본 연구에서는 탄소섬유메쉬(Carbon Fiber Mesh, CFM)를 이용한 철근콘크리트 보의 휨보강 효과를 연구하며 CFM의 정착과 겹침이음방법에 따른 영향을 연구하고자 한다. 휨이 지배적인 5개의 철근 콘크리트 실험체를 제작하고 CFM으로 보강한 후 단순지지형태로 가력을 하여 그 보강효과를 규명하고자 한다. 보의 전체 길이는 2400mm이며 깊이와 폭이 모두 300mm로서 휨이 지배될 수 있도록 실험체를 계획하였다. 실험으로부터, 균열이 시작되는 단계에서 CFM의 보강효과는 미약한 것으로 나타났으나, 균열발생 이후에는 보의 휨강성확보의 측면에서 효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 보강된 실험체와 보강되지 않은 실험체의 비교를 통하여 CFM보강효과를 확인할 수 있었으며, 균열발생시와 항복시에 대하여 보강효과를 반영하여 예측한 계산값과 실험결과가 좋은 일치를 보이는 것으로 나타났다.

모듈화된 급속시공 교량 구조물의 하부구조 형식으로 충전 원형강관을 이용한 교각 구조물을 제안하였다. 다수의 충전강관을 연결하여 표준화된 제품으로 생산하여 운반 조립할 수 있는 구조 상세와 연결 상세를 제안하였다. 제안된 구조상세와 연결상세를 반영한 모듈러 교각의 정적실험을 강축과 약축에 대해서 횡변위 조건으로 수행하였다. 단일 기둥으로 설계한 것에 비하여 모듈러 CFT 교각 시스템이 브레이싱으로 연결된 편심효과로 인해 5.23배 높은 휨강성을 나타내었고 휨강도도 6배 이상 증가하였다. 합리적인 설계를 위해서는 모듈러 CFT 교각을 프레임으로 모델링하여 응력 및 처짐 검토를 수행하는 것이 타당한 것으로 나타났다. 교각을 구성하는 기둥간의 간격 조정을 통해서 필요한 내하력을 확보할 수 있을 것으로 판단되고 설계를 위한 고려사항을 제안하였다.

This paper presents a full-scale experimental test to investigate the flexural behavior of an innovative dovetail ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) joint designed for the 5^th Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge. The test specimen had a dimension of 3600 × 1600 × 170 mm, in accordance with the real bridge. The failure mode, crack pattern and structural response were presented. The ductility and stiffness degradation of the tested specimens were explicitly discussed. Test results indicated that different from conventional reinforced concrete slabs, well-distributed cracks with small spacing were observed for UHPC joint slabs at failure. The average nominal flexural cracking strength of the test specimens was 7.7 MPa, signifying good crack resistance of the proposed dovetail UHPC joint. It is recommended that high grade reinforcement be cooperatively used to take full advantage of the superior mechanical property of UHPC. A new ductility index, expressed by dividing the ultimate deflection by flexural cracking deflection, was introduced to evaluate the post-cracking ductility capacity. Finally, a strut-and-tie (STM) model was developed to predict the ultimate strength of the proposed UHPC joint.

Considerable part of reinforced concrete building has suffered from destructive earthquakes in Turkey. This situation makes necessary to determine nonlinear behavior and seismic performance of existing RC buildings. Inelastic response of buildings to static and dynamic actions should be determined by considering both flexural plastic hinges and brittle shear hinges. However, shear capacities of members are generally neglected due to time saving issues and convergence problems and only flexural response of buildings are considered in performance assessment studies. On the other hand, recent earthquakes showed that the performance of older buildings is mostly controlled by shear capacities of members rather than flexure. Demand estimation is as important as capacity estimation for the reliable performance prediction in existing RC buildings. Demand estimation methods based on strength reduction factor (R), ductility (${\mu}$), and period (T) parameters ($R-{\mu}-T$) and damping dependent demand formulations are widely discussed and studied by various researchers. Adopted form of $R-{\mu}-T$ based demand estimation method presented in Eurocode 8 and Turkish Earthquake Code-2007 and damping based Capacity Spectrum Method presented in ATC-40 document are the typical examples of these two different approaches. In this study, eight different existing RC buildings, constructed before and after Turkish Earthquake Code-1998, are selected. Capacity curves of selected buildings are obtained with and without considering the brittle shear capacities of members. Seismic drift demands occurred in buildings are determined by using both $R-{\mu}-T$ and damping based estimation methods. Results have shown that not only capacity estimation methods but also demand estimation approaches affect the performance of buildings notably. It is concluded that including or excluding the shear capacity of members in nonlinear modeling of existing buildings significantly affects the strength and deformation capacities and hence the performance of buildings.

In mountainous areas of China, concrete poles with connectors are widely employed in power transmission due to its convenience of manufacture and transportation. The bearing capacity of the poles must have degenerated over time, and most of the steel connectors have been corroded. Carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) offers a durable, light-weight alternative in strengthening those poles that have served for many years. In this paper, the bearing capacity and failure mechanism of CFRP sheet strengthened existing reinforced concrete poles with corrosion steel connectors were investigated. Four poles were selected to conduct flexural capacity test. Two poles were strengthened by single-layer longitudinal CFRP sheet, one pole was strengthened by double-layer longitudinal CFRP sheets and the last specimen was not strengthened. Results indicate that the failure is mainly bond failure between concrete and the external CFRP sheet, and the specimens fail in a brittle pattern. The cross-sectional strains of specimens approximately follow the plane section assumption in the early stage of loading, but the strain in the tensile zone no longer conforms to this assumption when the load approaches the failure load. Also, bearing capacity and stiffness of the strengthened specimens are much larger than those without CFRP sheet. The bearing capacity, initial stiffness and elastic-plastic stiffness of specimen strengthened by double-layer CFRP are larger than those strengthened by single-layer CFRP. Weighting the cost-effective effect, it is more economical and reasonable to strengthen with single-layer CFRP sheet. The results can provide a reference to the same type of poles for strengthening design.

