국내 특수교 대부분은 사장교와 현수교로 케이블 교량 형식이다. 특수교는 규모 면에서 가장 유지관 리가 우선시 되는 사회 기반 시설물로 장기적이고 체계적인 유지관리 전략이 필요한 구조물이다. 다시 말해서는 케이블 교량은 대부분 사용 수명이 100년 이상 되는 교량으로 일반적인 중·소규모 교량의 유지관리와는 차별화된 관리가 요구되고 있다. 케이블 교량에서 구조물 상부를 지지하는 케이블은 주 요 부재이므로 구조물의 안전성을 확보하기 위해서는 케이블에 대한 철저한 유지관리가 필요하다. 진 동에 의한 피로 손상은 케이블 사용 수명을 단축하게 하는 주요 원인으로, 풍하중으로 인해 발생한 케 이블 과진동(풍우진동, 웨이크 갤로핑, 지점 가진에 의한 진동 등)은 교량의 안전성에 영향을 미쳐 붕 괴 사고로도 이어질 수 있다. 국내외적으로도 케이블 시스템의 과진동 및 이로 인한 건전성 확보 문제 가 지속해서 대두되고 있는 실정이다. 케이블 진동에 영향을 미치는 풍하중은 정적 풍하중과 동적 풍 하중을 구분할 수 있으며 풍하중 종류를 고려하여 케이블 제진 대책을 마련해야 한다. 한편, 케이블 교량 유지관리 업무에서는 구조해석과 같은 공학적인 판단뿐만 아니라 전문가 경험에 의한 판단도 중 요한 요소로 유사 교량 형식의 사례 조사에 의한 분석도 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 케이블 교량에서의 풍하중에 의한 진동 발생 원인별 사례 및 그에 따른 풍하중에 대한 제진 대책 적용 사례를 조사하였 고, 이를 통해 케이블 교량의 유지관리 업무에 활용될 수 있도록 소개하고자 한다.

본 연구는 철도교 노후화에 따른 열차운행 중 신속 교체 및 재난·재해에 대한 급속 시공을 통하여 공기단축 및 시공성 확보로 국민의 사회적·경제적 피해를 최소화하고자 한다. 철도교 개량 등에서 필 수적인 8철도하로교 시공고도화 및 성능향상9을 위하여 신속 교체와 성능향상이 가능한 강합성 철도하 로교 설계·제작·시공 기술을 개발하고자 한다. 또한, 개발하고자 하는 강합성 하로교의 경우 철도교뿐 만 아니라 도로교에서 적용하고자 하며, 철도교는 상부구조가 단경간 형식으로 이루어지고 있어 철도 교 사용성 검토에 큰 문제가 없으나 도로교의 경우 바닥판 연속화를 고려 중에 있어, 이에 대한 온도 및 부모멘트 등 여러 문제점을 검토하였다. 상로교의 경우 다수의 거더에 의해 바닥판이 지지되므로 PS의 중요성이 부각될 수 없지만, 하로교의 바닥판은 양단 거더에 의한 고정지지이므로 RC구조 적용 이 어려워, 강합성 또는 PSC 공법을 일반적으로 적용한다. 기존 강합성 구조는 비용, 공기 측면에서 지양하고 PSC 구조의 가로보 및 바닥판과 강재 거더를 합성한 하로교를 개발하고자 한다.

교량의 내하력을 확인하기 위해서는 외관상태 점검 및 차량재하시험, 유한요소해석 수행이 필요하 다. 규모가 작은 교량은 시간 혹은 비용적인 문제로 인해, 상기 과업을 수행하여 내하력을 확인하기가 어려운 점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 플랫폼을 통해 교량의 정보를 등록하여 데이터의 분석에 의해 추정 내하성능을 제공하기 위한 연구를 수행하였다. 추정 내하성능 결과는 점검진단 보고서 상의 안전성 평 가 데이터를 수집하여 통계 분석에 의한 결과를 제공한다.

