PURPOSES : This study aimed to develop high-performance concrete repair materials for the cross-sectional repair of deteriorated bridge concrete. METHODS : To derive the optimal mix using the dry shotcrete method, experiments were conducted to develop an appropriate performance in terms of durability and watertightness based on basic experiments on materials. By mixing silica fume, GGBFS, and natural fibers, this study compared the differences in each variable. Each variable was compared using compressive strength, flexural strength, plastic shrinkage, chlorine ion penetration resistance, and freeze-thaw tests. RESULTS : By mixing silica fume and natural fibers, watertightness and durability were secured, and by adding an expansion material and polymer powder, a material that exhibited suitable performance as a repair material was developed. The material demonstrated suitable performance in terms of compressive strength, freeze–thaw resistance, plastic shrinkage crack resistance, and chlorine ion penetration resistance. CONCLUSIONS : The repair material developed in this study has a higher performance than repair mortar, and because it uses a dry shotcrete method, the process and post-processing are simpler than the wet shotcrete method; therefore, it is believed to be more efficient for repair work.

In order to determine fragility curves, the limit state of piers for each damage level is suggested in this paper based on the previous test results in Korea, including our test results. In previous studies, the quantitative measures for damage levels of piers have been represented by curvature ductility, lateral drift ratio, or displacement ductility. These measures are transformed to lateral drift ratios of piers for consistency, and the transformed values are compared and verified with our push-over test results for flexural RC piers with a circular cross-section. The test specimens are categorized concerning the number of lap-splices in the plastic hinge region and whether seismic design codes are satisfied or not. Based on the collected test results in Korea, including ours, the lateral drift ratio for each pier damage level is suggested.

교각의 내구성 증진 및 내진 보강을 위하여 원형철근 콘크리트 교각 외부에 강판을 보강한 경우, 교각 외부에서 발 생하는 화재에 대해 보강된 교각의 내화성능을 정량적으로 평가하였다. 범용유한요소해석프로그램 ABAQUS를 이용하였으며 ISO 834-1의 표준화재곡선을 적용하여 교각의 거동을 해석하였다. 해석 변수로는 강판보강두께와 원형교각 지름의 비, 교각에 수직으로 작용하는 축력비를 적용하였다. 교각의 상부와 하부는 힌지-롤러 경계조건을 고려하여 상부는 수직으로 변위가 발생하 도록 하였으며, 교각 외부 전체에 열하중을 가하였고 편심 없는 순수 축하중을 교각 중앙에 가력하였다. 온도에 따른 콘크리트, 철근 및 강재의 비열, 열전도율, 탄성계수 등을 고려하여 보강에 따른 교각의 내화 성능 향상도를 평가하였다. 강판으로 보강한 원형철근 콘크리트 교각은 콘크리트의 중심부일수록 강판 두께의 영향을 받지 않으며 강판 두께별 축력을 주 었을 때 내화시간은 축력비 0.7에서 최대 약 3분 향상되었다. 또한, 보강두께가 두꺼울수록 내하력이 향상하며 60분 이후에 모 두 내하력비가 1.0 이하로 감소하기 시작하는 것을 알 수 있었다. 강판보강공법은 내화성능을 향상시킬 수 있으며 강판 보강 두 께와 보강 지름의 비가 클수록 화재에 대해 축방향에 대한 변위와 내하력이 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구결과를 토대로 원형철근 콘크리트 교각의 외부 강판 보강을 통하여 교각의 내화 성능을 향상시킬 수 있음을 정량적으로 판단할 수 있었다.

손상된 콘크리트 구조물은 적절한 보수 및 보강을 통해 성능과 기능을 회복시켜야 한다. 장기간 공기 중에 노출된 콘크리트는 동결융화 작용으로 균열 및 박리를 일으켜 내부 철근의 부식을 유발하게 되는 주요 요인이 된다. 본 연구에서는 동 결융해 손상을 입은 콘크리트 교각의 FRP 보강의 연성에너지 증가 효과를 분석하였다. 보강 FRP 재료와 보강 높이, 보강 겹수 에 따라 동결융해 손상 콘크리트의 푸쉬오버 매개변수 해석을 수행하여 모멘트 곡률의 연성에너지를 비교 분석하였다. FRP 보 강 높이는 소성 힌지 이상의 높이 보강은 비효율적이며, 동결융해 손상이 커질수록 FRP 보강으로 인한 연성에너지 증가량은 커 지는 것을 확인하였다. 보강으로 인한 연성에너지 증가를 위해서는 고강도 FRP 재료보다는 높은 탄성계수를 갖는 FRP 재료가 효율적으로 나타났다. 또한 각 FRP 재료의 특성에 따라 일정 보강 겹수 이상에서 보강 효과가 나타나는 것을 확인하여 FRP 보 강으로 인한 손상된 콘크리트 교각의 연성에너지를 비교 분석하였다.

In seismic design, hollow section concrete columns offer advantages by reducing the weight and seismic mass compared to concrete section RC bridge columns. However, the flexure-shear behavior and spirals strain of hollow section concrete columns are not well-understood. Octagonal RC bridge columns of a small-scale model were tested under cyclic lateral load with constant axial load. The volumetric ratio of the transverse spiral hoop of all specimens is 0.00206. The test results showed that the structural performance of the hollow specimen, such as the initial crack pattern, initial stiffness, and diagonal crack pattern, was comparable to that of the solid specimen. However, the lateral strength and ultimate displacement of the hollow specimen noticeably decreased after the drift ratio of 3%. The columns showed flexure-shear failure at the final stage. Analytical and experimental investigations are presented in this study to understand a correlation confinement steel ratio with neutral axis and a correlation between the strain of spirals and the shear resistance capacity of steel in hollow and solid section concrete columns. Furthermore, shear strength components (Vc, Vs., Vp) and concrete stress were investigated.

