High strength concrete used for large structures is vulnerable to fire due to explosive spalling when it is heated. Recently, various research is conducted to enhance the fire-resistance of the high strength concrete by reducing the explosive spalling at the elevated temperature. In this study, a heat transfer analysis model is proposed for a fiber-embedded fire-resistant high strength concrete. The material model of the fire-resistant high strength concrete is selected from the calibrated material model of a high strength concrete incorporating thermal properties of fibers and physical behavior of internal concrete at the elevated temperature. By comparing the simulated results using the calibrated model with the experimental results, the heat transfer model of the fiber-embedded fire-resistant high strength concrete is proposed.

본 논문에서는 강섬유를 혼입한 철근콘크리트 부재의 전단거동에 관한 실험 및 이론적 연구를 수행하였다. 이를 위하여 강섬유가 혼입된 구조부재를 제작하여 실험을 수행하여 강섬유의 전단보강 효과를 규명하였으며, 부재의 연성, 극한전단강도 및 초기균열 전단강도 등을 모두 만족하는 최적의 강섬유 혼입량 및 전단 철근 배근량을 제안하였다. 본 실험으로부터 강섬유의 혼입으로 인하여 연성의 증가뿐 아니라, 초기균열강도는 크게 향상되었으며, 극한전단강도 역시 만족할만큼 증가함을 알수 있었다. 위의 실험결과로부터 강섬유 혼입량(체적비)1%, 시방서에서 규정하는 전단철근 필요량의 75%가 가장 만족스러운 조합임을 알 수 있었다. 본 논문에서는 강섬유가 혼입된 철근 콘크리트부재가 극한 전단강도 예측기법이 제시되었으며, 앞으로 강섬유 콘크리트는 연성을 필요로 한는 내진구조물등에 효율적으로 이용될 것으로 사료된다.

The effects of fiber content on strength properties of ultrarapid-hardening polymer-modified concretes with fiber. As a result, the compressive and flexural strengths of ultrarapid-hardening polymer-modified concretes with fiber increase with increasing of fiber content. In particular, the ultrarapid-hardening polymer-modified concretes with a polymer-cement ratio of 20% and a fiber content of 0.08% provide approximately two times higher flexural strength than unmodified concretes. Such high strength development is attributed to the high tensile strength of polymer and fiber and the improved bond between cement hydrates and aggregates because of the addition of polymer and fiber.

This study examined the effect of amorphous metallic (AM) fibers on the spalling properties of ultra high strength concrete. Six specimens with concrete strengths of 100 MPa and 150 MPa were evaluated with mix proportions of polypropylene (PP) fibers of 0.15% by concrete volume, and proportions of AM fibers of 0.3% and 0.5% by concrete volume. These specimens were then heated in accordance with the ISO-834 heating curve. The movement of water vapor through a pore network formed by molten PP fibers was found to be a dominant factor controlling the spalling of high-strength concrete. Spalling control was not found to be significantly affected by the addition of 0.3% AM fibers; however, when 0.5% AM fibers was added, cracking was limited and so were paths for water vapor migration, increasing the likelihood of a moisture clog and creating the differential internal pressure often blamed for concrete spalling.

To improve fire-resistance of a high strength concrete against explosive spalling under elevated temperature, fibers can be mixed with concrete to provide flow paths of evaporated water within concrete to the free surface. The fiber-mix concrete approach is effective against explosive spalling when the flow path generated from melting fibers at the elevated temperature is interconnected to transport high pressurized evaporated water from the inside concrete to the free surface. The percolation theory can identify the connectivity of the fibers and provide an estimate of the fire-resistance of concrete by investigating layout of fibers. In this study, the correlation between percolation theory and explosive spalling of fiber-mixed high strength concrete is analyzed and the connectivity of the fiber in concrete is stereologically investigated by using virtual specimens of fiber-mixed high strength concrete.