PSC(Prestressed Concrete)거더 교량은 긴장재(강선)를 통하여 교량 양쪽에서 압축력을 추가하는 방 식으로 외부에 대한 저항력을 확보한다. PSC 거더 교량의 긴장 방식에 따라 콘크리트 타설 전(프리텐 션)과 타설 후(포스트텐션)로 구분할 수 있다. 반면에 프리텐션 긴장의 경우 강선이 구조물과 직접 결 합하는 방식이기 때문에 전용관 삽입 및 그라우트 채움 공정이 생략되어 하중이 비교적 가벼울 뿐만 아니라, 긴장재 부식 방지를 위한 유지관리에 매우 효율적이다. 그러나 프리텐션 긴장 방식은 별도의 긴장 시설이 필요하므로 주로 공장에서 제작되고, 건설 현장까지 이동이 필요하기 때문에 길이 (L=18m) 및 무게(W=30tonf)의 제한이 있다. 프리텐션 긴장 공법의 경우 별도의 반력대 및 긴장 시설 이 필요하여 주로 공장에서 제작하고 현장으로 이동 및 설치되고 있다. 도로를 이용한 이동이 필요하 기 때문에 거더의 경간 및 중량의 제한이 발생하게 된다. 따라서, 경간장 25 m 이상의 거더의 경우 포스트텐션을 통한 현장 제작이 주로 이루어 지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 별도의 시설없이 현장에서 프 리텐션 긴장이 가능한 PSC 거더 시공 공법을 제안하였다. 또한, 장경간 PSC 거더 제작을 위한 포스트 텐션 기반의 세그먼트 제작 공법을 제안하고, 그 성능을 검증하였다.

The purpose of this study is to develop a carbon fiber sheet with embedded fiber optic sensor for maintenance and performance improvement of aged concrete bridges. The carbon fiber sheet bonded method has many advantages in terms of member repair and reinforcement, but it is disadvantageous in that it is necessary to directly identify the separate point generated during the bonded of the carbon fiber sheets by an artificial method. In this study, we examined the method of confirming the separate point of the carbon fiber sheets by examining the strain of the fiber optic sensor embedded in the carbon fiber sheets. The strain rate measured by the fiber optic sensor was replaced by the strain of the carbon fiber sheets derived from the FEM analysis.

In this study, tensile stresses of partially delaminated CFRP sheets were analytically evaluated. The analytical model is a 15-m long concrete beam with a rectangular cross-section of 2×3 m and uses 480 2D-plate elements and 5760 3D-solid elements for mesh construction. The elastic modulus of concrete and CFRP sheet used in the analysis are 27,536 MPa and 200,000 MPa, respectively, and the compressive strength of concrete and tensile strength of CFRP sheet are 30.0 MPa and 4,000 MPa, respectively. In order to evaluate the change of the tensile stress due to the delamination of the CFRP sheet, the whole attached model and the partially delaminated model according to the position of delamination were considered. As a result of the finite element analysis, the tensile stress of the entire attached CFRP sheet showed a constant tensile stress on the whole cross section, and the tensile stress of the partially delaminated CFRP sheet showed the maximum tensile stress on the position of delamination. Based on the results of this study, future research will be carried out to optimize the layout and shape of CFRP sheets embedded with optical fiber sensors.

In this study, the long-term performance of FRP Hybrid Bar made by hybridizing FRP (Fiber Reinforced Polymer) with ordinary reinforcing steel bars was experimentally examined as a part of the development of alternative materials for RC (reinforced concrete) structures especially located in marine or harbor areas. In order to evaluate the field exposure of the FRP Hybrid Bar, the specimen was prepared and the corrosion behavior was evaluated by letting the specimen exposed to the field conditions in the west coast of South Korea. The purpose of this study is to provide important data as a material countermeasure to reduce corrosion of reinforcing steel in future marine port concrete structures based on the results obtained through this study.

