The use of hybrid FRP-concrete structures with a dual purpose of both permanent formwork and reinforcement, has been considered in some studies recently. For the FRP plank and the concrete to act as a composite structural member a satisfactory bond at the interface between the smooth surface of the pultruded plank and the cast-in-place concrete must be developed. Sand was bonded to the pultruded FRP plank using a commercially available epoxy system. In applying general analysis techniques to evaluate the performance of composite structures with FRP stay-in-place forming, it is essential that characteristics of the bond stress-slip relation be identified. In this study I would like to propose a simplified bilinear bond stress-slip model for FRP composite structures.

기존 투명방음판용 알루미늄 프레임의 구조적 단점을 보완할 수 있는 강재-FRP(Fiber Reinforced Plastic) 합성단면 구조재를 개발하였으며, 아울러 조립이 간편하고 외부 충격에 의해 쉽게 분리가 되지 않는 삽입형 수평재-수직재 코너연결부 상세를 개발하였다. 개발된 강재-FRP 합성단면 구조재와 코너연결재를 결합하여 프레임을 형성하고 그 사이에 투명패널을 삽입함으로써 길이 4m, 높이 1m 투명방음판 시작품을 완성하였으며, 이렇게 완성된 투명방음판 시작품을 대상으로 KS 4770-1 구조성능 평가시험을 수행하였다. 한국도로공사 교량부 시험하중에 대해 설계된 강재-FRP 합성단면 프레임 투명방음판의 구조성능 평가결과, FRP 의 추가적인 구조강성 증가 효과로 인해 한국도로공사 교량부 시험하중을 약간 상회하는 KS 2 호 등급시험하중까지도 만족시키고 있음을 확인할 수 있었다.

An experimental study of composite beam with perforated fiber reinforced polymer(FRP) plank as a permanent formwork and the tensile reinforcement was performed. A combined formwork and reinforcement system can facilitate rapid construction of concrete members since no conventional formwork is needed, which requires time consuming assembly and dismantling. In order for a smooth FRP plank to act compositely with the concrete, the surface of the FRP needs to be treated to increase its bond properties. Aggregates were bonded to the FRP plank using a commercially available epoxy and perforated web of plank. No additional flexural or shear reinforcement was provided in the beams. For comparison, two control specimens were tested. One control had no perforated hole in the web of FRP plank and the other had internal steel reinforcing bars instead of the FRP plank. The beams were loaded by central patch load to their ultimate capacity. This study demonstrates that the perforated FRP plank has the potential to serve as a permanent formwork and reinforcing for concrete beam.

In order to study ultimate flexure behavior of FRP-concrete composite structures which can replace reinforced concrete structures, ABAQUS, a general purpose analysis program, was utilized for numerical nonlinear analysis of structural performance and behavior characteristics of FRP-concrete composite beams. Explicit nonlinear finite element analysis was conducted and the numerical results were compared with previous experiments. Concrete damaged plasticity model was adopted as material properties of concrete and Euro code was used as compressive stress state. Nonlinear analysis was performed for four different types of FRP-concrete composite beams, and ultimate load and cracking pattern was compared and analyzed. The model suggested in this research was able to simulate ultimate load and cracking pattern properly, it is expected to be utilized in study of precise structural and behavioral characteristics of various FRP-concrete composite structures.

In this study, the performance of a steel-FRP composite bridge safety barrier was evaluated through vehicle crash simulation. Surface veil, DB and Roving fibers were used for FRP. The MAT58 material model provided by LS-DYNA software was used to model FRP material. Spot weld option was used for modeling contact between steel and FRP beam. The structural strength performance, the passenger protection performance, and the vehicle behavior after crash were evaluated corresponding to the vehicle crash manual. As the result, A steel-FRP composite safety barrier was satisfied with the required performance.

