This paper deals with the formulation and development of fracture criteria for high-strength structural members containing surface damage in the form of notches (i.e., blunt defects). The important role of the yield strength of the material and its strain hardening capacity (evaluated by means of the constitutive law or stress-strain curve) is analysed in depth by considering the fracture performance of notched samples taken from high-strength steels with different levels of cold drawing (the most heavily drawn steel being commercial prestressing steel used in prestressed concrete). The final aim of the paper is to establish fracture-based design criteria for structural members made of steels with distinct yield strength and containing very different kinds of notch-shape surface damage.

Tunnels have been an integral part of human civilization. Due to complexity in its design and structure, the stability of underground structures under extreme loading conditions has utmost importance. Increased terrorism and geo-political conflicts have forced the engineers and researchers to study the response of underground structures, especially tunnels under blast loading. The present study has been carried out to seek the response of tunnel structures under blast load using the finite element technique. The tunnel has been considered in quartzite rock of northern India. The Mohr-Coulomb constitutive model has been adopted for the elastoplastic behaviour of rock. The rock model surrounding the tunnel has dimensions of 30 m x 30 m x 35 m. Both unlined and lined (concrete) tunnel has been studied. Concrete Damage Plasticity model has been considered for the concrete lining. Four different parameters (i.e., tunnel diameter, liners thickness, overburden depth and mass of explosive) have been varied to observe the behaviour under different condition. To carry out blast analysis, Coupled-Eulerian-Lagrangian (CEL) modelling has been adopted for modelling of TNT (Trinitrotoluene) and enclosed air. JWL (Jones-Wilkins-Lee) model has been considered for TNT explosive modelling. The paper concludes that deformations in lined tunnels follow a logarithmic pattern while in unlined tunnels an exponential pattern has been observed. The stability of the tunnel has increased with an increase in overburden depth in both lined and unlined tunnels. Furthermore, the tunnel lining thickness also has a significant effect on the stability of the tunnel, but in smaller diameter tunnel, the increase in tunnel lining thickness has not much significance. The deformations in the rock tunnel have been decreased with an increase in the diameter of the tunnel.

A reinforced concrete water tank is a typical functional liquid storage structure and cracks are the greatest threat to the liquid storage structure. Tanks are readily cracked due to seismic activity, thereby leading to the leakage of the stored liquid and a loss of function. In order to study the effect of cracks on liquid storage tanks, self-healing and leakage tests for bending cracks and through cracks in the walls of a reinforced concrete water tank were conducted. Material performance tests were also performed. The self-healing performance of bending cracks in a lentic environment and through cracks in a lotic environment were tested, thereby the self-healing width of bending micro-cracks in the lentic environment in the short term were determined. The through cracks had the capacity for self-healing in the lotic environment was found. The leakage characteristics of the bending cracks and through cracks were tested with the actual water head on the crack. The effects on liquid leakage of the width of bending cracks, the depth of the compression zone, and the acting head were determined. The relationships between the leakage rate and time with the height of the water head were analyzed. Based on the tests, the relationships between the crack characteristics and self-healing as well as the leakage were obtained. Thereby the references for water tank structure design and grading earthquake damage were provided.

As the high-rise building increase due to the gravitation of population to big cities recently, it requires high quality and high performance of Concrete. As a result, people are keenly interested in Meta-kaolin as new admixture favorable from an economic perspective, which has strength and endurance with admixture at the same level like Silica-fume. Accordingly, as to Meta-kaolin, this study was to set by three levels like domestic one, foreign one, and Silica-fume, the water-binding material ratio 25%, and four level substitute like 0, 10, 20, and 30(%) in order to compare and analyze the quality durability of high-concrete according to the substitute of Meta-kaolin applicable with replacement of Silica-fume. As a result of performing experiment it was found that when water-binding material ratio increases, resistance of neutralization, carbonation, salt damage and sulfate decrease, and when replacement ratio of mineral admixture increases, depth of accelerating carbonation gets greater. Also, the combination of SF and MK-B favored resistance to chloride ion penetration better than MK-A, and it was found that when replacement ratio of binding material increases, the resistance to sulphuric acid increases. Therefore, based on this study, it was understood that meta-kaolin is useable in replacement of silicafume.

Mode II fracture toughness ($K_{IIc}$) of fiber reinforced concrete (FRC) has been widely investigated under various patterns of test specimen geometries. Most of these studies were focused on single type fiber reinforced concrete. There is a lack in such studies for hybrid fiber reinforced concrete. In the current study, an experimental investigation of evaluating mode II fracture toughness ($K_{IIc}$) of hybrid fiber embedded in high strength concrete matrix has been reported. Three different types of fibers; namely steel (S), glass (G), and polypropylene (PP) fibers were mixed together in four hybridization patterns (S/G), (S/PP), (G/PP), (S/G/PP) with constant cumulative volume fraction ($V_f$) of 1.5 %. The concrete matrix properties were kept the same for all hybrid FRC patterns. In an attempt to estimate a fairly accepted value of fracture toughness $K_{IIc}$, four testing geometries and loading types are employed in this investigation. Three different ratios of notch depth to specimen width (a/w) 0.3, 0.4, and 0.5 were implemented in this study. Mode II fracture toughness of concrete $K_{IIc}$ was found to decrease with the increment of a/w ratio for all concretes and test geometries. Mode II fracture toughness $K_{IIc}$ was sensitive to the hybridization patterns of fiber. The (S/PP) hybridization pattern showed higher values than all other patterns, while the (S/G/PP) showed insignificant enhancement on mode II fracture toughness ($K_{IIc}$). The four point shear test set up reflected the lowest values of mode II fracture toughness $K_{IIc}$ of concrete. The non damage defect concept proved that, double edge notch prism test setup is the most reliable test to measure pure mode II of concrete.

