In this thesis, fracture tests were carried out in order to investigate the flexural strength behavior of FRC(fiber reinforced concrete) structures. FRC beams were used in the tests, the initial crack load and the ultimate load of the beams were observed under the static loading. According to the results, the ultimate loads increase with the fiber content, and these tendency is clear in the specimens with large fiber aspect ratio. From the results of the regression analysis, practical formulae for predicting the flexural strength of FRC were suggested.

The primary objective of the study was to find the deformation characteristics of reinforced polymer concrete beams. A test program was carried out to compare the behavior in deformation of polyester and MMA concrete beams with cement concrete beams but with varying ratios of tensile reinforcement. From the results the following conclusions can be made. 1.The various strengths of polymer concrete ware very high compared to the strengths for cement concrete. Also, compared to conventional concrete beams, flexural strength of reinforced polymer concrete beams was distinctly higher for the same section and steel ratios. 2.The polymer concrete beams exhibit large deflections accompanied by relatively high strengths as compared to cement concrete beams. 3.The average ultimate strain at the extreme compression fiber of polymer concrete beams was 0.01 1 cm / cm, and this value was about three to four times as large as that of cement concrete beams, 4.The polymer concrete beams developed more cracks which were more wide crack distribution spacing than the cement concrete beams, and the beams failed in a more ductile manner. 5.The reinforcing steel ratio has a significant effect on the beam strength, load-deflection response, stress-strain curve, and crack pattern of polymer concrete beams.

The early -age behavior of base restrained reinforced concrete (RC) walls is analyzed using a three-dimensional finite element method in this study. After calculating the temperature and internal relative humidity variations of an RC wall, determination of stresses due to thermal gradients, differential drying shrinkage, and average drying shrinkage is followed, and the relative contribution of these three stress components to the total stress is compared. The mechanical properties of early-age concrete, determined from many experimental studies, are taken into consideration, and a discrete reinforcing steel derived using the equivalent nodal force concept is also used to simulate the cracking behavior of RC walls. In advance, to Predict the crack spacing and maximum crack width in a base restrained RC wall, an analytical model which can simulate the post-cracking behavior of an RC tension member is introduced on the basis of the energy equilibrium before and after cracking of concrete.

A fracture energy concept proposed by Ouyang and Shah's fracture mechanics approach was used to predict cracking of reinforced concrete members subjected to tension. In this approach, fracture properties in plain concrete which incorporate the presence of the fracture process zone are first determined from the generalized size effect method, then fracture energy required for crack propagation with the same dimension and material properties are evaluated using an R-curve. Subsequently taking into account the material properties in Ouyang and Shah's approach, a theoretical analysis to predict the mechanical behavior of reinforced concrete members subjected to tension was performed and compared to observed experimental results. It is seen that the predicted average crack spacing curves agree well with the experimental results, whereas the analytical method seems to predict lower values for this study. The analytical approach predicts well responses of stress-strain curves before and after the first crack is formed. It is concluded from this study that a fracture energy concept based on the R-curve and the generalized size effect method is a rational approach to predict cracking of reinforced concrete members subjected to tension.

본 연구에서는 양생조건이 다른 압축강도 90 MPa 수준의 고강도 콘크리트 부재의 휨거동 실험을 수행하였다. 실험변수는 정상 및 저온 양생 조건, 인장 철근량 및 콘크리트 압축강도 수준 등을 고려하였다. 8개의 보 부재를 제작하여 휨 실험을 수행하였으며 균열 간격, 하중-처짐 관계, 하중-변형률 관계 및 연성지수를 파악하였다. 실험결과는 철근량이 증가함에 따라 균열 개수는 증가하고 균열간격은 감소하는 경향을 나타내며, 콘크리트 강도가 높을수록 균열개수가 줄어들기는 하지만 그 효과는 철근량보다는 상당히 작은 것을 알 수 있었다. 설계기준에서 제안된 평균 균열 간격 식과 비교한 결과, 실험결과가 제안식의 결과보다 약간 크게 나타났으나, 제안식은 콘크리트 강도 및 양생조건을 반영하지 못하는 문제점이 있다. 정상 양생된 부재들의 연성지수는 3.36~6.74이며, 저온 양생된 부재들의 연성지수는 1.51~2.82으로 나타나, 저온 양생된 부재들의 거동은 정상 양생된 부재들에 비해서 연성도지수가 저감됨을 확인하였으며, 본 연구와 기존 연구의 연성지수를 비교한 결과, 고강도 콘크리트 부재의 연성지수는 선행연구의 보통강도 콘크리트의 연성지수 보다 크게 나타났으나, 더 구체적인 결과를 파악하기 위해서는 추가연구가 필요하다고 판단된다.

