Large and complex structures are being built now-a-days and, they are required to be functional even under extreme loading and environmental conditions. In order to meet the safety and maintenance demands, there is a need to build sensors integrated structural system, which can sense and provide necessary information about the structural response to complex loading and environment. Sophisticated tools have been developed for the design and construction of civil engineering structures. However, very little has been accomplished in the area of monitoring and rehabilitation. The employment of appropriate sensor is therefore crucial, and efforts must be directed towards non-destructive testing techniques that remain functional throughout the life of the structure. Fiber optic sensors are emerging as a superior non-destructive tool for evaluating the health of civil engineering structures. Flexibility, small in size and corrosion resistance of optical fibers allow them to be directly embedded in concrete structures. The inherent advantages of fiber optic sensors over conventional sensors include high resolution, ability to work in difficult environment, immunity from electromagnetic interference, large band width of signal, low noise and high sensitivity. This paper brings out the potential and current status of technology of fiber optic sensors for civil engineering applications. The importance of employing fiber optic sensors for health monitoring of civil engineering structures has been highlighted. Details of laboratory studies carried out on fiber optic strain sensors to assess their suitability for civil engineering applications are also covered.

This study is to investigate its use by applying stainless steel wire mash reinforcement method of construction, which is newly developed, on the high strength concrete beam mixed with polymer-steel fiber. In this test, it is investigated and observed such as follows: the ultimate load, the initial flexure crack load, the initial diagonal tension crack load, the relation between load and deflection, load-strain relation, and also crack growth and fracture aspect by increasing load. The results of this test are; first, the stainless steel wire showed some useful reinforcement effects in multiplying the steel's resisting force of moment to the tensile force of beam or slab: second, the promoting strength and internal force was made in the process of the integration at the same reaction by using the penetrating polymer-mortar with an excellent durability and physical property. On the basis of this results, because such instances in applying stainless steel wire Mash reinforcement method of construction have been few so far, through the experimental investigation such as this test over and over again, the efficient and useful method must be developed for the practice.

The Rehabilitation and repair of structurally deteriorated reinforced concrete structure become more necessary as time goes by. The goal of this study is that provide the data about flexural retrofitted effect of RC beam strengthened by Steel Plate. In order to provide the data, 6 specimens were manufactured and divided with standard specimen and damaged degree A, B, C. Division of damaged A, B, C is based on deflection and degree of crack. In the determination of deflection and degree of crack, we loaded standard specimen to failure under two-point bending to find yielding load and failure load, and then we found deflections and degree of crack that correspond to 75%, 100%, 105% of the yielding load of standard specimen respectively. When we are compared with standard specimen and strengthened specimens, we founded from the experimental results that flexural capacity of structurally damaged beam strengthened by Steel Plate incremented highly, ductility was decreased, and energy absorbtion capacity was almost same.

Using vertical links in eccentric braced frames is one of the best passive structural control approaches due to its effectiveness and practicality advantages. However, in spite of the subject importance there are limited studies which evaluate the seismic reliability and response reduction factor (R-factor) in this system. Therefore, the present study has been conducted to improve the current understanding about failure mechanism in the structural systems equipped with vertical links. For this purpose, following definition of demand and capacity response reduction factors, these parameters are computed for three different buildings (4, 8 and 12 stories) equipped with this system. In this regards, pushover and incremental dynamic analysis have been employed, and seismic reliability as well as multi-level response reduction factor according to the seismic demand and capacity of the frames have been derived. Based on the results, this system demonstrates high ductility and seismic energy dissipation capacity, and using the response reduction factor as high as 8 also provides acceptable reliability for the frame in the moderate and high earthquake intensities. This system can be used in original buildings as lateral load resisting system in addition to seismic rehabilitation of the existing buildings.

In this paper, numerical and experimental assessments have been conducted in order to investigate the capability of using CFRP for the seismic capacity improvement and relocation of plastic hinge in reinforced concrete connections. Two scaled down exterior reinforced concrete beam to column connections have been used. These two connections from a strengthened moment frame have been tested under uniformly distributed load before and after optimization. The results of experimental tests have been used to verify the accuracy of numerical modeling using computational ABAQUS software. Application of FRP plate on the web of the beam in connections to improve its capacity is of interest in this paper. Several parametric studies were carried out for CFRP reinforced samples, with different lengths and thicknesses in order to relocate the plastic hinge away from the face of the column.

The aim of this research is reinforcing of concrete with variety of fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) configurations and investigates the load capacity and ductility of these connections using an experimental investigation. Six scaled-down RC exterior joints were tested under moderately monotonic loads. The results show that, the shape of the FRP had a different effect on the joint capacity and the connection ductility coefficient. The greatest effect on increasing the ductility factor was seen in the sample where two reinforcement plates were used on both sides of the beam web (RCS5 sample). For the sample with the presence of FRP plates at the top and bottom of the beam (RCS3 sample), the ductility factor was reduced even the load capacity of this sample increased. Except for the RCS3 sample, the rest of the samples exhibited an increase in the ductility factor due to the FRP reinforcement.