본 연구는 하중 조건에 따른 화해를 입은 중공슬래브의 잔류성능에 대한 실험적 연구이다. 이를 평가하기 위하여, 하중조건을 변수로 하는 2개의 중공슬래브 실험체를 제작하여 ISO 834 표준화재 곡선에 따라 120분간 가열하였으며, 이를 상온으로 냉각하여 잔류 휨 성능을 평가하였다. 실험결과 하중조건에 따라 중공슬래브의 온도분포가 상이한 것으로 나타났으며, 재하 실험체가 비재하 실험체에 비해 전단면에 걸쳐 온도가 빠르게 상승하는 경향을 보임을 확인하였다. 고온으로 가열 후 냉각한 중공슬래브의 잔류 휨 강도의 경우 화해를 입지 않은 중공슬래브에 비해 34%~40% 감소하는 것으로 나타났으며, 휨 강성의 경우 15%~23% 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 하중을 재하 한 중공슬래브의 경우 재하하지 않고 가열한 중공슬래브에 비해 약 10%의 강도 저감이 발생하였으며, 휨 강성의 경우 15% 감소한 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 하중 재하에 따른 휨 균열에 의해 슬래브의 하부 주인장 철근의 온도가 비재하 실험체에 비해 높아지며, 하부철근 피복의 박리현상이 가속화되기 때문인 것으로 판단된다.

콘크리트 구조물의 내부의 매립된 철근은 부동태 피막으로 인해 부식으로부터 보호된다고 알려져 있다. 구조물의 경제적인 내구수명 산정을 위해 부식 발생 시기를 지연시키거나 초기 부식 시점을 평가하는 것은 매우 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 3 가지 수준의 피복두께(60 mm, 45 mm, 30 mm), 물-시멘트 비(40.0%, 50.0%, 60.0%), 염화물 농도(0.0%, 3.5%, 7.0%)를 고려한 콘크리트 시편을 대상으로 부식 모니터링을 수행하였는데, 한천(Agar) 기반 소켓 형식 센서를 활용하여 OCP를 측정하였다. OCP 측정 시 습윤 조건에서는 전위가 감소하고 건조 조건에서는 감소된 전위가 일부 회복하는 거동을 확인하였다. 모든 물-시멘트 비에서 피복두께가 30 mm의 경우 가장 낮은 OCP값이 측정되었으며, 피복두께가 30 mm에서 45 mm로 증가할 때 빠르게 OCP가 회복하였다. 이는 피복두께가 염화물 이온의 침투에 효과적인 방어기구로 작용하기 때문이다. 염화물 농도가 증가함에 따라 물-시멘트 비의 영향보다 피복두께에 대한 영향이 더 지배적인 경향을 보이는 것으로 도출되었다. 시편의 해체 후 추가적인 모니터링과 염화물량의 평가를 수행하면 제안된 부식 모니터링 기법의 신뢰성을 높일 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

RC 구조물이 해양 환경에 노출되거나 염화물 환경에 놓이면 콘크리트 속의 매립철근의 부식이 발생한다. 철근의 부식은 구조물의 내구성을 감소시키게 되며, 이러한 부식은 염화물의 침투로 인해 발생하게 된다. 이에 본 연구에서는 염화물 침투실험을 통하여 콘크리트 물성과 시험법이 염화물 확산에 미치는 영향을 살펴보았다. 실험 결과에 따르면, W/C비와 시험법 모두 콘크리트의 확산계수에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. W/C비가 증가함에 따라 확산계수도 증가하였으나, 비례하여 증가하지는 않았다. 또한, 시험법에 따른 확산계수의 경우, W/C비의 영향은 잘 반영하나 시험법에 따라 확산계수의 차이가 보인다. 본 연구에서는 W/C비에 따른 확산계수 추정식을 제안하였다.

고속 비상체에 의한 충격을 받는 콘크리트는 그 충격력에 의해 관통, 표면관입 및 배면박리뿐만 아니라 균열의 확산에 의해 나타나는 국부적인 파괴 등 정하중을 받을 때와 다른 파괴거동을 보인다. 이러한 콘크리트의 파괴거동은 비상체의 재료적 특성, 충돌속도, 질량 및 기하학적 구조뿐만 아니라 콘크리트의 재료적 특성, 시험체의 크기 및 두께, 보강재료 및 방법 등 다양한 요인에 의해 영향을 받는다. 이 연구에서는 콘크리트 재료의 압축강도에 따른 표면관입깊이 및 배면박리성상에 대하여 평가하고, 섬유보강에 의한 배면박리억제효과에 대하여 검토하고자 하였다. 그 결과 압축강도의 증가로 인하여 표면관입깊이는 감소하였으며, 이 연구 범위의 결과는 수정 NDRC식 및 US ACE식과 유사한 경향을 나타냈다. 반면, 배면박리억제에 있어 압축강도 증가에 의한 영향은 확인할 수 없었으며, 섬유보강에 의한 인성의 향상을 통하여 배면박리를 억제할 수 있었다.
