An experimental study was performed to investigate the earthquake resistance of the beam-column connections as a part of a precast concrete moment-resisting frame that uses precast concrete U-shaped shells for the beams. Five full-scale precast concrete specimens and one conventional monolithic concrete specimen were tested under cyclic loading. The parameters for this test were the reinforcement ratio, stirrup spacing, and end-strengthening details of the precast beam shell. The test results showed that regardless of the test parameters, the precast concrete beam-column connections showed good load-carrying capacity and deformation capacity, which were comparable to those of conventional monolithic concrete specimen. However, at large deformations, the beam-column connections of the precast concrete specimens were subjected to severe strength degradation due to diagonal shear cracks and the bond-slip of re-bars at the joint region. For this reason, the energy dissipation capacity and stiffness of the precast concrete specimens were significantly less than those of the cast-in-place specimen.

UHPC which was a structural material exhibiting very remarkable mechanical performances with compressive strength, tensile strength and flexural strength rising up to 200MPa, 15MPa and 35MPa, respectively. In addition, this material presents exceptional durability regard to the very low diffusion and penetration speeds of noxious substances like chloride ions This study was carry out to evaluate the effect of flexural behavior according to placement method in UHPC. The results is showing that the placement methods have remarkable influence flexural strength Addition to it is showing that the placement methods made little difference in the first cracking strength but considerable gap up to 2 or 3 times in the ultimate flexural strength.

Full scale construction tests of CFT(concrete filled steel tube) column to solve construction problem and to confirm quality were performed in apartment site. To improve construction efficiency, the tests has been accomplished two stages after the tests for material mixing design had been completed. In the first stage, the experimental variables were the placing methods, existence of guiding pipe, placing velocity and drop height and the height of specimen were $3.6{\cal}m$. In the second stage, Filling steel tube of 9.6m height with concrete was performed by two ways, that is, the pump-up method and the dropping method. The filled condition of the concrete and concrete strength distribution according to the column height were checked and the quality of the CFT column was confirmed.

The compressive strength of concrete is used as the most basic and important material Property when reinforced concrete structures are designed. It has become a problem to use this value, however, because the control specimen sizes and shapes are different from every country. In this study, the effect of specimen sizes and shapes on compressive strength of concrete specimens was experimentally investigated based on fracture mechanics. Experiments for the Mode I failure was carried out by using cylinder, cube, and prism specimens. The test results are curve fitted using least square method(LSM) to obtain the new parameters for the modified size effect law(MSEL). The analysis results show that the effect of specimen sizes and shapes on ultimate strength is apparent. In addition, correlations between compressive strengths with size, shape, and casting direction of the specimen are investigated. For cubes and prisms the effect of placing direction on the compressive strength was investigated.

Several techniques, including transmission X-ray photography and AC-impedance spectroscopy, are available for evaluating the fiber dispersion in a fiber reinforced concrete Evaluating the fiber dispersion in fiber reinfored concrete needs since the fibers bridge crackseffectively. However, these equipment is very expensive. Therefore this paper presents the quantitative evaluation method based on the image analysis of sectional image taken using an ordinary digital camera. After detecting the fiber accurately, the fiber dispersion characteristics are represented by the coefficient such as the fiber dispersion coefficient, the number of fibers in unit area, and the distribution of the fiber orientation. Test were performed to evaluate the effectiveness of proposed method and the dispersion characteristics of fibers according placing method and flow direction. Additionally, the effect of fiber dispersion characteristics on mechanical properties was investigated. Test results shows that fiber aligned along the flow direction and more fibers placed and dispersion was better on the section parallel to the flow direction. And about 50% difference in the flexural tensile strength according to the placing method occured.

The present paper represents experimental studies on the performance of concrete filled FRP columns. Eight scale-down specimens were conducted by quasi-static cyclic loading test. FRP thickness, concrete strength, horizontal rebar ratio, and diameter were selected as test parameters. The capacities of ductility for cyclic loading was evaluated and the damping ratio and failure mode from the stiffness reduction of each test specimen were compared.

Predicting distribution and variation of humidity inside concrete is essential to improve curing quality of concrete at field. The concrete humidity is predicted by numerical analysis using surface humidity as boundary condition. However, ambient humidity has been used instead of the surface humidity because the surface humidity could not be ccurately measured. Because it is hard to accurately measure the surface humidity, owever, the ambient humidity has been used instead of the surface humidity in the numerical analysis. In this paper, a methodology to accurately measure the surface humidity is suggested, and the ambient humidity and the humidity at the surface and inside the concrete measured by a series of laboratory tests are presented. The cause of low concrete humidity immediately after placement was investigated by a separately performed test. A surface humidity prediction model was developed using the measured humidity, and consequently validated through an additional test.
