Fiber reinforced plastic (FRP) composites and ceramic matrix composites (CMC) which contain electrically conductive phases have been designed and fabricated to introduce the detection capability of damage/fracture detection into these materials. The composites were made electrically conductive by adding carbon and TiN particles into FRP and CMC, respectively. The resistance of the conductive FRP containing carbon particles showed almost linear response to strain and high sensitivity over a wide range of strains. After each load-unload cycle the FRP retained a residual resistance, which increased with applied maximum stress or strain. The FRP with carbon particles embedded in cement (mortar) specimens enabled micro-crack formation and propagation in the mortar to be detected in situ. The CMC materials exhibited not only sensitive response to the applied strain but also an increase in resistance with increasing number of load-unload cycles during cyclic load testing. These results show that it is possible to use these composites to detect and/or fracture in structural materials, which are required to monitor the healthiness or safety in industrial applications and public constructions.

본 연구에서는 탄소섬유로 보강된 콘크리트의 전기저항 변화를 모니터링하는 방법에 의해, 콘크리트의 파괴에 대한 자가진단 적용 특성을 검토하였다. 미분쇄 탄소섬유와 코크스 분체로 구성된 신형 리브재가 포함된 CFGFRP (탄소섬유 유리섬유 강화 플라스틱)와 콘크리트 보강용 CF(탄소섬유) 시트에 휨 하중 재하 단계별로 하중을 가할 때 균열 또는 파괴가 발생하기 전후의 탄소섬유의 전기저항 변화를 조사하여, 각 인자의 관계특성(각 하중단계별 전기저항, 변형률, 처짐 등의 변화)을 분석하였다. 그 결과, 콘크리트 인장측 파괴시 탄소섬유 보강근, 신형 리브, 시트가 파괴될 때, 전기저항은 크게 증가하지만, CFGFRP의 경우는 그 후 하이브리드 FRP 재료 중 탄소섬유를 보강하고 있던 유리섬유가 나머지 추가 재하 하중에 저항할 수 있어 콘크리트 시험체의 전 파괴단계에까지는 이르지 않았다. 따라서 CFGFRP의 보강근과 신형 리브, CF시트는 FRP로 보강된 콘크리트의 파괴를 사전에 감지할 수 있는 자가진단 재료로서의 적용이 가능함을 알 수 있었다.

Fiber reinforced plastic (FRP) rods are used as reinforcement (prestressed or not) to concrete. FRP composites can also be combined with steel to form hybrid reinforcing rods that take advantage of the properties of both materials. In order to effectively utilize these rods, their bond behavior with concrete must be understood. The objective of this study is to characterize and model the bond behavior of hybrid FRP rods made with epoxy-impregnated aramid or poly-vinyl alcohol FRP skins directly braided onto a steel core. The model closely examines the split failure of the concrete by quantifying the relationship between slip of the rods resulting transverse stress field in concrete. The model is used to derive coefficients of friction for these rods and, from these, their development length requirements. More testing is needed to confirm this model, but in the interim, it may serve as a design aide, allowing intelligent decisions regarding concrete cover and development length. As such, this model has helped to explain and predict some experimental data from concentric pull-out tests of hybrid FRP rods.

Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) bar has emerged as a viable and sustainable replacement to steel in reinforced concrete (RC) under severe corrosive environment. The behavior of concrete columns reinforced with FRP bars, spirals, and hoops is an ongoing area of research. In this study, 3D nonlinear numerical modelling of circular concrete columns reinforced with Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) bars and transversely confined with GFRP spirals were conducted using fracture-plastic model. The numerical models and experimental results are found to be in good agreement. The effectiveness of confinement was accessed through von-mises stresses, and it was found that the stresses in the concrete's core are higher with a 30 mm pitch (46 MPa) compared to a 60 mm pitch (36 MPa). The validated models are used to conduct parametric studies. In terms of axial load carrying capacity and member ductility, the effect of concrete strength, spiral pitch, and longitudinal reinforcement ratio are thoroughly investigated. The confinement effect and member ductility of a GFRP RC column increases as the spiral pitch decreases. It is also found that the confinement effect and member ductility decreased with increase in strength of concrete.

본 연구에서는 사각형 모듈의 인발성형된 복합재료 바닥판의 휨 거동에 대한 해석 모델을 개발하였다. FRP 바닥판의 해석 모델은 FSDT 평판 이론을 기반으로 임의 적층각을 지닌 FRP 바닥판의 처짐을 예측할 수 있었다. 수치적 예제에서는 네 변이 단순 지지된 등분포 하중을 받는 사각형 모듈의 FRP 바닥판을 2차원 평판 유한 요소해석을 적용하여 수행하였고, 해석 결과에 대해서는 바닥판 길이-높이의 비와 화이버 각도의 변화에 따른 효과에 대해 역점을 두고 다루었다. 연구 결과, 본 연구에서 제안한 해석 모델이 FRP 바닥판의 휨 거동을 해석하고 예측하는데 효과적이고 정확하다는 것이 입증되었다. 또한, FRP 바닥판의 높이가 높아질수록 plate 해석 이론에 있어서 일차전단변형이론(First order Shear Deformable laminated plate Theory : FSDT)이 아닌 고차전단변형(Higher order Shear Deformable plate Theory : HSDT)의 필요성에 대해 언급하였다.

