The behavior of concrete containing waste glass as a replacement of cement or aggregate was studied previously in the most of researches, but the present investigation focuses on the recycling of waste glass powder as a substitute for silica fume in high strength concrete (HSC). This endeavor deals with the efficiency of using waste glass powder, as an alternative for silica fume, in the flexural capacity of HSC beam. Thirteen members with dimensions of 0.3 m width, 0.15 m depth and 0.9 m span length were utilized in this work. A comparison study was performed considering HSC members and hybrid beams fabricated by HSC and conventional normal concrete (CC). In addition to the experiments on the influence of glass powder on flexural behavior, numerical analysis was implemented using nonlinear finite element approach to simulate the structural performance of the beams. Same constitutive relationships were selected to model the behavior of HSC with waste glass powder or silica fume to show the matching between the modeling outputs for beams made with these powders. The results showed that the loading capacity and ductility index of the HSC beams with waste glass powder demonstrated enhancing ultimate load and ductility compared with those of HSC specimens with silica fume. The study deduced that the recycled waste glass powder is a good alternative to the pozzolanic powder of silica fume.

This study discusses a hypothetical method for tracking the propagation damage of Carbon Reinforced Fiber Plastic (CRFP) components underneath vibration fatigue. The High Cycle Fatigue (HCF) behavior of composite materials was generally not as severe as this of admixture alloys. Each fissure initiation in metal alloys may quickly lead to the opposite. The HCF behavior of composite materials is usually an extended state of continuous degradation between resin and fibers. The increase is that any layer-to-layer contact conditions during delamination opening will cause a dynamic complex response, which may be non-linear and dependent on temperature. Usually resulted from major deformations, it could be properly surveyed by a non-contact investigation system. Here, this article discusses the scanning laser application of that vibrometer to track the propagation damage of CRFP components underneath fatigue vibration loading. Thus, the study purpose is to demonstrate that the investigation method can implement systematically a series of hypothetical means and dynamic characteristics. The application of the relaxation method based on numerical simulation in the Artificial Intelligence (AI) Evolved Bat (EB) strategy to reduce the dynamic response is proved by numerical simulation. Thermal imaging cameras are also measurement parts of the chain and provide information in qualitative about the temperature location of the evolution and hot spots of damage.

Filling materials poured into precast member joint are subjected to restraint stress by the precast member and joint reinforcement. The induced stress will likely cause cracks at early ages and performance degradation of the entire structure. To prevent these issues and design reasonable joints, it is very important to analyze and evaluate the restrained shrinkage cracks of filling materials at various restraint conditions. In this study, a new time zero-that defines the shrinkage development time of a filling material-is proposed to calculate the accurate amount of shrinkage. The tensile stresses and strengths at different ages were compared through the ring test (AASHTO PP34) to evaluate the crack potential of the restrained filling materials at various restraint conditions. The mixture which contained an expansive additive and a shrinkage reducing agent exhibited high resistance to shrinkage cracking owing to the high-drying shrinkage compensation effect. The high-performance, fiber-reinforced cement composite, and ultra-high-performance, fiber-reinforced cement composite yielded very high resistance to shrinkage and cracking owing to the pull-out property of steel fibers. To this end, multiple nonlinear regression analyses were conducted based on the test results. Accordingly, a modified tensile stress equation that considered both the geometric shape of the specimen and the intrinsic properties of the material is proposed.

The main objective of this article is to investigate the response of different fiber metal laminates subjected to low velocity impact experimentally and numerically via finite element method (FEM). Hence, two different fiber metal laminate (FML) samples (GLARE/CARALL) are made of 7075-T6 aluminum sheets and polymeric composites reinforced by E-glass/carbon fibers. In order to study the responses to the low velocity impacts, samples are tested by drop weight machine. The projectiles are released from 1- and 1.5-meters height were the speed reaches to 4.42 and5.42 meter per second and the impact energies are measured as 6.7 and 10 Joules. In addition to experimental study, finite element simulation is done and results are compared. Finally, a detailed study on the maximum deflection, delamination and damages in laminates and geometry's effect of projectiles on the laminate response is done. Results show that maximum deflection caused by spherical projectile for GLARE samples is more apparent in comparison with the CARALL samples. Moreover, the maximum deflection of GLARE samples subjected to spherical projectile with 6.7 Joules impact energy, 127% increases in comparison with the CARALL samples in spite of different total thickness.

In this paper, the energy absorption capability of a novel cruciform composite lattice structure was evaluated through the simulation of compression tests. For this purpose, several test samples of Polylactic acid cellular reinforced with continuous glass fibers were prepared for compression testing using the additive manufacturing method of material extrusion. Using a conventional path design for material extrusion, multiple debonding is probable to be occurred at the joint regions of adjacent cells. Therefore, an innovative printing path design was proposed for the cruciform lattice structure. Afterwards, quasistatic compression tests were performed to evaluate the energy absorption behaviour of this structure. A finite element model based on local material property degradation was then developed to verify the experimental test and extend the virtual test method. Accordingly, different combinations of unit cells' dimensions using the design of the experiment were numerically proposed to obtain the optimal configuration in terms of the total absorbed energy. Having brilliant energy absorption properties, the studied cruciform lattice with its optimized unit cell dimensions can be used as an energy absorber in crashworthiness applications. Finally, a cellular structure will be suitable with optimal behavior in crush load efficiency and high energy absorption.

