Many existing reinforced concrete (RC) structures need to be strengthening for reason such as poor construction quality, low ductility or designing without considering seismic effects. One of the strengthening methods is strengthening technique with eccentrically braced frames (EBFs). The characteristic element of these systems is the link element and its length is very important in terms of seismic behavior. The link element of Y shaped EBF systems (YEBFs) is designed as a short shear element. Different limits are suggested in the literature for the link length. This study to aim experimentally investigate the effect of the link length for the suggested limits on the behavior of the RC frame system and efficiency of strengthening technique. For this purpose, a total of 5 single story, single span RC frame specimens were produced. The design of the RC frames was made considering seismic design deficiencies. Four of the produced specimens were strengthened and one of them remained as bare specimen. The steel YEBFs were used in strengthening the RC frame and the link was designed as a shear element that have different length with respect to suggested limits in literature. The length of links was determined as 50mm, 100mm, 150mm and 200mm. All of the specimens were tested under cyclic loads. The obtained results show that the strengthening technique improved the energy consumption and lateral load bearing capacities of the bare RC specimen. Moreover, it is concluded that the specimens YB-2 and YB-3 showed better performance than the other specimens, especially in energy consumption and ductility.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the flexural strengthening effects of RC beams reinforced with carbon fiber sheets (CFS) in variable of strengthening amount and anchorage length of CFS. This study can be summarized as follows. The CFS shares the tensile stress such as rebar during loading test. Also, as the strengthening amount of CFS is increased, the maximum flexural strength of RC beams reinforced with CFS is increased. Therefore, it is confirmed that the CFS's strengthening method is very effective to improve the flexural strength of RC beams. The maximum flexural strength of RC beams with CFS is determined by bond failure between CFS and concrete surface. So, the evaluation of CFS's strengthening effect can be calculated using the tensile stress of CFS which is peeling. When the anchorage length of CFS. But, in case of same anchorage length of CFS, when the strengthening amount of CFA is increased, the ductility is decreased. Therefore, it is considered that the anchorage of CFS in the end zone is necessary.

So, the evaluation of CFS's strengthening effect can be calculated using the tensile stress of CFS which is peeling. When the anchorage length of CFS is increased, the ductility of RC beams is increased because of delaying the peeling of CFS. But, in case of same anchorage length of CFS, when the strengthening amount of CFS is increased, the ductility is decreased. Therefore, it is considered that the anchorage of CFS in the end zone is necessary.

It is demanded to obtain the design data for bond length of the strengthening carbon fiber sheets. An objectives of this study is to provide preliminary data of rational strengthening design method which is adequate to current domestic status. The present experimental study was performed to evaluate flexural strengthening effects of steel reinforced concrete beams strengthened with carbon fiber sheets. Following conclusions can be extracted. It is revealed that the maximum load carrying capacity is increased up to 9% when the reinforced concrete beams were strengthened with 1-ply of carbon fiber sheet which is half-width of beam. The performance of reinforced concrete sections were improved due to the strengthening carbon fiber sheets on the tensile side of beams. It is believed that the strengthening length of carbon fiber sheets must be provided as (0.5l+3d) to secure the ductile capacity of above three for the flexural strengthening of reinforced concrete beams.

최근 철도차량의 속도가 증가함에 따라 철도시설물에도 철근콘크리트 구조물이 많이 적용되고 있는 실정이다. 하지만 이러한 콘크리트 구조물은 공용년수의 증가에 따라 필연적으로 구조적인 보강이 요구된다. 강판보강법 및 섬유복합체(FRP)를 활용한 보강법 등이 가장 일반적으로 적용되는 실정이지만 각 공법마다 나름대로의 단점 역시 존재 한다. 최근 화재나 기타 환경적인 공격에 대하여 강한 내구성을 가진 재료의 개발이 요구되고 있으며 이에 따른 현무암으로부터 추출한 Basalt 섬유를 활용한 섬유보강재가 많은 관심을 받고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 Basalt 섬유쉬트를 보강재로 사용할 경우 중요한 특성인 콘크리트와의 부착특성에 관하여 연구를 수행하였다. 실험변수는 보강폭, 길이, 보강겹수를 포함한다. 실험결과, 파괴형태는 계면파괴, 섬유파단, 그리고 rip-off의 형태가 관측되었으며 보강길이보다는 보강폭이 보강강도에 더 많은 영향을 미치는 것으로 판단되었다. 또한 보강길이가 전부 유효하게 작용하지는 않았으며 이에 유효보강길이를 산정하고 이에 따른 부착강도를 산정하였다. 이를 다른 종류의 FRP재료를 활용한 경우에 유효 보강길이와 비교하여 Basalt 섬유쉬트의 부착특성을 분석하였다.

