FRP 보강근은 철근부식의 근본적인 대책으로서 높은 인장강도와 내부식성이 우수한 재료이다. 그러나 낮은 탄성계수로 인해 부재의 처짐 및 균열이 철근콘크리트를 사용한 부재에 비하여 크게 발생하는 문제점이 있으며, 취성적인 성질로 인하여 파괴가 급격히 발생할 우려가 있다. 이러한 FRP 보강근을 구조부재에 사용하기 위해서는 기존의 철근콘크리트 부재설계와는 다른 개념이 필요하며, 이미 구조부재에 FRP 보강근을 사용하고 있는 외국의 경우 기존의 FRP 보강근을 사용한 구조부재의 설계를 위한 제안식들은 실험에 의한 계수의 추가 등으로 철근콘크리트 구조설계식을 수정하는 형태로서 제안되어지고 있다. 그러나 이러한 방법은 설계식을 복잡하게 하며, 철근콘크리트와 다른 FRP 보강근의 특성을 적절히 반영하고 있다고 할 수 없다. 또한, 기존의 설계식의 수정된 형태에서는 하중저감계수와 같은 안전계수(safety factor)를 제안하고 있으나, 정확한 신뢰성레벨은 알지 못하며, 실험에 의한 경험적 값의 성격이 강하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 FRP bar를 사용한 보의 불확실성을 조사하고, FRP bar를 사용한 부재의 신뢰성지수를 평가하였다.

염해에 노출이 심한 구조물이나 교량의 상판의 보강철근 부식으로 인한 콘크리트 구조물의 구조성능 및 내구성능의 저하가 큰 문제로 대두되고 있다. 이에 최근 활발히 연구가 진행 중인 섬유보강근(Fiber Reinforced Polymer Bar, 이하 FRP 보강근)은 높은 화학적 내구성, 고강도, 경량성 등에 의하여 철근을 대체할 콘크리트 보강재로 그 가치를 인정받아 미국, 유럽, 캐나다 등에서는 이미 FRP 보강근의 설계지침서가 발표되었다. 하지만 아직 FRP 보강근을 이형철근과 같이 높은 신뢰성을 가지는 보강재로 사용하기에는 파악해야할 구조적 문제가 많이 있는데 그 중 하나가 콘크리트와의 부착성능이다. FRP 보강근의 부착성능은 콘크리트 압축강도에 크게 영향을 받는 이형철근과 달리 섬유종류, 외피 표면 상태 등 여러 가지 요소에 의한 복합적 영향을 받는 부착특성을 보인다. 이에 본 연구에서는 외피 표면 상태, 콘크리트 압축강도, 반복하중 작용 등을 변수로 하는 GFRP 보강근으로 보강된일 방향 인장-인발 시편의 부착실험을 통하여 GFRP 보강근의 부착특성을 관찰하고자 하였다. 실험 결과 콘크리트 압축강도의 증가에 따라 GFRP 보강근의 부착강도는 증가하였으며 반복하중의 작용에 의하여 단조하중에서의 부착강도에 비하여 GFRP 보강근의 부착강도는 감소하는 결과를 보였다.

FRP bar를 철근 대체제로 활용하기 위해서는 설계 기준의 확립이 시급하나 국내에서는 이 소재에 대한 기초 연구가 부족한 상황이다. 그러므로 2차에 걸쳐 전단보강이 없는 18개의 FRP RC와 4개의 기존 RC 실험체의 거동을 관찰하였다. 1차 실험은 휨 파괴 거동과 사용성 항목의 계측 자료 수집을 목적으로 시작되었다. 휨파괴를 유도하기 위하여 전단배근을 강화하는 대신 그로 인한 거동의 불확실성을 배제하기 위하여 전단지간비만을 조정하여 휨파괴를 유도하고, 전단배근을 사용하지 않기로 하였다. 실험 결과 거의 모든 실험체는 전단파괴 되었으며 실험계획에 적용한 ACI 440.1R과 CSA S806의 전단 강도식이 실제와 큰 편차가 있음을 확인하였다. 1차 실험의 결과를 근거로 2차 실험에서는 전단파괴거동을 집중적으로 관찰하였다. 표준 실험체의 제원은 길이 3,300 mm폭 ${\times}$ 800 mm ${\times}$ 유효깊이 200 mm, 순지간 2,800 mm, 전단지간 1,200 mm로 전단지간비는 6.0이며, 단순지지 조건으로 4점 재하실험을 수행하였다. 검토 변수에는 콘크리트 압축강도, 보강근의 종류 및 탄성계수, 전단지간비, 유효보강비, 다발 배근의 영향, 피복두께의 영향이 포함된다.

This study evaluates the concrete shear strength for normal and high strength concrete beams reinforced with 3 type FRP bars (CFRP, GFRP, HFRP). Experimental results obtained from twenty-four simply supported concrete beams are compared with values predicted by FRP shear strength expressions proposed in the various literatures, including the ACI Committee 318 and ACI Committee440. The shear strength correction factors are proposed through the regression analysis.

