초기재령에서 외기에 노출된 콘크리트는 수분확산으로 인하여 부등건조수축이 발생하고, 또한 자체건조로 인하여 자기수축도 발생한다. 따라서 콘크리트 재부의 수축변형도는 이러한 자기수축을 포함하고 있으므로 이를 고려해야 한다. 본 연구에서는 초기재령에서 콘크리트 강도에 따라 자기수축의 영향을 고려하여 부둥건조수축에 대한 실험과 해석을 수행하였다. 또한 콘크리트 내부의 부등수분분포로 인한 수축변형도에 대하여 실험결과와 해석결과를 비교하여, 해석방법의 타당성을 검증하였다. 실험 및 분석결과에 의하면 저강도콘크리트는 수분확산으로 인하여 주로 수축현상이 일어나고 자기수축의 영향은 거의없었다. 그렇지만 고강도 콘크리트는 자기수축에 의해서도 영향을 받았다. 그리고 콘크리트의 부등건조수축은 강도에 따라 큰 차이를 나타냈다. 또한 제시한 해석방법에 의한 해석결과는 실험결과를 잘 예측하였다.

Shrinkage strip or separation strip is a temporary joint that is left open for a certain time during construction to allow a significant part of the shrinkage to take place without inducing stress. A shrinkage stress analysis method of shrinkage strip in concrete slab of multi-story building considering the relaxation effect of creep and construction sequence is proposed. The analysis results of 10-story example building show that the effect of shrinkage strip can be analyzed easily by the proposed method. And shrinkage strip installed in a particular floor makes the stress of that floor reduced and the stress of the other floors increased a little. The rate and amount of stress reduced with closing time mainly depends on the development of shrinkage with time of concrete model used. The amount of stress reduced is determined by the amount of shrinkage strain developed before the closing of shrinkage strip.

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.

Shrinkage strains of concrete slab in multi-story building are restrained by structural members such as columns or walls, then can induce cracks due to excessive shrinkage stress over tensile strength of member. In this study, a shrinkage stress analysis method of concrete slab in multi-story building considering not only material properties such as shrinkage, creep and reinforcement effect but also construction sequence is proposed. Tensile stresses of slab due to shrinkage are calculated by converting shrinkage strains into equivalent temperature gradients, creep that can release shrinkage stress can be considered by replacing the modulus of elasticity of concrete, Ec , to the effective secant modulus of elasticity of concrete, E$\_$eff/ Reinforcements are also considered by modeling them as equivalent beam elements in FEM program. Results of step by step analysis reflecting construction sequence summed up to calculate stresses of the whole building considering that shrinkage stresses of the building come from the difference of shrinkage between i-th floor and (i-1)-th floor, named as effecitive shrinkage, and it can be varied by construction sequence. The results of 10-story example building show that shrinkage stresses of lower floors are greater than those of upper floors, that is, stresses of lower floors(1∼2FI.) exceed modulus of rupture of concrete, but stress ratios of higher floors are in the range of 27.9∼92.8%.

In this paper, an analytical method which can predict the occurrence of plastic shrinkage cracking on concrete slabs with sequential placement is proposed on the basis of the numerical model introduced in the previous study. The influence of many design variables on plastic shrinkage cracking such as the number of layers and the time interval between layers is quantitatively analyzed through parametric studies using the analytical method. In advance, two equations are introduced to take into account the effect of sequential placement on the plastic shrinkage cracking of concrete slab; The first one is to calculate the time at which the surface of concrete slab begins to dry, and the second one is to determine the critical time interval to prevent the surface drying of previously placed concrete layers. The timing of curing and the sequence of concrete placement, which are important for the prevention of plastic shrinkage cracking, can be effectively planned using the introduced both equations without any rigorous analysis.

