Concrete in a CFT(Concrete Filled Tube) column has enhanced strength and ductility because it is triaxially confined by a steel tube. But CFT columns are designed based on linear analyses by stress block method without the confining effect or the nonlinearity of the concrete. These make the significantly difference between the analysis results and the experimental results. Thus in this study, a nonlinear CFT column model was developed considering the confining effect on the concrete in a CFT column. This developed model was verified by experimental results from other researchers and compared with the results of various specifications. With the developed model, parametric studies were performed and the developed column model showed reasonable and accurate results.

This technology is a water leak repair technology using composite materials of concrete structures that block leakage of structures by injecting rapid microcement into the face of underground concrete to block water and injecting flexible glycidylacrylate. Rapid micro cement system repair materials are mixed with fine fibers to improve the flexural sensitivity of the material and to form a layer that blocks stabilized water at the back of the structure by allowing rapid and tight spatial filling during injection with high cohesion The glycidylacrylate repair material can control the expansion rate, and the external stress also has the characteristic that the form of the material is not destroyed or separated, which can also be applied to vibrating induced structures that produce repetitive fatigue loads, and has an effective durability in saline, alkali, acid (chloric acid, sulfuric acid, nitric acid).

The method to evaluate the flexural capacity of steel fiber-reinforced ultra high strength concrete beams was proposed in this study. An experimental program was set up and fourteen beams have been tested. Test results were compared with predictions by design code and by the proposed method, respectively. It was found that predictions by using ACI 544 Committee recommendations considerably underestimate the flexural capacity. Underestimation of flexural capacity resulted from that of tensile stress block. Three-point bending test data of notched prism specimens and their inverse analysis results were incorporated into modeling of tension stress block. The ratio of the predicted to the experimental flexural capacity was in the range of 0.98 to 1.14. The present study represents that the proposed method allows more realistic prediction of flexural capacity of steel fiber-reinforced ultra high strength concrete beams.

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.

This paper presents the details of a novel external prestressing technique for strengthening of concrete members. In the proposed technique, transfer of external force is in shear mode on the end block thus creating a complex stress distribution and the required transverse prestressing force is lesser compared to conventional techniques. Steel brackets are provided on either side of the end block for transferring external prestressing force and these are connected to the anchor blocks by expansion type anchor bolts. In order to validate the technique, an experimental investigation has been carried out on post-tensioned end blocks. Performance of the end blocks have been studied for design, cracking and ultimate loads. Slip and slope of steel bracket have been recorded at various stages during the experiment. Finite element analysis has been carried out by simulating the test conditions and the responses have been compared. From the analysis, it has been observed that the computed slope and slip of the steel bracket are in good agreement with the corresponding experimental observations. A simplified analytical model has been proposed to compute load-deformation of the loaded steel bracket with respect to the end block. Yield and ultimate loads have been arrived at based on force/moment equilibrium equations at critical sections. Deformation analysis has been carried out based on the assumption that the ratio of axial deformation to vertical deformation of anchor bolt would follow the same ratio at the corresponding forces such as yield and ultimate. It is observed that the computed forces, slip and slopes are in good agreement with the corresponding experimental observations.

Seismic design of reinforced concrete (RC) structures requires a certain minimum level of flexural ductility. For example, Eurocode EN1998-1 directly specifies a minimum flexural ductility for RC beams, while Chinese code GB50011 limits the equivalent rectangular stress block depth ratio at peak resisting moment to achieve a certain nominal minimum flexural ductility indirectly. Although confinement is effective in improving the ductility of RC beams, most design codes do not provide any guidelines due to the lack of a suitable theory. In this study, the confinement for desirable flexural ductility performance of both normal- and high-strength concrete beams is evaluated based on a rigorous full-range moment-curvature analysis. An effective strategy is proposed for flexural ductility design of RC beams taking into account confinement. The key parameters considered include the maximum difference of tension and compression reinforcement ratios, and maximum neutral axis depth ratio at peak resisting moment. Empirical formulae and tables are then developed to provide guidelines accordingly.

본 연구는 고성능 철근콘크리트 보의 연성능력에 관한 실험이다. 실험변수로는인장철근비( )와 하중재하형태(1점가력과 2점가력)가 있다. 콘크리트의 실린더 압축강도가 800-900㎏/㎠, 슬럼프 20∼25㎝ 및 슬럼프 플로우가 60∼70㎝인 고성능 철근콘크리트 보의 휨 실험 결과,고성능 콘크리트는 일반강도 콘크리트보다 취성적인 성질을 나타냈으며, 이러한 성질은 고성능 콘크리트의 연성능력을 감소시켰다. 고성능철근콘크리트의 경우 등가응력블록 변수는 MacGregor블록이나 New Zealand 규준을 사용하는 것이 바람직하다. 또한, 극한 곡률을 구할때는 cu= 0.0042값을 사용하는 것이 타당하다고 사료된다. 고성능 철근콘크리트 보의 경우, 현재 ACI 규준의 철근비에서 허용하는 2 및 4 이상의 연성지수 확보는 각각 '/ 0.30 범위에서 정적하중 상태의 경우 철근비가 - '=0.60 b이하에서 가능하고 휨 부재의 모멘트 재분배를 위한 경우는 철근비를 - '=0.33 b이하로 낮추어야 할 것으로 판단된다.

본 연구는 실리카흄을 혼화재료로 사용하여 1200kg/$ extrm{cm}^2$정도의 초고강도 콘크리트를 제조하였으며 이에 대한 재료특성을 실험 및 보부재의 휨거동을 실험을 실시 비교 분석하였다. 재료특성 실험으로는 기본적인 강도 시험, 파괴음 측정에 의한 AE실험 그리고 수은압입법에 의한 세공실험을 실시하였다. 초고강도 콘크리트의 재료특성치는 ACI 363의 고강도 콘크리트 재료특성 결가보다 크게 나타났으며 압축강도와 미세공극량은 선형적으로 비례하였다. 보부재의 휨특성을 파악하기 위해 인장철근비 변화, 전단보강근의 유무 및 철근 표면형상의 변화 등을 실험인자로 하였으며 각각의 현상을 비교분석함으로써 균열성상에 따른 하중-변위 관계, 중립축 이동에 따른 부재거동 및 응력블록의 변화에 관하여 비교 고찰하였다. 초고강도 콘크리트 사용한 보부재의 경우 중립축 상승으로 단면의 압축영역은 매우 작아져 급격히 압축파괴되는 경향을 보였으며 응력블록 형태는 삼각형의 분포를 보였다.

In this paper, flexure behavior of steel fiber reinforcement ultra high performance cementations composites (SFR-UHPCC) has been analyzed by equivalent stress block. Pulling-out tensile force of steel fiber with concrete matrix was induced. An appropriate flexure evaluation formula, i.e. semi-analytical formula, was established based on rectangular cross section beam for comparing with shear capacity and ultimate load of SFR-UHPCC beam. Finally, the semi-analytical formula has been simplified for the convenience of design work. Experimental results and theoretical shear strength are shown to compare with the formula proposed by this paper. The theory formula has a good prediction of failure type of SFR-UHPCC.