This paper presents experimental and analytical results for predicting tensile behavior of FRP Hybrid Bar(HYB). In order to confirm the tensile behavior of HYB wrapped with glass fiber reinforced polymer(GFRP) on deformed rebar, direct tensile tests were performed on 8 specimens. The diameter of the HYB was considered as a test variable and the tensile load, displacement, and tensile strain of each specimen were measured by tensile test. In order to predict the tensile behavior of HYB, numerical analysis based on tensile model of each material was performed. The tensile models of reinforcing bar, glass fiber, and resin, which are the constituent materials of HYB, are assumed to be simple shapes according to their material properties. The results of the numerical analysis through the strain compliance condition of each material were compared with the experimental results and both results showed consistent trends. The experimental and analytical ratios for yield and ultimate loads were 1.02 and 1.00, respectively, and the coefficient of variation were 3.61 and 2.54, respectively. However, a maximum of about 9 mm error occurred due to the slip generated by the direct tensile test in the comparison between the experimental results and the analytical results for the tensile displacement.

Numerical analysis was performed to evaluate for reinforcing performance of RC beams in flexure strengthened with Textile Reinforced Mortar (TRM) in this study. New bond strength model for TRM based on the model proposed by Teng et al. was suggested to predict the flexural behavior of RC beams and effective stress in accordance with debonding of TRM. And reduce factor of 0.729 was suggested by investigation of results on the bending test of RC beams strengthened with TRM. Reliability of proposed bond strength model was verified through the comparisons between collected test results and predicted results about the ultimate load of RC beams occurred by debonding of TRM. The ratios of predicted results on the total experimental results, the average and coefficient of variation were 1.00 and 0.094, respectively. Also, 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 TRM. At the three state of the RC beams such as occurrence of initial flexural crack in tensile concrete, 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 predicted results were compared to the collected test results.

ber reinforced polymer (FRP) reinforcing bars for concrete structure have been extensively investigated and a number of FRP bars are commercially available. However, major shortcoming of the existing FRP bars is low elastic modulus compared to conventional steel bars. Because of these reasons, FRP Hybrid Bar which have the concept of material hybridization(synthetic resins, deformed bar, glass fiber etc) for concrete structures have been developed. One of main features of this bar is corrosion resistance and this is important to confirm this anti-corrosion capacity of FRP Hybrid Bar. In this study, galvanic corrosion current behavior of 3 types of specimens, including two types of FRP Hybrid Bars and one conventional steel rebar, was investigated under the 0%, 1.5%, 3% and 6% salt water ratio condition. The result of this study can be used to evaluate the applicability of FRP Hybrid Bar to concrete structures.

GFRP(Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer Plastic) has a superior corrosion resistance, high specific strength/stiffness, etc. Therefore, such properties can be used to mitigate the problems associated with the use of conventional construction materials. In this study, the various rib and pitch distance of hybrid fiber GFRP bars were evaluated by experimental method. From the test result, thirty two types of FRP hybrid bars such as spiral type with the dimension of rib geometry were fabricated. To evaluate the bond properties of them, direct pull-out test was performed. All testing procedures including specimen preparation, set-up of test equipment and measuring devices were made in accordance with the recommendations of ASTM D 7913. From the test results, it was found that cross type hybrid GFRP reinforcing bars showed the highest bond strength than that of the others due to the higher relative rib area.

Tensile strength was investigated for hybrid bar (HYB), in this study. HYB is made of both steel reinforcement and glass fiber. Cross section of HYB has a shape in which steel reinforcement wrapped with glass fiber. For the production of HYB, rebar of SD400 class and glass fiber of E class are used as main materials. Vinyl ester resin is used to harden a glass fiber. In order to evaluate for tensile strength of HYB, the direct tensile test was performed about total ten specimens. The length of total specimens is 2,200 mm including the grip. Diameter of HYB according to core diameter was considered as a test variable. Direct tensile test for HYB was performed using a UTM with a capacity of maximum 1,000 kN. Tensile strength and strain were measured for each specimen during the test. From the test results, tensile strength and elastic modulus were 317 ~ 341 MPa, 103 ~ 107 GPa, respectively. Especially, elastic modulus of HYB was improved in comparison with usual GFRP bars such as the Aslan 100 or the V-rod.

