본 논문은 철근의 이형과 유사한 표면성형을 갖는 GFRP 보강근의 콘크리트와의 부착성능을 실험과 해석을 통하여 고찰하였다. 이형을 갖는 GFRP 보강근의 경우 표면성형의 낮은 전단강성 및 강도로 인해 표면이형의 전 높이가 부착에 기여하지는 않은 것으로 알려지고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 콘크리트와의 부착성능에 직접적으로 기여하는 보강근의 유효이형높이를 실험과 해석을 통하여 고찰하였다.

Continuous concrete beams are commonly used as structural members in the reinforced concrete constructions. The use of fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) bars provide attractive solutions for these structures particularly for gaining corrosion resistance. This paper presents experimental results of eight two-span continuous concrete beams; two of them reinforced with pure glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars and six of them reinforced with combinations of GFRP and steel bars. The continuous beams were tested under monotonically applied loading condition. The experimental load-deflection behavior and failure mode of the continuous beams were examined. In addition, the continuous beams were analyzed with a numerical method to predict the load-deflection curves and to compare them with the experimental results. Results show that there is a good agreement between the experimental and the theoretical load-deflection curves of continuous beams reinforced with pure GFRP bars and combinations of GFRP and steel bars.

The bond between the concrete and bar is a main factor affecting the performance of the reinforced concrete (RC) members, and since the steel corrosion reduces the bond strength, studying the bond behavior of concrete and GFRP bars is quite necessary. In this research, a database including 112 concrete beam test specimens reinforced with spliced GFRP bars in the splitting failure mode has been collected and used to estimate the concrete-GFRP bar bond strength. This paper aims to accurately estimate the bond strength of spliced GFRP bars in concrete beams by applying three soft computing models including multivariate adaptive regression spline (MARS), Kriging, and M5 model tree. Since the selection of regularization parameters greatly affects the fitting of MARS, Kriging, and M5 models, the regularization parameters have been so optimized as to maximize the training data convergence coefficient. Three hybrid model coupling soft computing methods and genetic algorithm is proposed to automatically perform the trial and error process for finding appropriate modeling regularization parameters. Results have shown that proposed models have significantly increased the prediction accuracy compared to previous models. The proposed MARS, Kriging, and M5 models have improved the convergence coefficient by about 65, 63 and 49%, respectively, compared to the best previous model.

본 논문은 철근대체재로서 유리섬유보강 플라스틱봉(GFRP : Glass Fiber Reinforced Plastic Bar)으로 보강한 콘크리트 보 및 일반 RC보의 휨파괴 실험결과를 비교하여 제시한 것으로 보강비와 콘크리트의 압축강도를 주요 실험변수로 설정하여 보의 균열발생 양상과 파괴모우드, 처짐, 변형률 및 최대하중을 측정하고 분석하였다. 실험결과, GFRP 보강보의 하중강도는 보강비와 콘크리트 강도가 증가할수록 크게 나타났으며, 동일 보강비일 경우 일반 RC보에 비하여 41.3~51.6% 증가하였다. GFRP 보강보의 처짐은 일반 RC보에 비하여 약 4.1~6.3배 증가하는 것으로 나타났으며, 실측처짐이 이론값보다 평균 31% 정도 작게 나타나 GFRP 보의 처짐계산시 사용되는 휨강성이 최대하중시 과소평가되기 때문인 것으로 판단된다. GFRP 보의 균열폭은 RC보에 비하여 1.87~2.79배 크게 발생하였으며, 보강비와 콘그리트 강도가 증가할수록 다소 작은 것으로 나타났다. ACI code 440에 의해 산정한 설계휨강도는 대체적으로 안전측의 값을 나타내었다.

Glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars gain increasingly more attention as a reinforcing option for concrete because of their corrosion resistance and non-magnetism. GFRP reinforcement for concrete does not have the same shape as steel reinforcement. Therefore, the bond performance of FRP bars, unlike that of steel, is dependent on their design, manufacture and mechanical properties. This paper studied the effect of high strength concrete on the bond strength of GFRP bars. Twenty-nine specimens having different compressive strength of concrete were tested in order to examine the bond behavior of GFRP bars.

