According to the analysis of tension failure mechanism of UHSC specimen, one modified model based on ACK model by the introduction of partial debonding energy of non-first cracks and by the application of steel fiber number on unit area is presented in this paper. It can be used to explain the evolution mechanism of multiple cracking and pseudo strain hardening of UHSC. From the numerical results, to increase steel fiber length and to reduce steel fiber diameter in some region all can reduce the fiber volume fraction with the same multiple cracks for economic design of UHSC.

일반적으로 동일한 배합에서 콘크리트의 강도를 증진시키는 방법중에서 혼화재를 넣는 방법이 일반적이다. 이는 첨가된 혼화재의 양만큼 생산비용이 증가하며, 본 실험에서 콘크리트 강도를 증진시키기 위해 사용한 자화수는 자석을 통과시켜 만든 물이며 제작방법 이 매우 간편하고 자석이라는 비소모성 및 무동력의 장치를 사용하여, 또한 화학물질을 사 용하지 않고 얻을 수 있다. 이때의 자화수는 외관상으로는 보통물과 아무런 차이가 없으며 무색무취이다. 즉 강력한 자장속에 보통 물을 통과시켜서 이온화된 자화수를 얻을 수 있을 것이다. 실례로 러시아 "샤프스쿠스크" 철근 콘크리트 제품공장에서는 자화수를 사용해서 매년 약 15%의 시멘트절약에 성공하고 있고, 모스크바의 철근콘크리트연구소에서 자주 자 화수의 전문회의가 열리며, 매번 좋은 결과를 서로 보고하고 있다고 한다. 본 실험에서는 자 화수에 의한 강도증진효과를 보기 위해서 동일배합에서 보통물과 자화수를 배합수로 하여 각각의 콘크리트 공시체를 제작해 압축강도를 비교하였다. 그 결과 보통물을 사용해 제작한 공시체 보다 4~13% 가량 강도증진효과를 보았다. 따라서 다른 혼화재를 사용하지 않고 오 직 자화수를 배합수로 하여 제작된 콘크리트 강도를 높임으로써, 동일한 배합강도를 얻기 위해서 보통물을 배합수로 제작된 콘크리트에 비해 시멘트 사용량을 줄일 수 있어 이에 따 른 경제적 효과를 얻을 수 있다고 본다. 이에 따라 본 연구는 여러 가지변수에 따라 자화수 가 콘크리트 강도증진에 어떠한 영향을 주는지를 알아보았다.는지를 알아보았다.

This paper deals with the three-dimensional finite element analysis of failure behavior of UHPFRC I-beam under monotonic load. Different from the constitutive law of normal and high strength concrete, an elastic-plastic fracture model that considers the tensile strain hardening is proposed to describe the material properties of UHPFRC. A multi-directional fixed crack criterion with tensile strain hardening is defined in the tensile region, and Drucker-Prager criterion with an associated flow rule is adopted in the compressive region. The influence of span, prestressing force and section on the behavior of UHPFRC I-beam are investigated. The comparison of the numerical results with the test results indicates a good agreement.

The objective of this paper is to investigate and analyze the behaviour of prestressed I section structural members constructed with ultra high perfomance steel fiber reinforced cementitious concrete (SFR-UHPC). This material is known as reactive powder concrete (RPC) mixed with domestic materials and its compressive strength is over 150MP. The parameters of test specimens were span to depth ratio, prestressing force, prestressing wire placement and web width. Most influential parameter to determine the failure mode between shear and flexural action was proved to be shear span ratio. The characteristics of ultra high-strength concrete is basically brittle, but due to the steel fiber reinforcement behaviour of this structure member became ductile after the peak load. As a result of the test, the stress block of compressive zone should be redefined. The proposed analytical calculation of internal force capacity based by plastic analysis gave a good prediction for the shear and flexural strength of specimens. The numerical verification of the finite element model which constitutive law developed for Mode I fracture of fiber reinforced concrete correctly captured the overall behaviour of the specimens tested.

