철근콘크리트 깊은 보는 콘크리트와 전단철근에 의한 전단저항 메커니즘의 성능에 의해 극한강도가 지배된다. 깊은 보의 거동은 전단지간대 유효깊이의 비, 휨철근비, 하중점과 지지점의 조건, 그리고 사용재료의 성질 등의 여러 변수간의 복합적인 역학관계로 인해 매우 복잡하다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 깊은 보의 강도 및 거동 특성을 모두 반영하여 단순지지 철근콘크리트 깊은 보의 설계를 수행할 수 있는 부정정 스트럿-타이 모델을 제안하였다. 또한 현 스트럿-타이 모델 설계기준을 부정정 스트럿-타이 모델을 이용한 단순지지 철근콘크리트 깊은 보의 설계에 합리적으로 적용하기 위해 수직 트러스 메커니즘에 의해 전달되는 하중의 크기 즉 부정정 스트럿-타이 모델의 하중분배율을 제안하였다. 하중분배율의 결정 시 단순지지 철근콘크리트 깊은 보의 전단에 대한 연성파괴거동을 확보하기 위하여 깊은 보의 전단저항 메커니즘을 구성하는 콘크리트 스트럿과 수직철근 타이가 동시에 파괴된다는 전단평형철근비 개념을 도입하였으며, 다양한 수치해석결과를 바탕으로 단순지지 깊은 보의 강도 및 거동에 영향을 미치는 전단지간대 유효깊이의 비, 휨철근비, 그리고 콘크리트의 압축강도 등의 설계변수를 고려하였다. 본 논문의 후속편에서는 기존의 여러 설계방법들과 본 연구에서 제안한 방법을 이용하여 파괴실험이 수행된 다양한 종류의 단순지지 깊은 보의 강도를 평가하고, 본 연구에서 제안한 방법의 적합성을 검증하였다.

The flexural strengthening of reinforced concrete beams by external bonding of composite materials has proved to be an efficient and practical technique. This paper presents a study on the flexural performance of reinforced concrete continuous beams with three spans (one span and two cantilevered) strengthened by bonding carbon fiber fabric (CFRP). The model is based on equilibrium and deformations compatibility requirements in and all parts of the strengthened continuous beam, i.e., the continuous concrete beam, the FRP plate and the adhesive layer. The adherend shear deformations have been included in the present theoretical analyses by assuming a linear shear stress through the thickness of the adherends. Remarkable effect of shear deformations of adherends has been noted in the results. The theoretical predictions are compared with other existing solutions that shows good agreement, and It shows the effectiveness of CFRP strips in enhancing shear capacity of continuous beam. It is shown that both the normal and shear stresses at the interface are influenced by the material and geometry parameters of the composite beam.

철근콘크리트 깊은 보의 거동은 전단경간비, 휨철근비, 하중점과 지지점의 조건, 그리고 사용재료의 성질 등의 여러 변수간의 복합적인 역학관계로 인해 매우 복잡하다. 이 논문에서는 이러한 깊은 보의 거동 특성을 모두 반영하여 연속지지 철근콘크리트 깊은 보의 설계를 수행할 수 있는 부정정 스트럿-타이 모델을 제안하였다. 또한 현 스트럿-타이 모델 설계기준을 부정정 스트럿-타이 모델을 이용한 연속지지 철근콘크리트 깊은 보의 설계에 합리적으로 적용하기 위해 외부하중에 대한 단부 지지점 반력의 비인 반력분배율과 수직 트러스 메커니즘에 의해 전달되는 외부하중의 크기 즉 부정정 스트럿-타이 모델의 하중분배율을 제안하였다. 하중분배율의 결정 시 연속지지 철근콘크리트 깊은 보의 전단에 대한 연성파괴거동을 확보하기 위하여 깊은 보의 전단저항 메커니즘을 구성하는 콘크리트 스트럿과 수직철근타이가 동시에 파괴된다는 전단평형철근비 개념을 도입하였으며, 다양한 수치해석 결과를 바탕으로 연속지지 깊은 보의 강도 및 거동에 영향을 미치는 전단경간비, 휨철근비, 그리고 콘크리트의 압축강도 등의 주요설계변수를 고려하였다. 이 논문의 후속편에서는 기존의 여러 설계방법들과 이 연구에서 제안한 방법을 이용하여 파괴실험이 수행된 다양한 종류의 연속지지 깊은 보의 강도를 평가하고, 이 연구에서 제안한 방법의 적합성을 검증하였다.

In this study the progressive collapse resisting capacity of a RC beam-column subassemblage with and without strengthening was investigated. Total of five specimens were tested; two unreinforced specimens, the one designed as gravity load-resisting system and the other as seismic load-resisting system, and three specimens reinforced with: (i) bonded strand, (ii) unbonded strand, and (iii) side steel plates with stud bolts. The two-span subassemblages were designed as part of an eight-story RC building. Monotonically increasing load was applied at the middle column of the specimens and the force-displacement relationships were plotted. It was observed that the gravity load-resisting specimen failed by fractures of re-bars in the beams. In the other specimens no failure was observed until the maximum displacement capacity of the actuator was reached. Highest strength was observed in the structure with unbonded strand. The test result of the specimen with side steel plates in beam-column joints showed that the force-displacement curve increased without fracture of re-bars. Based on the test results it was concluded that the progressive collapse resisting capacity of a RC frame could be significantly enhanced using unbonded strands or side plates with stud bolts.