본 연구의 목적은 실험을 통하여 FRP를 이용한 철근콘크리트 부재의 표면매립 전단보강 효과를 규명하는 것이다. 연구목적을 달성하기 위하여, 3개의 철근콘크리트 T형 보를 제작하고 이중 두 개의 보에 대해서 표면매립 보강방법으로 FRP를 전단보강한 뒤 실험을 통하여 보강효과를 규명하였다. 실험에서 두 가지의 전단보강방법을 고려하였는데, 첫째 충분한 매립길이를 가진 표면매립 (NSM) 보강, 둘째 다소 짧은 표면매립길이를 가지지만 추가의 표면부착 (EB) 보강을 한 경우이다. 연구결과, FRP strip을 이용한 표면매립길이를 플랜지 하부까지 길게 확보할 경우에는 충분한 전단보강효과가 발휘되는 것으로 나타났다. 반면에 충분한 매립길이가 확보되지 않은 경우에는 FRP sheet로 추가 보강하더라도 전단보강효과가 나타나지 않는 것으로 나타났다.

Recently, carbon Fiber sheet (CFS) is frequently used for strengthening deteriorated concrete structures. To strengthening damaged structures, the property and characteristic of the bond between CFS and the concrete surface must be understood. The tensile test of single lap shear specimen was performed to study bond strength, bond stress distribution and stress transfer between CFS and concrete surface according to the bond length. Based on the test results, there were ultimate influence length (UIL) in which bond stress was distributed, and ultimate strain reduction ratio (USRR) by which strain was reduced linearly. Bond resisting force (BRF) was estimated by UIL and USRR, and which was compared with ultimate loads. According to the results of comparison, it was shown that ultimate bond strength could be estimated reasonablely by BRF.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to ascertain the effects of the lower extremity muscle strengthening exercise on balance and ambulation of children with cerebral palsy. Methods: 10 subjects who participated in this research undertook the 12-week the lower extremity muscle strengthening exercise program, which consisted of a series of mat exercises and sling exercises. The statistical significances were examined by using Wilcoxon signed-rank test, a non-parametric test, for evaluating the improvement of balance and ambulation of the subjects. In order to evaluate the correlation among the variables, Pearson's correlation coefficients were also calculated. In all statistical analyses the significance level was selected as ${\alpha}$=0.05. Results: Berg balance scale(BBS) was significantly increased after the intervention(p<.05). Percentage weight bearing(PWB) was decreased after the intervention, but there was no significant difference. Time up and go test(TUG) value was significantly decreased(p<.05). Gait velocities was increased after the intervention, but there was no significance. Stride length, step lengths of the affected side and the sound side were significantly increased after the intervention(p<.05). In the correlation analyses of the measures before the intervention, TUG had significant negative correlation to BBS and gait velocity(p<.05). Stride length, step lengths of the sound side and the affected side had significant positive correlation between themselves(p<.01). In the correlation analyses of the measures after the intervention, TUG had significant negative correlation to BBS and gait velocity(p<.05). BBS revealed significant positive correlations to stride length, step lengths of the sound side and the affected side(p<.05). Stride length, step lengths of the sound side and the affected side had significant positive correlation between themselves(p<.01). Conclusion: Based upon the outcomes as above, it is likely that the muscle strength exercises have substantial effects on balance and ambulation of children with cerebral palsy. Thus various lower extremity muscle strengthening exercise programs are required to be studied and developed in order to contribute to functional improvements of children with cerebral palsy.
