The purpose of this study is to compare and analyze the effect of the length and volume fraction of smooth steel fiber on the electrical conductivity and shielding effectiveness of cementitious composites. As the length and volume fraction of the fiber increase, the movement of electrons becomes active and the formation of a conductive path becomes advantageous, thereby increasing electrical conductivity. Accordingly, the electrical conductivity and the shielding effectiveness showed a very close relationship. Thereafter, it is judged that research is needed to increase the shielding effect.

This paper describes results of an preliminary study to produce strain hardening cement-based composites (SHCCs)with consideration of sustainability for infrastructure applications. The aims of this study are to evaluate the influence of recycled materials on the mechanical characteristics of SHCCs, such as compressive, four-point bending, and direct tensile behaviors, and to give basic data for constitutive model for analyzing and designing infra structures with SHCCs. In this study, silica sand, cement, and PVA fibers, were partially replaced with recycled sand, fly-ash, and FET fibers in the mixture of SHCCs, respectively. Test results indicated that fly-ash could improve both bending and direct tensile performance of SHCCs due to increasing chemical bond strength at the interface between PVA fibers and cement matrices. However, SHCCs replaced with PET fibers showed much lower performance in bending and direct tensile tests due to originally low mechanical properties of own fibers, although compressive behavior is similar to PVA2.0 specimen. Also, it was noted that the recycled sand would increase elastic modulus of SHCCs due to larger grain size compared to silica sand. Based on pre-set target value to maintain the performance of SHCCs, it was concluded that the replacement ratio below 20% of fly-ash or below 50% of recycled sands would be desirable for creating sustainable SHCCs.

Concrete structures become more common in railway systems with an advancement of high speed train technologies. As the service life of concrete structures increases, structural strengthening for concrete structures may be necessary. There are several typical strengthening techniques using steel plate and fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) materials, which have their own inherent shortcomings. In order to enhance greater durability and resistance to fire and other environmental attacks, basalt fiber material attracts engineer's attention due to its characteristics. This study investigates bonding performance of basalt fiber sheet as a structural strengthening material. Experimental variables include bond width, length and number of layer. From the bonding tests, there were three different types of bonding failure modes: debonding, rupture and rip-off. Among the variables, bond width indicated more significant effect on bonding characteristics. In addition the bond length did not contribute to bond strength in proportion to the bond length. Hence this study evaluated effective bond length and effective bond strength. The effective bond strength was compared to those suggested by other researches which used different types of FRP strengthening materials such as carbon FRP.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to find out a clinically appliable method to insert a biodegradable solid material containing holmium-166-chitosan complex into the surgical field, and to evaluate the histological changes in the normal tissues after ${\beta}$ -ray irradiation from holmium-166 according to the dose, period and type of tissues. Materials and Methods: 3.0 mCi, 50 ${\mu}l$ of the liquid state $^{166}$Ho-chitosan complex was attached to the absorbable gelatin sponge. The radiation activity measured by dose caliberator was 1.5 mCi. These $^{166}$Ho-chitosan complex containing absorbable gelatin sponges were inserted into the thigh muscles and over the femur bones of the Wistar rats. The cases were evaluated at 2 weeks after insertion, and 4, 6 weeks with respect to the histological changes of the soft tissues and bone, the depth of the tissue necrosis, and the changes of the $^{166}$Ho-chitosan complex containing absorbable gelatin sponges. Results: At 2 weeks, the muscles showed coagulation necrosis, degenerating myocytes, regenerating myocytes, intermuscular edema, and inflammatory cells. The necrosis depth was 3.3 mm. In the bones, there was no osteocyte in the lacuna of cortex (empty lacuna), marrow fibrosis, inflammation. The necrosis depth was 2.9 mm. At 4 weeks, in the muscle, calcification and increased fibrosis with necrosis depth by 3.3 mm were the additional findings. In the bone, marrow fibrosis with necrosis depth by 3.3 mm were detected. At 6 weeks, soft tissue shrinkage, increased fibrosis and granulation tissue formation, and nearly resolving inflammatory reaction were the findings. Conclusion: The local application of the $^{166}$Ho-chitosan complex attached to biodegradable gelatin material with surgery in the laboratory animals resulted in no mortality and morbidity, and satisfactory tissue necrosis. Holmium-166 can be applied to the treatment of the malignant tumor patients.

