The experimental and numerical works were carried out on high performance fiber reinforced concrete (HPFRC) with w/cm ratios ranging from 0.25 to 0.40, fiber volume fraction (Vf)=0-1.5% and 10% silica fume replacement. Improvements in compressive and flexural strengths obtained for HPFRC are moderate and significant, respectively, Empirical equations developed for the compressive strength and flexural strength of HPFRC as a function of fiber volume fraction. A relation between flexural strength and compressive strength of HPFRC with R=0.78 was developed. Due to the complex mix proportions and non-linear relationship between the mix proportions and properties, models with reliable predictive capabilities are not developed and also research on HPFRC was empirical. In this paper due to the inadequacy of present method, a back propagation-neural network (BP-NN) was employed to estimate the 28-day compressive strength of HPFRC mixes. BP-NN model was built to implement the highly non-linear relationship between the mix proportions and their properties. This paper describes the data sets collected, training of ANNs and comparison of the experimental results obtained for various mixtures. On statistical analyses of collected data, a multiple linear regression (MLR) model with R2=0.78 was developed for the prediction of compressive strength of HPFRC mixes, and average absolute error (AAE) obtained is 6.5%. On validation of the data sets by NNs, the error range was within 2% of the actual values. ANN model has given the significant degree of accuracy and reliability compared to the MLR model. ANN approach can be effectively used to estimate the 28-day compressive strength of fibrous concrete mixes and is practical.

본 연구는 대심도 조건의 고효율 그라우팅 기술개발을 위한 그라우트재 배합비를 제시한 것으로써 연구에 사용된 1종 보통 포틀랜드 시멘트(OPC)와 마이크로 시멘트(S8000-E)의 배합별 특성과 첨가제 효과를 점도 실험, 입경분석 실험, Gel-Time 실험, 일축압축강도 실험을 통해 확인하였다. 점도실험 결과 점도적인 측면에서 고려하였을 때 OPC가 유리하지만 입경 분석을 통한 암반 절리 간격 통과 고려 시 S8000-E가 적합하다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. Gel-Time 실험 결과 OPC보다 S8000-E에서 효율적인 값을 나타내었으며 실리카퓸(SF) 적용 시에도 그라우트재로서 주입에는 문제가 없음을 확인하였다. 일축압축강도 시험결과 실리카퓸(SF) 함유량 증가에 따른 강도 증진 효과 및 양생시간에 따른 압축강도 변화를 확인하였으며 여러 가지 실험을 통해 산정된 최적의 배합비는 S8000-E, w/c=70%, 실리카퓸(SF)=6%, 7일 양생으로 대심도 조건의 고효율 그라우트재로서 주입에 가장 효과적인 것으로 판단된다.

This study aims to investigate the influence of scoria aggregate (SA) and silica fume (SF) as a replacement of conventional aggregate and ordinary Portland cement (OPC), respectively. Three types of concrete were prepared namely normal weight concrete (NWC) using limestone aggregate (LSA) and OPC (control specimen), lightweight concrete (LWC) using SA and OPC, and LWC using SA and partial SF (SLWC). The representative workability and compressive strength properties of the developed concrete were evaluated, and the results were correlated with non-destructive ultrasonic pulse velocity and Schmidt hammer tests. The LWC and SLWC yielded compressive strength of around 30 MPa and 33 MPa (i.e., 78-86% of control specimens), respectively. The findings indicate that scoria can be beneficially utilized in the development of structural lightweight concrete. Present renewable sources of aggregate will preserve the natural resources for next generation. The newly produced eco-friendly construction material is intended to break price barriers in all markets and draw attraction of incorporating scoria based light weight construction in Saudi Arabia and GCC countries. Findings of the SWOT analysis indicate that high logistics costs for distributing the aggregates across different regions in Saudi Arabia and clients' resistant to change are among the major obstacles to the commercialized production and utilization of lightweight concrete as green construction material. The findings further revealed that huge scoria deposits in Saudi Arabia, and the potential decrease in density self-weight of structural elements are the major drivers and enablers for promoting the adoption of lightweight concrete as alternative green construction material in the construction sector.

