The results of an experimental investigation are presented in this paper for retrofitting of shear damaged reinforced concrete beams by using U shaped CFRP strips. The experimental program is consisted of seven shear deficient T cross sectioned 1/2 scale simply supported beam specimens. One beam was used as reference specimen, and the remaining six specimens were tested in two stages. At the first stage, specimens were shear damaged severely, and then were retrofitted by using CFRP strips with or without fan type anchorages. Finally, retrofitted beams were tested up to failure. Three different CFRP strip spacing were used such as 125 mm, 150 mm, and 200 mm. The effect of anchorages on shear strength and behavior of the retrofitted specimens is investigated. CFRP strips without anchorages improved the shear strength, but no flexural failure mode was observed. Specimens showed brittle shear failure due to peeling of CFRP strip from RC beam surface. Shear damaged specimens retrofitted with anchoraged CFRP strips showed improved shear strength and ductile flexural failure. Maximum strains at anchoraged strips were approximately 68% larger than that of strips without anchorages.

Due to functional requirements, SRC column-RC beam abnormal joints with characteristics of strong beam weak column, variable column section, unequal beam height and staggered height exist in the Steel reinforced concrete (SRC) frame-bent main building structure of thermal power plant (TPP). This paper presents the experimental results of these abnormal joints through cyclic loading tests on five specimens with scaling factor of 1/5. The staggered height and whether adding H-shaped steel in beam or not were changing parameters of specimens. The failure patterns, bearing capacity, energy dissipation and ductile performance were analyzed. In addition, the stress mechanism of the abnormal joint was discussed based on the diagonal strut model. The research results showed that the abnormal exterior joints occurred shear failure and column end hinge flexural failure; reducing beam height through adding H-shaped steel in the beam of abnormal exterior joint could improve the crack resistance and ductility; the abnormal interior joints with different staggered heights occurred column ends flexural failure; the joint with larger staggered height had the higher bearing capacity and stiffness, but lower ductility. The concrete compression strut mechanism is still applicable to the abnormal joints in TPP, but it is affected by the abnormal characteristics.

Girdling underpinning joints are key areas of concern for the pier-cutting bridge-lifting process. In this study, five specimens of an underpinning joint were prepared by varying the cross-sectional shape of the respective column, the process used to treat the beam-column interface (BCI), and the casting process. These specimens were subsequently analyzed through static failure tests. The BCI was found to be the weakest area of the joint, and the specimens containing a BCI underwent punching shear failure. The top of the girdling beam (GB) was subjected to a circumferential tensile force during slippage failure. Compared to the specimens with a smooth BCI, the specimens subjected to chiseling exhibited more pronounced circumferential compression at the BCI, which in turn considerably increased the shear capacity of the BCI and the ductility of the structure. The GB for the specimens containing a column with a circular cross-section exhibited better shear mechanical properties than the GB of other specimens. The BCI in specimens containing a column with a circular cross-section was more ductile during failure than that in specimens containing a column with a square cross-section.

심부 터널 주변 암반의 파괴는 불연속면의 영향을 크게 받는 천부 터널 주변과 다르게 응력의 크기와 방향이 지배한다. 응력 지배 파괴의 양상은 응력 조건, 암석의 특성에 따라 연성과 취성으로 구분할 수 있으며 파석, 판상 파괴, 암석 파열 현상의 결과로 나타나는 V-형 홈 형태 취성 파괴 영역의 범위와 깊이는 심부 터널의 굴착과 보강 설계의 주요 인자이므로 이를 파악하는 것은 중요하다. 취성 파괴의 특성은 응력 조건에 따라 점착력 상실과 마찰력 전이로 구성된다는 점과 진행성 파괴라는 점이다. 본 연구는 이중 선형 절단 파괴 포락선과 탄성-탄소성 연계 해석과 점진적 탄소성 영역 확대라는 해석 절차와 방법을 도입하여 터널 주변 취성 암반의 파괴를 합리적으로 모사할 수 있는 3차원 수치 모델을 구현하였다. 이 수치 모델이 예상한 취성 파괴 영역의 깊이는 기존 사례 연구를 통한 경험식의 결과와 부합되었다.

