Hollow steel-reinforced concrete-filled GFRP tubular member is a new kind of composite members. Firstly set the mold in the GFRP tube (non-bearing component), then set the longitudinal reinforcements with stirrups (steel reinforcement cage) between the GFRP tube and the mold, and filled the concrete between them. Through the axial compression test of the hollow steel-reinforced concrete-filled GFRP tubular member, the working mechanism and failure modes of composite members were obtained. Based on the experiment, when the load reached the ranges of $55-70%P_u$ ($P_u-ultimate$ load), white cracks appeared on the surface of the GFRP tubes of specimens. At that time, the confinement effects of the GFRP tubes on core concrete were obvious. Keep loading, the ranges of white cracks were expanding, and the confinement effects increased proportionally. In addition, the damages of specimens, which were accompanied with great noise, were marked by fiber breaking and resin cracking on the surface of GFRP tubes, also accompanied with concrete crushing. The bearing capacity of the axially compressed components increased with the increase of reinforcement ratio, and decreased with the increase of hollow ratio. When the reinforcement ratio was increased from 0 to 4.30%, the bearing capacity was increased by about 23%. When the diameter of hollow part was decreased from 55mm to 0, the bearing capacity was increased by about 32%.

In this study, high strength aluminum alloys (AA) plates are proposed as a new construction material for strengthening reinforced concrete (RC) beams. The purpose of this investigation is to evaluate AA plate's suitability as externally bonded reinforcing (EBR) materials for retrofitting shear deficient beams. A total of twenty RC beams designed to fail in shear were strengthened with different spacing and orientations. The specimens were loaded with four-points loading till failure. The considered outcome parameters included load carrying capacity, deflection, strain in plates, and failure modes. The results of all tested beams showed an increase up to 37% in the load carrying capacity and also an increase in deflection compared to the control un-strengthened beams. This demonstrated the potential of adopting AA plates as EBR material. Finally, the shear contribution from the AA plates was predicted using the models available in the ACI440-08, TR55 and FIB14 design code for fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) plates. The predicted results were compared to experimental testing data with the ratio of the experimentally measured ultimate load to predicted load, range on the average, between 93% and 97%.

유럽과 미국에서는 말뚝기초 설계에 한계상태설계법 사용이 거의 정착되었으며, 세계적 추세에 따라 국내에서도 국토해양부가 한계상태설계법에 기반한 교량하부기초 설계기준을 제정하였지만, 국내 말뚝공법 및 지반조건에 대한 저항계수 연구가 부족하여 당장 설계에 반영하기에는 어려운 여건이었다. 이에 본 연구에서는 국내에서 많이 사용되고 있는 PHC 매입말뚝의 저항계수를 구하기 위하여 LH설계기준과 도로교설계기준 방법으로 산정한 지지력과 LH 현장에서 실시한 정재하시험(21회)과 동재하시험(EOID 21회, Restrike 21회) 결과를 신뢰성분석을 실시하였으며, 선행 논문(재하시험에 의한 PHC 매입말뚝의 저항계수 산정)에서 수행한 결과보다 2배 이상 많은 데이터를 추가하여 분석하였다. 그 결과 정재하지지력(극한)으로 구한 저항계수는 설계식 및 목표신뢰도지수에 따라 0.64~0.83, 동재하지지력(극한)으로 구한 저항계수는 0.42~0.55로 나와 정재하지지력(극한)으로 구한 저항계수보다 약 33% 작게 나타났다. 반면 수정동재하지지력(EOID의 극한선단지지력 + Restrike의 극한주면지지력)으로 구한 저항계수는 0.55~0.71로 나와 정재하지지력(극한)으로 구한 저항계수와 비교 시 그 차이가 약 14%로 줄어들었다. 데이터 추가에 의해 저항계수를 산정한 결과 이전 저항계수와 같거나 0.04정도 증가하여 데이터가 2배 이상 추가되어도 저항계수가 의미 있을 정도로 크게 변하지 않은 것으로 나타났다. 결론적으로 본 연구에서 정재하 및 동재하시험으로 산정한 전체 저항계수는 전반적으로 도로교설계기준(2015)에서 제시한 저항계수 0.3보다 커서 경제적인 설계가 가능한 것으로 나타났다.

Reactive powder concrete (RPC) is a type of ultra-high strength concrete that has a relatively high brittleness. However, its ductility can be improved by confinement, and the use of RPC in composite RPC filled steel tube columns has become an important subject of research in recent years. This paper aims to present an experimental study of axial capacity calculation of RPC filled circular steel tube columns. Twenty short columns under axial compression were tested and information on their failure patterns, deformation performance, confinement mechanism and load capacity were presented. The effects of load conditions, diameter-thickness ratio and compressive strength of RPC on the axial behavior were further discussed. The experimental results show that: (1) specimens display drum-shaped failure or shear failure respectively with different confinement coefficients, and the load capacity of most specimens increases after the peak load; (2) the steel tube only provides lateral confinement in the elastic-plastic stage for fully loaded specimens, while the confinement effect from steel tube initials at the set of loading for partially loaded specimens; (3) confinement increases the load capacity of specimens by 3% to 38%, and this increase is more pronounced as the confinement coefficient becomes larger; (4) the residual capacity-to-ultimate capacity ratio is larger than 0.75 for test specimens, thus identifying the composite columns have good ductility. The working mechanism and force model of the composite columns were analyzed, and based on the twin-shear unified strength theory, calculation methods of axial capacity for columns with two load conditions were established.

