Abstract

The compressive strength of concrete is used as the most basic and important material Property when reinforced concrete structures are designed. It has become a problem to use this value, however, because the control specimen sizes and shapes are different from every country. In this study, the effect of specimen sizes and shapes on compressive strength of concrete specimens was experimentally investigated based on fracture mechanics. Experiments for the Mode I failure was carried out by using cylinder, cube, and prism specimens. The test results are curve fitted using least square method(LSM) to obtain the new parameters for the modified size effect law(MSEL). The analysis results show that the effect of specimen sizes and shapes on ultimate strength is apparent. In addition, correlations between compressive strengths with size, shape, and casting direction of the specimen are investigated. For cubes and prisms the effect of placing direction on the compressive strength was investigated.

콘크리트의 압축강도는 콘크리트 구조물의 설계 시에 재료상수로 사용되는데 이 값의 산정에 사용되는 공시체의 크기 및 형상이 각 나라마다 다르므로 현재까지도 문제가 되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 콘크리트 공시체의 압축강도에 공시체의 크기와 형상이 미치는 영향을 파괴역학적 이론과 실험을 통하여 검토하였다. 콘크리트의 두 가지 파괴모드 중의 하나인 모드 I에 대한 실험이 원주공시체, 입방체, 그리고 각주를 이용하여 수행되었다 먼저 원주공시체, 입방체와 각주 자체의 크기효과와 이들 사이의 형상효과를 살펴본 후, 공시체의 크기, 형상, 및 타설방향에 대한 압축강도의 상호관계에 대하여 검토하였다. 또한, 입방체와 각주에 대하여 타설방향이 압축강도에 미치는 영향을 검토하였다.
