Although retrofitting and strengthening reinforced concrete (RC) columns by wrapping fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composites have become a popular technique in civil engineering, the study on reinforced high-strength concrete (HSC) columns is still not sufficient. The objective of these companion papers is to investigate the mechanical properties of reinforced HSC square columns confined by aramid FRP (AFRP) jackets under concentric compressive loading. In the part I of these companion papers, an experiment was conducted on 54 confined RC specimens and nine unconfined plain specimens, the considered parameters were the concrete strength, the thickness of AFRP jackets, and the form of AFRP wrapping. The experimental process and results are presented in detail. Subsequently, some discussions on the confinement effect, failure modes, strength, and ductility of the columns are carried out.

다축 응력 상태의 구속된 콘크리트는 구속되지 않은 콘크리트에 비해 강도가 크게 증가한다고 알려져 왔고, 많은 연구자들은 아직도 여러 분야에서 구속된 콘크리트에 대한 연구를 진행 중에 있다. 최근 FRP를 이용한 구속된 콘크리트에 대한 많은 연구가 진행 중에 있지만, FRP는 높은 강도에 비해 취성 재료여서 실제 구조물 적용에 많은 어려움이 있다. 본 연구에서는 높은 강도 및 연성을 갖는 강재로 구속된 콘크리트에 대하여 강재의 구속 강성이 콘크리트의 강도 증진 및 연성거동에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위해 51개의 시험체를 통해 비교 분석해 보았다. 이 실험을 통해 구속된 콘크리트의 강도 증진 효과 및 연성 거동이 뛰어나게 증가함을 확인하였다. 또한 실험 결과를 회귀분석하여 구속 강성이 콘크리트 응력-변형률 곡선에 미치는 영향을 고려한 CSS(원형 강재 구속 시험체)와 R4S(사각형 이방향 강재 구속 시험체)에 대한 응력-변형률 모델을 제안하였다.

횡방향철근에 의하여 구속된 기존의 철근콘크리트 부재를 섬유에 의하여 보수$\cdot$보강할 경우에 그 부재는 철근과 섬유에 의하여 동시에 구속된다. 이렇게 두 가지 재료에 의하여 복합구속된 콘크리트의 거동은 구속재료의 응력-변형률 곡선 및 구속압에 따라서 달라진다. 이 논문에서는 나선형철근과 섬유에 의하여 동시에 구속된 24개의 실린더 실험을 통하여 복합재료에 의하여 구속된 콘크리트의 거동을 분석하였다. 실험에 의하면 복합재료에 의하여 구속된 콘크리트의 거동은 한 가지 재료만에 의하여 구속된 콘크리트의 거동과 큰 차이를 나타냈다.

The objective of this experimental study is to evaluate the strengthening effects of concrete compression confined with Epoxy-boned compound fiber sheets. An analytical model is proposed to construct a stress-strain relationship for confined concrete. Test results are summarized as followed. While non-FRP lateral confinement specimens appeared sudden failure after shell concrete was torn off, specimens confined laterally with FRP were showed that their failure. Specially, Glass fiber lateral confined specimens occurred obviously increase ductility ability. Hence, concrete specimen with lateral confinement by Hi-carborn and Aramide. Glass fiber simultaneously can be increased in not only strength but also a lot of ductility ability.

This paper addresses the efficiency of thermal insulation layers applied to protect structural elements strengthened by fiber-reinforced polymers (FRP) in the case of fire event. The paper presents numerical modeling and nonlinear analysis of reinforced concrete (RC) columns externally strengthened by FRP and protected by thermal insulation layers when subjected to elevated temperature specified by standard fire tests, in order to predict their residual capacity and fire endurance. The adopted numerical approach uses commercial software includes heat transfer, variation of thermal and mechanical properties of concrete, steel reinforcement, FRP and insulation material with elevated temperature. The numerical results show good agreement with published results of full-scale fire tests. A parametric study was conducted to investigate the influence of several variables on the structural response and residual capacity of insulated FRP-confined columns loaded by service loads when exposed to fire. The residual capacity of FRP-confined RC column was affected by concrete grade and insulation material and was shown to improve substantially by increasing the concrete cover and insulation layer thickness. By increasing the VG insulation layer thickness 15, 32, 44, 57 mm, the loss in column capacity after 5 hours of fire was 30%, 13%, 7% and 5%, respectively. The obtained results demonstrate the validity of the presented approach for estimation of fire endurance and residual strength, as an alternative for fire testing, and for design of fire protection layers for FRP-confined RC columns.