Shrinkage is one of typical characteristics of concrete with cement paste and aggregates. A lot of studies on this has been conducted with an assumption that the concrete is a homogeneous material. However, as shrinkage acts on only one of the components that consist of concrete, it is hard to be characterized only by the average effective properties. Therefore, in this paper, the concrete shrinkage, which is one of the typical characteristics and still has a lot of uncertainty, is simulated considering its heterogeneous properties. Using a meso model, concrete is modeled with the combination of mortar and aggregates, and the shrinkage is simulated by applying the shrinkage strain on the mortar only. According to the results, it is shown that the cracking of shrinking concrete is largely influenced by the types of aggregates and the degree of restraint. Also, the shrinkage cracking cannot be represented only by the single values such as tensile strength since the stiffness of aggregates and the degree of restraint influence the cracking.

Recently, it is noticed that autogenous shrinkage of high-performance concrete causes early crack in high performance concrete structures. The purpose of the present study is to derive a realistic equation to estimate the autogenous shrinkage of high performance concrete and to apply to structural analysis. For this purpose, several series of concrete specimens have been tested. When water-binder ratio is fixed to $30\%$, major test variables were the type and contents of mineral admixture. The autogenous shrinkage of HPC with fly ash slightly decreased than that of OPC concrete, but the use of blast furnace slag increased with the autogenous shrinkage. A prediction equation to estimate the autogenous shrinkage of HPC with mineral admixture was derived and proposed in this study. The proposed equation show reasonably good correlation with test data on autogenous shrinkage of HPC with mineral admixture. The finite element program developed in this study provides the useful tool for the flexural analysis including the autogenous shrinkage model. By this program, we know that the tensile stress considering the autogenous shrinkage of reinforced concrete structures increase $20\~27\%$ than that not considering.

Water binder ratio combine high-performance concrete shrinkage of less than 0.4 to determine the transformation to a total shrinkage of water to move outside and internal consumption of moisture due to drying shrinkage and autogenous shrinkage, and then, the relative humidity changes and strain to be approached by surface physics describe the relationship between self-desiccation and autogenous shrinkage was set. To verify the self-desiccation in the humidity shrinkage and humidity measurements performed, and the research model, Tazawa, CEB-FIP model than to let the measure and the most similar results in this study based on self-desiccation model, autogenous shrinkage didn't represent the linear shrinkage by the drying shrinkage of the external moving but exponential relationships, unlike with the nature and rapid in the early age properly describes the attributes in shrinkage could see. After this research to move moisture and to reflect the shrinkage model, temperature, moisture transfer, strain analysis by multi-physics model is very similar to the results of mock-up specimen measurements performed for this research, the value measured by the internal consumption of moisture, therefore self-desiccation and a multi-physics model considering autogenous shrinkage might be relevant.

In this paper, the engineering properties and estimation of drying shrinkage of concrete incorporating fly ash (FA), blast furnace slag (BS) and cement kiln dust (CKD) were discussed. FA, BS and CKD contents ranged from 0% to 20%. Water to binder ratio (W/B) also ranged from 40 to 50 %, with a 5% interval. For estimating drying shrinkage, an exponential model proposed by the author was applied, According to results, the use of FA, BS and CKD resulted in a decrease of flowability and air contents. As expected, the use of admixtures also decreases the early age strength of concrete, while at later age, due to a pozzolanic reaction of FA and BS, the compressive strength was recovered to a value comparable with that of plain concrete. For drying shrinkage, the use of admixtures led to an increase in the drying shrinkage of concrete. The exponential model suggested by the author showed good agreement between the calculated and experimental values both at early age and at later age.

Since Modern bridges have a tendency to make the spans continuous and longer, the effect of concrete shrinkage and creep is very important and must be evaluated appropriately for the durability and safety of steel-concrete composite bridges. However, highway design specification in current use prescribes $180^{1\;2}$ as the final shrinkage strain. which is for less value than one resulted from many experimental researches and cause some problems in the construction of composite bridges due to the understimation of shrinkage strain. Thus, in this paper nonlinear analysis with time-steps applying the CEB-FIP(90) provision have been conducted for plate girder bridge, box girder bridge and Preflex beam bridge and the linear equivalent shrinkage strain for the design of composite bridges. which produces the stress equal to the values from the nonlinear analysis, has been calculated by comparing the results with the values following highway design specification. The results yield appropriately double values than $180^{1\;2}$ which highway design specification prescribes.
