The properties of concrete can be affected by high range water reducing agent and cement. The data for compatibility and effect of fluidity is reported already according to the mixing proportion of kinds of cements and high range water reducing agents. Moreover, the international market of construction has been opened, the international standard of capability has been promoted and the international exchange of construction materials has been brisked. This study investigated fluidity properties of mortar due to kinds of cements and high range water reducing agents which are producted in different nations. Also studied were the compatibility effect of cements and high range water reducing agents.

This study was performed to evaluate properties of recycled concrete for roadway pavement. Recycled concretes was manufactured for the target compressive strength of 280kg/$\textrm{cm}^2$ and 180kg/$\textrm{cm}^2$ with recycled aggregate ratio of 0%, 20%, 40%, 60%, 80%, respectively. Laboratory experiment was conducted for testing properties of fresh concrete and concrete strength at curing 28days and durability by freezing and thawing treatment. The study result presented a maximum replacement ratio of recycled material.

This study was conducted to confirm the effect of bypass dust on the hydration and mechanical properties of the cement pastes and mortar obtained from ordinary Portland cement (OPC), OPC-slag and OPC-fly ash system. The rate of heat evolution is accelerated with the content of By-pass Dust(BD). total heat evolution increased because alkali-chlorides activated the hydration of blended cement. Compressive strength and bound water content show maximum value at 5wt% By-pass Dust(BD) on each curing time in ordinary Portland cement and slag blended cement. Ca(OH)2 content of Ordinary Portland Cement increased as the content of BD and curing time. In blended cement, the formation of Ca(OH)2 is active at early hydration stage. By pozzolanic reaction, the content of Ca(OH)2 is decreased as curing time goes by. According to the BD content stable chlorides complex of Friedel's salt (C3A·CaCl2·10H2O) is created. Due to the hydration activation effect of chlorides and alkali we observed Type II C-S-H, which developed into densest microstructure.

This experimental study presents the strength properties of mortar using the blast-furnace slag sand. The mix disign of this study is based on the each three classes of unit water; (250, 275, 300)kg/㎥ and four classes of W/C; (45, 50, 55, 60)% and substitution rate(0, 25, 50, 75, 100)%. It gives following result. As W/C ratio increase, the strength is decrease. In case of mortar using air-cooled blast-furnace slag sand, the 3-days and 7-days compression strength is increase as substitution rate is higher. But in case of the mortar using the quenched blast-furnace slag sand, the compression strength is decrease as substitution rate is higher.

Mass concrete structures have many critical points in service. The cracks caused by the heat of hydration is the most serious problem, so that many method ot control cracks(precooling, postcooling, etc) have been applied to construction. But cooling methods take high cost and many installation and limits of field. Therefore it is useful to use the low heat hydration cements for low cost. This paper describes the characteristics of a low heat cement mixing the ternary components of cement(portland cement, blast furnace slag, fly ash) recently developed for mass concrete, belite cement, low heat slag cement(belite base) and fly ash cement (belite base). The objective of this paper is to study on low heat cement about initial compressive strength and hydration heat.

The aimed of this study is to analyze the qualities of foundry waste sand and the basic physic of the concrete mixed with the foundry waste sand, as a way of study for reusing the foundry waste sand disused in the foundry as the fine aggregate for concrete. According to the experimental results, the foundry waste sand is composed of silica ore whose main ingredient is SiO2 and doesn't produce harmful objects of hydration reaction, and the fluidity of concrete shows a decline with the increase of replacement ratio of foundry waste sand, and the compress strength, the tensile strength, the elastic modulus of concrete containing foundry waste sand are improved at the replacement rate of 25%.

Almost all concrete structures have many inevitable cracks for various reasons such as drying shrinkage, heat liberation of cement, fatigues or repeating loads and movements. Conventionally, they are repaired with epoxy materials. The Epoxy resins used by repair materials are different from properties of the base concrete materials such as thermal and mechanical properties - thermal expansion coefficients, bending strength. And the epoxy resin cannot release the water inside the concrete structure and cause corrosion of the steel bars. In this study, before the experiment got launched, we had analyzed cement and slag. Then We blended the two grades of ultra fine cement using high blaine cement and slag. And the cement slurry was produced by water and suprplasticizer to each blended ultra fine cement in various conditions. The slurry produced by each conditions was evaluated with flow properties such as viscosity, dropping time, segregation and observation of dry surface after injection.

Slags are by-products of the metallurgical industry. The most important slag from the standpoint of the quantity used as building material is iron blastfurnace slag. Slags are either crystalline stable solid used as aggregates or glassy material used as hydraulic binder. Slag cements are low heat of hydration cements. Slags react more slowly with than portland cement but they can be activated chemically. Activatiors can be either alkaline activators such as soda, lime, sodium carbonate, sodium silicate or sulphate activators such as calcium sulphate or phosphogypsum. So, in this study slaked lime was used as an activator that the compressive strength of this modified cement(M1 type) is high range in early age. And initial setting time of M1 type cement was shorter than conventional cements.

The purpose of this study is to recycle the waste concrete which is generated in large quantities as crushed stone in construction works. This study deals with the comparative analysis on the construction works and engineering properties of recycled aggregate concrete through physical experiment.

It is able to find from the experimental results that the recycled aggregate concrete is good as general concrete on the construction works and engineering propperties. In addition to, the reliable regression analysis equations between compressive strength and various experimental data for recycled aggregate concrete are presented.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the spalling properties of high-performance concrete with the kinds of aggregates and polypropylene(below PP) fiber contents. According to the experimental results, concrete contained no PP fiber take place in the form of the surface spalling and the failure of specimens after fire test regardless of the kinds of aggregates. Concrete contained more than 0.05% of PP fiber with the kinds of aggregates does not take place the spalling. Concrete using basalt has better performance in spalling resistance that concrete using granite and limestone. It is found that residual compressive strength has 50~60% of their original strength. Although specimens after exposed at high temperature are cured at water for 28days, they do not recover their original strength.

The purpose of this study is to offer the basic information of waterproofing admixture of powder for field application. Through before study and fly ash in mortar, Various properties as fly ash ratio in concrete were checked. According to the experimental result, it was shown that proper Waterproofing admixture of powder increased by cement weight in concrete was generally positive effect to flowing, compressive strength, suction ratio of water, length change ratio. So if Waterproofing admixture of powder is well done quality considered as good on application of concrete.

The workability of high strength concrete using high range water reducing admixture is varied rapidly according to elapsed time. For using the high strength concrete in situ, careful caution on workability is necessary. By using fly ash as a admixture, the slump loss of concrete can be reduced considerably, but the early strength of concrete used fly ash is smaller than that not used fly ash. For the purpose of elevating the utilization of fly ash on high strength concrete, the high fluidity retention and the strength development in early age are necessary in concrete used fly ash. In this study, to improve the fluidity retention and to acquire strength development on concrete used fly ash, the gypsum is applied.

This study was performed to evaluate the characteristics of workability and strength of the concrete containing mineral admixtures such as flyash, blast furnace slag, zeolite powder. As a result, considering their workability and strength, the optimum replacement ratio of them to plain concrete were obtained for each ternary admixture. This increased compressive strength was ascribed to both the closer parkinof fine particles and pozzolan reactivity of powders. This work showed that could be effectively utilized as a blending material without any decrease in the strength of early hydration stage. On the other hand, we found that the compressive strength at early ages ternary ordinary and high strength concrete untill 7 days was small, but that ternary concrete at 28days was highly increased about 31% and 15% extent.

This study is to develop a self waterproof agent by varying the addition ratios of silica fumes and zinc stearates. As the experimental results, it shows a possibility to produce a high performance self waterproof agent which performs a better properties in workability, strength, waterproof, dry-shrinkage and cost, if it is manufactured with silica fumes to zinc steartes ratios of 1 : 2 and mixed 6kg per 1㎥ into concrete mixtures.

In structures, it is important to improve the capacity of waterproof in aspect of the durability and management of maintenance. Among the method of waterproof, self waterproof method is to improve the capacity of waterproof of structure itself. Thereby, we can expect the effect of durability and economics. In this study, we investigated the adding effect of waterproof admixture according to the water-cement ratio when used powder self waterproof admixture and analyzed the change of microstructure. Also, we were made to clear the mechanism of self waterproof admixture and intended to suggest the basic data on developing self waterproof admixture.

The antiwashout concrete which is a type of specific concrete is manufactured by using a plenty of superplasticizer with the non-dispersible underwater concrete admixture, and the application of it on construction site is being increased. But when we measure choride ion content by using the potentiographic tester, because it is over total chloride ion content(0.3kg/㎥ under) of Korean Concrete Specification, the claim of construction site is being presented on the quality of antiwashout concrete. Accordingly, hte aim of this study is to verify actual chloride ion content of antiwashout concrete by chloride ion analysis due to chemical admixtures by performance of antiwashout concrete. In conclusion the actual chloride ion content of antiwashout concrete is overestimated by anion($OH^-, SO4^{-2}, S^{-2}, etc) of chemical admixtures, and is proved to be as low as that of ordinary concrete.

Recently, as a performance based design concept is introduced, assurance of expected performances on serviceability and safety in the whole span of life is exactly requested. So, quantitative assessments about durability related properties of concrete in early-age long term are come to necessary, Especially in early age, deterioration which affects long-term durability performance can be occurred by hydration heat and shrinkage, so development of reasonable hydration heat model which can simulate early age behavior is necessary. The micor-pore structure formation property also affects shrinkage behavior in early age and carbonations and chloride ion penetration characteristic in long term, So, for the quantitative assessment on durability performance of concrete, modelings of early age concrete based on hydration process and micor-pore structure formation characteristics are important. In this paper, a micromechanics based hydration heat evolution model is adopted and a quantitative model which can simulate micro-pore structure development is also verified with experimental results. The models can be used effectively to simulate the early-age behavior of concrete composed of different mix proportions.

