This paper is to introduce the a system which monitors and detects the object position in reinforced the concrete structure using UWB-RF. This system is able to check any changes in the inside of the concrete structure using its penetration and reflection characteristics and it can also numerically measure the position of rebar in the concrete structure. For the verification of the performance of this system, we set up the internal compositions of concrete in 3 different types of test-bed. On the other hand, for the measuring of the location of rebar, which varies depending on the type of structure, the software which shows the distance in the structure were used. The result shows that the position in the concrete could be measured within the tolerance of ${\pm}1{\sim}4mm$ depending on the type of structure in the concrete.

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.

This study focuses on the evaluation of efficiency of the explicit FEM program LS-DYNA to predict the failure behavior of reinforced concrete. Analysis variables of reinforced concrete beams were longitudinal bar ratio, shear steel ratio and span-depth ratio. Failure behavior of reinforced concrete beams was approximately simulated by LS-DYNA.

This paper predicts premature failure load of reinforced concrete beams by epoxy-boned partially steel plates. A parametric study is conducted to estimate premature failure load of beams such as with or without stirrups, unplated length ratio, steel and reinforcement ratio, shear span to depth ratio of reinforcement beam. By results of finite element analysis, it turned out that the unplated length played a dominant role in partially plated beams but reinforcement ratio and shear span to depth ratio effected the premature failure load. The approximate expression with regard to combined design variables is compared with experimental results. It shows closely agreement.

An analytical procedure to analyze reinforced concrete (RC) beams subject to monotonic loadings is proposed on the basis of the moment-curvature relations of RC sections. Unlike previous analytical models which result the overestimation of stiffnesses and underestimation of structural deformations induced from ignoring the shear deformation and assuming perfect-bond condition between steel and concrete, the proposed relation considers the rigid-body-motion due to anchorage slip at the fixed end. The advantages of the proposed relation, compared with the previous numerical models, are on the promotion in effectiveness of analysis and reflection of influencing factors which must be considered in nonlinear analysis of RC beam by taking into account the nonlinear effects into the simplifying moment-curvature relation. Finally, correlation studies between analytical and experimental results are conducted to establish the applicability of the proposed model to the nonlinear analysis of RC structures.

In this study, a comparison was made between the resulting behaviors of scaled model test and particle flow analysis for blasting demolition of a reinforced concrete structure. For the test and analysis, a progressive failure of a five-story structure was considered. The dimension analysis was carried out to properly scale down the real structure into the laboratory size. The test model was made of the mixture of gypsum, sand and water along with soldering lead to analogy reinforcing steel bars. The ratio of mixing components was chosen to best represent the scaled down strength and deformation modulus. The columns and girders of the structure were precasted in the laboratory and assembled right before the blasting test. The numerical analysis of the blasting demolition was carried out using PFC2D (Particle Flow Analysis 2-Dimension by Itasca). The results of the blasting of concrete lahmen structure showed roughly identical demolition behavior between scaled model test and numerical test. For the blasting of the reinforced concrete structure, the results were more identical and closer to the real demolition behavior, since the demolition behavior was better represented in this case due to the increased tensile strength of the component.

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 cracks are developed in reinforced concrete(RC) beams at the early stage of service load because of the relatively small tensile strength of concrete. The structural strength and stiffness are decreased by reduction of tensile resistance capacity of concrete due to the developed cracks. Using the fiber reinforced concrete that is increased the flexural strength and tensile strength at tensile part can enhance the strength and stiffness of concrete structures and decrease the tensile flexural cracks and deflections. Therefore, the RC beams used of the fiber reinforced concrete at. tensile part ensure the safety and serviceability of the concrete structures. In this work, analytical model of a dual concrete beams composed of the normal strength concrete at compression part and the high tension strength concrete at tensile part is developed by using the equilibrium conditions of forces and compatibility conditions of strains. Three groups of test beams that are formed of one reinforced concrete beam and two dual concrete beams for each steel reinforcement ratio are tested to examine the flexural behavior of dual concrete beams. The comparative study of total nine test beams is shown that the ultimate load of a dual concrete beams relative to the RC beams is increased in approximately 30%. In addition, the flexural rigidity, as used here, referred to the slope of load-deflection curves is increased and the deflection is decreased.
