변형률 속도 $100s^{-1}{\sim}10000s^{-1}$ 범위에서 사용되는 홉킨스바(SHPB)는 재료의 동석 거동 특성을 확인하기 위해 가장 널리 사용되는 장치이다. SHPB 시험은 입력봉 및 전달봉에서 측정된 변형률을 사용하여 시험편의 응력, 변형률 및 변형률 속도를 얻을 수 있는 응력파 전달 이론을 기반으로 한다. 본 연구에서는 고 변형률 속도에서 폴리프로필렌 자기보강 복합재료(SRPP)의 동적 특성을 얻기 위해 직접 SHPB를 설계 및 제작하였다. 또한 본 연구를 통해 제작된 SHPB에서 얻은 변형률 데이터의 신뢰성 확보를 위하여 Digital Image Correlation (DIC)를 통해 얻은 변형률 데이터와의 비교를 진행하였다. 이는 SRPP 시편의 고속 압축 시험을 통해 이루어 졌으며 SHPB를 통하여 얻은 데이터와 DIC를 통해 얻은 변형률 데이터의 유사함을 확인하였고 이를 통하여 장비의 신뢰성을 검증하였다.

본 연구에서는 강섬유보강 콘크리트의 시공성 및 품질향상 방안의 일환으로 고유동 자기충전 콘크리트(HSCC)에 형상비 및 길이를 달리한 강섬유(SF)를 혼입한 콘크리트를 제조하여 강섬유보강 일반콘크리트(CC)와 유동 및 강도 특성을 비교 검토하였다. 실험결과 SF를 혼입한 HSCC는 높은 유동성 및 점성의 영향으로 SF 자체의 뭉침현상이 발생하지 않아 강섬유보강 CC의 경우보다 유동성능 및 통과성능이 크게 향상 되었으며, 동일한 압축강도 범위에서 SF를 혼입하지 않은 HSCC의 경우보다 쪼갬 및 휨강도는 SF의 형상비와 관계없이 길이가 길어질수록 증가하는 경향이 나타났다. 이상의 실험결과를 통하여 강섬유를 혼입한 HSCC를 현장 적용할 경우 기존에 사용되고 있는 강섬유보강 CC의 경우보다 시공성 및 품질 향상이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

양생조건의 차이가 섬유보강 시멘트계 복합재료(FRCC)의 자기치유에 미치는 영향을 검토하기 위해, 건습 반복시험 및 옥외 폭로시험을 실시하여 FRCC의 자기치유 효과에 대해 검토했다. 투수계수 및 마이크로스코프에 의한 균열조사에 의해 FRCC의 자기치유 효과에 대해 평가한 결과, 수중에의 침지시간이 길고, 건조온도가 낮은 경우 균열의 자기치유 효과는 큰 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한, 자기치유에 있어서의 수밀성능은 습윤 시간에 크게 영향을 받는 것을 확인했다. 한편, 실환경 조건에 있어서 강우에 의한 수분 공급에 의해 자기치유는 진전하는 것을 확인했으며, 혼화재료를 적절히 병용하여 사용하는 것으로 균열의 자기치유 성능을 향상할 수 있다고 판단된다.

The Self Compacting Concrete, SCC is the new generation type of concrete which is not needed to be compacted by vibrator and it will be compacted by its own weight. Since SCC is a new innovation and also the high strength self compacting concrete, HSSCC behavior is like a brittle material, therefore, understanding the strength effect on the serviceability performance of reinforced self compacting concretes is critical. For this aim, first the normal and high strength self compacting concrete, NSSCC and HSSCC was designed. Then, the serviceability performance of reinforced connections consisting of NSSCC and HSSCC were investigated. Twelve reinforced concrete connections (L = 3 m, b = 0.15 m, h = 0.3 m) were simulated, by this concretes, the maximum and minimum reinforcement ratios ${\rho}$ and ${\rho}^{\prime}$ (percentage of tensile and compressive steel reinforcement) are in accordance with the provision of the ACI-05 for conventional RC structures. This study was limited to the case of bending without axial load, utilizing simple connections loaded at mid span through a stub (b = 0.15 m, h = 0.3 m, L = 0.3 m) to simulate a beam-column connection. During the test, concrete and steel strains, deflections and crack widths were measured at different locations along each member. Based on the experimental readings and observations, the cracked moment of inertia ($I_{cr}$) of members was determined and the results were compared with some selective theoretical methods. Also, the flexural crack widths of the members were measured and the applicability for conventional vibrated concrete, as for ACI, BS and CSA code, was verified for SCCs members tested. A comparison between two Codes (ACI and CSA) for the theoretical values cracking moment is indicate that, irrespective of the concrete strength, for the specimens reported, the prediction values of two codes are almost equale. The experimental cracked moment of inertia $(I_{cr})_{\exp}$ is lower than its theoretical $(I_{cr})_{th}$ values, and therefore theoretically it is overestimated. Also, a general conclusion is that, by increasing the percentage of ${\rho}$, the value of $I_{cr}$ is increased.

