This paper deals with the shear strengthening effect of RC beams strengthened with carbon fiber sheets. Fifteen strengthened RC beams(including control beam) were experimentally evaluated to determine improvements in shear strength. The major parmeters of experiment variables are fiber sheet strengthening ratios and strengthening methods of fiber sheet(I-S, I-W, U-S, U-W type). Reinforced concrete beams strengthened with carbon fiber sheets were tested under the combined control of load. Considering strengthening ratios and strengthening methods of fiber sheet, shear capacity and failure mode of test specimens were evaluated. The results show that shear capacity of beams strengthened with fiber sheet is about $28.82\%$ in IS type, $20.49\%$ in IW type, $26.04\%$ in US type, $28.70\%$ in UW type higher than the strength of control beam.

For finite analysis of concrete columns strengthened with glass fiber sheets, an effective concrete model which considers the confining effects by lateral reinforcement and glass fiber sheets is necessary. In this paper, the so-called elasto-plasticity and continuum fracture model (EPF model) is modified to consider high confining effects of strengthened reinforced concrete columns by introducing a simple correction factor ($\alpha$) which relates maximum lateral confining stress of the column to the evolution of deviatoric plasticity. Then, a finite element analysis is carried out for the strengthened reinforced concrete columns using the modified EPF model and equally spaced truss elements. It is shown that the, analysis predicts well the failure behavior of reinforced concrete columns strengthened with glass fiber sheets.

In this study, analysis and design programs of bending of RC beams strengthened with fiber sheets are developed by using Visual Basic Language. The program consists two groups, ultimate strength method and nonlinear flexural analysis method. Ultimate strength method regards concrete compressive stress as a rectangular stress block and do not consider tensile stress of concrete and load-deflection curves. On the other hand, nonlinear flexural analysis considers tensile stress of concrete, load-deflection curves, state of stress distribution and failure strain of strengthening material. Also, the analysis method used in this study regards nonlinear flexural stress as compressive stress of concrete. This program can be a good tool for determining the bending strength of strengthened RC beams and estimating the amount of fiber sheets for practical use.

비닐용기 등에 주로 사용되는 PET 섬유는 강도는 아주 작은 반면, 변형성능에는 아주 우수하기 때문에 지진 발생시 구조물의 대변형에 효과적으로 저항할 수 있는 보강재료로 사용가능하며, 일본에서는 이미 PET 섬유를 이용한 연구를 진행하고 있는 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 PET(polyethylene terephthalate) 섬유의 횡구속 효과를 파악하고, PET 섬유의 보강효과와 기존에 사용해왔던 탄소섬유시트 및 유리섬유시트의 보강효과를 비교함으로써 PET 섬유의 현장적용성 여부를 파악하기 위한 것이다. 이를 위해 무근 콘크리트 공시체에 탄소섬유시트와 유리섬유시트 및 PET 섬유 등으로 구분하고 각각에 대해 콘크리트 강도와 보강겹수를 달리하여 실험체 별로 각각 2개씩 동일하게 제작하여 실험을 실시하였다. 실험결과, 탄소섬유시트 및 유리섬유시트로 보강된 실험체는 기존연구결과들과 마찬가지로 시트가 파단된 후 급격한 내력저하로 최종파괴 되었다. 그러나 PET로 보강한 실험체들은 PET 섬유가 파단되지 않고 최대 강도 이후 급격한 내력저하 없이 서서히 감소되면서 최종파괴 되었다. 또한, 탄소섬유시트 및 유리섬유시트로 보강한 실험체에 비해 강도증진 효과는 크지 않았으나, 연성측면에서는 매우 우수하게 나타나 향후 보강재료로 사용할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

As a relatively new type of multi-layered rubber-based seismic isolators, fiber-reinforced elastomeric isolators (FREIs) are composed of several thin rubber layers reinforced with flexible fiber sheets. Limited analytical studies in literature have pointed out that "warping" (distortion) of reinforcing sheets has significant influence on buckling behavior of FREIs. However, none of these studies, to the best knowledge of authors, has investigated their warping behavior, thoroughly. This study aims to investigate, in detail, the warping behavior of strip-shaped FREIs by deriving advanced analytical solutions without utilizing the commonly used "pressure", incompressibility, inextensibility and the "linear axial displacement variation through the thickness" assumptions. Studies show that the warping behavior of FREIs mainly depends on the (i) aspect ratio (shape factor) of the interior elastomer layers, (ii) Poisson's ratio of the elastomer and (iii) extensibility of the fiber sheets. The basic assumptions of the "pressure" method as well as the commonly used incompressibility assumption are valid only for isolators with relatively large shape factors, strictly incompressible elastomeric material and nearly inextensible fiber reinforcement.

