본연구는 축방향 변형 구속이 고강도 콘크리트 휨부재의 휨 전단거동에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위한 것으로, 수화열과 건조수축에 기인하는 축방향 변형과 재하에 의한 축방향 변형을 구속한 부재 및 무구속 부재에 대하여 휨파괴와 전단파괴 실험을 실시하였다. 타설 직후부터 축변형을 구속한 실험체의 재하시 강성은 재하전의 구속으로 발생한 관통균열의 영향을 받아 무구속 실험체의 강성보다 낮지만, 재하시의 축변형 구속에 따른 압축구속력의 상승으로 인하여 강성의 크기는 역전되었다 축변형이 완전히 구속된 휨부재의 휨강도는 무구속 부재보다 20%이상 상승하지만 변형능력은 감소하는 것으로 나타났으며, 재하전의 축변형 구속에 의한 관통균열(균열폭 0.1mm 미만)은 부재의 전단내력 및 전단균열 진전 형상에 영향을 미치지 않았다.

The purpose of this study is to examine the reduction effect of shrinkage reducing agent for drying shrinkage induced cracking and suggest the method of controlling the cracking in concrete box culvert for power transmission. Based on drying shrinkage cracking mechanism, it is necessary to perform the numerical analysis, which involves shrinkage reducing effect of shrinkage reducing agent. From the numerical results, it is found that cracking behavior for longitudinal direction and transverse direction due to differential drying shrinkage of box culvert can occur and the experimental observation of concrete cracks support the numerical predictions. The shrinkage reducing agent reduced the concrete cracking by 40~50%, which shows the methodology of controlling of drying shrinkage cracks in box culverts in real construction site.

The delamination is a special mode of failure occurring in composite laminates. Several numerical studies with finite element analysis have been carried out on the delamination behavior of unidirectional composite laminates. On the other hand, the fracture for the multi-directional composite laminates may occur not only along the resin-fiber interface between plies known as interply or interlaminar fracture but also within a ply known as interyarn or intralaminar fracture accompanied by matrix cracking and fiber bridging. In addition, interlaminar and intralaminar cracks appear at irregular proportions and intralaminar cracks proceeded at arbitrary angle. The probabilistic analysis method for the prediction of crack growth behavior within a layer is more advantageous than the deterministic analysis method. In this paper, we analyze the crack path when the mode I load is applied to the cross-ply carbon/epoxy composite laminates and collect and analyze the probability data to be used as the basis of the probabilistic analysis in the future. Two criteria for the theoretical analysis of the crack growth direction were proposed by analyzing the stress field at the crack tip of orthotropic materials. Using the proposed method, the crack growth directions of the cross-ply carbon/epoxy laminates were analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively and compared with experimental results.

The west stone pagoda of Gameunsa temple site(National Treasure No. 112) has been seriously damaged by surface weathering, and conservation treatment is needed. In the second story body stone, vertical cracks developed parallel to the main compressional axis. The vertical cracks seem to grow much more with the compression. Chemical and biological weathering along the vertical cracks could have enhanced the crack growth. In the third story capstone, the surface cracks strike toward NE and NW directions, which are intersecting each other. In the eastern and southern parts of the third story capstone, lots of vertical cracks develop along the lines from the axial center to outer rim, whereas horizontal cracks are easily observed at the outer rim of the capstone. On the other hand, a few horizontal cracks develop in the western and northern parts of the third story capstone. This fact indicates that the compression along the vertical axis is not uniform in direction. The west stone pagoda leans toward the east and the south, so it is considered that compression by deviatoric stress prevailed at these directions.

Cracks present in pressure vessels have been reported to be mostly semi-elliptic surface cracks. The fatigue crack growth rates(FCGR) of surface cracks in the pressure vessel materials, API5A-K55 and SPV 500, used in this study were showed to be different depending on the direction of propagation of the surface crack. An equation for the prediction of the shape change of the surface crack was obtained by combining the Paris' relations for each direction of surface crack extension and agreed well with the experimental data. And also FGGR in both materials were evaluated and prediction of the shape change of surface crack were made using averaged stress intensity factor.

