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.

In construction industries, new construction materials are needed to overcome some problems associated with the use of conventional construction materials due to the change of environmental and social requirements. Accordingly, the requirements to be satisfied in the design of civil engineering structures are diversified. As a new construction material in the civil engineering industries, fiber reinforced polymeric plastic (FRP) has a superior corrosion resistance, high specific strength/stiffness, etc. Therefore, such properties can be used to mitigate the problems associated with the use of conventional construction materials. Nowadays, new types of bridge piers and marine piles are being studied for new construction. They are usually made of concrete filled fiber reinforced polymeric plastic tubes (CFFT). In this paper, a new type of FRP-concrete composite pile which is composed of reinforced concrete filled FRP tube (RCFFT) is proposed to improve compressive strength as well as flexural strength. The load carrying capacity of proposed RCFFT compression member is discussed based on the result of experimental and analytical investigations.

Recently, practical application of high tension bar is attempted. The main object of using high tension bar is strengthening of material property and decreasing of steel amount. If using high tension bar which is not a definite yield strength，according to strain ratio of high tension bar tensile and compressive dominate mode ciearly, there being a possibility dividing becoming difficult. Specially, Providing steel ratio of balanced destruction is very difficult. In this study, high tension bar to apply to flexural member and the behavior experiment bending after one, will consider high tension bar the application possible standard of existing.

Repaired RC flexural members with ductile cementitious composite are numerically simulated to understand the improved performance in post-peak behavior. Also, stress distributions along steel reinforcements and crack width on the tensile surface are monitored to understand the effect of using ductile cementitious composite as a repair material. The results provide durability characteristics of repaired structures under flexural loading condition.

The purpose of this study is to compare the ultrasonic pulse velocity before and after core compression test of steel fiber reinforced concrete using the ultrasonic pulse velocity method. The correlation between the column member ultrasonic pulse velocity before core test, the column member ultrasonic pulse velocity after core test, and the compressive strength of the core specimen were analyzed by fabricating a steel fiber reinforced concrete hollow column member.

A deflection of a RC structure increases when sustained loads are applied in it. In this paper, a parametric study of long-term deflection was performed according to concrete strength, creep coefficient and ratio of sustained load for each design provisions. Results show that a long-term deflection in KSCDC is able to apply an effect of creep using an effective modulus of elasticity.

A minimum reinforcement ratio is an important factor to prevent a brittle failure for RC flexural members. In this paper, a parametric study of minimum reinforcement ratio is performed according to concrete strength, steel yield strength and cover depth ratio for each design provisions. A minimum reinforcement ratio using a stress-strain model is suggested. And results show that this mode is able to reflect material strength and cross-section properties properly.

This paper evaluates the shear strength, behavior and failure mode of reinforced concrete beams with deformed GFRP reinforcing bar. Four concrete beam specimens were constructed and tested. It was carried out to observe failure behavior and load-deflection of simply supported concrete beams subjected to four-point monotonic loading. Load-deflection for FRP reinforced concrete beam member were predicted.

When RC members are subjected to chemical attack such as aggressive substances, the surfaces of member are seriously degraded. In this paper, an experimental study is executed to investigate the characteristics of flexural behavior of surface degraded reinforced concrete member. According to results, it is seemed that the surface degradation affect the load capacity, fracture energy, neutral axis depth and rigidity of RC members.