We perform an experimental study of concrete beam with pultruded fiber reinforced polymer(FRP) plank using as a permanent formwork and the tensile reinforcement. A satisfactory bond at the interface between the smooth surface of the pultruded plank and the concrete must be developed for the FRP plank and the concrete to act as a composite structural member. Two kinds of aggregate were bonded to the FRP plank using a commercially available epoxy. No additional flexural or shear reinforcement was provided in the beams. For comparison we test two types of control specimen. One control did not have any aggregate bonded to the FRP plank and the other control had infernal steel reinforcing bars instead of the FRP plank. The beams were loaded by central patch load to their ultimate capacity. The experimental results were compared to current ACI 318 (2005) and ACI 440 (2006) code predictions. This study demonstrates that the FRP plank has the potential to serve as formwork and reinforcing for concrete structures.

In this paper, we persent the results of on experimental investigations pertaining to the structural behavior of new type of concrete filled fiber reinforced plastic circular tubes (i.e., hybrid CFFT, HCFFT) which are suggested in order to mitigate the problems associated with the concrete filled steel-concrete composite tube (CFT) and the concrete filled fiber reinforced plastic tube (CFFT). It is found that when the HCFFT is used in the construction of pile foundation the HCFFT pile can transfer axial as well as flexural loads from the superstructure to the underground effectively in comparison with CFT and CFFT piles.

The interaction of the ground deformation and composite piles, which is made of fiber glass, was analyzed for the effective pile application under vertical loads. This study was performed to conduct experimentation test and propose the material characteristics of the new type concrete injection circular FRP pile for the improvement of the defect of CFFT-Concrete composition piles and FRP-Concrete composition piles(FRP reinforced column direction). Additionally, in order to analyze the behaviour characteristics of composite pile and steel pile the numerical analyses were carried out.

본 논문에서는 재료적 성능이 우수하며 경량재료로서 최근 건설구조물에 활용하고자 하는 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있는 섬유보강재료(FRP : Fiber Reinforced Polymer)를 이용한 합성구조인 CFFT(Concrete Filled FRP Tube)의 설계프로그램을 개발하여 제안하고자 하였다. 먼저, CFFT구조는 FRP관에 의해 철근콘크리트가 구속되는 구조로서 기둥과 같이 축력이 도입되는 경우 포아송효과에 의한 변형을 FRP관이 구속효과를 줌으로써 콘크리트의 역학적 거동을 개선하게 되는데 본 연구에서는 실험에 의해 검증된 식을 제시하였으며 이를 바탕으로 CFFT구조를 설계하는 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 또한 CFFT구조는 FRP관의 구속으로 인해 고강도콘크리트와 긴장재의 도입이 가능한 구조로서 이에 대한 설계도 포함하였다. 그러나 이방성재료인 FRP의 설계와 동시에 FRP관에 의한 구속효과를 고려하는 CFFT구조의 설계는 일반 실무설계자들에게는 다소 난해한 작업으로써 전산화 설계프로그램의 필요성이 대두되어 본 연구에서 CFFT구조의 설계프로그램을 개발하였다. 개발된 설계프로그램의 검증을 위해 일반 철근콘크리트기둥, CFFT기둥, 고강도콘크리트와 PS긴장재를 도입한 CFFT기둥을 설계한 결과, 매우 실용적이며 타당한 설계가 수행될 수 있음을 확인하였다.

In this paper, new type CFFT (Concrete Filled FRP Tube) was suggested in order to improve the flexural stiffness. Since the existing CFFT was produced by filament winding process, re-bar for concrete may be necessary in order to ensure structural safety under flexure re-bar. In comparison with existing type CFFT, new type CFFT was reinforced by circular shaped pultrusion FRP without re-bar. Filament winding FRP was attached to the outer layer of pultrusion FRP. Structural behavior of new type CFFT filled with concrete (HCFFT) was investigated by the mechanical property test for the component element and the FE analysis. Furthermore, compressive strength of the HCFFT member based on the equation suggested in previous studies.
