Standard compression tests of steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) cylinders are conducted to formulate compressive stress versus compressive strain relationship of SFRC. Axial pullout tests of SFRC specimens are also conducted to explore its tensile stress strain relationship. Cover concrete spalling and reinforcement buckling models developed originally for normal reinforced concrete are modified to extend their application to SFRC. Thus obtained monotonic material models of concrete and reinforcing bars in SFRC members are combined with unloading/reloading loops used in the cyclic models of concrete and reinforcing bars in normal reinforced concrete. The resulting path-dependent cyclic material models are then incorporated in a finite-element based fiber analysis program. The applicability of these models at member level is verified by simulating cyclic lateral loading tests of SFRC columns under constant axial compression. The analysis using the proposed SFRC models yield results that are much closer to the experimental results than the analytical results obtained using the normal reinforced concrete models are.

SFRC보의 휨 거동에 대한 이론적인 해석이 제시되었다. Critical region내의 곡률변화와 균열 양상이 고려되었으며 이를 위해 SFRC의 압축응력-변형도와 특히 SFRC의 인장 최대하중 후 응력-균열 열림관계(stress-crack opening relationship)로 표현된 인장 constitutive모델이 비선형 휨 해석에 이용되었다. 제시된 모델의 해석치는 실험치와 비교할 때 만족스러웠으며 이 모델을 이용, SFRC보의 휨 거동에 미치는 여러 영향들과 위험 단면(critical section)의 거동이 고찰되었다. 또한 단순 관찰과 통계적인 접근을 통해 SFRC보의 휨 거동에 큰 영향을 미치는 변수(parameters)들을 찾아내었다.

강섬유 보강 콘크리트(SFRC)의 휨 거동은 재료의 인장 및 압축 응력-변형도에 의존하며 이때 이들은 휨응력시 작용하는 strain gradient의 영향을 받게 된다. SFRC의 경우, 휨 실험은 직인장 실험과 비교하여 볼 때 상대적으로 간편하며 또한 다수의 실험결과가 확보되어 있다. 따라서 이들 휨 실험 결과로부터 SFRC의 기본적 재료 성질인 인장응력-변형도를 유출하는 것은 중요하다고 하겠다. 본 연구의 목적을 위하여 휨 실험 data를 해석하기 위한 "System Identification"방법론이 사용되었으며 그 결과 휨 응력하에서의 SFRC의 인장거동을 설명하는 주요 변수들이 고찰되었다.

This research is focused on obtaining the fracture property of steel fiber reinforced concrete(SFRC) specimens at early ages of 1, 2, 3 and 7-day, respectively. For this purpose, three point bending tests of nine groups of SFRC beams with notch of 40mm depth and different steel fiber ratios were conducted. The experimental results of early age specimens were compared with the 28-day hardened SFRC specimens. The test results indicated that the steel fiber ratios and curing age significantly influenced the fracture properties of SFRC. A reasonable addition of steel fiber improved the fracture toughness of SFRC, while the fracture energy of SFRC developed with curing age. Moreover, a quadratic relationship between splitting strength and fracture toughness was established based on the experiment results. Additionally, afinite element (FE) method was used to investigate the fracture properties of SFRC.A comparison between the FE analysis and experiment results was also made. The numerical analysis fitted well with the test results, and further details on the failure behaviors of SFRC could be revealed by the suggested numerical simulation method.

Steel fiber reinforced concrete(SFRC) which is made by short, randomly distributed steel fibers in concrete is superior in its tensile mechanical properties to plain concrete in enhancement of tensile strength and tensile ductility. These improvements are attributed to crack arresting mechanism and formation of longer crack paths due to fibers , which as a consequence lead to increase in energy absorption capacity of SFRC. In the post-peak region under tensile stresses, major macrocrack forms at critical section. The opening of this macrocrack is mainly resisted by both of the fiber pull-out bridging the cracked surfaces and the resistance by matrix softening. In this study, micromechaincal approach has been made in order to simulate tensile behavior of SFRC and based on which the theoretical model is presented. This model reflects the features of both the composite material concept and the spacing concept in predicting tensile strength of SFRC. The model also takes into account for the effects of matrix tensile softening and fiber bridging by pull-out on the resistance for the post-peak behavior of SFRC. It has been shown that the developed model satisfactory predicts the experimental results.