This study simulates the flexural behavior of ultra-high-performance fiber-reinforced concrete (UHPFRC) beams reinforced with steel and glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) rebars. For this, micromechanics-based modeling was first carried out on the basis of single fiber pullout models considering inclination angle. Two different tension-softening curves (TSCs) with the assumptions of 2-dimensional (2-D) and 3-dimensional (3-D) random fiber orientations were obtained from the micromechanics-based modeling, and linear elastic compressive and tensile models before the occurrence of cracks were obtained from the mechanical tests and rule of mixture. Finite element analysis incorporating smeared crack model was used due to the multiple cracking behaviors of structural UHPFRC beams, and the characteristic length of two times the element width (or two times the average crack spacing at the peak load) was suggested as a result of parametric study. Analytical results showed that the assumption of 2-D random fiber orientation is appropriate to a non-reinforced UHPFRC beam, whereas the assumption of 3-D random fiber orientation is suitable for UHPFRC beams reinforced with steel and GFRP rebars due to disorder of fiber alignment from the internal reinforcements. The micromechanics-based finite element analysis also well predicted the serviceability deflections of UHPFRC beams with GFRP rebars and hybrid reinforcements.

FRP-보강근 콘크리트 부재들은 FRP-보강근이 철근에 비해 낮은 탄성계수와 부착강도를 갖고 있어 철근콘크리트 부재에 비해 과도한 균열폭의 가능성이 클 수 있다. 따라서 외국의 기준들에서는 FRP-보강근 콘크리트 부재의 균열제어를 위하여 허용균열폭의 제한규정을 두고 있는데, ACI 440.1R-15 설계지침에서는 최대 보강근 간격으로 제어하는 간접적인 방법으로 제안하고 있다. 그러나 제안식은 아직까지 장기하중이 균열폭에 미치는 시간종속적인 효과를 반영하지 못하고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 장방형단면뿐만 아니라 T형단면의 FRP-보강근 콘크리트 보를 대상으로 장기실험을 통하여 얻어진 실험결과를 바탕으로 단면형태별 균열폭 특성을 구분하여 파악하므로 써 장기균열폭 예측모델을 제안하는데 필요한 기초자료를 제공하고자 하였다. 따라서 단면형태별로 각각 한 개씩 의 철근콘크리트 비교시험체를 포함한 4개의 장방형보와 4개의 T형 보로 구성된 총 8개의 시험체를 제작하여 시공하중의 영향을 고려한 1년간 4점 가력 장기휨실험을 수행하였다. 결과로서 시간종속적인 영향을 받는 순수장기균열폭은 철근 시험체에 비해 보강근의 탄성계수가 낮은 GFRP나 AFRP-보강근 시험체에서는 2.6~3.0배 증가하였으나 CFRP-보강근 시험체에서는 1.1~1.4배 증가에 그쳤다. 또한 즉시균열폭을 포함한 총장기균열폭은 장방형단면과 T형단면 시험체에서 평균적으로 각각 즉시균열폭의 약 2.4와 3.1배 증가를 보여주어 보수적으로 각각 2.5와 3.5의 시간종속계수를 구분하여 제안하였다.