최근들어 성능이 우수하고 품질이 높은 새로운 건설소재를 개발하려는 노력이 계속되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 고강도화 및 연성확보를 위하여 폴리머 콘크리트에 섬유를 혼입한 섬유보강 폴리머 콘크리트를 제조하여 강도 및 역학적 특성을 규명하고자 하였다. 이를 위하여 포괄적인 실험연구를 수행하였으며 주요실험변수로는 강섬유의 혼입량과 채움재(filler)의 혼입량, 그리고 양생온도를 주요변수로 선정하였다. 강섬유의 혼입량은 체적비로 0%, 1%, 2%로 변화시켰으며, 채움재와 수지의 비는 1.0과 1.5로 하였다. 본 연구결과 섬유의 혼입으로 인하여 압축강도, 휨강도, 인장강도 모두 증가하였으며, 특히 인장강도의 증가가 더 크게 나타났다. 양생온도가 증가한 경우 폴리머의 중합반응이 좋아져 강도가 증가하였다. 또한 본 논문에서는 섬유보강 폴리머 콘크리트의 응력-변형도 관계곡선을 도축하였으며, 이것은 구조설계시 중요한 기초가 될 것으로 사료된다.

This paper presents results of an experimental study conducted to investigate the effect of volume fraction of fibers on the mechanical properties of a fiber-reinforced, lightweight aggregate concrete(FRLAC) that was produced without an autoclave process. The FRLAC enhanced the strength of lightweight, cellular concrete by adding polypropylene fibers and lightweight aggregates. To investigate the effect of volume fraction of fibers on the mechanical behavior of FRLAC and to determine the optimal volume fraction of fibers, a series of compression and flexural strength tests on FRLAC specimens with various fiber volume fractions(0%, 0.10%, 0.25%, 0.50%) were conducted. It was observed from the tests that a 0.25% volume fraction of fibers maximized the increase in the strength of FRLAC and the fibers controlled cracking in FRLAC.

In this study, fracture tests were carried out in order to investigate the fracture behavior of SFRC(Steel Fiber Peinforced Concrete) with initial cracks. The relationships between loading. strain, mld-span deflections and CMOD(Crack Mouth Opening Displacement) of the beams were observed under the three point loading system. The effect of the fiber content and the initial crack ratio on the concrete fracture behavior were studied and the fracture toughness, the critical energy release ratio and the fracture energy were also calcul ated from the test results. From the test results, it was known that when the fiber contents are between 0.5% and 1.0%, and 1.5% the average fracture energy of SFRC specimens is about 7~10 times. and about 15 times better than that of the plam concrete specimens respectively.ively.

This paper describes the effect of aggregate size on compressive behavior of high-strength steel fiber reinforced concrete. The Specified compression strength is 60 MPa and the range of fiber volume fraction is 0~2%. The main variable is the aggregate size, which was used for the aggregate size of 8 and 20 mm. So, ten concrete mixtures were prepared and tested to evaluate the fresh and hardened properties of SFRC at curing ages (7, 14, 28, 56 and 91 days), respectively. Items estimated in this study are the fresh properties (air contents, slump), hardened properties (compressive strength, modulus of elasticity, post-peak response and compressive toughness). As a result, the aggregate size has little effect on the compressive strength and modulus of elasticity. On the other hand, the ductile behavior was shown after post peak and the compressive toughness was increasing as decreasing the aggregate size. These effects are clearly represented in the fiber volume fraction 2%, which are the point appeared fiber ball. It is considered that the decreasing the aggregate size has effect on the fiber dispersibility.

To decrease the usage of cement, the pozzolan reaction materials are used as a mineral admixture. Hwang Toh which is broadly deposited in Korea is well known as a environment friendly material and the activated Hwang Toh which has the property of pozzolan reaction is practically used as a mineral admixture of concrete. PET fiber which is made by recycled PET bottle controls micro crack in concrete. But the study about concrete mixed with reinforcing fiber is not enough and the property of Hwang Toh concrete mixed with PET fiber is more complicated case. So this study performed drying shrinkage experiment to analyse mechanical property of Hwang Toh concrete mixed with PET fiber.
