프리캐스트 코핑의 중공부 주철근 단절로 인한 단점을 보완하고, 거치대 삽입 없이 주철근을 거치대로 활용할 수 있 도록 철근-콘크리트 접촉부의 응력집중을 완화할 수 있는 하중분산세트의 성능을 검토하였다. 유한요소해석 및 축소모형실험을 통해 검토한 결과 하중분산세트는 철근-콘크리트 접촉부의 응력집중을 효과적으로 완화시켜 거치 시 콘크리트 파손을 방지할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Floating PV generation system, renewable energy power plant, is able to overcome the disadvantages of ground PV generation system and improve generating efficiency. The frame structural system is an established technology among a diversity of structural technologies which has been developed for related fields. In this paper, the both structural safety and characteristics of floating PV generation structures depend on the different placement angle of solar module are investigated to improve the commercial viability, the structural safety, and characteristics of floating PV generation structures. In addition, for the estimation of structural safety, FE analyses are conducted. From the results, the lower placement angle of solar module improves the structural safety of floating PV generation system.

Prestressed concrete (PSC) is a method in which prestressed tendon is placed inside and/or outside the reinforced concrete member and the compressive force applied to the concrete in advance to enhance the engineering properties of concrete member which is weak under tension. In this paper we suggested the precast PSC girder assembled with segments of portable size and weight at the factory. The segments of precast PSC girder will be delivered and assembled as a unit of PSC girder at the site. Consequently, we suggested new-type of precast segmented PSC girder with different shapes of segment cross-section (i.e., I-shape, Box-shape). To mitigate the problems associated with the field splice between the segments of precast PSC girder anchor system is attached near the neutral axis of the girder and relatively uniform compression throughout the girder cross-section is applied. Prior to the experimental investigation, analytical investigation on the structural behavior of precast PSC girder was performed and the serviceability (deflection) and safety (strength) of the girder were confirmed. In addition, 4-point bending test on the girder was conducted to investigate the structural performance under bending. From the experimental investigation, it was found that the precast PSC girder spliced with 3 and 5 segments has sufficient in serviceability and safety conditions and it was also observed that the point where the segments spliced has no defects and the girder behaves as a unit.

HCFFT (Hybrid Concrete Filled FRP Tube) is consisted of pultruded FRP unit module, filament winding FRP which is in the outside of mandrel composed of circular shaped assembly of pultruded FRP unit modules, and concrete which is casted inside of the circular tube shaped hybrid FRP pile. The pultruded FRP can increase the flexural load carrying capacity and the filament winding FRP can provide the confinement for the concrete filled inside. The axial and flexural load carrying capacities of small diameter HCFFT piles were evaluated through the experimental and theoretical studies. In this study, we suggest the cross-section and manufacturing process of large diameter HCFFT pile which is expected to improve the quality and productibility of large diameter HCFFP pile.

FRP products have been widely used in various fields of industry because of possessing high-strengths, corrosion resistance. Accordingly the waste FRP have also been increased and the effective recycling methods of waste FRP are needed. In this study, polymer mortar specimens were prepared with the various substitution amount of waste FRP powder. For finding the mechanical properties of polymer mortar added with waste FRP powder, compressive strength tests are conducted. From the test, we could find that compressive strength was increased with respect to the amount of waste FRP powder.

Recently, strengthening and repairing concrete structures are increasing due to the deterioration of concrete infrastructures. Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer Plastic (CFRP) system for strengthening concrete structures have emerged as an alternative to traditional strengthening techniques, such as steel plate bonding, section enlargement, and external post-tensioning. CFRP systems offer advantages over traditional strengthening techniques such as lightweight, noncorrosive, and relatively easy to install. In this paper, we present the structural design algorithm for the RC beams strengthened with CFRP sheet based on ACI 440. In addition, structural behavior of strengthened RC beams is investigated by varying the amount of CFRP sheets.