이 연구는 강섬유 혼입률에 따른 피복두께와 GFRP 보강근의 부착특성을 부착응력-미끌림 관계를 통하여 평가하였다. 실험변수로는 강섬유 혼입률을 0%, 1%, 2%로 하였고 피복두께는 보강근 직경($d_b$)의 $1.5d_b$와 $5.4d_b$로 하였다. GFRP 보강근의 직경은 D13과 D16 두 가지를 사용하였으며, 비교실험을 위하여 이형철근을 사용하였다. 실험 결과 피복두께에 따 상이한 파괴형태를 취했으며, 작은 피복두께를 갖는 $1.5d_b$의 경우 쪼갬파괴 형태를 취했고 충분한 피복두께인 $5.4d_b$를 갖는 경우 뽑힘파괴 형태를 취했다. 이에 강섬유 혼입률을 증가시켰음에도 파괴형태에는 영향이 없었다. 그러나 강섬유 혼입률의 증가에 따라 최대부착응력 도달 후 급작스런 부착응력 감소폭이 감소하였다. 또한, 작은 피복두께를 갖는 경우 최대부착응력에 도달 전에 파괴되면서 강섬유 혼입률에 따른 부착응력의 차이가 거의 없었지만, 충분한 피복두께를 갖는 경우에는 최대부착응력에 도달 하면서 강섬유 혼입률 증가에 따라 부착응력이 증가하였다. 이는 강섬유의 가교작용으로 인해 콘크리트 내부의 미소균열 및 쪼개짐 균열의 성장을 억제하였기 때문으로 판단되었다.

This paper propose a new seismic detail for ductility enhancement by interlocking spiral reinforcement in the potential yield regions of a wall. Through the theoretical consideration and experiment program, confinement with interlocking spirals lead the structural walls to ductile behavior. All specimens show stable hysteretic behavior and good energy dissipation capacity. Also the increase of shear strength mainly induces a flexural failure mode. As interlocking spiral are used in lapped splice region, they increase the bond strength and prevent a early tensile failure caused by the loss of bond stresses. Consequently, the confinement with interlocking spirals may result in a lower value of force reductions factor, newly proposed detail will be provide more economical design.

The capacity design of shear forces is one of the special demands of EC8 by which the ductile behavior of structures is implemented. The aim of capacity design is the formation of plastic hinges without shear failure of the elements. This is achieved by deriving the design shear forces from equilibrium conditions, assuming that plastic hinges, with their possible over-strengths, have been formed in the adjacent joints of the elements. In this equilibrium situation, the parameters (dimensions, material properties, axial forces etc) are random variables. Therefore, the capacity design of shear forces is associated with a probability of non-compliance (probability of failure). In the present study the probability of non-compliance of the shear capacity design in columns is calculated by assuming the basic variables as random variables. Parameters affecting this probability are examined and a modification of the capacity design is proposed, in order to achieve uniformity of the safety level.

Four precast concrete beam-column connectors for the apartment buildings were considered to develop a modified model which was adapt to domestic construction conditions from the DDC(Dywidag Ductile Connectors) of Germany. Special H-shape steel were used to decrease the width of column and beams for the construction of external frames of apartments. It was found that the DDC had high joint strength and ductility, however failed in x-shape crackings in the columns. The modified one showed better behaviors in tests because they did not show critical column crackings at failure. The test result of modified one with grouting were compared to that of the one without grouting within the duct. The one with grouting showed higher strength and ductility in failure than that without grouting.

The objective of the earthquake resistant design of structures is to satisfy on the one side the minimization of damage requirement under earthquakes with high probability of occurrence during the design life and on the other side the no collapse requirement under the design seismic event with low probability of occurrence. The two requirements are satisfied with the minimum strength of substructure as well as the ductile failure mechanism presented in the codes. In this study seismic performance is evaluated with two bridges which have steel box superstructures and T type, II type piers as substructures. In order to satisfy the two requirements redesign of both substructures and steel bearings are carried out.

Accumulations of worn-out automobile tires creat fire and health hazards. As a possible solution to the problem of scrap-tire disposal, an experimental study was conducted to examine the potential of using tire chips as aggregate in rubber mortar. This paper examines strength and toughness properties of rubber mortar in which different amounts of rubber-tire particles of several sizes were used as aggregate. The rubber mortar mixtures exhibited lower compressive, bending, tensile than did normal mortar. However, these mixtures did not demonstrate brittle failure, but rather a ductile, plastic failure, and had the ability to absorb a large amount of plastic energy under compressive loads.
