FRP has higher design tensile strength than steel bar and outstanding characteristics such as light-weight, non-corrosion, and lower conductivity. And, current researchers evaluated flexural performances of flexural members using FRP and suggested the development length and splice length by using bonding failure test. This Researchers has the main purpose to examine the quality of bonding failure in the lap spliced FRP and deformed bar. Variables in this test with total 208 specimens planned are re-bar location, embedment length, covering depth, re-bar diameter. And, this study describes the result of our review on the bonding strength of the lap-spliced FRP and the deformed bar located at the bottom.

It is reported that alkalinity of concrete decreases inter-laminar shear strength of FRP rebar. This could be more significant on thermally damaged FRP rebar. In this study, accelerated ISS test was conducted on FRP specimens previously exposed to temperature of 270℃ for 60 days. For 60 days, the ISS of thermally damaged FRP rebar was not significant

In this study, the optimal performance based seismic retrofit method for fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) jackets in existing reinforced concrete (RC) frames is presented. This optimal method minimizes the amount of FRP material while satisfying the constraints on the maximum inter-story drift, maximum strain of concrete, and shear failure prevention of columns. Both of shear reinforcement for preventing shear failure of columns and flexural reinforcement for improving the flexural capacity of columns are simultaneously considered. This method is applied to 3-story RC frame and the reinforced locations and the numbers of FRP reinforcement plies are obtained.

Five specimens were planned and conducted the experimental study in order to understand flexural performance of the pre-stressing hybrid FRP panel.

Concrete has been widely used due to its high performance per price ratio. However, its durability is highly depended on the temperature, so it requires reinforcement on concrete structures. In this study, a long-term behavior analysis was conducted on a concrete strengthened by FRP tested on the freeze-thawing time increases, freeze-thaw evaluation. The result from this study revealed that as the frequency of freeze-thaw cycle increases, the flexural strength decreases, and the reinforcement effect, in turn, decreased. On the other hand, as the frequency increases, detachment at the binding site occurred due to the decreased durability of concrete

Recent advancement of domestic industries and imports and exports due to increased economic power with the rise, demands the construction of the harbor structures, and a variety of structures have been constructed of reinforced concrete.

Recently, retrofits by using fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) have been widely performed for strengthening of reinforced concrete structure. However, in spite of the weakness of FRP for fire, the research result of it is not enough for practical use. In korea, fire is most frequent disaster which occurs in building. This means the improved structural capacity of building by a retrofit with FRP may be lost by fire if the FRP was not properly protected from it. In this paper, a fire analysis result is presented for the evaluation of damage of reinforced concrete member enhanced by FRP. As a result, the loss of strength of RC member is able to be predicted by using FE analysis with proper material properties for temperature variation.

Recently, retrofits by using fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) have been widely performed for strengthening of reinforced concrete structure. However, in spite of the weakness of FRP for fire, the research result of it is not enough for practical use. In korea, fire is most frequent disaster which occurs in building. This means the improved structural capacity of building by a retrofit with FRP may be lost by fire if the FRP was not properly protected from it.

원형 구조물의 보수/보강 및 FRP를 구조부재로 활용한 신설 구조물 시공을 위해서는 일정한 곡률반경을 갖는 곡면 FRP 부재가 요구된다. 그러나 현재까지 FRP 곡면부재는 수작업 (hand-lay-up) 또는 필라멘트 와인딩 (filament winding) 작업에 의해서만 생산이 가능하였으며, 대량 연속생산에는 한계가 있다. 또한 일반적으로 인발성형법 (pultrusion method)으로 생산된 FRP 부재가 상대적으로 물리적 특성이 우수한 것으로 알려져 있다. 따라서 FRP 부재를 일정곡률을 유지하며 인발로 뽑아낼 수 있는 신개념의 곡면 FRP 부재 인발성형법 제안 및 성형장비를 개발, 곡면 FRP 제품을 생산하였으며, 본 연구에서는 곡면 FRP 부재를 이용한 구조물 보수/보강시 야기될 수 있는 FRP와 콘크리트 부착면의 동결융해 영향을 분석하였다.

Utilization of the fiber reinforced polymer(FRP) material has been enlarged as a substitution material to the general construction materials having certain long-term problems such as corrosion, etc. However, it could be difficult to apply the FRP material, which has a linear shape generally, to an arch or circle-shaped structure. Therefore, an attempt has been made in this study to develop a device to form a designed cross section of FRP material by pulling out with a curvature. A member of the curved FRP product was successfully produced and then strengthened intake tower by curved FRP members.

Structural Performance Test of FRP-Concrete Composite Deck according to Existence of Shear Connecting Plates by Long Term Exposure was performed to study the Performance Evaluation. As the result, it was verified that this deck has sufficient serviceability and structural performance as a bridge deck.

This test is accomplished by one for performance evaluation of FRP which takes center stage for new material recently. generally, FRP is CFRP, AFRP, GFRP which are high tensile rebar and light material than steel reinforcement. Therefore, the research about the long-term performance assessment of FRP is needed. we performed fatigue test in this study as part of the test.

