Structures may need retrofitting as a result of design and calculation errors, lack of proper implementation, post-construction change in use, damages due to accidental loads, corrosion and changes introduced in new editions of construction codes. Retrofitting helps to compensate weakness and increase the service life. Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) is a modern material for retrofitting steel elements. This study aims to investigate the effect of deficiency location on the axial behavior of compressive elements of Circular Hollow Section (CHS) steel short columns. The deficiencies located vertically or horizontally at the middle or bottom of the element. A total of 43 control column and those with deficiencies were investigated in the ABAQUS software. Only 9 of them tested in the laboratory. The results indicated that the deficiencies had a significant effect on the increase in axial deformation, rupture in deficiency zone (local buckling), and decrease in ductility and bearing capacity. The damages of steel columns were responsible for resistance and stiffness drop at deficiency zone. Horizontal deficiency at the middle and vertical deficiency at the bottom of the steel columns were found to be the most critical. Using Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) as the most effective material in retrofitting the damaged columns, significantly helped the increase in resistance and rupture control around the deficiency zone.

This paper is about impact behavior of cylinder container, made of steel fiber reinforced polymer-impregnated concrete(SFPIC), for intermediate and low level radwaste disposal. In order to obtain the material properties of the SFPIC, steel ball impact tests were done to SFPIC beams and its simulation by finite element method was performed. By using the material properties in finite element impact analysis of the SFPIC concrete cylinder, we obtained impact behavior of the cylinder.

Currently, the structural material, namely glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) is focused on innovative structure due to lightness, excellent workability and noncorrosive characteristics, etc. However, the lack of GFRP connection technology produces only an imitation of steel and wood structures. This uses univentive design principles as well as unsuitable material applications, causes tons of surplus of materials to be wasted, and results in uneconomical structures, because the characteristics between steel and GFRP are completely different. Thus, this research develops the new, innovative GFRP connection system with considerations of the characteristics of GFRP and adopts it to a mobile und modular membrane pavilion.

Strengthening of civil infrastructure with advanced composites have recently become one of the most popular methods. The use of Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) strips plates and fabric for strengthening of reinforced concrete structures has well established design guidelines and standards. Research on the application of FRP composites to steel structures compared to concrete structures is limited, especially for shear strengthening applications. Whereas, there is a need for cost-effective system that could be used to strengthen steel high-way bridge girders to cope with losses due to corrosion in addition to continuous demands for increasing traffic loads. In this study, a parametric finite element study is performed to investigate the effect of applying thick CFRP strips diagonally on webs of plate girders on the shear strength of end-web panels. The study focuses on illustrating the effect of several geometric parameters on nominal shear strength. Hence, a formula is developed to determine the enhancement of shear strength gained upon the application of CFRP strips.

The primary objective of the study was to find the deformation characteristics of reinforced polymer concrete beams. A test program was carried out to compare the behavior in deformation of polyester and MMA concrete beams with cement concrete beams but with varying ratios of tensile reinforcement. From the results the following conclusions can be made. 1.The various strengths of polymer concrete ware very high compared to the strengths for cement concrete. Also, compared to conventional concrete beams, flexural strength of reinforced polymer concrete beams was distinctly higher for the same section and steel ratios. 2.The polymer concrete beams exhibit large deflections accompanied by relatively high strengths as compared to cement concrete beams. 3.The average ultimate strain at the extreme compression fiber of polymer concrete beams was 0.01 1 cm / cm, and this value was about three to four times as large as that of cement concrete beams, 4.The polymer concrete beams developed more cracks which were more wide crack distribution spacing than the cement concrete beams, and the beams failed in a more ductile manner. 5.The reinforcing steel ratio has a significant effect on the beam strength, load-deflection response, stress-strain curve, and crack pattern of polymer concrete beams.

