Sixteen concrete filled square CFRP-steel tubular (S-CFRP-CFST) stub columns under axial compression were experimentally investigated. The experimental results showed that the failure mode of the specimens is strength loss of the materials, and the confined concrete has good plasticity due to confinement of the CFRP-steel composite tube. The steel tube and CFRP can work concurrently. The load versus longitudinal strain curves of the specimens can be divided into 3 stages, i.e., elastic stage, elasto-plastic stage and softening stage. Analysis based on finite element method showed that the longitudinal stress of the steel tube keeps almost constant along axial direction, and the transverse stress at the corner of the concrete is the maximum. The confinement effect of the outer tube to the concrete is mainly focused on the corner. The confinements along the side of the cross-section and the height of the specimen are both non-uniform. The adhesive strength has little effect both on the load versus longitudinal strain curves and on the confinement force versus longitudinal strain curves. With the increasing of the initial stress in the steel tube, the load carrying capacity, the stiffness and the peak value of the average confinement force are all reduced. Equation for calculating the load carrying capacity of the composite stub columns is presented, and the estimated results agree well with the experimental results.

This paper presents a finite element (FE) model for predicting the nonlinear response and behavior of a reinforced concrete T-beam deficient in shear under cyclic loading. Cracking loads, failure loads, response hysteresis envelopes and crack patterns were used as bench mark for comparison between experimental and FE results. A parametric study was carried out to predict the optimum combination of the open and close crack shear transfer coefficients (${\beta}_t$ and ${\beta}_c$) of the constitutive material model for concrete. It is concluded that when both shear transfer coefficients are equal to 0.2 the FE results gave the best correlation with the experimental results. The results were also verified on a rectangular shear deficient beam (R-beam) tested under cyclic loading and it is concluded that the variation of section geometry has no effect on the optimum choice of the values of shear transfer coefficients of 0.2. In addition, a parametric study based on the variation of concrete compressive strength, was carried out on the T-beam and it is observed that the variation of concrete compressive strength has little effect on the deflection. Further conclusions and observations were also drawn.

This paper describes the results obtained from 11 direct tension tests to explore the influence of concrete strength on tension stiffening behavior in reinforced concrete axial members. Three different concrete compressive strengths, 250, 650, and 900kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$, were included as a main variable, while the ratio of cover thickness-to-rebar diameter was kept constant to be 2.62 to prevent from splitting cracking. As the results, it was appeared that, as higher concrete strength was used, less tension stiffening effect was resulted, and the residual deformation upon unloading was larger. In addition, the spacing between adjacent transverse cracks became smaller with higher concrete strength. The major cause for those results may be attributed to the fact that nonuniform bond stress concentration at both loaded ends and crack sections becomes severer as higher concrete is used, thereby local bond failure becomes more susceptible. From these findings, it would be said the increase in flexural stiffness resulting from using high-strength concrete will be much smaller than that predicted by the conventional knowledge. Finally, a factor accunting for concrete strength was introduced to take account for the effect of HSC on tension stiffening. This proposed equation predicts well the tension stiffening for the effect of HSC on tension stiffening. This proposed equation predicts well the tension stiffening behavior of these tests.

Due to lack of information, current design methods to calculate bearing strength of connections are tacit about cases in which hybrid coupled walls have connection details of stud bolts and horizontal ties. In this study, analytical study was carried out to develop model for calculating the connections strength of embedded steel section. The bearing stress at failure in the concrete below the embedded steel coupling beam section is related to the concrete compressive strength and the ratio of the width of the embedded steel coupling beam section to the thickness of the shear walls. Experiments were carried out to determine the factors influencing the bearing strength of the connection between steel coupling beam and reinforced concrete shear wall. The test variables included the reinforcement details that confer a ductile behavior in connection between steel coupling beam and shear wall, i. e., the auxiliary stud bolts attached to the steel beam flanges and the transverse ties at the top and the bottom steel beam flanges. In addition, additional test were conducted to verify the strength equations of the connection between steel coupling beam and reinforced concrete shear wall. The results of the proposed equations in this study are in good agreement with both our test results and other test data from the literature.

This paper describes the compaction and strength behavior of black cotton soil (BC soil) reinforced with coir fibers. Coir used in this study is processed fiber from the husk of coconuts. BC soil reinforced with coir fiber shows only marginal increase in the strength of soil, inhibiting its use for ground improvement. In order to further increase the strength of the soil-coir fiber combination, optimum percentage of 4% of lime is added. The effect of aspect ratio, percentage fiber on the behavior of the composite soil specimen with curing is isolated and studied. It is found that strength properties of optimum combination of BC soil-lime specimens reinforced with coir fibers is appreciably better than untreated BC soil or BC soil alone with coir fiber. Lime treatment in BC soil improves strength but it imparts brittleness in soil specimen. BC soil treated with 4% lime and reinforced with coir fiber shows ductility behavior before and after failure. An optimum fiber content of 1% (by weight) with aspect ratio of 20 for fiber was recommended for strengthening BC soil.

This paper presented an experimental study of the bond-slip behavior of reactive powder concrete (RPC)-filled square steel tube. A total of 18 short composite specimens were designed forstatic push-out test, and information on their failure patterns, load-slip behavior and bond strength was presented. The effects of width-to-thickness ratio, height-to-width ratio and the compressive strength of RPC on the bond behavior were discussed. The experimental results show that:(1) the push-out specimens remain intact and no visible local buckling appears on the steel tube, and the interfacial scratches are even more pronounced at the internal steel tube of loading end; (2) the bond load-slip curves with different width-to-thickness ratios can be divided into two types, and the main difference is whether the curves have a drop in load with increasing slip; (3) the bond strength decreases with the increase of the width-to-thickness ratio and height-width ratio, while the influence of RPC strength is not consistent; (4) the slippage has no definite correlation with bond strength and the influence of designed parameters on slippage is not evident. On the basis of the above analysis, the expressions of interface friction stress and mechanical interaction stress are determined by neglecting chemical adhesive force, and the calculation model of bond strength for RPC filled in square steel tube specimens is proposed. The theoretical results agree well with the experimental data.

