The repair of concrete surfaces does not normally take into account structural tolerance for longer service lift and better capabilities of concrete structures. In particular, the repair of surface spelling completes as mortar is applied, which does not display additional structural performances. The use of crimped wire mesh for better construction and fracture resistance, however, expects to have some reinforcement effects. Particularly, it is also expected that the repair of bottom part in structures built between bridges like irrigation structures results in the increase of flexural resistance. Therefore, this study is intended to perform the repair using crimp wire mesh and examine strength depending on the repair section and depth. For this, a slab with 150 mm in depth, 3,000 mm in length and 600 mm in width and total 8 objects to experiment such as upper part, upper whole, bottom part, bottom whole and crimp wire mesh reinforced are manufactured to perform flexural performance. The results of the analysis show that yield strength and failure load increase as the depth of repair materials in the experiment reinforced with crimp wire mesh get bigger. In the same condition, repair of bottom part is able to increase internal force of bending force. Besides, the results show that partial repair of structures under bending force cannot produce flexural performance. Consequently, the repair method with crimp wire mesh results in the increase of flexural resistance.

본 논문에서는 최근 건축구조물의 보수보강에 사용되고 있는 복합재료보의 정확한 보강성능을 규명하기 위하여 다양한 실물 실험을 수행하였으며 실험 결과를 검토하여 실제 보강효과를 검증하였다. 콘크리트의 재료비선형을 고려할 수 있는 수치해석 기법으로 실험결과를 재현하여 보강효과를 수치해석적으로 검증하였으며 복합재료보를 이용하였을 경우 확보할 수 있는 보강효과에 대하여 연구하였다. 일반적인 철근콘크리트 구조물에 복합재료보를 이용하여 보강하였을 경우, 약 80% 내외의 하중 증가효과를 확보할 수 있었다. 또한 수치해석을 통하여 보강효과를 검토한 결과, 실물실험과 유사한 결과를 얻을 수 있었으며 복합재료보의 시공시 사용되는 전단연결재의 효과를 고려한다면 거의 동일한 결과를 얻을 수 있을 것으로 판단된다. 현재까지의 연구결과, 복합재료보를 이용하여 구조물을 보강한 경우, 취성이 증가하는 것으로 알려져있으나 추가적인 연구를 통하여 연성을 확보할 수 있는 복합재료보의 연구개발이 가능할 것으로 예상된다.

Latex modified concrete (LMC) is a successful polymer-portland cement concretes, which have been developed and used for many years, in overlaying bridge decks and resurfacing industrial floors. The excellent bond strength to substrate, easy application and high resistance to impact, abrasion, wear, aggressive chemicals and freeze-thaw deterioration have made this material used widely. The objective of this study was to determine experimentally the load-deflection response and ultimate strength of reinforced RC beams. The cracking patterns and the mode of failure were observed. Because of excellent bond strength and repairing effects, the RC beams repaired by LMC at compression or tension zone showed over 100% recovery from damaged structures. The RC beams overlaid by LMC showed significant improvement at load carrying capacity as overlay thickness increases. However, the beams repaired of tension zone without shear stirrups almost showed no strengthen effect, and indicated an interfacial failures. The interfacial behavior was estimated by numerical method adopting the concept of shear flow.

When RC structures are repaired or strengthened using FRP, it is required to cure for some Period under certain air temperature and then it is hopeful to avoid detrimental action caused by external vibration sources during that period. Therefore, an effect of repeated loading during Carbon Fiber Sheet(CFS) strengthening Process on the strengthening efficiency is studied through an experiment for a number of RC beams. Experimental results showed that the curing time of 24 hours without any repeated loading after CFS attachment were recommended for 1 ply strengthening, and 12 hours for 2 plies strengthening.

As a typical construction material, concrete has been used in building all kinds of structures since the late $19^{th}$ century. Although it was recognized to secure durability as long as the regulations on design and construction have been reasonably complied, the trends of life-shortening and deterioration have frequently occurred due to all kinds of the external effects that have been experienced during the procedures of using the structures. To make matters even worse, deterioration of the concrete structures according to deterioration can not be controlled any more. Finally, the reality is that repair and maintenance are necessary in the maintenance aspect of the concrete structure. In this study, CRM(Chemical Resistance of Laminating Reinforcement Method), which had been developed to reinforce the surface of concrete and specially improve chemical resistance performance, has been applied to enhance the existing repairing and maintenance method. Therefore, the result has been drawn with comparison and analysis of the specimens applied with the general repairing and maintenance method and CRM through a variety of durability test in this study. With the result of the test, durability of the specimen applied with CRM has been more improved than the existing repairing and maintenance method, which is judged as because of the laminating effect due to reinforcement of epoxy impregnated of alkali-resistance fiber and double layered fiber reinforced seat.

