The construction industry, one of the biggest producers of greenhouse emissions, is under a lot of pressure as a result of growing worries about how climate change may affect local communities. Geopolymer concrete (GPC) has emerged as a feasible choice for construction materials as a result of the environmental issues connected to the manufacture of cement. The findings of this study contribute to the development of machine learning methods for estimating the properties of eco-friendly concrete, which might be used in lieu of traditional concrete to reduce CO₂ emissions in the building industry. In the present work, the compressive strength (f_c) of GPC is calculated using random forests regression (RFR) methodology where natural zeolite (NZ) and silica fume (SF) replace ground granulated blast-furnace slag (GGBFS). From the literature, a thorough set of experimental experiments on GPC samples were compiled, totaling 254 data rows. The considered RFR integrated with artificial hummingbird optimization (AHA), black widow optimization algorithm (BWOA), and chimp optimization algorithm (ChOA), abbreviated as ARFR, BRFR, and CRFR. The outcomes obtained for RFR models demonstrated satisfactory performance across all evaluation metrics in the prediction procedure. For R² metric, the CRFR model gained 0.9988 and 0.9981 in the train and test data set higher than those for BRFR (0.9982 and 0.9969), followed by ARFR (0.9971 and 0.9956). Some other error and distribution metrics depicted a roughly 50% improvement for CRFR respect to ARFR.

PURPOSES : The objective of this study is to evaluate the application of soil stabilization method for soft shoulder construction in the iRoad Project of Sri Lanka. METHODS : Firstly, the quantitative analysis of soil strength improvement due to soil stabilization was done for soil samples collected from iRoad construction sites. Two types of soils were selected from iRoad Project sites and prepared for soil stabilization testing by the Road Development Authority. Secondly, the appropriate stabilizer was selected at given soil type based on test results. Two different stabilizers, ST-1 and ST-2, produced in Korea were used for estimating soil strength improvements. Finally, the optimum stabilizer content was determined for improving shoulder performance. The uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) test was conducted to evaluate the strength of stabilized soil samples in accordance with ASTM D 1633. The use of bottom ash as a stabilizer produced from power plant in Sri Lanka was also reviewed in this task. RESULTS : It is found from the UCS testing that a 3% use of soil stabilizer can improve the strength up to 2~5 times in stabilized soft shoulder soils with respect to unstabilized soils. It is also observed from UCS testing that the ST-1 shows high strength improvement in 3% of stabilizer content but the strength improvement rate with increase of stabilizer content is relatively low compared with ST-2. The ST-2 shows a low UCS value at 3% of content but the UCS values increase significantly with increase of stabilizer content. When using the ST-2 as stabilizing agent, the 5% is recommended as minimum content based on UCS testing results. Based on the testing results for bottom ash replacement, the stabilized sample with bottom ash shows the low strength value. CONCLUSIONS : This paper is intended to check the feasibility for use the soil stabilization technique for shoulder construction in Sri Lanka. The use of soil stabilizer enables to improve the durability and strength in soft shoulder materials. When applying the bottom ash as a soil stabilizer, various testings should be conducted to satisfy the specification criteria.

암반설계에 필요한 암반의 강도정수 값을 산정할 시에는, 암반 내 원위치시험이 극히 제한적이며 비용이 고가여서 주로 Hoek-Brown 파괴기준을 이용한 추정식을 사용하고 있다. Hoek-Brown 파괴기준식을 사용할 때에는 이 식을 Mohr-Coulomb 파괴기준식으로 변경하여야 지반의 강도정수 값을 추정할 수 있다. 그러나 파괴기준의 변경과정은 계산 및 분석단계 등 여러 단계를 거쳐야 하는 불편함이 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 현장에서 접할 수 있는 다양한 조건의 암반상태를 모델링한 후, 일차적으로 Hoek-Brown 파괴기준을 이용하여 강도정수 값을 산정하였다. 그 결과를 분석하여 RMC, 암석의 일축압축강도(${\sigma}_c$), 암석계수($m_i$)의 3가지 사용요소를 이용하여 한번의 계산과정을 통해 암반의 강도정수를 추정할 수 있는 추정식 및 현장에서 손쉽게 강도정수를 산정할 수 있는 추정도표를 제안하였다. 이러한 제안 도표 및 제안식을 기존의 Hoek-Brown 및 Mohr-Coulomb 파괴기준식과 비교, 검토함으로써 본 제안의 타당성을 검증하였다.