FRP reinforcing bars(rebars) are produced through a variety of manufacturing process includes pultrusion, and filament winding and braiding etc. Each manufacturing method produces a different surface condition of FRP rebar. The surface properties of FRP rebar is an important property for mechanical bond with concrete. Current methods of providing surface deformation to FRP rebars include helical wrapping, surfaces and coating and rib molding. The problem with the helical wrapping method is that it can not provide enough surface deformation for good bond and it can be easily sheard off from the FRP rebars. Sand coating and rib molding provide surface deformation only to the outer FRP skins. Therefore, FRP rebar has about 60% of bond strength of steel rebar. The main objective was to evaluate the bond properties of FRP rebar after environmental exposure. Five types of FRP rebar includes CFRP ISO, GFRP Aslan, AFRP Technora CFRP(Korea), and GFRP(Korea) rebars performed direct bond tests. Also, FRP rebar bond specimens were subjected to exposure conditions including alkaline solution, acid solution, salt solution and deionized water etc. According to bond test results, CFRP(Korea) and CFRP(Korea) rebars were found to have better bond strength with concrete than previous FRP rebars. Also, FRP(Korea) rebar had more than about 70% in bond strength of steel rebar.

FRP rebar has low bond performance than steel rebar. Usually, FRP rebar has about 60% of bond strength of steel rebar. Without adequate bond to concrete, the full composite action between reinforcement and concrete matrix can not be achieved. Therefore, FRP rebars must also have surface deformations that provide good bond to concrete. The purpose of this research was decided an optimum surface deformation patterns through bond test of FRP rebar. Eighteen surface deformation patterns of FRP rebar with widely different geometries were investigated. Based on the test results, we established optimum surfale deformation pattern. Bond tests were performed for three types of surface deformation patterns of FRP rebar including sand coated rebar, ribbed rebar, and wrapped and sand coated rebar that commercially available, and two types of FRP rebar including CFRP, GFRP rebars that optimum surface deformation pattern is applied. According to bond test results, FRP rebars that optimum surface deformation pattern is applied were found to have better bond strength with concrete than currently using FRP rebar.

Recently, it is required to develop a monitoring technology that combines an FBG sensor as a means for continuously monitoring whether reinforcing effect of FRP is maintained on FRP reinforced structural members. However, most existing researches focus on the insertion of FBG sensors into bar-shaped FRPs, and there is insufficient study on the details strip-type FRPs combined with FBG sensors. Therefore, in this paper, it is studied to develop a reinforcement in which a FBG sensor is combined with a FRP strip. Especially, combination of FRP and FBG sensor. For this, a series of experiments were performed to find the adhesive strength of fiber-FRP-epoxy joints, the tensile strength of FBG sensor part with reflection-lattice, and the performance depending on the connection method of FRF and FBG sensor. As a result of the study, it was found that a minimum strength of $216.15N/mm^2$ is required for incorporating FBG sensors in FRP using epoxy. It is considered that the adhesion length of epoxy joints should be more than 50mm. When the FBG sensor is attached to the FRP strip as an epoxy, it is considered appropriate to use the complete attachment and the sensor non-attachment method.

Concrete structures may become vulnerable during their lifetime due to several reasons such as degradation of their material properties; design or construction errors; and environmental damage due to earthquake. These structures should be repaired or strengthened to ensure proper performance for the current service load demands. Several methods have been investigated and applied for the strengthening of reinforced concrete (RC) structures using various materials. Fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) reinforcement is one of the most recent type of material for the strengthening purpose of RC structures. The main objective of the present research is to identify the behavior of reinforced concrete slabs strengthened with FRP bars by using near surface mounted (NSM) technique. Validation study is conducted based on the experimental test available in the literature to investigate the accuracy of finite element models using LS-DYNA to present the behavior of the models. A parametric analysis is conducted on the effect of FRP bar diameters, number of grooves, groove intervals as well as width and height of the grooves on the flexural behavior of strengthened reinforced slabs. Performance of strengthening RC slabs with NSM FRP bars was confirmed by comparing the results of strengthening reinforced slabs with control slab. The numerical results of mid-span deflection and stress time histories were reported. According to the numerical analysis results, the model with three grooves, FRP bar diameter of 10 mm and grooves distances of 100 mm is the most ideal and desirable model in this research. The results demonstrated that strengthening of reinforced concrete slabs using FRP by NSM method will have a significant effect on the performance of the slabs.

This paper investigates the parameters that control the design of Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) reinforced concrete flexural members proportioned following the ACI 440.1R-06. It investigates the critical parameters that control the flexural design, such as the deflection limits, crack limits, flexural capacity, concrete compressive strength, beam span and cross section, and bar diameter, at various Mean-Ambient Temperatures (MAT). The results of this research suggest that the deflection and cracking requirements are the two most controlling limits for FRP reinforced concrete flexural members.

The present study is focused on instigation of the nonlinear mechanical behavior of reinforced concrete beams considering different types of FRP bars through nonlinear finite element simulations. To explore the impact of the FRP reinforcement type and geometry on the nonlinear mechanical behavior of reinforced beam, intensive parametric studies are carried out and discussed. Twenty models were carried out based on the finite element software (ABAQUS). The concrete damage plasticity model was considered. Four types of fiber polymer bars, CFRP, GFRP, AFRP and BFRP as longitudinal reinforcement for concrete beam were used. The validation of numerical results was confirmed by experimental as well as numerical results, then the parametric study was conducted to evaluate the effect of change in different parameters, such as bar diameter size, type of FRP bars and shear span length. All results were analyzed and discussed through, load-deflection diagram. The results showed that the use of FRP bars in rebar concrete beam improves the beam stiffness and enhance the ultimate load capacity. The load capacity enhanced in the range of (20.44-244.47%) when using different types of FRP bars. The load-carrying capacity of beams reinforced with CFRP is the highest one, beams reinforced with AFRP is higher than that reinforced with BFRP but beams reinforced with GFRP recorded the lowest load of capacity compered with other beams reinforced with FRP Bars.
