The concrete bridge deck is quitely required to be replaced or strengthened due to decreasing load carrying capacity. In this study, to increase load capacity of the reinforced concrete slab, bridge deck is reinforced with the glass fiber sheets. they are examined on the strengthen effect and the static behavior, This paper considers relation of load-displacement and strain-distance. The static behavior of the slab strengthened is represented to maximum load. Owing to that, they are examined on increasing load carrying capacity of reinforced bridge deck and strengthen effect about on the crack.

Fatigue damage to reinforced concrete bridge decks have been found in many bridges. Failure mode of most reinforced concrete decks is caused by local punching shear rather than flexural moment due to cumulated damage. In this study, mechanical degradation of unstrengthened and strengthened bridge deck specimens is experimentally investigated. The unstrengthened deck specimens were damaged under the pulsating loading condition. After the test, deteriorated deck specimens were strengthened with Carbon Fiber Sheet, then loaded to observe the improvement of the fatigue behavior. It is shown that fatigue damaged specimens are similar to real bridge rather than static damaged specimens.

Considerable research was done to study the fatigue behavior of the reinforced concrete bridge deck which is strengthened by carbon fiber. The purpose of this experimental study is to investigate the fatigue behavior and strengthening effects of the strengthened bridge deck with grid type carbon fiber plastic. The results of this study show that the displacement and the total released energy of strengthening of bridge deck are greater than the case of unstrengthened bridge deck. By strengthening of bridge deck, applied load is so distributed on whole deck member that crack concentration is efficiently controled.

Considerable research has been done to study the fatigue behavior of reinforced concrete bridge deck which is strengthened by carbon fiber sheets. Before the strengthening, the specimen was damaged by repeated loads with various repeat cycles. The results of this study show that strengthening efficiency is getting rised in the lower pre-damaged degree. When the fatigue damaged bridge-deck is strengthened, the crack propagation may be controled efficiently

This study was performed experiment for strengthened bridge decks with isotropic carbon fiber sheets received fatigue loading, and compared with fatigue behavior of unstrengthened bridge decks. By the results, this study was examined effect of increasing strengthened to phase life cycles of bridge deck for fatigue loading and application of the punching shear theory of bridge deck strengthened by carbon fiber sheet.

Recently, Carbon Fiber Sheets(CFS) have been used for strengthening the deteriorated RC beams and bridge decks because of its resistant capacity of corrosion and easy repairing works. In this study, the static test tare performed on RC bridge decks strengthened with CFS. Test results show that ultimate strength of specimens strengthened with CFS is increased as 15~26% comparing to the control specimen.

Especially, when orthotropic material such as uni-dierectionally woven Carbon Fiber Sheet, resisting only the unidirectional tension, is used to strengthening bridge deck, the direction and width of the strengthening material should be considered very carefully. Thus, analysis of the failure characteristics and the premature failure mechanism of the strengthened decks based on the test results are required. In this study, the premature failure due to the interface debonding of strengthening material of the strengthened deck slab are inquired into failure mechanism through both experiments results and analyses with prototype strengthened deck specimens using carbon fiber sheet. From the test results, interface debonding of strengthening material is occured at the crack face

The use of carbon fiber rods is a promising technology of increasing flexural and shear strength of deficient reinforced concrete members. The purpose of this experimental study is to investigate the fatigue behavior and strengthening effects of the strengthened bridge deck with isotropic and othortropic carbon fiber rod. This study shows a fatigue loading, compliance and S-N Curve between strengthened isotropically and othortropically. Then estimate the effective fatigue behavior of RC slab using composite rods that are inserted in high special purposed polymer mortar.

Punching shear in concrete slabs is a serious problem in certain structural systems, such as flat slab. In this study, mechanical improvement between specimens which are unstrengthened and strengthened with steel plate and fiber panel is experimentally investigated. The strengthened bridge deck specimens had increment of strength and broke down with punching shear failure. Strengthening ratio should be considered to restraint punching failure.

Since the deterioration of concrete bridge decks affect durability, safety, and function, structural rehabilitation of damaged concrete deck that was strengthened with Fiber Reinforced Polymer(FRP) is increasing the latest. But recent studies on the strengthened structures are focused on the static behavior, however only a few studies on the fatigue behavior are performed. In this study, static and fatigue behavior of strengthened deck were peformed on 11 deck specimens strengthened with sheet typed Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer(GFRP) that were reinforced by two different strengthening methods for the static test. A amount of strengthening material in the each direction such as transverse and longitudinal was adopted experimental variables for the static test and also the stress level of the static maximum load are adopted for the fatigue test. By the results of the experimental study, with respect to the strengthened decks, the resistance effect of crack propagation and effect of stress distribution are improved. In addition, the rate of variation of compliance decreased.