본 연구에서는 Eurocode에서 제시하는 콘크리트 부재간 계면조건을 고려한 전단강도 설계식을 압축강도가 서로 다른 부재 연결부에 대해서도 적용할 수 있는지를 검토하기 위하여 전단실험을 수행하고 설계 평가식과 비교하였다. Eurocode에서 제시하는 전단강도 평가식의 변수를 고려하여 콘크리트 압축강도, 전단철근 보강비, 요철계면을 변수로 하는 부재를 제작하였고, 콘크리트층 간의 강도 차이와 요철계면의 유무에 따른 전단강도에 주안점을 두고 전단실험을 수행하였다. 실험을 통해 계측한 실제 전단강도를 Eurocode의 전단강도 평가식을 이용한 계산값과 비교하여 실제 전단강도 수준과 평가식과의 차이를 평가하였으며, 이종강도를 갖는 콘크리트 층에서 압축강도가 증가함에 따라 전단강도도 증가하며, 계면요철을 둔 연결부 전단강도는 설계기준의 평가식으로 계산한 값에 비해 20~50%까지 차이를 보이는 것으로 나타났다. 철근보강비가 작은 경우에는 계면요철에 의한 전단저항력이 전단강도에 주로 기여하며, 이 경우에는 계면에서의 급격한 파괴가 일어나는 현상과 전단강도 편차가 크게 나타남에 따라 평가식과 큰 차이를 보였다. 특히, 이종강도를 갖는 콘크리트 층의 전단강도는 압축강도 차이가 클수록 강도 평가식과 큰 차이를 보이는 것으로 판단된다.

근년, 콘크리트구조물이 고층화, 대형화됨에 따라 고강도, 고유동, 고내구성인 고성능 콘크리트의 수요가 많아지고 있다. 이러한 고성능 콘크리트는 보통콘크리트에 비하여 압축강도가 크고, 시공성 및 내구성이 우수한 것이 장점이지만, 보통강도 콘크리트에 비하여 파괴형태가 취성적인 것이 단점으로 제시되고 있다. 따라서, 본 연구는 W/B 30% 및 40%에서 메탈라스, 유리섬유 및 탄소섬유로 횡구속된 고성능 콘크리트의 역학적 특성을 분석하여 압축강도 및 인성개량방법을 제안하고자 하였다. 연구결과 압축강도는 횡구속재의 횡구속력의 증대에 기인하여 메탈라스, 탄소섬유 및 유리섬유의 순으로 증가하였다. 또한, 횡구속재 변화에 따른 응력-변형도곡선에서 플레인의 경우는 최대하중 이후 취성파괴로 나타난 반면, 횡구속된 경우로, 특히 메탈라스로 횡구속하였을 때에는 인성증가로 변형율이 증가하여 어느 정도 취성이 개량됨을 알 수 있었다. 탄성계수는 보강하지 않은 콘크리트와 비교하여 약간 큰 값으로 압축강도의 경향과 비슷한 양상이었다.

기존의 많은 연구에서 비구속 콘크리트에 비해 FRP로 구속된 콘크리트는 강도 및 연성의 탁월한 증진 효과가 있는 것으로 보고되고 있다. 그러나, FRP로 구속된 콘크리트에 대한 보강 설계 시 구속 효과에 의한 정확한 평가가 요구된다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 FRP로 구속된 콘크리트의 강도 및 변형률을 예측하고자 하였다. 이를 위해서 102개의 실험체를 제작하여 일축압축실험을 수행하였으며 축하중, 축방향 변형률 및 횡방향 변형률을 측정하였다. 또한, 보다 정확한 극한응력과 변형률 예측식을 개발하기 위하여 기존 연구 결과를 이용하였다. 본 연구에서는 FRP로 구속된 콘크리트의 압축강도 실험을 통해 강도 및 변형률 예측 모델을 제안하였다. 제안된 식은 기존의 설계식에 비해 극한응력과 파괴 변형률을 보다 정확하게 예측하였다. 결과적으로, 본 연구에서 제안된 식은 구속된 콘크리트의 보수 보강을 위한 응력-변형률 모델에 효과적으로 적용될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

섬유보강 콘크리트 보의 전단강도와 거동 특성을 규명하기 위해서 이론적 연구를 수행하였다. 섬유보강 콘크리트 보의 단면에 작용하는 전단력은 압축대와 인장대에 의해서 지지된다. 압축대의 전단성능은 단면의 휨모멘트에 의해서 발생하는 수직응력과의 상관관계를 고려하여 정의하였으며, 인장대의 전단성능은 섬유보강 콘크리트의 균열 후 인장강도를 고려하여 정의하였다. 보의 휨변형에 따라서 수직응력의 크기와 분포가 변화하므로, 보의 전단성능은 휭변형의 함수로 정의하였다. 전단성능곡선과 전단요구곡선의 교점에서, 보의 전단강도와 위험단면의 위치가 결정된다. 제안된 설계 방법은 섬유보강 콘크리트와 일반 콘크리트 보를 위한 통합전단강도모델로 사용 할 수 있다.
