Tubular joints have been widely used in offshore platforms and space structures due to their merits such as easy fabrication, aesthetic appearance and better static strength. For existing tubular joints, a grouted sleeve reinforced method was proposed in this paper. Experimental tests on five tubular T-joints reinforced with the grouted sleeve and two conventional tubular T-joints were conducted to investigate their mechanical behaviour. A constant axial compressive force was applied to the chord end to simulate the compressive state of the chord member during the tests. Then an axial compressive force was applied to the top end of the brace member until the collapse of the joint specimens occurred. The parameters investigated herein were the grout thickness, the sleeve length coefficient and the sleeve construction method. The failure mode, ultimate load, initial stiffness and deformability of these joint specimens were discussed. It was found that: (1) The grouted sleeve could change the failure mode of tubular T-joints. (2) The grouted sleeve was observed to provide strength enhancement up to 154.3%~172.7% for the corresponding un-reinforced joint. (3) The initial stiffness and deformability were also greatly improved by the grouted sleeve. (4) The sleeve length coefficient was a key parameter for the improved effect of the grouted sleeve reinforced method.

Replacement of actual stress distribution in a reinforced concrete (RC) flexural member with a simpler geometrical shape, which maintains magnitude and location of the resultant compressive force, is an acceptable conceptual trick. This concept was originally perfected for normal strength concrete. In recent years, high strength concrete (HSC) has been introduced and widely used in modern construction. The stress block parameters require updating to account for special features of HSC in the design of flexural members. In future, more varieties of concrete may be developed and a corresponding design procedure of RC flexural members will be required. The usual practice is to conduct large number of experiments on various sizes of specimen and then evolve an empirical relation. This paper presents a numerical procedure through which the stress block parameters can be numerically derived for a given strain ratio variation. The material model for concrete is presented and computational procedure is described. This procedure is illustrated with several variations of strain ratio. The advantages of numerical procedure are that it costs less and it can be used with new material models for any new variety of concrete.

The function of carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) reinforcement in increasing the ductility of reinforced concrete (RC) deep beam is important in such shear-sensitive RC member. This paper aims to investigate the effect of CFRP-strengthening on the energy absorption of RC deep beams. Six ordinary RC deep beams and six CFRP-strengthened RC deep beams with shear span to the effective depth ratio of 0.75, 1.00, 1.25, 1.50, 1.75, and 2.00 were tested till failure in this research. An empirical relationship was established to obtain the energy absorption of CFRP-strengthened RC deep beams. The shear span to the effective depth ratio and growth of energy absorption of CFRP-strengthened deep beam were the significant factors to establish this relationship.

The purpose of this study is to investigate size effect on inelastic behavior of reinf bridge piers subjected to cyclic load. A computer program, named RCAHEST(Reinforced Co Analysis in Higher Evaluation System Technologr), for the analysis of reinforced concret was used. Material nonlinearity is taken into account by comprising tensile, compressiv models of cracked concrete and a model of reinforcing steel The smeared crack app incorporated. In boundary plane at which each member with different thickness is conne discontinuous deformation due to the abrupt change in their stiffness can be taken into introducing interface element. The effect of number of load reversals with the same d amplitude has been also taken into account to model the reinforcing steel. To determine th on bridge pier inelastic behavior, a 1/4-scale replicate model was also loaded for compar full-scale bridge pier behavior.

Investigations on the dynamic behavior of concrete members, incorporating steel fibers with different aspect ratios, are limited so far and do not covered comprehensively in prior studies. Present endeavor is devoted to examine the dynamic response of the steel fibrous concrete beams and slabs under the influence of impact loading. These members were reinforced with steel fibers in different length of 25 mm and 50 mm. Four concrete mixes were designed and used based on the proportion of long and short fibers. Twenty-four slabs and beams were fabricated with respect to the concrete mix and these specimens were tested in impact load experiment. Testing observations revealed that the maximum dynamic deflection or ductility of the member can be achieved with increasing the fiber length. Structural behavior of the tested structures was predicted using nonlinear finite element analysis with specific material constitutive relationships. Eight nodes plate elements have been considered in the present dynamic analysis. Dynamic fracture energy of the members was calculated and agreement ratio, of more than 70%, was noticed between the experimental and analysis outcomes.

