Several non-destructive test methods have been developed to estimate compressive strength of concrete in other countries. However, their applications are limited in domestic concrete due to their inaccuracies. The purpose of this study is to propose an aging coefficient of compressive strength of structural concrete in rebound number method and ultrasonic pulse velocity method for domestic concrete. The test variables include type of aggregate, curing condition, and compressive strength. Two approaches are used to estimate aging coefficient. One is evaluated by uniform linear regression equation for all ages and shows uniform strength reduction coefficient regardless of material properties and the other is evaluated by individual regression equation for each ages and shows nonuniform strength reduction and rebound increasing coefficients which decrease with increasing of rebound number and compressive strength. The latter result which can include the effect of rebound number and compressive strength is more resonable than the former.

본 연구에서는 콘크리트 강도에 미치는 양생온도의 영향이 양생시점에 따라 어떻게 변하는지에 대한 실험과 기존의 모델식을 이용하여 분석을 수행하였으며, 양생시점의 영향을 고려한 수정된 등가재령식을 제시함으로써 새로운 강도예측식을 개발하기 위한 기초연구이다. 이를 위해 2종류의 물.시멘트비에 대하여 각각 11종류의 양생이력을 고려한 실험을 수행하였다. 실험변수로는 3종류의 양생온도 (5 $^{\circ}C$, 20 $^{\circ}C$, 4$0^{\circ}C$)와 4종류의 양생시점(0~1일. 1~2, 2~3, 6~7일)을 선정하였다. 또 기존의 Saul 및 Arrhenius 모델식을 이용하여 실험결과를 분석하여 양생시점의 영향을 도입한 각각 수정된 등가재령식을 제시하였다. 실험결과에서 초기재령에서 고온 양생한 경우에는 초기에는 높은 강도를 나타내지만 재령이 증가할수록 오히려 낮은 강도를 나타내었다. 또 초기에 저온으로 양생한 콘크리트는 그 반대의 경향을 보였다. 기존의 등가재령식에서는 같은 등가재령에서도 압축강도는 양생시점에 따라 달라짐을 알 수 있었다. 기존의 모델식은 특히 초기재령에서의 강도예측결과가 실험결과와 잘 맞지 않았으나 이 논문에서 제시된 수정된 등가재령식은 실험결과와 잘 일치하는 결과를 보여 주었다.

The objective of this study is to examine the fracture characteristics of concrete at early ages such as critical stress intensity factor, critical crack-tip opening displacement, fracture energy, and bilinear softening curve based on the concepts of the effective-elastic crack model and the cohesive crack model. A wedge splitting test for Mode I was performed on cubic wedge specimens with a notch at the edge. By taking various strengths and ages, load-crack mouth opening displacement curves were obtained, and the results were analyzed by linear elastic fracture mechanics and the finite element method. The results from the test and analysis showed that critical stress intensity factor and fracture energy increased, and critical crack-tip opening displacement decreased with concrete ages from 1 day to 28 days. By numerical analysis four parameters of bilinear softening curve from 1 day to 28 days were obtained. The obtained fracture parameters and bilinear softening curves at early ages may be used as a fracture criterion and an input data for finite element analysis of concrete at early ages.

콘크리트 구조물이 초기재령에서 외기에 노출될 때, 수부확산으로 인하여 수분의 이동이 일어나고, 또한 자체건조도 발생한다. 이러한 콘크리트 내부의 수분확산과 자체건조에 의하여 콘크리트의 위치에 따라 상대습도가 변호한다. 특히 고강도 콘크리트의 경우에 단위 시멘트량을 많이 사용하기 때문에 , 초기재령에서 콘크리트 단면의 수분분포는 자체건조에 의하여 큰 영향을 받는다. 본 연구에서는 초기재령에서 외기에 노출된 콘크리트 내부의 여러 위치에서 상대습도를 측정하였다. 또한 자체건조로 인한 콘크리트의 상대습도 변화를 측정하여 초기재령에서 수분확산과 자체건조가 콘크리트 내부의 각 위치에서 상대습도에 미치는 영향을 검코하였다. 그리고 수분확산 이론에 의하여 해석결과와 실험결과를 비교하여 \ulcorner재령에서 수분확산 이론의 타당성을 검증하였다. 저강도 콘크리트 단면의 수분분포는 주로 수분확산에 의하여 영향을 받았으며, 자체건조의 영향은 매우 작게 나타났다. 그렇지만 고강도 콘크리트는 수분확산 뿐만 아니라 자체건조에 의하여도 영향을 받았다. 또한 수분확산 이론에 의한 해석결과는 실험결과를 잘 예측하였다.

Many investigators have tried to represent the nonlinear behavior of stress-strain relationship of concrete using mathematical curves. Most of empirical expressions for stress-strain relationship, however, have focused on old age concrete, and were not able to represent well the behavior of concrete at an early age. Where wide understanding on the behavior of concrete from early age to old age is very important in evaluating the durability and service life of concrete structures. In this paper, effect of 5 different strength levels and ages of from 12 hours to 28 days on compressive stress-strain relationship was observed experimentally and analytically. Tests were carried out on $\phi$100${\times}$200mm cylindrical specimens water-cured at 20${\pm}$3$^{\circ}C$. An analytical expression of stress-stain relationship with strength and age was developed using regression analyses on experimental results. For the verification of the proposed model, the model was compared with present and existing experimental data and some existing models. The analysis shows that the proposed model predicts well experimental data and describes well effect of strength and age on stress-strain relationship.