Damaged steel-concrete composite girders can be repaired and retrofitted by epoxy-bonded carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) sheets to the critical areas of tension flanges. This paper presents the results of a study on the behavior of damaged steel-concrete composite girders repaired with CFRP sheets under static loading. A total of seven composite girders made of I20A steel sections and 80mm-thick by 900mm-wide concrete slabs were prepared and tested. CFRP sheets and prestressed CFRP sheets were used to repair the specimens. The specimens lost the cross-sectional area of their tension flanges with 30%, 50% and 100%. The results showed that CFRP sheets had no significant effect on the yield loads of strengthened composite girders, but had significant effect on the ultimate loads. The yield loads, elastic stiffness, and ultimate bearing capacities of strengthened composite girders had been changed as a result of prestressed CFRP sheets, the utilization ratio of CFRP sheets could be effectively improved by applying prestress to CFRP sheets. Both the yield loads and ultimate bearing capacities had been changed as a result of steel beam's flange damage level and CFRP sheets could cover the girders' shortage of bearing capacity with 30% and 50% flange damage, respectively.

The flexural behavior of a strengthened beam that is a reinforced concrete beam with externally bonded carbon fiber sheets, is theoretically and experimentally investigated. A rectangular beam having a width of 20cm depth of 30cm and effective depth of 25cm is chosen. In order to have a variety of beams analyzed, three reinforcement ratios are chosen for the analysis: 1)$\frac{1}{2}$$\rho$$_{max}$, which is the most suitable reinforcement ratio for deflection consideration and the highest reinforcement ratio for practical designing beams as well; 2)$\rho$$_{max}$, which is the lowest reinforcement ratio for design purposes; and 3)the reinforcement ratio halfway from 1) and 2). Carbon fiber sheets with width of 15cm are externally bonded at the bottom fiber of the beam. The effect of the amount of carbon fiber sheets varying from 1 to 4 plies on the flexural capacity of the strengthened beam are also examined. Yield loads, ultimate loads, and flexural rigidities of the strengthened beam from the experimental results are composed with theoretical ones.nes.

The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between Barcol hardness (H) and flexural modulus (E) degradation of composite sheets subjected to flexural fatigue. The resin transfer molding (RTM) method was used to produce 3-mm-thick composite sheets with fiber volume fraction of 44%. The composite sheets were subjected to flexural fatigue tests and Barcol scale hardness measurements. After these tests, the stiffness and hardness degradations were investigated in the composite sheets that failed after around one million cycles (stage III). Flexural modulus degradation values were in the range of 0.41-0.42 with the corresponding measured hardness degradation values in the range of 0.25-0.32 for the all fatigued composite sheets. Thus, a 25% reduction in the initial hardness and a 41% reduction in the initial flexural modulus can be taken as the failure criteria. The results showed that a reasonably well-defined relationship between Barcol hardness and flexural modulus degradation in the distance range.

The effectiveness of shear strengthening with glass fiber sheets on normal or low strength RC beams have been investigated experimentally. A design compressive strength of concrete of 13.5MPa has been planned considering the degradation state of the existing structure to be strengthened in this study. Also, concrete surface reinforcing agent was applied to increase bond capacity between concrete and GFRP sheets in case of low strength RC beams. Comparing the test results of low and normal strength beams strengthened with GFRP sheets indicated that total shear capacity of beams was decreased with concrete strength decreased, but the shear strengthening capacity of GFRP sheets are hardly affected by concrete strength. In addition, shear strengthening effects of RC beams strengthened with GFRP sheets can be estimated by $\rho_w{\cdot}f_w$ based on the maximum effective strain of FRP sheet proposed by ACI 440.2R recommendation.

본 연구는 철근콘크리트 기둥에 탄소섬유쉬트를 보강하고 일정축력(0.35$P_o$)을 가한 상태에서 정, 부반복 횡가력을 실시하여 탄소섬유쉬트의 보강효과를 검증하기 위한 것으로, 탄소섬유쉬트의 보강배수에 따른 보강효과의 차이, 손상을 받은 시둥을 보수후 탄소섬유쉬트를 보강한 경우와 손상을 받지 않은 기둥에 탄소섬유쉬트를 보강한 경우의 거동의 차이를 실험을 통해 검증하였다. 탄소섬유쉬트의 보강매수는 2매와 3매 2종류에 관해 검토하였으며 보강매수에 따른 차이는 에너지 흡수능력에서 약간의 차이를 보일뿐 최대내력, 강성저하율 등에 있어서는 비슷한 거동을 나타내었다. 최대내력의 80% 수준까지 내력저하가 발생하도록 사전가력하여 탄소섬유쉬트를 보강한 기둥과 전혀 손상을 주지 않은 기둥에 탄소섬유쉬트를 보강한 기둥의 거동은, 손상을 준 기둥의 초기강성만이 탄소섬유 쉬트를 보강하지 않은 기둥에 비해 저하하나, 최대내격, 에너지 흡수능력, 연성등에 있어서는 무보강실험체에 비해 우수한 성능을 나타내었으며, 따라서 전체적으로 지진등으로 상당한 손상을 입은 기둥이라도 손상부 보수 후 탄소섬유쉬트로 보강하면 상당한 성능의 향상을 기할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 보강매수에 따라 내력증진효과는 2매보강(${\rho}_{cf}$=0.44%)과 3매 보강(${\rho}_{cf}$=0.66%)의 경우 큰 차이가 없는 것으로 나타났다.