A methodology based on Teaching Learning-Based Optimization (TLBO) algorithm is proposed for optimum design of reinforced concrete retaining walls. The objective function is to minimize total material cost including concrete and steel per unit length of the retaining walls. The requirements of the American Concrete Institute (ACI 318-05-Building code requirements for structural concrete) are considered for reinforced concrete (RC) design. During the optimization process, totally twenty-nine design constraints composed from stability, flexural moment capacity, shear strength capacity and RC design requirements such as minimum and maximum reinforcement ratio, development length of reinforcement are checked. Comparing to other nature-inspired algorithm, TLBO is a simple algorithm without parameters entered by users and self-adjusting ranges without intervention of users. In numerical examples, a retaining wall taken from the documented researches is optimized and the several effects (backfill slope angle, internal friction angle of retaining soil and surcharge load) on the optimum results are also investigated in the study. As a conclusion, TLBO based methods are feasible.

본 연구에서는 대골형 파형강판 합성부재의 구성요소를 고강도 재료로 대체하고 이음방법, 전단보강방법 등 단면구성방법에 따른 단위부재의 휨거동을 분석하여 대골형 파형강판 합성부재 구조물의 장대화 및 적용범위확대를 위한 기초자료를 제시하고자 하였다. GR40과 SS590 강재를 적용한 합성구조체의 휨실험 결과, SS590 파형강판을 적용한 경우 정모멘트 하중저항성능은 약 28%가 증가되는 것으로 확인되었으나 부모멘트 저항성능은 미미한 것으로 확인되었다. 볼트의 개수를 증가시킨 파형강판 이음방법의 정모멘트 및 부모멘트 저항성능증가율은 높지 않은 것으로 확인되었다. 이는 고강도 재료에 따른 볼트의 접합 특성(볼트중심에서 연단까지의 거리, 볼트중심간 간격 등)이 거동에 영향을 미쳤기 때문인 것으로 추정된다. 전단보강재 간격별 휨실험 결과, 보강재 간격이 감소할수록 정모멘트에 대한 하중저항성능, 부모멘트에 대한 변위저항성능이 향상되는 것으로 확인되었다. 전단보강재 형상별 휨실험결과, U형 보강재 적용에 따른 정 부모멘트 저항성능 증가율은 약 2%~7% 로 낮았다. 따라서 대골형 파형강판 합성부재의 휨성능증가에는 파형강판의 강종, 전단보강재 간격, 보강철근의 특성이 주요한 영향을 미치는 것으로 판단된다.

일반적으로 폴리우레아는 부착성능, 신장률, 투수 저항성이 매우 높아서 구조물의 방수 코팅재료로 많이 사용되고 있다. 또한, 스프레이건을 이용하여 쉽고 빠르게 작업이 가능하며, 약 30초 이내에 경화가 되기 때문에 시공성도 매우 뛰어나 우수한 기능성 재료로 각광받고 있다. 그러나, 건설산업에서 폴리우레아는 대부분이 방수코팅재료로 사용되고 있으며, 구조물의 성능을 향상시키는 보강재로 사용하기 위한 연구는 전무하다. 따라서, 본 연구는 폴리우레아를 일반 구조물의 보강재로 사용하기 위한 기초적인 연구로 폴리우레아의 구성성분의 변화에 따른 영향을 파악하고자 한다. 또한, 개발된 폴리우레아의 구조 보강성능을 확인하기 위하여, RC 보와 슬래브를 제작하여 휨 성능 실험을 수행하였다. 실험 결과, 폴리우레아는 콘크리트 시험체와 일체거동을 보이며, 연성과 강성이 상승하는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나, 섬유시트와 폴리우레아로 2중 보강한 시편은 오히려 섬유시트만으로 보강한 시편보다 낮은 성능을 보이는 것으로 나타났다.

In the previous studies, the authors proposed the use of laminated veneer lumber - carbon fiber reinforced polymer (LVL-CFRP) composite beams for structural application. Bond strength of the LVL-to-CFRP interface and flexural strengthening schemes to increase the bending capacity subjected to positive and negative moment were discussed in the previous works. In this article, theoretical models are proposed to predict the moment capacity when the LVL-CFRP beams are subjected to negative moment. Two common failure modes - CFRP fracture and debonding of CFRP are considered. The non-linear model proposed for positive moment is modified for negative moment to determine the section moment capacity. For the debonding based failure, previously developed bond strength model for CFRP-to-LVL interface is implemented. The theoretical models are validated against the experimental results and then use to determine the moment-rotation behaviour and rotational rigidity to compare the efficacy of various strengthening techniques. It is found that combined use of bi- and uni-directional CFRP U-wrap at the joint performs well in terms of both moment capacity and rotational rigidity.
