The influence of material composition such as aggregate types, addition of supplementary cementitious materials as well as exposed temperature levels have significant impacts on concrete residual mechanical strength properties when exposed to elevated temperature. This study is based on data obtained from literature for fly ash blended concrete produced with natural and recycled concrete aggregates to efficiently develop prediction models for estimating its residual compressive strength after exposure to high temperatures. To achieve this, an extensive database that contains different mix proportions of fly ash blended concrete was gathered from published articles. The specific design variables considered were percentage replacement level of Recycled Concrete Aggregate (RCA) in the mix, fly ash content (FA), Water to Binder Ratio (W/B), and exposed Temperature level. Thereafter, a simplified mathematical equation for the prediction of concrete's residual compressive strength using Gene Expression Programming (GEP) was developed. The relative importance of each variable on the model outputs was also determined through global sensitivity analysis. The GEP model performance was validated using different statistical fitness formulas including R², MSE, RMSE, RAE, and MAE in which high R² values above 0.9 are obtained in both the training and validation phase. The low measured errors (e.g., mean square error and mean absolute error are in the range of 0.0160 - 0.0327 and 0.0912 - 0.1281 MPa, respectively) in the developed model also indicate high efficiency and accuracy of the model in predicting the residual compressive strength of fly ash blended concrete exposed to elevated temperatures.

최근 고강도 콘크리트의 폭렬 방지용 보강 섬유로서 폴리프로필렌 섬유를 대신하여 나일론 섬유의 사용이 증가됨에 따라 고온에 노출된 나일론 섬유를 혼입한 고강도 콘크리트의 폭렬 및 역학적 특성에 관한 실험적 연구가 수행되고 있다. 그러나, 고온을 받은 나일론 섬유 보강 고강도 콘크리트에 관한 연구는 주로 폭렬 특성, 압축강도 및 탄성계수에 대한 평가만이 수행되고 있으며, 열팽창 변형, 전체 변형, 크리프 변형 및 과도 변형과 같은 거동은 평가된 바가 없다. 따라서 이 연구에서는 W/B 0.30~0.15에 따른 나일론 섬유를 혼입한 고강도 콘크리트에 대하여 열팽창 변형, 전체 변형, 크리프 및 과도 변형 등을 평가하였다. 실험 결과, 나일론 섬유는 고온을 받은 나일론 섬유를 혼입한 고강도 콘크리트의 성능에 특별한 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 보였으며, 나일론 섬유 보강 고강도 콘크리트는 섬유를 혼입하지 않은 고강도 콘크리트 또는 보통 강도 콘크리트보다 큰 과도 변형을 나타냈다.

This study is aimed to predict the behaviour of channel shear connectors in composite floor systems at different temperatures. For this purpose, a soft computing approach is adopted. Two novel intelligence methods, including an Extreme Learning Machine (ELM) and a Genetic Programming (GP), are developed. In order to generate the required data for the intelligence methods, several push-out tests were conducted on various channel connectors at different temperatures. The dimension of the channel connectors, temperature, and slip are considered as the inputs of the models, and the strength of the connector is predicted as the output. Next, the performance of the ELM and GP is evaluated by developing an Artificial Neural Network (ANN). Finally, the performance of the ELM, GP, and ANN is compared with each other. Results show that ELM is capable of achieving superior performance indices in comparison with GP and ANN in the case of load prediction. Also, it is found that ELM is not only a very fast algorithm but also a more reliable model.

The effect of glass fibres (GF) and polypropylene fibres (PPF) on the fresh properties and mechanical properties of lightweight concrete (LWC) exposed to high temperatures is investigated in this study. In this study, fifteen LWC mixtures were carried out in three different groups reinforced with PPF or GF fibers by 0%, 0.2%, and 0.4% by volume of concrete. The first group included aluminum powder (AP) as an air agent at 0.03% with the normal weight coarse aggregate (NWCA) by 100% of the weight of coarse aggregate. In the second group, 33% of the NWCA weight was replaced by lightweight coarse aggregate (LWCA). In the third group, 67% of the NWCA weight was replaced by LWCA. The slump, unit weight, Compressive strength (CS), tensile strength (TS), and flexural strength (FS) were examined. For two hours, the CS and FS were subjected to elevated temperatures of 200℃, 400℃, and 600℃, in addition to microstructure analysis of concrete. In comparison to the reference mixture, the fresh properties and bulk density of LWC decreased with the use of the air agent or the replacement of 67% of the NWCA with LWCA. As a result of the fiber addition, both the slump test and the bulk density decreased. The addition of fibers increased the CS; the highest CS was 38.5 MPa when 0.4% GF was added, compared to 28.9 MPa for the reference mixture at the test age of 28 days. In addition, flexural and TS increased by 53% and 38%, respectively, for 0.4% GF mixes. As well as, adding 0.4% GF to LWC maintained a higher CS than other mixtures.