Recent construction activities and maintenance of marine facilities have been accelerating to keep up with rapid economic growth in Korea. Marine concrete structures are to salts and chloride from ocean environments. The corrosion of reinforcement steel caused by chloride-penetration into concrete may severely affect the durability of concrete structures. the objective of this research is to develop a durable concrete by investigating the resistance of various corrosion protection systems utilizing different water/cement ratio, silica fumes, corrosion inhibitors, etc. A two-year verification test on various corrosion protection system has been doing in the laboratory. Corrosion investigations on reinforcement steel are now under progress for more than 63 concrete specimen. Corrosion-related measurements include microcell corrosion current.

The size effect of axial compressive strength of concrete in notched specimens was experimentally investigated. Based on the concept of the fracture mechanics and size effect law, theoretical studies for axial compressive failure of concrete were reviewed, and two failure modes of concrete specimen under compression were discussed. In this study, experiment of axial compressive failure, which is one of the two failure modes, was carried out by using double cantilever fracture specimens. By varying the slenderness of cantilevers and the eccentricity of applied loads with respect to the axis of each cantilever, the size effect of axial compressive strength of concrete was investigated, and predicted by Bazant's size effect law. The test results show that size effect appears conspicuously for all series of specimens. For the eccentricity of loads, the influence of tensile and compressive stress at the notch tip are significant and so that the size effect is varied. In other words, if the influence of tensile stress at the notch tip grows up, the size effect of concrete increases. And the fact that the fracture process zone must be sufficiently secured for more accurate experiment was affirmed.

An experimental study is carried out to estimate the effects of mixing and placing condition on the mechanical properties of anti-washout concrete. According to the test results, mixing method and placing temperature do affect the characteristics of rrsh concrete, while they do not affect the strength development of anti-washout concrete. But, concrete strength was greatly affected by the placing condition and placing height. Concrete strength decreases linearly as the placing height increased. Compared to the normal concrete, the increase in strength is not associated much with an increase in the elastic modulus of anti-washout concrete.

The purpose of this study is to offer foundmental information of fly ash concrete for field application. Through before study of fly ash concrete, various properties were checked. but when fly ash was added In concrete, entrained air quantity was decreased as fly ash substitution is increased in fresh concrete. so entrained air(below AE) quantity and a kind of AE according to fly ash substitution was tested basic properties. Also water-reducing efficiency was tested. And hydration heat according to fly ash substitution was tested by KR-100. As result of test, according to fly ash substitution increase, entrained air quantity is increase for target entrained air quantity, water-reducing efficiency and hydration heat are positive.

The objective of this study was to investigate the bond strength properties of antiwashout underwater concrete. The fine aggregate(river sand, blended sand (river sand : sea sand = 1 : 1), condition of cast and cure(sea water, fresh water), and compressive strength of proportion(210kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$ ~ 330kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$) were chosen as the experimental parameters. The experimental results show that the underwater segregation resistance was increased, but flowability (slump flow) and air contents were decreased as the compressive strength of proportion increased. Bond strength of antiwashout underwater concrete was similar to plain concrete. From this study, rational analytic formula for the modulus of rupture and bond stress are to be from compressive strength of concrete.

Osmotic pressure induced by semi-permeability of hardened cement pasts and cement mortar was studied, which was considered to be a cause of failure such as separation and blistering of floor coatings or wall coatings from the concrete substrate. The specimens with a water cement ratio of 45, 60 and 75% were installed between the solution of sodium chloride and distilled water. First, we measured water flux from distilled water to sodium chloride and the ion flux of Na+ and Cl- through the specimens. Then, we measured osmotic pressure induced by semi-permeability of the specimens using an apparatus which was specially developed for this study. It was made clear that hardened cement paste and cement mortar have properties of semipermeability, and the osmotic pressure is closely related to their water cement ratio. Finally, we calculated the osmotic pressure according to Staverman's equation, which was obtained for organic membranes, and tried to explain quantitatively the observed pressure.

Porous concrete contains about 20% voids after compaction so that it has high permeability which secures underground water resources. It is introduced in domestic since 1980' but has problems such as lack of optimized mixture, low strength and durability, efflorescence and other defects, etc. In this study, several mixture were designed based upon site works, and test specimens for compressive strength, tensile strength, flexual strength and permeability, were prepared in a laboratory. After 28days of curing, every performance was tested to find optimum mixture. The mixture was proposed as 380kg/㎥ of unit cement weight, 32% of W/C 10∼13mm of aggregate.

The heating system of korea apartment house is called Ondol. The surface finishing mortar of this floor system typically used the cement based mortar, where the surface finishing mortar easily appears the crack. To order to crack control, the cement that added expansive additive used to reducing dry-shrinkage. For the surface finishing mortar, the types of shrinkage is known as plastic shrinkage, dry-shrinkage and autogenous This experimental study is to investigate the difference on dry-shrinkage of the cement that added expansive additives and OPC. The test method is varied the ration of water/cement (W/C) and the ratio of sand/cement(S/C). For OPC, The increase of the ratio of S/C is reduced dry-shirnkage but for the cement that added expansive additives, the increase of the ratio of S/C is augmented dry-shrinkage For OPC, The increase of the ratio of W/C is augmented dry-shrinkage but for the cement that added expensive, the increased of the ratio of W/C is reduced dry-shrinkage.

When the expansive additives are used in concrete to reduce the shrinkage cracking, it shows variable properties with the curing method and curing temperature. Therefore, in this study, the experiments are perfomed to present the expansion of cement mortar by varying the unit additions of expansive additives and the curing method. According to the test results, the order of expansion by curing method, which is caused by hydration heat of cement, is follows ; curing at water > curing at air after curing at water for 7 days > curing at air. Cement mortar using expansive additives shows that high expansion is place with rise of temperature.

This study is intended to present the properites of planting concrete using the light-weight aggregate and crushed aggregate. According to the result of experiment, the concrete using orchid stone shows a better performance in voids volume, unit weight, absorbtion, thermal conductivity and pH, which are helpful for planting and heat isolation. Therefore, if planting concrete used with orchid stone are utilized to be the planting base on the building's roof, it will be effective to reduced the cost of construction and heating due to the redution of building's self weight and heat isolation effection.

In underground reinforced concrete structures, such as drainage structure, water and chloride ion penetrated into concrete through the cracks of concrete and its permeable property, cause the corrosion of reinforcing steel bar, which accelerates the expansive cracks and deterioration of concrete. It is necessary to control those deterioration of underground structure by improving its permeability and durability through the reasonable solutions in design, construction and materials. In the present study, fly ash concrete, which has good material properties in long-term period, is compared and studied with plain concrete using ordinary portland cement in terms of fundamental mechanical properties, permeability, drying shrinkage and durability. Also, the mix design and its properties of low permeable concrete using fly ash are reviewed. From this study, fly ash concrete can conctrol the penetration of water and chloride ion effectively by forming dense microstructure of concrete. Therefore, fly ash concrete may increase the long-term function, performance and serviceability of underground structures.

The properties of surface-glossing of exposed concrete with the kinds of form materials and form oil are investigated under various slump value. According to the experimental results, surface-glossing has high value with the increase of slump. In case of surface-glossing with the kind of the form, the form made of acryl has the best performance among the form kinds tested in this experiment. The order of surface-glossing is follows ; fancy plywood > metal form > plywood. Water solution type form oil has better performance in surface-glossing than oil solution type form oil. Also, surface-glossing get worse with the elapse of age.

The purpose of this study is to examine the bond properties of polymer cement mortar. Generally, cement mortar using polymer has been used that recovering the deteriorative concrete structure performance. In this case, it is very important problem to become a monolithic construction by bonding property. In this study, it is evaluated with other properties that adhesion strength between polymer cement mortar and concrete substrate. And polymer cement mortar was compared with plain cement mortar by scanning electron microscope.

Strength provisions in Korea Concrete Institute code are more conservative that those in ACI code by increasing load factors and decreasing capacity reduction factors. Cement content of mix design in construction field is usually higher than the modified for standard deviation because of rigorous inspection. Higher cement content increases not only strengths but also heat of hydration, shrinkage and brittleness which are not beneficial. To reduce and optimize the cement content in current mix design of Korean Highway Corporation, properties of fresh and hardened concrete for 16 different mix proportions have been investigated. It is found that the chemical admixture and cement of current mix proportions for highway construction are somewhat higher than the optimum amount. Therefore, the optimum mix design for 16 different purposes has been proposed.

Usually, the failure of quasi-brittle materials is numerically difficult to describe because of the localization process with softening behavior. In this study, ADLE(Axial Deformation Link Elements) with stochastic material properties are developed to simulate the quasi-brittle material failure behavior. The ADLE method is adopted both Fictitious Crack Model and stochastic method to implement the fracture behavior with the localization behavior of quasi-brittle materials. The main objective of this paper is to show the mash independency and the capability of ADLE for the failure behavior of a quasi-brittle materials.

