This study experimentally investigated the flexural capacity of a concrete beam reinforced with a newly developed GFRP bar that overcomes the lower modulus of elasticity and bond strength compared to a steel bar. The GFRP bar was fabricated by thermosetting a braided pultrusion process to form the outer fiber ribs. The mechanical properties of the modulus of elasticity and bond strength were enhanced compared with those of commercial GFRP bars. In the four-point bending test results, all specimens failed according to the intended failure mode due to flexural design in compliance with ACI 440.1R-15. The effects of the reinforcement ratio and concrete compressive strength were investigated. Equations from the code were used to predict the deflection, and they overestimated the deflection compared with the experimental results. A modified model using two coefficients was developed to provide much better predictive ability, even when the effective moment of inertia was less than the theoretical $I_{cr}$. The deformability of the test beams satisfied the specified value of 4.0 in compliance with CSA S6-10. A modified effective moment of inertia with two correction factors was proposed and it could provide much better predictability in prediction even at the effective moment of inertia less than that of theoretical cracked moment of inertia.

절리면의 거칠기, 충전물 등의 공학적 특성과 활동면 경사, 수압하중을 고려하여 암반사면의 파괴거동을 고찰하고 파괴시기를 예측하기 위하여 모형실험이 수행되었다. 절리면 거칠기는 폭, 길이, 높이 등을 고려하여 톱니형으로 제작하였다. 충전물은 거칠기의 돌출부 높이에 대하여 일정한 충전물두께를 유지하는 방식으로 0에서 돌출부 높이의 1.2배까지 증가시켰다. 수압증가에 따른 사면의 거동양상을 파악하기 위해서는 인장균열에 완전히 가해질 수 있는 수압을 100%로 하여 0.5%/min 및 1%/min의 속도로 0%에서 파괴 시 까지 수압하중을 증가시켰다. 모형실험은 활동면 경사각 $30^{\circ}$와 $35^{\circ}$에서 각각 거칠기, 충전물 두께, 수압하중증가 등의 조합을 변화시키면서 총 50회 수행하였다. 모형실험결과 절리면의 거칠기가 없는 경우의 파괴거동 양상은 수압하중 증가 조건과 충전물의 유무에 관계없이 선형 변위거동으로 나타나는 것이 특징적이다. 거칠기가 존재할 경우에는 충전물 두께가 거칠기 높이보다 낮을 때 계단형 변위거동이, 거칠기 높이 이상일 때 지수형 변위거동이 특징적이다. 이는 충전물 두께가 거칠기의 높이를 넘어서면 절리면의 거동특성이 충전물의 공학적 특성에 좌우되기 때문인 것으로 판단된다. 파괴를 유발하는 수압하중의 크기는 절리면의 거칠기가 증가함에 따라 증가한다. 충전물의 두께가 증가할수록 거칠기의 영향이 작아져 파괴 시 수압하중은 감소한다 파괴가 임박한 시점에서 3차 크립 형태의 변위거동을 보이는 지수형의 경우에는 inverse velocity를 이용한 파괴시기 예측이 가능한 것으로 판단된다. 다만 실험에서 나타난 거동특성이 완전한 지수형이 아니고 계단형과 지수형의 중간형태로 나타나는 경우가 대부분이므로 정확한 파괴시기 예측을 위해서는 다수에 걸친 파괴시간 추정이 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

철근콘크리트 보-기둥 접합부는 구조물 전체의 거동에 가장 크게 영향을 주는 부재 중 하나이다. 보와 기둥의 상대적인 강도 차이가 줄어들면서 지진에 의한 피해가 접합부에도 발생하고 있다. 지진하중과 같은 횡방향 반복하중이 작용하게 되면 접합부는 휨보다는 수직 혹은 수평방향 전단이나 부착에 대한 저항력이 중요하다. 따라서 접합부에 대한 내진설계는 설계자가 의도한 연성에 만족할 때까지 전단이나 부착에 대한 내력이 크게 감소하지 않는 수준의 설계가 요구된다. 하지만 인접보 소성힌지의 변형률 침투와 침투한 변형률의 영향으로 인해서 접합부의 변형이 발생하게 되고 접합부의 내력은 설계자의 요구 수준을 만족하지 못할 수도 있다. 이 논문에서는 부재 각 요소가 내부 접합부에 미치는 변형과 감소하는 전단내력을 파악하고 연성을 계산하는 모델을 제시하였다. 힘의 평형과 변형률 적합조건, 다른 연구자들의 이론을 참고하여 구축하였으며 모델을 실제 실험에 적용하였을 경우 타당한 범위 내에서 평가하였다. 다른 실험 데이터에 대한 추가적인 분석으로 불완전한 부분을 파악하고 개선하여 결과에 대한 오차를 줄이는 연구가 필요하다.

