Abstract

Most of the concrete bridge structures are exposed to damage due to the excessive traffic loading and the aging of the structure. The damage of concrete causes the further deterioration of the function in the concrete structure due to corrosion of the reinforced bars and decohesion between the concrete and the reinforced bar. The quick rehabilitation of the damaged concrete structures has become of great importance in the concrete structural system in order to avoid the further deterioration of the structures. Recently fiber sheets are used for strengthening the damaged concrete structures due to its many advantages such as its durability, non-corrosive nature, low weight, ease of application, cost saving, control of crack propagation, strength to thickness ratio, high tensile strength, serviceability and aesthetic. However, the lack of analytical procedures for assessing the nominal moment capacity by the fiber sheet reinforcement leads to difficulties in the effective process of decisions of the factors in the strengthening procedure. In this work, flexural strengthening effects by fiber sheets bonded on bottom face of the member are studied for the reinforced concrete T beam. In addition, auxiliary flexural strengthening effects by U-type fiber sheets bonded on bottom and side faces of the member to prevent delamination of the bottom fiber sheet are theoretically investigated. The analytical solutions are compared with experimental results of several references to verify the proposed approach. It is shown that the good agreements between the predicted results and experimental data are obtained.

대부분의 콘크리트 교량 구조물은 과도한 교통량과 구조물의 사용수명의 도래로 손상된다. 콘크리트의 손상은 철근의 부식과 콘크리트와 철근의 분리로 인하여 성능저하 촉진의 원인이 된다. 손상된 콘크리트 구조물의 빠른 복원은 콘크리트 구조 체계에서 콘크리트 성능저하의 심화를 막기 위하여 매우 중요하게 되었다. 최근 섬유시트는 고인장강도, 내구성, 부식저항성, 경량성, 제작편리성, 비용절감, 균열 제어, 두께 대비 고강도, 사용성 등의 많은 장점이 원인이 되어 손상된 콘크리트 구조물의 보강에 널리 사용되고 있다. 그러나 섬유시트 보강에 따른 공칭휨모멘트 성능을 예측하는 방법에 대한 해석과정의 결여로 구조물의 보강 과정에서 효과적인 인자의 결정이 어렵게 된다. 본 연구에서는 T형 철근콘크리트보의 보강을 위해 부재의 밑면에 부착된 섬유시트가 휨 강도에 미치게 되는 영향이 연구된다. 또한 밑면섬유시트의 박리 방지를 위해 감싸는 섬유시트의 옆면부분에 의한 부수적인 휨 보강 효과가 이론적으로 조사된다. 제안한 접근방법을 입증하기 위하여 해석 결과가 참고된 다른 실험연구의 결과와 비교된다. 예측된 결과와 실험결과는 잘 일치하였다.
