Ongoing efforts for improved fracture toughness of engineered cementitious materials address the inherent brittleness of the binding matrix at several different levels of the material's geometric scale through the addition of various types of reinforcing fibers. Crack control is required for crack widths that cover the entire range of the grain size spectrum of the material, and this dictates the requirement of hybrid mixes combining fibers of different size (nano, micro, macro). Use of Carbon Nano-Tubes (CNT) and Carbon Nano-Fibers (CNFs) as additives is meant to extend the crack-control function down to the nanoscale where cracking is believed to initiate. In this paper the implications of enhanced toughness thus attained at the material nanostructure are explored, with reference to the global smeared constitutive properties of the material, through consistent interpretation of the reported experimental evidence regarding the behavior of engineered cementitious products to direct and indirect tension.

This paper persents the crack control of mass concrete in massive machine foundation. The dimension of the machine foundation is 52.6m$\times$14.4m$\times$8.5m. The one distinctive characteristic of mass concrete is thermal behavior. Since the cement-water reaction is exothermic by nature, the temperature rises inside the massive concrete structure. When the heat is not quickly dissipated, it can be quite high. Significant tensile stresses may develop from the volume change associated with the increase of decrease of temperature within the mass concrete structure. To avoid occurrence of harmful cracks due to hydration heat, special attention shall be given to the construction of mass cnocrete structures. The temperature control system of mass concrete is proposed in this paper. This system contains a discussion of materials and concrete mix proportioning, thermal analysis, curing method, temperature control, and measurement of hydration heat. As will be seen throughout the paper, the proposed temperature control system have a great effect on the temperature-related cracks on mass concrete structures.

The crack of concrete induced by the heat of hydration is s serious problem, particularly in concrete structures such as bridge piers. thick walls, box type walls, mat-slab of nuclear reactor building, dams of foundations of high rise buildings, etc. As a result of the temperature rise and restriction condition of foundation, the thermal stress which way induce the cracks can occur. Therefore the various techniques of the thermal stress control in massive concrete have been widely used. One of them is prediction of the thermal stress, besides low-heat cement which mitigates the temperature rise, design change which consider steel bar reinforcement, operation control and so on. In this study, firstly it introduce the thermal cracks control technique by employing low-heat cement concrete, thermal stress analysis, Secondly it shows the application of the cracks control technique like the bottom of No.15,16 Underground LNG Tank in Inchon.

타이어 벨트층내의 코드간 균열연결 및 층간균열진전을 모사하기 위해 자유단을 갖는 2층 고무/코드 적층시험편에 대한 4~11mm 변위제어 실험을 수행하였다. 자유단의 코드간 균열연결시의 폭방향 균열진전량은 45$^{\circ}$ 경사진 코드들간 길이의 절반에 도달할 때의 측정값으로 하였으며, 이는 탐침법에 의해 측정되었다 또한, 자유단에서 코드들간 균열연결을 모사하기위해 2차원의 이상화된 모델링 기법을 고안하였다. 이론수명은 테어링에너지(균열파단면의 단위면적당 방출에너지)를 이용하여 코드간 균열연결수명(임계값)과 이후 최종파손까지의 수명으로 구분하였으며, 이들을 각기 실험값과 비교하였다. 임계값까지의 수명예측은 실험과 비교하여 약 20%, 최종파손까지 약 65%의 오차가 발생하였다. 따라서, 전체 이론수명은 실험과 비교하여 약 45%의 오차를 발생하였다.

