Since the concrete covers most structures in modern architecture and it is composed of aggregates of about 75%, the appropriate selection of aggregates is valuable for the durability of concrete. A major cause of the expansion of mortar-bar measured by ASTM C 227-90 has been accounted by the alkali-aggregate reaction. This study carried out designed experiments on some aggregates including basalt and sandstone, to classify the expansion factors into the alkali-aggregate reaction, the increase of the gel pore volume, and the interstitial water that could expand physically the cracks or foliation developed in aggregates itself. The quantitative analyses of expansion by each factor indicated that the interstitial water and/or the alkali-aggregate reaction had major roles in the concrete expansion. Thus, if the supplied aggregates have deteriorated the structural framework, it is important to investigate the exact causes through this suggested method.

자유표면 유동을 수반하여 복잡한 구조를 지나는 유동문제를 수치모사할 수 있는 삼차원 유한요소법코드를 개발하였다. 정사각관을 대상으로 하는 삼차원 압출팽창 문제를 등온 뉴톤 유동뿐만아니라 비뉴톤유동 및 비등온 유동문제의 경우까지 다룰수 있도록 확장 하여 수치모사하였다. 삼차원 유한요소법 알고리듬에 pathline approach 방법과 사상방법을 적용시켜 등온 뉴톤 유체의 미동흐름에 대하여 압출 팽창문제를 푼 결과 팽창비가 대칭면에 서 최대 21.0%관의 모서리 부분에서 최소 4.1%로 나타났다 전단박화현상이 있는 비뉴톤 유 동의 경우 뉴톤유동에 비해 팽창이 작게 일어났고 비등온 유동의 경우 관벽온도가 낮은 쪽 이 높은 쪽에 비해 팽창이 크게 일어남을 알수 있었다.

This paper is focused on the determination of friction parameter which is a predominant factor in the design of inflatable structure system. This inflatable structure system is very valuably used to protect passively and rapidly the possibilities of tunnel damages by flooding threats and unusual leakage to be occurred during and after underground infrastructure construction. In particular, this system should be necessary in subsea tunnel. This study presents the experimental results obtained from the relative friction characteristics tests of the fabric materials that constitute the inflatable structure. In order to evaluate the relative friction behaviour of the inflatable structure system, friction tests and scaled model tunnel friction tests are carried out. The friction tests are carried out to determine the friction coefficient for different surface conditions between tunnel and inflatable structure. These friction coefficients are then evaluated and compared with the result obtained from the model tunnel friction tests. Interaction behaviours between tunnel and system are also reviewed and described in this study. The results clearly show that the friction coefficients derived from scaled model slippage tests are about 12% lower than values obtained from the friction tests. In addition, this study will be necessary to verify the real friction behaviour with prototype tests before applying in practice.

This study is devoted to the problems of thermal and autogenous expansion stresses in order to avoid cracking using chemically prestressing method. The chemical prestress can be induced by autogenous expansion characteristics of MgO concrete made in specific burning temperature. The volume change induced cracking has great influence on the long-term durability and serviceability. To evaluate risk of cracking, the computer programs for analysis of thermal and autogenous expansion stresses were developed. In these 3-D finite element procedures, long-term autogenous expansive deformation is modeled and its resultant stress is calculated and then verified by comparison with manual calculation results. In this study, the stress development is related to thermal and autogenous expansive deformation. Using the developed program, residual stresses of MgO concrete were compared and analysed in the example From the numerical results it is found that long-term, and temperature dependent expansive concrete with light-burnt MgO is most effective in controlling the risk of cracking of mass concrete because it has high temperature for long period. The developed analysis program can be efficiently utilized as a useful tool to evaluate the thermal and autogenous expansion stresses in mass concrete structures with lightly burnt MgO.

This paper reports on a comprehensive study on the mechanical properties of expansive fiber-reinforced strainhardening cement composite (SHCC) materials containing various replacement levels (0, 8, 10, 12 and 14%) of an expansive admixture and 1.5% polyethylene (PE) fibers volume fraction. A number of experimental tests were conducted to investigate shrinkage, compressive strength, flexural strength, and direct tension behavior. Test results show that as expected, the different replacement levels of an expansive admixture have an important effect on the evolution of the free shrinkage of SHCC with a rich mixture. At the volume fraction of 1.5%, PE fibers in normal SHCC reduce free shrinkage deformation by about 30% in comparison to plain mortar. The replacement of an expansive admixture in SHCC material has led the SHCC to a better initial cracking behavior. Enhanced cracking tendency improved mechanical properties of SHCC materials with rich mixtures. Note that an increase in the replacement of expansive admixture from 10% to 14% does not lead to a significant improvement for mechanical properties; this implies that the replacement of 10% expansive admixture is sufficient.

초음속 과소 팽창 제트가 경사진 평판에 충돌을 하게 되면 평판의 표면과 노즐출구에서 팽창된 자유제트(Free jet)와의 상호 간섭으로 인해 매우 복잡한 유동 구조가 형성된다. 예를 들면, 수직평판에서 발생되는 판 충격파(Plate shock)는 경사평판에서는 Upper plate shock, Lower plate shock, Intermediate plate shock과 같이 여러 형태로 발생되어 평판에서의 압력분포에 있어 수직일 경우와 다소 다른 경향을 보여준다. 본 연구의 주요 목적은 평판의 경사각을 변화시킬 때 평판 표면에서의 복잡한 유동 현상을 이해하는데 있다.

Auxetic structures with negative Poisson's ratio can be used to achieve high mechanical properties in energy absorption and destruction toughness. In this paper, we aim to design an auxetic structure which has a high negative Poisson's ratio and a stiffness over 50N/mm by using an optimization method. Length(L), thickness(t) and angle(${\theta}_1$, ${\theta}_2$) of an auxetic pyramid are the design parameters, and also stress, Poisson's ratio and stiffness are thr reaction factors. We used Box-Behnken method and conducted 4 factors - 3 levels experiment design. Finite element models are analyzed by using Edison program CSD_EPLAST.

This study focused on shielding through inflatable structure in the event of sudden water inflow into the submerged floating tunnels. Currently, there is a lack of measures to deal with unexpected water in tunnels in Korea. Although water treatment facilities such as waterproofing and floodgates in tunnels are installed, there are limitations to the sudden inflow of large amounts of seawater or underground water. Also, floodgates cannot respond quickly to sudden damage due to slow blocking time. Accordingly, a study was conducted on the shielding rate and axial movement distance for inflatable structure. The results of the reduced model experiment confirmed that the number of inflatable structure and internal pneumatic pressure influence on the shielding rate. As the number of inflatable structure increased from one to two, the shielding rate increased by about 35 up to 40 percent. It was also confirmed that the shielding rate increased by about 4 percent as the internal pneumatic pressure increased from 0.2 bar to 0.3 bar. If we verify and further develop the results identified in this study through a real-size experiment, it will be able to be used as an effective waterproof measure for sudden water inflow into the undersea tunnels or underwater tunnels.