This paper presents a novel concept of healing some of the damages in wind turbine blades (WTBs) such as cracks and delamination. This is achieved through an inherent functioning autonomous repairing system. Such wind turbine blades have the benefit of reduced maintenance cost and increased operational period. Previous techniques of developing autonomous healing systems uses hollow glass fibres (HGFs) to deliver repairing fluids to damaged sites. HGFs have been reported with some limitations like, failure to fracture, which undermines their further usage. The self-healing technique described in this paper represents an advancement in the engineering of the delivery mechanism of a self-healing system. It is analogous to the HGF system but without the HGFs, which are replaced by multiple hollow channels created within the composite, inherently in the FRP matrix at fabrication. An in-house fabricated NACA 4412 WTB incorporating this array of network hollow channels was damaged in flexure and then autonomously repaired using the vascular channels. The blade was re-tested under flexure to ascertain the efficiency of the recovered mechanical properties.

Self-Compacting Concrete (SCC) has been originally developed in Japan to offset a growing shortage of skilled labors, is a highly workable concrete, which is not needed to any vibration or impact during casting. The utilizing of fibers in SCC improves the mechanical properties and durability of hardened concrete such as impact strength, flexural strength, and vulnerability to cracking. The purpose of this investigation is to determine the effect of steel fibers on mechanical performance of traditionally reinforced Self-Competing Concrete beams. In this study, two mixes Mix 1% and Mix 2% containing 1% and 2% volume friction of superplasticizer are considered. For each type of mixture, four different volume percentages of 60/30 (length/diameter) fibers of 0.0%, 1.0%, 1.5% and 2% were used. The mechanical properties were determined through compressive and flexural tests. According to the experimental test results, an increase in the steel fibers volume fraction in Mix 1% and Mix 2% improves compressive strength slightly but decreases the workability and other rheological properties of SCC. On the other hand, results revealed that flexural strength, energy absorption capacity and toughness are increased by increasing the steel fiber volume fraction. The results clearly show that the use of fibers improves the post-cracking behavior. The average spacing of between cracks decrease by increasing the fiber volume fraction. Furthermore, fibers increase the tensile strength by bridging actions through the cracks. Therefore, steel fibers increase the ductility and energy absorption capacity of RC elements subjected to flexure.

The formation of TiC and $Al_2O_3$ particles based on the self-combustion reaction of the $Al-TiO_2-C-CuO$ system in an Al alloy melt was investigated. With an adequate amount of CuO in the system, a spontaneous reaction occurred within the Al alloy melt at $850^{\circ}C$ and thereafter was self-maintained, producing an Al matrix composite reinforced with thermodynamically stable TiC and $Al_2O_3$ particles. TiC and $Al_2O_3$ particles contributed to a considerable increase in the strength and stiffness, demonstrating the feasibility of this method as a practical application for structural parts.

The seismic performance of traditional steel frame-shear wall structures was significantly improved by the application of self-centering steel-reinforced concrete (SRC) wall-panel structures in the steel frames. This novel resilience functionality can rapidly restore the structure after an earthquake. The presented steel frame with steel-reinforced concrete self-centering wall-panel structures (SF-SCW) was validated, indicating its excellent seismic performance. The seismic design method based on bear capacity cannot correctly predict the elastic-plastic performance of the structure, especially certain weak floors that might be caused by a major fracture. A four-level seismic performance index, including intact function, continued utilization, life safety, and near-collapse, was established to achieve the ideal failure mode. The seismic design method, based on structural displacement, was proposed by considering performance objectives of the different seismic action levels. The pushover analysis of a six-floor SF-SCW structure was carried out under the proposed design method and the results showed that this six-floor structure could achieve the predicted failure mode.

The main purpose of this paper is to study the effects of initial stress, gravity, anisotropy and porosity on the propagation of shear wave (SH-waves) in a fiber-reinforced layer placed over a porous media. The frequency equations in a closed form have been derived for SH-waves by applying suitable boundary conditions. The frequency equations have been expanded and approximated up to $2^{nd}$ order of Whittaker's function. It has been observed that the SH-wave velocity decreases as width of fiber-reinforced layer increases. However, with the increase of initial stress, gravity parameter and porosity, the phase velocity increases. The results obtained are in perfect agreement with the standard results investigated by other relevant researchers.
