Appropriate evaluation of thermal insulation property of structural member and valid control of cooling/heating energy are important for improving building's energy efficiency. The typical heating system of house in Korea is the floor heating one. The radiation heating system is not only appropriate to climate and geographic conditions of Korea, but also advantageous to provide emotional comfort by the warm feeling of floor. Based on living conditions in Korea, scaled models of the wooden house and concrete house were designed. The ceiling was made of styrofoam insulation and the four sided walls and bottom were made of plywood and concrete, respectively. The floor was heated by heating film. Indoor vertical temperature distributions by floor heating system were measured by thermocouple, and surface temperatures on walls were measured by infrared thermography. Also, thermal insulation property of wooden wall was evaluated to build database for improving energy efficiency of wooden building. It is expected that collected data during tests of various types of floor and wall composition could be referenced for evaluating thermal environment of actual conditions of houses.

This paper presents compression capacity of transfer system in pilotis subjected to axial load. Recently, transfer system is usually used in low floors of wall-typed apartments when members' sections are suddenly changed between upper walls and bottom columns. It can help transfer loads from the walls to the columns. Especially, a transfer girder system is usually used as one of transfer systems applied to a pilotis. However, the transfer girder system has low constructability and economics. Therefore, the other transfer system with transfer slab was suggested and has been studied. In this paper, to evaluate the compression capacity of transfer slab, tests were conducted on pilotis transfer slab systems subjected to axial load. First of all, two specimens were determined by FEM. The main parameter is length of the bottom columns. The lengh of the bottom columns were 40% and 50% of length of upper walls in the tranfer slab specimens. Results showed that the compression capacity of piloti transfer systems subjected to axial load was affected by length of bottom columns. The compression capacity is 52% higher than design strength for specimen with the bottom column's length of 40% of length of the upper wall and 46% for specimen with the bottom column's length of 50% of length of the upper wall.

The pullout test, a nondestructive testing(NDT), for pre-installed inserts is perhaps the most widely used technique to estimate the in-situ compressive strength of concrete. It measures the force needed to pullout a standardized metal insert embedded into concrete members. The pullout test was certified by the American Society for Testing and Materials(ASTM) and Canadian Standards Association(CSA) as a reliable method for determining the strength of concrete in concrete structures under construction. To easily estimate the strength of ultra-high-strength concrete, a simplified pullout tester, primarily composed of a standard 12mm bolt with a groove on the shaft as a break-off bolt, an insert nut, and a hydraulic oil pump without a load cell, was proposed. Four wall and two slab specimens were tested for two levels of concrete strength, 80MPa and 100MPa, using a simplified pullout tester with a load cell to verify the advantages of the pullout test and simplified pullout test. The compressive strength of concrete, pullout load, and the rupture of the break-off bolt were measured 11 times, day 1 to 7, 14, 21, 28, and 90. The correlation of the pullout load and the compressive strength of each specimen show a higher degree of reliability. Therefore, a simplified pullout test can be used to evaluate the in-place strength of ultra-high-strength concrete in structures. The prediction equation for the groove diameter of the break-off bolt(y) with the concrete strength(x) was proposed as y=0.0184x+5.4. The results described in this research confirm the simplified pullout's utility and potential for low cost, simplicity, and convenience.

This paper describes the experimental study on the structural behavior of the vertical plane connection between a reinforced concrete wall and a steel plate concrete wall under out-of-plane flexural loads. The specimen was tested under a dynamic test with the use of cyclic loads. As a result of the test, ductile failure mode of vertical bars was shown under a push load and the failure load was more than that of the nominal strength of the specimen. However, the shear failure mode of the connection was confirmed in case of a pull test and thus demonstrates a need for a shear reinforcement.

프리캐스트 콘크리트 박스 암거는 현장 타설식 암거에 비해 구조물의 고품질화 및 반복적인 대량생산으로 원가 절감과 건식화 시공으로 인한 공정의 단순화와 공기가 단축되는 이점을 지니고 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 상재 허용하중을 확보하고, 시공성 및 내구성이 뛰어나며, 경제성을 고려한 고성능 프리캐스트 박스 암거를 개발하고 향후 고성능 프리캐스트 박스 암거를 생산하기 위한 기초적인 자료를 제시하고자 하였다. 본 연구에서는 기존의 보통 포틀랜드 시멘트를 이용한 프리캐스트 박스 암거의 경제성 및 내구성, 강도특성을 개선하고자 고로슬래그를 이용하여 최적의 배합비를 산출하고, 이를 토대로 중성화, 염해, 동결융해 등의 시험을 통해 내구성을 확보하고, 휨 성능을 확인하고자 실물박스암거를 제작하여 외압강도시험을 실시하였다. 또한 구조해석을 통해 응력검토를 하였다. 내구성 검토 결과, 분말도 $6,000cm^2/g$을 가진 고로슬래그 미분말을 50%로 혼입한 콘크리트가 보통 포틀랜드 시멘트를 사용한 콘크리트보다 염화물이온 투과성에 대한 저항성 및 동결융해 저항성 등 기초물성 및 내구성이 개선됨을 알 수 있었다. 박스암거에 대한 휨 시험 결과, OPC에 비해 GFSC6의 경우는 크게 구조적 성능이 떨어지지는 않는 것으로 나타났으며, 균열양상 및 연성도에서는 우수함을 나타냈다. ABAQUS에 의한 비선형 해석 결과는 시험체의 휨 거동을 잘 묘사하는 것으로 나타났으며, 처짐의 경우 시험체의 시험결과보다 크게 나타났지만, 처짐 양상은 비슷한 것을 알 수 있었고, 벽체와 상부 슬래브에 발생하는 응력은 부재가 허용하는 균열응력값 이내로 나타남에 따라 사용하중 상태에서의 응력검토는 안전한 것으로 판단된다.