It is well known that, in order to accurately predict the behaviour of steel structures a requirement the definition of the mechanical behaviour of beam-to column joints is of primary importance. This goal can be achieved by means of the so-called component method, which, in order to obtain the whole behaviour of connections, provides to break up joints in basic components of deformability and resistance. One of the main joint components used to model bolted connections is the so-called equivalent T-stub in tension, which is normally used to predict the behaviour of bolted plates in bending starting from the behaviour of the single bolt rows. In past decades, significant research efforts have been devoted to the prediction of the behaviour of bolted T-stubs but, to date, no particular attention has been devoted to the characterization of their plastic deformation capacity. To this scope, the work presented in this paper, taking into account the existing technical literature, proposes a new theoretical model for predicting the whole behaviour up to failure of bolted T-stubs under monotonic loading conditions, including some complexities, such as the bolt/plate compatibility requirement and the bolt fracture, which are necessary to accurately evaluate the ultimate displacement. After presenting the advances of the proposed approach, a comparison between theoretical and experimental results is provided in order to verify its accuracy.

The bistable thin cylindrical shell is developable structure with the ability to transition between its two stable configurations. This structure offers significant potential applications due to its excellent deformability. In this paper, the composite thin cylindrical shell consisting of the composite layer and the piezoelectric layer was investigated. The material and geometric parameters of the shell were found to influence its stable characteristics. The analysis model of the composite thin cylindrical shell incorporating the piezoelectric layer was developed, and the expressions for its strain energy were derived. By applying the minimum energy principle, the impact of the electric field intensity on the bi-stable behaviors of the cylindrical shell was analyzed. The results showed that the shell exhibited the bistability only under the appropriate electric field strength. And the accuracy of the theoretical prediction was verified by simulation experiments. This study provides an important reference for the application of deployable structures.

Composite beams using bolts to attach steel plates to the side faces of existing reinforced concrete (RC) coupling beams can enhance both their strength and deformability. The behavior of those composite beams differs substantially from the behavior of typical composite beams made up of steel beams and concrete slabs. The former are subjected to longitudinal, vertical and rotational slips, while the latter only involve longitudinal slip. In this study, a mixed analysis method was adopted to develop the fundamental equations for accurate prediction of the load-carrying capacity of steel plate strengthened RC coupling beams. Then, a rigid plastic analysis technique was used to cope with the full composite effect of the bolt group connections. Two theoretical models for the determination of the strength of medium-length plate strengthened coupling beams based on mixed analysis and rigid plastic methods are presented. The strength of the strengthened coupling beams is derived. The vertical and longitudinal slips of the steel plates and the shear strength of the anchor-bolt connection group is considered. The theoretical models are validated by the available experimental results presented in a companion paper. The strength of the specimens predicted from the mixed analysis model is found to be in good agreement with that from the experimental results.

이 연구에서는 얇은 두께의 복부를 갖는 세장한 벽체의 변형능력을 평가하였다. 벽체의 주요한 파괴 모드로서 휨항복 이후 비탄성거동을 보이는 벽체에서 주로 관찰되는 복부압괴와 철근인장파단을 고려하였다. 길이 방향 인장변형은 벽체의 파괴변형에 중요한 영향을 미치므로, 트러스모델을 기반으로 단조하중 및 주기하중을 받는 벽체에 발생되는 길이 방향 인장변형률을 예측하였다. 예측된 길이 방향 인장변형을 고려하여 복부압괴 및 철근인장파단에 의한 벽체의 파괴기준을 정립하였다. 제안된 방법을 사용하여 단면 양단부에 단부요소를 갖는 17개 실험벽체의 변형능력을 평가하고 그 결과를 실험값과 비교하였다. 제안된 방법은 실험벽체의 파괴 모드와 변형능력을 합리적이면서 보수적으로 예측하는 것으로 나타났다.

Many existing transmission or communication towers designed several decades ago have undergone nonreversible performance degradation, making it hardly meet the additional requirements from upgrades in wind load design codes and extra services of electricity and communication. Therefore, a new-type non-destructive reinforcement method was proposed to reduce the on-site operation of drilling and welding for improving the quality and efficiency of reinforcement. Six built-up steel angle members were tested under compression to examine the reinforcement performance. Subsequently, the cyclic loading test was conducted on a pair of steel angle tower sub-structures to investigate the reinforcement effect, and a simplified prediction method was finally established for calculating the buckling bearing capacity of those new-type retrofitted built-up steel angles. The results indicates that: no apparent difference exists in the initial stiffness for the built-up specimens compared to the unreinforced steel angles; retrofitting the steel angles by single-bolt clamps can guarantee a relatively reasonable reinforcement effect and is suggested for the reduced additional weight and higher construction efficiency; for the substructure test, the latticed substructure retrofitted by the proposed reinforcement method significantly improves the lateral stiffness, the non-deformability and energy dissipation capacity; moreover, an apparent pinching behavior exists in the hysteretic loops, and there is no obvious yield plateau in the skeleton curves; finally, the accuracy validation result indicates that the proposed theoretical model achieves a reasonable agreement with the test results. Accordingly, this study can provide valuable references for the design and application of the non-destructive upgrading project of steel angle towers.
