Flange and web local buckling in beam plastic hinge regions of steel moment frames can prevent beam-column connections from achieving adequate plastic rotations under earthquake-induced forces. This threat is especially valid for existing steel moment frame buildings with beams that lack adequate flange/web slenderness ratios. As the use of fiber reinforced polymers (FRP) have increased in strengthening and repair of steel members in recent years, using FRPs in stabilizing local instabilities have also attracted attention. Previous computational studies have shown that longitudinally oriented glass FRP (GFRP) strips may serve to moderately brace beam flanges against the occurrence of local buckling during plastic hinging. An experimental study was conducted at Izmir Institute of Technology investigating the effects of GFRP reinforcement on local buckling behavior of existing steel I-beams with flange slenderness ratios (FSR) exceeding the slenderness limits set forth in current seismic design specifications and modified by a bottom flange triangular welded haunch. Four European HE400AA steel beams with a depth/width ratio of 1.26 and FSR of 11.4 were cyclically loaded up to 4% rotation in a cantilever beam test set-up. Both bare beams and beams with GFRP sheets were tested in order to investigate the contribution of GFRP sheets in mitigating local flange buckling. Different configurations of GFRP sheets were considered. The tests have shown that GFRP reinforcement can moderately mitigate inelastic flange local buckling.

This paper presents the results of axial pressure testing on reinforced concrete columns (RCCs) filled with confined normal concrete (NC) and high-strength concrete (HSC) using glass-fiber reinforced plastic pipes (GRP) casing as well as fiber reinforced polymer (FRP). This study aims to evaluate the behavior and mechanical properties of columns confined with GRP casing and FRP wrapping under pressure loads. The major parameters in the experiments were the type of concrete, the effect of GRP casing and FRP wrapping, as well as the number of FRP layers. 12 cylindrical RCCs (150*600) mm were prepared and divided into two groups, NC and HSC, and each group was divided into two parts. In each part, one column was without FRP strengthening layer, a column was wrapped with one FRP layer and another column with two FRP layers. All columns were tested under concentrated compression load. The results of the study showed that the utilization of FRP wrapping and GRP casing improved compression capacity and ductility of RCCs. The addition of one and two layers-FRP wrapping increased compression capacity in the NC group to an average of 18.5% and 26.5% and to an average of 10.2% and 24.8% in the HSC group. Meanwhile, the utilization of GRP casing increased the compression capacity of the columns by 4 times in the NC group and 3.38 times in the HSC group. The results indicated that although both FRP wrapping and GRP casing result in confinement, the GRP casing resulted in increased compression capacity and ductility of the RCCs due to higher confinement. Furthermore, the confinement effect was higher on columns made with NC.

최근에 FRP보강 그라우팅 공법이라 불리는 보강공법이 터널 및 절취사면의 지반보갓 분야에 도입되어 적용이 확대되고 있다. FRP관은 부식 및 화학적 내성이 우수하고 무게에 비하여 강도가 우수하여 취급이 용이하여 기존의 터널 보강재인 강재의 좋은 대체품이 될 수 있다. 그러나 FRP관이 터널의 막장 및 천단부의 보강재로서 적용성을 입증하기 위해서는 보강재 및 보강지반에 대한 역학적 강도특성이 명확하게 평가되어야 한다. 따라서, 본 논문은 지반보강 메카니즘을 고려한 FRP관을 이용한 그라우트체 및 그라우팅 보강지반에 대한 전단특성을 평가하기 위하여 실내에서 그라우트체에 대한 양면 전단시험과 보강지반에 대한 직접전단시험을 실시하였다. 시험결과 FRP 그라우트 보강지반의 전단저항은FRP관의 전단강도에 크게 의존하며 FRP그라우트체의 자체 전단저항은 어느 정도 전단변위가 커진 후에 발휘되는 것으로 확인되었다.

Direct Current Fiber Reinforced Plastic (DC FRP) insulators were developed and their mechanical and electrical characteristics were investigated. Electrical tests were carried out to measure withstanding and flashover voltages under common use frequency condition. Tensile and bending tests were performed for the mechanical characteristics. The test results showed that DC FRP insulators had superior voltage resistances and strengths to porcelain insulators.

Despite many advantages of FRP materials, such as corrosion resistance, their linear elastic behavior up to rupture is likely to result in a lack of ductility. This paper discusses ductility improvement methods for prestressed concrete beams using FRP tendons. The methods were evaluated thorough extensive analytical and experimental investigations. The methods include optimization of sectional ductility through proper reinforcement, concrete confinement, concrete reinforcement with fibers, and prestressing with unbonded tendons.

본 논문은 복합재료 패널로 보강된 철근 콘크리트 보의 휨 실험과 해석을 통하여 패널의 보강효과에 대하여 알아보고자 한다. FRP 복합재료 패널은 전통적인 재료인 강재와 콘크리트에 비해 단위 무게당 강도 및 강성이 크고 부식에 대한 높은 저항성, 절연성, 고내구성 및 낮은 열전도성 등 우수한 물성으로 유지관리 측면에서 매우 유리하여 최근 많은 연구가 이루어지고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 범용 유한요소 해석 프로그램인 ABAQUS를 이용하여 복합재료 패널로 보강된 철근 콘크리트 보의 극한 하중을 예측하고 실험을 수행하여 그 보강효과에 대한 고찰하였다. 복합재료 패널은 복합재료 패널 층의 유리섬유직조 형태에 따라 LT, DB, DBT로 구분하고 복합재료 패널의 층 개수에 따라 2ply, 3ply로 구분하였다. 실험을 수행한 결과, 해석과 일치하였으며 복합재료 패널로 보강한 철근 콘크리트 보가 극 한강도 측면에서 효율적이었다는 결론도 얻었다.

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.

선박에 부착된 수중생물은 선체에서 성장하면서 선박의 저항을 크게 증가시킬 뿐만 아니라 부착생물이 배와 함께 이동하면서 지역의 해양 생태계 교란을 야기시키기도 한다. 이에 따라 국제해사기구에서는 선체부착생물의 이동을 막기 위해 선체부착생물 제거 및 청소성능 평가 논의를 시작해 오고 있다. 본 연구에서는 소형선박에 사용되는 FRP(Fiber Reinforced Plastic), HDPE((High Density Polyethylene), CFRP(Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic) 재료의 시편을 격포항(전락북도)에 약 80일간 양생시킨 후 물 제트 노즐을 이용하여 부착생물 제거실험을 수행하였다. 그 결과 김과 같은 해조류는 노즐과 시편과의 거리가 1.8cm, 100bar 일 때 제거되었지만, 따개비의 경우 200 bar 이상은 되어야 청소가 되는 것을 확인하였다.

In this study, the nature of brittleness, one of the main problems of GFRP(Glass Fiber Reinforced Plastic) Re-bar, is improved. Therefore, Hybrid GFRP Rod is developed by attaching FBG sensor to the new GFRP Rod with toughness, essential for flexural reinforcement of the concrete. The test was performed with specimens of Hybrid GFRP Rod. According to the test, data measured by electric gauge sensor are compared with data measured by FBG sensor.