터널 구조물은 다른 사회간접시설과 마찬가지로 시공과정에서부터 사용연한까지 지속적으로 안전성이 확보되어야 한다. 특히, NATM 공법으로 시공되는 터널 콘크리트 라이닝은 터널의 외장재로 취급되어 왔지만, 근년에 와서 노후화된 터널의 콘크리트 라이닝에서 발생하는 심각한 구조적 균열에 대한 문제가 야기되면서 터널의 장기적인 안전성을 유지하는 최종 지보수단인 구조재로 고려되고 있다. 콘크리트 라이닝 천단부의 종방향 균열 발생은 콘크리트 시공방법과 같은 연관관계를 가지고 있다. 콘크리트 라이닝 타설시 강재 거푸집의 천단부 부터 콘크리트를 주입함으로 콘크리트가 측벽 쪽으로 유동하면서 충전되어 천단부 라이닝 콘크리트는 마지막으로 콘크리트가 타설되기 때문에 천단부의 상부에 공동이 발생할 우려가 크며, 이로 인해 콘크리트 라이닝의 두께도 부족하게 되는 경우가 발생한다. 본 연구에서는 터널 콘크리트 라이닝에서 여러 요인으로 발생하는 균열을 보다 효율적으로 제어하기 위하여 콘크리트 라이닝에서 발생하는 균열 특성, 기존 강섬유보강 콘크리트 라이닝과 복합섬유보강 콘크리트 라이닝의 수치해석적 접근을 시도하였다. 즉, 터널 라이닝 천단부에 강섬유와 복합섬유의 혼입률에 따른 콘크리트 라이닝 부재의 파괴하중과 변위에 대하여 분석하였다.

This study tests ten full-size simple-supported beam specimens with the high-strength reinforcing steel bars (SD685 and SD785) using the four-point loading. The measured compressive strength of the concrete is in the range of 70-100 MPa. The main variable considered in the study is the shear-span to depth ratio. Based on the experimental data that include maximum shear crack width, residual shear crack width, angle of the main crack and shear drift ratio, a simplified equation are proposed to predict the shear deformation of the high-strength reinforced concrete (HSRC) beam member. Besides the post-earthquake damage assessment, these results can also be used to build the performance-based design for HSRC structures. And using the allowable shear stress at the peak maximum shear crack width of 0.4 and 1.0 mm to suggest the design formulas that can ensure service-ability (long-term loading) and reparability (short-term loading) for shear-critical HSRC beam members.

This paper presents the results of integrity assessment for the cracks happened in reactor vessel upper head penetration nozzles. The crack morphology for a boat sample from crack area was analyzed through microscope. The stress condition including weld residual stress around crack was analyzed using finite element analysis. From the results of crack morphology and stress condition, the crack was concluded as primary water stress corrosion cracking. The integrity of the cracked nozzle was assessed by the methodology provided in ASME Section XI. According to the assessment results, the remaining life of the cracked nozzle was 1.43 yrs. and the plant decided to repair it.

In this paper, the fatigue strength and the fatigue crack propagation behaviors of the round bar specimens which were spirally built up by welding and subsequently hardened by quenching were investigated. The material used was SF60 which was whdely employed in mechanical components, especially shafts. Fatigue tests were conducted at the fully reversed condition(R=-1) and axial and load control in the room temperature ahd air environment. The experimental results were expressed by both the range of stress intensity factor ($\Delta{K}$) and the effective range of stress intensity factor ($\Delta{K}_{eff}$). It was clarified that applying of quenching after the building up welding process improved the fatigue strength and the gatigue crack propagation property in the low range of $\Delta{K}$ of the built up round bar specimen.

Concrete retaining walls are the most common types of geotechnical structures for controlling instable slopes resulting from lateral pressure. In analytical stability, calculation of the concrete retaining walls is regarded as a rigid mass when its safety is required. When cracks in these structures are created, the stability may be enforced and causes to defeat. Therefore, identification, creation and propagation of cracks are among the important steps in control of lacks and stabilization. Using the numerical methods for simulation of crack propagation in concrete retaining walls bodies are among the new aspects of geotechnical analysis. Among the considered analytical methods in geotechnical appraisal, the boundary element method (BEM) for simulation of crack propagation in concrete retaining walls is very convenient. Considered concrete retaining wall of this paper is Pars Power Plant structured in south side in Assalouyeh, SW of Iran. This wall's type is RW6 with 11 m height and 440 m length and endurance of refinery construction lateral forces. To evaluate displacement and stress distributions (${\sigma}_{1,max}/{\sigma}_{3,min}$), the surrounding, especially in tip and its opening crack BEM, is considered an appropriate method. By considering the result of this study, with accurate simulation of crack propagation, it is possible to determine the final status of progressive failure in concrete retaining walls and anticipate the suitable stabilization method.
