Hybrid SHCC is being researched actively for its excellent performance in controlling macro and micro cracks using macro and micro fibers, respectively. However, a significant autogenous shrinkage of SHCC is expected since it possesses high unit cement volume in its mix proportion, resulting in autogenous shrinkage cracks. Therefore, this study was performed to evaluate mechanical property of shrinkage-reducing type hybrid SHCC mixed together with steel fiber and PE fiber with excellent micro/macro crack controlling performance. In order to evaluate mechanical property of shrinkage-reducing type hybrid SHCC, replacement ratios of 0% and 10% of expansive admixture and water to binder ratios of 0.45, 0.3, and 0.2 were considered as variables. Then, shrinkage, compressive, flexural, and direct tensile tests were performed. The test results showed that mix proportion with W/B 0.3 significantly improved mechanical performance by using 10% replacement of expansive admixture.

Recently, the effects of high temperature and fiber content on the residual mechnical properties of high-strength concrete were experimentally investigated. In this paper, residual mechanical properties of concrete with water to cement (w/c) ratios of 0.55, 0.42 and 0.35 exposed to high temperature are compared with those obtained in fiber reinforced concrete with similar characteristics ranging from 0.05% to 0.20% polypropylene (PP) fiber volume percentage. Also, factors including pre-load levels of 20% and 40% of the maximum load at room temperature are considered. Outbreak time, thermal strain, length change, and mass loss were tested to determine compressive strength, modulus of elasticity, and energy absorption capacity. From the results, in order to prevent the explosive spalling of 50 MPa grade concretes exposed to high temperature, more than 0.05 vol. % of PP fibers is needed. Also, the cross-sectional area of PP fiber can influence the residual mechanical properties and spalling tendency of fiber reinforced concrete exposed to high temperature. Especially, the external loading increases not only the residual mechanical properties of concrete but also the risk of spalling and brittle failure tendency.

본 연구는 분자동역학 전산모사를 통하여 나일론 6 고분자재료 및 나이론 6 고분자재료를 기지재료로 사용하는 나노복합재에 대하여 인장하중을 부여하고, 인장에 의하여 발생하는 구조적 변화 및 물질의 구조적 특성과 열전도 특성 사이의 상관관계를 규명하였다. 나노복합재의 열전도특성을 변화시키는 주요 인자로는 나노입자, 인장에 의한 고분자 사슬의 배열 변화, 자유부피(free volume)의 변화이다. 고분자 사슬이 열전달 방향으로 배열될 경우 음양자(phonon)의 흐름을 가속화하여 열전도특성이 증가하며, 반면 자유부피의 증가는 음양자의 산란을 증가시켜 열전도특성이 저하된다. 따라서 서로 상반작용을 하는 두 인자가 복합적으로 작용하여 열전도 특성을 결정한다. 인장 하중이 부여됨에 따라 시스템의 열전도특성이 증가하며, 각 시스템의 증가 정도는 시스템의 구조적 특성에 따라 서로 다르다.

This study was designed, firstly, to determine the mineralogical and chemical characteristics of some rock aggregates, secondly, to offer interrelationships between those and mechanical properties, and thirdly, to evaluate their suitability for concrete aggregates. Mineralogical, chemical, physical and mechanical characteristics of the studied rock aggregates indicate that granite from BJ quarry and banded gneisses from KB. HI and SK quarry, and quartzite from the Hongcheon riverside are not proper to cement concrete aggregates because of quartz's potential possibility of alkali-silica reaction, and limestone in SY quarry is proper to asphalt concrete aggregates owing to dolomite causing alkali-carbonate reaction. Augen gneiss and diorite from KB and SA quarry, respectively, are to be not suitable for concrete aggregates because of biotite contents, but augen gneiss in HI quarry and gneisses in Hongcheon riverside are proper to concrete aggregates because of mineralogical and mechanical characteristics.

It is important to obtain detailed physical and mechanical properties of the soil for effective and economical plans and constructions of the structures located on deep seabed soft clay layer. This study is to find out the engineering properties of the seabed soft clay such as water content, initial void ratio, liquid and plastic limits, the compression index, etc., to make correlations between soil parameters, and to compare and analyze the findings with that from the previous researchers. Finally a representative correlation among the soil parameters was determined.

The mechanical and thermal properties of PAN-based/rayon-based carbon fabrics interply hybrid composite materials have been studied. Mechanical properties including tensile and interlaminar shear strengths were improved with increasing amount of continuous PAN-based carbon fabrics. The erosion rate and insulation index were determined through the torch test. Continuous rayon-based carbon fabrics composite indicated relatively low ablation resistant property. The thermal conductivity of hybrid composite of spun PAN-based/continuous rayon-based carbon fabrics is lower than that of the continuous PAN-based carbon fabrics composite.

The paper presents an Experimental Vehicle Model (EVM), that utilizes the kinematic characteristics of suspensions from SPMD test data. The relative displacement and orientation of a wheel with respect to the body are represented as a function of the vertical displacement of the wheel. The equations of motion of the vehicle are formulated in terms of local coordinates that do not require coordinate transformation, which improves the efficiency of dynamic analysis. The EOM was modularized for each suspension model, and a $6{\times}6$ vehicle model was obtained by combining six suspensions. The analysis results were compared with ADAMS to verify the accuracy of the EVM. This study also verifies the feasibility of real-time simulation with the developed EVM. For a vehicle simulation for 1 ms, the real simulation time required within 20% of the prescribed time. This result shows that the EVM meets the real-time simulation requirements.

Anisotropic characteristics of deformation are important to understand the particular behavior in the pre-failure state of soils. Recent experiments show that cross-anisotropic moduli of granular soils can be expressed by functions of normal stresses in the corresponding directions, which is closely linked to micromechanical characteristics of particles. Granular soils are composed of a number of particles so that the force-displacement relationship at each contact point governs the macroscopic stress-strain relationship. Therefore, the micromechanical approach in which the deformation of granular soils is regarded as a mutual interaction between particle contacts is one of the best ways to investigate the anisotropic elastic deformation of soils. In this study, a numerical program based on the theory of micromechanics is developed. Generalized contact model for the irregular contact surface of soil particles is adopted to represent the force-displacement relationship in each contact point far the realistic prediction of anisotropic moduli. To evaluate the model parameters, a set of analytical solutions of anisotropic elastic moduli is derived in the isotropic stress condition. A detailed procedure to determine the model parameters is proposed with emphasis on the practical applicability of micromechanical program to analyze the elastic behavior of the granular soils.