무리말뚝의 하중지지능력에서 말뚝캡이 부담하는 비율을 파악하고 무리말뚝을 구성하는 개개 말뚝의 하중전이 특성을 알아보고자 재하시험을 수행하였다. 직경 92.5mm의 강관말뚝 24본(4개씩 6열)을 지표 아래 3m 깊이까지 근입 시컥 풍화암 상단에 말뚝선단이 위치하도록 하였다. 최대하중 320t을 지표면에 접촉되어 있는 $1.5\times2.3m$ 크기의 말뚝캡에 재하하였다. 최대 시험하중인 320t에서는 말뚝캡이 전체하중의 약 22%에 해당하는 하중을 분담하였다. 무리 말뚝 재하시험시 말뚝의 평균 극한지지력은 16.4t이며, 이 값은 말뚝캡을 타설하기 전에 무리말뚝의 모서리에 위치한 말뚝에 대하여 수행한 단말쪽 재하시험으로부터 구한 극한지지력보다 상당히 크게 나타났다. 변위장중첩 효과로 인하여 무리말뚝 중앙에 위치한 말뚝은 작은 하중이 작용하여도 외곽부의 말뚝과 같은 침하량을 기록한 것으로 나타났다. 무리말뚝에서는 주면마찰력의 분담율이 전 하중단계에서 약 60%로 일정하나 단말뚝 시험에서는 하중이 증가함에 따라 주면마찰력의 분담율이 82%에서 65%로 감소하였다.

This paper deals with a study on ultimate strength behaviour of eccentrically loaded CFT columns with and without shear connectors. Thirty specimens are subjected to experimental investigation under eccentric loading condition. P-M curves are generated for all the test specimens and critical eccentricities are evaluated. Three different D/t ratios such as 21, 25 and 29 and L/D ratios varying from 5 to 20 are considered as experimental parameters. Six specimens of bare steel tubes as reference specimens, twelve specimens of CFT columns without shear connectors and twelve specimens of CFT columns with shear connectors, in total thirty specimens are tested. The P-M values at the ultimate failure load of experimental study are found to be well agreed with the results of the proposed P-M interaction model. The load-deflection and load-strain behaviour of the experimental column specimens are presented. The behaviour of the CFT columns with and without shear connectors is compared. Experimental results indicate that the percentage increase in load carrying capacity of CFT columns with shear connectors compared to the ordinary CFT columns is found to be insignificant with a value ranging from 6% to 13%. However, the ductility factor of columns with shear connectors exhibit higher values than that of the CFT columns without shear connectors. This paper presents the proposed P-M interaction model and experimental results under varying parameters such as D/t and L/D ratios.

This paper presents a combined numerical and theoretical study on the composite action between steel and concrete of circular steel tube confined concrete (STCC) stub columns under axial compressive loading with a full theoretical elasto-plastic model and finite element (FE) model in comparison with experimental results. Based on continuum mechanics, the elasto-plastic model for STCC stub columns was established and the analysis was realized by a FORTRAN program and the three dimensional FE model was developed using ABAQUS. The steel ratio of the circular STCC columns were defined in range of 0.5% to 2% to analyze the composite action between steel tube and concrete, and make a further study on the advantages of the circular STCC columns. By comparing the results using the elasto-plastic methods with the parametric analysis result of FE model, the appropriate friction coefficient between the steel tube and core concrete was defined as 0.4 to 0.6. Based on ultimate balance theory, the formula of ultimate load capacity applying to the circular STCC stub columns was developed.

Composite bonding steel plate (CBSP) is a newly developed type of structure strengthened technique applicable to the existing RC beam. This composite structure is applicable to strengthening the existing beam bearing high load. The strengthened beam consists of two layers of epoxy bonding prestressed steel plates and the RC beam sandwiched in between. The bonding enclosed and prestressed U-shaped steel jackets are applied at the beam sides. This technique is adopted in case of structures with high longitudinal reinforcing bar ratio and impracticable unloading. The prestress can be generated on the strengthening steel plates and jackets by using the CBSP technique before loading. The test results of full-scale CBSP strengthened beams show that the strength and stiffness are enhanced without reduction of their ductility. It is demonstrated that the strain hysteresis effect can be effectively overcome after prestressing on the steel plates by using such technique. The applied plates and jackets can jointly behave together with the existing beam under the action of epoxy bonding and the mechanical anchorage of the steel jackets. The simplified formulas are proposed to calculate the prestress and the ultimate capacities of strengthened beams. The accuracy of formulas was verified with the experimental results.

Reinforced concrete (RC) infrastructures often require strengthening due to error in design, degradation of materials properties after prolong utilization and increases load carrying capacity persuaded by new use of the structures. For this purpose, a newly proposed Side Near Surface Mounted (SNSM) composite technique was used for flexural strengthening of RC beam specimens. Analytical and non-linear finite element modeling (FEM) using ABAQUS were performed to predict the flexural performance of RC specimens strengthened with S-NSM using steel bars as a strengthening reinforcement. RC beams with various SNSM reinforcement ratios were tested for flexural performance using four-point bending under monotonic loading condition. Results showed significantly increase the yield and ultimate strengths up to 140% and 144% respectively and improved failure modes. The flexural response, such as failure load, mode of failure, yield load, ultimate load, deflection, strain, cracks characteristic and ductility of the beams were compared with those predicted results. The strengthened RC beam specimens showed good agreement of predicted flexural behavior with the experimental outcomes.
