This paper proposes a model for simulating concrete shrinkage taking into account aggregate restraint. In the model, concrete is regarded as a two-phase material based on shrinkage property. One is paste phase which undergoes shrinkage. Another is aggregate phase which is much more volumetrically stable. In the concrete, the aggregate phase is considered to restrain the paste shrinkage by particle interaction. Strain compatibility was derived under the assumption that there is no relative macroscopic displacement between both phases. Stresses on both phases were derived based on the shrinking stress of the paste phase and the resisting stress of the aggregate phase. Constitutive relation of paste phase was adopted from the study of Yomeyama, K. et al., and that of the aggregate phase was adopted from the author's particle contact density model. The equation for calculating concrete shrinkage considering aggregate restraint was derived from the equilibrium of the two phases. The concrete shrinkage was found to be affected by the free shrinkage of the paste phase, aggregate content and the stiffness of both phases. The model was then verified to be effective for simulating concrete shrinkage by comparing the predicted results with the autogeneous and drying shrinkage test results on mortar and concrete specimens.

Previous studies have shown that the drying shrinkage of recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) is greater than that of natural aggregate concrete (NAC). Drying shrinkage is the fundamental reason for the cracking of concrete, and tensile creep caused by the restraint of drying shrinkage plays a significant role in the cracking because it can relieve the tensile stress and results in the delay of cracking occurrence. However, up till now, all research has been focusing on the compressive creep of RAC. Therefore, in this study, a uniaxial restrained shrinkage cracking test was executed to investigate the tensile creep properties caused by the restraint of drying shrinkage of RAC. The mechanical properties, such as compressive strength, tensile splitting strength, and Young's modulus of RAC were also investigated in this study. The results confirmed that the tensile creep of RAC caused by the restraint of shrinkage was about 20-30 % larger than that of NAC.

시멘트 경화체에서 건조수축은 경화체내의 수분량이 감소하므로써 체적이 변화하게 되며, W/C가 높고 페이스트의 함유량이 많을수록 건조수축이 커진다고 알려져 있다. ECC의 경우, 굵은 골재를 포함하지 않기 때문에, 콘크리트에 비해서 더 많은 건조수축이 발생하게 된다. 만약, 양생중인 ECC에 구속이 작용할 경우, 일반 콘크리트 보다 큰 인장 응력이 발생하게 되며, ECC는 인장성능이 중요한 재료이므로 이러한 구속인장응력이 역학적 인장거동에 주는 영향을 고려해야 한다. 본 연구에서는 구속에 의해 발생한 응력이 ECC의 인장거동에 미치는 영향을 분석하고자 하였고, 구속여부를 달리하여 양생한 시험체에 직접인장 시험을 수행하여 역학적인 특성 변화를 관찰하였다. 그 결과, 구속응력에 따른 인장거동의 차이를 관찰하였고, 그 원인을 분석하였다.

To investigate the axial compressive performance of the recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) filled glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) tube and profile steel composite columns, static loading tests were carried out on 18 specimens under axial loads in this study, including 7 RAC filled GFRP tube columns and 11 RAC filled GFRP tube-profile steel composite columns. The design parameters include recycled coarse aggregate (RCA) replacement percentage, profile steel ratio, slenderness ratio and RAC strength. The failure process, failure modes, axial stress-strain curves, strain development and axial bearing capacity of all specimens were mainly analyzed in detail. The experimental results show that the GFRP tube had strong restraint ability to RAC material and the profile steel could improve the axial compressive performance of the columns. The failure modes of the columns can be summarized as follow: the profile steel in the composite columns yielded first, then the internal RAC material was crushed, and finally the fiberglass of the external GFRP tube was seriously torn, resulting in the final failure of columns. The axial bearing capacity of the columns decreased with the increase of RCA replacement percentage and the maximum decreasing amplitude was 11.10%. In addition, the slenderness ratio had an adverse effect on the axial bearing capacity of the columns. However, the strength of the RAC material could effectively improve the axial bearing capacity of the columns, but their deformability decreased. In addition, the increasing profile steel ratio contributed to the axial compressive capacity of the composite columns. Based on the above analysis, a formula for calculating the bearing capacity of composite columns under axial compression load is proposed, and the adverse effects of slenderness ratio and RCA replacement percentage are considered.

순환골재는 천연골재의 고갈문제를 해결하고 고부가가치를 창출할 수 있는 등 건설, 환경산업 부분에서 상당한 효용성을 갖고 있다. 그러나 순환골재의 활용을 위한 사회적 기반이 정립되고 다양한 연구가 진행되었음에도 불구하고, 천연골재에 비해 품질이 떨어지는 문제 때문에 이를 사용한 콘크리트 구조물은 매우 적은 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 순환골재에 의한 콘크리트 성능저하를 보완하기 위한 방안으로서 강섬유를 혼입한 콘크리트의 역학적 특성 및 변형 특성을 검토하였다. 그 결과, 순환골재를 혼입한 콘크리트는 천연골재만을 사용한 콘크리트(plain)에 비해 낮은 압축강도 및 탄성계수를 나타내었으나, 강섬유의 혼입에 의해 plain과 동등 수준의 성능을 확보할 수 있었다. 또한, 건조수축 및 크리프계수에 있어서도 강섬유의 내부구속효과, 수분 이동 구속효과 및 강도의 증진 등에 기인하여 혼입률 0.5 Vol.%의 범위에서 plain과 유사한 거동을 나타낼 수 있었다. 따라서 순환골재 콘크리트를 적극적으로 활용하기 위한 방안으로서 강섬유의 혼입은 매우 효과적일 것으로 판단된다.