In this study, the tensile properties of hybrid fiber reinforced cementitious composites under the high strain rate was evaluated. Experimental results, the HSF1.5PVA0.5 shown the highest tensile strength because the PVA fiber suppressed the micro cracks in the matrix around the hooked steel fiber and improved the pull-out resistance of hooked steel fiber. Thus, DIF of strain capacity and fracture toughness of HSF1.5PVA were greatly improved. Also, the fracture toughness was greatly improved because the tensile stress was slowly decreased after the peak stress by improvement of the pull-out resistance performance of hooked steel fiber at strain rate 10¹/s.

This paper presents the formulation and numerical implementation of a spectral scheme specially developed to simulate dynamic fracture events in unidirectional and cross-ply fiber-reinforced composites. The formulation is based on the spectral representation of the transversely isotropic elastodynamic relations between the traction stresses along the fracture plane and the resulting displacements. Example problem of dynamically propagating cracks in fiber-reinforced composites is investigated and compared with reference solutions available in the literature and/or experimental observations. This scheme can be directly applicable to the interfacial fracture analysis in the FRP reinforced concrete structures.

철근콘크리트 구조물이 과소설계되어 있거나 과다 하중이 작용하게 되면 그 구조물의 구조성능을 파악하여 보수.보강을 시행하게 된다. 최근에 가장 맣이 사용되는 보수.보강 재료로는 특히 휨내력을 보강하는데 탄소섬유를 들 수 있다. 탄소섬유쉬트는 내열성과 내호염성에 있어서 회재가 발생할 경우 보강재료로서 충분한 성능을 가지고 있다. 그러나 이를 접착시키는데 사용되는 에폭시는 유기계 물질로서 화재시 유독가스가 발생하고 내열성능도 30$0^{\circ}C$정도에도 지탱하기 어려워 화재 발생이 가능한 구조물에 사용하기 어렵다. 이 연구에서는 무기계 폴리머 복합재료로 접착된 탄소섬유를 고온(약 800~100$0^{\circ}C$, 1시간)으로 가열한 후 가열된 섬유판의 인장, 휨 전단내력을 검토하여 내열성능을 파악하고 이 섬유쉬트로 보강한 철근콘크리트 부재의 휨 성능을 실험적으로 규명하여 화재의 위험이 있는 구조물에 구조적인 보강재료로 사용이 가능한가를 검토하였다. 연구 결과, 개발된 무기계 폴리머 복합체는 인장강도, 휨강도 및 접착강도가 유기계 접착제와 유사하게 나타났고 800~100$0^{\circ}C$ 정도로 1시간 가열한 이후에도 상온 시험체 휨내력과 전단내력의 63%, 33% 정도를 유지하여 화재의 위험이 있는 부위에도 사용이 가능한 것으로 판단되었다.

Chitin-based fibers have low mechanical strength and hence cannot be used as surgery fiber due to fast degradation In tissues. A new fiber Chitulose was made by mixing chitin with cellulose, both of which have similar structure. A mixture of dimethylacetamide (DMAc) and 6% lithium chloride (LiCl) was found to be an effective solvent system for dissolvoing chitin and cellulose. The Chitulose fiber made by wet spinning of a mixture of chitin and cellulose resulted in the highest degree of strength and flexibility when the ratio of chitin to cellulose was 1.5; 0.2. The fiber maintained mechanical structure even after autoclaving, indicating thermal stability. A biodegradability test of the Chitulose fiber by imbeding in a rat showed that degradation was initiated in 14 days and completely done in 40 days.
