This paper presents experimental results of advanced investigation carried out on the beams reinforced with Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) rebar and stirrups. Twelve beams reinforced with GFRP and one beam with steel reinforcement of size $230{\times}300{\times}2000mm$ were investigated. Longitudinal reinforcement, shear span and spacing of stirrups were the main variables to form the set. In advanced testing three types of strain gauges for steel, composite and concrete surface were applied to observe strain/stress development against the applied load. Live data were recorded from four strain gauges applied on stirrups, one at center on longitudinal reinforcement, two on the concrete surface and central deflection during the test. Although the focus of the paper was mainly on the behavior of GFRP shear reinforcement, other parallel data were observed for the completeness of the test. Design recommendations of ISIS Canada Design Manual (2007), Japan Society of Civil Engineers (1997) and American Concrete Institute (ACI-440.1R-06) were reviewed. Shear design predictions were compared with experimental results in which it was observed that all the three standards provided conservative predictions. However, ACI found most efficient compare to other two there is room to improve the efficiency of the recommendations.

Extensive research has been conducted on the basic mechanical property and structural applications of engineered cementitious composites (ECC). Despite the high tensile ductility and high toughness of ECC, transverse steel reinforcement is still necessary to confine ECC for high performance. However, limited research has examined performance of ECC confined with practical amount of transverse reinforcement. This paper presents the results of axial compression tests on 14 square ECC columns and 4 conventional concrete columns (used as control specimens) with transverse reinforcement. The test variables were spacing, configuration (square ties or square and diamond shape ties), and yield strength of stirrups. The test showed that ECC columns confined with steel stirrup had good compressive ductility, and the stirrup spacing had the greatest effect on the compressive performance. The self-confinement effect of ECC results in a more uniform but slower expansion of the whole column compared with CC ones. The test results are then compared against the predictions from a number of existing models for conventional confined concrete. It is indicated that these models fail to predict the axial strains at peak axial stress and the trend of the stress-strain curve of steel stirrups-confined ECC with sufficient accuracy. Several new equations are then proposed for the compressive properties of steel-confined ECC based on test results and potential approaches for future studies are proposed.

This paper presents a new structural system to use as retaining walls. In civil works, there is a general trend to use traditional reinforced concrete (RC) retaining walls to resist soil pressure. Despite their good resistance, RC retaining walls have some disadvantages such as need for huge temporary formworks, high dense reinforcing, low construction speed, etc. In the present work, a composite wall with only one steel plate (steel-concrete) is proposed to address the disadvantages of the RC walls. In the proposed system, steel plate is utilized not only as tensile reinforcement but also as a permanent formwork for the concrete. In order to evaluate the efficiency of the proposed SC composite system, an experimental program that includes nine SC composite wall specimens is developed. In this experimental study, the effects of different parameters such as distance between shear connectors, length of shear connectors, concrete ultimate strength, use of compressive steel plate and compressive steel reinforcement are investigated. In addition, a 3D finite element (FE) model for SC composite walls is proposed using the finite element program ABAQUS and load-displacement curves from FE analyses were compared against results obtained from physical testing. In all cases, the proposed FE model is reasonably accurate to predict the behavior of SC composite walls under out-of-plane loads. Results from experimental work and numerical study show that the SC composite wall system has high strength and ductile behavior under flexural loads. Furthermore, the design equations based on ACI code for calculating out-ofplate flexural and shear strength of SC composite walls are presented and compared to experimental database.

Vertical reinforcement of soft soils using the deep mixing method has received increasing applications. In this study, the theory of elasticity and plasticity including the upper bound theorem of limit analysis were used to derive the equations for obtaining composite elastic properties and shear strength parameters. The developed equations were validated using the finite element computer program SAGE CRISP. The analysis involved 4 different cases-two different type of soil and replacement ratios. Tile results of the analysis show that the proposed equations could determine the properties of composite material for practical applications.

The hysteretic behavior of diagonal reinforced coupling beams is excellent during earthquakes. However, construction of the diagonal reinforced coupling beams is difficult due to complex reinforcement details required by current code procedures (ACI 318-11). Due to the detail requirement, reinforcement congestion and interference among transverse reinforcement always occur during construction field. When the aspect ratio of the beam is large, the interference of reinforcement becomes more serious. The objective of this paper is to simplify the reinforcement details of slender coupling beams by reducing transverse reinforcement around the beam perimeter. For this purpose, high- performance fiber reinforced cementitious composites are used for making coupling beams. Experiments were conducted using three specimens having aspect ratio 3.5. Test results showed that HPFRCC coupling beams with half the transverse reinforcement required by ACI 318-11 provided identical seismic capacities to the corresponding coupling beams having requirement satisfying the requirement specified in ACI 318-11.

