The shear behavior of simply supported reinforced concrete deep beams subject to concentrated loads has been scrutinized experimentally to verify the influence of the structural parameters such as concrete strength, shear span-depth ratio, and web reinforcements. A total of 42 reinforced concrete deep beams with compressive strengths of 250 kg/$cm^2$ and 500 kg/$cm^2$ has been tested at the laboratory under one or two-point top loading. The shear span-depth ratio have been taken as three types of 0.4, 0.8 and 1.2, and the horizontal and vertical shear reinforcements ratio, ranging from 0.0 to 0.57 percent respectively. In the tests, the effects of the shear span-depth ratio, concrete strength and web reinforcements on the shear strength and crack initiation and propagation have been carefully checked and analyzed. From the tests, it has been observed that the failures of all specimens were due to shear and the shear behaviors of specimens were greatly affected by inclined cracks from the load application points to the supports in shear span. The load bearing capacities have changed significantly depending on the shear span ratio, and the efficiency of horizontal shear reinforcements were increased as the shear span-depth ratio decreased. The test results have been analyzed and compared with the formulas proposed by previous researchers and the design equation from the code. While the shear strengths obtained from the tests showed around 1.4 and 1.9 times higher than the values calculated by CIRIA guide and the domestic code, they were closely coincident with the formulas given by de Paiva's equation.

With the recent development of nanotechnology, its application in the field of construction materials is continuously increasing. However, until now, studies on the bond characteristics of concrete and rebar for applying high-strength lightweight concrete with a compressive strength of 50 MPa and a unit weight of 16 kN/m³ to structural members are lacking. Therefore, in this paper, 81 specimens of high-strength lightweight concrete with a compressive strength of 50 MPa and a unit weight of about 16 kN/m³ were fabricated and a direct pull-out tests were performed. The design code for the bond strength of ACI-408R and the experimental results are shown to be relatively similar, and as a result of the CEB-FIP and modified CMR bond behavior models through statistical analysis, it is shown to describe well on average.

양북터널은 굴착과 동시에 라이닝콘크리트를 타설하였다. 터널굴착과 라이닝콘크리트의 동시시공을 위한 적정시공 Cycle을 결정하고, 이에 따른 양생기간과 양생온도를 설정하는 순으로 시험하였다. 라이닝콘크리트는 품질관리를 위해 보온장치를 탑재한 Sliding form과 양생대차를 운영하고, 균열을 최소화하기 위해 양생온도와 양생시간 및 탈형강도 등을 시험에 의해 결정하였다. 시험과정은 터널내부와 라이닝콘크리트 내부온도를 계절별로 측정하고, 양생온도별로 콘크리트의 강도를 측정하였다. 거푸집 탈형시 콘크리트 온도가 터널내부의 온도로 수렴하기까지는 $15{\sim}20^{\circ}C$의 차이로 측정되었고, 거푸집 탈형을 위한 콘크리트 초기강도 4MPa을 발현하는데는 양생온도에 따라 차이가 발생하지만 시공 Cycle에 적합한 양생시간은 약 20시간이고, 이 때의 양생온도는 $23^{\circ}C$ 이상이었다. 위의 시험결과대로 현장에서 라이닝콘크리트를 양생한 결과 시공 Cycle과 압축강도 및 콘크리트면의 외관 등이 만족한 결과를 나타내었다.

Precast concrete method is known to have advantages of minimizing works in the construction, controlling concrete quality easily and saving construction period due to only fabrication work in the construction field, but it needs to apply steam curing to accelerate early concrete strength. In the meanwhile, the oil cost for steam curing has been continuously increased because of political instability in the middle East and international economic shaky. Thus, this study addresses the development of precast/ prestressed concrete which has over 14MPa at 1 day age and specified concrete strength of 40MPa at low temperature, not applying steam curing. Tests were carried out in terms of material characteristics in fresh concrete and compressive strength using 3 types of cement such as Type I, Type III and rapid hardening compound cement. As results of tests, it is found that cements for rapid hardening had disadvantages with respect to slump, slump loss, and air content, but showed higher compressive strength than specified one, especially the highest value when using rapid hardening compound.