The state of the current design practice in designing the so-called hybrid structures with the upper shear-wall and lower frame systems are reviewed through the investigation of the 43 design examples. In particular, the trend in the design of the transfer system between upper wall and lower frame systems are analyzed with respect to the depth, the length and the number of spans of transfer deep girders and the number of upper stories. Finally the most critical portions in this conventional transfer system, which should be studied in depth in the future, are pointed out to improve the current design and analysis practice.

Nuclear power plant structures may be exposed to aggressive environmental effects that may cause their damage mechanisms are reasonably well understood and quantitative evaluation of their effects on time-dependent structural behavior is possible in some instances, such evaluations are generally very difficult and remain novel. The assessment of existing steel containment in nuclear power plants for continued service must provide quantitative evidence that they are able to withstand future extreme loads during a service period with an acceptable level of reliability. Rational methodologies to perform the reliability assessment can be developed from mechanistic models of structural deterioration, using time-dependent structural reliability analysis to take loading and strength uncertainties into account. The final goal of this study is to develop the analysis method for the analysis for the reliability of containment structures. The cause and mechanism of corrosion is first clarified and the reliability assessment method has been established. By introducing the equivalent normal distribution, the procedure of reliability analysis which can determine the failure probabilities has been established.

Localized failure analysis of concrete structures can be carried out effectively by modeling fracture process zone of concrete during crack initiation and propagation. But, the analysis techniques are still insufficient for crack modeling because of difficulties in numerical analysis procedure which describe progressive crack. In this paper, a finite element with embedded displacement discontinuity is introduced to remove the difficulties of remeshing for crack propagation in discrete crack model during progressive failure analysis of concrete structures. The performance of this so-called embedded crack approach for concrete failure analysis is verified by several analysis examples. The analysis results show that the embedded crack approach retains mesh size objectivity and can simulate localized failure under mixed mode loading. It can be concluded that the embedded crack approach cab be an effective alternate to the smeared and discrete crack approaches.

The reduction phenomena of the compressive strength of concrete with respect to the size of specimens have been extensively investigated. However, adequate analysis technique have not been developed until now. Existing researches have shown that the larger member size, the smaller the strength. This indicated the necessity of nonlinear fracture mechanics theory in order to analyze the fracture behaviors of concrete. The are some models that predict the size effect of compressive strength of cylindrical specimens. Theses equations, however, are developed not considering the difference of fracturing mechanism which depends on both geometry of specimen and the strength level of concrete. In this paper, a model to predict compressive strength of cylindrical concrete specimens with respect to diameters, h/d ratios, and the strength level of concrete, is suggested. For this purpose, theoretical and statistical analyses are conducted. Experimental constants used in the model of new size effect are formulated in terms of strength levels of concrete based on existing experimental data.

In this study, the development of graphic user interface(GUI) program for optimum design of RC continuous beam is dealt. Optimum design problem that satisfies strength, serviceability, durability and geometrical conditions is formulated as a non-linear programming problem(NLP) in which the objective function as well as the constraints are highly non-linear on design variables such as cross sectional dimensions and steel ratio. Optimum design problem is solved by NLP techniques namely, sequential linear programming(SLP), sequential convex programming(SCP). Numerical examples of R.C. continuous beam using GUI system are given to show usefulness of GUI system for practical design work and efficiency of algorithm for the NLP techniques.

In the preliminary design stage of Prestressed Concrete (PSC) Box Girder Bridges, the design factors(including depth, thickness of web, and jacking force) decided by inexperience designer could heavily affect the final design factors. So there is a possibility that the design ends up with an excessively wasteful design. To aim at an economical design with preventing an excessive design, the optimal design program has been developed by using ADS optimal program and SPCFRAME(PSC Bridge analysis program) in these studies. The optimal design program automatically calculates economically optimized design studies. The optimal design program automatically calculates economically optimized design factors by introducing the optimal design techniques of PSC box girder bridge design. The objective function for optimal design is material cost of box girder and constrained functions are constituted with design specifications and workability. The optimal design techniques used the Sequential Unconstraint Minimization Technique (SUMT) with performing the optimal design program. In this study, We designed unprismatic section bridge and prismatic section bridge in the same design condition by optimal design program developed in this study. By analyzing the results we suggested the practical form of tendon's layout comparing the optimal desingns on the basis of each tendon's layout.

The aim of this study of to compare the development of compressive strength of high-strength concrete with maturity and investigate the applicability the strength prediction models. An experiment was attempted on the high-strength concrete mixes using portland cement replaced by silica fume of 10% by weight of cement, the water-binder ratios of mixes being 0.30 and 0.35, the curing temperatures being 30, 20, 10, 5$^{\circ}C$. Test results of mixes are statistically analyzed to infer the correlation coefficient between the maturity and the compressive strength of high-strength concrete. The constant of strength prediction equation were determined from test results, and the equation was adopted to predict the strength of slab(W80$\times$D100$\times$H20cm). The slab was cast in the laboratory from the same batch water-binder ratio of 0.30, and cores were cut from slab in order to estimate the actual strength. These values are used to compare with predicted value. The present study allows more realistic determination of early age compressive strength of high-strength concrete and can be efficiently used to control the quality in actual construction.

In this study, we manufactured the ultra-high strength concrete using mineral admixture which is easily workable. From the test results of compressive strength, It is concluded that the proper replacement ratio of silica fume should not exceed to 10% and the replacement of slag is more effective that the replacement of fly ash to gain very high compressive strength. Thermal stress analysis is conducted to find the way of controlling the thermal crack of ultra-high strength concrete. As results of thermal stress analysis, it was found that reducing placing temperature of concrete(pre-cooling) is effective to reduce thermal crack and placing concrete in high air temperature is more effective than placing concrete in low air temperature.

Various method have been developed for mass concrete structures to reduce the temperature increase of concrete mass due to exothermic hydration reactions of concrete compounds and thereby to avoid thermal cracks. One of the methods widely acceptable for practical use is pipe cooling, in which cooling is achieved by circulating cold water through thin-wall steel pipes embedded in the concrete. A numerical simulation was performed to investigate the effectiveness of pipe cooling. A three-dimensional finite element method was proposed to analyse the transient three-dimensional heat transfer between the hardening concrete and the cooling water in pipe and to predict the stress development during the curing process. The effects of the cement type and content and the environment were taken into consideration by the heat generation rate and the boundary conditions, respectively. In order to test the validity of the numerical simulation, a model RC structure with pipe cooling was constructed and the time-dependent temperature and stress distributions within the structure as well as the variation of the temperature of cooling water along the pipe were measured. The results of the simulation agreed well the experimental measurements. The results of this study have important implications for the optimal design of the cooling pipe layout and for the estimation of thermal stress in order to eliminate thermal cracks.

It was analysed the effect of pipe cooling as a measure to avoid thermal cracks due to the heat of hydration during the curing process of a massive prestressed concrete (PSC) slab. PSC slab has a complex three-dimensional shape of which the maximal and minimal thicknesses of cross-section were 2.8 and 0.95m, respectively. Steel pipes of which the diameter was 1 inch were employed for cooling. The horizontal and vertical distances between the contiguous pipes were 0.5 and 0.6m, respectively. One the four layers of cooling pipe were arranged according to the thickness of cross-section. Temperature distribution was calculated by the program developed by the authors, of which the accuracy was verified on a few published papers by the authors. Based on the temperature analysis of the cross-section which had four layers of cooing pipe, the maximum temperature of concrete interior was 54.2$^{\circ}C$ and the maximum differenced between the interior and surface temperatures of concrete was 14.$0^{\circ}C$ and, thereby, the thermal cracking index was 1.1. Upon the stress analysis, the thermal cracking index was 0.92 and the probability of thermal-crack development was 52%. Therefore, it was expected to make it possible to reduce the probability of thermal-crack development in a massive PSC slab by adopting pipe cooling.

Nonlinear temperature distribution induced by the hydration heat generates thermal stress in mass concrete. At early ages, such thermal stress may induce thermal cracks in the structure which can affect on the durability and safety of the structure. Up to now, a lot of works have focused on the prediction of temperature distribution and thermal stress in the structure. In most of such works, however, the inside of structure was considered as adiabatic state to predict temperature distribution and the thermal stress. And due to the lacks of appropriate analysis models after crack, there was little research on the crack occurrence. This paper deals with the prediction of the temperature distribution in the structure using the rate of hydration heat generation and also estimates the behavior of structure before and after cracking due to hydration heat using crack band model.

Mass concreting in cold weather environment should be focused on the control of thermal crack caused by high hydration heat rather than curing method for protecting from frost damage at early age because the thermal stress have much influence on the quality of structure placed in cold weather. Therefore, in this paper, the control of thermal crack of mass concrete in cold weather environment are dealt with preparing the practice plan for mass concrete and placing the concrete according to the plactice plan. According to the results, we can obtain good quality mass concrete without thermal crack caused by the difference of temperature between inner part and outer part.

The crack of concrete induced by the heat of hydration is a serious problem, particularly in concrete structures such as underground box structure, mat-slab of nuclear reactor buildings, dams or large footings, foundations of high rise buildings, etc.. As a result of the temperature rise and restriction condition of foundation, the thermal stress which may induce the cracks can occur. Therefore the various techniques of the thermal stress control in massive concrete have been widely used. One of them is prediction of the thermal stress, besides low-heat cement which mitigates the temperature rise, pre-cooling which lowers the initial temperature of fresh concrete with ice flake, pipe cooling which cools the temperature of concrete with flowing water, design change which considers steel bar reinforcement, operation control and so on. The objective of this paper is largely two folded. Firstly we introduce the cracks control technique by employing low-heat cement mix and thermal stress analysis. Secondly it show the application condition of the cracks control technique like the subway structure in Seoul.

