In this study, an equivalent boundary conditions (BCs) determination method is developed numerically for a panel reinforced concrete (RC) slab to realistically analyze the deformation and fatigue behaviors of a bridge RC slab. For this purpose, a finite element analysis of a bridge RC slab is carried out beforehand to calculate the stiffness of the bridge RC slab, and then the equivalent BCs for the panel RC slab are determined to achieve the same stiffness at the BCs to the obtained stiffness of the bridge RC slab at the corresponding locations of the bridge RC slab. Moreover, for the simulation of fatigue behaviors, fatigue analysis of the panel RC slab is carried out employing a finite element method based on a numerical model that considers the bridging stress degradation. Both the determined equivalent BCs and the BCs that have been typically applied in past studies are employed. The analysis results confirm that, in contrast to the panel RC slab with typically used BCs, the panel RC slab with equivalent BCs simulate the same bending moment distribution and deformation behaviors of the bridge RC slab. Furthermore, the equivalent BCs reproduce the extensive grid crack pattern in the panel RC slab, which is alike the pattern normally witnessed in a bridge RC slab. Conclusively, the panel RC slab with equivalent BCs behaves identical to the bridge RC slab, and, as a result, it shows more realistic fatigue behaviors observed in the bridge RC slab.

This study focuses on the influence of a composite external strengthening on the natural frequencies of a steel beam with open cracks. In a first step, the leading parameters associated with the effect of the composite strengthening are experimentally identified. An analytical model is developed in order to quantify the importance of the force transfer within the resin interface. In a second step, the analytical model of a cracked beam with composite external strengthening is compared to experiments.

This study reports the details of the finite element analysis of eleven shear critical partially prestressed concrete T-beams having steel fibers over partial or full depth. Prestressed concrete T-beams having a shear span to depth ratio of 2.65 and 1.59 and failing in the shear have been analyzed using 'ANSYS'. The 'ANSYS' model accounts for the nonlinear phenomenon, such as, bond-slip of longitudinal reinforcements, post-cracking tensile stiffness of the concrete, stress transfer across the cracked blocks of the concrete and load sustenance through the bridging of steel fibers at crack interface. The concrete is modeled using 'SOLID65'-eight-node brick element, which is capable of simulating the cracking and crushing behavior of brittle materials. The reinforcements such as deformed bars, prestressing wires and steel fibers have been modeled discretely using 'LINK8' - 3D spar element. The slip between the reinforcement (rebar, fibers) and the concrete has been modeled using a 'COMBIN39'-non-linear spring element connecting the nodes of the 'LINK8' element representing the reinforcement and nodes of the 'SOLID65' elements representing the concrete. The 'ANSYS' model correctly predicted the diagonal tension failure and shear compression failure of prestressed concrete beams observed in the experiment. The capability of the model to capture the critical crack regions, loads and deflections for various types of shear failures in prestressed concrete beam has been illustrated.

Tunnel lining is the final support of a tunnel and reflects the results of the interaction between ground and support system. Recently it is very difficult to support and manage the tunnel because the cracks on tunnel lining cause problems in supporting and managing tunnels. Therefore the analysis of the cracks is quite strongly required. The major role played by the steel fiber occurs in the post-cracking zone, in which the fibers bridge across the cracked matrix. Because of its improved ability to bridging cracks, steel fiber reinforcement concrete(SFRC) has better crack properties than that of reinforced concrete. In this study, mechanical behaviour of a tunnel lining was examined by model tests. The model tests were carried out under various conditions taking different loading shapes, thicknesses and leakage of lining, and volume content of steel fiber. From these model test, the cracking load, the failure load, defection and cracking position and type were examined and the characteristics of deformation and failure for tunnel lining were estimated and researched.

이 논문에서는 대표적 수치해석에의 균열처리 방법으로 손상모델 기반의 분산균열모델을 체택하여 구조내력을 산정하였다. 또한 전력구 구조물의 실구조 모델링을 위해 3차원 해석방법을 택하였으며 3차원 콘크리트 구성모델로는 현재 3차원 모델중 콘크리트의 다축압축, 인장균열을 효과적으로 모사하는 미소면 모델(Microplane model)을 재료모델로 사용하여 비선형 유한요소해석을 수행하였다. SFRC의 인장연화곡선을 얻기 위해 역해석법을 사용하였으며, 역해석으로 구한 인장연화곡선이 실험결과와 아주 잘 일치함을 보였다. 하중-균열폭 관계를 입력값으로 사용한 역해석 결과와 하중-CMOD 관계를 사용한 역해석 결과는 서로 잘 일치하는 경향을 나타냈다. 이 논문에서는 실험으로부터 측정된 균열폭 데이터와 수치해석시의 손상지수와의 관계를 도출하여으며, 이와 같은 결과는 향후 균열탐사를 통한 구조물의 잔존 구조내력 산정에 적용할 수 있으리라 판단된다.

