Reinforced concrete structure with supplementary relation is a distinguished material. But in this structure, crack is generated by many factors and caused decadence of durability, safety, function, and so on. Hence structure is in need of repair. Preexistence injection of chemical grouting for using repair of crack not enough performance. In this study, Setting time test of Acryl Gel was carried out According to a Catalyzer quantity. The result of test showed that gel time of Acryl Gel decreased with the increased of catalyzer quantity. The result of this study could be used as the basic data for the repair of crack using Acryl Gel.

Various methods have been used to reinforce the cementitious material such as mortar and concrete that have weak tensile strength. Major reinforcing method is to mix matrix with fibers which have strong tensile strength. Recently, micro-fiber reinforced mortar has been studied which removes coarse aggregate and uses micro-fiber with small diameter in order to homogenize the matrix properties and maximize the performance of fiber. Performance of micro-fiber reinforced mortar showing multiple cracking behavior is hardly represented only by the flexural toughness. Therefore, This paper reports the cracking behavior as well as mechanical behavior for various mixtures which have different fiber type and mixture proportions to find the proper parameter representing the cracking characteristic. Correlations between flexural toughness and various cracking characteristics such as cracking area, width and number are explored. As a result, it is found that flexural toughness, volume of fiber and number of cracks are suitable for representing the characteristics of micro-fiber reinforced mortar.

This paper presents some research results on the shrinkage characteristics and frost resistance before and after cracking of FR-ECC(Fire Resistance-Engineered Cementitious Composite). Also, a waterstop performance and exfoliating resistance of multi-layer lining specimens using FR-ECC and flexural performance of beam member by repaired FR-ECC are estimated in this paper. Experimental results indicate that the plastic shrinkage crack and length change ratio of FR-ECC have been reduced as compared with that of the existing repair mortar, and that its crack resistance on the dry shrinkage is improved under the confining stress. As well as FR-ECC has been great in the frost resistance and its tensile properties under the cracked state have been not reduced by freezing and thawing reaction. In addition, beam member by repaired FR-ECC have been increased in the flexural properties such as initial crack moment, yeild moment, and its crack width has been controled in a stable by the frexural failure.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the crack reduction performance of blast furnace slag concrete mixed with expansive and swelling admixtures. As a basic performance test, various ingredients such as blast furnace slag fine powder (BFS), calcium sulfoaluminate (CSA), bentonite, and hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose (HPMC) were used, and the results showed that bentonite showed superior performance compared to HPMC. Afterwards, a MOCK-UP test was conducted to evaluate cracking and drying shrinkage according to the mixing ratio. As a result, when bentonite and a small amount of calcium phosphate were added, drying shrinkage was reduced and cracking was reduced. In particular, a cement mixture consisting of 30 % BFS, 1 % bentonite, and 1 % calcium phosphate showed optimal crack-free performance. It is believed that BFS concrete will contribute to compensating for shrinkage through continuous expansion activity and can be used for field applications.

Recently, as the concern for the development of a construction method for an environmental protection and for tall building is increasing, the use of the half precast concrete(PC) slab that has the solution of environmental problems and the advantage such as reduction of construction period is being demanded. However, there is shortcoming that the crack can occur easily while constructing, and these cracks can have a bad influence upon the structural performance of PC composite slab. However, there is little studies on the influence of these cracks on the structural performance of composite PC slab. In this study, the specimen caused the crack before pouring topping concrete in the half PC slab and the PC composite slab without the cracks were produced to investigate the structural performance of PC composite slab with crack.

해양환경에서의 아연코팅철근 콘크리트 보의 휨 성능 및 균열 특성 실험을 수행하였다. 또한, 보에서 발생하는 균열 및 파괴양상을 파악하였다. 그 결과, 해양환경에서의 콘크리트 부재의 피복두께를 기존 설계기준보다 작게 적용시켜도 부재에 발생하는 염해에 대한 내구성을 확보할 수 있으며, 아연코팅 철근의 적용은 일반철근 콘크리트 보다 내구성 측면에서 유리하다고 판단된다.

본 논문에서는 형태가 왜곡되지 않은 균열뿐만 아니라, 잡음과 유사한 미세 균열까지 효과적으로 추출하고 분석할 수 있는 방법을 제안한다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 균열 검출 방법은 콘크리트 슬래브 표면의 R, G, B 채널 값을 퍼지 기법에 적용하여 후보 균열 영역을 추출한 후, 추출한 후보 균열 영역에 SOM 기법을 적용하여 1차적으로 잡음 영역을 제거한다. 잡음이 제거된 후보 균열 영역에서 밀도 정보를 이용하여 2차적으로 세부적인 잡음 영역을 제거하여 최종적으로 균열 영역을 검출한다. 실제 콘크리트 균열 영상을 대상으로 실험한 결과, 다양한 콘크리트 균열 영상에서 기존의 균열 추출 방법보다 균열 검출 성능이 개선되었음을 확인하였다.

Two different UHPCCs having different fiber lengths and volume fractions are considered to be applied to bridge decks. The objective of this study is to estimate cracking resistance of the two UHPCCs. The notched beam tests were performed with the UHPCCs, and the relationships between load and CMOD(Crack Mouth Opening Displacement) were obtained from the tests. The tensile stress and crack opening relationships optimally fitting the measured load-CMOD curves were found through the inverse analyses. The UHPCC with 2% volume fraction of 13 mm long fiber has lower fracture energy than the UHPCC with 0.5% and 1.0% volume fractions of 16.3 mm and 19.5 mm long fibers, respectively. It indicates that the latter UHPCC is more effective in uniformly distributing crack formation and reducing crack width.

In this study, we prepared a core material based on the inorganic materials in liquid form for applying an inorganic-based core material to a core material for the self-healing capsules as a part of the basic study to manufacture of self-healing capsule that can heal cracks of cementitious composite. Manufactured core material based on the inorganic materials were applied directly to the cement composite before its encapsulation, were evaluated the effect on performance of cementitious composite as wall as repair performance of the cracks in the cracks. The test results showed that core material based on the inorganic materials was effective to improve the compressive and adhesion strength, had an absorption, permeation water, penetration of chloride iones and freeze-thaw resistance performance. Through the results of this paper, we want to utilize the results as a basis data of the performance of the cement composite that can be obtained when applied to inorganic core materials based on self-healing capsules and future advances localized self-healing capsule technology.

In order to estimate the mechanical properties of ultra high performance concrete, the most important is to evaluate its tensile behavior. The tensile behavior of concrete is generally characterized by the elastic behaviour before cracking and tensile stress-crack width relationship after cracking. We carried out the direct tensile and flexural tensile test and compared the tensile behaviors obtained by the direct tensile test and by inverse analysis of the flexural tensile test results. We compared the obtained tensile behavior with that of JSCE recommendations for ultra high performance concrete as well. we could see that the tensile stress-crack width relationship obtained from the flexural tensile test results using inverse analysis had good agreement with directly obtained tensile behaviour with direct tensile test and showed similar tensile softening behaviour introduced in JSCE recommendations for ultra high performance concrete.