근년, 철근 콘크리트조 구조부재의 열화 및 건축물의 용도변경에 따라 건축물의 보수 및 보강에 관한 공법의 개발 및 그 효과를 검증하려는 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 이에 따라, 보강공법으로서는 경제성ㆍ시공성 면에서 우수한 탄소섬유시트, 아라미드섬유 시트, 유리섬유시트 보강공법 및 FRP판 보강공법 등 합성수지 접착제를 사용하는 새로운 보강공법들이 폭넓게 연구되어 현장 실용화되어 사용 중에 있다. 그러나, 이들 보강공법에 관한 연구는 주로 구조적인 내력 보강효과 산정에 관한 것이 대부분이고 보강후의 내화성능 및 내구성능에 관한 연구는 매우 부족한 실정이다. 이들 보강공법은 주로 에폭시수지계 접착제에 의하여 콘크리트와 보강재의 접착력에 의하여 내력이 전달되는 메커니즘으로 되어있어 화재가 발생한 경우 내화피복이 없다면 접착제 자체의 연소에 의하여 유독가스의 발생 및 접착강도가 크게 저하되어 그 구조적인 보강성능은 급속히 저하할 것으로 판단된다. 또한, 현재 이들 보강공사는 내화성능의 검토 없이 실제 시공이 이루어지고 있으므로 화재시에는 대형참사를 일으킬 위험성이 있다.(중략)

Bridges are rated at two levels by either Load Factor Design (LFD) or Allowable Stress Design (ASD). The lower level rating is called Inventory Rating and the upper level rating is called Operating Rating. To maintain bridges effectively, there is an urgent need to assess actual bridge loading carrying capacity and to predict their remaining life from a system reliability viewpoint. The lifetime functions are introduced and explained to predict the time-dependent failure probability. The bridge studied in this paper was built 30 years ago in rural area. For this bridge, the load test and rehabilitation were conducted. The time-dependent system failure probability is predicted with or without rehabilitation. As a case study, an optional rehabilitation is suggested, and fir this rehabilitation, load rating is computed and the time-dependent system failure probability is predicted. Based on rehabilitation costs and extended service lifes, the optimal rehabilitation is suggested.

Even though the cost associated with the repair and rehabilitation of existing structures are rapidly increasing, vast number of the repaired and rehabilitated structures do not function properly as expected during their remaining service lives. This paper focused on the flexural behavior of reinforced concrete slabs repaired and reinforced by PS strand and polymer mortar in the tension face. The slabs have the size of 700${\times}120{\times}$2200 m and 700${\times}120{\times}$1300 mm. Variables of experiment were space of strengthening, chipping, the number of strand, the kind of mortar in this experimental study. Attention is concentrated upon overall bending capacity, deflection, ductility and failure mode of repaired and reinforced slabs. Test results show that deflection of repaired and reinforced slabs reduced to approximately $40 \%$ comparison to standard slabs. Boundary cracking of chipping slab started ultimate load afterward. Concrete-mortar interface cracked 64.5 kN in repaired slab with AP mortar and 36.0 kN in repaired slab with general polymer mortar. Reinforcement effect increased with reducing space of strand. Also, Reinforcement effects are more by strand than by polymer mortar.

An experimental study is needed a reinforcing method for seismic load to apply for RC structures because a lot of earthquakes have frequently happened in the world and those also collapsed infrastructures or damaged human lives. The reinforcing effect of PolyUrea (PU) appeared to be excellent under blast and impact about RC structures. In this study, Stiff Type PolyUrea (STPU) had developed by manipulating the ratio of the components of prepolymer and hardener of PU. And the durability performance evaluation of STPU for deterioration and chemical resistance has been performed. Acid environmental exposure test and ultraviolet (UV) exposure test have been performed as the durability performance evaluation for STPU. Concrete carbonation exposure test and freezing and thawing test for concrete coated with STPU have been performed. The experimental result showed that STPU has high resisting capacity and durability in all tests. Therefore, STPU would be used as seismic reinforcement materials.