콘크리트 구조물의 고성능화가 요구됨에 따라 고성능 콘크리트에 관한 연구가 활발히 진행되어 왔으며, 특히 고강도 콘크리트에 관한 많은 연구가 이루어지고 있다. 고강도 콘크리트를 제조하기 위해서는 혼화재료의 첨가가 필수적이라 할 수 있으며, 지금까지는 실리카 퓸을 주로 사용하여 왔으나, 최근에는 실리카 퓸과 대등한 성능을 가지면서 실리카 퓸보다 저가인 메타카올린을 사용한 고강도 콘크리트에 관한 연구가 많이 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 메타카올린을 사용한 고강도 콘크리트의 특성을 규명하기 위하여 시멘트 페이스트 시험체의 XRD 및 SEM 분석을 통하여 메타카올린의 포졸란 반응을 고찰하였고, 콘크리트 시험체를 제작하여 수은압입법으로 공극구조를 분석하여 압축강도와의 상관성을 도출하였다. 그 결과, 메타카올린의 대체율이 증가할수록 평균 공극직경은 작아지고 압축강도는 증가하는 것으로 나타났으며, 본 연구에서는 $10nm{\sim}10{\mu}m$의 모세관 공극량과 압축강도와의 회귀분석 결과 이들 사이의 결정계수는 약 0.93 정도의 높은 상관성이 있었고, 메타카올린의 적정 대체율은 10~15%로 판단된다.

This paper presents results of visual analysis of cracks formation and propagation of concretes made of quaternary binders (QBC). A composition of the two most commonly used mineral additives, i.e. fly ash (FA) and silica fume (SF) in combination with nanosilica (nS), has been proposed as a partial replacement of the cement. The principal objective of the present study is to achieve information about the effect of simultaneous incorporation of three pozzolans as partial replacement to the OPC on the fracture processes in concretes made from quaternary binders (QBC). The modern and precise non-contact measurement method (NCMM) via digital image correlation (DIC) technique was used, during the studies. In the course of experiments it was established that the substitution of OPC with three pozzolans including the nanoadditive in FA+SF+nS FA+SF+nS combination causes a clear change of brittleness and behavior during fractures in QBCs. It was found that the shape of cracks in unmodified concrete was quasi-linear. Substitution of the binder by SCMs resulted in a slight heterogeneity of the structure of the QBC, including only SF and nS, and clear heterogeneity for concretes with the FA additive. In addition, as content of FA rises throughout each of QBC series, material becomes more ductile and shows less brittle failure. It means that an increase in the FA content in the concrete mix causes a significant change in fracture process in this composite in comparison to concrete with the addition of silica modifiers only.

This study aims to estimate strength approximate to actual concrete strength by presenting appropriate non-destructive strength estimation expression with admixtures such as fly ash, blast furnace slag and silica fume which are used as cement substitute and owing to theirs of cement owing to their equal conditions to blending characteristics of concrete used for domestic structures and their recyclable properties. As a result of comparing error rate of existing expressions and this estimation expression, error rate of this estimation is reduced compared to existing expressions and has higher reliability. When conventional concrete expression is applied to admixture concrete, error rate occurs and then this study suggests the following estimation expressions depending on types of admixture concrete.

This research was to investigate the invasion and diffusion properties of chloride ion on the concrete containing mineral admixtures by the electrically accelerated test. Mineral admixtures selected in mixes were fly-ash, ground granulated blast-furnace slag, silica fume, and meta-kaolin with 3 degrees of replacement ratios. Tang and Nilsson's test method was used to estimate chloride diffusion coefficients of that mixes. As a result, the total current passing charge and the diffusion coefficient of chloride ion were reduced with the use of mineral admixtures and the increase of replacement ratios. In addition, compressive strength was related with diffusion coefficient of chloride ion. Diffusion coefficients of concrete mixed with ground granulated blast-furnace slag showed relatively low value under the range of compressive strength of 400㎏f/㎠.
