A review is presented of experimental studies on the strength performance of concrete exposed at short-term and rapid heating as in a fire and after cooling. Emphasis is placed on concretes with high original compressive strengths, that is, high-strength concrete(HSC). The compressive strength-temperature relationships from the reviewed test programs are distinguished by the test methods used in obtaining the data(unstressed, unstressed residual strength, and stressed tests) and by the aggregate types(normal or lightweight), The compressive strength properties of HSC vary differently with temperature than those of NSC. HSC have higher rates of strength loss than lower strength concrete in the temperature range of between 20$^{\circ}C$ to about 400$^{\circ}C$. These difference become less significant at temperatures above 400$^{\circ}C$ compressive strengths of HSC at 800$^{\circ}C$ decrease to about 30 ％ of the original room temperature strength. A comparison of lest results with current code provisions on the effects of elevated temperatures on concrete compressive strength and elastic modulus shows that the CEN Eurocodes and the CEB provisions are unconservative.

The purpose of this study was to predict the long-term performance using the interlaminar shear strength of carbon fiber/epoxy composites exposed to environmental factors. Interlaminar shear specimens, manufactured by the filament winding method, were exposed to the conditions of drying at $50^{\circ}C$, $70^{\circ}C$, and $100^{\circ}C$ and of immersion at $25^{\circ}C$, $50^{\circ}C$, and $70^{\circ}C$ for up to 3000 hours, respectively. According to the results, the interlaminar shear strength did not vary significantly with the exposure time for the drying at $50^{\circ}C$ and $70^{\circ}C$, but it increased somewhat for the drying at $100^{\circ}C$ due to the post curing as the exposure time increased. The interlaminar shear strength of the specimens exposed to the immersion at $25^{\circ}C$ did not change significantly at the beginning of exposure, but it decreased with the exposure time and the degree of decrease increased as the environmental temperature increased. The linear regression equations for the environmental temperatures were obtained from the interlaminar shear strength of the specimens exposed to the immersion for up to 3000 hours. Using these linear regression equations, the interlaminar shear strength was estimated to be within 5.5% of the measured value at $25^{\circ}C$ and $50^{\circ}C$, and 2.3% of the measured value at $70^{\circ}C$. Therefore, the proposed performance prediction procedures can predict well the long-term interlaminar shear strength of carbon fiber/epoxy composites exposed to environmental factors.

Short beam tests of GFRP and CFRP specimens exposed to high temperature were conducted to measure the inter-laminar shear strength. For the phase I test, the exposure time and temperature were varied to measure reduction in the strength due to the applied conditions. As a results, the critical temperature was found to $270^{\circ}C$ for the both FRP reinforcements. The high temperature, which causes 50% loss of inter-laminar shear strength, is defined as the critical temperature in this study. It should be noted that the critical temperature for the inter-laminar shear strength is mainly dependent on resin properties not on fiber type. In the phase II test, the effect of exposure time was investigated at intervals of 0.25hour for the critical temperature. All test results demonstrate that the exposure time effect is not significant compared to the maximum exposure temperature, but it is not negligible and, moreover, is significant at the critical temperature.

This paper aims to evaluate material property variation of polymer concretes under ultra-violet exposure condition. The components and mixing ratio of the polymer composite specimens were determined by the previous research results. The equivalent UV exposure time was calculated with the consideration of the power of metal halide lamp and maximum 3 years were selected for the experiments. From the tests, it was found that the generated heat during UV exposure affected much the material properties of polymer concrete by means of post cure. As a result, the compressive strength increased and ductility factor decreased.

Recently, many landfills are constructed by using geosynthetics with earth materials. Geotextiles in geosynthetics are applied for the various purposes such as filters of the leachate collection and removal system and protectors of geomembrane liner. However geotextiles can be exposed to direct sunlight during the construction of landfill for several months. As you know the exposure of polymers to sunlight can be a major source of degradation of them. This study is to suggest a criteria on the installation of heavy weight geotextiles at the landfill. For this purpose, several different geotextiles were evaluated by outdoor exposure at two different locations and under the different seasons for one and half years. As the results of outdoor exposure, polypropylene geotextiles with 500g/$m^2$ and 700g/$\textrm{m}^2$were maintained around 40% of the initial strength during for one and half years. However, the polypropylene geotextile of 1000g/$\textrm{m}^2$showed 65% of the retained strength for the same duration of exposure. The retained strength of all polypropylene geotextile reduced dramatically with the cumulative sunshine radiation on a horizontal surface of around 1500MJ/$\textrm{m}^2$.

