The use of local two-sided and three-sided jacketing for the repair and strengthening of reinforced concrete beam-column joints damaged by severe earthquakes is investigated experimentally and analytically. Two exterior beam-column joint specimens ($O_1$ and $O_2$) were submitted to a series of cyclic lateral loads to simulate severe earthquake damage. The specimens were typical of existing older structures built in the 1960s and 1970s. The specimens were then repaired and strengthened by local two-sided or three-sided jacketing according to UNIDO Manual guidelines. The strengthened specimens ($RO_1$ and $RO_2$) were then subjected to the same displacement history as that imposed on the original specimens. The repaired and strengthened specimens exhibited significantly higher strength, stiffness and better energy dissipation capacity than the original specimens.

The main objective of this study is to analytically investigate the effectiveness of different strengthening solutions in upgrading the seismic performance of existing reinforced concrete (RC) buildings in Nepal. For this, four building models with different structural configurations and detailing were considered. Three possible rehabilitation solutions were studied, namely: (a) RC shear wall, (b) steel bracing, and (c) RC jacketing for all of the studied buildings. A numerical analysis was conducted with adaptive pushover and dynamic time history analysis. Seismic performance enhancement of the studied buildings was evaluated in terms of demand capacity ratio of the RC elements, capacity curve, inter-storey drift, energy dissipation capacity and moment curvature demand of the structures. Finally, the seismic safety assessment was performed based on standard drift limits, showing that retrofitting solutions significantly improved the seismic performance of existing buildings in Nepal.

This paper introduced three new strengthening systems for isolated footings: BFRP wrapping system, CFRP wrapping system, and steel jacketing system. The proposed systems are more practical than the current traditional methods, which involves installing many dowel bars and splicing reinforcing steels to join new and old concrete segments. In the proposed three new systems, BFRP wraps, CFRP wraps, or steel jackets are installed on the exterior surface of the enlarged footing, with construction adhesive or a few steel dowels being applied to the contact surfaces. To investigate the effectiveness of three systems, forty-four models were constructed in ABAQUS, with different parameters being considered. All footings investigated failed in punching shear, including original and retrofitted footings. According to FEA results and parametric studies, the three strengthening systems were capable of improving the punching shear resistance of footings. By introducing a new factor η, the punching shear equation in Eurocode 2 was modified to predict the punching shear resistances of the strengthened footings. A linear formula was developed to present the relationship between the new factor η and the investigated parameters.

This paper aims to develop numerical models for seismically-deficient reinforced concrete columns retrofitted using a fiber-reinforced polymer jacketing system under blast loading scenarios. To accomplish the research goal, a coupling model reproducing blast loads was developed and implemented to the column model. The column model was validated with a past experimental study, and the blast responses were compared to the numerical responses produced by past researchers. The validated modeling method was implemented to the non-retrofitted and retrofitted column models to estimate the effectiveness of the retrofit system. Based on the numerical responses, the retrofit system can significantly reduce the peak dynamic responses under a given blast loading scenario.

본 연구에서는 강자켓을 이용하여 RC 기둥을 보강하는 기법으로 분리되지 않은 스테인리스-강자켓으로 보강된 콘크리트 공시체를 제작하여 횡방향 구속응력을 적용시켜 보강 하는 방법을 제안하였다. 제시된 기법의 성능을 평가하기 위해 1.0, 1.5 및 2.0 mm 두께로 제작된 강판을 변수로 하여 3개의 무보강과 9개의 보강 콘크리트 공시체를 제작하였다. 횡방향 구속응력 도입을 위해 클램프가 사용되었으며 보강된 시 편과 보강되지 않은 시편의 압축실험의 결과가 비교 분석 되었다. 실험결과 보강 강판의 두께가 증가할 수 록 압축강도가 증가했으며, 강자켓과 콘크리트는 복합거동을 하지 않으며, 실린더 중앙부가 팽창되는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 마지막으로 실험 데이터로부터 얻은 콘크리트 공시체의 응력-변형률을 Li의 연속체 모델로 재현하여 비교 분석하였다. Li의 제안모델은 콘크리트 공시체의 항복 후의 거동에서는 오차가 커 적용이 어려움에 착안하여 수정된 Li 모델을 제안하였다. 수정된 Li 모델은 Li 모델에서 항복 후 영역의 n 값을 수정하여 얻어졌으며, 이 모델은 콘크리트의 항복 전 그리고 항복 후에도 실험값과 유사하게 재현됨을 알 수 있었다. 이로써 Li 모델의 n 값을 적절히 조절하면 실험값을 재현하는데 긍정적으로 쓰일 것으로 판단된다.