Cracking of concrete is one of the main issues of structural design next to ensuring the load-bearing capacity. Thermal cracking is a recurring concern in the production of concrete structures in particular when large, massive structures are considered. Thremal stresses arise from the differential temperature distribution either within s sturcture or between newly cast sectons and adjoining older parts. There are many different methods of reducing thermal stresses. A method often used for reducing temperature within a structure, is to cool the inner core with embedded cooling pipes. In this study, finite element method is employed for thermal analysis of concrete structures. To calculate water temperature variation in pipe, the conservation of thermal energy in internal flow was adopted. The cooling effect of pipe cooling is studied with several factors like convective coefficient, water temperature, concrete heat characteristics

The purpose of this study is to ascertain the strength properties of water-permeable concrete with redispersible polymer powder, silica fume and polypropylene fibers. The water-permeable concrete using rediapersibel polymer powder with a water-cement ratio of 25%, polymer-cement ratios of 0 to 10%, silica fume contents of 0 to 10% and fiber contents of 0 to 1.5% are prepared, and tested for flexural strength, compressive strength and water permeability. From the test results, improvements in the strength properties of the water-permeable concrete due to the addition of the redispersible polymer powder, silica fume and fibers are discussed. It is concluded from the test results that the superior flexural and compressive strengths of water-permeable concretes are obtained at a propylene fiber content of 1.0% with a void filling ratio of 50%. And, the water-permeable concrete having a flexural strength of 15.6~28.4kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$, a compressive strength of 63.5~120.6kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$, and a coefficient of permeability of 1.14~1.70cm/s at a void filling ratio of 30% can be prepared. Also water-permeable concrete having a flexural strength of 35.6~57.9kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$, a compressive strength of 164.0~290.0kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$, and a coefficient of permeability of 0.19~1.04cm/s at a void filling ratio of 50% can be prepared in the consideration of the mix proprotioning factors.

This study is aim to evaluate of the flexure toughness of fiber reinforced concrete with ring type steel fiber. The experiment proceeding ASTM C 78 is performed to make a comparision between the ring type flber and the double-hook type fiber which is recently come in to use. The size of the test specimen is 10$\times$10$\times$35mm and the flexture test is proceeded by third-point loading method. The test lasts until 2mm deflection and the loading speed is 0.01mm/min by deflection control. From the experimental results, the specimens with ring type fiber of 30kg/㎥ and 30mm diameter of ring circle show much higher toughness indices than those of the double-hook type fiber of 30kg/㎥ and 30mm long.

This study is to investigate the properties on the load-deflection and fracture behaviors of the steel fiber reinforced concrete(SFRC) slab model specimens, Steel fibers of indent, crimp, and end hook shape were considered to reinforce the matrix under various mixing conditions and proportions. Initial cracking load, maximum load, and energy absorption capacity(load carrying capacity) of SFRC panel specimen increased with increase of steel fiber contents. And the plain concrete slab was fractured abruptly after maximum load but SRFC slabs were fractured smoothly by steel fibers in concrete matrix operated as cracking resistance force after maximum load. Indent, crimp and end hook shape steel fibers were effective in reinforcing the matrices but end hook type fiber were superior to indent and crimp type fibers.

The objectives of this study were to compare the development of compressive strength of epoxy resin mortars used as repairing materials with respect to maturity, and to propose a predictive model for strength development of epoxy resin mortar. A series of tests were carried out for the hardener contents of 30, 40 and 50 percentage of resin and compressive strength were measured at the of 6, 12, 24, 72, 120 and 168 hours respectively under temperature of 0, 10, 20 and 3$0^{\circ}C$. The datum temperature was estimated by measured strength, and the maturity is calculated with the estimated datum temperature. The compressive strength of epoxy resin mortar could be predicted by regression analysis from the maturity-compressive strength relationship.

Permeable polymer concrete in this study is one of the environment conscious concrete that can be applied at road, side walks and river embankment, etc. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of mix proportions such as resing content, filler-binder ratio and aggregate ratio on the freezing and thawing resistance of permeable polymer concrete. The permeable polymer concrete are prepared with the resin ratio of 5%, 6% and 7%, filler-binder ratio of 0, 0.5 and 1.0, and 2.5~5mm sized aggregate ratio to standard sand of 10:10, 10:20, 20:10 and 20:20.

From the test results, the resistance to freezing and thawing of permeable polymer concrete increased with increase the resing content, filler-binder ratio and fine aggregate ratio.

The Purpose of this study is to evaluate the strength characteristics of polyurethane(PUR) mortar cured under low temperature condition. PUR mortars are prepared with various catalyst content, methylene chloride(MC) content as a viscosity reducing agent, and curing age at low temperature condition of $0^{\circ}C$, -5$^{\circ}C$ and -1$0^{\circ}C$, tested for working life, compressive and flexural strengths. From the test results, the catalyst and MC contents affect the degree of hardening and blowing of PUR mortar. Strengths increase with an increasing catalyst content at low temperature. Flexural and compressive strength of PUR mortar are about 177kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$ and 490kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$ respectively at curing temperature of -1$0^{\circ}C$ with catalyst content of 0.4%. Therefore, it is apparent that this PUR mortars have a sufficient strengths for repair of concrete structures.

Polyester resin mortars are prepared with expanded polystyrene ratio in styrene monomer (EPS/PS), and the ratio of total polystyrene resin to UP resin (PS/UP). And it is tested for viscosity of UP resin added PS resin, slump-flow test, working life, flexural and compressive strengths, and curing shrinkage test. From the test result, Viscosity of resin for polymer mortar increases with increasing PS content. Curing shrinkage of UP mortar is considerably smaller than that of plain UP mortar, nevertheless, reduction in the strengths is not recognized according to adding PS resin. In this study, we can obtain the optimum mix proportions of polymer mortar using PS resin.

Specialty cellulose fibers processed for the reinforcement of concrete offer relatively high levels of elastic modulus and bond strength. The hydrophilic surfaces of specialty cellulose fibers facilitate their dispersion and bonding in concrete. Specialty cellulose fibers have small effective diameters which are comparable to the cement particle size, and thus promote close packing and development of dense bulk and interface microstructure in the matrix. The relatively high surface area and the close spacing of specialty cellulose fibers when combined with their desirable mechanical characteristic make them quite effective in the suppression and stabilization of microcracks in the concrete matrix. The properties of fresh mixed specialty cellulose fiber reinforced concrete and the contribution of specialty cellulose fiber to the restrained shrinkage crack reduction potential of cement composites at early age and theirs evaluation are presented in this paper. Results indicated that specialty cellulose fiber reinforcement showed an ability to reduce the total area significantly (as compared to plain concrete and polypropylene fiber reinforced concrete.

Polymer cement is made by the modifying ordinary cement concrete with polymer additive. Until now polymer cement concrete is not used for the structural member, but it is growing to be considered as developing uses such as a waterproof of roof slab, the structural member for protecting corrosion, and a road pavement. The plymer cement concrete, being used for those uses, is superior to the cement concrete against the inorganic, organic acid, salt of acetic acid and organic solvents generally. In this paper, the polymer cement concrete was made by the ratio of 1:1 of sands and tailing in fine aggregate in order to solve the environmental pollution which causes the social problem by the tailing, It was measured for the compressive strength, flexural strength, and chemicals resistance was tested by dealing with 10% HCI, 20% NaOH and 10% NaCl aqueous solution.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the structural performance of Reinforced steel fiber concrete structures using early age concrete. Reinforced concrete structures using early age concrete are result in the degradation of structural performance due to crack, overload, unexpected vibration and impact load. Specimens, designed by the over 0.75% of steel fiber incorporated, were showed the ductile behavior and failed slowly with flexure and flexure-shear. Increasing the percent of steel fiber incorporated(0.25~2.0%), the ultimate shear stress of each specimen were increased 12~40% than that of specimen SSS.

A practical approach of calculating the ultimate strength of composite beams with unreinforced web opening is proposed. In this method, the slab shear contribution at the opening is calculated as the smaller of the shear strength of the slab and the pullout capacity of the shear connectors at the high moment end. A simple interaction equation is used to predict the ultimate strength under simultaneous bending moment and shear force. Strength prediction by the proposed method is compared with previous test results and the predictions by other analytical method. The comparison shows that the proposed method predicts the ultimate capacity with resonable accuracy.

It is required efficient section shape like bulb-tee girders with high strength concrete to construct long span bridges economically. However, the trpical design method for PSC I-girders include bulb-tees, the concrete girder prestressed only one time at same time. But in this paper, new design method prestress increases as each load-stress stage. The incrementally prestressed concrete (IPC) girders can reduce the required area of grider section and extend span length by additional prestress. So it is able to construct long span bridges economically by using IPC girders.

The member with external unbonded tendon has two remarkable characteristics, i.e., eccentricity variation and slip by friction force at deviators, compared with internal bonded or unbonded member. An efficient numerical procedure for the nonlinear analysis of prestressed concrete beam with external unbonded tendon considering two remarkable characteristics is formulated and corresponding computer code is developed. On the basis of statistical process of parametric study results, strain compatibility method, eccentricity variation predictor and tendon stress predictor at ultimate state are proposed and verified with test results and existing Codes, which can evaluate flexural behavior at ultimate state. Finally, the proposed procedure and predictors can be efficiently used for the realistic and accurate analysis of prestressed concrete members with external unbonded tendons.