Filling materials poured into precast member joint are subjected to restraint stress by the precast member and joint reinforcement. The induced stress will likely cause cracks at early ages and performance degradation of the entire structure. To prevent these issues and design reasonable joints, it is very important to analyze and evaluate the restrained shrinkage cracks of filling materials at various restraint conditions. In this study, a new time zero-that defines the shrinkage development time of a filling material-is proposed to calculate the accurate amount of shrinkage. The tensile stresses and strengths at different ages were compared through the ring test (AASHTO PP34) to evaluate the crack potential of the restrained filling materials at various restraint conditions. The mixture which contained an expansive additive and a shrinkage reducing agent exhibited high resistance to shrinkage cracking owing to the high-drying shrinkage compensation effect. The high-performance, fiber-reinforced cement composite, and ultra-high-performance, fiber-reinforced cement composite yielded very high resistance to shrinkage and cracking owing to the pull-out property of steel fibers. To this end, multiple nonlinear regression analyses were conducted based on the test results. Accordingly, a modified tensile stress equation that considered both the geometric shape of the specimen and the intrinsic properties of the material is proposed.

국외적으로 고강도 재료에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있는 반면 국내에서는 고강도 재료에 대한 연구가 미비한 실정이다. 일반적으로 RC 보의 전단 저항은 보강근의 전단 저항 보강근의 양($p_w$), 항복 강도($f_{wy}$)에 지배적인 영향($p_wf_{wy}$)을 받는다. 따라서 고강도 전단 보강을 사용하는 것으로 전단 보강근의 양을 저감시키는 효과가 있을 것으로 판단된다. 이에 본 연구는 고강도 보강근과 보통 강도 비 폐쇄형 횡 보강근의 혼용을 통한 전단 보강근의 양을 줄여 시공 능률향상과 부착성능 향상을 유도하여 부재내력을 증진하기 위한 실험적 연구를 수행하였다.

이 연구에서는 산업부산물인 알카리활성 슬래그와 알칼리 활성화제 (물유리, 수산화나트륨)에 강섬유를 사용하였으며, 이를 철근콘크리트 보에 적용하여 휨성능 평가를 하였다. 주요변수는 알칼리 활성화제의 혼입비율 및 강섬유를 혼입으로 총 8개의 실험체를 제작하였으며, 재료 및 구조성능 평가를 위한 실험을 수행한 결과 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 친환경 알카리활성 슬래그 섬유보강콘크리트를 사용한 철근콘크리트 보는 전반적으로 휨 또는 휨-전단에 의하여 파괴되었다. 그리고 수산화나트륨의 몰 증가와 강섬유를 보강한 결과 최대내력이 15.8~25.9% 증가한 값이 나타났으며, 연성 또한 높게 나타났다. 친환경 알카리활성 슬래그 섬유보강콘크리트는 기존의 콘크리트를 대체할 수 있는 기초연구로서 향후 건설소재 및 재료분야에 활용할 수 있을 것으로 사료되며, 이러한 특성을 바탕으로 콘크리트 2차 제품 생산과 구조부재를 PC화하여 활용할 경우 생산성 향상, 공기단축 등 효율이 상승될 것으로 보인다.

철근콘크리트 구조물의 설계 방법으로 한계상태설계법이 적용되면서 해석이나 설계 시 극한상태까지 고려하도록 하고 있다. 실제로 철근콘크리트 부재가 휨을 받을 때 전단철근에 의한 구속 효과가 존재하지만, 설계 시에는 비구속 콘크리트의 재료 곡선을 적용하도록 하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 휨 부재에 대한 구속콘크리트 모델의 적합성을 평가하기 위하여 복철근 직사각형 단면을 가지는 RC 단순보에 대하여 4점 휨 실험을 수행하였고, 영상분석기법을 이용하여 부재의 항복 후 거동을 상세하게 분석하였다. 상세한 분석을 위하여 DIC 기법을 영상분석 기법으로써 채택하였고, 기존 계측 방법과 계측 결과를 비교함으로써 DIC 기법의 타당성을 검증하였다. DIC 기법의 결과로 산출된 콘크리트 표면의 변형률 분포도를 얻을 수 있었고, 이를 통하여 단면의 평균 변형률 분포를 산출하였다. 평균 변형률 분포도를 이용하여 기존 구속콘크리트 모델을 재료곡선으로 적용한 응력 분포도를 도출할 수 있었다. 실험 결과와 기존 모델 적용 결과의 비교를 통하여 직사각형 단면을 가지는 RC 휨 부재에 대한 구속콘크리트 모델의 적합성을 평가하였다.
