In this paper, a reaction-diffusion model of carbonation process in self-compacting concrete (SCC) was realized with a consideration of multi-field couplings. Various effects from environmental conditions, e.g. ambient temperature, relative humidity, carbonation reaction, were incorporated into a numerical simulation proposed by ANSYS. In addition, the carbonation process of SCC was experimentally investigated and compared with a conventionally vibrated concrete (CVC). It is found that SCC has a higher carbonation resistance than CVC with a comparable compressive strength. The numerical solution analysis agrees well with the test results, indicating that the proposed model is appropriate to calculate and predict the carbonation process in SCC. The parameters sensitivity analysis also shows that the carbon dioxide diffusion coefficient and moisture field are essentially crucial to the carbonation process in SCC.

In this paper, the medium strength self-compacting concrete with simple mix design method was manufactured and investigated about the properties of flowability and strength. Two types of binders like as fly-ash and RP(rock powder) were contained to the SCC in order to obtain the target medium strength of 270-350kgf/$cm^2$. The experimental tests about slump-flow, reaching time to the slump-flow of 50cm, V-funnel and U-box were carried out in accordance with the specified by the Japanese Society of Civil Engineering(JSCE). The mechanical properties such as compressive strength, splitting tensile strength and static modulus of elasticity were checked with the requirements specified by KS.

In this paper, enhancement of corrosion and chloride resistance of high performance self compacting concrete (SCC) through incorporating nanosilica into the binder has been investigated. For this purpose, different mixtures were designed with different amounts of silica fume and nano silica admixtures. Different binder contents were also investigated to observe the binder content effect on the concrete properties. Corrosion behavior was evaluated by chloride penetration and resitivity tests. Water absorption and capillary absorption were also measured as other durability-related properties. The results showed that water absorption, capillary absorption and Cl ion percentage decreased rather significantly in the mixtures containing admixtures especially blend of silica fume and nano silica. By addition of the admixtures, resistivity of the SCC mixtures increased which can lead to reduction of corrosion probability.

자기충전 콘크리트의 거푸집 측압에 대한 예측 모델 개발을 목표로 연구를 진행 중에 있다. 현재까지 거푸집 측압의 발현과 시간에 따른 변화를 일으키는 세 가지 메커니즘으로 고체입자의 재배열, 자유수의 이동 제한, 거푸집 변형의 회복지연을 제안하였고, 이들 각각에 대한 수학적 모델링이 이루어졌다. 이를 바탕으로 실제 거푸집 측압의 계산 방법을 개발하고, 모델에 사용된 변수에 대한 parametric study를 통해 예측모델의 성능(predictive capability)을 검증하였다. 그 결과 예측 모델이 포함하고 있는 변수들을 통해 실제의 측압 거동을 충분히 반영할 수 있다는 것을 확인하였다.

This paper presents the application of artificial neural network (ANN) to predict deep beam deflection using experimental data from eight high-strength-self-compacting-concrete (HSSCC) deep beams. The optimized network architecture was ten input parameters, two hidden layers, and one output. The feed forward back propagation neural network of ten and four neurons in first and second hidden layers using TRAINLM training function predicted highly accurate and more precise load-deflection diagrams compared to classical linear regression (LR). The ANN's MSE values are 40 times smaller than the LR's. The test data R value from ANN is 0.9931; thus indicating a high confidence level.

Self compacting concrete (SCC) has good flowability, passability and segregation resistance because of voluminous cementitious material & high coarse aggregate to fine aggregate ratio, and high free water availability. But these factors make it highly susceptible to shrinkage. Fibers are known to reduce shrinkage in concrete mixes. Until now for conserving cement, only pozzolanic materials are admixed in concrete to yield a SCC. Hence, this study compares the use of wollastonite micro fiber (WMF), a cheap pozzolanic easily processed raw mineral fiber, and flyash in yielding economical SCC for rigid pavement. Microsilica was used as a complimentary material with both admixtures. Since WMF has large surface area ($827m^2/kg$), is acicular in nature; therefore its use in yielding SCC was dubious. Binary and ternary mixes were constituted for WMF and flyash, respectively. Paste mixes were tested for compatibility with superplasticizer and trials were performed on a normal concrete mix of flexural strength 4.5 MPa to yield SCC. Flexural strength test and restrained shrinkage test were performed on those mixes, which qualified self compacting criteria. Results revealed that WMF admixed pastes have high water demand, and comparable setting times to flyash mixes. Workability tests showed that 20% WMF with microsilica (5-7.5%) is efficient enough in achieving SCC and higher flexural strength than normal concrete at 90 days. Also, stress rate due to shrinkage was lesser and time duration for final strain was higher in WMF admixed SCC which encourages its use in yielding a SCC than pozzolanic materials.