The bond performance of prestressing strands is still not well understood and is still in controversy on the validity of the test results up to today, although it is a basic information to desing the prestressed pretensioned concrete beams. Different transfer length has been found for a product of the same company, but of the different production methods and factories in the United States. It is necessary to determine optimum transfer bond length of the domestic stands because the ultimate flexural and shear capacity in a section of prestressed concrete beams are evaluated under the assumption that the anchorage bond failure shall not happen. The transfer lenght of low-relaxation, Gr 270, and 1/2" seven-wire prestressing strands from four domestic companies will be evaluated by the concrete strain method. The recent concept of the 95% Maximum Average Strain Method suggested by Russel et al. will be considered to obtain the transfer length of domestic strands. It will be also evaluated if the domestic strands are conform to ACI 318-95.8-95.

The main objective of this project is to define the ultimate bond performance of domestic prestressing strands in the precast prestensioned concrete beams. Eight specimens from four different companies were fabricated and tested in this study. Four-point loading tests were performed on the beams of domestic strands with an arbitrary anchorage length. The research has shown, that all seven specimens except one failed in bond are capable of developing their full flexural capacity and the strands within them are fully anchored even with the sudden transfer of frame cutting. Following results are summarized from the tests conducted. 1) All of the specimens are tested at an embedment lengths much shorter than those required by the ACI code, failed in flexure except one failed in bond. 2) It seems that the beam depth can not be an effective variable to estimate the bond length within these sections and length of specimens on this tests. 3) The development length with the stirrup space which are considered for correction factors in the equations of Russel and Paulsgrove, is fully accurate to determine the required length for the beam tested in this research.

An improved finite element modeling technique is proposed for the assessment of load carrying capacity partilly prestressed concrete beam bridges. Based on the finite element method of analysis, shell and frame elements are utilized to model the slab and beams of the superstructure, respectively. In the modeling of superstructure, the emphasis is placed on the use of rigid link between the middle surface of slab and mid-plane of beam. This paper also includes the comparision of three different equations that used in the calculation of effective moment of inertia for the partially prestressed concrete beams. Numerical analysis is performed for the unstrengthened and strengthened bridges. The obtained results are compared with those of load test for a prototype bridge. Agreement with the numerical solutions by using the proposed method and load test results is generally excellent.

The 5 types of cement mortar was immersed in the various chemical solutions for 400 days and then the compressive strength and the length change were measured to consider the chemical resistance at required ages. Due to the effect of flyashe and GGBF slag, the compressive strength of blended cement mortar was higher than that of portland cement mortar at long ages. According to the result of length change, the mineral admixture in blended cement had an indluence on reducing the amount of C3A, the cause of making concrete expand, and it made the formation of cements mortar denser so that the length change was much smaller than that of the portland cement mortar. However, the OPC mortar immersed in Na2SO4 solution for 180 days shows 4 times bigger length change chante than the blended cement mortar.

In this study, the characteristics of concrete strength according to age/curing condition and the penetration mechanism of seawater into the concrete has been studied. To this end, a comprehensive experimental program has been setup. The major test variables include the type of cement and the type of mineral admixture. The strength test as well as corrosion test have been conducted to explore the effects of chloride ion penetration on the properties of concrete. The experimental results and the developed theory in the present study can be efficiently used to analyze the chloride ion penetration and to estimate the durability of concrete structures.

Specially, B root durability design method for selection of verification level is very effective method in the view of modeling of materials and structural properties to analyze safety and serviceability of RC structures.

An electrci method for the rapid determination of chloride diffusion coefficient in concrete is proposed considering the electrical migration term in the Nernst-Plank equation. The experimental set-up for this method is basically that for PD index by Dhir, excluding some change in the experimental parameter values in consideration of reliability, simplicity and rapidity of the accelerated test method. Experimental results show that 30mm of specimen thickness, 10 volt of supplied potential, and 5M of chloride ion concentration are optimal

Long-term durability of the reinforced concrete structures exposed to marine environment deteriorates seriously by the attack of the chloride ion from see water results in corrosion of steel reinforcement in concrete. Their coating effect is aluminum oxide-isocyanate-based coating material, resistance of chloride penetration, carbonation and freezing and thawing resistance were compared to acryl-based coating material and sealer type o waterproofing material. Aluminum oxide-isocyante-based and acryl-based coating material show higher resistance to chloride penetration and carbonation than the sealer type do waterproofing material and aluminum oxide-isocyanate-based coating resist about 99% of chloride penetration. Resultants to the accelerated test for freezing and thawing, coating concrete show higher resistance than non-coating concrete, respectively.

Corrosion of steel reinforcment is the most significant factor of deterioration in reinforced concrete structures. Chloride ion is considered one of the most common culprits on the corrosion of steels in concrete. This study is effect of cement hydraulic degree on the chloride binding in hardened cement pastes. With increasing the cement hydration, cement products such as CSH and Ca(OH)2 were increased, and the part of added chloride were binded with them. With respect to A type, in first, the additional contents of chloride of 27.08mM/L in pore solution were reduced as 4.3mM/L at 3 days, 4.0mM/L at 7 days, 3.6mM/L at 28 days.

Tests have been carried out on four concrete containing different levels of silica fume to measure their permeability coefficient using water and oxygen, chloride ion. The total cementitious content was 351kg/㎥, and the water/cementitious materials ratio was 0.55. The results show that a dramatic reduction in permeability of concrete containing silica fume occurs due to formation of a discontinuous macro-pore system which inhibits flow. Porosity estimates from mercury-intrusion porosimetry are used to develop an explanations for the water and air permeability reduction. And, results of the rapid permeability test showed that the resistance of concrete to the penetration of chloride ions increases significantly as a contents of silica-fume is increased. The current intensity passing through the concrete containing silica fume is presented from 664C to 2166C.

Recently domestic building market in the face of 3D, in addition to construction cost increase, materials lack problems and opening a building market to foreign countries, is trying to find out the efficient ways of overcoming these problems. So the necessity to study the permanent form is urgent to escape the problems of constructing human power economy, cost down, noises problem, environmental prevention and efficacy of form work to technical improvement will contribute a practical permanent form in field through economic evaluation of permanent form. In this paper, we compared wood form cost with permanent form cost(made form polymer or fly ash) for frame work

According to results of this research Fly-ash Cement permanent-form production was found to be possible by fly-ash mortal. The compress strength 350kg/$\textrm{cm}^2$, banding strength 120kg/$\textrm{cm}^2$ were possible material separting and bleeding by excessive W/C rate was decreased permanent-form made by polymer solved high price of polymer by fly-ash. Model material was made by result of first research. There were no minute-crack on beam form and out surface of form was very smooth, So filling degree seemed desirable length of form after steaming curing was maintained as expected. with these results production of form seemed possible. In the banding load test, fly-ash showed increase of maxim load 12% than RC. in the case of minute-crack, comparing with RC, fly-ash showed no crack at connect. at the first stage under continuing loading size of crack increased. These phenomena seemed to be based on contribution of stress of inner bars in permanent-form. in the test of defection, fly-ash shower about 10% beam load increase than RC. in the case of beam defection, RC showed sudden decrease of tolerance at maxim load and total breaking, but permanent-form showed breaking of bending maintaining defection with contribution of steel stress ($\Phi$6 wire-mash). There phenomenic seemed to be attributed to increase of surface and steel tolerance of form. According to construction explacemaion, it was guessed that each panel was constructed by conner-steels in form edge. so cohesiveness was small. on these bases. keeping width of horizontal band 30cm, form-panel of 20mm width was found to be of use. Permanent-form was found to be efficient in compressibleness, defection, safety and use of Fly-ash mortal.

The objective of this experiment is to observe the elastic and inelastic behaviors of high-rise reinforced concrete frame with infilled masonry. To do this a building frame designed according to Korean seismic code and detailed in the Korean conventional manner was selected. An 1:12 scale plane masonry-infilled frame model was manufactured according to similitude law. Push-over test were performed under the roof displacement control. To simulate the earthquake effect, the lateral force distribution was maintained to be an inversed triangular by using whiffle tree. From the tests, story displacements, lateral story forces, local plastic rotations and the relations between inter-story drift versus story shear are obtained. Based on the test results, conclusions on the characteristics of the elastic and inelastic behaviors of a high-rise reinforced concrete frame with infilled masonry are drawn.

This study investigates the structural behavior and efficiency of proposed bulb-tee sectioned girder using 1/2 scaled prototype beam specimen. Three specimens are tested under three point static loading system. The crack patterns, failure mode and ultimate load capacity of each specimen are reported in this paper and they are compared to each other.

Structural walls have been favored for the design of reinforced concrete buildings in seismic zone areas because they provide an efficient bracing system and offer great potential for lateral load resistance and drift control. Loads on structures due to earthquakes are not unlikely to reach, if not exceed, the design load levels. Hence, structural damage to walls is inevitable, and it is necessary to repair this damaged walls. Yet, information on repair method and data related to the strength and deformation characteristics of repaired walls is limited. In this study, specimens which have their aspect ratios of about 1 to 3 will be repaired. For the repairing the damaged walls, new concrete and new reinforcing bar are replaced with cracked concrete and the buckled reinforcing bar, respectively. The objective of this study is to evaluate the performance of the repaired structural walls in the capacity of strength, stiffness, and maximum deformation comparing with the undamaged walls.

