The collapse of reinforced concrete (RC) frame buildings is mainly caused by the failure of columns. To prevent brittle failure of RC column, numerous studies have been conducted on the seismic performance of strengthened RC columns. Concrete jacketing method, which is one of the retrofitting method of RC members, can enhance strength and stiffness of original RC column with enlarged section and provide uniformly distributed lateral load capacity throughout the structure. The experimental studies have been conducted by many researchers to analyze seismic performance of seismic strengthened RC column. However, structures which have plan and vertical irregularities shows torsional behavior, and therefore it causes large deformation on RC column when subjected to seismic load. Thus, test results from concentric cyclic loading can be overestimated comparing to eccentric cyclic test results, In this paper, two kinds of eccentric loading pattern was suggested to analyze structural performance of RC columns, which are strengthened by concrete jacketing method with new details in jacketed section. Based on the results, it is concluded that specimens strengthened with new concrete jacketing method increased 830% of maximum load, 150% of maximum displacement and changed the failure modes of non-strengthened RC columns.

In the case of columns in buildings with soft story, the concentration of stress due to the difference in stiffness can damage the columns. The irregularity of buildings including soft story requires retrofit because combined load of compression, bending, shear, and torsion acts on the structure. Concrete jacketing is advantageous in securing the strength and stiffness of existing members. However, the brittleness of concrete make it difficult to secure ductility to resist the large deformation, and the complicated construction process for integrity between the existing member and extended section reduces the constructability. In this study, two types of Steel Grid Reinforcement (SGR), which are Steel Wire Mesh (SWM) for integrity and Steel Fiber Non-Shrinkage Mortar (SFNM) for crack resistance are proposed. One reinforced concrete (RC) column with non-seismic details and two columns retrofitted with each different types of proposed method were manufactured. Seismic performance was analyzed for cyclic loading test in which a combined load of compression, bending, shear, and torsion was applied. As a result of the experiment, specimens retrofitted with proposed concrete jacketing method showed 862% of maximum load, 188% of maximum displacement and 1,324% of stiffness compared to non-retrofitted specimen.

Because of the economy and construction simplicity, Jacketing method has been widely used in strengthening RC columns in Korea. Although some studies on the compressive performance of jacketed elements have been conducted by experimental or analytical methods, the correlation between the axial performance and the surface roughness of the jacketed element has not been performed. In this study, the surface roughness of chipped surface of old element was measured and the compressive strength test was performed to evaluate the surface roughness and jacketed effects. The test results are as follows; (1) Compressive strength was improved by 1.8%∼3.1% by chipping, (2) Compressive performance of the jacketed elements reduced to 85%∼93% of theoretical values, (3) As a result of analysis of correlation between surface roughness index and axial strength, surface roughness index based on the wave length was more effective than existing methodology for evaluation surface roughness.

1970년대에 콘크리트를 기반으로 지어진 많은 구조물과 빌딩은 안전성과 사용성을 고려하여 무수히 많은 연구를 현재까지 진행해 왔으나, 설계강도 보다 낮은 최대강도를 보이고 있다. 현재 노후화된 콘크리트 구조물들에 대한 다양한 보수․보강 공법이 개발되어 적용되고 있지만 기존 연구들은 구조물의 특성에 대해서는 고려하지 않고, 단지 기존 부재와 보수 재료의 부착에 관한 연구와 기존 부재를 효과적으로 보강하기 위한 새로운 방법을 개발하는 연구는 미흡한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구는 보수․보강 재료를 이용한 효율적인 강도증진 방법에 대한 연구, 보강 재료와 기존 부재 사이의 거동에 대해 부족했던 연구를 보완 하고자 한다. 또한 고강도 콘크리트는 높은 압축강도를 발현하기 때문에 부재의 단면을 축소시킬 뿐만 아니라 구조물의 자중 또한 감소시킬 수 있으므로 거대한 구조물 건설에 사용되고 있다. 고강도 콘크리트의 사용이 점차 증가하는 추세이지만 고강도 콘크리트를 이용한 구조물의 보수․보강에 대한 방법 연구 역시 미진한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 효과적인 고강도 콘크리트 기둥에 대한 보수․보강 방법을 개발하고자 한다. 본 연구에서는 사각단명 형상을 가진 기둥을 팔각단면으로 형상 변형을 통해 CFS로 보수․보강하여 단면 형상이 변함에 따른 효과를 파악하고, CFS로 보강된 고강도 콘크리트(HSC) 기둥의 강도 증대 효과와 파괴 거동에 대해 파악하고자 한다.