도시지역에서 빗물은 대부분 도로를 통해 이동하고 배수된다. 도로의 배수시설은 도로면의 안전을 확보하기 위한 목적뿐만 아니라 도로 이외의 지역에 흐르는 유출수의 배수를 위한 기능도 포함하고 있다. 그러나 도로변에 설치되어 있는 빗물받이 등과 같은 하수도 시설을 통해 빗물이 원활하게 배수되지 않으면 노면수가 정체되고, 이 노면수가 인근 주택가로 유입되어 침수를 피해를 가중시키는 경우도 있다. 빗물받이 설계 시 설계빈도를 차집능력에 상위하는 충분한 여유를 두고 설치하더라도 빗물받이가 도시지역에서 발생하는 유송토사, 쓰레기, 낙엽 및 담배꽁초 등에 의하여 막히게 되면 유입구의 순 면적이 감소하게 되어 빗물받이가 제 기능을 다하지 못하는 경우 또한 발생하고 있다. 이렇게 빗물받이로 유입되는 부유잡물들은 퇴적되어, 우수관로 내에서 썩어 수질을 악화시키거나 악취의 원인이 되기도 한다. 본 연구에서는 빗물받이의 이 같은 문제점을 개선할 수 있는 비노출 배수로의 배수효율을 수리실험을 통해 검토하였다. 도로의 측면에 비노출 배수로를 설치하였을 경우 도로위에 수심이 거의 발생하지 않으면서 배출할 수 있는 최대 유량은 1.67 l/s였고, 서울시를 기준으로 설계빈도 10년에 대하여 본 연구의 실험도로 규격에서의 유출량이 1.09 l/s임을 고려할 때 10년 빈도 강우강도 발생 시 비노출 배수로가 충분한 여유를 가지고 배수 시킬 수 있을 것으로 판단된다. 본 실험도로의 규격에서 1.67 l/s의 유출량이 발생하기 위한 강우강도는 서울시를 기준으로 100년 빈도에 상응하는 강우강도로 비노출 배수로에 막힘이 없는 경우 100년 빈도의 강우시에도 노면수 배출이 가능하였다. 쓰레기와 모래와 같은 부유잡물이 배수로를 막고 있다 하더라고 배수효율 저하는 크게 발생하지 않았다. 그러나 흙탕물이 유입되는 경우 흙탕물이 배수로의 공극을 차단하는 현상이 나타났고 이는 도로위의 수심은 증가시켰다. 흙탕물이 유입된 후 배출가능 유량을 강우강도와 빈도를 환산한 결과 서울시를 기준으로 6.8년에 상응하였다. 따라서 흙탕물 유입가능성이 높은 도로에 비노출 배수로를 설치하게 되는 경우 배수로의 효율이 낮아지는 것에 대한 대책이 필요하고, 철저한 관리가 요구된다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 비노출 배수로의 채움재를 개선하고 동일실험 수행을 계획 중이며, 비점오염물의 제거효율 또한 검토할 예정이다.

Steel fiber-reinforced concrete (SFRC) is widely used for tunnel lining structure such as shot-crete in NATM tunnel and segment in TBM tunnel. In tunnel fire accidents, structural performance of a lining is very important because the lining is the structure that directly exposed to fire. In this study, the effects of high temperatures, mix ratios and types on failure pattern, DPT tensile strength and coefficient of variation were investigated through Double Punch Tests (DPT) of SFRC subjected to high temperatures. In the results, it is confirmed that the residual DPT tensile strength increases as for SFRC and this is more in SFRC with higher mix ratio. But, the equation for evaluation of DPT tensile strength does not involve the number of failure surfaces SFRC specimens subjected to high temperatures, therefore, it is required to investigate more fracture energy in DPT tests.

In this paper, we are presenting a case that integrates ultra high strength concrete(150MPa) with surface-exposed concrete. Ahead of the field application, we carried out laboratory experiment and B/P Test for a basic property of concrete(slump flow, air content, 50cm flow time, elapse time change and compression strength) and productivity. The next, we conducted Mock-up Test using simulation specimen to evaluate infilling, surface-finishing and hydration heat of concrete. We had satisfactory results for a basic property and hydration heat of concrete. However at the time of field application, it was occurred rupture of formwork because of high lateral pressure of concrete, and then formwork was reinforced and case-in-place time was adjusted. And regardless of low and high frequency vibration, it occurred to surface-pockmark. In case that applies ultra high strength concrete to surface-exposed concrete, we estimate that it is important of systematic management and improvement of construction.

The main object of this paper is to investigate the effects of high temperatures on the physical and mechanical properties of natural sand concrete(NSC) and crushed sand concrete(CSC). Test samples were exposed to high temperature ranging from $200^{\circ}C$ to $800^{\circ}C$. After exposure, various tests were conducted. Color image analysis and weight losses were determined and compressive strength test and splitting tensile strength test were conducted. The results indicated that weight losses increased as exposure temperature increased with comparable decreasing rate. The results also showed that compressive strength and splitting tensile strength and modulus of elasticity decreased as exposure temperature increased. The results also showed that residual compressive strength of NSC decreased more drastically than that of CSC at $200^{\circ}C$ and $400^{\circ}C$. Residual splitting tensile strength of NSC decreased more than that of CSC at $200^{\circ}C$, while NSC and CSC showed comparable residual strength ratio at $800^{\circ}C$.
