In this study, five high intelligent concrete (HIC) test specimens were fabricated by reinforcing the cement mortar with garnet, fiber (nylon and polypropylene), and shape memory alloy (SMA), to examine the effects of the numbers and positions of the reinforcements on the physical characteristic of the SMA. In improving the yield strength and structural self-rehabilitation capability, two or more hybrid fiber, PP and SMA reinforcements, as in SMA-PP, SMA-NP, SMA-2 yielded better results than SMA-1.

In this paper, the method of vibration analysis for calculating the natural frequency is presented. This method is a simple but exact method of calculating natural frequencies corresponding to the modes of vibration for the cantilevered composite materials beam. As a calculations of the method of vibration analysis, it is noted that the result of the second cycle is only 2.2% away from the ‘exact’ result. In the case of cantilevered composite materials beam, increase of mass near the support does not significantly affect the vibration characteristics. This method may be extended to stability analysis of complex structural elements.

Shear capacity of a Textile Reinforced Concrete (TRC) was investigated by an experimental study. Control beam (unstrengthened) and eight beams strengthened with TRC were fabricated to confirm the reinforcing performance in this study. Test variables considered the number, width, spacing of TRC, and reinforcing method accordance with type of attachment. As a results, it was validated that the shear capacity of beams strengthened with TRC in comparison with unstrengthened beam increased from 11.4% to 54.3% according to the amount of TRC. Experimental results indicated an increase in both load carrying and deformation capacities, and also ductility when using multiple layers of textile.

This study examined the flexural performance of hybrid steel beam-reinforced concrete beam systems with a relatively simple and ductile connection. Test results showed that the flexural strength of the hybrid beams can be conservatively predicted using the equivalent stress block derived in the ACI 318-14 provisions. The dowel bars arranged within the connection were effective in enhancing the ductility of the hybrid beams.

Based on the study of the Rule of Mixture for FRP (Fiber Reinforced Polymer), it was found that the tensile strength of FRP rebars (reinforcing bars) with circular cross-sections could be estimated with proper reduction coefficients. In this study, a reduction coefficient for FRP rebars with a diameter of 16 mm was proposed.

The goal of this experimental works is to evaluate the influence of shear strength according to shear span to depth ratio of RC deep beam with high-strength hooked bars. A total of 3 specimens were constructed and tested in three-point bending up to failure. The test variables included the shear span to depth ratio (0.75, 1.0, 1.25). Specimens had a failure mode of shear fracture. For specimen with shorter shear span to depth ratio, it showed that maximum shear strength was higher and that more brittle behavior occurred.

This test was performed to verify the behavior of coupling beam using T-shaped steel for alternation of reinforcement details.

In recent year to improve the seismic behavior of conventional link beams, some efforts have been made by providing special reinforcement material, or using steel link beams as substitutes. In this study to facilitate the constructability and meanwhile ensure desirable seismic behavior, an innovative type of replaceable steel frame link beam was conceived and studied

Coupled shear wall systems, which consist of two or more in-plane shear walls interconnected with link beams, are frequently used in medium and high-rise buildings. In this study, an innovative type of replaceable steel angle for link beam, was conceived and studied.

As viable substitutes for reinforced concrete link beam, the use of alternlate link beam and composite coupling beams have also been investigated by several researchers. In this study to enhance the post-damage repair capability of the link beam, a different type of replaceable link beam with angle connection was investigated.

This paper is about experimental works to evaluate the effects of fiber reinforcement to shear behavior of RC deep beams with high strength hooked bars. It was planned two specimens with different shear span-to-depth ratio. Specimen had three loading points to induce shear failure. From test results, it showed that maximum shear strength of specimen with shorter shear span to depth ratio was higher.

This paper describes the structural performance of coupling beam with diagonal steel tube for reinforcement detail simplification of RC coupling beam. Two coupling beams were made and tested to compare the structural performance of coupling beam with diagonal steel bar and that with diagonal steel tube.

The ultimate load of beam reinforced with polymer cement slurry(PCS)-coated rebar is a little lower than that of un-coated rebar, and almost the same as that epoxy-coated rebar. In special, that using EVA 50% with is in range of 97.0% of un-coated rebar. In this study, it is also apparent that PCS-coated rebar can replace epoxy-coated rebar to solve the corrosion problem in marine construction field.

It is important to accurately predict natural frequencies of a cracked beam for damage assessment. The damage can be confirmed through the comparison of the natural frequencies of an intact beam to those of a target beam. This study formulates the natural frequencies of a cracked beam from wave propagation perspective. This formulation results in an explicit characteristic equation with respect to wave number through neglecting the evanescent wave modes traveling from long distance. The proposed method is validated through an numerical example in which several natural frequencies computed by the proposed method and finite element analysis are compared one after another.

The heat budget is investigated in the Gumi Reservoir of the Nakdong river. In warm climate season, solar radiation effects play a important role in the change of water temperature. The features of the surface heat balance are almost derived by the latent heat flux and the solar radiation flux. On the other hand, in cold climate season, change of heat stored in the water is mainly dominated by latent and sensible heat transfer between water and air, since flux of solar radiation and loss of outgoing long wave radiation balance approximately. For the annual averages, net flux of radiation, evaporation(latent heat) loss are dominant in the Gumi reservoir. The evaporation losses are dominant from spring to early winter. This means that the Gumi reservoir rolls like a lake of thermal medium or deep depth.
