In the analysis of early-age concrete behavior, the fresh concrete is considered as a structural element immediately after mixing. But for the activation of real structural behavior in the fresh concrete, the so-called setting time is necessary a few hours after the beginning of hydration reaction. In this paper, analysis on the setting behavior is carried out by proposing an analytical model based on the percolation theory as well as the expanding cluster model by defining the setting as a microstructure formation in fresh concrete. An experimental investigation is also carried out to show the influences of curing temperature, mineral admixtures and chemical admixture on setting behavior of fresh concrete. Finally, the analytical results using proposed model are compared with the experimental results for the sake of verification.

Early age cracking of concrete is a widespread and complicated problem, and diverse applications in practical engineering have focused on this issue. Since massive concrete base slab composes the infrastructure of other concrete structures such as pier, concrete dam, and high rise buildings, early age cracking of that is considered as a crucial problem. In this study, finite element analysis (FEA) implemented with the age-dependent microplane model was performed. For a massive concrete base slab, cracking initiation and propagation, and deformation variation were investigated with concrete age. In massive concrete slab, autogenous shrinkage increases the risk of early age cracking and it reduces reinforcement effect on control of early age cracking. Gradual crack occurrence is experienced from exterior surface towards interior of the slab in case of combined hydration heat and autogenous shrinkage. FEA implemented with enhanced microplane model successfully simulates the typical cracking patterns due to edge restraint in concrete base slab.

Climate changes, such as increasing of $CO_2$ concentration and global warming, will impact on the carbonation service life of concrete structures. Moreover, slag blended concrete has a lower carbonation resistance than control concrete. This study presents a probabilistic numerical procedure for evaluating the impact of climate change on carbonation service life of slag blended concrete. This numerical procedure considers both corrosion initiation period and corrosion propagation period. First, in corrosion initiation period, by using an integrated hydration-carbonation model, the amount of carbonatable substances, porosity, and carbonation depth are calculated. The probability of corrosion initiation is determined through Monte Carlo method. Second, in corrosion propagation period, a probabilistic model is proposed to calculate the critical corrosion degree at surface cracking, the probability of surface cracking, and service life. Third, based on the service life in corrosion initiation period and corrosion propagation period, the whole service life is calculated. The analysis shows that for concrete structures with 50 years service life, after considering climate changes, the service life reduces about 7%.

The purpose of this study is to develope the strength prediction model by Maturity Method. A maturity function is a mathematical expression to account for the combined effects of time and temperature on the strength development of a cementious mixture. The method of equivalent ages is to use Arrhenius equation which indicates the influence of curing temperature on the initial hydration ratio of cement. For the experimental factors of this study, we selected the concrete mixing of W/C ratio 45, 50, 55 and 60% and curing temperature 5, 10, 20 and $30^{\circ}C$. And we compare and evaluate with logistic model that is existing strength prediction model, because we have to verify adaption possibility of new strength prediction model which is proposed by maturity method. As the results, it is found that investigation of the activation energy that are used to calculate equivalent age is necessary, and new strength prediction model was proved to be more accurate in the strength prediction than logistic model in the early age. Moreover, the use of new model was more reasonable because it has low SSE and high decisive factor.

Most of chloride diffusion models based on finite difference method (FDM) could not express the diffusion in horizontal direction at each elevation. To overcome these weakness, two dimensional chloride ion penetration model based on finite element method (FEM) to be able to combine various multi-physics simultaneously was suggested by introducing moving mesh technique. To avoid the generation of mesh being able to be distorted depending on the relative movement of water level to static concrete, a rectangular type of mesh was intentionally adopted and the total number of meshes was empirically selected. The simulated results showed that the contents of surface chloride decreased following to the increase of elevation in the top part of low sea level, whereas there were no changes in the bottom part of low level. In the DuraCrete model, the diffusion coefficient of splashed zone is generally smaller than submerged zone, whereas the trend of Life365 model is reverse. Therefore, it could be understood that the developed model using moving mesh technique effectively reflects $DuraCrete^{TM}$ model rather than $Life365^{TM}$ model. In the future, the model will be easily expanded to be combined with various multi-physics models considering water evaporation, heat of hydration, irradiation effect of sun and so on because it is based on FEM.