Generally the ultra-high strength steel reinforced concrete has rich mix composition composed of high-strength type mineral admixtures and as a result of very low water-binder ratio(about under w/b=25%), it reveals ultra-high compressive strength(about over 100Mpa). Also, in order to obtain sufficient toughness after construction, we usually mix a large quantity steel fiber with ultra-high strength steel reinforced concrete therefore we must use proper mixer for workability. When we make the ultra-high strength steel reinforced concrete we need more long mixing time or much super-plasticizer than when we manufacture normal concrete. These bring about economical problems and performance deterioration. Therefore, in this study, in order to manufacture easily ultra-high strength steel reinforced concrete we develope a dedicated mixer for ultra-high strength steel reinforced concrete with high speed type. It carried out the examination for comparison between the dedicated and general type mixer, the analysis and counterplan of the point at issue when we manufacture ultra-high strength steel reinforced concrete by the dedicated mixer.

경량골재 콘크리트의 내구성과 경제성에 대한 인식 부족으로 조경재료나 인공토양 둥 구조부재 이외의 분야에 사용되고 있는 국내 실정에 비해서, 구미 여러나라에서는 고강도 경량골재를 장지간 교량과 고충건물에 사용하고 있다. 경량골재 콘크리트는 구조물의 재료비 단순비교에 있어서도 경제성이 있을 뿐만 아니라, 자중감소로 인한 구조적, 기하학적 장점도 있으며, 또한 고강도 경량골재의 개발로 경량골재가 가지고 있는 여러 문제점을 해소하여 사용성과 내구성에 있어서 보통골재 콘크리트와 큰 차이가 없는 상황이다. 그러나국내에서 생산된 경량골재는 닫힌 공극보다 열린 공극을 많이 내포하고 있어 수분흡수가 많고, 특히, 동결융해에 대한 내구성에 취약한 문제점을 가지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 내동해성 향상을 위해 10종류의 고강도 경량골재 콘크리트 공시체를 제작하여 실리카 흄, 물.시멘트비, AE제, 강섬유 등을 실험 변수로 하여동결융해 실험을 수행하였다. 연구결과 실리카흄, 물.시멘트 비는 어느 정도 내동해성을 향상시키지만 근본적인 해결방안이 되지 못하며, AE제를 첨가한 공시체와 강섬유를 사용한 공시체는 동결융해 내구성 지수가 90%이상으로 측정되어 내동해성을 개선시킬 수 있는 요소로 나타났다.

This study is to investigate the ultimate shear load of prestressed girder made of Ultra High Performance Fiber Reinforced Concrete (UHPFRC). Nine girders were tested until failure in shear. An analytical model to predict the ultimate shear load was formulated based on the Two Bounds Theory. A fiber reinforcing model was constituted based on the random assumption of steel fiber uniform distribution. The predicted values were compared with the conventional predictions and the test results. The proposed equations for computing the ultimate shear strength can be used for the ultimate failure status analysis, which could also be utilized for numerical limit analysis of prestressed UHPFRC girder. The established fiber reinforcing theoretical model can also be a reference for micro-mechanics analysis of UHPFRC.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of using method and replacement ratio of limestone powder and water-cement ratio on the compressive strength and the resistance to sulfate attack of mortar incorporating limestone powder as fundamental study to use limestone powder as an addition for concrete. As a results, The method using limestone powder as a part of cement showed decrease of the compressive strength of mortar. The strength of mortar incorporating limestone powder almost decided upon unit cement content.

The flexural behavior test of UHPC segmental box girder which has 160 MPa compressive strength and 15.4 m length was carried out. The effect of steel fibers in combination with reinforcing bars on improving the ductile performance of UHPC box girder was evaluated by comparing the flexural behavior of the UHPC segmental box girders made by the two kinds of mixing portion. The test variables are volume fraction of steel fibers and the arrangement of reinforcing bars. The behavior of UHPC box girder BF2 composed of 1% volume fraction of steel fibers and longitudinal reinforcing bars in web and upper flange with stirrup showed the similar ductile behavior with the girder BF1 composed of 2% volume fraction without stirrup in elastic stress region. But BF1 had the better stiffness and showed the more ductile behavior in inelastic stress region. Segmental interfaces of UHPC box girder have not any crack and slide until the final flexural collapse load.