내진설계규정이 정립되기 전에 시공된 콘크리트 교각의 경우 횡철근을 겹침이음하거나 최소한의 배근으로 최적화를 유도하였다. 따라서 지진하중 발생 시 지진에너지를 소산할 수 있는 에너지 감쇠의 효과가 기존 교각들에는 미흡한 실정이다. 본 논문은 반복하중을 받는 원형콘크리트 교각 외부에 강판, GFRP, CFRP 보강을 적용한 경우, 교각의 지진대응 성능 향상도를 정량적으로 평가하였다. 범용유한요소해석프로그램인 ABAQUS의 다양한 3차원 요소를 적용하여 교각 구조물을 모델링하였으며,하중은 교각 상부에 횡방향 동적하중과 교각 전체 자중이 고려되었다. 하중-변위 곡선, 응력-변형률 곡선, 연성도, 에너지 흡수 능력(연성도), 손상도를 고려하여 보강에 따른 교각의 내진성능 향상도를 비교분석하였다. 비보강 콘크리트 교각의 경우 연성도는 78%로 취성파괴 구조물이었으나, 강판보강의 경우 91.0%, GFRP보강의 경우 91.9%, CFRP보강의 경우 92.0%이다. 세 가지 보강의 종류를 비교한 결과 강도, 연성도, 손상도 모두에 있어서 CFRP보강의 경우가 가장 큰 증진 효과를 보이고 있다.

지진 하중에 의해 피해를 받는 교각의 보강을 위한 방법론과 다양성에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되었지만, 단자유도에 대한 비선형 정적 분석에 대한 연구가 주로 수행되었으며, 교각을 구성하는 재료적 특성만이 변수로 간주되었다. 그러나, 교 각의 기하학적 요소와 보강 수단의 관계성에 관한 연구는 수행되지 않았다. 이에 본 연구에서는 CFRP 재킷을 사용하여 캘리포 니아에 존재하는 비 내진 상세 콘크리트 교량 교각을 보강하고 형상 변화에 따라 (교각 직경, 전단 경간 비, 보강 재킷의 길이) 교량 교각의 지진 취약성 곡선 도출하고 내진 성능을 평가하였다. 상기의 목표를 달성하기 위해 Opensees 프로그램를 사용하여 문헌에서 인용할 수 있는 실험체를 모델링하고 반복 하중을 가하여 결과 비교를 통해 해석방법의 적절성을 결정하였다.

This paper presents a framework for developing aftershock fragility curves for reinforced concrete bridges initially damaged by mainshocks. The presented aftershock fragility is a damage-dependent fragility function, which is conditioned on an initial damage state resulting from mainshocks. The presented framework can capture the cumulative damage of as-built bridges due to mainshock-aftershock sequences as well as the reduced vulnerability of bridges repaired with CFRP pier jackets. To achieve this goal, the numerical model of column jackets is firstly presented and then validated using existing experimental data available in literature. A four-span concrete boxgirder bridge is selected as a case study to examine the application of the presented framework. The aftershock fragility curves are derived using response data from back-to-back nonlinear dynamic analyses under mainshock-aftershock sequences. The aftershock fragility curves for as-built bridge columns are firstly compared with different levels of initial damage state, and then the post-repair effect of FRP pier jacket is examined through the comparison of aftershock fragility curves for as-built and repaired piers.

This study investigates the performance of hollow precast segmental bridge columns with reinforcement details for material quantity reduction. The proposed triangular reinforcement details are economically feasible and rational, and facilitate shorter construction periods. The precast segmental bridge columns provides an alternative to current cast-in-place systems. We tested a model of hollow precast segmental bridge columns under a constant axial load and a quasi-static, cyclically reversed horizontal load. We used a computer program, Reinforced Concrete Analysis in Higher Evaluation System Technology (RCAHEST), for analysis of reinforced concrete structures. The used numerical method gives a realistic prediction of performance throughout the loading cycles for hollow precast segmental bridge column specimens investigated. As a result, proposed reinforcement details for material quantity reduction was equal to existing reinforcement details in terms of required performance.

본 연구에서는 차량과 교각의 직접충돌해석을 통하여 기존 설계기준(도로교설계기준, AASHOTO LRFD)에서 아직 고려하고 있지 않은 동적영향을 고려한 실제 교각의 충돌 파괴 거동을 다양한 경계조건별로 검토하였다. 선정된 차량은 10톤, 16톤, 38톤의 Cargo 트럭이며 교각은 경부고속도로 상 일반적인 제원으로 선정하였다. 해석결과 가장 많은 파괴는 상부구조의 고려없이 교각의 상부면을 구속하였을 시에 발생하였으며 상부구조는 2차적인 영향을 교각에 전달하기 보다는 충돌에너지를 일부 흡수하는 역할을 하며 파괴를 감소시키는 것으로 확인되었다. 또한 해석의 효율성을 위해 차량과 강체간 충돌시 발생하는 충돌하중이력곡선을 교각에 외력으로 부여한 간접충돌해석을 수행하고, 이를 직접충돌해석 결과와 비교하였다. 해석결과 직접충돌해석 결과와 매우 유사하게 교각의 거동을 예측하는 것으로 확인되었으며 해석효율성 또한 높아져 해석시간은 약 92%정도 감소하였다. 이러한 간접충돌해석법은 다양한 기존 모델이나 다른 해석프로그램에도 쉽게 부여될 수 있어 그 활용범위가 증가할 것으로 판단된다.