FRPs have been used widely and demonstrated in the field of aero industries etc., and began to be used as new construction materials of civil structures. Pre-stressing tendons, reinforcing bars etc. are all examples of the many diverse applications of FRP in new structures. Especially, 40 of all-FRP bridges were reported. The reason why FRP composites were used fur construction materials of civil structures, has been that the working time and the cost of maintenance can be reduced because of the effect of their lightness and durabilities. The purpose of this paper is to report the examples of the many diverse applications of Fiber Reinforced Plastic in construction materials of civil structures.

Prestressing steels are susceptible to corrosion, which is considered the major reason in the deterioration of prestressed concrete structures. To solve this problem, many research have been made to utilize new type of tendons. FRP tendons have many advantages compared to steel tendons. However, FRP tendons have some disadvantages, such as no plastic behavior. This study focused on the flexural behavior of prestresssed concrete beams which is fabricated by post-tensioning method with CFRP (Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic) tendons. Th results drawn from the study, prestressed concrete beams with CFRP tendons have higher flexural cracking load, flexural yielding load, and flexural fracture load. While displacement at the fracture stage is lower compared to prestressed concrete beams with steel tendon. Excessive steel reinforcement lead lower ductility index. So, appropriate reinforcement guideline is needed. Further more, prestressed concrete beams with CFRP tendons can have sufficient ductility index when ruptured by crushing of concrete or used unbonded tendon. Therefore, the best design method for prestressed concrete beams with CFRP tendons is over-reinforcement, and use of unbonded tendon.

This study was performed to evaluate the internal and external factors affecting external strength of the 3-layer polymer composite pipes made of polymer mortar and fiber-glass reinforced plastic. Twenty four sandwich type 3-layer polymer composite pipes were made of polymer mortar and fiber-glass reinforced plastic by centrifugal method. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects the of polymer mortar thickness for and core fiber-glass contents per unit area on external strength of 3-layer polymer composite pipes. For the more economical and practical design of 3-layer polymer composite pipe, further study should be done for the various polymer mortar, fiber-glass and different ratio of the inside/outside FRP thickness.

Fiber reinforced plastic (FRP) rods provide certain benefits over steel as concrete reinforcement, such as corrosion resistance, magnetic and electrical insulation, light weight, and high strength. FRP composites can be combined with a steel core to form hybrid reinforcing rods that take advantage of properties of both materials. The objective of this study was to characterize the bond behavior of hybrid FRP rods made with braided epoxy-impregnated aramid or poly-vinyl alcohol FRP skins. Eleven rod types were tested using two concrete strengths. Specific topics examined were bond strength, slip, and type of failure in concentric pull-out tests from concrete cubes. From analysis of identical pull-out tests on both hybrid and steel rods, information on relative bond strength and behavior were obtained. It is concluded that strength is similar but slip in hybrid rods is much higher. Hybrid rods failed either by pull-out or splitting the concrete block (with or without yielding of the steel core). Experimental data showed consistency with similar test results presented in the literature.

1990년대 이후, 중소형 폐 선박으로부터 생성되는 FRP를 재활용하기 위한 방법으로 층상으로 배열된 로빙층과 매트층을 분리하는 것은 친 환경적이면서도 경제적 재활용의 장점을 가지고 있다. 그러나 효율적으로 로빙층과 매트층을 분리하는 기술과 로빙층은 매트층에 비해 얇은 두께로 존재한다는 이유로 인해 로빙층을 매트층과 분리할 때 기계가 자동적으로 층간의 차이를 인식하는 방법은 아직 개발이 이루지지 않고 있다. 본 연구에서는 유리의 구성비가 다른 두 층의 화학적 성질의 차를 이용하여 광학적으로 층간 인식이 가능한 방법을 모색하였다. 또한 다양한 로빙층의 구성에도 자동적으로 절단위치를 분석하는 절단시스템과 최종생산물의 유용성을 확보할 수있는 다양한 크기의 유리섬유를 생산할 수있는 세단기를 개발하였다. 본 연구 결과로 광학적 인식기술과 유연한 절단기술 그리고 다양한 세단기술이 융합된 폐 FRP의 분리 공정의 단순화와 자동화를 달성하게 되었다.
