A central pullout test was conducted to investigate the bonding properties between high strength rebar and reactive powder concrete (RPC), which covered ultimate pullout load, ultimate bonding stress, free end initial slip, free end slip at peak load, and load-slip curve characteristics. The effects of varying rebar buried length, thickness of protective layer and diameter of rebars on the bonding properties were studied, and how to determine the minimum thickness of protective layer and critical anchorage length was suggested according the test results. The results prove that: 1) Ultimate pull out load and free end initial slip load increases with increase in buried length, while ultimate bonding stress and slip corresponding to the peak load reduces. When buried length is increased from 3d to 4d(d is the diameter of rebar), after peak load, the load-slip curve descending segment declines faster, but later the load rises again exceeding the first peak load. When buried length reaches 5d, rebar pull fracture occurs. 2) As thickness of protective layer increases, the ultimate pull out load, ultimate bond stress, free end initial slip load and the slip corresponding to the peak load increase, and the descending section of the curve becomes gentle. The recommended minimum thickness of protective layer for plate type members should be the greater value between d and 10 mm, and for beams or columns the greater value between d and 15 mm. 3) Increasing the diameter of HRB500 rebars leads to a gentle slope in the descending segment of the pullout curve. 4) The bonding properties between high strength steel HRB500 and RPC is very good. The suggested buried length for test determining bonding strength between high strength rebars and RPC is 4d and a formula to calculate the critical anchorage length is established. The relationships between ultimate bonding stress and thickness of protective layer or the buried length was obtained.

The concept of horizontal shear connection utilization on wood-concrete beams intends to be an alternative connection detail for composite wood-concrete decks. The volume of sawn-wood is over three times more expensive than concrete, in Brazil. In order to be competitive in the Brazilian market we need a composite deck with the least amount of wood and a simple and inexpensive connection detail. This research project uses medium to high density tropical hardwoods managed from the Brazilian Amazon region and construction steel rods. The beams studied are composed of a bottom layer of staggered wood boards and a top layer of concrete. The wood members are laterally nailed together to form a wide beam, and horizontal rebar connectors are installed before the concrete layer is applied on top. Two sets of wood-concrete layered beams with horizontal rebar connectors (6 and 8) were tested in third-point loading flexural bending. The initial results reveal medium composite efficiency for the beams tested. An improvement on the previously conceived connection detail (set with six connectors) for the composite wood-concrete structural floor system was achieved by the set with eight connectors. The new layout of the horizontal rebar connectors added higher composite efficiency for the beams tested. Further analysis with advanced rigorous numerical Finite Element Modeling is suggested to optimize the connection parameters. Composite wood-concrete decks can attend a large demand for pedestrian bridges, as well as residential and commercial slabs in the Brazilian Amazon.

염분이 함유된 콘크리트 모사 세공용액 중에서의 철근 부식반응을 Tafel 분극법과 교류 임피던스법에 의해 비교 고찰하였으며, 철근 표면의 거칠기와 산화피막층에 의한 부식거동을 연구하였다. 전기화학적 교류 임피던스법에 의한 철근부식의 진단은 매우 유용하며, 제안된 모델과 실험결과가 잘 일치하였다. 염분농도가 증가할수록 부식전위는 cathodic-방향으로 이동하여 부식확률이 증가하였으며, 부식전류도 동일한 양상을 보였다. 철근 표면의 산화피막은 주사전자현미경과 AES (Auger electron spectroscopy)로 분석하였다. Torch로 15초간 열처리하여 형성된 철근표면의 산화피막은 오히려 철근부식을 촉진하였으며, 철근 표면의 거칠기가 증가할수록 부식속도는 증가하였다. 또한, 초기 콘크리트 모사세공 용액의 온도 증가는 철근 부식속도의 증가를 가져왔다.

Refined analysis depicting mass transportation and physicochemical reaction and reasonable computing load with acceptable DOFs are the two major challenges of numerical simulation for concrete durability. Mesoscopic numerical simulation for chloride diffusion considering binder, aggregate and interfacial transition zone is unable to be expended to the full structure due to huge number of DOFs. In this paper, a multiscale approach of combining both mesoscopic model including full-graded aggregate and equivalent macroscopic model was introduced. An equivalent conversion of chloride content at the Interfacial Transition Layer (ITL) connecting both models was considered. Feasibility and relative error were discussed by analytical deduction and numerical simulation. Case study clearly showed that larger analysis model in multiscale model expanded the diffusion space of chloride ion and decreased chloride content in front of rebar. Difference for single-scale simulation and multiscale approach was observed. Finally, this paper addressed some worth-noting conclusions about the chloride distribution and rebar corrosion regarding the configuration of rebar placement, rebar diameter, concrete cover and exposure period.

A high-pressure hose includes rebar layers of the synthetic fiber such as nylon or a steel wire to control internal pressure. The hose assembly is manufactured through the swaging process to clamp the hose into the metal fittings. Usually, the hose behavior is affected by the resultant of the longitudinal and circumferential forces produced by the internal pressure. The rebar layers can appear the most ideal rebar effect when they are arranged to the same direction as the resultant force. The braid angle applied in the rebar layers is an important factor in determining ultimate burst pressure and overall hose life. Failure can occur on the contacted parts of a hose with the metal fittings under severe operating conditions such as high pressure and temperature of the inner fluid. In this paper, the mechanical behavior between the hose and the metal fittings during the swaging process and the stress variation characteristics of a high-pressure hose under a constant applied pressure are analyzed with respect to the braid angle of steel wire using the finite element method.

