This paper presents the micro-mechanical modeling for predicting concrete behavior under compressive loading. The model is able to represent the heterogeneities in the microstructure up to three phases, i.e., aggregate particles, matrix and interfaces. The smeared crack concept based on non-linear fracture mechanics is implemented in order to formulate the constitutive relation for each component. The splitting tensile strength is considered as a fracture criterion for cracking in micro-level. The finite element method is employed to simulate the model based on plane stress condition by using quadratic triangular elements. The validation of the model is verified by comparing with the experimental results. The influence of tensile strength from both aggregate and matrix phases on the concrete compressive strength is demonstrated. In addition, a guideline on selecting appropriate tensile strength for each phase to obtain specified concrete compressive strength is also presented.

In evaluating the ultimate strength of a section for a reinforced concrete flexural member, the effect of member length is not usually considered, even though the strength tends to decrease with increase of member length. In this paper the influence of specimen length on flexural compressive strength of concrete was evaluated. For this purpose, a series of C-shaped specimens subjected to axial compression and bending moment were tested using four different length-to-depth ratios (from 1,2,3 and 4) of specimens with compressive strength of 590 kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$. Results indicate that for the region of h/c <3.0 the reduction in flexural compressive strength with increase of length-to-depth ratios was apparent. A model equation was depth of an equivalent rectangular stress block was larger than that by ACI. It was also founded that the effect of specimen length on ultimate strain was negligible. Finally more general model equation is also suggested.

최근 개발중인 초고강도 또는 강섬유보강 초고강도 콘크리트는 현행 설계기준으로 설계할 경우 그 안전성에 대해 별도의 실험 또는 해석적 증명이 필요하다. 이를 위한 철근콘크리트 부재의 상세 해석에는 응력-변형률 관계의 정의가 필요하다. 이를 위해 본 연구에서는 현행 설계기준의 제한 범위를 벗어나는 강섬유보강 초고강도 콘크리트의 압축응력하에서의 기계적 특성을 정의하였다. 80~200 MPa 의 압축강도를 보유한 분체 콘크리트 매트릭스에 강섬유를 혼입하였으며, 섬유의 보강량에 따른 압축강도의 증진률에 대해 분석하고 압축강도에 따른 탄성계수와 최대응력 발현시의 변형률에 대해 조사 분석하였다. 넓은 콘크리트 압축강도 범위내에서 사용성 확보를 위해 기존 연구결과로부터 수집된 압축강도 증진률, 탄성계수, 최대응력 발현시 변형률의 크기에 대한 결과를 활용하여 기존 추정식의 평가를 수행하였다. 또한, 강섬유가 보강되어 있지 않은 매트릭스에 대한 기존 추정식 중 정확도가 높은 식을 기반으로, 강섬유의 영향을 반영할 수 있는 새로운 추정식을 위한 계수를 도출하였다.

Reinforced concrete structures are vulnerable to high temperature conditions such as those during a fire. At elevated temperatures, the mechanical properties of concrete and reinforcing steel as well as the bond between steel rebar and concrete may significantly deteriorate. The changes in the bonding behavior may influence the flexibility or the moment capacity of the reinforced concrete structures. The bond strength degradation is required for structural design of fire safety and structural repair after fire. However, the investigation of bonding between rebar and concrete at elevated temperatures is quite difficult in practice. In this study, bond constitutive relationships are developed for normal and high-strength concrete (NSC and HSC) subjected to fire, with the intention of providing efficient modeling and to specify the fire-performance criteria for concrete structures exposed to fire. They are developed for the following purposes at high temperatures: normal and high compressive strength with different type of aggregates, bond strength with different types of embedment length and cooling regimes, bond strength versus to compressive strength with different types of embedment length, and bond stress-slip curve. The proposed relationships at elevated temperature are compared with experimental results.

