The applicability of limit analysis methods in design and assessment of concrete structures generally requires a certain plastic deformation capacity. The latter is primarily provided by the ductility of the reinforcement, being additionally affected by the bond properties between reinforcing steel and concrete since they provoke strain localization in the reinforcement at cracks. The bond strength of reinforcing bars is not only governed by concrete quality, but also by construction details such as bar ribbing, bar spacing or concrete cover thickness. For new concrete structures, a potentially unfavorable impact on bond strength can easily be anticipated through appropriate code rules on construction details. In existing structures, these requirements may not be necessarily satisfied, consequently requiring additional considerations. This two-part paper investigates in a theoretical study the impacts of the most frequently encountered construction details which may not satisfy design code requirements on bond strength, steel strain localization and plastic deformation capacity of cracked structural concrete. The first part introduces basic considerations on bond, strain localization and plastic deformation capacity as well as the fundamentals of the Tension Chord Model underlying the further investigations. It also analyzes the impacts of the hardening behavior of reinforcing steel and concrete quality. The second part discusses the impacts of construction details (bar ribbing, bar spacing, and concrete cover thickness) and of additional structure-specific features such as bar diameter and crack spacing.

External bonding of steel plates has been used to strengthen deficient reinforced-concrete structures since the 1960s. In recent years, fiber-reinforcde polymer(FRP) plates have been increasingly used to replace steel plates due to their superior properties. This paper is concerned with anchorage failure due to crack propagation parallel to the boned plated near or along the adhesive/concrete interface, staring from the critically stressed position toward the anchored end of the plates. Factor of bond-slip interface model is average bond stress, effective length, slip volume and fracture energy. The aim of the present paper is to provide a comprehensive assessment of bond-slip interface model with concrete and CFRP plates.

Life cycle performance of corrosion affected RC structures is an important and challenging issue for effective infrastructure management. The accurate condition assessment of corroded RC structures mainly depends on the effective evaluation of deterioration occurring in the structures. Structural performance deterioration caused by reinforcement corrosion is a complex phenomenon which is generally uncertain and non-decreasing. Therefore, a stochastic modelling such as the gamma process can be an effective tool to consider the temporal uncertainty associated with performance deterioration. This paper presents a time-dependent reliability analysis of corrosion affected RC structures associated bond strength degradation. Initially, an analytical model to evaluate cracking in the concrete cover and the associated loss of bond between the corroded steel and the surrounding cracked concrete is developed. The analytical results of cover surface cracking and bond strength deterioration are examined by experimental data available. Then the verified analytical results are used for the stochastic deterioration modelling, presented here as gamma process. The application of the proposed approach is illustrated with a numerical example. The results from the illustrative example show that the proposed approach is capable of assessing performance of the bond strength of concrete structures affected by reinforcement corrosion during their lifecycle.

콘크리트 구조물의 시공이음부는 적절한 처리에도 불구하고 누수되는 사례가 빈번히 발생되고 있다. 이 연구에서는 이러한 누수 현상이 신 구 콘크리트 간의 부착특성과도 관련이 있을 것으로 보고 이에 대한 실험을 실시하였다. 여러가지 조건하에서 부착특성을 평가하기 위해 신 구 콘크리트의 접합부를 모사하는 시편들을 제작하여 접합부의 접착강도, 휨강도 및 쪼갬인장강도를 측정하였다. 주요 실험 변수는 혼화재의 종류 및 혼입률, 접합면의 처리 방법, 지수판의 종류였다. 그 외 신 구 콘크리트 타설 간격의 영향, 강도시험 재령에 따른 영향도 고찰하였다. 실험 결과 혼화재 사용에 따라 부착강도가 어느정도 증가하는 것으로 나타났는데, 이는 포졸란 반응에 의해 생성되는 칼슘실리케이트 수화물이 접합부의 공극을 메우기 때문으로 생각된다. 한편, 접합면이 거칠고 건조할수록 부착성능이 향상되었으며, 지수판의 표면 거칠기는 지수판의 부착성능에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 시험 방법에 따른 부착강도의 차이가 발생하므로 이를 고려한 평가가 요망된다.