본 논문은 철근 콘크리트에 대한 전자기적 모델링을 하고, 전파에 대한 차폐 효과를 분석하였다. 철근 콘크리트는 대부분의 건축물에 쓰이고 있으며, 내부에 격자 구조의 철근을 설치하기 때문에 특정 주파수 대역에서 전파의 차폐 효과가 있다. 철근 콘크리트의 해석은 3D EM(3-dimensional electromagnetic) 시뮬레이션 툴을 이용하여 철근과 콘크리트를 각각 해석한 뒤 그 영향을 고려하여 전체 철근 콘크리트의 해석을 하였다. 콘크리트의 경우 주파수가 높아짐에 따라 손실 특성 역시 높아져 차폐 효과가 커진다. 단층 철근의 경우 철근의 두께가 두꺼워질수록 차폐 효과가 커지며 주파수가 낮을수록 철근에 의한 차폐 효과가 커지는 것을 분석하였다. 또한, 철근과 철근 사이의 간격이 넓어질수록 차폐 효과가 낮아진다. 철근 구조를 2층으로 확장한 경우에 대해서도 철근과 철근 층 사이의 거리에 따른 차폐 효과에 대한 분석을 하였다. 철근 콘크리트 단층 철근을 사용한 경우, 철근두께 가 10, 20, 30 mm일 때 500 MHz에서 각각 철근 콘크리트 두께 10 cm당 -1.89, -2.73, -4.76 dB/10 cm의 투과 특성 값을 가지며, 두 층 철근을 이용한 경우에도 철근 두께에 대하여 -2.46, -6.16, -9.55 dB/10 cm의 투과 특성을 나타낸다.

Reinforcement corrosion can cause serious safety deterioration to aging concrete structures exposed in aggressive environments. This paper presents an approach for reliability analyses of deteriorating reinforced concrete structures affected by reinforcement corrosion on the basis of the representative symptoms identified during the deterioration process. The concrete cracking growth and rebar bond strength evolution due to reinforcement corrosion are chosen as key symptoms for the performance deterioration of concrete structures. The crack width at concrete cover surface largely depends on the corrosion penetration of rebar due to the expansive rust layer at the bond interface generated by reinforcement corrosion. The bond strength of rebar in the concrete correlates well with concrete crack width and decays steadily with crack width growth. The estimates of cracking development and bond strength deterioration are examined by experimental data available from various sources, and then matched with symptom-based lifetime Weibull model. The symptom reliability and remaining useful life are predicted from the predictive lifetime Weibull model for deteriorating concrete structures. Finally, a numerical example is provided to demonstrate the applicability of the proposed approach for forecasting the performance of concrete structures subject to reinforcement corrosion. The results show that the corrosion rate has significant impact on the reliability associated with serviceability and load bearing capacity of reinforced concrete structures during their service life.

고강도 철근을 생산하기 위해서는 템프코어(Tempcore)라고 불리는 냉각 공정이 적용되고 있는데, 템프코어를 이용하면 합금원소를 첨가하지 않고 Mild steel 로부터 강도 및 용접성이 우수한 철근을 생산 할 수 있다. 하지만 현장 설비를 이용하여 다양한 냉각 조건과 화학성분 변경의 영향을 평가하기에는 한계가 있다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 템프코어 공정을 모사하기 위한 장치를 개발하였으며, 이를 이용하여 경화된 표층부, 중간영역, 연한 내부 조직으로 이루어진 템프코어 조직을 구현하였다. 실험장치는 현장 설비와 동일한 Cooler 1 기가 장착되었고, 12~13 bar 의 압력과 최대 $50m^3/h$의 유량을 공급하는 펌프라인으로 구성되어 있다. 항복강도를 기준으로 400 MPa 이상을 요구하는 강종인 SD400 모사 결과 경화층 면적비 및 냉각 깊이 별 경도가 제품과 잘 일치함을 알 수 있었다.

In this paper, the effect of Engineered Cementitious Composites (ECC) on the lateral strength of a bearing unreinforced Masonry (URM) wall, was experimentally and numerically investigated. Two half scale solid walls were constructed and were tested under quasi-static lateral loading. The first specimen was an un-retrofitted masonry wall (reference wall) while the second one was retrofitted by ECC mortar connected to the wall foundation via steel rebar dowels. The effect of pre-compression level, ECC layer thickness and one or double-side retrofitting on the URM wall lateral strength was numerically investigated. The validation of the numerical model was carried out from the experimental results. The results indicated that the application of ECC layer increases the wall lateral strength and the level of increment depends on the above mentioned parameters. Increasing pre-compression levels and the lack of connection between the ECC layer and the wall foundation reduces the influence of the ECC mortar on the wall lateral strength. In addition, the wall failure mode changes from flexure to the toe-crashing behavior. Furthermore, in the case of ECC layer connected to the wall foundation, the ECC layer thickness and double-side retrofitting showed a significant effect on the wall lateral strength. Finally, a simple method for estimating the lateral strength of retrofitted masonry walls is presented. The results of this method is in good agreement with the numerical results.