This paper aims to calculate age coefficient of ultrasonic pulse velocity by non-destructive test. When concrete compressive strength is measured by non-destructive test, rebound test hammer method is applied to estimate age coefficient depending on the course of time after concrete casting, but ultrasonic pulse velocity method is not applied in the process. Although it is necessary to consider age coefficient with change of ultrasonic pulse velocity of concrete depending on aging, there have been little attempts to apply that method. The experiments were conducted to calculate aging effects which will be applied to establish the formula of measuring concrete strength. As a result of experiments, it was found that ultrasonic pulse velocity showed radical changes depending on concrete hardening in comparison with initial standard values. So, it was concluded that age coefficient must be applied to calculate strength. In conclusion, age coefficient of ultrasonic pulse velocity of concrete was suggested on the basis of experimental results.

This study is devoted to the problems of thermal and shrinkage stresses in order to avoid cracking at early ages. The early-age damage induced by volume change has great influence on the long-term structural performance of the concrete structures such as its durability and serviceability To solve this complex problem, the computer programs for analysis of thermal and shrinkage stresses were developed. In these procedures, numerous material models are needed and the realistic numerical models have been developed and validated by comparison with relevant experimental results in order to solve practical problems. A framework has been established for formulation of material models and analysis with 3-D finite element method. After the analysis of the temperature, moisture and degree of hydration field in hardening concrete structure, the stress development is determined by incremental structural formulation derived from the principle of virtual work. In this study, the stress development is related to thermal and shrinkage deformation, and resulting stress relaxation due to the effect of early-age creep. From the experimental and numerical results it is found that the early-age creep p)ays important role in evaluating the accurate stress state. The developed analysis program can be efficiently utilized as a useful tool to evaluate the thermal and shrinkage stresses and to find measures for avoiding detrimental cracking of concrete structures at early ages.

This study analyzed the basic characteristics and the characteristic of drying shrinkage and creep of high performance concrete complexly metathesized by BS and FA and the results are summarized as the followings. Regarding to the compressive strengths according to the passage of aging, OPC was appeared to be larger than B2F1 at the initial aging but B2F1 was appeared to be higher than OPC at aging 28days. Regarding to the changing rate of drying shrinkage according to the passage of aging, both OPC and B2F1 were appeared to be increased and, at aging 60days, B2F1 was appeared to be largely increased by about 42% as -21${\times}$10-6 및 -51${\times}$10-6 as compared to OPC. The transforming rate of creep was appeared to have been largely increased at the initial aging and then be smoothly increased somewhat as the aging was passed. And regardign to the transforming rate of creep after 60 days had been passed, B2F1 was appeared to be largely increased by about 13% as compared to OPC.

The researches on the early-aged concrete hydration process and the techniques for the early-aged concrete crack control mainly have been focused and developed on the massive concretes in both experimental and numerical studies. However, those researches for relatively thin members such as the upper slab of the reinforced concrete rahmen bridge have nearly been attempted. In this study, a designing technique for crack controlling in the thin members of the early-aged reinforced concrete rahmen bridges based on measured temperature history, strength revelation model and sinkage model is proposed. A method of calculating the reinforcing bar area for crack controlling is also proposed and it is found that the distributing bars under the design loads become the main reinforcing bars in the temperature stress analysis of the early-aged reinforced concrete rahmen bridges. It is shown that the proposed analysis technique is able to use the design of crack control for the early-aged reinforced concrete rahmen bridge.

본 연구는 양생온도이력이 콘크리트 강도에미치는 영향을 평가하기 위한 것으로 물 시멘트비가 60%, 45%, 26%인 3종류의 콘크리트에대하여 5$^{\circ}C$부터 5$0^{\circ}C$까지의 항온양생과 초기재령에 고온도이력을 변수로 한 변동온도양생을 실시한 공시체의 압축강도를 측정하였다. 또한 그 실험결과에 강도평가 방법의 하나인 Maturity 개념을 도입하여 강도평가에 미치는 재령, w/c, 온도이력 등에 대한 영향을 평가하였다. 항온양생 실험결과에 따르면 물시멘트비가 낮을수록 초기재령에서의 강도발현은 높게 나타나며 양생온도 5$0^{\circ}C$인 경우를 제외하고 재령7일까지의 강도발현은 양생온도가 높을수록 크게 나타나고 있다. 한편, 변동온도양생실험결과에 의하면 초기재령에서 고온양생한 콘크리트의 강도발현은 물시멘트비의 영향을 크게 받으며, 1주 이후의 양생온도가 강도발현에 미치는 영향은 1주까지의 고온도이력에 대한 영향에 비교해 2차적이다. 기존의 Maturity개념인 Saul-Bergstrom의 함수와 Ooi의 함수를 가지고 항온 및 변동온도 양생실험결과를 분석한 결과, 전체적으로 Saul-Bergstrom식에 의한 경우가 실험값과의 차이가 작게 나타났으나 두 식 모두 Maturity 가 큰 경우에는 계산에 의한 값이 실험에 의한 값보다 크게 나타나고 있어 장기 재령시 강도평가는 한계강도 개념을 고려한 새로운 Matruity함수를 제안할 필요가 있다.
