This paper describes the experimental results for the structural performance of full-scale coupling beams with different reinforcement layout (diagonal and horizontal). For the reinforcements of the coupling beams, high-strength steel bars(SD500 and SD600) were used in order to improve workability and economic feasibility. The rigid steel frames and linked joints were used to maintain the clear span length (distance between both shear walls) of the coupling beam during the cyclic loading. Experimental results indicated that the diagonally reinforced coupling beam specimen could exhibit more ductile behavior compared to horizontally reinforced specimen. ACI318-14 code is applicable to design of coupling beam with diagonally reinforcement, however, that is overestimating the strength of horizontally reinforced coupling beam. It is remarkable that effective elastic stiffness values of both reinforcement details coupling beam significantly lees than ASCE 41-13.

Concrete structures built by 3D printing technology is formed as the several concrete layers. Thus, 3D printing technology for concrete structure could have less strength than the design. In this study, fracture energy (fracture toughness) tests for layered concrete in various condition was performed. depending on required time for stacking new layer. Based on the results of performed tests, it was found that fracture energy was decreased due to increased non-bonded time.

In the sliding slab track of railway bridge, a lateral support block is used to control the lateral displacement. Therefore, it is important to analyze the behavior of dowel rebar and the lateral support block of the sliding slab track. In this study, high strength concrete and steel rebar was selected to analyze the behavior of dowel rebar and shear behavior of high strength dowel rebar and the lateral support block were compared to the equations developed by Soroushian et al. (1986) and CEB-FIP (2010).

In the case of marine concrete composite structures, damaged by the various environment effect(sea damage, freeze-thaw, carbonation), and then, there is a possibility of going bad in the safety. The purpose of this study is to perform periodic measurements and tests on the durability test site constructed at sea and to provide basic guidelines for future maintenance based on the analyzed data.

reinforced concrete structures, carbonation phenomena associated with deterioration is important. So, this study conducted a visual inspection and a concrete durability test in Precise Safety Diagnosis, analyzed the result, and tried to suggest a reasonable repair method and range of concrete carbonation.

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.

Recycled aggregate is not used the structures due to the negative perception of the quality. Using only recycled aggregate concrete structures to improve these recognition were constructed to evaluate the mechanical properties and durability. The result is determined to be applicable to 100% recycled aggregate concrete in the structure.

A new array was suggested for effective leakage detection of concrete water facility. This array was modified to serve the purpose. Plus and minus currents have been installed respectively on the upstream and downstream water in order to detect the flow of water floating through the crack of facility. Potential poles in two lines have been installed closer than current sources to the weir to measure potential difference in upstream and downstream. Interpreting the potential difference data acquired by the new array, we could predict that where is the leakage zone. The possibility that can distinguish the leakage zone has been confirmed by numerical and physical modeling and problem position expected to leak was verified in field exploration.

In reinforced concrete (RC) structures, concrete carbonation depth is an important criterion for the deterioration of durability of RC structures. Concrete carbonation is influenced by multiple factors such as chloride attack, crack, concrete compressive strength, etc. However, due to its complex mechanism, most previous studies considered only one or two deterioration factors to estimate the concrete carbonation depth. In this study, therefore, inspection data were collected from 8 buildings, and the Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) algorithm that estimates the concrete carbonation depth of RC structures has been proposed. The proposed ANFIS model provided good estimations on the carbonation depths.

Concrete behaves as a brittle material with low tensile strain capacity. By adding fibers, the cracking in concrete matrix is controlled, and the durability is improved. In this study, the microstructure and Chloride diffusion resistance of fiber reinforced concrete are compared with fiber type and fiber volume fraction. From the results, the fiber mixed in concrete must be at least 0.5% regardless fiber type, in order to ensure the chloride diffusion coefficient higher than OPC at 91days. However, the micro structure distribution is affected with fiber volume fraction and fiber type at range 10~100nm.