Non-destructive tests are commonly used in construction industry to access the quality and strength of concrete. However, till date there is no non-destructive testing method that can be adopted to evaluate the bond condition of reinforced concrete beams. In this regard, the presented research work details the use of ultra-sonic pulse velocity test method to evaluate the bond condition of reinforced concrete beam. A detailed experimental research was conducted by testing four identical reinforced concrete beam samples. The samples were loaded in equal increments till failure and ultra-sonic pulse velocity readings were recorded along the length of the beam element. It was observed from experimentation that as the cracks developed in the sample, the ultra-sonic wave velocity reduced for the same path length. This reduction in wave velocity was used to identify the initiation, development and propagation of internal micro-cracks along the length of reinforcement. Using the developed experimental methodology, researchers were able to identify weak spots in bond along the length of the specimen. The proposed method can be adopted by engineers to access the quality of bond for steel reinforcement in beam members. This allows engineers to carryout localized repairs thereby resulting in reduction of time, cost and labor needed for strengthening. Furthermore, the methodology to apply the proposed technique in real-world along with various challenges associated with its application have also been highlighted.

Reinforcement corrosion can cause serious safety deterioration to aging concrete structures exposed in aggressive environments. This paper presents an approach for reliability analyses of deteriorating reinforced concrete structures affected by reinforcement corrosion on the basis of the representative symptoms identified during the deterioration process. The concrete cracking growth and rebar bond strength evolution due to reinforcement corrosion are chosen as key symptoms for the performance deterioration of concrete structures. The crack width at concrete cover surface largely depends on the corrosion penetration of rebar due to the expansive rust layer at the bond interface generated by reinforcement corrosion. The bond strength of rebar in the concrete correlates well with concrete crack width and decays steadily with crack width growth. The estimates of cracking development and bond strength deterioration are examined by experimental data available from various sources, and then matched with symptom-based lifetime Weibull model. The symptom reliability and remaining useful life are predicted from the predictive lifetime Weibull model for deteriorating concrete structures. Finally, a numerical example is provided to demonstrate the applicability of the proposed approach for forecasting the performance of concrete structures subject to reinforcement corrosion. The results show that the corrosion rate has significant impact on the reliability associated with serviceability and load bearing capacity of reinforced concrete structures during their service life.

환경친화형 반도체 봉지재로서 할로겐 화합물 등의 첨가형 난연제를 혼합하지 않고 자기소화성을 발현시키는 에폭시수지 조성물에 관해 연구하였다. 탄화수소계 방향족 공액이중결합의 구조를 갖는 에폭시수지와 페놀수지의 반응물에서 자기소화성을 갖는 낮은 연소열이 확인되었다. 본 연구에서는 탄화수소계 방향족 공액이중결합에 헤테로원자계 이중결합인 아조메틴기를 도입하여 더욱 낮은 연소열을 확인할 수 있었다. 낮은 연소열의 결과는 높은 반응열과 열전이온도 그리고 빠른 반응성과 관련이 있으며 아조메틴기의 헤테로원자 구조의 영향 때문으로 보인다.

The work is intended to demonstrate that the loss of bond between concrete and flexural steel which led in recent years a number of flat-slab structures to punching collapse under service loading conditions is also relevant to ultimate limit-state design. It is based on a comparative study of the results obtained from numerical experiments on flat slab-column sub-assemblages. The slabs were designed for punching either in compliance with the EC2 code requirements, which do not allow for such loss of bond, or in accordance with the compressive force-path method which considers the loss of bond between concrete and the flexural reinforcement in tension as the primary cause of punching. The numerical experiments are carried out through the use of a nonlinear finite element analysis package for which, although ample published evidence of its validity exists, additional proof of its suitability for the purposes of the present work is presented.