In this study, the construction of a reinforced concrete bridge pier was analyzed from durability point of view. The goal of the study is to analyze the crack iniation condition due to construction and present some recommendations for construction conditions of the reinforced concrete bridge pier. The bridge is located at the western port area of Shenzhen, where the climate is high temperature and humidity. To control the cracking of concrete, a construction simulation was carried out for a heat transfer problem as well as a thermal stress problem. A shrinkage model for heat produced due to cement hydration and a Burger constitutive model to simulate the creep effect are used. The modelling based on Femmasse(C) is verified by comparing with the testing results of a real underground abutment. For the bridge pier, the temperature and stress distribution, as well as their evolution with time are shown. To simulate the construction condition, four initial concrete temperatures ($5^{\circ}C$, $10^{\circ}C$, $15^{\circ}C$, $20^{\circ}C$) and three demoulding time tips (48h, 72h, 96h) are investigated. From the results, it is concluded that a high initial concrete temperature could result in a high extreme internal temperature, which causes the early peak temperature and the larger principle stresses. The demoulding time seems to be less important for the chosen study cases. Currently used 72 hours in the construction practice may be a reasonable choice.

초기재령 콘크리트 수화과정의 메카니즘과 초기재령 콘크리트 균열 제어기법의 개발은 주로 매시브한 콘크리트를 대상으로 실험적 연구와 수치해석적 연구가 이루어져 왔으나 철근 콘크리트 라멘교의 상부슬래브와 같이 비교적 두께가 적은 부재에 대해서는 연구 내용이 거의 없는 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 4개의 철근 콘크리트 라멘교의 상부 슬래브에 대한 수화열을 현장 실측하여 온도이력과 강도 발현 모텔 및 건조수축 모델에 의한 응력들을 근거로 하여 초기 재령 철근 콘크리트 라멘교의 상부슬래브에 발생할 수 있는 균열을 제어할 수 있는 설계기법을 제시하였다. 본 연구의 해석기법을 이용하여 초기재령 철근 콘크리트 라멘교의 상부슬래브에 발생되는 균열 폭을 계산하여 균열제어를 위한 철근량 산정방법을 제시하였고, 설계하중 재하 시 배력철근으로만 취급되는 헌치부의 철근이 초기재령 철근콘크리트 라멘교의 온도응력 검토 시에는 주철근이 됨을 알 수 있었다. 제안한 해석기법은 초기재령 철근콘크리트 라멘교의 온도균열제어를 위한 설계에 적용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

수화열 균열 저감 기법 중 내부구속이 지배적인 구조물에서 단면의 내외부 온도차를 관리하는 방식은 그 활용도가 매우 높다. 그러나 현 국내 기준의 내외부 온도차와 온도균열지수 관계식은 균열 발생 가능성을 과대평가하는 경향이 있다. 본 연구에서는 그러한 평가식이 유도된 배경을 단계별로 추적하여 타당성을 검증해 보았으며, 그 결과 재령에 따른 탄성계수의 변동성이 고려되지 않은 단순한 재료모델을 사용한 경우에 해당됨을 밝혔다. 개선된 재료모델로 증분형태 구성방정식인 hypoelastic 모델을 사용한 결과 온도균열지수가 기존 식보다 증가되었으며, 그 증가량은 다양한 조건들에 의존하는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구의 분석 결과와 해외사례를 참조하여 평가식의 개선된 형태를 고찰하였으며 또한 평가시 필요한 내외부 온도차를 시공 조건들의 영향을 고려하여 용이하게 추정할 수 있는 식도 제안하였다. 추후 해석 및 실험 자료가 축적되면 구조물과 배합의 주요 특징들을 반영하여 평가식을 세분화하는 것도 바람직하다고 생각된다.
