Most of studies on existing strengthening methods were mainly on increase of stiffness and strength of shear strengthening to rectangular beam. As concrete of beam and slab is poured simultaneously on the characteristics of construction in reinforced concrete beam-slab structure, adjacent slab uniformed after hardening has T-shaped beam cross section which makes the flange of beam, enhances the stiffness of the beam and widens the area supporting compressive strength, but available data of flexural behavior of T-shaped beam are lacking. In this research the T-shaped beams would be made, then the reinforced effects and structural properties can be estimated according to the kinds of reinforced materials and reinforced position. The conclusions are shown as below. To sum up the experimental results, The specimen which was reinforce by CB embedded inside of concrete indicated excellent resistive behavior, internal force and stiffness when it was destroyed. The steel plate reinforced specimen of stiffness and internal force were increase but it expressed lower reinforce effects because of lowering anchored force between concrete. Fiber sheet strengthening showed superior effects but the interfacial delamination was found due to the lack of anchored force in destruction. So the measure is needed now.

This study investigates the failure mechanism of RC beams strengthened with GFRP (glass fiber reinforced polymer) sheets. After analyzing failure mechanisms, the various methods to prevent the debonding failures, such as increasing bonded length of GFRP sheets, U-shape wrappings and epoxy shear keys are examined. The bonded length of GFRP sheets are calculated based on the assumed bond strengths of epoxy resin. The U-shape wrappings are either adopted at the end or center of the CFRP sheets bonded to the beam soft. The epoxy shear keys are embedded to the beam soft to provide sufficient bond strength. The end U-wrappings and the center U-wrappings are conventional, while epoxy shear keys are new details developed in this study. A total six half-scale RC beams have been constructed and tested to investigate the effectiveness of each methods to prevent debonding failure of GFRP sheets. From the experimental results, it was found that increasing bonded length or end U-wrappings do not prevent debonding failure. On the other hand, the beams with center U-wrappings and shear keys reached an ultimate state with their sufficient performance. The center U-wrappings tended to control debonding of the longitudinal GFRP sheets because the growth of the longitudinal cracks along the edges of the composites was delayed. In the case of shear keys, it was sufficient to prevent debonding and the beam was failed by GFRP sheets rupture.

In current design codes, minimum shear reinforcement is required for reinforced concrete flexural members, and the use of steel fiber reinforced concrete is permitted to replace the minimum shear reinforcements. In the present study, to estimate the effects of shear reinforcements and fibers on shear strength, simply supported beams were tested under transverse loading. The test results showed that the shear strength was significantly increased by the use of fibers. Particularly, the effect of fiber reinforced concrete was pronounced when high-strength concrete was used. The performance of fiber reinforced concrete for minimum shear reinforcement was evaluated using results of the present study and existing tests.

본 논문에서는 3차원 섬유분포를 가정하여 고유동 섬유보강 시멘트 모르타르의 유동에 따른 섬유방향성변화를 해석적으로 파악해 보았다. 유동흐름은 평면상의 2차원 완전발달 전단흐름을 고려하였다. 유동에 따른 섬유의 회전운동은 섬유간의 상호 간섭효과를 무시한 Jeffery의 기본식에 근거하였다. 굳지 않은 섬유혼입 모르타르의 유동에 따른 섬유방향성 분포 변화를 흐름선과 동일 유동거리 상의 단면에 대해 파악하였다. 그 결과, 단면 내 위치에 따라서 섬유방향성 분포 변화가 크게 차이가 발생하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 유동거리에 따른 단면상의 섬유방향성 분포는 초기 유동거리에서 분포 형상에 큰 변화가 발생하였고, 유동에 따라 섬유가 유동방향과 나란하게 놓이는 경향이 커지는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 이러한 섬유방향성 변화의 예측은 섬유보강 시멘트 복합체의 인장특성에 예측하는데 유용하게 사용될 것이다.

Although the research of high strength materials is in process briskly in the inside and outside of the country, in south korea, the research of high strength materials is insufficiency. Generally shear resistance of RC beam is influenced dominantly by amount of shear-reinforcing bars($p_w$) and yied strength($f_{wy}$). Therefore, I come to the conclusion that if use shear reinforced bar with shear reinforced bar, it leads to decrease of the quantity of shear reinforced bar and effects on the security of shear-restraint force of member. This study experimented with not only the mixture of high strength-reinforced bar and U-shaped reinforcement normal strength -reinforced bar devises efficient improvement, but also it incites improvement of bond capacity and carries out an experimental study for improvement of member resisting force, finally it evaluates bond capacity quantitatively on the lines of main reinforcement the restraint method.

