A high ductile fiber reinforced mortar has been developed by employing micromechanics-based design procedure. Micromechanical analysis was initially performed to properly select water-cement ratio, and then optimal mixture proportion was determined based on workability considerations, including desirable fiber dispersion without segregation. Subsequent direct tensile tests revealed that the fiber reinforced mortar exhibited high ductile uniaxial tension property, represented by $1.8\%$ strain capacity, which is around 100 times the strain capacity of normal concrete.

Recently the construction of high-rise reinforced concrete building is progressively increased as the social demands. It is significantly important factors such as economy, the safety of structure, and the flexibility of internal space. Therefore new structural system is also required to be attained the reduction of story height, the flexibility and efficient use of space. The most suitable structural system is with the economy and flexibility, flat plate slab system in high-rise reinforced concrete building. In this research, it was focused in the improvement of shear performance in the flat plate system using high ductile fiber reinforced mortar. It was evaluated the shear performance in the critical region of slab-column connection. The flat plate system, designed by the high performance and safety, was developed as a new technique in the application of high-rise R/C building.

The objective of this study is to examine mechanical properties of ductile fiber-reinforced mortar designed based on micromechanics. This mortar was produced by employing raw materials commercially available in Korea. To verify property level of this material in uniaxial tension, a series of direct tensile tests were performed with varying water cement ratio. In addition to this, flexural tests as well as compressive tests were carried out. Experiments revealed that the fiber reinforced mortar exhibited high ductility represented by strain hardening behavior in uniaxial tension. Significant enhancements of ductility, in terms of strain at peak stress and post-peak behavior, were also observed during the tests in compression and in bending.

Three reinforced concrete rigid frames and infilled rigid frames with new retrofitting system were tested under both vertical and cyclic loadings, Experimental programs were carried out to evaluate and improve the seismic performance of such test specimens, such as the hysteretic behavior, the maximum horizontal strength, crack propagation, and ductility etc. under load reversals. All the specimens were modeled in one-third scale size. For specimens(RFHPC, RFAR) designed by the improving of seismic performance of the rigid frame using the high ductile fiber composite PC panel and ALC panel system, load-carrying capacities were increased $1.45{\sim}2.28$ times, and hysteretic behavior was very stable during the final tests in comparison with the standard specimen(SRF).
