To predict the time-dependent behavior of concrete structures, the models which describe the time-dependent characteristics of concrete, i.e. creep and shrinkage are required. However, there must be significant differences between the displacements that are obtained using the given creep and shrinkage models and the measured displacements, because of the uncertainties of creep and shrinkage model itself and those of environmental condition. There are some efforts to reduce these error or uncertainties by using the model which are obtained from creep test for the concrete in construction site. Nevertheless, the predicted values from this model may be still different from the actual values due to the same reason. This study aimed to propose a method of estimating the creep coefficient from the measured displacements of concrete structure, where creep model uncertainty factor was considered as an error factor of creep model. Numerical validation for double composite steel box and concrete beam showed desirable feasibility of the presented method. Consideration of the time-dependent characteristics of creep as one of the error factors make it possible to predict long-term behaviors of concrete structures more realistically, especially long-span PSC girder bridges and concrete cable-stayed bridges of which major problem is the geometry control under construction and maintenance.

In this study, a Taylor series (T-S) model based on the Arrhenius, McVetty, and Monkman-Grant equations was developed using a mathematical analysis. In order to reduce fitting errors, the McVetty equation was transformed by considering the first three terms of the Taylor series equation. The model parameters were accurately determined by a statistical technique of maximum likelihood estimation, and this model was applied to the creep data of alloy 617. The T-S model results showed better agreement with the experimental data than other models such as the Eno, exponential, and L-M models. In particular, the T-S model was converted into an isothermal Taylor series (IT-S) model that can predict the creep strength at a given temperature. It was identified that the estimations obtained using the converted ITS model was better than that obtained using the T-S model for predicting the long-term creep life of alloy 617.

지금까지 국내에서는 콘크리트의 크리프에 관한 실험적 연구가 많이 진행되지 못하여 해당 구조물의 설계기술 도입국의 규준에 따라 크리프를 예측해왔다. 그러나 예측된 크리프 모델이 국내 콘크리트 재료의 특성에 적합한지에 대한 실험적 검증은 제대로 이루어지지 않고 있는 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 국내에서 프리스트레스 콘크리트 구조물에 적용하는 실용 고강도 콘크리트의 크리프 값을 예측하기 위해 동일한 설계기준강도를 갖는 세 가지 배합에 대하여 재령별로 크리프 시험을 수행하고 이 실험결과를 ACI, CEB/FIB, KSCE, JSCE규준들의 크리프 예측식과 비교 분석하였다.시험결과와 이들규준들에 대한 비교분석에 의하면 CEB/FIB-90 크리프 예측식은 비교적 과대 평가되고 ACI 209-92와 JSCE-96의 경우는 과소 평가되었으나 콘크리트 표준시방서 KSCE -96 크리프 예측식은 비교적 시험결과에 근접하는 것으로 평가되었다. 그러나 구성재료의 양적 변동에 '따른 배합별 시험결과의 차이를 반영할 수 있는 점이 보완되어야 할 것으로 보며 향후 많은 실험결과를 바탕으로 국내에서 생산되는 콘크리트에 대하여 보다 정확히 크리프를 예측할 수 있는 연구가 필요하다.

In this study, a time-dependent constitutive model was developed for cohesive soils. A damage law was included in the model, using which the undrained creep behavior was predicted. The mathematical and physical derivation of the model was performed in the sense of adopting only few model parameters. The model prediction was well agreed with the experimental result of creep testing including creep rupture.

External bonding of carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) sheets has been widely accepted as a popular method for strengthening of deteriorated RC structures. The long-term behavior of CFRP-strengthened RC structure is often affected by that of the interface between CFRP sheets and concrete. This study aims at applying a viscoelastic model to describe the creep behaviour of the adhesive layer bonding CFRP sheet to concrete, the CFRP-concrete interface. Reviews of available models on concrete creep behavior have been first carried out and then new FE analysis model is proposed. The proposed FE analysis model based on the maxwell model has been verified by previous experimental results. It is shown that the creep effect of interfacial adhesive layer is very important on the long-term behavior of concrete structures strengthened with CFRP.

