The artificial neural network (ANN) based damage detection method is prposed for the steel moment frames with beam-hinge collapse mechanism. The natural frequencies, modeshapes, flexural moment of columns are employed as the values for the input layer while the raios of rotational stiffness of connections before and after damage are employed as the values for the output layer. The 5-story steel moment frame with beam-hinge collapse mechanism is used as the example structure.

Externally post-tensioning steel rods led to a 25~66% increase of load-carrying shear capacity in damaged reinforced concrete beams when compared to a control beam. And the shear strength of a beam with two deviators was larger than that of a beam with one deviator. That shows how important a deviator location is for strengthening effect.

The paper introduce the experimental program of investigation on the performance of RC beams strengthened with Uni-Directional Narrow Fabric. A total of twelve shear-critical specimens were constructed and experimentally investigated through static loading tests. Experimental parameters include the shear rebar, the type of fiber, and spacing of the fiber. Testing data were analyzed to investigate the performance of the specimens retrofitted or strengthened with Uni-Directional Narrow Fabric compared to the behavior of the non-retrofitted RC beam.

Recently, researches on FRP bars have been carried out as a solution to improve the durability of reinforcing steel bars. In the study, an experimental program was conducted to evaluate the development performance of GFRP bars for SFRC beams. Specimens were failed by splitting fracture. The development performance by the center lap joint was larger than the development of end of beam. As the lap length increased, the development performance was increased but not proportional.

The flexural capacity of beam-column connection using FRP bars as a longitudinal reinforcement was higher than the predictions obtained using the equivalent stress block, whereas its flexural ductility was considerably lower than the companion connections using mild longitudinal bars.

In this study, the flexural performance of concrete beams containing recycled aggregate was evaluated. The test variable are recycled coarse aggregate content of 0, 30, 50, and 100%. As a result of the analysis, the prediction result of the flexural strength of the concrete beam underestimates the actual flexural strength.

In this study, the lap joint performance for SFRC beam with different depths was evaluated. The specimens had the lap splice details using the high-strength headed reinforcement. For the SFRC beam with different depths, the headed reinforcement which is overlapped more than 20 times of the rebar diameter has sufficient lap-splicing performance.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of steel fiber reinforced concrete on structural performance when applied to joints. For this purpose, the development length was designed not to satisfy the concrete structure criterion. Experimental results show that the maximum strength of steel fiber reinforced concrete increases by about 12% in the direction of the settling force. Also, due to the increase of the tensile strength of the concrete, the strength of the cracks increased by 33% in the positive direction.

According to social needs, eco-friendly material for concrete structures has been developed in recent years. Hwang-toh is one of the eco-friendly architectural material and hwang-toh has been used by partial or complete replacement of portland cement. Four beam specimens with the variations of types of FRP bar (GFRP or CFRP bar) and cement are prepared and tested. From development test, the performance of FRP rebar for PVA fiber reinforced AHC was evaluated.

In this paper, the shear performance of the deep beams with high strength headed reinforcement was evaluated. The experimental parameters are horizontal stiffener and fusing length. The shear span-depth ratio (a/d) of specimens was 1. The development length of headed reinforcement was evaluated to have a great influence on the shear strength of the deep beam.

Numerical analysis was performed to predict for deflection of reinforced concrete (RC) beams in flexure strengthened with textile reinforced concrete (TRC) in this study. TRC is new reinforcing material to strengthen for deteriorated RC structures. TRC consists of fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) reinforcement of textile form and concrete using fine aggregate. This paper presents both results and process of nonlinear analysis method for experimental results published in 2015 by Jung et al. Nonlinear analysis method proposed by Cho et al. was used to predict the displacement at the cross-section of mid-span for RC beams in flexure strengthened with TRC. At the three states of the RC beams such as occurrence of initial flexural crack in tensile concrete, the yield of tensile rebar, and ultimate in accordance with debonding of TRM. Displacements of beams were calculated at the three state and load-displacement curves by predicting results were compared to the collected test results. As a result, nonlinear analysis method accurately predicted the deflection of RC beams strengthened with TRC.

The shear strength of damaged reinforced concrete beams using externally post-tensioning steel rods increased by 25∼57% compared to control beam. ACI 318-14 (simpled and detailed approaches) specifications for prestressed concrete beams conservatively predicted the nominal shear strength

When reinforcing an existing reinforced concrete beam-column building with a precast concrete panel, special connection between the PC member and the RC member is required to solve the time dependent deformation of the RC member and to receive the large shear forces. The aim of this study is to obtain the shear strength of upper connection between the existing RC beam-column and infilled PC wall panels in experimentally and theoretically. Thus, the static shear loading tests were conducted on the 6 specimens with the plate connection. Shear failure was resulted from the weakest portion of interior PC panel, exterior RC, and the connection, when the PC portion which located at the center of specimen was pulled upward from the bottom. The experimental result was compared with analytical result from ACI 318M-14 Chapter 17 for the shear strength of post-installed anchor and PCI Handbook 7th edition 6.8 Structural Steel Corbel (PCI Design Handbook 7th edition, 2010) for the strength of cast-in H-beam. The analytical and experimental results show final failure at the same location. The failure loading of experiment showed larger than average 6% to that of the analysis.

This research was introduced new structural design of atypical irregular beams by applying UHPC which has the compressive strength of 80-200MPa, the tensile strength of 10-20MPa, and strain of 1.0-5.0%. There beam specimen were smaller than actual member in building and new forms created to construction the specimens. The specimens evaluated and the newly irregular beams could improve bending performance by 2.56 times compared to the conventional RC beams.

This experimental study showed that the shear friction strength that the joint regions of hybrid steel-reinforced concrete beam systems was increased by the dowel bars.

This study examined the ductile behavior of hybrid steel-reinforced concrete beam systems under reversed cyclic lateral loads. All specimens showed a high ductile performance with the displacement ductility ratio of more than 4.6, regardless of the details of dowel reinforcement at the joint region of the developed hybrid beam system.

This paper attempts to manipulate brittle shear failure in reinforced concrete deep beam which has shear span-to-depth ratio, a/d=2.0 with aid of lattice model. Timoshenko beam type of lattice model was basically used for reinforcing steel in order to incorporate the dowel action. Truss type of lattice model was applied for plain concrete domain using union-jack type of structured mesh. Mesh sensitivity analyses focused with varying different level of unit union-jack block discretization.
