This study is a part of research to improve the yield strength of concrete structure with a structural damage and conducts the experiment with the variables such as the period of restrengthening of specimen, restrengthening length (1.9m, 1.5m, 1.0m) and restrengthening effect according to restrengthening mehthod of restrengthening materials (nonrestrengthening, Anchor, Angle) to test bending behavior and yield strength performance of reinforced concrete beams restrengthened with carbon fiber laminate.
As a result of experiment, in the restrengthening effects by the period of restrengthening, specimen restrengthened before loading, during reloading and after loading show 1.9m, 1.5m and 1.0m respectively, in the restrengthening effects according to restrengthening length, specimen restrengthened with 1.9m, 1.5m and 1.0m show 113.7%, 122.4% and 112.7% and in restrengthening effects according to restrengthening method of restrengthening materials, non-restrengthening and restrengthening in anchor and angle show 113.7%, 115.9% and 184.4% of increase in yield strength respectively. Accordingly, the specimen restrengthened during loading, the specimen with 1.5m of restrengthening and the specimen restrengthened with angle show high restrengthening effects respectively.
With the above results, a crack is closed by elastic behavior in the case of test materials, but since in the actual concrete strucutre, a crack is not closed like the specimen during loading, the influence of it on restrengthening should be considered.
It is found that although restrengthening effect by the restrengthening length secures a sufficient length, the increase of yield strength by restrengthening cannot be expected when bonded performance is not secured and in deciding restrengthening method of restrengthening materials, the method which have not damage to restrengthening materials and can be integrated with restrengthening materials and structure is effective.
