일반적으로 콘크리트는 경제성이 뛰어나지만 낮은 인장강도로 인하여 구조성능상의 한계를 가지고 있기 때문에 콘크리트와 결합된 다양한 합성재료의 특성을 활용한 구조부재의 개발이 진행되고 있다. 강섬유 보강 콘크리트(SFRC)는 높은 인장강도로 인하여 콘크리트의 재료적 단점을 보완할 수 있는 우수한 합성재료로서 알려져 있고, 특히 고강도 콘크리트의 화재시 폭렬현상에 대한 대안으로 여겨지고 있다. 또한, 프리스트레스트콘크리트(PSC) 부재는 장경간 구조에 매우 유리하며 일반철근콘크리트(RC) 부재에 비해 높은 전단강도를 가진다. 따라서, 이 연구에서는 SFRC에 프리스트레스를 적용한 강섬유 보강 프리스트레스트 콘크리트(SFR-PSC)부재의 전단거동을 이해하기 위하여 총 22개의 직접전단실험체를 제작하여 실험을 수행하였다. 또한, 실험결과를 바탕으로 SFR-PSC부재의 균열면에서의 균열전달 구성방정식을 제안하였다. SFR-PSC의 거동특성을 반영하여 제안된 재료관계식은 실험결과와 잘 일치하는 것으로 나타났다.

The development and the main features of an expert system for modeling the requirements of durable concrete in chemical exposure, called the Durable Concrete Advisor for Chemical Exposure (DCACE), are described. The system was developed to help improve the quality of concrete exposed to chemical environment by minimizing mistakes and deficiencies in selecting concrete constituents. Using Kappa-PC expert system shell, an object-oriented model was developed where the rule-based reasoning operates on or across objects. The American Concrete Institute manual of concrete practice was chosen as the main source of knowledge. Other textual sources were also consulted for knowledge acquisition. The major objectives of the research were acquisition and formalization of the relevant knowledge and building an expert system for making durable concrete for chemical exposure regarding sulfate attack, acid attack, seawater attack and carbonation. Similar to most expert systems, this system has explanation facilities, can be incrementally expanded, and has an easy to understand knowledge base. The performance of the system is demonstrated by an example session. The system is user-friendly and can be used as an educational tool.

In order to observe the internal damage of concrete in real time, we introduced acoustic emission nondestructive detecting technology into a series of fracture tests; the test results revealed the whole process that concrete undergoes when it sustains damage that leads to failure, according to the change rules of the acoustic emission parameters. The results showed that both the initiation and unstable loads can be accurately determined using the abrupt change of the acoustic emission rate curves and the turning point of the acoustic emission parameters' accumulative curves. The whole process, from damage to failure, includes five phases, beginning with damage, such as cracking, a stable crack growth process, a critical unstable stage, and unstable propagation. The brittle fracture characteristics of concrete change when steel bars are joined, because the steel bars and the concrete structure bond, which causes an increase in the acoustic emission signals within the fracture process of the reinforced concrete. The unstable propagation stage is also extended. Our research results provide a valid methodology and technical explanations, which can help researchers to monitor the cracking process of concrete structures, in real time, during actual projects.

Today, the booming construction in Ethiopia is leading to an increased demolition of concrete structures whereby these demolished structures are disposed at landfills. The current practice is creating a huge amount of waste which is environmentally unfriendly and is becoming the main source of pollution in communities. This paper discusses the potential use of demolished concrete from site tested specimens as a recycled aggregate material for new structural concrete. The mechanical, physical and chemical properties of RCA are studied to understand the suitability in the production of recycled concrete. Tests including gradation, unit weight, soundness, density, and abrasion will be conducted to assess RCA properties. Since the percentage of RCA govern the strength of concrete, a C25 concrete is mixed by the ratio of 25%, 50% & 100% RCA with and without water reducing admixture and a control mixture composed of natural aggregate. The output of this study will highly impact the growing construction industry and communities in Ethiopia thereby reducing waste, saving cost, conserving natural aggregates, building capacity and setting quality standards.