Steel fiber may be used to raise the effectiveness and safety of reinforced concrete structure and to relax its brittle-fracture behavior. However it is to be clearly stated that the uncertainty for the strength of fiber reinforced concrete(SFRC) is rather increased. Therefore, it is necessary to evaluate the safety of SFRC beam using reliability analysis incorporating realistic uncertainty. This study presents the statistical data and proposes the limit state model to analyze the reliability of SFRC bear In order to verify the efficiency of the proposed limit state model, its numerical application and sensitivity analysis were performed for a continuous SFRC beam. From the results of the numerical analysis, it is founded that the reliability of SFRC beam is significantly difficult from the conventional RC beams and proposed limit state model (or SFRC beam is more rational compared with that for conventional RC beams. Then it may be stated that the reliability analysis of SFRC beams must be carried out for the development of design criteria and the safety assessment.

강섬유 보강 콘크리트는 콘크리트 내에 강섬유를 임의로 투입함으로써 취성의 콘크리트 물성을 연성적으로 향상시킴과 동시에 압축, 인장, 휨 강도를 증가시킨 새로운 구조 신소재라고 할 수 있다. 과거 70년대가 SFRC의 재료적 물성에 대한 실험적 시기였던 반면 현재는 현장에 SFRC를 시공하는 응용단계라 할 수 있다. SFRC의 우수성은 선진 외국의 경우 일반적으로 기업, 정부, 계약관계자 등에게 잘 인식되어 있어 이미 많은 시공현장에서 응용되고 있다. 이로 인하여 외국(미국, 일본, 유럽 등)의 경우 구조적으로 안정되고 경제적인 구조물을 실현하고 있으나 국내의 경우는 안타깝게도 SFRC에 대한 인식이 아직 일반화되어 있지 않으며 시공현장도 매우 드문 실정이다. SFRC에대한 연구는 국.내외 학회에서 꾸준히 연구, 개발하고 있으며 이들 연구결과가 경제적이고 우수한 구조물을 실현하는데 기여할 수 있기를 기대한다.

본 연구에서는 TBM 터널 SFRC 세그먼트 개발을 위하여 이형철근이 보강되지 않은 SFRC 보의 휨파괴 실험을 통하여 SFRC 배합의 평가를 수행하였다. 압축강도, 강섬유의 형상비와 강섬유 혼입률을 변수로 하여 총 16개의 SFRC 보를 제작하고 휨에 의하여 파괴시까지 실험하였다. 하중-수직변위 분석결과, 큰 형상비의 강섬유를 사용하여도 소형보의 실험(Moon et al, 2013)과 달리 보의 인성거동을 증진시키는 효과는 거의 없는 것으로 나타났다. 극한상태에서 강섬유는 균열폭 7 mm까지 하중을 저항하는 것으로 확인되었다. 또한, 기존의 SFRC 보의 휨강도예측모델과 실험결과를 비교한 결과, SFRC 보의 휨강도를 최대 20배까지 과소평가하고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나, TR No. 63 모델(Concrete Society, 2011)은 다른 모델에 비하여 근사하게 휨강도를 예측하는 것으로 확인되었다. 강섬유의 분포에 대한 분석결과, 소형보에서 보다 실제 규모의 보에서 강섬유의 분산도가 훨씬 개선되는 것을 확인하였다.

Seven full-scale exterior beam-column joints were produced and tested under reversible cyclic loads to determine. Two of these seven specimens were produced using ordinary reinforced concrete (RC). Steel Fiber Reinforced Concrete (SFRC) was placed in three different regions of the beams of the rest five specimens to determine the extent of the region where SFRC is the most effective. The extent of the region of SFRC was kept constant at the columns of all five specimens. Three of these five specimens which had one stirrup in the joint, were tested to evaluate the effect of the stirrup on the behavior of the beam-column joint together with SFRC. In production of the specimens with SFRC, all special requirements of the Turkish Earthquake Code related to the spacing of hoops were disregarded. Previous researches reported in the literature indicate that the fiber type, the volume content, and the aspect ratio of steel fibers affect the behavior of beam-column joints produced with SFRC. The results of the present investigation show that the behavior of exterior beam-column joints depends on the extent of the region where SFRC is used and the usage of stirrup in the joint, in addition to the parameters listed in the literature.