This paper presents flexural test results of concrete beams reinforced with GFRP and conventional steel reinforcement for comparison. The beams were tested under static loading to investigate the effects of reinforcement ratio and compressive ,strength of concrete on cracking, deflection, ultimate capacity and mode of failure, This study attempts to establish a theoretical basis for the development of simple and rational design guideline. Test results show that ultimate capacity increases as the reinforcement ratio and concrete strength increase. The ultimate capacity increased up to $8\%-25\%$ by using high strength concrete. The deflection at maximum load of GFRP reinforced beams was about three times that of steel reinforced beams. For GFRP-reinforced beams, the ACI code 440 design method resulted in conservative flexural strength -estimates.

세굴방지, 하천사면보호, 하상구조물보호 등을 위해 국내에서는 프리캐스트 콘크리트 블록이 주로 사용되고 있다. 그러나 이러한 콘크리트 블록은 항상 물 또는 습윤한 환경에 접하게 되므로 내부보강재로 사용된 철근에 부식이 발생될 확률이 높으며 이로 인해 블록의 성능과 내구성이 크게 감소될 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 내부보강재를 GFRP 보강근으로 대체하여 철근부식에 따른 성능저하문제를 근본적으로 해결하고자 하였으며, 콘크리트 블록에 사용되는 콘크리트에는 순환골재와 조강시멘트를 적용하여 현장적용성을 높이고자 하였다. 실험결과 조강시멘트를 사용한 순환골재콘크리트는 기존 콘크리트에 비해 작업성과 탈형강도는 유사하였으며, 재령 28일 압축강도는 약 18% 증가되었다. 하중저항성능을 측정한 결과, GFRP 보강근이 적용된 순환골재콘크리트 블록은 기존 콘크리트 블록에 비해 약 10~30%의 하중저항성능이 향상되는 것으로 측정되었다.

This paper presents the results of an experimental study on the structural performance of an innovative GFRP-concrete composite beam construction, which is reinforced with longitudinal GFRP pultruded box-profile and transverse steel stirrups. GFRP perfobond (PBL) shear connectors are employed to enhance the bonding performance between the GFRP profile and the concrete portion. To investigate the shear and flexural performance of this composite system, eight specimens were designed and tested under three-point and four-point bending. The main variables were the height of the composite beam and the shear span-to-depth ratio. The test results indicated that bonding cracks did not occur at the interface between the GFRP profile and the concrete until the final stage of the test. This shows that the specimens performed well as composite beams during the test and that the GFRP PBL connectors were reliable. Based on the test results, two calculation methods were used to determine the flexural and shear capacity of the composite beams. A comparative study of the test and theoretical results suggests that the proposed methods can reasonably predict both the flexural and shear capacities of the specimens, whereas the provisions of ACI 440 are relatively conservative on both counts.

A GFRP-concrete composite bridge deck is presented in this paper. This composite deck is composed of concrete and a GFRP plate and is connected by GFRP perfobond (PBL) shear connectors with penetrating GFRP rebar. There are many outstanding advantages in mechanical behavior, corrosion resistance and durability of this composite deck over conventional reinforced concrete decks. To analyze the shear and flexural performance of this GFRP-concrete composite deck, a static loading experiment was carried out on seven specimens. The failure modes, strain development and ultimate bearing capacity were thoroughly examined. Based on elastic theory and strain-based theory, calculation methods for shear and flexural capacity were put forward and revised. The comparison of tested and theoretical capacity results showed that the proposed methods could effectively predict both the flexural and shear capacity of this composite deck. The ACI 440 methods were relatively conservative in predicting flexural capacity and excessively conservative in predicting shear capacity of this composite deck. The analysis of mechanical behavior and the design method can be used for the design of this composite deck and provides a significant foundation for further research.

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.