천연제올라이트를 사용한 콘크리트의 특성을검토하기 위하여 천연제올라이트의 대체율 및 입자크기에 따라 콘크리트의 압축강도, 동결융해저항성, 건조수축 및 투수성 등을 실험하였다. 이때 천연제올라이트는 입자크기(중간값)가 12.7$\mu\textrm{m}$과 10.39$\mu\textrm{m}$인 것을 사용하였으며 콘크리트실험에서 천연제올라이트의 시멘트 중량에 대한 대체율은 5%, 10%, 15% 및 20%로 하였다. 천연제올라이트의 대체율이 15%이하인 콘크리트는 동일한 물-결합재비에서 천연제올라이트를 사용하지 않은 경우와 비교하여 재령 28일 및 91일의 압축강도가 크게나타났으며 이러한 강도의 증가는 천연제올라이트의 입자크기가 작은 경우 보다 크게 나타났다. 콘크리트의 동결융해에 대한 저항성이나 건조수축에 의한 길이변화는 천연제올라이트의 대체율에 따라 명확한 차이를 보이자 않았으나 다만 천연제올라이트의 대체율이 20%인 경우는 길이변화가 크게 되는 경향을 나타냈다. 수밀성시험에서는 천연제올라트의 입자크기가 12.7$\mu\textrm{m}$인 경우 그의 사용량이 증가함에 따라 수밀성이 저하하였으며 입자크기가 10.39$\mu\textrm{m}$인경우는 천연제올라이트의 대체율이 10% 이하인 경우 수밀성이 다소 개선되는 것으로 나타났으나 그 이상의 대체율에서는 수밀성이 저하되는 경향을 나타냈다.

A theoretical study was performed to investigate the behavioral chracteristics and shear strength of fiber reinforced concrete slender beams. In the fiber reinforced concrete beam, the shear force applied to a cross section of the beam was resisted by both compressive zone and tensile zone. The shear capacity of the compressive zone was defined addressing the interaction with the normal stresses developed by the flexural moment in the cross section. The shear capacity of the tensile zone was defined addressing the post-cracking tensile strength of fiber reinforced concrete. Since the magnitude and distribution of the normal stresses vary according to the flexural deformation of the beam, the shear capacity of the beam was defined as a function of the flexural deformation of the beam. The shear strength of the beam and the location of the critical section were determined at the intersection between the shear capacity and shear demand curves. The proposed method was developed as a unified shear design method which is applicable to conventional reinforced concrete as well as fiber reinforced concrete.

There are some problems in utilizing recycled concrete aggregate go structural use because of the difficulties concerning about quality control and durability. It seems to be possible to utilize recycled concrete aggregate for making concrete products because quality control of concrete products is easier than ready-mixed concrete, but there are little studies about the properties of the steam-cured recycled aggregate concrete. In this study, various tests were performed such as compressive strength, flexural strength, splitting tensile strength, bonding strength and chloride ion penetration test to evaluate the effect of substitution of recycled concrete aggregate. The results of strength test showed that the concrete strength decreased with the increase of the substitution ratio of recycled concrete aggregate, but it was in the reasonable range and almost equal to that of normal concrete below the substitution ratio of $50\%$. On the other hand, strength test of furnace slag cement concrete shows that the strength of recycled concrete with furnace slag cement under curing condition lower than that of recycled concrete with ordinary portland cement under same condition. From the result of this study, it can be concluded that recycled concrete aggregate is able to be utilized for structural use but substitution ratio should be decided with care in each case. The result of this study could be used as the basic data for the structural use of recycled concrete aggregate.

Two different types of shear-friction tests were classified by external loadings and referred to as a push-off and a pull-off test. In a pull-off test, a tension force is applied in the transverse direction of the test specimen to produce a shear stress at the shear plane. This paper presents a method to evaluate shear transfer strengths of uncracked pull-off specimens. The method is based on the compression field theory and different constitutive laws are applied in some ways to gain accurate shear strengths considering softening effects of concrete struts based on Modified Compression Field Theory (MCFT) and Softened Truss Model (STM). The validity of the proposed method is examined by applying to some selected test specimens in literatures and results are compared with the predicted values. A general agreement is observed between predicted and measured values at ultimate loading stages in initially uncracked pull-off test specimens. A shear strength evaluation formula considering the effective compressive strength of a concrete strut was proposed, and the applicability of the proposed formula was verified by comparing with the experimental results in the literature.