This paper presents the results of experimental investigations on the shear failure behaviors of reinforced concrete beams using ductile fiber reinforced cementitious composite (DFRCC). Total 10 RC beams of $150{\times}300{\times}1,000mm$ size were tested by 4-point bending under the displacement control. The main parameters of the experiment are surface treatment by grinding and preloading to the cracking point in the repair process. The load-displacement curves, diagonal tension cracking load, flexural cracking load, and shear strength were obtained. The test results showed that the DFRCC can be used effectively for restoring the shear strength approximately 99% to the original value under the condition that the appropriate thickness and surface treatment like grinding are assured. For further research, the specimens taken from real deteriorated structures will need to be tested after being repaired with DFRCC.

Reinforced concrete beams of existing structure often encounter insufficient shear problems for various reasons. Application of steel plates is one of widely used methods for shear strengthening of reinforced concrete beams that are insufficient of shear capacity. This study presents test results on strengthening shear deficient RC beams by external bonding of vertical and diagonal slit type steel plates with anchor bolt. Test parameters are width, interval, angle and length of slits with anchor bolt. The purpose was to evaluate the failure modes and shear capacities for RC beams strengthened by various slit type steel plates with anchor bolt. The results showed that the slit type steel plate specimens strengthened by adhesive bonding and bolting failed in shear fracture modes at maximum load. Flexural crack first occurred on the tension face of beam and then inclined cracks occurred on the shear span. Finally, slit type steel plates strengthened by adhesive bonding and fastening bolts managed to delay abrupt debonding and didn't detach fully from main body of RC beam.

The main purpose of this study is to develop a sprayed FRP repair and strengthening method, which is a new technique for strengthening the existing concrete structures by mixing one of the carbon or glass chopped fibers and one of the epoxy or vinyl ester resins with high-speed compressed air in open air and randomly spraying the mixture onto the concrete surface. At present, the sprayed FRP repair and strengthening method using the epoxy resin has not been fully discussed. In order to investigate the material property of the sprayed FRP, this study carried out tensile tests of the material specimens, which were changed with the combinations of various variables including the length of chopped fiber and the mixture ratio of chopped fiber and resin. These variables were set to have the equal material strength, compared with that of one layer of the FRP sheet. As a result, the optimal length of glass and carbon chopped fibers was fumed out to be 38 mm, and the optimal mixture ratio between chopped fiber and resin was also turned out to be 1 : 2 from each variable. And also, the thickness of the sprayed FRP to have the equal strength to one layer of the FRP sheet was finally calculated. In is study, a series of experiments were carried out to evaluate the strengthening effects of flexural beams, shear beams and damaged beams strengthened with the sprayed FRP method, respectively. The results revealed that the strengthening effects of the flexural and shear specimens were reasonably similar to those of the FRP sheet, and the developed Sprayed FRP technique is able to be used as a strengthening scheme of existing RC building.

본 연구에서는 geosynthetics로 보강된 다짐토의 보강 메카니즘을 파악하기 위한 목적으로 실내시험 및 수치계산 수행하였다. 본 연구에서 고려하는 보강 메카니즘은 전단에 의한 다짐토의 체적 팽창(부의 다일렌탄시)을 geosynthetics에 의해 구속 억제하는 과정에서 생성되는 효과로 생각한다. 먼저, 실내실험을 위한 구제직인 방법으로서, geosynthetics의 보강효과를 정량직으로 파악하기 위하여 사질토를 다짐하여 공시체를 만들어 그 주위에 geosynthetics를 설치하여 전체적으로 압축전단 시험을 실시하였다. 또한, 다짐토의 다짐도를 달리 하고 한 가지 종류만의 geosynthetics를 이용하여, 다짐토와 geosynthetics의 상호작용에 따른 압축력 변화, geosynthetics의 인장력 변화 및 공시체의 파괴 진행상황 등을 살펴보았다. 수치계산에서는 다짐토의 다일렌탄시 특성에 대하여 표현 가능한 탄소성 구성모델을 이용하였다. 또한, 탄소성 구성 모델에서의 항복 이전의 탄성영역의 거동을 묘사하기 위하여 Hashiguchi(1989)가 제안한 subloading surface의 개념을 도입하였고, 유한요소(FEM)해석을 통해 얻어진 결과들을 실내시험의 결과와 비교 분석하였으며, 그 결과 양자 양호한 결과를 얻었다.
