Plastic shrinkage cracking occurs at the exposed surfaces of freshly placed concrete due to consolidation of the concrete mass and rapid evaporation of water from the surface. This so-called shrinkage cracking is a major concern for concrete, especially for flat structural such as pavement, slabs for industrial factories and walls. This study has been performed to obtain the plastic shrinkage properties of hydrophilic fiber reinforced mortar and concrete. The results of tests of the hydrophilic fibers were compared with plain and polypropylene fibers. Test results indicated that hydrophilic poly vinylalcohol fiber reinforcement showed an ability to reduce the total crack area and maximum crack width significantly (as compared to plain and polypropylene fiber reinforcement).

광섬유고리에 편광제어를 통해 여러 광경로들에 대해서 손실을 조정함으로써 손실이 작은 광경로에서 발진하게 함으로써 발진 파장을 가변시킬 수 있는 편광제어 파장가변 고리형 광섬유레이저를 구현하였다. 내부 공진편광기를 사용하여 1㎚의 종모드간격으로 발진을 일으킬 수 있었고 편광제어기 및 내부공진편광기를 조절해서 1540㎚에서 1560㎚의 범위에서 파장가변을 시킬 수 있었다. 또한 실험적으로 나타난 발진특성을 광경로와 복굴절손실의 개념을 사용하여 발진출력 특성을 분석함으로써 발진파장을 가변시키는 메카니즘을 추정해 보았다. 여기서 복굴절손실이 같은 광경로들의 종모드들 사이에 보강간섭이 일어나 발진파장을 변화시킬 수 있음을 알 수 있었다.

There is a problem to be solved for improvement of durability and safety for concrete When the waterproofing and anticorrosive work of main concrete are design, the material a of construction need to be correctly applied to appropriate circumstance conditions. Epoxy mostly been used for concrete water tank structure. Lately, lots of subjects on adaption res in mortar for waterproofing and anticorrosive are under discussion. Then, we attempt to approach by evaluating and comparing every capabilities with waterproofing materials in this experiment. Capability evaluation items include the bond age and curing conditions, the bond strength after accelerated weathering test and fret impact resistance, a mount of water, seepage quan Through the experiment analysis, we found that waterproofingtity, drinking water chemicals resistance. and anticorrosive resin mortar used with glass fiber cloth, inorgar material is dominantly superior to other waterproofing materials. According to this paper, we suggest the resin mortar as a new surface treatment material water tank structure.

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%.

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.

Pavement concrete subjected to severe environmental condition may be vulnerable to frost attack practically where de-icing chemicals are used. This study focused on the investigation of durability characteristics of pavement concrete incorporation polypropylene fibers and application feasibility of these into the pavements of local roads and highway. A series of labortory tests were performed with main experimental variable such as fiber types, fiber contents. and type of concrete mix. The test of compressive strength was executed as primary tests, before the durability tests such as a scaling resistance were performed. De-icing salt resistance test was progressed by recycling freeze and thaw in the presence of a 4% calcium chloride solution. The deteriorated surfaces were rated by visual inspection and the loss weight were measured at every 5 cycles.

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.

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.

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.
