Retrofitting is an alteration of existing member or component of the structure. In civil engineering point of view, it is called strengthening of the old structure. Deterioration of structures may be due to aging, corrosion, failure of joints, earthquake forces, increase in service loads, etc. Such structures need urgent repair, retrofitting and strengthening to avoid collapse, cracking and loss in strength or deflection. Advanced techniques are required to be developed for the repair of structural components to replace conventional techniques. This paper focuses exclusively on torsional behaviour of Reinforced Concrete (RC) beams and retrofitted RC beams wrapped with aramid fiber. Beams were retrofitted with aramid fiber by full wrapping and in the form of 150 mm wide strips at a spacing of 100 mm, 150 mm, 200 mm respectively using epoxy resin and hardener. A total 15 numbers of RC beams of 150 mm×300 mm×1300 mm in size were cast, 3 beams are tested as control specimens, and 12 beams are tested for torsion up to the failure and then retrofitted with aramid fiber. Experimental results are validated with the help of data obtained by finite element analysis using ANSYS. The full wrapping configuration of aramid fiber regains 105% strength after retrofitting. With the increase in spacing of fabric material, torsional strength reduces to 82% with about 45% saving in material.

Reinforced concrete(R/C) is commonly used to structures because they have many merits that compressive strength, economy and so on. However, reinforced concrete has a crack at the tensile section which is due to the relatively lower tensile strength than its compressive strength Latex modified concrete(LMC) has higher tensile and flexural strength than the ordinary portland cement, due to the interconnections of hydrated cement and aggregates by a film of latex particles. The purpose of this study was to investigate the flexural behavior of reinforced concrete beam with latex modified concrete, having the main experimental variables such as concrete types(ordinary portland cement concrete, latex modified concrete), latex contents(0%, 15%), flexural steel ratios(0.012, 0.0235), and with/without shear reinforcement. The beam of LMC showed considerably higher initial cracking loads and ductility than that of OPC, but, similar to ultimate strength and deflection. This might be attributed to the interlocking of hydrated cement and aggregates by a film of latex particles, water retention due to hydrophobic, and colloidal properties of the latexes resulting in reduced water evaporation. The beam with latex modified concrete could be adopted at field for controlling and reducing the tensile crack due to its higher tensile strength.

최근들어, 국내에서 공용중인 교량바닥판의 파손사례가 증가되고 있으며, 파손된 바닥판의 주요 파괴모드는 반복되는 중트럭 하중에 의한 국부적인 펀칭전단이 주원인이 되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 교축방향으로 프리스트레스가 도입된 프리캐스트 콘크리트 교량바닥판에 대해서 펀칭전단 파괴실험을 수행하여 펀칭전단 실험중에 얻어진 균열양상, 파괴모드, 처짐 및 응력 특성, 펀칭전단강도 등을 검토하였다. 정적 펀칭전단 실험결과 교량바닥판의 펀칭전단 파괴는 현행 시방서의 예측식에값 보다 더 큰 하중 수줄에서 발생되어 현행 시방서에서 규정하는 펀칭전단 강도는 안전측의 결과를 보이는 것으로 판단된다.

This article aims to study the effects of adding steel fibers to concrete on the mechanical behavior of steel fiber concrete (SFC) slabs. After formulating the SFC, an experimental work was, first, conducted on $160\;{\times}\;320$ mm cylindrical specimens and $70\;{\times}\;70\;{\times}\;280$ mm prisms. Then, this study was carried out on 20 rectangular $1,100\;{\times}\;1,100\;{\times}\;60$ mm small slabs submitted to a distributed load. Two types of fibers with hooked ends were used: long fibers (LF) of a length of 50 mm and short fibers (SF) of a length of 35 mm. The studied parameters are compressive and tensile strengths and Young's modulus. Plain concrete (PC) small slabs were also prepared to be compared to the SFC specimens. The results showed that the compressive strength of SFC increased up to 25% while the splitting tests showed an improvement of the SFC reaching 45%. Tests on SFC small slabs also showed that a smaller deflection is obtained with respect to PC, which indicates an improvement in strength (up to 100%), in ductility and in resistance to cracking. The LF gives a better improvement in strength than the SF for a 70% $kg/m^3$ of steel proportioning.

A rational three-dimensional nonlinear finite element model is described and implemented for evaluating the behavior of high strength concrete slabs under transverse load. The concrete was idealized by using twenty-nodded isoparametric brick elements with embedded reinforcements. The concrete material modeling allows for normal (NSC) and high strength concrete (HSC), which was calibrated based on experimental data. The behavior of concrete in compression is simulated by an elastoplastic work-hardening model, and in tension a suitable post-cracking model based on tension stiffening and shear retention models are employed. The nonlinear equations have been solved using the incremental iterative technique based on the modified Newton-Raphson method. The FE formulation and material modeling is implemented into a finite element code in order to carry out the numerical study and to predict the behavior up to ultimate conditions of various slabs under transverse loads. The validity of the theoretical formulations and the program used was verified through comparison with available experimental data, and the agreement has proven to be very good. A parametric study has been also carried out to investigate the influence of different material and geometric properties on the behavior of HSC slabs. Influencing factors, such as concrete strength, steel ratio, aspect ratio, and support conditions on the load-deflection characteristics, concrete and steel stresses and strains were investigated.

