Strength bar has merits in workability improvement, construction time shortening and connection details to be easy. But, lap splice length tends to be longer. In this study, high strength threaded bar will be reviewed whether it is appropriate in domestic standards by KCI concrete structural criteria and propose the mechanical splice.

This paper describes the experimental results for the structural performance of full-scale coupling beams with different reinforcement layout (diagonal and horizontal). For the reinforcements of the coupling beams, high-strength steel bars(SD500 and SD600) were used in order to improve workability and economic feasibility. The rigid steel frames and linked joints were used to maintain the clear span length (distance between both shear walls) of the coupling beam during the cyclic loading. Experimental results indicated that the diagonally reinforced coupling beam specimen could exhibit more ductile behavior compared to horizontally reinforced specimen. ACI318-14 code is applicable to design of coupling beam with diagonally reinforcement, however, that is overestimating the strength of horizontally reinforced coupling beam. It is remarkable that effective elastic stiffness values of both reinforcement details coupling beam significantly lees than ASCE 41-13.

In this study, to evaluate the performance of the sleeve structure for high strength reinforced joints and to develop more economical and practical for high-strength reinforced joints sleeve.

This paper describes the flexural performance of concrete and strain-hardening cement based composite (SHCC) beams reinforced with normal and high-strength steel bar to evaluate the effect of reinforcing bar strength and cement composite type. The present investigation shows the potential of high-strength structure materials used of high-strength reinforcing bars with SHCC. And superior mitigation of crack-damage is observed reinforced SHCC beams than reinforced concrete beams

본 연구에서는 SD500 고강도 철근에 적합한 강관 스플라이스 슬리브를 개발한 후에 실물크기의 20개 실험체를 제작하여 가력실험을 실시하였다. 그리고 강도를 비롯한 구조성능을 철근의 정착길이, 슬리브의 타입, 철근의 규격과 같은 실험변수에 따른 영향을 분석하고, 국내기준을 비롯한 주요기준에 따라서 비교, 평가하였다. 실험 결과는 SD500 고강도 철근용으로 개발된 강관 스플라이스 슬리브 철근이음은 주요기준에서 요구하는 구조성능을 가지고 있는 것으로 확인되었고 SD500 고강도 철근용 슬리브 철근이음에 대한 구조설계 기준 확립을 위한 기술적 자료를 제시하였다.