During the last two decades, fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) reinforcing bars for concrete structure have been extensively investigated and a number of FRP bars are commercially available. However, major shortcomings of the existing FRP bars are its high initial cost and low elastic modulus compared to conventional steel bars. Because of these reasons, Korea Institute of Civil Engineering and Building Technology (KICT) in Korea has developed the FRP Hybrid Bar which have the concept of material hybridization for concrete structures, especially for marine and waterfront concrete structures. This developed bar is new type material in construction field, verification of long term performance is very important for commercialization. In this paper, verification methodology on long term performance(corrosion, flexural behavior etc) of FRP Hybrid Bar is suggested.

To overcome shortcomings of fiber reinforced polymer (FRP), a hybridized FRP rebar was developed by the authors. This hybrid bar herein called “FRP Hybrid Bar” was fabricated by adopting advantages from two different materials, including glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP). Corrosion resistant characteristics of FRP Hybrid Bar were evaluated and the test results were explained in this paper. The use of the alternative reinforcement could allow concrete structures to extend life-span, to save maintenance and repair costs, etc. if the FRP Hybrid Bar was applied to RC structures located in a very corrosive environment, such as marina or harbor areas.

Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) bars have advantages as a construction material, including corrosion resistance, lightweight and high tensile strength. However, FRP rebars have shortcomings, such as low elastic modulus comparing to the steel rebar. With these reasons, FRP bars have not been widely used to reinforced-concrete (RC) structures. To overcome these shortcomings, the steel-hybrid GFRP rebars were developed by the authors at Korea Institute of Civil Engineering and Building Technology (KICT). Mechanical properties of the developed steel-hybrid GFRP rebars were experimentally evaluated through this study. Both tensile and bonding tests were conducted and the mechanical performance was investigated as well as corrosion resistance. As a result of all tests, elastic modulus, tensile strength and boding strength of the steel-hybrid GFRP rebars were all improved in comparison with fully GFRP rebars.

FRP Hybrid Bar, composite structures composed of synthetic resins, deformed bar and glass fiber, was invented in order to solve corrosion of rebar in reinforced concrete structures. In order to bond deformed bar and glass fiber to FRP Hybrid Bar, synthetic resins is used. Curing time of the synthetic resins greatly affect productivity. If curing time of synthetic resins is short, cost of facilities is reduced and productivity is increased. Also, If this curing time is shorter or omitted, FRP Hybrid Bar can be commercialized. So, it can cause mass-production and substantial economic effect. Therefore, in this paper, optimum mix proportion is observed in order to increase economic efficiency of FRP Hybrid Bar and reduce curing time of synthetic resins. Total 9 variables are set, adjusting ratio of hardener ratio, and 3 resin moulds on each variables are fabricated. Optimum mix proportion is suggested based on data measured by temperature sensor.

Pressure retarded osmosis (PRO) process is one of membrane processes for harvesting renewable energy by using salinity difference between feed and draw solutions. Power is generated by permeation flux multiplied by hydraulic pressure in draw side. Membrane fouling phenomena in PRO process is presumed to be less sever, but it is inevitable. Membrane fouling in PRO process decreases water permeation through membrane, resulting in significant power production decline. This study intended to investigate the effect of hydraulic pressure in PRO process on alginate induced organic fouling as high and low hydraulic pressures (6.5 bar and 12 bar) were applied for 24 h under the same initial water flux. In addition, organic fouling in draw side from the presence of foulant (sodium alginate) in draw solution was examined. As major results, hydraulic pressure was found to be not a significant factor affecting in PRO organic fouling as long as the same initial water flux is maintained, inidicating that operating PRO process with high hydraulic pressure for efficient energy harvesting will not cause severe organic fouling. In addition, flux decline was negligible from the presence of organic foulant in draw side.