Three series of 36 short square columns confined by wraps, full shells and partial shells were tested by varying the thickness of GFRP laminates. An assessment of the effectiveness of the existing model on confinement of concrete columns with FRP was made. Test results indicated moderate increases in strength, but significantly enhanced deformability compared with those in unconfined concrete, particularly the warp and full shell confinement.

최근에 노후화된 콘크리트 구조물의 보수 보강 방법으로 FRP를 이용한 보강이 효과적인 것으로 알려지고 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 FRP로 보강된 콘크리트 실린더의 거동을 실험적으로 조사하고자 하는 것이다. 실험 변수로는 콘크리트의 압축강도, FRP재료의 종류 및 구속비이다. 본 연구에서 아라미드, 탄소 및 유리섬유로 보강된 콘크리트의 성능을 압축강도 실험을 통한 연구 결과를 보이고 있다. 이를 위해 축방향 하중, 축방향 및 횡방향 변형률을 측정하였다. 본 연구를 통하여 콘크리트의 강도와 횡방향 변형률과 횡방향 구속응력의 비로 정의되는 구속비가 구속 콘크리트의 응력-변형률을 결정하는 주요 인자인 것으로 나타났다. FRP로 더 많은 보강을 한 실험체는 우수한 구속력으로 인한 강도의 증가를 야기하였다. 고강도 콘크리트의 경우 FRP에 의한 보강으로 구속력의 증가이 증가되더라도 실험체의 압축변형률이 감소하여 취성파괴의 경향을 보였다. 구속된 콘크리트의 파괴는 FRP 재료의 극한 변형률 보다 낮은 변형률에서 FRP의 파단으로 시작되어 콘크리트의 파괴에 도달하였다.

The analytical model capable of predicting stress vs. strain relations for circular FRP-confined concrete in a rational manner is proposed. The underlying idea is that the volumetric expansion due to progressive microcracking is an important measure of the extent of damage in the material microstructure. Various existing analytical models including the proposed were also investigated, and compared each other and with test results.

Damping as a material property plays an important role in decreasing dynamic response of structures. However, very little is known about the evaluation and application of the actual damping of Fiber Reinforced Polymer Confined Reinforced Concrete (FRP-C RC) material which is widely adopted in civil engineering at present. This paper first proposes a stress-dependent damping model for FRP-C RC material using a validated Finite Element Model (FEM), then based on this damping-stress relation, an iterative scheme is developed for the computations of the non-linear damping and dynamic response of FRP-C RC columns at any given harmonic exciting frequency. Numerical results show that at resonance, a considerable increase of the loss factor of the FRP-C RC columns effectively reduces the dynamic response of the columns, and the columns with lower concrete strength, FRP volume ratio and axial compression ratio or higher longitudinal reinforcement ratio have stronger damping values, and can relatively reduce the resonant response.

This paper describes a model on shear strength of RC columns strengthened with FRP sheets. In this study, we propose a confined concrete strength model of RC columns confined by transverse reinforcement as well as FRP sheet by introducing corresponding effective confinement coefficient for each confined concrete area. Then, a shear strength model of the confined RC columns is proposed by lower and upper bound limit analysis which are based on the truss-arch model theory and shear band failure theory, respectively. Along with shear test data obtained from strengthened column specimens, the developed analytical models are verified. The comparison shows that the proposed model can be used effectively for the prediction of both ultimate strength and required amount of strengthening in retrofit design for RC columns.