Thermal stresses due to the heat of hydration can cause extensive cracking in subway structures. In order to reduce heat cracks, construction methods (e.g. sequential or skipping construction methods) need to be changed. However, to our knowledge, the existing literature contains little information on the correlation between heat cracks and construction methods. Thus, in this study, the temperature crack index table was suggested based on construction lengths (6 m, 9 m and 18 m), concrete mixtures (Type I cement with FA of 20 % in cement weight, Type IV cement with FA of 10 % in cement weight, and mixture of three different cements), construction seasons (spring or autumn, summer and winter) and construction method (sequential or skipping construction methods). The index table can be easily used corresponding to changes in concrete placing method at the construction site. Also, the correlation of cracking due to sequential or skipping construction methods was derived based on the statistical approaches.

The super tall building above 100 floors is required that each floor's height is more than 4 meters, and each core wall's thickness is more than 60cm. Therefore, for the successive accomplishment of super tall building, the full scale mock-up test was required. The test results are as follows; Real strength of core wall was satisfied with design strength at 28 days regardless of types of strength, and according to the consolidation effect, lower part's strength was a little higher than upper part's strength. Lateral force of HSC was evaluated with max. $4.5ton/m^2$, and hydration temperature of mock-up test was evaluated that maximun heat of central part revealed about $80^{\circ}C$ at 70MPa and $65^{\circ}C$ at 50MPa, and, the difference between inner and outter part revealed about $30^{\circ}C$ at 70MPa and $12^{\circ}C$ at 50MPa. Also, no crack by hydration temperature was not shown on the surface.

In this paper, internal blast effect of reinforced concrete core structure were investigated using Ansys Autodyn, which is a specialized hydrocode for the analysis of explosion and impact. It is expected that internal blast case can give additional damage to the structure because it causes rebound of blast loads. Therefore, in this paper, the hazard of internal blast effect is demonstrated using UFC 3-340-02 criteria. In addition, analysis result of Autodyn, experimental result regarding rebound of blast load, and example of UFC 340-02 are compared to verify that Autodyn can analyze internal blast effect properly. Furthermore, progressive collapse mechanism of core structure which is one of the most important parts in high rise buildings is also analyzed using Autodyn. When internal blasts are loaded to core structure, the core structure is mostly damaged on its corner and front part of core wall from explosives. Therefore, if the damaged parts of core wall are demolished, progressive collapse of the core structure can be initiated.

The objective of this study is to present the design approach of low $CO_2$ concrete structures for reduction of $CO_2$ emissions. The design approach was implemented considering the system boundary for each processing presented in the ISO 13315-2. As for life-cycle inventory(LCI) for $CO_2$ assessment of concrete structures, data provided from domestic LCI DB was used. Based on the process presented in this study, case studies on the life-cycle $CO_2$ assessment of shear wall concrete structure was conducted. As substitution level of GGBS is 25%, the amount of $CO_2$ emissions and $CO_2$ uptake by concrete carbonation was decreased in the material, demolition and crushing, and transport phase. The amount of $CO_2$ emissions of column and total member was decreased by 26% and 22% respectively, compared to that of OPC.

A field instrumentation for a recycled waste concrete geobag wall was performed to investigate the performance of the geobag wall, and uniaxial compression tests for a recycled waste concrete geobag were executed in laboratory. The strength of a recycled waste concrete geobag, the lateral earth pressure of a geobag wall, the horizontal deflection of a geobag wall, and the deformation of a backfill in geobag wall are mainly evaluated in this study. Based on the results of analysis on the measurements, it was found that the geobag wall displacement was within the recommendation for mechanically stabilized earth walls. It was also found that the use of a recycled waste concrete in geobag wall provides economical benefit, construction easiness, and good performance.