In this study, a reduction in inter-laminar shear strength of FRP reinforcing bars, which is domestically produced, subjected to high temperatures was investigated. The inter-laminar shear tests were conducted on the rebar specimens conditioned in a chamber for specified times at high temperatures. The exposure temperatures were 100℃∼300℃, The exposure time were 0.5 hours to 4 hours. It was found that the critical temperature was for both GFRP and CFRP reinforcing bars, 270℃. Based on the results, a linear equation for evaluation of the effect of exposure time is proposed.

FRP 재료는 높은 부식저항성과 강도에도 불구하고 지난 20여년 동안 심각한 환경적 노출에 의한 재료의 성능저하에 대한 문제가 제기되어 왔다. 본 연구에서는 섬유와 수지로 구성된 이질재료인 FRP보강근이 온도와 화학적 노출을 복합적으로 받는 경우에 대하여 실험적으로 분석하였다. 각기 다른 형상으로 제작된 탄소, 유리 및 하이브리드 FRP 보강근 5종류에 대하여 중량변화, 계면전단강도(ILSS), SEM 및 FT-IR분석을 수행하였으며, 모든 FRP 실험편은 최대 150일까지 알칼리 용액과 증류수에 침지시킨 다음 60, 100, 150 및 300도의 온도에서 30분동안 노출하였다. 실험결과, 또한 FRP 보강근의 성능저하는 섬유의 종류뿐 아니라 수지의 종류와 제조과정에 따라 영향을 받는 것으로 관찰되었다. 침지 초기에는 ILSS 강도가 약간 증가한 후 시간경과에 따라 강도가 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 알칼리 용액과 증류수 용액에 의해 손상을 받은 ILSS의 차이는 무시할 수 있는 수준인 것으로 관찰되었다.

최근 FRP를 이용한 철근콘크리트 구조물의 보강방법으로서, 표면매입 보강 (Near-Surface-Mounted Retrofit, NSMR)방법의 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 이 방법은 콘크리트에 홈을 형성하는 추가의 작업이 필요하지만 보강효과를 높일 수 있고 FRP가 표면에 노출되지 않기 때문에 환경의 영향을 저감시킬 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 이와 같은 표면매입 보강공법 즉, FRP판을 세워서 표면에 매입보강하는 공법의 보강효과를 실험적으로 규명하고자 하였다. 이를 위하여 철근콘크리트 보를 제작한 뒤 기존의 표면부착 보강과 표면매입 보강을 실시한 뒤 실험을 통하여 보강성능을 비교하였다. 또한 매입보강의 경우에는 중앙부를 부분적으로 비부착시켜 그 효과를 관찰하였다. 연구결과, FRP판을 이용한 철근콘크리트 부재의 휨보강방법으로서 FRP판을 세워서 표면에 매입하는 보강방법은 기존의 판 부착보강에 비하여 높은 보강성능을 발휘하는 것으로 나타났다. ACI 440-2R의 휨보강시 내력산정방법을 따르고 정착부분의 세가지 파괴형태를 고려함으로써 표면매입 보강된 부재의 내력을 평가할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다.

충격 하중 재하 실험의 경우 빠른 하중 재하 속도로 인해 실험 데이터를 측정하는 방법에 있어 많은 어려움이 있다. 또한 부재의 국부적 손상을 측정하지 못함으로써 부재의 동적 거동을 왜곡하는 문제점이 존재한다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 충격 실험에서의 한계를 극복하기 위하여 명시적(explicit) 유한요소 해석 프로그램인 LS-DYNA를 이용하여 FRP Sheet 및 강섬유로 보강된 콘크리트의 저속 충격 하중 하에서의 동적 거동을 분석하였다. 해석 모델은 1방향 및 2방향 부재이며 충격 하중 재하 시 부재의 국부적 파괴를 고려하고 있다. 해석결과 강섬유에 의해 보강된 SFRC와 UHPC 부재의 경우 충격 저항성능이 크게 향상되었다. FRP Sheet로 보강한 경우 GFRP가 CFRP보다 우수한 충격 저항 성능을 보였으며 FRP Sheet의 방향성에 의한 영향은 크게 나타나지 않았다. 본 연구에서 수행된 해석은 충격 실험 결과와의 비교를 통해 그 신뢰성이 검증되었다.

건축물의 단열은 효율적인 에너지 사용을 위한 필수적인 기술이다. 중단열 콘크리트 외벽 시스템은 내/외측에 두 개의 콘크리트 벽체와 중앙부 단열재로 구성되어, 단열성능과 구조성능을 동시에 만족시킬 수 있는 시스템이다. 중단열 콘크리트 외벽 시스템을 구조체에 적용하기 위해서는 콘크리트와 단열재 부착면의 전단내력에 대한 검증이 필연적으로 요구된다. 본 연구는 파형 FRP 전단연결재로 보강한 중단열 콘크리트 외벽 시스템의 전단연결재의 매립깊이, Pitch, 폭에 따른 전단내력을 평가하기 위하여 실시되었다. 실험결과 동일단면적에서 Pitch가 넓은 경우 전단내력이 소폭으로 증가하는 결과를 보였다. 매립깊이가 깊을수록 전단내력을 증가하였고, 폭 12mm 와 18mm의 경우 각 각 35, 40mm 이상의 매립깊이가 필요할 것으로 판단된다.