철근 부식을 해결하기 위해 FRP에 관한 연구가 증가하고 있다. CFRP는 경량화로 시공성이 용이하며, 내식성 및 내화학성이 뛰어나 이형철근 대체제로 지목되고 있다. 하지만 CFRP는 섬유와 레진을 압착하여 만들어져 열에 취약한 단점이 존재한다. 이러한 CFRP에 관한 연구는 미비한 실정이며, 본 연구에서는 고온 가열 이후 CFRP와 GFRP의 부착강도에 관한 연구를 실시하였다. 그 결과 규사코팅 CFRP와 리브형 CFRP, GFRP 모두 비슷한 부착강도 발현을 보였다.

As concrete dominates the construction industry, alternatives to traditionally used steel reinforcement are being sought. This study explored the suitability of carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) as a substitute within rigid frames, focusing on its impact on section ductility and overall structural durability against seismic events. However, current design guidelines address quasi-static loads, leaving a gap for dynamic or extreme circumstances. Our approach included multiscale simulations, parametric study, and energy dissipation analyses, drawing upon a unique adaptation of modified compression field theory. In our efforts to optimize macro and microparameters to improve yield strength, manage brittleness, and govern failure modes, we also recognized the potential of CFRP's high corrosion resistance. This characteristic of CFRP could significantly reduce the frequency of required repairs, thereby contributing to enhanced durability of the structures. The research reveals that CFRP's durability and seismic resistance are attributed to plastic joints within compressed fibers. Notably, CFRP can impart ductility to structural designs, effectively balancing its inherent brittleness, particularly when integrated with quasi-brittle materials. This research challenges the notion that designing bendable components with carbon fiber reinforcement is impractical. It shows that creating ductile bending components with CFRP in concrete is feasible despite the material's brittleness. This funding overturns conventional assumptions and opens new avenues for using CFRP in structural applications where ductility and resilience are crucial.

본 연구에서는 후크형 강섬유와 PVA 섬유의 혼합비에 따른 하이브리드 섬유보강 시멘트 복합체의 인장거동에 미치는 변형속도의 효과에 대하여 평가하기 위하여, 후크형 강섬유와 PVA 섬유를 각각 1.5+0.5, 1.0+1.0, 0.5+1.0vol.%의 혼합비로 보강한 하이브리드 섬유보강 시멘트 복합체를 제작하였다. 그 결과, 후크형 강섬유보강 시멘트 복합체는 변형속도가 증가함에 따라 섬유와 매트릭스의 부착력이 향상되어 인장강도, 변형능력 및 파괴인성이 크게 향상되었으며, 후크형 강섬유 주변의 매트릭스에 발생하는 마이크로 균열에 의해 직선형으로 인발되는 섬유의 수가 감소하고, 인장강도 점 이후의 응력 저하가 급격하게 발생하였다. 한편, PVA 섬유는 변형속도 $10^{-6}/s$에서는 끊어지는 파괴거동이 나타났으나, 변형속도 $10^1/s$에서는 변형속도가 증가함에 따라 섬유가 인발되는 파괴거동에 의해 다중균열 개수 및 변형능력이 감소하였다. 후크형 강섬유 1.5vol.%, PVA 섬유 0.5vol.%를 혼입한 시험체(HSF1.5PVA0.5)는 PVA가 후크형 강섬유의 주변 매트릭스에 발생하는 마이크로 균열을 억제하여 후크형 강섬유의 인발저항성능을 향상시키기 때문에 가장 높은 인장강도를 나타내었으며, 변형능력 및 파괴인성의 DIF가 크게 향상되었다. 또한, 변형속도 $10^1/s$에서는 후크형 강섬유의 인발저항성능의 증가로 인하여 직선형으로 인발되는 섬유의 수가 증가하기 때문에 인장강도 점 이후의 응력 저하가 감소하여 파괴인성의 시너지는 양의 값을 나타내었다.

강섬유보강 콘크리트는 일반 콘크리트에 비해 휨성능이 월등히 우수하지만, 아직까지 국내에는 이에 대한 명확한 배합설계 지침이 확립되어 있지 않은 상황이다. 또한, 강섬유를 2종이상 동시에 혼입하여 사용하는 하이브리드 섬유보강 콘크리트에 대해서는 최근에 들어서야 그 연구가 시작되었으며, 이에 대해서도 배합에 대한 구체적인 지침이 확립되어 있지 않다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 새로운 최적화 기법인 화음탐색법을 이용하여 강섬유 및 하이브리드 섬유보강 콘크리트의 최적배합 프로그램을 개발하였으며, 검증 실험을 수행하여 프로그램의 신뢰도를 높였다. 이는 현장 시험 배합횟수의 감소 및 배합설계의 편의성 향상 등에 도움이 될 것으로 기대된다. 또한, 실험 결과 동일한 강섬유 혼입률이라 하더라도, 하이브리드 섬유보강 콘크리트가 일반 강섬유보강 콘크리트보다 휨강도 및 휨인성 모두 우수한 것으로 나타났으며 이를 프로그램 상에 추가 반영하였다. 이는 세계적으로도 아직 연구 초기 단계에 있는 하이브리드 섬유보강 콘크리트의 휨 특성을 파악하는데에도 향후 연구의 발판이 될 것으로 생각되며, 지속적인 실험 및 연구로 보완이 된다면 보다 더 정밀도를 높일 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