To obtain realistic stress-strain relation in concrete, it is necessary to improve the constitutive model for creep and shrinkage of concrete. This study is made up with predicting model of creep using rheological approach and mathematical development which is solution for phenomenon of concrete creep. Long-term deformation components are combined based on traditional 4-parameters model. Creep deformation is obtained adequately using 4-parameters determined by considering aging effect and microprestress among gels. And coefficient of effective viscosity is able to represent both basic creep and total creep included drying creep. This study attempt to establish mathematical model considering effects of aging, hydration, and variations of pore humidity. It can predict both basic creep and total creep. Values of result between prediction and experiment have greater than correlation factor 99%. Additionally experimental results report bad consentaneity with highway design specification adopting FIB MC 90. Rather than those are similar to FIB MC 90 rev.99.

Many countries are interested in the development of the Antarctic area because of the abundant resources and living things of high research value. Korea completed the second Antarctic research station in 2014 and spurring the development of the Antarctic area by constructing runway for the airplanes and a third Antarctic research station. However, frozen soils, unlike typical soils, are sensitive to creep behavior due to the influence of ice and unfrozen water. The creep tests for evaluating creep behaviors on the frozen soils require expensive laboratory equipments and large amount of time. Thus, various empirical models had been developed to describe the unconfined compressive creep behavior of frozen soils. In this study, new analytical creep model on frozen sands was proposed by modifying Ting's Tertiary creep model with a new parameter considering fine contents. Thus, the unconfined compressive creep tests were conducted with the frozen specimens of dense Jumoonjin sand with fine contents of 0, 5, 10 and 15% under various loads at -$5^{\circ}C$, -$10^{\circ}C$ and -$15^{\circ}C$. Consequently, the modified Tertiary creep model with a new parameter for fine contents are not enough for the description of the acutal creep behavior of the frozen sand and new framework should be developed.

The present work is aimed to analyze the creep characteristics of a turbojet engine turbine blade using the theta projection method. The theta projection method has been widely used due to its advantages and flexibility. For the creep characteristic analysis of the turbine blade, tests are performed considering the operating conditions and the non-linear material properties. Results from the creep test are fitted using the four theta model. The predicted proprieties using the four theta model are compared with the prediction model and creep test results. To obtain an optimum value of the four theta parameters in non-linear square method, a number of computing processes in the non-linear least square method were carried out to obtain full creep curves. Results using the theta model has more than 0.95 value of $R^2$. The results between the experimental values and predicted four theta model has about 90.0% accuracy. The theta projection method can be utilized for a design purpose to predict the creep behavior.

The construction of super tall building which structure is RC and must be certainly considered on column shortening estimation and construction reflected concrete creep has been increased. Regarding the Fck 60~80MPa grade high strength concrete applied in the domestic super tall building project, the mechanical properties and creep deflection according to curing conditions(Drying creep/Basic creep) were reviewed in this research. Results of compressive strength and elastic modulus under sealed curing condition were 5% higher than unsealed condition and difference of results according to the curing condition was increased over time. Autogenous and drying shrinkage tendency showed adversely in the case of high strength concrete. Additionally, creep modulus under unseal curing condition was evaluated 2~3 times higher than sealed condition. Modified model of ACI-209 based on test result was applied to estimate long period shortening of vertical members(such as Core Wall/Mega Column) exactly, it is designed to modify and suggest the optimal creep model based on various data accumulated during construction, in the future.

이 논문은 시공단계를 고려한 콘크리트 프레임 구조물의 거동 해석을 다루고 있다. 고층건물의 경우 하루에 시공이 완료되지 않으므로 각 시공단계에 따라 콘크리트의 시간의존적 현상은 다르게 발생된다. 이를 위하여 이 논문에서는 일반적인 프레임 해석기법에 콘크리트의 시간의존적 특성을 고려하였다. 이 연구에 도입된 해석기법은 단면을 가상의 층으로 나누고 각층은 일축상태로 가정한 적층단면을 사용하였다. 요소는 평면 보요소를 사용하였으며 강성행렬은 변위법을 바탕으로 유도하였고 전체적인 구조해석은 비선형 구조해석 방법의 하나인 복합법을 사용하였다. 콘크리트의 시간의존적 특성을 고려하기 위하여 단면의 각 층에서 크리프와 건조수축에 의한 변형률을 계산하였으며 크리프는 크리프 Compliance의 전개에 기본을 둔 1차 순환적 단계 알고리즘을 사용하였다. 끝으로 이 연구에서 제안된 해석모델을 이용하여 프레임해석 및 기둥축소에 관한 예제를 해석하였다.
