본 논문에서는 스트럿-타이 모델을 이용한 콘크리트 구조물의 설계 및 해석과정에서 필요로 하는 스트럿 유효강도의 결정 및 절점영역 지지력의 검토를 일반적이고 일관성 있게 수행할 수 있는 방법을 제안하였다. 콘크리트 스트럿의 유효강도는 스트럿-타이 모델의 스트럿 영역에 해당되는 유한요소들의 주응력비를 고려하여 결정하였으며, 스트럿의 기하하적인 형상을 이용하여 형성된 절점영역의 지지력은 조합응력을 받는 콘크리트의 파괴기준을 고려하는 비선형 유한요소 해석을 이용하여 검토하였다. 제안한 방법을 예증하기 위해 실험된 철근콘크리트 보의 해석을 스트럿-타이 모델 방법을 이용하여 실시하였다.

The concrete lining of a tunnel constructed by NATM used to be regarded as facing material which does not support any load from the surrounding ground. But the recent appraisal of the decrepit tunnels revealed that rockbolts and shotcrete deteriorate with time resulting in loss of supporting capability. Consequently, concrete lining has to support part of the load which used to be supported by rockbolts and shotcrete, and thus should be regarded as the final supporting structure in a tunnel. One of the common, and perhaps the most serious problem in concrete lining is the longitudinal cracks taking place at the tunnel crown. The longitudinal cracks, mostly related to the construction procedures, can be developed by many reasons such as the lack of thickness, wrong materials, bad curing environment, and excessive external forces. Many efforts has been made to control and suppress these cracks but efficient and economic way is yet to be found. For efficient crack control in concrete lining, reinforcement by composite fibers, which is the mixture of steel fiber and nylon fiber, is suggested in this study.

Concrete has higher vapor pressure than its surrounding ambient air immediately after placement. Moisture at concrete surface evaporates to the ambient air to adjust equilibrium of the vapor pressure between them. The moisture inside the concrete moves to the surface because the evaporation at the surface causes gradient of vapor pressure inside the concrete. Plastic cracking, degree of hydration, strength development, and others caused by velocity of the moisture movement significantly influences quality of concrete. In this paper, the moisture diffusivity of early-age concrete was back-calculated using governing equation of the moisture diffusion, and temperature and relative humidity of concrete measured in a laboratory. The moisture diffusivity of the concrete was modeled using the back-calculated moisture diffusivity. The relative humidity of the concrete calculated by finite element method (FEM) using the modeled moisture diffusivity as Input data coincided with the measured relative humidity well.

Because designers want to express various elevation, architectural concrete has recently paid attention to finish material and has increasingly used in the construction. architectural concrete needs more careful and professional supervision works such as controling quality of color, texture, construction plan, and design plan. none the less, It is not clear to define process and manage methods for the construction life-cycle, which causes the expense to increase and the quality to be poor. this study will analyze concrete finish method by dividing three parts which are common, exposed and architectural concrete finish method. definition and the limit of application in architectural concrete finish method will be present by comparing three methods. Throughout an interview with a staff in charge and a case study, this paper shows the requirement and the keynote of management which are divided by three steps; the design, construction and maintenance. finally, this research provides management methods of individual steps for effective construction.

The temperature patterns in Portland cement concrete (PCC) pavements were measured and comprehensively analyzed from the beginning of the concrete placement based on the temperature measurement technique developed using innovative and inexpensive temperature measurement sensors. The temperature measurements in PCC pavements were taken at several different locations forvarious slab thicknesses. The concrete temperature patterns in the vertical and longitudinal directions of the pavement were analyzed and the effects of the pavement surface reflectivity, shading, and covering on the concrete temperatures were evaluated. The results of this study showed that the significant differences in the maximum concrete temperatures on the placement day were observed according to the concrete placement time. Since the zero-stress temperature is a function of the maximum concrete temperature on the placement day, the placement time would be an important factor that affects the behavior and performance of concrete pavements. The surface conditions of the pavement, such as the surface color, shading, and covering also affected the temperature patterns in PCC pavements significantly.

The strength of concrete is affected significantly not only by the internal influence factors of cement, water, sand, aggregate, and admixture, but also by the external influence factors of concrete placement delay and curing temperature. The objective of this research was to predict the concrete strength considering both the internal and external influence factors when concrete is placed at the construction site. In this study, a concrete strength test was conducted on the 24 combinations of internal and external influence factors, and a neural network model was constructed using the test data. This neural network model can predict the concrete strength considering the external influence factors of the concrete placement delay and curing temperature when concrete is placed at the construction site. Contractors can use the concrete strength prediction neural network model to make concrete more robust to external influence factors during concrete placement at a construction site.

The rapid-set cement concrete causes high hydration temperature and nay result in a high drying shrinkage and shrinkage-induced cracking. This problem may be fixed by incorporating polypropylene fibers in rapid-set cement concrete, because of increased toughness, resistance to impact, corrosion, fatigue, and durability. A series of concrete drving shrinkage tests was peformed in order to investigate the shrinkage properties of polypropylene fiber reinforced concrete with experimental variables such as concrete types, fiber reinforcement, W/C ratio, with and without restraint. Uni-axially restrained bar specimens were used for the restrained shrinkage tests. The results were as follows; The dry shrinkage of rapid-set cement concrete was much lessor than that oi OPC, probably because of smaller weight reduction rate by early hydration and strength development. The constraint and bridging effects caused by polypropylene fibers were great for the rapid-setting cement concrete when compared with that of plain concrete, and this resulted In increased resistance against tensile stress and cracking.
