The purpose of this study was to evaluate bending performance of concrete filled soldier pile for temporary retaining wall. Structural performance tests were conducted on total number of four specimens. Each specimen had a unique characteristics with combination of the following variables, existence of reinforcing bar and locations of reinforcing steel plates. The results of this study were as follows; concrete filled steel tubes with being reinforced bar and flange rather than non-bar showed better performance. Higher yield, tensile strength and sufficient plastic strain were archived and maximum moment observed in experiments exceeded theoretical maximum moment in both allowable stress design and limit state design at all specimens.

In this study, the beam-to column connections of concrete-encased-and-filled steel tube columns were tested under cyclic loading. Two specimens using steel beams and two specimens using precast concrete beams were tested. The dimension of the column cross section was $670mm{\pm}670mm$. The beam depths were 488mm and 588mm for the steel beams and 700mm for the precast concrete beams. The longitudinal bar ratios of the precast concrete beams were 1.1% and 1.5%. For the connections to the steel beams, continuity plates were used in the tube columns. For the connections to the PC beams, couplers were used for beam re-bar connections. The test results showed that except for a specimen, deformation capacities of the specimens were greater than 4% rotation angle, which is the requirement for the Special Moment Frame. Particularly, specimens using precast concrete beam showed excellent performances in the strength, deformation, and energy dissipation.

This study was intended to compare and evaluate the adhesion of High flowing Self-compacting Concrete (HSCC), Conventional Concrete (CC) and deformed bar based on concrete strength 3 (30, 50 and 70 MPa), among the factors affecting the bond strength between concrete and rebar, after fabricating the specimen by modifying the rebar position at Horizontal reinforcement at bottom position (HB), horizontal reinforcement at top position (HT) and vertical reinforcement type (V). As a result of measuring bond strength of HB/HT rebar to evaluate the factor of the rebar at top position, the bond strength of HB/HT rebar at 50 and 70 MPa was 1.3 or less and at 30 MPa, HSCC and CC appeared to be 1.2 and 2,1, respectively. Thus, when designing the anchorage length according to the concrete structure design standard (2007) at HSCC 30, 50 and 70 MPa, it would be desirable to reduce the correction factor of anchorage length of the horizontal reinforcement at top position, which is suggested for the reinforcement at top position, to less than 1.3 of CC.

In construction industries, new construction materials are needed to overcome some problems associated with the use of conventional construction materials due to the change of environmental and social requirements. Accordingly, the requirements to be satisfied in the design of civil engineering structures are diversified. As a new construction material in the civil engineering industries, fiber reinforced polymeric plastic (FRP) has a superior corrosion resistance, high specific strength/stiffness, etc. Therefore, such properties can be used to mitigate the problems associated with the use of conventional construction materials. Nowadays, new types of bridge piers and marine piles are being studied for new construction. They are usually made of concrete filled fiber reinforced polymeric plastic tubes (CFFT). In this paper, a new type of FRP-concrete composite pile which is composed of reinforced concrete filled FRP tube (RCFFT) is proposed to improve compressive strength as well as flexural strength. The load carrying capacity of proposed RCFFT compression member is discussed based on the result of experimental and analytical investigations.

CFT(Concrete Filled Steel Tubular) Structure filled steel tubes with a concrete improves the stiffness and strength of the structure by the confinement effect of fillers. CFTA(Concrete Filled and Tied Steel Tubular Arch) girder is a new type structure that applies an arch structure and a pre-stressed structure to CFT Structure to maximize the efficiency of structure and economic. One of conspicuous characteristics of CFTA girder is exposed tendon and that is pointed out as the weak point of this girder. Therefore in this study, safety estimation for the exposed tendon is performed and dynamic analysis is also performed by the collision numerical simulation. For analyzing this model, ABAQUS 6.5-1 was used.

An engineered cementitious composite produced with slag particles (Slag-ECC) had been developed based on micromechanical principle. Base grain ingredients were properly selected, and then the mixture proportion was optimized to be capable of achieving robust tensile ductility in the hardened state. The rheological design is performed in the present study by optimizing the amount of admixtures suitable for self-consolidating casting and shotcreting process in the fresh state. A special focus is placed on the rheological control which is directly applicable to the construction in field, using prepackaged product with all pulverized ingredients. To control the rheological properties of the composite, which possesses different fluid properties to facilitate two types of processing (i.e., self-consolidating and shotcreting processing), the viscosity change of the cement paste suspensions over time was initially investigated, and then the proper dosage of the admixtures in the cement paste was selected. The two types of mixture proportion were then optimized by self-consolidating & shotcreting tests. A series of self-consolidating and shotcreting tests demonstrated excellent self-consolidation property and sprayability of the Slag-ECC. The rheological properties altered through this approach were revealed to be effective in obtaining Slag-ECC hardened properties, represented by pseudo strain-hardening behavior in uniaxial tension, allowing the readily achievement of the desired function of the fresh Slag-ECC. These ductile composites with self-consolidating and shotcreting processing can be broadly utilized for a variety of applications, e.g., in strengthening seismic resistant structures with congested reinforcements, or in repairing deteriorated infrastructures by shotcreting process.

Recently, it increases in use of CFT(Concrete filled steel tube, below CFT) that is an excellent internal force and deformation capacity because material and method are required to be diversification and High-Performance according to increase the super-high structure. And it is proposed to use high-strength Concrete Filled steel Tube Column. But it is difficult quantitative evaluation about fire-resist performance of CFT because steel tube bind concrete. Also, the case of high strength CFT is feared that spalling occur inside. Therefore, this study made CFT specimen that determine the factor(which is strength of concrete) and then CFT column was exposed to heating controlled as closely as possible the ISO-834 standard fire curve. Also, it tried to analyze internal temperature through nonlinear transient heat flow analysis.

Various concrete material technologies and new materials have been developed in accordance with the advancement of buildings. As part of these new technologies, light transparent concrete, which was invented by Hungarian architect Aron Losonczi and attracted worldwide attention, has a technique of arranging optical fiber inside concrete and transmitting the light from exterior to concrete to show silhouette inside. However, due to many disadvantages, application to the field was limited and commercialization was not easy. In Korea, Light Emotion Friendly Concrete has been developed for commercialization. In order to solve the degradation of construction performance caused by the arrangement of expensive optical fiber, which is pointed out as a disadvantage of translucent concrete, It converts expensive fiber into low cost acrylic rod, easy to arrange, pre-assembled to form and post-cast. Therefore, this study aims to improve the mechanical properties of LEFC and to derive optimal combination.

The goal of this paper is to understand the stress-transfer mechanism of concrete-filled tubular column to H-beam connections with external T-stiffener through the finite element method and to offer basic data for the design of T-stiffener. To identify the problems of previous test results, the same shapes of the full-scale test specimens were modeled for the finite element analysis. Results of the analysis were compared with the test results. Several stress and strain indices were used to understand the stress-transfer mechanism of connection with various T-stiffeners parameters. The models of analysis with different T-stiffener are grouped into TS, TSD, and TSH series. An alternative plan that decreases the stress concentration of beam flange to horizontal stiffener connection is proposed through the elasto-plastic finite element method. The basic design idea and minimum sizes of T-stiffener were proposed based on the various indices in relation to the connection details.