본 연구에서는 2번에 분리타설된 교량 슬래브의 휨 및 전단거동 특성에 대한 실험연구를 수행하였다. 분리타설된 슬래브의 거동은 구콘크리트의 표면상태, 다우웰 철근량 및 접착층의 부착강도에 의해 큰 영향을 받게 되므로, 본 연구에서는 이와 같은 변수를 변화시켜 실험을 수행하였다. 본 연구결과 초기균열이 발생할때까지는 콘크리트의 표면상태 및 다우웰 철근량에 따라 구조거동에 큰 차이를 보이지 않으나, 극한하중상태에 도달하면 구콘크리트의 표면상태가 양호하고 아크릴수지 처리와 다우웰 철근이 많을수록 분리타설된 슬래브는 일체로 거동하는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서, 본 연구결과는 앞으로 교량에서 2층으로 분리타설하는 철근콘크리트 슬래브의 설계를 위한 유용한 자료와 토대를 제시하고 있다.

The seismic behaviour of reinforced concrete (RC) columns made from high-strength materials was investigated experimentally. Six high-strength concrete specimen columns (1:4 scale), which included three with high-strength stirrups (HSSs) and three with normal-strength stirrups (NSSs), were tested under a combination of high axial and reversed cyclic loads. The effects of stirrup strength and the ratio of transverse reinforcement on the cracking patterns, hysteretic response, strength, stiffness, ductility, energy dissipation and strain of transverse reinforcement were studied. The results indicate that good seismic behaviour of an RC column subjected to high axial compression can be obtained by using a well-shaped stirrup. Stirrup strength had little effect on the lateral bearing capacity. However, the ductility was significantly modified by improving the stirrup strength. When loaded with a large lateral displacement, the strength reduction of NSS specimens was more severe than that of those with HSSs, and increasing the stirrup strength had little effect on the stiffness reduction. The ductility and energy dissipation of specimens with HSSs were superior to those with NSSs. When the ultimate displacement was reached, the core concrete could be effectively restrained by HSSs.

Steel structures often require strengthening due to the increasing life loads, or repair caused by corrosion or fatigue cracking. Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymers (CFRP) is one of the materials used to strengthen steel structures. Most studies on strengthening steel structures have been carried out on steel beams and steel columns under centric compression load. No independent article, to the author's knowledge, has studied the effect of CFRP strengthening on steel columns under eccentric compression load, and it seems that there is a lack of understanding on behavior of CFRP strengthening on steel columns under eccentric compression load. However, this study explored the use of adhesively bonded CFRP flexible sheets on retrofitting square hollow section (SHS) steel columns under the eccentric compression load, using numerical investigations. Finite Element Method (FEM) was employed for modeling. To determine ultimate load of SHS steel columns, eight specimens with two types of section (Type A and B), strengthened using CFRP sheets, were analyzed under different coverage lengths, the number of layers, and the location of CFRP composites. Two specimens were analyzed without strengthening (control) to determine the increasing rate of the ultimate load in strengthened steel columns. ANSYS was used to analyze the SHS steel columns. The results showed that the CFRP composite had no similar effect on the slender and stocky SHS steel columns. The results also showed that the coverage length, the number of layers, and the location of CFRP composites were effective in increasing the ultimate load of the SHS steel columns.

본 논문은 점진적 증가하중에 의한 철근 콘크리트 구조물의 전반적인 거동을 고찰하기 위한 것으로써 콘크리트의 인장균열, 철근 및 콘크리트의 응력-변형을 관계의 비선형성을 고려하였다. 콘크리트는 인장영역에서는 선형 탄성체로 가정하였으며 압축영역에서 탄소성체로 가정하였다. 압축영역의 콘크리트 거동을 파악함에 있어 Kupfer가 제안한 파괴표면 식을 항복한계로 사용 하였으며 associated flow rule에 의해 거동한다고 가정하였다. 철근은 일축응력을 받는 선형의 변형경화 재료로 모델링하였다. 콘크리트의 균열 발생시 인접한 균열 사이의 tension stiffening effect를 고려하였으며 콘크리트 구조물의 해석시 나타나는 유한요소의 크기에 따른 수치해석 오차를 콘크리트 인장부분의 변형연화 영역의 기울기를 보정함으로써 감소시키는 에너지 개념에 의한 ${\epsilon}_0$의 결정 모델 제안하였다.