본 연구는 천연 굵은 골재 50%를 재생골재로 대치시켜 제조한 재생콘크리트를 일반 구조물에 사용할 수 있도록 성능을 향상시키기 위한 연구의 일환으로 수행되었다. 쇄석골재 사용시의 배합설계 방법으로 콘크리트를 제조하였고 일반적인 수중양생으로 공시체를 야생하였다. 재생콘크리트의 성능향상을 목적으로 유동화제와 플라이애쉬를 첨가하였다. 압축강도 등 각종 강도와 파괴인성 등을 측정하여 이를 일반콘크리트와 비교한 결과 재생콘크리트는 강도와 탄성계수가 낮고 변형율이 크며 파괴인성도 낮았다. 그러나 유동화제의 사용으로 물-시멘트비를 35%까지 낮추므로써 슬럼프 $16{\pm}2$cm에서 일반 구조물에 소요 압축강도보다 높은$225kg/cm^2$이상의 압축강도를 얻었다. 하지만 재생콘크리트를 일반 구조물에 사용을 위해서는 탄성계수와 변형율에 대한 향상이 필요하다. 또한 플라이애쉬의 사용은 장기 강도 증진 효과를 보이는 반면 강도 저하를 유발했다.

Standard compression tests of steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) cylinders are conducted to formulate compressive stress versus compressive strain relationship of SFRC. Axial pullout tests of SFRC specimens are also conducted to explore its tensile stress strain relationship. Cover concrete spalling and reinforcement buckling models developed originally for normal reinforced concrete are modified to extend their application to SFRC. Thus obtained monotonic material models of concrete and reinforcing bars in SFRC members are combined with unloading/reloading loops used in the cyclic models of concrete and reinforcing bars in normal reinforced concrete. The resulting path-dependent cyclic material models are then incorporated in a finite-element based fiber analysis program. The applicability of these models at member level is verified by simulating cyclic lateral loading tests of SFRC columns under constant axial compression. The analysis using the proposed SFRC models yield results that are much closer to the experimental results than the analytical results obtained using the normal reinforced concrete models are.

In this study, we manufactured the ultra-high strength concrete using mineral admixture which is easily workable. From the test results of compressive strength, It is concluded that the proper replacement ratio of silica fume should not exceed to 10% and the replacement of slag is more effective that the replacement of fly ash to gain very high compressive strength. Thermal stress analysis is conducted to find the way of controlling the thermal crack of ultra-high strength concrete. As results of thermal stress analysis, it was found that reducing placing temperature of concrete(pre-cooling) is effective to reduce thermal crack and placing concrete in high air temperature is more effective than placing concrete in low air temperature.

The dynamic compressive behavior of concrete after freezing and thawing tests are investigated by using the split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) technique. The stress-strain curves of concrete under dynamic loading are measured and analyzed. The setting numbers of freeze-thaw cycles are 0, 25, 50, and 75 cycles. Test results show that the dynamic strength decreases and peak strain increases with the increasing of freeze-thaw cycles. Based on the Weibull distribution model, statistical damage constitutive model for dynamic stress-strain response of concrete after freeze-thaw cycles was proposed. At last, the fragmentation test of concrete subjected to dynamic loading and freeze-thaw cycles is carried out using sieving statistics. The distributions of the fragment sizes are analyzed based on fractal theory. The fractal dimensions of concrete increase with the increasing of both freeze-thaw cycle and strain rate. The relations among the fractal dimension, strain rates and freeze-thawing cycles are developed.

This paper presents the axial compressive behaviour of stub concrete-filled columns with elliptical stainless steel and carbon steel hollow sections. The finite element method developed via ABAQUS/Standard solver was used to carry out the simulations. The accuracy of the FE modelling and the proposed confined concrete stress-strain model were verified against experimental results. A parametric study on stub concrete-filled columns with various elliptical hollow sections made with stainless steel and carbon steel was conducted. The comparisons and analyses presented in this paper outline the effect of hollow sectional configurations to the axial compressive behaviour of elliptical concrete-filled steel tubular columns, especially the merits of using stainless steel hollow sections is highlighted.
