본 연구는 외부 온도변화에 따른 GFRP 횡구속 콘크리트 압축부재의 강도특성에 대한 성능을 조사, 평가하였다. 일반적으로 외부 보강재에 의하여 구속된 압축부재의 성능평가는 과거 많은 연구자들에 의하여 수행되어 왔는데 복합재료를 이용한 구속 콘크리트의 경우, 복합재료 자체의 외부환경(자외선, 습도, 온도 등)에 대한 단점으로 인하여 상대적으로 뛰어난 중량 대비 구속에 따른 압축성능 개선효과에도 불구하고 그 신뢰성에 많은 어려움을 겪어왔다. 본 연구는 이들 콘크리트 횡구속 복합재료 보강재에 대하여 고온으로의 외부온도 변화 시 FRP로 횡구속된 콘 크리트 압축부재의 강도변화 거동을 통한 FRP보강재의 구속효과에 대한 변화를 알아보기 위하여 실험적 연구를 수행하였다. 수행된 실험연구에서는 건설용 보강재료로 가장 많이 활용되는 GFRP를 대상으로 상온(20℃), 100℃, 15 0℃, 200℃까지 온도를 상승하여 실험하였으며 가온 시 노출시간의 경우 국외선행연구 및 사전 모의실험을 통하여 약 60분간 시험체를 설정온도에 노출시켜 실험을 진행하였다. 제작된 시험체들은 모두 KSF 2405의 절차에 따라 압축실험을 실시하였으며 그 결과 외부온도가 증가함에 따라 GFRP보강재의 횡 구속력이 점진적으로 감소되어 GFRP 구속효과가 100℃, 150℃, 200℃에서 각각 약 8%, 29%, 27% 감소하는 것으로 나타냈다.

This study investigates the stress-strain relations of internally confined hollow concrete filled tube pier reinforced with GFRP tube by uniaxial compression test. The confined concrete subjected multi-axial stresses have been known as the strength of concrete increases significantly. Many researchers have studied in confining effects of CFT which have only outer GFRP tube. In this study, specimens reinforced with outer and inner GFRP tube were tested by uniaxial compression test. To investigate the influence of concrete strength increase by confining conditions in GFRP tube, 13 specimens with different thickness of tube, hollowness ratio and nominal concrete strength were tested and compared with Steel tube.

Deep beam shall be designed either by taking into account nonlinear distribution of strain or by Appendix A of Strut-and-Tie Models (STM) according to ACI 318(M) from version of 2002. Although STM is accepted as tool in design Discontinuity region (D-region) which mostly exist in Deep beam, Corbels, Dapped ends etc, it has been many modified by researchers. In this study we design deep beam by STMs which use simple truss for load distribution and the model of complex truss for load distribution compare with the ACI traditional which is designed by flexure design method and shear provided by concrete (Vc) as provided in special provisions section of 11.8 in ACI 318-99 [1]. This study aims to find the different and efficiency of deep beam design based on variation of parameter compiled from many samples selected from ACI traditional and two model of STMs, simple and complex load distribution.

This study is all about the presentation of the results of the analyses made to determine the inelastic lateral torsional buckling strength of singly symmetric singly stepped I-beam with constant depth subjected to basic loading condition. A finite element program ABAQUS and a regression program MINITAB are used to analyze the simply supported singly symmetric singly stepped I-beams having singly symmetric ratio, ρ, of 0.1 to 0.9 and a Lb/h ratio of 4.5. Using the results of the analyses made, a design equation is suggested that can easily calculate the stepped beam correction factor Cist which then can be used to determine the inelastic lateral torsional buckling strength of singly symmetric singly stepped I-beams subjected to pure bending moment. Then, the results from the equation proposed are compared with the results obtained from the finite element analysis. The results obtained show acceptable results for singly stepped beams having a ρ of 0.3 to 0.9 and a very conservative result for a ρ of 0.1.

HCFFT (Hybrid Concrete Filled FRP Tube) is consisted of pultruded FRP unit module, filament winding FRP which is in the outside of mandrel composed of circular shaped assembly of pultruded FRP unit modules, and concrete which is casted inside of the circular tube shaped hybrid FRP pile. The pultruded FRP can increase the flexural load carrying capacity and the filament winding FRP can provide the confinement for the concrete filled inside. The axial and flexural load carrying capacities of small diameter HCFFT piles were evaluated through the experimental and theoretical studies. In this study, we suggest the cross-section and manufacturing process of large diameter HCFFT pile which is expected to improve the quality and productibility of large diameter HCFFP pile.