Due to susceptibility of bridges in the past earthquakes, vulnerability assessment and strengthening of bridges has gained a particular significance. The objective of the present study is to employ an analytical method for the development of fragility curves, as well as to investigate the effect of strengthening on the RC box-girder bridges. Since fragility curves are used for pre-and post-earthquake planning, this paper has attempted to adopt the most reliable modeling assumptions in order to increase the reliability. Furthermore, to acknowledge the interaction of soil, abutment and pile, the effect of different strengthening methods, such as using steel jacketing and FRP layers, the effect of increase in the bridge pier diameter, and the effect of vertical component of earthquake on the vulnerability of bridges in this study, a three-span RC box-girder bridge was modeled in 9 different cases. Nonlinear dynamic analyses were carried out on the studied bridges subjected to 100 ground motion records via OpenSEES platform. Therefore, the fragility curves were plotted and compared in the four damage states. The results revealed that once the interaction of soil and abutment and the vertical component of the earthquake are accounted for in the calculations, the median fragility is reduced, implying that the bridge becomes more vulnerable. It was also confirmed that steel jackets and FRP layers are suitable methods for pier strengthening which reduces the vulnerability of the bridge.

Many public buildings such as schools, hospitals, etc., where partial infill walls are present in reinforced concrete (RC) structures, have undergone undesirable damage/failure attributed to captive column effect during a moderate to severe earthquake shaking. Often, the situation gets worsened when these RC frames are non-ductile in nature, thus reducing the deformable capability of the frame. Also, in many parts of the Indian subcontinent, it is mandatory to use fly-ash bricks for construction so as to reduce the burden on the disposal of fly-ash produced at thermal power plants. In some scenario, when the non-ductile RC frame, partially infilled by fly-ash bricks, suffers major structural damage, the challenge remains on how to retrofit and restore it. Thus, in this study, two full-scale one-bay, one-story non-ductile RC frame models, namely, bare frame and RC partially infilled frame with fly-ash bricks in 50% of its opening area are considered. In the previous experiments, these models were subjected to slow-cyclic displacement-controlled loading to replicate damage due to a moderate earthquake. Now, in this study these damaged frames were retrofitted and an experimental investigation was performed on the retrofitted specimens to examine the effectiveness of the proposed retrofitting scheme. A hybrid retrofitting technique combining epoxy injection grouting with an innovative and easy-to-implement steel jacketing technique was proposed. This proposed retrofitting method has ensured proper confinement of damaged concrete. The retrofitted models were subjected to the same slow cyclic displacement-controlled loading which was used to damage the frames. The experimental study concluded that the hybrid retrofitting technique was quite effective in enhancing and regaining various seismic performance parameters such as, lateral strength and lateral stiffness of partially fly-ash brick infilled RC frame. Thus, the steel jacketing retrofitting scheme along with the epoxy injection grouting can be relied on for possible repair of the structural members which are damaged due to the captive column effect during the seismic shaking.

1970년대에 콘크리트를 기반으로 지어진 많은 구조물과 빌딩은 안전성과 사용성을 고려하여 무수히 많은 연구를 현재까지 진행해 왔으나, 설계강도 보다 낮은 최대강도를 보이고 있다. 현재 노후화된 콘크리트 구조물들에 대한 다양한 보수 보강 공법이 개발되어 적용되고 있지만 기존 연구들은 구조물의 특성에 대해서는 고려하지 않고, 단지 기존 부재와 보수 재료의 부착에 관한 연구와 기존 부재를 효과적으로 보강하기 위한 새로운 방법을 개발하는 연구는 미흡한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구는 보수 보강 재료를 이용한 효율적인 강도증진 방법에 대한 연구, 보강 재료와 기존 부재 사이의 거동에 대해 부족했던 연구를 보완하고자 한다. 또한 고강도 콘크리트는 높은 압축강도를 발현하기 때문에 부재의 단면을 축소시킬 뿐만 아니라 구조물의 자중 또한 감소시킬 수 있으므로 거대한 구조물 건설에 사용되고 있다. 고강도 콘크리트의 사용이 점차 증가하는 추세이지만 고강도 콘크리트를 이용한 구조물의 보수 보강에 대한 방법 연구 역시 미진한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 효과적인 고강도 콘크리트 기둥에 대한 보수 보강 방법을 개발하고자 한다. 본 연구에서는 사각단명 형상을 가진 기둥을 팔각단면으로 형상 변형을 통해 CFS로 보수 보강하여 단면 형상이 변함에 따른 효과를 파악하고, CFS로 보강된 고강도 콘크리트(HSC) 기둥의 강도 증대 효과와 파괴 거동에 대해 파악하고자 한다.