Cracks found in pressure vessels have been reported to be mostly semi-elliptic surface cracks. The fatigue crack growth behaviour of the surface cracks on pressure vessel materials, SPV 50Q and API 5A-K55, was studied with the consideration of the crack opening character. To determine the crack opening loads for the surface cracks, the displacement/strain were measured at three positions; the center and the side of the surface crack, the back face of the specimen using CMOD gauge and strain gauges. The experimental results showed that the crack opening load levels measured at the side of the surface crack were generally a little higher than those measured at the back face. As for the crack growth rates at the different parts of the surface crack, the experiments also showed that, if .DELTA.K$_{eff}$ is used, the exponent n of the Paris' law obtained were the same for the rear and the side parts of the surface cracks.

This paper presents an analytical model for calculation of crack widths in reinforced concrete structures. The model is mathematically derived from the actual bond stress-slip relationships between the reinforcement and the surrounding concrete, and the relationships summarized in CEB-FIP Model Code 1990 and Eurocode 2 are employed in this study together with the numerical analysis result of a linear slip distribution along the interface at the stabilized cracking stage. With these, the actual strains of the steel and the concrete are integrated respectively along the embedment length between the adjacent cracks so as to obtain the difference in the axial elongation. The model is applied to the test results available in literatures, and the predicted values are shown to be in good agreement with the experimentally measured data.

This study proposes an algorithm for detection and analysis of cracks in digital image of concrete surface to automate the measurement process of crack characteristics such as width, length, and orientation based on image processing technique. The special features of algorithm are as follows: (1) application of morphology technique for shading correction, (2) improvement of detection performance based on enhanced binarization and shape analysis, (3) suggestion of calculation algorithms for width, length, and orientation. A MATLAB code was developed for the proposed algorithm, and then test was performed on crack images taken with digital camera to examine validity of the algorithm. Within the limited test in the present study, the proposed algorithm was revealed as accurately detecting and analyzing the cracks when compared to results obtained by a human and classical method.

이 연구의 목적은 원주방향 균열을 가진 페라이틱 배관의 파괴거동을 실험적으로 평가하는데 있다. 한계하중방법, SC.TNP 방법, R6방법, 그리고 ASME Code방법과 같은 여러 파괴거동 평가 방법의 타당성이 PWR 운전조건(압력:15.5MPa, 온도:228$^{\circ}C$)하에서의 직경 16인치의 대규모 배관파괴실험을 통해 조사된다. 모사지진하중, 단일주파수 사인함수하중, 정하중과 같은 여러 가지 형태의 하중이 배관의 하중지지능력에 미치는 영향이 조사된다. 또한 엘보우부위와 직관부의 영향과 표면균열 및 관통균일의 영향 등도 함께 조사된다. 결과는 다음과 같다. (1) 표면균열을 가진 배관의 파괴거동은 한계하중방법과 SC.TNP 방법에 의해 잘 예측할 수 있다. 반면 관통균열의 경우는 한계하중방법에 의해 잘 예측된다. (2) 모사지진하중하에서는 단일주파수 사인함수하중이나 정하중 하에서 보다 하중지지능력이 크게 예측된다. (3) 엘보우부위와 직관부, 관통균열과 표면균열 사이에 파괴거동에 대한 큰 차이는 없다.

We have studied orientational characteristics of microcracks in Mesozoic granites and granitic dyke rocks from Seokmo-do, Ganghwa-gun. Microcracks on horizontal surfaces of rock samples from 14 sites were investigated by image processing. Orientations of these microcracks compared with those of 18 sets of joints in Mesozoic granites from Seokmo-do. From the related chart, microcrack sets show strong preferred orientations which obviously are coincident with the direction of vertical common joints. It follows that the formation of macroscopic joints may be the results of further growth and step-wise jointing of pre-existing microcracks. Orientations of microcracks from this result also compared with those of vertical rift and grain planes for Jurassic and Cretaceous granite quarries in Korea. As shown in the distribution chart, the congruence of distribution pattern among microcracks and rift and grain planes suggests that similar microcrack systems probably occur regionally in Jurassic and Cretaceous granites from Korea. In particular, whole domain of the distribution chart was divided into 16 groups in terms of the phases of distribution of microcracks and planes. These microcrack sets in each domains construct complex composite microcrack systems which have formed progressively by different geologic processes and under varying conditions.
