In paper after the strong earthquake of recently the Korea neighborhood, the Korean government survey show that the 86% of school buildings in Korea are in potential damage risk and only 14% of them are designed as earthquake-resistance buildings. Earthquake Reinforcing projects of school have been a leading by the ministry of education, however their reinforcing methods done by not proved a engineering by experiment which results in uneconomical and uneffective rehabilitation for the future earthquake. An experimental and analytical study have been conducted for the shear reinforcing method of column by axis and horizontal axis load using attaching composite beam. Based on the previous research, in this study, Design examples are given to show the performance evaluation for the column reinforcing of old school buildings using nonlinear analysis is going to be conducted and strengthening method is going to be on the market after their performance is proved by the test.

This paper describes the creep results of experimental testing of GFRP / Aluminum composite beam strengthened RC beams under the two different sustained loads. Specimens have been designed and fabricated to reflect the most common RC beams used in school buildings.

This paper describes the results of experimental testing of GFRP composite beam strengthened reinforced concrete (RC) slabs with two symmetrical openings. The aim of this study is to investigate the most effective strengthening method using GFRP composite beams in slabs with openings for enhancing the load-carrying capacity and stiffness. Test results showed that the strengthened slabs seem to increase the load-carrying capacity by 29%, 21% and 12% over that of the control specimen for diagonal, parallel and surround strengthening, respectively. Furthermore, test results showed that diagonal-strengthened system is one of the most effective methods for RC slab with openings in terms of load-carrying capacity, stiffness and crack patterns.