Recently, large efforts have been made to develop and understand the behavior of Fiber Reinforced Concrete. As in the static loading cases, many researches have been done. However, a few studies have been conducted in cyclic behaviors of FRC. The main objective of the present work is to investigate the cyclic behavior of fiber reinforced concrete with theoretical method. First, cyclic constitutive relations which describe the crack bridging stress considering non-uniform interfacial bond degradation in short randomly oriented fiber reinforced matrix composites under uniaxial cyclic tension were considered. A cyclic degradation model of single fiber based on micromechanics also taken into consideration. As an example, fatigue analysis for ECC with PVA fiber was conducted using proposed equations. Results shows that proposed method can establish a basis for analyzing cyclic behavior of fiber reinforced composites.

To study the eccentric compression behavior of ultra-high performance fiber reinforced concrete (UHPFRC) columns, six UHPFRC columns and one high-strength concrete (HSC) column were tested. Variation parameters include load eccentricity, volume of steel fibers and stirrup ratio. The crack pattern, failure mode, bearing capacity, and deformation of the specimens were studied. The results showed that the UHPFRC columns had different failure modes. The large eccentric compression failure mode was the longitudinal tensile reinforcements yielded and many horizontal cracks appeared in the tension zone. The small eccentric compression failure mode was the longitudinal compressive reinforcements yielded and vertical cracks appeared in the compressive zone. Because of the bridging effect of steel fibers, the number of cracks significantly increased, and the width of cracks decreased. The load-deflection curves of the UHPFRC columns showed gradually descending without sudden dropping, indicating that the specimens had better deformation. The finite element (FE) analysis was performed to stimulate the damage process of the specimens with monotonic loading. The concrete damaged plasticity (CDP) model was adopted to characterize the behaviour of UHPFRC. The contribution of the UHPFRC tensile strength was considered in the bearing capacity, and the theoretical calculation formulas were derived. The theoretical calculation results were consistent with the test results. This research can provide the experimental and theoretical basis for UHPFRC columns in engineering applications.

이 연구에서는 강섬유로 보강된 초고성능 콘크리트(UHPC)를 적용한 대형 크기의 프리스트레스트 콘크리트 거더의 정적하중재하실험을 통하여 휨거동 특성을 파악하고자 하였다. 이 연구결과는 추후 UHPC를 적용한 프리스트레스트 콘크리트 거더의 처짐산정 및 휨강도 산정 모델링에 주요한 기초적인 실험결과를 제공한다. 휨 하중하에서의 프리스트레스트 콘크리트 T-거더의 거동을 파악하기 위하여 강섬유를 혼입하였다. 강섬유는 원형단면의 직선형상이며, 콘크리트에서 2%의 부피비를 나타낸다. 거더는 압축강도 150~190 MPa의 UHPC를 이용하여 제작하였으며, 프리스트레스트 거더의 휨내력을 파악하고자 하였다. 실험결과는 강섬유 보강 UHPC가 거더의 균열제어 및 연성거동에 효과적임을 나타낸다. 강섬유 보강 UHPC를 적용한 프리스트레스트 거더의 파괴는 인장균열에서의 가교 역할(bridging effect)을 하는 강섬유의 뽐힘(pullout)과 더불어 발생한다. 강섬유의 뽑힘과 더불어 단면의 인장강도 손실이 발생하며, 이는 거더의 휨파괴를 유발한다. 또한, 도입 프리스트레스량이 거더의 휨강도에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타난다.

섬유보강 콘크리트의 균열 후 인장 거동을 예측하기 위해서는 균열면에 걸쳐 있는 섬유의 개수를 산정하는 섬유분포계수를 합리적으로 예측하는 것이 필요하다. 이 논문에서는 원형단면에서의 섬유분포계수를 분석하기 위해, 콘크리트 압축강도, 단면 크기, 섬유 종류 및 섬유혼입률 등을 변수로 강섬유보강 콘크리트 공시체를 제작하였으며, 제작한 공시체들을 타설 방향에 수직인 방향으로 절단한 후, 절단된 원형 단면에서의 섬유 개수로부터 섬유분포계수를 측정하였다. 측정 결과, 섬유가 타설면에 평행하게 분포할 확률이 증가함에 따라 실제 원형단면에서의 섬유분포계수가 일반적으로 알려진 0.5보다 작은 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 단위 면적 당 섬유 개수가 증가할수록 섬유분포계수가 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 이 논문에서는 원형단면에서의 섬유분포계수를 합리적으로 예측하기 위해 섬유가 분포할 수 있는 각을 기하학적으로 분석하고, 이로부터 상세 모델과 단순화한 식을 유도하였다. 제안된 모델과 실험에서 측정된 섬유분포계수를 비교한 결과, 제안된 모델이 실제 원형단면에서의 섬유분포계수를 잘 예측하는 것으로 나타났다. 이 연구로부터 확보된 실험 결과 및 제안 모델은 향후 원형단면을 지닌 섬유보강 콘크리트 기둥 부재 등의 구조적 거동 연구에 매우 유용할 것으로 사료된다.