The objective of the research stated herein is to observe th elastic and inelastic behaviors and ultimate capacity of 1 : 5 scale 3-story reinforced concrete frame. Pushover tests were performed to 1:5 scale 3-story reinforced concrete frames without and with infilled masonry. To simulate the earthquake effect, the lateral force distribution was maintained to be an inverted triangle by using the whiffle tree. From the results of tests, the relations between the total lateral load and the roof drift, the distribution of column shears, the relation between story shear and story drift, and the angular rotations at the critical portions of structures were obtained. The effects of infilled masonry are investigated with regards to the stiffness, strength, and ductility of structures. Final collapse modes of structures with and without infilled masonry are compared.

The design methodologies for carbon fiber sheet(CFS) strengthening of RC structures are not well established yet because the structural behavior of strengthened RC structures is more complex than that of unstrengthened ones. Even though the research for the methods using CFS has beed studied, the strengthening effects and structural behaviors of strengthened structures are not systematized yet. The purpose of this study is to carry out the experimental studies on three kinds of half scale RC slab bridges and to investigate the behavior of RC slab bridges from the experimental results. Typical flexural failure occurs in the non-strengthening slab like general RC slab bridges, and also the flexural failure occurs in the all area strengthened slab with sudden rip-off failure of strengthening material by punching shear. For the case of strip type strengthened slab, flexural failure occurs, with rip-off of second strip at the base of loading point. Strengthening effect on the slab using CFS is that the strength is increased upto 7~15 percent and the crack pattern is changed.

The purpose of the present study is to identify the damage characteristics of concrete structures due to cracking by employing the acoustic emission techniques. A comprehensive experimental study has been done. The cracking damages under tensile and flexural loadings have been identified and the bond damage between steel and concrete have been also characterized. It is seen that the amplitudes and energy level of AE events is found to be smaller for bond cracking damages and larger for tensile cracking damages. The characteristic equations of the AE events for various cracking damages have been proposed based on the present test data. The internal microcracks are progressively developed ahead of a visible actual crack and the present study clearly exhibits thses damage mechanism for various types of cracking in concrete. The present study provides very useful data which can be used to identify the various types of cracking damages in concrete structures. This will allow very efficient maintenance of concrete structures through monitoring of internal cracking based on acoustic emission.

The purpose of this study is to make a contribution to the construction of 40∼60 story R/C high rise building by developing the reinforcing details which can improve the seismic performance of high-strength (f'c=700㎏/㎠, fy=4000, 8000㎏/㎠) R/C beam-column joints. The reinforcing details which can make beam plastic hinging zones moved and spreaded from the column face is proposed to insure the ductile behavior of high-strength RC beam-column joints. The intermediate reinforcement which is vertically anchored by interlinking each intermediate reinforcements is proposed and tested to examine the mechanical performance of proposed details. Main variables are the shape of the intermediate reinforcements and yield strength of rebars. From the test results, the newly proposed intermediate reinforcement details can move and spread the beam plastic hinging zone about 1.0d from the column face.

As a process of development of composite beam-column connection system, structural tests have been conducted to verify moment resisting performance of the system. The tests have been proceeded by two steps, the first being welding performance test of the steel connection rod and stiffners, and the second overall moment resisting capacity of the fuly assembled system. Ten welding test specimens and four prototype specimens have been used in the test. Good structural performance of welding test specimens has been observed without any single welding failure, and sufficient moment resisting capacity has been proved from the overall performance test, with the moment magnitude in excess of the calculated plastic moment.

Due to recent demolition works of aged concrete bridges and buildings, a considerable amount of waste concrete material have been reclaimed without crushing works. It is well believed that waste concrete could be used for recycling good coarse aggregate, which could contribute to partly reduce environmental pollutions due to noise and dust by demolition works, and also to solve the shortage of natural aggregate for new concrete works. This experimental study is to investigate the flexural and shear behaviour of recycling RC beams with pertinent amount of recycling coarse aggregate, such as 30%, 50% and 100% of total aggregate volume. It is concluded from the test that structural behaviour of recycled concrete is determined to have similar behaviour of normal concrete.

Experimental study was conducted to investigate the flexural-shear behavior of hooked steel fiber reinforced high strength concrete (SFRHC) beams. Twenty beams with shear span-depth ratio of 1.45 were tested, of which variables were the contents of steel fiber with aspect ratio of 60, tension reinforcement ratio and concrete compressive of 60MPa and 80MPa. Test results has shown that shear failure of the beams were changed into flexural-shear failure or flexural failure according to increasing steel fiber content, that SFRHC with slump of 15cm over and fiber volume ratio of 1.5% was possible in practice, and that proper volume ratio of steel fiber was 1.5%.

The reinforced concrete slabs with epoxy-bonded AFRT sheets were experimentally investigated. Experimental data on strength, stiffness, steel strain, deflection and mode of failure of strengthened slabs were obtained, and comparisons between the different flexural reinforcing schemes and reinforced concrete slabs without AFRT sheets were made. The result generally indicate that the flexural strength, ductile behavior of strengthened slabs increased.

In evaluating the ultimate strength of a section for a concrete flexural member, the effect of member length is not usually considered, even though the strength tends to decrease with increase of member length. In this paper the influence of specimen length on flexural compressive strength of concrete was evaluated. For this purpose, a series of C-shaped specimens subjected to axial compression and bending moment were tested using four different length-to-depth ratios(from 1, 2, 3 and 4) of specimens with compressive strength of 58 MPa. Results indicate that the reduction in flexural compressive strength with increase of length-to-width ratios was apparent. A model equation was derived using regression analyses on the experimental data. It was also founded that the effect of specimen length on ultimate strain was negligible, but its effect of the ultimate load and the displacement at center of specimen was distinct. Finally more general model equation is also suggested.

There is still a lack of knowledge and modelling relating to shear behaviour in reinforced concrete beams. The reason is that shear loading leads to complicated physical mecanisms, such as interlock action, dowel action, etc. Therefore, It is difficult that we make the ideal model of shear behaviour, while Truss model theory has been made good use of shear design because of simplicity and reasonableness. In this study, 6 T-type reinforced concrete beams were designed and made based on the two truss models, i.e, the plasticity truss model and the compatibility truss model, to observe shear strength of concrete and stress distribution of stirrups. 6 beams test pieces were tested with the following testing parameters. 1) specified concrete strength ; 270kg/$\textrm{cm}^2$, 400kg/$\textrm{cm}^2$ 2) with and without the steel fiber.

Current design methods as well as the majority of the previous researches for shear strength of the reinforced concrete are based on empirical method. There is a need to propose the rational models based on analytical approach. This paper presents the modified strut-and-tie model for reinforced concrete columns, under axial compression, shear, and flexural moment, considering tensile strength of concrete. Using this model, the strength and the failure mode of R/C columns are investigated, and the proposed models are compared with test data available in the literature.

In recent years, problems of industrial solid wastes appear to be kind of national crises, caused by a sudden increase in their quantities, lack of disposal technique, and public discontent in installing plants for their disposal. This study is designed to investigate that pozzolana-based materials, such as blast furnace slag, fly-ash, paper sludge-ash, which are produced from industries as solid wastes, can be used as construction materials. The variations of concrete strength in function of compositional differences of raw materials including the wastes are studied experimentally. As a result, we find out that the blast furnace slag, the fly-ash, and the paper sludge-ash can be recycled as useful resources for replacement of cements by adjusting their substitution ratio.

In this paper, the application of limestone grain, which produced by being gathered electrically in the process of manufacturing of cement, to high fluidity concrete are investigated. High fluidity mortar is used for this experiment. According to the experimental results, especially, high viscosity and the loss of air content are accomplished by applying limestone grain as the partial substitution of fine aggregates. In case of hardened mortar, high strength development at early age can be achieved by using limestone grain. But excessive dosage of limestone grain can cause high drying shrinkage.

Recently, the antiwashout underwater concrete with an antiwashout admixtures has been increasingly used for underwater structures. However, the credibility of antiwashout underwater concrete was brought up as problems because it seldom was applied to fields. In this study, experiments were made on the basic properties of antiwashout underwater concrete replaced with fly ash up to 30% to improve its properties. Resultant to the test, we got the results as follow; funnel flow time was decreased, the slump flow was increased and the elevation of head was decreased rapidly whereas the amount of suspended solids became high, pH became low. In view of 70%, the standard ratio of compressive strengths between cast in water and in air, it was obtained the result that the ratio was over 90% at 28days.

This paper discuss the chemical, physical and mineral properties of classified fly ashes by electrostatic precipitator and calcinated fly ashes at 50$0^{\circ}C$. The electrostatic precipitator in coal fired power plant has a number of hopper in the direction of flue gases. The properties of fly ashes collected at each hopper in the electrostatic precipitator are different. Superfine, fine and ordinary fly ashes can be collected respectively at each hopper. The carbon content in fly ash is influenced on the viscosity of paste. By calcination, the carbon content in fly ash is decreased and the fluidity of paste is improved.

The purpose of this study is to provide the optimum mix design of fly ash concrete to be placed at the concrete face rockfill dam for pumped storage power plats. The basic performance tests including compressive strength, modulus of elasticity, unit weight, coefficient of thermal expansion, shrinkage, adiabatic temperature rise and analysis of thermal stress were conducted for fly ash concrete. From this study, the fly ash concrete represented the better results in the aspects of basic performance and economy than ordinary portland cement concrete. Especially the concrete mix design containing 15% of fly ash is recommended to be applied in the construction of the concrete face rockfill dam for pumped storage power plants.