구조물을 구성하고 있는 콘크리트의 경우, 진동에 대한 감쇠성능이 작아, 구조물에서 발생하는 다양한 진동 문제를 해결하는데 어려움이 있으므로, 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해, 최근 폴리머 콘크리트와 복합구조 댐퍼를 혼합하여 댐핑 성능을 크게 증가시킨 고 감쇠 시스템에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 한편, 폴리머 콘크리트는 배합 시, 시멘트와 물을 사용하지 않아, 경화시간이 매우 짧고, 물리적 특성 및 동특성 등이 매우 우수하여 진동저감이 요구되는 건축구조물에의 폭넓은 활용이 기대되는 구조재료이며, 복합구조 댐퍼는 파이프 관 내부에 위치한 쇠구슬의 충돌에 따른 운동에너지 소산과 점성유체의 에너지 소산 방식을 통해 진동을 저감하는 구조시스템이라 할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 폴리머 콘크리트와 복합구조 댐퍼의 물리적, 동적 특성을 일반 콘크리트와 비교하였는데, 물리적 특성의 경우, 폴리머 콘크리트가 탄성계수 및 강도 특성에서 상당히 우수한 결과를 보였으며, 특히 인장강도는 6.5~10배 이상 큰 차이를 보였다. 또한, 동적 특성의 경우도 폴리머 콘크리트는 일반 콘크리트 대비 동적강성은 25%, 감쇠비는 약 3배 정도 증가하였으며, 복합구조 댐퍼는 동적강성은 비슷한 경향을 보였지만 감쇠비는 3.5배 이상 증가하여, 일반 콘크리트보다 진동 감쇠성능이 우수한 것으로 나타났다.

In this paper, It is presented that concrete-filled composite piers have large energy-absorption capacity and high strength and stiffness on account of mutual confinement between the steel plate and filled-in concrete. Concrete-filled composite columns were tested to failure under axial compression and cyclic lateral loading. Displacement ductility index obtained by using the load-displacement relation has been increased with the increment of filled-in concrete length, while it has been decreased according to the incrementation of width-thickness ratio, slenderness ratio and the number of loading cycles. Structural behavior and ductility index estimated for the seismic design showed that composite piers could be used as a very efficient earthquake-resistant structural member. The response modification factor could be re-evaluated for concrete-filled composite piers.

In this paper, 2D SUB-3D STM approach for analysis and design of 3D structural concrete is presented. In the approach several 2D sub strut-tie models which are representations of compressive and tensile stress flows of each projected plane of 3D structural concrete are utilized in the sketch of a 3D strut-tie model, in the evaluation of effective strengths of compressive concrete struts, and in the verification of geometric compatibility and bearing capacity of critical nodal zones of 3D strut-tie model. To prove the validity and rationality of the suggested approach, the behavior and strength of a prestressed box girder diaphragm tested to failure are evaluated.

This paper investigates on the use of advanced optical measurement methods, i.e. 3D coordinate measurement machines (3D CMM) and stereo-vision digital image correlation (3D DIC), for the mechanical analysis of shear deficient prestressed concrete members. Firstly, the experimental program is elaborated. Secondly, the working principle, experimental setup and corresponding accuracy and precision of the considered optical measurement techniques are reported. A novel way to apply synthesised strain sensor patterns for DIC is introduced. Thirdly, the experimental results are reported and an analysis is made of the structural behaviour based on the gathered experimental data. Both techniques yielded useful and complete data in comparison to traditional mechanical measurement techniques and allowed for the assessment of the mechanical behaviour of the reported test specimens. The identified structural behaviour presented in this paper can be used to optimize design procedure for shear-critical structural concrete members.

Recently, it is required to improve the structural performance, such as durability and earthquake resistant capacity due to the deterioration of structural components in the existing reinforced concrete building with the old aging and transition of design code. Therefore, the new technology should be developed, such as seismic retrofit and improvement of structural performance in the existing reinforced concrete building. This analytical study was performed to verify the effects of basic and reinforcing system in the reinforced concrete building. The analytical results by nonlinear finite element method were compared with the experimental results and the comparisons are judged to be good.

This paper deals with structural behavior of reinforced concrete beams with high strength under fire and fire damaged condition. The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the residual strength of flexural members by exposure time to fire. For this purpose, six beam specimens are fabricated and experimented. Among the specimens, four specimens are exposed to the fire for 60 and 90 minutes and two specimens are control beam that is not exposed to fire. After being cooled in room temperature, the specimens are loaded to the failure. The research result shows that the main variables of the test, concrete cover and exposure time to fire are much influenced on the structural behavior and the residual strength.