The steel pipe of steel-concrete composite piles increases the pile strength and induces the ductile failure by constraining the deformation of the inner concrete. In this research, the load-movement relations and the reinforcement effect by the outer steel pipe in the steel-concrete composite pile were analyzed by performing three-dimensional numerical analyses, which can simulate the yielding behavior of the pile material and the elasto-plastic behavior of soils. The parameters analyzed in the study include three pile materials of steel, concrete and composite, pile diameter and loading direction. As the results, the axial capacity of the composite pile was 1.9 times larger than that of the steel pipe pile and similar with that of the concrete pile. At the allowable movement criteria, the horizontal capacity of the composite pile was 1.46 times larger than that of the steel pile and 1.25 times larger than that of the concrete pile. In addition, the horizontal movement at the pile head of the composite pile was about 78% of that of the steel pile and about 53% of that of the concrete pile, which showed that the movement reduction effect of the composite pile was significant and enables the economical design of drilled shafts.

프리캐스트 패널은 교량바닥판의 합성 구조부재로서 사용된다. 프리캐스트 패널의 횡방향 강재는 교량바닥판의 주철근 역할을 하며, 또한, 패널은 상부의 현장타설 콘크리트 시공시 거푸집 대용으로 적용된다. 이 연구에서는 프리캐스트 패널과 현장타설 바닥판의 합성효과를 위해 패널 상부에 도입되는 전단철근 필요성을 확인하였다. 또한, 프리캐스트 패널을 갖는 합성바닥판에서 패널간에는 횡방향 이음부의 연속적인 거동이 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 전단철근과 루프이음을 갖는 합성바닥판의 정적실험을 수행하였다. 실험결과로부터 바닥판의 연속성 확보를 위한 루프철근 이음부의 연속성을 확인하고, 패널과 현장타설 바닥판 사이의 합성효과를 확인하였다. 전단철근이 있는 합성바닥판은 합성효과의 증가로 인해 전단철근이 없는 바닥판에 비해 약 140~164%의 극한내력을 보인다. 따라서 접합면에 도입되는 전단철근은 파괴시까지 합성거동을 확보해주는 역할을 하는 것으로 판단된다.

입자 보강 복합재료의 부피분율을 평가하기 위한 와전류 비파괴 방법을 제시하였다. 제안된 방법은 복합재의 미시구조를 설명할 수 있는 이론 모델과 와전류에 의한 전기전도도 측정을 필요로 한다. 측정한 전도도를 이론 예측값과 같게 두면 미지의 입자 부피분율이 계산된다. Mori-Tanaka 방법에 기초한 전도도 해석 모델이 소개되어 있다. 이러한 접근 방법을 SiC 입자 보강 Al 기지 ($SiC_p/Al$) 복합재에 적용하였다. 이방법으로 보강재의 부피분율을 비교적 정확하게 결정할 수 있었다. 금속간 화합물이 부피분율 평가에 미치는 영향을 논하였으며, 또한 금속간 화합물의 전도도와 기하학적 성질이 보강 입자와 같은 경우, 이 두 상의 총 부피분율을 결정할 수 있는 방법을 제시하였다.

FRP 판을 콘크리트 구조물의 거푸집 및 보강재로 이용하기 위한 기본적인 실험을 수행하였다. FRP 판과 콘크리트가 합성 효과를 발휘하기 위해서는 두 재료간의 부착이 중요한 요인 중의 하나이다. 이러한 부착을 확보하기 위하여 FRP 판에 두 가지 크기의 골재를 일반적으로 건설 현장에서 많이 사용하는 에폭시를 이용하여 부착 하였다. 콘크리트 보는 FRP 판만으로 인장 보강하였고 추가적인 휨 및 전단 보강은 하지 않았다. 비교를 위해 한 비교 실험 시편은 FRP 판에 골재를 부착하지 않고, 다른 한 비교 실험 시편은 FRP 판 대신에 종래의 철근으로 보강하여 실험하였다. 모든 콘크리트 보의 실험은 보의 중앙에 집중하중을 파괴까지 재하하였다. 실험 결과는 현행 ACI 318(2005)과 ACI 440(2006)과 비교 분석하였다. 본 연구 결과 FRP 판을 콘크리트 구조물의 거푸집 대용 및 인장 보강재로 충분히 활용할 수 있는 가능성을 보여주었다.

최근 건설 산업에서 FRP는 재료적 장점으로 RC 구조물의 보강 재료로서 많이 사용되어지고 있다. FRP 외부부착보강은 중량에 비하여 높은 강도 및 강성, 우수한 내구성과 시공성등 여러 가지 장점을 가지는 공법이다. 그러나 외부부착보강은 구조물이 투수성이 낮은 보강재로 밀폐되고 수분이 외부로 배출되지 못함으로 인하여, 장기적인 구조물의 손상을 발생시키는 문제점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 기존의 FRP (Fiber Reinforced Polymer)와 재료적성질은 동등하면서, 투수성을 지녀 콘크리트 구조물의 모체와 부착성 및 내구성능 및 내구성이 우수한 유리섬유 패널(Glass Fiber Composite Pannel )에 대해서 휨 실험을 수행하여 복합소재 스트립의 섬유함량의 변화에 따른 실험변수별 내력증진 및 연성 증진 효과를 비교 분석하였다.
