A numerical model to simulate bond-slip behavior of composite beam bridges is introduced in this paper. Assuming a linear bond stress-slip relation along the interface between the slab and girder, the slip behavior is implemented into a finite element formulation. Adopting the introduced model, the slip behavior can be taken account even in a beam element which is composed of both end nodes only. Governing equation of the slip behavior, based on the linear partial interaction theory, can be determined from the force equilibrium and a constant curvature distribution across the section of a composite beam. Since the governing equation for the slip behavior requires the moment values at both end nodes, the piecewise linear distribution of the constant bending moment in an element is assumed. Analysis results by the model are compared with numerical results and experimental values, and load-displacement relations of composite beams were then evaluated to verify the validity of the proposed model.

This study introduces a layered sectional analysis for a PSC girder with a vaiable cross section and curved tendons. To consider the shear equilibrium at a concrete layer with curved tendons, the shear stress distribution has been computed at each section. In addition, to improve the convergence to the solution, a system identification technique is newly adopted in the solution process for strain computation. To examine the feasibility of the proposed approach, a static load test has been conducted for a full scale PSC girder with variable cross section. The prediction shows a good agreement with experiment. It is seen that a uniform cross section has the same moment capacity with a variable cross section while the variable cross section has more shear capacity than the uniform cross section. It is also noted that the maximum displacement of a variable cross section is a little smaller than a uniform cross section.

Tests and analyses were performed in this study to assess the shear strength of Reinforced Concrete(RC) members strengthened by the Near Surface Mounted(NSM) technique in shear, which is drawing attention as an alternative to the Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer(CFRP) bonding strengthening technique. Four-point bending tests were performed on 7 RC specimens without any shear reinforcement. The test variables such as the inclination of CFRP strip (45 degrees and 90 degrees), and the spacing of CFRP strip (250mm, 200mm, 150mm, 100mm) were considered. Through the testing scenarios, the effect of each test variable on the failure mode and the shear strength of the RC members strengthened by the NSM technique in shear were assessed. The test results show that the specimens with CFRP strips at 45 degrees go to failure as a result of the strip fracture, but the specimens with CFRP strips at 90 degrees go to failure as a result of the slip of strips. Strips at 45 degrees was the more effective than strips at 90 degrees, not only in terms of increasing beam shear resistance but also in assuring larger deformation capacity at beam failure. In addition, the RBSN analysis appropriately predicted the crack formation and the load-displacement response of the RC members strengthened by the NSM technique in shear.

The main objective of this research is to present the behaviors of precast concrete slab under moving wheel loads. The simulated moving wheel tester and precast concrete slab were designed for this research. In particular, a comparative analysis between the structural analysis and the moving wheel load test was evaluated in connection parts, deformation, bedding layer of concrete slab panels. In the comparisons of the test results from static and moving wheel loads, the maximum deformations were similar. It should be noted that the deformation of panel 2 from the static loading test was larger than that of other panels, while the deformations of panels 1 and 3 were more noticeable than that of panel 2.

The objective of this study is aimed at developing a new class of polymer concrete, in which hydration of cement and curing of a thermosetting resin can take place simultaneously during the mixing of concrete components. For the selected mix-proportion of the new polymer, the physical and mechanical properties needed for designs are presented. These important properties are compressive strength, flexural strength, split tensile strength, direct strength, fatigue characteristics and fracture parameters. The observed properties are always compared with conventional concrete to serve as reference for engineer in deciding or selecting the proper materials for their projects, and shore protecting structure.

This study is intended to investigate the shear fatigue behaviour of reinforced concrete beams based on a series of experiments, and verify the test results in comparison with the analysis result obtained by using a nonlinear finite element method. The experiments are divided into the tests under the static loading and the test under the dynamic fatigue loading. In order to investigate the shear failure behaviour under static loadings, four specimens for three different cases were made and tested. The behaviour of stirrups with the static stress and strain variations were observed based on the results of these tests. In the fatigue fracture tests, eleven specimens for four different cases were made and tested. Various observations on mid-span deflection of test beams and tensile strains of reinforcing steels as well as stirrups were made against various fatigue loadings. It may be concluded that the shear fatigue strengths of R.C. specimens at one million cycles turn out to be approximately 65 percent of the static ultimate shear strength.

An analytical model is presented to predict the static behavior of the long-span prestressed concrete bridge deck(the long-span PSC deck). The finite element analysis is performed and the results are compared with that of the previous experimental test. The load-deflection relationship curves by FEM are in good agreement with the results reported in the previous study. The failure mode of all test specimens is predicted by the punching shear in this study. It is also observed in the previous experimental test. The main objective of this paper is presenting supportive method to predict static behavior of the long-span PSC deck slab. It is not simulating the punching shear behavior graphically.

최근들어 손상된 실구조물의 보강공법들이 적용,발전되어왔다. 가장 보편적으로 사용된공법이 강판과 탄소섬유를 이용한 공법이지만, 이론적인 배경과 적용기술이 아직은 정립되어었지 않은 상태이다. 강판보강의 경우 단부에서의 응력집중이 보강 효과를 결정짓는 가장 중요한 변수이므로, 본 연구에서는 이러한 응력집중을 완화하기 위하여 단부에 보강판과확대판을 부착하여 실험을 하였고, 탄소섬유 보강 실험에서는 다층 시공시 보강량을 조절하여 실험하였다. 실험 결과는 하중-처짐, 항복하중, 최대하중, 보강재의 전단응력의 분포와 보강재의 파괴양상을 분류하여 정리하였다. 실험을 통하여 강판 보강의 경우 본 연구에서 제안된 단부에서의 보강방법이 보강효과가 향상된 것을 확인하였고 탄소섬유 보강시에는 탄소섬유의 보강량을 조절함으로써 경제적인 설계와 시공이 가능한 것으로 나타났다.

The stress analysis of cold-formed channel section steel beams under transverse load was conducted. The local buckling effect was included in the analysis using effective area concept. The proposed analytical model is capable of predicting accurate normal stress in the beam due to various behaviors including biaxial bending and warping. It was found to be appropriate for predicting stresses as well as deflection in the beam. A finite element model was developed to solve the analytical model.
