This study was initiated to develop a precast polymer concrete panel production method and to describe some engineering properties of FRP (Fiberglass Reinforced Plastics) reinforced polymer mortar. Specimens with different panel thickness and FRP reinforcement were prepared and tested and analyzed with respect to structural behaviors. Cracking moment was mostly affected by the thickness and reinforced FRP. Data of the study could be widely applied to the designing and planning of production processes of many polymer concrete products of which all or some of the components are composed with thin panels.

Utilization of the fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) material has been enlarged as a substitution material to the general construction materials having certain long-term problems such as corrosion, etc. However, it could be difficult to apply the FRP material, which has a linear shape generally, to an arch-shaped tunnel structure. Therefore, an attempt has been made in this study to develop a device to form a designed cross section of FRP material by pulling out with a curvature. A sample of the circled FRP product was successfully produced and then the sample has been tested to identify its physical characteristics. Then, intensive feasibility studies on the circled FRP panel to be used for a tunnel lining structure have been carried out by numerical analyses. As a result, it appears that the new circled FRP-concrete composite panel has a high capability to be used for a tunnel lining material without any structural problem.

Even though fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) has been widely used as a retrofitting material, the FRP behavior and effect in FRP retrofitted structure under blast loading, impulsive loading with instantaneous time duration, has not been accurately examined. The past studies have focused on the performance of FRP retrofitted structures by making simplifications in modeling, without incorporating accurate failure mechanisms of FRP. Therefore, it is critical to establish an analytical model that can properly consider the specific features of FRP material in evaluating the response of retrofitted concrete structures under blast loading. In this study, debonding failure analysis technique for FRP retrofitted concrete structure under blast loading is suggested by considering FRP material characteristics and debonding failure mechanisms as well as rate dependent failure mechanism based on a blast resisting design concept. In addition, blast simulation of FRP retrofitted RC panel is performed to validate the proposed model and analysis method. For validation of the proposed model and analysis method, the reported experimental results are compared with the debonding failure analysis results. From the comparative verification, it is confirmed that the proposed analytical model considering debonding failure of FRP is able to reasonably predict the behavior of FRP retrofitted concrete panel under blast loading.

Repair and Reinforcement are subjected change to increasing of remodelling. The usage of carbon fiber sheets is increasing for the strengthening of reinforce concrete structures. Therefore experimental and analytical studies are carry out to investigate the flexural behaviors of the strengthened RC structures by the external bonding of the new reinforcement method. Also the aim of this study is to investigate reinforcing method of FRP panel deal with fatigue loading through experiments.

FRP is a new material that is lightweight, has high strength and high durability, and is emerging as a third construction material in many countries. The composite material panel targeted in this study was a curved member and is the most frequently used arch-shaped member of a structures, such as tunnels. Composite curved panels can be produced in high quality and large quantities through automation operations. On the other hand, the frequency of application is low, and the design criteria and experimental data are lacking. Therefore, this study examined the mechanical performance of the member unit first to verify its performance as structural members of the FRP curved panel. For this purpose, tensile, compression, and connection performance tests were carried out. The tensile tests showed greater tensile strength of specimens with larger curvature, and the compression tests showed that the composite section of a composite material has greater compressive strength than the concrete section. Finally, the test of the performance of the connection showed that the attachment performance of the connection was more than equal to that of the FRP composite material panel.

The objective of this study is to develop a polymer mortar floor members for wine housing with high strength and durability using unsaturated polyester resin to complement defects of conventional cement concrete. Physical and mechanical properties of the polymer mortar floor members for swine housing are also investigated. Specimens with different panel thickness and FRP reinforcement are prepared, tested, and analyzed with respect to structural behaviors. Cracking moment is mostly affected by the thickness and reinforced FRP. Data of the study can be applied to the designing and planning of floor members for swine housing.

FRP is a new material that is light, has high strength and high durability, and is emerging as a third construction material inside and outside of countries. However, very few studies have been done on curved FRP construction materials that can be used for tunnels or arched bridges. Because a small composite panel specimen is smaller than a full-size specimen, it can be used in a variety of experiments under different conditions. Therefore, in this study, experiments were performed on a void section, a solid section, a connected solid section, and a sand-coating solid section. The results of the experiment show that the connection of composite curved panels with longitudinal connections provides almost equivalent performance to that of a single panel. However, it is necessary to strengthen the connections, since the connections that are most susceptible to damage will break first.

The flexural performance of FRP-concrete composite deck in the connection between decks is evaluated. FRP-concrete composite deck, an innovative system is composed of concrete in the top and FRP panel in the bottom. The experiments are carried out on specimens with different details, such as FRP module and reinforcement of FRP re-bars. As a result, we verify that the transverse connections between our FRP-concrete composite decks with presented details secure enough safety and serviceability.