This study was carried out to investigate quantitatively the relatonship between the water binder ratio and the concrete strength using finely ground granulated furnace blast slag to apply f 0.5% type admixture. The experimental parameters are water-binder ratio (40, 45, 50, 55, 60%) and slag contents(0, 10, 20, 30%). As a result, it can make that the water-binder ratio of concrete contented slag can be calculated by equation using relationship between compressive strength of concrete and water-binder ratio which is consisted of mixing strength and cement strength K.

Effect of excessive addition of water reducing agent was examined by concrete tests. Water reducing agents of lignin or naphtalene base were used in the experiment. Setting of concrete was retarded according to the increase of dosage of water reducing agent and was extremely delayed at the 3 times or more use of lignin base agent and near 5 times or more use of naphtalene base agent respectively. When water reducing agent was used more than 6 times of standard dosage, early strength of concrete was very low and the strength reduction was very severe at all test ages in the concrete using lignin base agent.

Workability time of superplasticized concrete is maintained generally for 30-60 minutes only. Therefore it is of great advantage for the concrete producer to use a high range water reducer which provides an extended slump life. Recently slump retentive srperplasticizer has been developed. Concrete mixing tests were done to know slump, setting, air content, bleeding and hardening characteristics of concrete using slump retentive superplasticizer. With slump retentive superplasticizer, high quality concrete was produced and slump loss of concrete was reduced in big way, making long transportation time possible as a practical alternative to on-site addition.

The purpose of this study is to find the bond properties of deformed bars in hign-strength concrete by experimental and analytical method. In this study the following variables were adopted, i.e. (1) the compressive strength of concrete : 270, 400 and 600kg/$\textrm{cm}^2$ (2) the corrosion the bars : corroded and normal bars (3) the mixing ratio of natural and smashed fine aggregate : 7 : 3 and 5 : 5 (natural sand : smashed sand) For analytical method, the finite element analysis is performed. And the Pull-out test is performed as the experimental method.

Bond between reinforcing bars and the surrounding concrete is supposed to safely transfer load in the design process of reinforced concrete structures. Bond failure of reinforcing bars generally take place by splitting of concrete cover as bond force between concrete and reinforcing bars exceeds the resistance by the confinement of the concrete cover and transverse reinforcement. Confinement, concrete cover and transverse reinforcement, on bond are the key factor of current provision to determine development length of reinforcing bars to concrete. In this study, previous available data are analyzed with respect to the current provisions for development and splice of reinforcement. From this study, the new provision for the design are proposed, which will be efficient and effective with some specific limit value.

The majority of published conclusions about structural configuration effects of bond strength were based on the observed performance of test specimens and their interpretations are mostly empirical and statistical. The empirical and statistical interpretation on bond strength have to be replaced by rational models based on simple, sound and verifiable mechanical principles. It is likely that such models also represent the key to a deeper understanding of some existing experimental data on bond strength. The presented truss model is capable of explaining failure modes involving bond slip that cannot be explained by current truss model.

The shear behavior and strength of simply supported reinforced concrete deep beams with web opening subject to concentrated loads have been investigated experimentally on the effects of structural parameters such as location of web opening and reinforcements. A total of 12 specimens were tested at the laboratory under two-point top loading. The shear span-to-depth ratio was taken constantly 0.8, and various types of reinforcements based on truss models were adopted. In the tests, the effects of location, reinforcements of web openings on the shear behavior, and crack initiation and propagation have been carefully checked and analyzed. The test results have been compared with the formulas proposed currently being used and analyzed by nonlinear finite element method. Shear strengths obtained from the tests showed good matches with Kong and Ray's equation, and also with the results calculated by nonlinear finite element method.

Because of relatively heavy dead weight of concrete itself and unavoidable heat of massive concrete in bridge piers, circular hollow columns are widely used in Korean highway bridges. Since the occurrence of 1995 Kobe earthquake, there have been much concerns about seismic design for various infrastructures, inclusive of bridge structures. It is, however, understood that there are not much research works for nonlinear behavior of circular hollow columns subjected to earthquake motions. The ultimate of this experimental research is investigate nonlinear behavior of circular hollow reinforced concrete bridge piers under the quasi-static cyclic load, and then to enhance their ductility by strengthening the plastic hinge region with glassfiber sheets. It is concluded from quasi-static tests for 7 bridge piers that energy dissipation capacity and curvatures for a given displacement ductility factor $\{\mu}=frac{\Delta}{\Delta_y}$are about 20% higher for the seismically designed columns and about 70% higher for the retrofitted piers than the nonseismically designed columns in a conventional way.

In this paper, the basic concepts and main characteristics in Eurocode 8, which deals with earthquake-resistant design, are reviewed regarding the design of reinforced concrete structures. Eurocode uses the limit-state design method to satisfy the requirements of safety and serviceability. This kind of information can serve to establish the up-coming Korean seismic code which is comprehensive and appropriate to the moderate seismicity region by constituting an important part in the basic data-pool.

The purpose of this study is to develop and evaluate the structural performance of various shear walls, such as the hysteretic behavior, the maximum horizontal strength, crack propagation, and ductility etc. under load reversals. For the diagonal reinforced slit and infilled shear wall specimens, it was found that the failure mode shows very effective crack control and crashing due to slippage prevention of boundary region and reduction of diagonal tension rather than the brittle shear and diagonal tension failure. The ductility of specimens designed by the diagonal reinforcement for the slit and infilled shear wall was increased 1.72~1.81 times in comparison with the fully rigid shear wall frame. Maximum horizontal load-carrying capacity of specimens designed by the diagonal reinforcement ratio the slit and infilled shear wall was increased respectively by 1.14 times and 1.49 times in comparison with the standard fully rigid shear wall frame.

This paper is aimed to investigate flexural rehabilitation effect o pre-loaded reinforced concrete beams strengthened by carbon fiber sheet. Main Test parameters are reinforcement ratio and the magnitude of pro-loading and seven test beams are analyzed rehabilitation effect by carbon fiber sheet, load-deflection, failure mode, stress of reinforcing bar by the magnitude of pre-loading. Test results show that internal force was showed pre-loaded specimens lower than no-loaded specimens during rehabilitation and changing stiffness was showed in the same was and failure mode showed brittle failure from all specimens.

Among several non-destructive testing methods, ultrasonic pulse velocity method has been widely used for the evaluation of concrete strength. However, this method might not provide accurate estimated results since factors influencing the relationship between strength and wave velocity is not considered. In this study, the evaluation methods of concrete strength using compression wave velocities measured by either ultrasonic pulse velocity method or impact-resonance method are proposed. A basic equation is obtained by the linear regression with velocity vs. strength data at a specific age and then, ageing factor is employed in the equation to consider the difference of the increasing rate between wave velocity and strength. Strengths predicted by the proposed equation agree well with test results.

The concrete structure under fatigue load depresses in mechanical capability or breaks down finally because of the fatigue. So recently the study on strengthening methods using bonded steel plate is widely attended. Which could be constructed under use and without damaging the structure. The intention of this method is to increase the useability of the structure and to recover the strength. So application on fields are sharply increasing. In this study it is tried to develop strengthening methods using notches and anchor bolts which could supply the defect on falling off of the steel plate at the end.

The objectives of this study are to estimate the strengthening effect of concrete column strengthened with CFS and to provide basic guideline for the strengthening design with laminated composite materials. Analysis stress-strain model of laminated CFS is presented based on laminate theory. This model has been implemented in the algorithm of evaluating confinement effect of CFS. From results of the algorithm, stress-strain relationship of confined concrete is obtained. Using this stress-strain relationship, section analyses of circular and rectangular concrete columns strengthened with CFS are carried our, and load-moment interaction and load-ductility curves of the columns are obtained. To evaluate the strengthening effects of CFS, parametric study is also conducted for the angle of ply, thickness of CFS, shape of section, and reinforcement ratio. Based on this investigation, design recommendations and basic guidelines for the strengthening design with CFS are proposed.

The objective of this study is to develope a new equation that can predict the flexural capacity in RC beams strengthened with Carbon Fiber Sheets(CFS). To evaluate the influence of each experimental variable, the conducted experimental test data were investigated; the variables that had an effect on the increment of the flexural capacity were the number of plys, the strengthening length, the reinforced type such as U-type after reinforcing the bottom of the beam. The previous equations were compared using the existing experimental test data, then analyzed for the merits and demerits of existing equations, using the coefficient of correlation(R). The proposed equation was derived in such a way that main parameters and their combination were obtained from the analytical study and then their coefficients were determined by regression analysis using the previous test data. As a result, the proposed equation showed the better agreement than the previous equations.

Diverse strengthening methods for reinforced concrete are applied to real structures with a variety of materials. On the other hand, only external prestressing is used for strengthening damaged prestressed concrete girders. But the end brackets for external prestressing are hard to design and to manufacture, the magnitude of prestressing is limited when applied to real structures. The current end brackets are not clearly understood in load transmitting mechanisms and they may damage the original girder by drilling during construction. And also the designed welding area of the current bracket is insufficient to support the high load. The problems of current end bracket are solved in this study. And a new and improved end bracket is proposed and tested. The tested end bracket is similar to the end bearing bracket, but many supportting plates are addded to increase its welding length of the weakest point of the bracket. The increased welding length finally increases its load carrying capacity significantly.