성숙도는 비파괴시험으로 현장 콘크리트 강도를 시간과 온도의 함수로 추정하는 방법이다. 본 연구의 주목적은 실내실험에서 추정한 성숙도 곡선을 이용하여 whitetopping의 줄눈절삭과 교통개방의 시간을 결정하는 것이다. 또한 대기온도가 콘크리트 슬래브 온도와 성숙도에 미치는 영향을 평가하였고, 줄눈절삭과 교통개방시기를 결정하기 위해 성숙도 곡선을 개발하였다. i-button을 슬래브 내부에 설치하여 온도를 계측하였고, strain gauge를 이용하여 변위를 측정하였다. 실내실험에서 얻어진 성숙도 곡선을 이용하여 현장 압축강도를 예측한 결과, 현장 압축강도와 성숙도 곡선에서 예측된 압축강도와는 상당한 차이를 나타냈다. 이와 같은 결과는 현장의 양생조건, 대기온도, 풍속을 포함하는 여러 인자가 현장콘크리트 강도에 중요한 영향을 미치는 것으로 판단되었다. 여러 인자 중에서 대기온도의 변화에 따른 슬래브 온도와 성숙도 값에 미치는 영향을 평가한 결과, 대기온도는 슬래브 온도와 성숙도에 큰 영향을 미치는 것을 알 수 있었다. 특히 대기온도에 따른 성숙도 곡선의 기울기는 감소하였으며, 이는 대기온도가 감소함에 따라 성숙도 값이 급격히 감소하였다.

숏크리트 공법은 공기압으로 콘크리트를 대상 면에 뿜어 붙이는 방법으로, 주로 터널 및 지하구조물의 1차 지보재, 경사면 보호에 사용되며, 최근에는 구조물 유지보수 등에도 적용되고 있다. 특히, 건식방법(Dry-Mix Process)은 습식방법(Wet-Mix Process)에 비해 소형장비가 요구되고 청소 및 유지관리가 용이하고 속경성 재료의 사용이 가능함으로 건식방법이 구조물 보수에 경제적이며 적합하다. 건식 숏크리트의 품질관리는 주로 코아시편을 이용한 압축강도로 규정되어있으나, 이 방법은 코아 시편을 얻는데 많은 어려움을 내포하고 있으며, 특히 속경성 보수재료의 조기강도 평가는 그 어려움을 더 크다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 속경성 시멘트를 이용하여 초속경 건식 숏크리트의 조기강도를 평가하기 위해 정방형 시험편 압축강도시험, 코아 압축강도시험, 인발시험, 성숙도시험을 실시하여 이들의 상관성을 분석하였다. 코아 압축강도, 정방형 시편 압축강도, 인발시험으로부터 추정된 압축강도 실험결과를 상관성 분석한 결과 모두 90%이상의 높은 상관성이 나타났다.

본 논문은 암반용 압축강도테스트 해머를 이용하여 초고강도 콘크리트 모의부재 압축강도 실험을 통한 강도추정에 대해서 검토하고자 하였다. 실험결과에 따르면, 본 실험 데이터값을 토대로 기존에 주로 사용되던 강도 추정식을 적용할 경우 각 식마다 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 압축강도 30MPa 이상으로 갈수록 실측 데이터를 과소평가하고 있는 것으로 나타났으며, 모든 강도 영역에서 실측치의 분포범위를 크게 벗어나고 있는 것으로 나타났다. W/B 종류별 타격방향 및 굵은 골재 유무와 상관없이 암반용 테스트 해머가 N형 슈미트 해머보다 높은 상관관계를 나타내었으며, 모르타르가 콘크리트보다 좀 더 높은 상관관계를 나타내었다. 그리고 굵은 골재 유 무에 따른 모의부재 반발도 측정결과 모르타르(2.26%/1.36)의 변동계수와 표준편차가 콘크리트(4.06%/2.5)보다 낮게 나타났으며, 굵은 골재의 치수가 작을수록 변동계수가 작아져 보다 정확한 값을 나타내는 것을 알 수 있다.

It is important to consider an effect of concrete member sizes when estimating the ACI rectangular stress block of a reinforced concrete flexural member. However, the experimental data and analytical analyses are still not available for a proper evaluation. For all types of loading conditions, the trend is that the size of an ACI rectangular stress block tends to change when the member sizes change. In this paper, the size variations of strength coefficients for ACI rectangular stress block and actual stress distribution have been studied. Results of a series of C-shaped specimens subjected to axial compressive load and bending moment were adopted from references 1 and 2. The analysis results show that the effect of specimen sizes on strength coefficients for ACI rectangular stress block and actual stress distribution of concrete member was apparent. Thus, the results suggest that the current strength criteria based design practice should be reviewed.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the capability of different strength-maturity models to account for the effect of the hydration heat on the in-place strength development of high-strength concrete specifically developed for nuclear facility structures under various ambient curing temperatures. To simulate the primary containment-vessel of a nuclear reactor, three 1200-mm-thick wall specimens were prepared and stored under isothermal conditions of approximately $5^{\circ}C$ (cold temperature), $20^{\circ}C$ (reference temperature), and $35^{\circ}C$ (hot temperature). The in situ compressive strengths of the mock-up walls were measured using cores drilled from the walls and compared with strengths estimated from various strength-maturity models considering the internal temperature rise owing to the hydration heat. The test results showed the initial apparent activation energies at the hardening phase were approximately 2 times higher than the apparent activation energies until the final setting. The differences between core strengths and field-cured cylinder strengths became more notable at early ages and with the decrease in the ambient curing temperature. The strength-maturity model proposed by Yang provides better reliability in estimating in situ strength of concrete than that of Kim et al. and Pinto and Schindler.