본 연구는 결합재에 따른 자기충전 콘크리트의 현장 최적배합비의 선정 및 이에 따른 현장 시공성과 경제성을 평가하기 위한 것이다. 결합재로 슬래그 함량이 46.5%인 슬래그계와 $C_2S$함량이 51.4%인 벨라이트계, 그리고 석회석 미분말이 사용되었다. 물-시멘트비를 대상으로 유동성, 충전성, 재령별 압축강도를 측정하여 현장 최적배합조건을 선정하였으며, 이에 따른 평가항목으로 응결시간, 블리딩, 침하깊이, 단열온도 상승시험을 실시하였다. 현장 시공성 및 경제성 평가를 위하여 현장시공에 따른 콘크리트 물량과 재료비를 분석하였다. 실험결과, 유동성 및 압축강도에 만족하는 물-시멘트비는 슬래그계 41.0%, 벨라이트계 51.0%이며, 응결시간 및 블리딩량 종료시간은 슬래그계가 빨랐지만, 블리딩량은 슬래그계가 큰 것으로 나타났다. 단열온도 상승량 및 상승속도는 벨라이트계가 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 또한 배처 플랜트의 최적 배합시간은 75초가 적합하였으며 생산량은 $100{\sim}110m^3/hr$이었다. 재료비 및 콘크리트 물량에서 벨라이트계가 슬래그계보다 각각 14.0% 및 3.3% 절감되는 것으로 나타났기 때문에, 재령별 압축강도 발현을 제외하면 벨라이트계 자기충전 콘크리트가 시공성 및 경제성 등에서 우수하였다.

This paper aims to investigate the effects of replacing cement with ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS) in self compacting concrete in the fresh and hardened state. The performance of SCC in moderate climate is well investigated but few studies are available on the effect of hot environment. In this paper, the effect of initial water-curing period and curing conditions on the performance of SCC is reported. Cement was substituted by GGBFS by weight at two different levels of substitution (15% and 25%). Concrete specimens were stored either in a standard environment (T=$20^{\circ}C$, RH=100%) or in the open air in North Africa during the summer period (T=35 to $40^{\circ}C$; R.H=50 to 60%) after an initial humid curing period of 0, 3, 7 or 28 days. Compressive strength at 28 and 90 days, capillary absorption, sorptivity, water permeability, porosity and chloride ion penetration were investigated. The results show that the viscosity and yield stress are decreased with increasing dosage of GGBFS. The importance of humid curing in hot climates in particular when GGBFS is used is also proved. The substitution of cement by GGBFS improves SCC durability at long term. The best performances were observed in concrete specimens with 25% GGBFS and for 28 days water curing.

본 연구에서는 폐콘크리트에서 발생하는 순환잔골재가 구조용 재료로서 많은 문제점이 있음을 인지하고 순환잔골재가 포함하고 있는 미분말이 강도증진 효과와 유동성을 증가 시킬 수 있다는 특성을 이용하여 자기충전 콘크리트(Self-Compacting Concrete, 이하 SCC로 표기)에 활용하게 되었다. 즉 순환잔골재가 갖는 미분말이 자기충전 콘크리트 특성인 고강도(40 MPa 이상)와 높은 유동성(JSCE 2등급)을 발현하기에 적당하여 폐콘크리트에서 발생하는 순환잔골재를 일반잔골재 대비 순환잔골재의 혼입률을 25%씩 증가시켜, 총 5수준으로 달리하여 자기충전 콘크리트에 적용하였으며, 이에 따라 굳지 않은 콘크리트의 물리적 특성, 경화한 콘크리트의 역학적 및 내구 특성을 검토하여 순환잔골재를 자기충전 콘크리트 재료로서 활용 가능성을 검토하고자 한다. 그 결과 물리적, 역학적 및 내구특성의 5수준 배합비율 중 일반잔골재 대비 순환잔골재는 50% 혼입률까지 적용가능하다는 결론을 얻었으며, 그 이상의 혼입률에서는 오히려 성능저하가 발생한다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 또한 실생활에서의 적용 가능성을 알아보기 위한 실구조물의 적용성이 차후 검토 되어야 할 것으로 판단된다.