In this research, we made an experiment on the 10 specimen beams that we made. The specimen beams consist of 4 steel plate strengthening beams and 5 carbon fiber sheet strengthening beams. We applied the methods of notch, rounding off a edge, anchor bolt and side shear strengening to the steel plate and for the case of carbon fiber sheet, we applied the methods of anchor bolt, line anchor and shear strengthening. After all the cases were applied, the beams was measured and analyzed about the behavior property of strengthened beams, th ability of strengthening method, the relation between load and the shape of failure, the crack load, the yield load, the shape of crack pattern, the increasing rate from yield load and maximum load and the strain of rebar. All the strengthening methods resulted in almost same value until the yield load, and it wasn't quite different from the theoretical value. In comparison with existing method, the SER, SEAS for the steel plate and the CEA, CESS, CCESS for carbon fiber sheet showed the increasement of ductility with big displacement.

A theoretical model for flexural behavior of strengthened reinforced concrete beam is developed based on displacement controlled nonlinear finite element method in this study. The developed model is shown to reasonably reproducing the experimental results of variously strengthened reinforced concrete beam. Parametric studies for the strengthened reinforced concrete beam at different loading stages are then performed using this model in order to assess the effect of loading stages at the time of strengthening on characteristic values of strengthened beam under flexure. It was found that depending on loading stages of a beam, deflections at yielding and at ultimate loads are more influenced than corresponding load capacities.

Recently new rehabilitation techniques have been proposed with advanced composite materials like carbon fiber, aramid, glass fiber sheet and so forth. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the mechanical characteristics of reinforced concrete columns confined with carbon fiber sheet and evaluate the degree of their strengthening effect. For the test, the specimen size of column is 15cm$\times$15cm$\times$90cm reinforced with 4 number of main bars of 10 mm diameter, tied bars of 6 mm diameter and slenderness ratio 20. Columns were wrapped with carbon fiber sheet along the column length. It is necessary to make some assumption regarding the confinement of carbon fiber sheet to apply to reinforced concrete columns under concentric loads. The strength gain effect of columns confined with carbon fiber sheet could be predicted using the proposed equation.

When the RC frame structures subjected to the seismic load, brittle shear failure of vertical members induces brittle collapse of whole structures. Failure mechanism like this is not desirable. So shear strengthening method to avoid this failure mechanism is needed. Recently, strengthening method using continuous fiber sheet is studied and used widely which have high elastic and high strength characteristics. In this study, RC columns which is strengthened by carbon fiber sheet in the form of tape or whole sheet were tested under the cyclic load. The parameter of this test is the amount of strengthening. As the amount of strengthening increase, strength, ductility and energy capacity increase. The failure mode of test results are shear and bond-split failure.

The objective of this study is to develop finite element analysis technique to predict the strength reduction of deteriorated reinforced concrete beams and their strengthening capacity. In order to consider the effect of rebar corrosion, a tension stiffening model is proposed and area reduction of rebars due to corrosion is considered. For the analysis of strengthened deteriorated RC beams, one dimensional truss element and an interface element are introduced for models of the strengthening composite and the interface between concrete and composite to simulate delamination or discontinuous behavior at the interface. Then, analyses for deteriorated RC beams strengthened with glass fiber reinforced epoxy panel (GFREP) are carried out to predict both flexural failure and plate-end delamination failure. Finally, analysis results are verified with experimental results.

This paper presents an experimental study on flexural behavior of damaged RC beams repaired with epoxy mortar system. The main test variables are repair length and depth. A series of 7 specimens was tested to show the corresponding effect of each variables on maximum load capacity, load-deflection relationship, and failure mode. The results of this study shows that flexural behavior of repaired RC beams changes as the repair length and depth is getting longer and deeper, so that the tension strength of repairing materials should be considered in the courses of repair design.

This study of concrete movement confronting a scope inspects the problems about the waterproofing method and leakage/repairment at present and research the mechanism with the variety of applying examples introducing adhesion and inflation using the flexible type of waterproofing and repairement and the subsititution method developed with polymer resign composite. The polymer resign transmited into adhesion or inflation materials under wet environment absorbs adjoining moisture, wraps impurities of concrete surface, get the waterproofing layer and concrete surface adhere toughly, reorganize the impaired waterproofing layer and get over the detachment of it from concrete surface.

The study of bond behavior between concrete and rebar has been performed for a long time. On this study, we tried to analysed variation of bond behaviors quantitatively with varying the strength of concrete. Bond stress which observed below the neutral surface of beam and at connecting part of beam and column is affected by various bond parameters. Resistance of deformed bars which embedded in concrete to the pullout force is divided 1) chemical adhesive force 2) frictional force 3) mechanical resistance of ribs to the concrete and these horizontal components of resistance is being bond strength. We selected the most common and typical variable which is concrete strength among various variables. So we used two kinds of concrete strength like as 25MPa(NSC) and 65MPa(HSC). Tension Test was performed to verify how bond behavior varied with two kinds of concrete strength. Concentration of bond stress was observed at load-end commonly in Tension Test of the initial load stage. At this stage stress distribution was almost coincident at each strength. As tension load added, this stress distribution had difference gradually and movement of pick point of bond stress to free-end and central section was observed. This tendency was observed at first and moving speed was more fast in NSC. At the preceeding result the reason of this phenomenon is considered to discretion of chemical adhesion and local failure of concrete around rebar in load-end direction. Especially, when concrete strength was increased 2.6 times in tension test, ultimate bond strength was increased 1.45 times. In most recent used building codes, bond strength is proportioned to sqare root of concrete compressive strength but comparison of normalized ultimate bond strength was considered that the higher concrete strength is, the lower safety factor of bond strength is in each strength if we use existing building codes. In Tension Test, in case of initial tensile force state, steel tensile stress of central cross section is not different greatly at each strength but tensile force increasing, that of central cross section in NSC was increased remarkably. Namely, tensile force which was shared in concrete in HSC was far greater than that of concrete in NSC at central section.

One of the major causes of concrete pavement deterioration is the loss of support due to erosion and pumping of subbase and subgrade. In this study, procedures for the detection of voids under concrete pavement slab are presented using nondestructive test method such as FWD(Falling Weight Deflectometer) and GPR(Ground Penetration Radar). The deflection responses of concrete slab obtained in FWD field test are analysed for determining the presence of void. Also, reflection responses in GPR test are interpreted. It was concluded that these procedures are available for detecting the viods under concrete pavement slab.

Reinforced concrete structures covered creek for road vehicle located in urban areas have been experiencing corrosion of concrete and reinforcing steel caused by $H_2S$ gases generated by anaerobic bacterial. H2S gases react with oxygen and water to form sulfuric acid ($H_2SO_4$). This acid chemically attacks concrete, and sulfate ions penetrate into the concrete, causing rebar corrosion. In this work, to determine the conditions of RC culvert boxes which were constructed in the 1970s, various tests were conducted, including carbonation depth, compressive strength, half-cell potential measurements, and XRD analyses. Results indicated that the concrete deterioration was caused by sulfate attack and rebar corrosion. This paper discusses the evaluation on the durability of reinforced concrete structures covered creek for road vehicle.

This study was conducted to evaluate structural integrity and crack source location of plain concrete beams using acoustic emission. Three point bending tests were carried out plain concrete specimen under cyclic loadings. The variable is W/C of concrete. From the tests it was shown that a breakdown of the kaiser effect and high AE activities during unloading could be effective indices to estimate the level of deterioration in plain concrete structures. The time and location and propagation of crack could be easily determined by monitoring AE, which concludes that AE technique can be a very useful tool to evaluate structural integrity of concrete plain beams.

This study describes the results of experiment and numerical analysis for heating image by thermographic method when the size of void in concrete are changed. By comparing analytical solution by finite element method with measured image by thermography, the relationships between the surface temperature which can be confirmed by this method, the size of void and optimum time for detection of void and the difference of temperature are cleared.

Locating of reinforcing bars, in particular to know their accurate depths, is very important thing in radar inspection of concrete structures. By the way, a depth estimation of reinforcing bars in concrete structures by the radar is not easy because micorwave propagation velocity in test area is generally unknown. This problem can be solved by Generalized Hough transformation technique. Using this technique, the micorwave propagation velocity in test area can be detected from the radar image, which appear as hyperbolas conveying the velocity information in their shape. A developed speed-up technique for the computation of the Generalized Hough transformation is also investigated in this study. As a result, although it becomes difficult to locate reinforcing bars when multiple parallel bars lying too close together, there is a possibility of detecting accurate depths of reinforcing bars in test area by the proposed method.

This paper presents the general information on how to conduct a data analysis of long-term monitoring system and evaluate the characteristics of surveying methods.

Glossy architectural concrete means high qulity concrete which develops marble-like gloss on the surface of concrete. In spite of many benefits of architectural concrete to R.C. structure such as appearance of natural stone, saving of envelope materials and reduction of building weight, the failure of in-situ application of architectural concrete by the absence of knowledge on the physical properties and form work for it can often be found in Korea. This study is to offer the basic materials on the mix proportion, vibrating, curing and treatment of concrete result from the mock up test and in-situ application of architectural concrete to embody high quality architectural concrete in Korea.

In this study, it was experimentally investigated the effectiveness of repair and strengthening methods for RC beams deteriorated under severs enviromental conditions. Polymer cement were employed to restore the sectional loss and aramid fiber-reinforced sheet was used to reinforce the surface subject to tension. Repaired and strengthened reinforced-concrete samples were subjected to loading tests. The tests revealed that the sectional restoration enhanced the loading capability of the sample structures. Additional strengthening with one aramid fiber-reinforced sheet improved 18% of yielding load and 30% of ultimate load of the structure. Reinforcing with two aramid fiber-reinforced sheets brought about an enhancement of 22% of yielding loading and 49% of ultimate load.