On mesoscopic level, concrete can be treated as a three-phase composite material consisting of mortar, aggregates and interfacial transition zone (ITZ) between mortar and aggregate. A lot of research has confirmed that ITZ plays a crucial role in the mechanical fracture process of concrete. The aim of the present study is to propose a numerical method on mesoscale to analyze the failure mechanism of reinforced concrete (RC) structures under mechanical loading, and then it will help precisely predict the damage or the cracking initiation and propagation of concrete. Concrete is meshed by means of the Rigid Body Spring Model (RBSM) concept, while the reinforcing steel bars are modeled as beam-type elements. Two kinds of RC members, i.e. subjected to uniaxial tension and beams under bending, the fracture process of concrete and the distribution of cracks, as well as the load-deflection relationships are investigated and compared with the available test results. It is found that the numerical results are in good agreement with the experimental observations, indicating that the model can successfully simulate the failure process of the RC members.

The present study focuses on examining the structural behaviour of steel-fibre-reinforced concrete (SFRC) beams under high rates of loading largely associated with impact problems. Fibres are added to the concrete mix to enhance ductility and energy absorption, which is important for impact-resistant design. A simple, yet practical non-linear finite-element analysis (NLFEA) model was used in the present study. Experimental static and impact tests were also carried out on beams spanning 1.3 meter with weights dropped from heights of 1.5 m and 2.5 m, respectively. The numerical model realistically describes the fully-brittle tensile behaviour of plain concrete as well as the contribution of steel fibres to the post-cracking response (the latter was allowed for by conveniently adjusting the constitutive relations for plain concrete, mainly in uniaxial tension). Suitable material relations (describing compression, tension and shear) were selected for SFRC and incorporated into ABAQUS software Brittle Cracking concrete model. A more complex model (i.e., the Damaged Plasticity concrete model in ABAQUS) was also considered and it was found that the seemingly simple (but fundamental) Brittle Cracking model yielded reliable results. Published data obtained from drop-weight experimental tests on RC and SFRC beams indicates that there is an increase in the maximum load recorded (compared to the corresponding static one) and a reduction in the portion of the beam span reacting to the impact load. However, there is considerable scatter and the specimens were often tested to complete destruction and thus yielding post-failure characteristics of little design value and making it difficult to pinpoint the actual load-carrying capacity and identify the associated true ultimate limit state (ULS). To address this, dynamic NLFEA was employed and the impact load applied was reduced gradually and applied in pulses to pinpoint the actual failure point. Different case studies were considered covering impact loading responses at both the material and structural levels as well as comparisons between RC and SFRC specimens. Steel fibres were found to increase the load-carrying capacity and deformability by offering better control over the cracking process concrete undergoes and allowing the impact energy to be absorbed more effectively compared to conventional RC members. This is useful for impact-resistant design of SFRC beams.

American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) standard test method PS 070-97 has been created for measuring fracture toughness of advanced ceramics. PS 070-97 includes three test methods which use beams in bending: chevron notch (CNB), single-edged precracked beam (SEPB), and surface crack in flexure (SCF). Supporting data has been collected through several Versailles Advanced Materials and Standards round robins. This paper discusses the evolution of the standard including the rationale for the choice of the three methods and the specifications in the standard. Progress on Standard Reference material 2100 which will have certified values of fracture toughness is presented.

This paper presents a careful theoretical investigation into interfacial stresses in reinforced concrete foundation beam repairing with composite plate. The essential issue in the analysis of reinforced structures with composite materials is to understand the individual behaviour of each material and its interaction with the remaining ones. The present model is based on equilibrium and deformations compatibility requirements in and all parts of the repaired RC foundation beam, i.e., the reinforced concrete foundation beam, the composite plate and the adhesive layer. The theoretical predictions are compared with other existing solutions, By comparisons between the existing solutions and the present new solution enable a clear appreciation of the effects of various parameters such as the geometric characteristics and mechanical properties of the components of the repaired beam, as well as the geotechnical stresses of the soil are considered. This research is helpful for the understanding on mechanical behaviour of the interface and design of the composite-concrete hybrid structures.

This paper presents a theoretical approach of the structures reinforced with bonded FRP composites, taking into account loading model, shear lag effect and the thermal effect. These composites are used, in particular, for rehabilitation of structures by stopping the propagation of the cracks. They improve rigidity and resistance, and prolong their lifespan. In this paper, an original model is presented to predict and to determine the stresses concentration at the FRP end, with the new theory analysis approach. The model is based on equilibrium and deformations compatibility requirements in and all parts of the strengthened beam, i.e., the concrete beam, the FRP plate and the adhesive layer. The theoretical predictions are compared with other existing solutions. The numerical resolution was finalized by taking into account the physical and geometric properties of materials that may play an important role in reducing the stress values. This solution is general in nature and may be applicable to all kinds of materials.

The reinforcing effect of modified structure of PSC beams is analyzed in this study. The PSC beams are closed by precast half panels embeding PS tendons at the bottom flange of I-bear The stiffness of box structure is larger and the PS force at half panels makes a time-dependent upward camber of superstructures. The superstructure becomes a second composite structure among 3 elements-PSC ben RC slab, PSC Panel. The time-dependent creep and shrinkage effect at PSC Panels and structural behavior is verified considering construction sequences. The optimal range of to-box reinforcing method is surveyed through reliability analysis.
