CFRP strips are widely used nowadays for repair/strengthening or capacity increase purposes. Sharp bending at the ends of the CFRP strips is frequently encountered at these applications. In this study, Reinforced Concrete (RC) beam specimens that were produced with 10 MPa compression strength concrete were strengthened by using bonded CFRP strips with end anchorages to tension region. The parameters that were investigated in this study are the width of the strip, the number of applied fan anchorages and whether additional layer of CFRP patch is used or not at the strip ends. Specimens were strengthened with 100 mm wide CFRP strips with one or two anchorages at the ends. In addition CFRP patch with two and three anchorages at the ends were tested for investigating the effect of the patches. Specimens that were strengthened with three anchorages at the ends with patches were repeated with 60 and 80 mm wide CFRP strips. The most successful result was obtained from the specimen that was strengthened with 80 mm wide CFRP strips with 3 end anchorages and patches among the others at the experimental program. The numbers of anchorages that were applied to ends of CFRP strips were more effective than the width of the CFRP strips onto strength and stiffness of the specimens. Due to limited space at the ends of the strips at most three anchorages could be applied.

Although the effect of corrosion of reinforcing bar on the shear behavior of the reinforced concrete (RC) beam had been simulated by tests of the beam with unbonded, half-exposed or whole-exposed tensile steel reinforcements as well as defective stirrup anchorages, theoretical methods to accurately predict remaining capacity of this kind of RC beams, especially shear capacity, are still lacking. Considering the possible position of the critical inclined crack, the actual pattern of strains in the concrete body within the partial length and the proposed compatibility condition of deformations of the RC beam, shear strength of the RC beam with unbonded or exposed tensile steel reinforcements and/or defective stirrup anchorages is predicted. Comparison between the model's predictions with the experimental results published in the literature shows the practicability of the proposed model. Influence of the length of unbonded or exposed tensile steel reinforcements and the percentage of stirrups lacked end anchorages on the shear strength of the RC beam is discussed. It is concluded that, the shear strength of the RC beam with unbonded or exposed tensile steel reinforcements and/or defective stirrup anchorages is greatly influenced by the length of unbonded or exposed tensile steel reinforcements and the percentage of stirrups lacked end anchorages, this influence can be adverse, insignificant or even favourable, dependent on the given parameters of the corresponding normal bonded RC beam.

Study on flexural retrofitting of RC beams using external bars with additional intermediate anchorages at soffit is reported in this paper. Effects of varying number of anchorages in the external bars at soffit were studied by finite element analysis using ANSYS 12.0 software. The results were also compared with available experimental results for beam with only two end anchorages. Two sets of reference and retrofitted beam specimens with two, three, four and five anchorages were analysed and the results are reported. FE modeling and non-linear analysis was carried out by discrete reinforcement modeling using Solid65, Solid45 and Link8 elements. Combin39 spring elements were used for modeling the frictional contact between the soffit and the external bars. The beam specimens were subjected to four-point bending and incremental loading was applied till failure. The entire process of modeling, application of incremental loading and generation of output in text and graphical format were carried out using ANSYS Parametric Design Language.

본 논문의 목적은 CFRP판을 여러 가지 방법으로 보강한 RC보의 휨 거동을 실험적으로 비교, 분석하는 것이다. 휨 보강방법은 표면부착만 한 경우, CFRP판을 부착 후 단부정착한 경우 및 프리스트레스를 가한 후 단부정착한 경우의 3가지로 대별하였다. 실험결과는 단부정착한 RC보가 표면부착만 한 경우와 비교하여 연성이 증대되고 극한하중과 처짐 등의 휨성능이 개선되어 단부정착 방법이 효율적임을 보여주었으며, 특히 CFRP판에 프리스트레스를 가한 후 단부정착한 경우가 극한하중 및 연성이 현저히 증가함을 보였다.

A prestressed/precast concrete system was used to build the new Asian Olympic Stadium Project in Pusan, Korea. The stadium(mainly intended for cycle racing) is designed for the 2002 Asian Olympic Games and has a seating capacity of 20,000 spectators plus a few private suites. More than 1300 prestressed/precast components were used and they include single columns, primary beams, cantilever beams, double riser stands, and double tees. Especially, a total of 24 cantilever beams is used on the fourth story for the stands and double tees. These 8m long beams are post-tensioned to prevent cracking, to increase their durability and to serve serviceability by vibration. A cantilever section with cast-in-place topping is 800mm wide and 1500mm deep. Cantilever beams are connected to the column with the corbel by cast-in place concrete. Bonded post-tensioning tendons were assembled at the job site. Dead-end anchorages were installed in the end of cantilever beams and live-end anchorage is the opposite of them. This article presents the geometric layouts, design features and so on.

본 논문은 복수 정착구가 서로 인접하여 설치되었을 경우의 정착부 거동 및 국부응력 분포특성을 규명함에 목적이 있으며, 이를 위하여 단일텐던 및 복수텐던이 설치된 프리스트레스 콘크리트부재에 대한 실험연구가 수행되었다. 위의 실험연구 결과 정착부 파괴는 단일 및 복수텐던 설치부재 모두 텐던을 따라가는 균열에 의해 시작되며, 먼저 정착된 텐던 정착부 주변의 인장응력은 인접해서 긴장되는 텐던의 압축응력 발생효과로 인하여 균열하중에 대한 저항성이 개선됨이 밝혀졌다. 본 논문에서는 복수텐던 부재의 정착부 주위의 변형도 분포와 균열하중 등을 단일텐던 부재의 경우와 비교분석하여 제시하였으며, 복수텐던부재의 파괴기구도 규명하였다.

The strengthening of concrete structures in situ with externally bonded fiber sheets is increasingly being used for repair and rehabilitation of existing structures. Because fiber sheets is attractive for this application due to its good tensile strength, resistance to corrosion, and low weight. But, debonding failure may occur at the beam ends that fiber sheet bonded to the soffit of a beam. The method which can prevent debonding failure is suggested and proved its efficiency by using CPS experimental test. And this paper summarized the results of experimental studies concerning the end-anchorage system. Results show that the suggested method is faithful in strengthening with CFS.

Holed-Incrementally Prestressed Concrete (H-IPC) girders are designed using the following new design concepts. At first, web openings reduce the self-weight of the girder, and also diffuse prestressing tendon anchorages. The reduced end anchoring forces decrease the web thickness of the end sections. Additionally, precast technology help to improve the quality of concrete and to reduce the construction period at the site. For experimentally verification, two 50 m full-scale H-IPC girders are manufactured with different concrete strength of 55 MPa and 80 MPa. The safety, stiffness, ductility, serviceability and crack development of H-IPC girder are measured and compared with each other for different strengths. Both girders show enough strength to carry live load and good stiffness to satisfy the design criteria. The experimental result shows the advantages of using high strength concrete and adopting precast girder. The test data can be used as a criterion for safety control and maintenance of the H-IPC girder.