In this study, the fracture toughness $K_{IC}$ of high performance concrete (HPC) was determined by conducting three-point bending tests on eighty notched HPC beams of $500mm{\times}100mm{\times}100mm$ at high temperatures up to $450^{\circ}C$ (hot) and in cooled-down states (cold). When the concrete beams exposed to high temperatures for 16 hours, both thermal and hygric equilibriums were generally achieved. $K_{IC}$ for the hot concrete sustained a monotonic decrease tendency with the increasing temperature, with a sudden drop at $105^{\circ}C$. For the cold concrete, $K_{IC}$ sustained a two-stage decrease trend, dropping slowly with the heating temperature up to $150^{\circ}C$ and rapidly thereafter. The fracture energy-based fracture toughness $K_{IC}$' was found to follow similar decrease trends with the heating temperature. The weight loss, the fracture energy and the modulus of rapture were also evaluated.

This paper presents an experimental investigation on the performance of concrete with and without glass powder (GP) subjected to elevated temperatures. Mechanical and physicochemical properties of concretes were studied at both ambient and high temperatures. One of the major environmental concerns is disposal or recycling of the waste materials. However, a high volume of the industrial production has generated a considerable amount of waste materials which have a number of adverse impacts on the environment. Further, use of glass or by-products in concrete production has advantages for improving some or all of the concrete properties. The economic incentives and environmental benefits in terms of reduced carbon footprint are also the reason for using wastes in concrete. The occurrence of spalling, compressive strength, mass loss, chemical composition, crystalline phase, and thermal analysis of CPG before and after exposure to various temperatures (20, 200, 400, and $600^{\circ}C$) were comprehensively investigated. The results indicated that, the critical temperature range of CPG was between $400^{\circ}C$ and $600^{\circ}C$.

The effects of the different temperatures on the amylase activity and growth rate of the rye seedling grown in the solutions containing radioactive sulfur- 35 were studied. The amylase activity of the coleoptiles obtained from the seedlings grown in the solutions of S-35, at 14$^{\circ}C$, appeared to be strongly stimulated in comparison to the control, but the culture temperatures of 22$^{\circ}C$ and 3$0^{\circ}C$ showed the decrease in the amylase activity. The amylase activity of the grains treated with the low intensity of the ratioactive material didn't show clear changes, at any culture temperatures, but the amylase activity of the grains treated with the high intensity of S-35, 50$\mu$c, showed definite decline at the elevated culture temperature, 3$0^{\circ}C$. Similar effects was also found in the growth of the seedlings. However, we would consider the effects of the radioactive materials on the acticity of the amylase and the growth of the seedlings are resulted from the accumulation of the much amount of the radioactive materials, and this accumulation rate depends upon actually the elevation of the culture temperature.

콘크리트의 온도에 의한 재료적 특성에 대한 저감은 두 가지 메커니즘에 기인한다. 첫 번째 메커니즘은 온도범위에 따른 구성성분의 상변화이다. 초기 구성성분들은 온도 증가로 인해 다른 성분들로 상변화를 일으킨다. 두 번째 메커니즘은 온도에 의한 각 구성성분의 역학적 특성 변화이다. 따라서 고온에 노출된 콘크리트의 재료적 특성에 관한 모델 역시 이 두 가지 메커니즘을 함께 고려하여 제시되어야 한다. 본 연구는 위에서 언급한 두 가지 메커니즘을 고려한 고온에 노출된 콘크리트의 재료적 특성 모델을 제안하기 위한 기반연구로서, 온도범위에 따른 상변화를 고려한 경화된 시멘트 페이스트의 공극률에 대한 이론적 모델을 제시한다.

The high-temperature properties of mild steels were studied by comparing the test results of Kwon and the yield strength, tangent modulus predicted by the design provisions of ASCE and Eurocode(EC3). The column strengths for steel members at high temperatures were determined by the elastic and inelastic buckling strengths according to elevated temperatures. The material properties at high temperatures should be used in the strength evaluations of high temperature members. The buckling strengths obtained from the AISC, EC3 and approximate formula proposed by Takagi et al. were compared with ones calculated by the material nonlinear analysis using the EC3 material model. The newly simplified formulas for yield stress, tangent modulus, proportional limit and buckling strength which were proposed through a comparative study of the material properties and buckling strengths. The buckling strengths of proposed formulas were approximately equivalent to ones obtained from the formulas of Takagi et al. within 4%. They were corresponded to the lower bound values among the buckling strengths calculated by the design formulas and inelastic buckling analysis.
