Many Korean domestic masonry structures constructed since 1970 have been found to be vulnerable to earthquakes because they lack efficient lateral force resistance. Many studies have shown that the brick and mortar suddenly experience brittle fracture and out-of-plane collapse when they reach the inelastic range. This study evaluated the seismic retrofitting of non-reinforced masonry with Hybrid Super Coating (HSC) and Cast, manufactured using glass fiber. Four types of specimen original specimen (BR-OR), one layered HSC (BR-HS-O), two-layered HSC (BR-HS-B), one layered HSC, and Cast (BR-CT-HS-O) were constructed and analyzed using compression, flexural tensile, diagonal compression, and triplet tests. The specimen responses were presented and discussed in load-displacement curves, maximum strength, and crack propagation. The compressive strength of the retrofit specimens slightly increased, while the flexural tensile strength of the retrofit specimens increased significantly. In addition, the HSC and Cast also produced a considerable increase in the ductile response of specimens before failure. Diagonal compression test results showed that HSC delayed brittle cracks between the mortar and bricks and resulted in larger displacement before failure than the original brick. The triplet test results confirmed that the bonding strength of the retrofit specimens also increased. The application of HSC and Cast was found to restrain the occurrence of brittle failure effectively and delayed the collapse of masonry wall structures.

In this research, carbon nanotubes(CNT) and graphene nanoplates(GnP) are deposited on the surface of carbon fibers(CF) at once. Investigating the effect between CNT and GnP on increasing the interfacial and mechanical properties of carbon fiber reinforced epoxy composites(CFRP). The cross section of the CFRP composites indicates that the GnPs/CNTs hybrid coating exhibits significantly higher mechanical performance in all coating samples. The interlayer shear strength of the GnPs/CNT hybrid coated CFRP composite was 90% higher than that of the uncoated CF composite. The flexural and tensile strength of CFRP composites using GnPs /CNT hybrid coatings were improved by 52% and 70%, respectively, compared to uncoated CF.

금속기지 복합물은 구조용 재료로서 매우 우수한 성질을 지니고 있어 광범위하게 연구되어져 왔다. Al2O3와 SiC는 그들의 우수한 기계적 특성 때문에 일반적인 보강재로서 사용되어져 왔다. 그러나 이들 세라믹 보강재는 비싼 재조 비용 때문에 특별한 목적을 위해서만 한정되어 사용되어져 왔다. 본 연구에서는 우리는 Al 합금기지 복합물에서 SHS법에 의해 합성된 Al2O3-SiC 분말의 보강재로서의 응용 가능성을 살펴보았다. 또한 Al2O3단섬유를 Al기지 하이브리드 복합물에 적용하기 위하여 합성된 분말과 함께 첨가하였다. 25vol% 강화재의 복합물을 제조하기 위하여 용탕단조법을 사용하였다. 미세구조와 결정구조는 SEM, OM 그리고 XRD로 관찰하였고 압축시험과 마모시험으로 기계적인 성질들을 조사하였다.

콘크리트의 낮은 인장강도 및 균열제어 능력 등의 약한 재료성질을 개선하기 위하여 수년간 하이브리드 섬유보강 콘크리트에 관한 많은 연구가 진행되어 왔다. 그러나 비정질 강섬유와 유기섬유를 이용한 하이브리드 섬유보강 콘크리트에 관한 연구는 이루어지지 않은 실정이다. 따라서, 본 연구의 목적은 비정질 강섬유와 유기섬유로서 폴리아미드 섬유를 이용한 하이브리드 섬유보강 콘크리트의 압축강도, 장기 건조수축 및 내동해성을 평가하는 것이다. 이를 위하여 목표 압축강도 40 및 60 MPa 각각에 대해서 하이브리드 섬유 혼입률을 전체 체적비로 1.0%로 설정하여 비정질 강섬유와 폴리아미드 섬유를 이용한 하이브리드 섬유보강 콘크리트를 제작하였다. 제작된 하이브리드 섬유보강 콘크리트의 장기 건조수축 및 내동해성을 평가한 결과, 재령 365일 및 730일에서의 장기 길이변화율은 플레인 콘크리트보다 각각 30%, 25% 이상 감소된 것으로 나타났으며, 동결융해 300 사이클 후의 내구성 지수는 90% 이상으로, 내동해성이 있는 것으로 나타났다.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the direct tensile fracture behavior of fiber hybrid reinforced cement composite by strain rate. Experiment result, it was confirmed that PVA suppressed the microcrack around the steel fiber at the strain rate 101/s, which resulted in the improvement of the pullout resistance of the steel fiber.

In this study, the fiber blending ratio and strain rate effect on the tensile behavior of hybrid fiber reinforced cement composite was evaluated. Hooked steel fiber and polyvinyl alcohol fiber were used for reinforcing fiber. The fiber blending ratio of HSF+PVA were 1.5+0.5, 1.0+1.0 and 0.5+1.5vol.%. As a results, the tensile strength, strain capacity and fracture toughness of the hooked steel fiber reinforced cement composites were improved by the increase of the bond strength of the fiber and the matrix according to increase of strain rate. However, the tensile stress sharply decreased after the peak stress because of the decrease in the number of straightened pull-out fibers by micro cracks in the matrix around hooked steel fiber. On the other hand, PVA fiber showed cut-off fracture at strain rate 10-6/s with multiple cracks. However, at the strain rate 101/s, the multiple cracks and strain capacity were decreased because of the pull-out fracture of PVA fiber. The HSF1.5PVA0.5 shown the highest tensile strength because the PVA fiber suppressed the micro cracks in the matrix around the hooked steel fiber and improved the pull-out resistance of hooked steel fiber. Thus, DIF of strain capacity and fracture toughness of HSF1.5PVA were greatly improved. In addition, the synergistic response of fracture toughness was positive because the tensile stress was slowly decreased after the peak stress by improvement of the pull-out resistance of hooked steel fiber at strain rate 101/s

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the tensile fracture behavior of fiber hybrid reinforced cement composite according to the strain rate. Experiment result, it was confirmed that the number of cracks and the strain capacity tended to decrease with increasing PVA fiber volume fraction at the strain rate of 101/s.

This research investigated the effects of matrix strength on the direct tensile behavior of high performance hybrid fiber reinforced cementitious composites (HPHFRCCs) at high strain rates. 3 different type matrixes were used (56 MPa, 81 MPa and 180 MPa). And macro fiber was long hooked fiber (H, =0.3 mm,=30 mm) and micro fiber was short smooth fiber (S, =0.2 mm,  =13 mm). The volume content of macro fibers was 1.0% and the volume content of micro fibers was 1.0%. The high matrix strength clearly increased the tensile strength and peak toughness of HPHFRCCs even at high strain rates (74 ~ 161 /sec).

In this study, four reinforced concrete beam-column joints, replacing recycled materials with hybrid fiber were constructed and tested under monotonic loading. Experimental programs were carried out to improve and evaluate the seismic performance of such test specimens, such as the load-displacement, the failure mode, and the maximum load carrying capacity.