This paper presents a closed-form higher-order analysis of interfacial shear stresses in RC continuous beams strengthened with bonded prestressed laminates. For retrofitting reinforced concrete continuous beams is to bond fiber reinforced prestressed composite plates to their tensile faces. An important failure mode of such plated beams is the debonding of the composite plates from the concrete due to high level of stress concentration in the adhesive at the ends of the composite plate. The model is based on equilibrium and deformations compatibility requirements in and all parts of the strengthened beam, where both the shear and normal stresses are assumed to be invariant across the adhesive layer thickness. In the present theoretical analysis, the adherend shear deformations are taken into account by assuming a parabolic shear stress through the thickness of both the RC continuous beams strengthened with bonded prestressed laminates. The theoretical predictions are compared with other existing solutions. A parametric study has been conducted to investigate the sensitivity of interface behavior to parameters such as laminate stiffness and the thickness of the laminate where all were found to have a marked effect on the magnitude of maximum shear and normal stress in the composite member.

최근 철근콘크리트(RC) 구조물의 보강기법으로 큰 인장강도와 탄성계수를 갖는 탄소섬유계열 보강재를 사용한 보강공법 개발과 이와 관련된 많은 실험 및 이론적 연구가 진행되고 있다. CFS 및 강판 보강재에 의한 보강시 야기되는 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 대체 재료로 국내에 도입된 탄소섬유메쉬(CFM)를 실 구조물의 보강공사에 적용하기 위하여 우선적으로 CFM을 이용한 보강기법 및 보강된 부재의 구조성능 규명에 대한 연구가 요구되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 탄소섬유메쉬와 콘크리트의 부착특성 규명을 위한 실험적 연구를 수행하였다. 일반적으로 탄소섬유 부착 보강공법은 보강재와 기존 부재와의 부착성능에 의해 보강효과가 지배받게 된다. 즉 부착강도가 충분한 보강효과를 기대할 수 없을 경우의 부착파괴의 가장 큰 원인으로는 계면에서의 전단강도에 기인한다고 할 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 CFM을 콘크리트에 부착하는데 있어서 정착철물(Clip)의 설치 유무, 정착철물의 정착위치, 정착철물의 설치 열 수, 부착 모르타르의 바름 유무, 부착 모르타르의 바름 두께 등의 실험 변수를 설정하고 인장전단 실험을 수행하였다. 실험결과 적절한 정착철물의 부착위치 및 정착철물 및 부착 모르타르의 부착특성을 규명할 수 있었다. 또한 본 연구에서는 범용 비선형 유한요소 해석 프로그램인 ABAQUS를 이용하여 CFM의 부착특성을 규명하기 위한 유한요소 모델 및 해석기법을 개발하였고 이를 실험결과와 비교하여 이에 대한 검증을 하였다.

본 연구에서는 노후 콘크리트 포장의 효율적 유지보수를 위하여 국내 최초 적용된 연속철근 콘크리트 개념의 얇은 덧씌우기 공법(CRCO : Thin Bonded Continuously Reinforced Concrete Overlay)의 거동 특성을 살펴보았다. 서해안 고속도로의 폐도 구간에 CRCO 공법과 JCO 공법(Jointed Concrete Overlay)을 시험시공 하였으며, CRCO 공법에 삽입된 종방향 철근으로 효과를 검토하였다. 시험시공 후 균열 조사 결과, CRCO 구간의 기존 줄눈부에서부터 반사 균열이 발생하였으나 그 폭은 매우 좁았다. 철근의 구속역할로 인해 CRCO 공법에서 더 많은 균열이 발생하였으며, 그 간격은 CRCP 보다 더 좁았다. 부착강도 측정 결과, 표면 처리로 Cold Milling 후 이물질을 제거하여 초기에 층간 부착 문제가 발생하지 않았다. 기존 JCP의 줄눈부에 수평으로 매설한 계측기 데이터분석 결과, 초기 균열 터짐 시 일정 폭 이상으로 벌어지지 못하게 종방향 철근이 잡아주는 역할을 하였으며, 온도변화에 대한 수평 변위 발생 억제 효과도 있었다. 하지만 층간 부착 문제가 발생할 경우, 철근의 구속 효과는 저감되었다. 수직 계측기의 데이터를 통해서 철근이 없는 JCO 공법에 비해 CRCO 공법은 종방향 철근 위치에서 층간 부착 문제가 발생하지 않았으며, 현장 코어링 작업을 통해 이를 확인하였다. 슬래브 내의 수평 거동을 분석한 결과, 초기에 철근의 구속으로 인해 CRCO 공법에서는 인장 변형률이, 구속이 미미한 JCO 공법은 압축력이 발생하였다. FWD 데이터 분석 결과, CRCO 공법의 처짐량이 JCO 보다 더 적게 발생하였으며, 지지력 평가에서는 전반적으로 덧씌우기 후가 더 크게 나타났으며, 특히 CRCO 공법이 JCO 공법에 비해 지지력에 대한 덧씌우기 두께 효과가 더 컸다.
