In this paper, fracture behavior of high-strength SFRC with high tensile strength steel fiber was investigated. Two different steel fibers with tensile strength of 1,200 and 1,600 MPa was used in SFRC specimens. Tst results showed that fracture behavior was more ductile with increasing the steel fiber tensile strength.

In this paper, finite element analysis of high-strength SFRC with high tensile strength steel fiber was investigated. Compressive and flexural behavior was ductile when using steel fiber tensile strength 1,600 MPa. Thorenfeldt and Trilinear models were used to describe the compressive and tensile behavior. Inverse analysis was performed to construct tensile model by evaluating flexural behavior. The flexural behavior of test results were similar to analysis results.

The purpose of this study is to understand the structural performance of the specimens beam by changing the depth and width of the U-shaped composite beam. To this end, experimental specimens by changing depth and width as compared with a reference specimen were prepared and tested. As a result of this study, growth of the depth has great effect on the structural performance while a width increase has no significant effect on the structural performance of composite beam.

This paper presents the experimental results of flexural behavior of steel beam strengthened with Aramid fiber reinforced polymer plastic (FRP) strips subjected to static bending loading. Two H-beams were fabricated strengthened with aramid strips and one control specimen were also fabricated. Among of strengthened specimens, one specimen was strengthened with partial length of AFRP. From the test, it was observed that maximum increase of 16% was also achieved in bending-load capacity.

An experimental study was conducted to examine for the structural behavior of coupled steel plate shear wall (Coupled SPSW) system what is formed by connection the two steel plate shear walls (SPSW) with a coupling beam. The variable of this study was the length of coupling beam. The testing results were showed that the strength and stiffness of specimen with shorter coupling beam were improved than those of other specimen. However there is no difference of the yielding mechanism.

Analysis studies were carried out on asymmetric column to beam connections of steel plate rolled forming steel-PC composite modules. The main variables of analysis are asymmetric column composite or non-composite, thickness of steel plate and reinforcement or not. As a result of the analysis, the strength of the local buckling decreased from the upper flange of the beam. The connections are improved so that the upper flange surface of the beam has both the moment and horizontal shear resistance elements. As a result of the analysis of reinforced connection, the strength and stiffness increased linearly regardless of the column composition and the thickness of the stiffener. The stability of the connection and the possibility of securing the momentum were confirmed. This result is reflected in the experimental plan of the connection.

The steel double-beam floor system is capable of reducing the construction period due to the weight reduction of the unit members compared to the general rigid-frame steel structure, thereby reducing the indirect construction cost due to the improvement of constructability. However, there is also a problem with the construction management caused by the increase in the number of members. Therefore, in this study, we will apply a combination of different spans of steel double-beam floor systems, to analyze the economic and story-reduction effects, and propose an optimal structural frame.

The coupling beam is recognized that critical structural elements, those whose yield strength is likely to be exceeded in the event of a severe earthquake, should be designed and detailed to exhibit large ductilities and stable hysteretic loop. As a result, the alternation reinforcement details of reinforced concrete coupling beam was investigated.

The artificial neural network (ANN) based damage detection method is prposed for the steel moment frames with beam-hinge collapse mechanism. The natural frequencies, modeshapes, flexural moment of columns are employed as the values for the input layer while the raios of rotational stiffness of connections before and after damage are employed as the values for the output layer. The 5-story steel moment frame with beam-hinge collapse mechanism is used as the example structure.

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.

RC(Reinforced Concrete) 부재는 인장영역에서 보강재가 하중을 지지해야 하므로, 철근부식은 내구성 뿐 아니라 안전성에서도 매 우 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 최근 개발된 FRP Hybrid Bar와 일반 철근을 매립한 RC 보부재를 제작하였으며, ICM(Impressed Current Method) 를 적용하여 철근부식을 촉진시켰다. 기존의 이론식인 Faraday 법칙을 이용하여 부식량을 평가하였으며, 일반설계강도를 가진 콘크리트 보부 재에 대하여 휨시험을 수행하였다. 일반 철근에서는 부식량이 4.9∼7.8% 수준으로 평가되었으며 이에 따른 휨 저항능력은 -25.4∼-50.8% 수준 으로 감소하였다. FRP Hybrid Bar를 매립한 RC 보에서는 부식과 휨 저항 감소가 평가되지 않았는데, 이는 에폭시 도료로 코팅된 철근의 우수 한 내부식성에 기인한다. 촉진 부식실험에서는 FRP Hybrid Bar의 우수한 내부식성 및 부착성능을 확인하였는데, 실용화를 위해서는 장기적인 침지를 통한 내구성 평가가 필요하다고 판단된다.