이 연구는 부착형 정착 장치를 갖는 CFRP(carbon fiber reinforced polymer) 긴장재의 정착에 관한 실험 연구이다. 적절한 채움재를 도출하기 위해 예비 실험을 수행하였고, 에폭시 또는 콘크리트 모르타르와 같은 5종의 재료가 채움재로 사용되었다. 실험 결과 무수축 모르타르를 사용한 시편에서 최대 인장강도를 보이므로 이 연구에서는 CFRP 긴장재용 강관 몰드의 채움재로써 무수축 모르타르를 결정하였다. 예비 실험으로 도출된 채움재를 이용하여 강관 몰드의 적정 제원을 도출하기 위해 외경, 두께 및 길에 대한 추가 실험을 수행하였다. 이 실험을 통해 무수축 모르타르를 사용한 강관 몰드의 적정 제원이 도출되었고, 이러한 제원의 강관 몰드로 정착된 CFRP 긴장재는 안정적인 인장 성능을 보였다.

In response to the sustainability requirements set in the EU Commission's "Green Deal" towards reduction of the greenhouse gas emissions, it is estimated that the structural design for deconstruction is going to contribute considerably to the sustainable development of the built environment. The demountability of multi-material structural systems basically depends on the shear connectors used in the structural system. This paper focuses on a type of demountable injected shear connector with an injected steel-reinforced resin (iSRR) which consists of spherical steel particles embedded in a resin. Its application to steel-to-concrete and steel-to-Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) decks is presented along with its benefits. In parallel, an overview of the experimental and numerical research on the evaluation of the mechanical properties of the demountable bolted connectors with iSRR is discussed. Last, detailed finite element (FE) models and a parametric study are performed to quantify the confinement level of the SRR material influenced by the oversized hole diameter.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the strengthening effect of RC beams with carbon fiber grid. Carbon fiber grid that is very lightweight and stronger than steel reinforcement does not rust or corrode and has a very high resistance to salt. In this study, five real size specimens which are strengthened with different types of carbon fiber grid are tested. With the results of this tests, we found the physical and mechanical properties of carbon fiber grid and polymer mortar which are used to strengthen the damaged or cracked reinforcement concrete beams. we also investigate the strengthening effect of carbon fiber grid on the five flexural test specimens that have cracks.

본 연구에서는 탄소/탄소복합재료의 마모특성에 대한 탄소섬유 길이의 영향을 고찰하였다. 매트릭스 precursor로 레졸형의 페놀수지와 강화재로 표면처리를 하지않은 PAN계 단섬유형 탄소섬유를 사용하여 액상함침법으로 1회의 고온열처리 공정과 4회의 탄화공정을 통하여 탄소/탄소복합재료를 제조하였다. Disk-on-disk형의 마모시험기를 통하여 상대 마찰재로 AISI 304 stainliss steel을 사용하여 0.6MPa(61 ${\times}{10^3}$Kg/$m^2$)의 압력과 0.71m/sec의 미끄러짐 속도하에서 측정된 탄소/탄소복합재료의 마찰계수는 0.2-0.3이었다. 마찰계수에 대한 섬유의 길이의 영향은 크게 나타나지 않았지만, 마모 속도는 섬유의 길이가 증가함에 따라 증가하는 경향이 나타났다. 본 실헙 결과를 섬유 강화 플라스틱의 마모 모델을 적용하여 고찰하여 본 결과, 섬유의 길이가 증가함에 따라 탄소/탄소복합재료의 마모 속도가 증가되는 경향은 생성된느 마모조각의 크기가 커기기 때문에 나타난 현상으로 판단되었다.

In recent years, RC structures need reinforcement due to physical and chemical deterioration, reduction of serviceability and structural capacity. For reinforcement of RC structures, steel plate attachment, area increase and composite fiber sheet attachment methods are used, but there are some problems like weight increase, workability, quality control and fire resistance capacity. This study presents the effectiveness of flexural reinforcement of RC beams using composite rods that are inserted in high strength special purposed polymer mortar.
