation of the beam, the shear capacity of the beam was defined as a function of the flexural deformation of the beam. The shear strength of the beam and the location of the critical section were determined at the intersection between the shear capacity and shear demand curves. The proposed method was developed as a unified shear design method which is applicable to conventional reinforced concrete as well as fiber reinforced concrete.

감포댐은 2006년 준공하여 각종 시설 및 설비의 노후화가 진행중에 있으며, 최근 감포댐 인근 지역에서 발생한 경주지진(규모 5.8) 및 포항지진(규모 5.4)이 발생하여 지진시 시설물의 안전성에 대해 중요성이 대두되고 있었다. 이에 감포댐 안전성강화 사업을 추진하게 되었고, 주요 사업내용은 취수탑 관리교 내진보강, 댐체 심벽보강을 통한 댐체 안전성확보, 비상방류시설 개선이다. 취수탑 관리교는 교각단면의 변위연성도 및 교량받침에 의한 구조물 안전성 평가를 시행하였고, 단면강도는 모멘트-곡률해석법에서 탄성영역의 단면강도 대비 탄성지진력을 비교하여 안전성을 검토하였다. 검토결과 교량받침의 내진성능은 부족한 것으로 검토되어 유량제어형 멀티펌프와 안전잭을 이용한 변위제어 방식의 교량동시 인상공법이 가능하고 인상정밀도 ±0.5mm이내의 성능을 가진 교량인상공법 적용하여 보강을 하는 것으로 계획하였다. 댐체 심벽보강을 위해 먼저 전기비저항탐사를 수행하여 전기비저항대를 탐사하여 심벽부에서 포화대가 형성된 부위를 조사하였다. 그리고 댐 상·하류에 전극을 설치하고 전류를 발생시켜 측정 지점별 자기장을 측정을 통하여 댐체내 침투에 따른 유로 형성여부 파악을 위한 전자기장탐사를 시행하였다. 마지막으로 심벽 시추조사를 시행하여 공내수를 조사하였다. 조사결과 포화대의 위치 및 이상대가 다양한 것으로 나타났으며, 이는 불특정 지점에 연약대가 존재한다 판단하여 심벽부 보강계획을 전반적으로 적용하는 것으로 결정하였다. 비상방류시설은 최근 15년 실측자료의 홍수기(6~9월) 평균유입량을 적용하여 검토하였으며 검토결과 배제대상 높이 75%까지는 3.7일, 완전배제까지는 11.2일이 걸려 댐설계기준을 충족하는 것으로 검토되다. 다만 감포댐 비상방류시설이 하천제방과 직각방향으로 형성되어 있고, 하천의 폭이 좁아 과거 방류시에도 제방을 월류하는 것으로 조사되어 하천의 세굴을 방지하고 제방 안전성을 확보하기 위하여 비상방류시설에 감세공을 설치하고, 제방에 디플렉터 옹벽을 설치하는 것으로 계획하였다. 감세공은 2번에 걸친 감세효과로 방류시 하류바닥 및 옹벽 보호 효과가 큰 미국 USBR의 TypeVI를 적용하였으며, Flow-3D 모델링을 통하여 제방에 월류가 발생하지 않는 최적의 대안 옹벽규모를 산정하였다.

As increasing number of large-size earthquake around Korean peninsula, many interests have been focused to the earthquake strengthening of existing structures. Fiber reinforced plastic composite material is one of strengthening material widely used to increase seismic performance of structures. It should have high stiffness as well as large ductility to provide best strengthening result. Thus selection of stiffener and fiber in composite is of important. In this study, the optimal combination of fiber and stiffener is selected with variety of tensile tests. In order to investigate performance of chosen composite material, several finite element analyses are performed with proposed FRP composite material for existing RC columns. It is discussed that the seismic performance of strengthened columns through the load-displacement relationship. It is shown that the proposed composite material can increase the strength as well as ductility of exiting RC columns.

In recent years, carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) has been widely used for repairing and/or strengthening structural elements in concrete. Not enough test data, however, are available to predict the long-term performance of the repaired and improved structures exposed to weathering. The objective of this research is to study the effect of freeze-thaw cycling on the behavior of reinforced concrete (RC) beams strengthened in shear with carbon fiber sheet. Six small-scale RC beams (100mm${\times]$100mm${\times]$400mm) were strengthened with CFRP in shear, subjected to up to 400 cycles freeze-thawing from -17${\sim}4^{\circ}C$, and tested to failure in four-point bending. Test result, there was no significant damage to carbon fiber sheet strengthened concrete beams had been suffered 30 cycles of freeze-thawing, and more over 60 cycles of freezing-thawing brought about a reduction in resistance of only 25% of the initial level.

The behaviors and stability of reinforced subgrade with short geogrid were examined and evaluated during construction. First of all, analytical approach for the minimum length of geogrid was performed to guarantee stability during construction loading state. Secondly, the economic aspects for reinforced subgrade were compared with between domestic standards applying with 0.7 H reinforcement length and new way to mix short and long reinforcement. Full scale railroad subgrade was constructed with the size of 5 m high, 6m wide, and 20m long to verify the stability of the subgrade with the length of 0.3 H, 0.35 H, 0.4 H reinforcement. Total 51 sensors were installed to measure settlement, bulging, and the change of stress of the subgrade. It is concluded that the reinforced subgrade with short(0.35H, 35% of height) geogrid had stability within allowable level of deformation and stress increment during construction.