This study was attempted to investigate the mechanical properties of concrete and crack control effects of reinforced concrete with steel and glass fiber. The experimental program includes tests on the properties of fresh concrete containing fibers, compressive strength, tensile strength, flexural strength, Young's modulus, Shrinkage and deformation of steel or glass fiber reinforced concrete. Also this study was carried out to investigate the effect of steel or glass fiber to retard the development in reinforced concrete subject to uniaxial tension and thus facilitate the use of steels of higher strength. The major conclusions that can be drawn from the studies are as follows: 1. The effect of the fibers in various mixes on fresh concrete confirmed that fibers do have a significant effect on the properties of fresh concrete, bringing much more stable and exhibiting a signiflcant reduction in surface bleeding, and that the cohesion is greatly improved and the internal resistance increases with fiber concentration. But the addition of an excess contents and length of fibers brings about the reduction of workability. 2. With the addition of steel fibers(1.5% Vol.) to concrete, the compressive strength as compared with plain concrete showed a very slight increase, but excess addition, over 1.5% Vol. of steel and glass fiber reduced its strength. 3. Splitting tensile strength of fiber reinforced concrete showed a significant increase tendency, as compared with plain concrete. In case of containing steel fiber (2.5%, 30mm), it showed that the maximum increase rate of 1.48 times as much rate, and in case of containing glass fiber (2.5%, 30mm), the increase rate of strength was 1.25 times as much rate. 4. Flexural strength of fiber reinforced concrete showed a significant tendency, as compared with plain concrete. Containing steel fiber (2.5%, 30mm) showed the maximum increase rate of 1.64 times as much rate and containing glass fiber (2.5%, 30mm) showed the increase rate of strength of 1.32 times as much rate, and in general, the 30mm length brougth the best results. 5. The strength ratio ($\sigma$b/$\sigma$c and $\sigma$t/$\sigma$c) increased, when steel fiber's average spacing was up to 3.05mm, but decreased when beyond 3.05mm, and it was confirmed that tensile or flexural strengths of steel fiber reinforced concrete are apparently governed by fiber's average spacing. 6. The compressive strain of fiber reinforced concrete showed a significant increasing tendency as the fiber was added, but Young's modulus. with the addition of steel and glass fibers, showed a slight decrease tendency. And according to the increase of flexural strength, a considerable increase was seen in toughness. 7. With the addition of fiber's the shrinkage of concrete was significantly decreased, in both case of adding steel fibers 12.5%, 30mm, and showed a significant decrease ratio, in average 30.4% and 36.7%, as compared with plain concrete. 8. With the increase of fiber volume fraction and length, the gained stress in reinforcing bar in concrete specimens increased in all crack widths, but at different rates, with the decrease of fiber diameter, the stress showed a considerable increasing tendency. And the duoform steel fibers showed the greatest improvement, as compared with the other types tested. 9. The influence of fiber dimensions in order of significanse on the machanical properties of concrete and the crack control of reinforced concrete was explained as follows: content, length, aspect ratio and dimeter.

원형 철근콘크리트 기둥의 전단보강철근에 의한 저항강도의 평가를 위하여 전단에 의한 사인장 균열 면을 관통하는 원형 전단보강철근의 횡하중 작용방향의 평균 인장력을 산정하였다 이를 위하여 원형 전단보강철근이 이루는 원의 중심선간 직경, 수직 배근간격 및 기둥축 방향에 대한 사인장 균열면을 고려하였으며, 이들 변수들을 이용하여 원형 전단보강철근의 유효단면적을 계산하는 공식을 제안하였다. 연구결과, 원형 전단보강철근의 유효단면적 계산을 위하여 근 10년 간 사용되어 온 상수 계수가 모든 경우에 일률적으로 사용될 수 없음을 보여주고 있다 즉, 기존에 사용되는 원형전단철근 유효단면적은 기둥의 전단저항강도의 계산에 있어서, 전단철근의 배근간격이 비교적 넓은 비내지진 지역에서는 안전 측의 예측을 하게 되어 구조물의 안전상 큰 문제가 없지만, 배근간격이 촘촘하거나 원통형강관을 사용하게 되는 내진 지역에서는 기둥의 전단저항강도를 실제보다 20% 정도 과하게 예측하여 구조물의 안전에 좋지 않은 결과를 낳을 수도 있다.

This paper presents a full-scale experimental test to investigate the flexural behavior of an innovative dovetail ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) joint designed for the 5^th Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge. The test specimen had a dimension of 3600 × 1600 × 170 mm, in accordance with the real bridge. The failure mode, crack pattern and structural response were presented. The ductility and stiffness degradation of the tested specimens were explicitly discussed. Test results indicated that different from conventional reinforced concrete slabs, well-distributed cracks with small spacing were observed for UHPC joint slabs at failure. The average nominal flexural cracking strength of the test specimens was 7.7 MPa, signifying good crack resistance of the proposed dovetail UHPC joint. It is recommended that high grade reinforcement be cooperatively used to take full advantage of the superior mechanical property of UHPC. A new ductility index, expressed by dividing the ultimate deflection by flexural cracking deflection, was introduced to evaluate the post-cracking ductility capacity. Finally, a strut-and-tie (STM) model was developed to predict the ultimate strength of the proposed UHPC joint.
