초고성능 콘크리트는 높은 강도와 유동성을 갖는 우수한 재료 특성을 나타내는 콘크리트이다. 그러나 고연성 시멘트 복합체에 비하여 낮은 연성을 나타낸다. 이 연구에서는 강섬유와 마이크로섬유의 조합이 초고성능 콘크리트의 인장거동에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 이를 위하여 강섬유와 폴리에틸렌, 폴리비닐알코올, 현무암섬유 조합에 따라 4가지 초고성능 콘크리트 배합을 결정하였고, 인장거동을 평가하기 위하여 직접인장 실험을 수행하였다. 또한 마이크로섬유가 제조과정에서 의도하지 않은 과도한 기포를 생성하는지를 확인하기 위하여 밀도실험을 수행하였다. 실험결과 인장강도가 높은 폴리에틸렌섬유는 초고성능 콘크리트의 인장거동을 향상시키는데 효과적임을 확인하였고, 현무암섬유는 초고성능 콘크리트의 균열강도 및 인장강도를 증가시키는데 효과적임을 확인하였다. 또한 마이크로섬유가 의도하지 않은 기포를 생성하지 않는다는 것도 확인하였다.

The failure phenomenon of Dual Basalt Fibers Reinforced Epoxy Composites(DFC) under tensile load was studied using acoustic emission(AE) technique. AE amplitude and AE energy were mainly associated with the internal microscopic failure mechanism of DFC specimen, such as fiber fracture, matrix cracking, and fiber/matrix debonding. Fiber failures in the DFC specimens were distinguishable by showing the highest AE energy amplitude. They were dependant on the fiber diameters. Matrix cracking was determined from the relatively lower AE amplitude and AE energy, whereas fiber/matrix debonding could not be successfully isolated. AE method, however, can be applicable to the fragmentation method for interfacial strength(IFSS) in DFC specimens with adjusting the threshold to isolate fiber breaks from matrix crack and debonding.

Biochar is a novel carbon based material derived from waste that shows promising properties for several applications. In this paper we investigate its potential use as a low cost, greener alternative to commonly used aggregates employed to enhance the neutron shielding performance of concrete. Monte Carlo simulations are performed with the PHITS code to estimate the neutron attenuation of blank and biochar-reinforced concrete exposed to high energy neutrons. We find that the shielding performance of concrete with 15% biochar is comparable with commonly used materials such as Boron Carbide at 20% and exceeds that of Basalt fibers with the same concentration, making these composites an interesting greener alternative to current solutions. A combination of biochar and heavier fillers also show extremely promising performance.
