The search for a design that meets both performance and safety, with minimal cost and lesser environmental impact was always the goal of structural engineers. In general, the design of conventional reinforced concrete structures is an iterative process based on rules of thumb established from the personal experience and intuition of the designer. However, such procedure makes the design process exhaustive and only occasionally leads to the best solution. In such context, this work presents the development and implementation of a mathematical formulation for obtaining optimal sections of reinforced concrete columns subjected to uniaxial flexural compression, based on the verification of strength proposed by the Brazilian standard NBR 6118 (ABNT 2007). To minimize the cost of the reinforced concrete columns, the Simulated Annealing optimization method was used, in which the amount and diameters of the reinforcement bars and the dimensions of the columns cross sections were considered as discrete variables. The results obtained were compared to those obtained from the conventional design procedure and other optimization methods, in an attempt to verify the influence of resistance class, variations in the magnitudes of bending moment and axial force, and material costs on the optimal design of reinforced concrete columns subjected to uniaxial flexural compression.

콘크리트의 투수성은 내구성에 커다란 영향을 미치는 요인이 된다. 콘크리트의 강도가 커질수록 투수성은 적어지므로 재래적인 방법으로는 투수 실험이 어렵다. 본 연구에서는 콘크리트의 투수성능향상을 위하여 투수성이 작은 콘크리트에 효과적으로 사용할 수 있는 새로운 투수기법을 연구하고, 투수성이 매우 낮은 초저투수성 콘크리트를 개발하는데 주목적을두고 있다. 이를 위하여 주요 실험변수로서 시멘트의 종류, 단위시멘트량, 혼화재 종류 및 첨가량 그리고 굵은 골재의 최대치수를 주요 변수로 하여 투수성 시험과 가도시험을 포괄적으로 수행하였다. 본 시험 결과 콘크리트의 강도가 증가함에 따라서 콘크리트의 내투수성은 향상됨을 알 수 있으며, 내투수성을 증진하기 위해서는 단위시멘트량의 증가보다는 적절한 혼화재 사용과 그 혼입량을 조절하는 것이 더욱 효과적임을 알 수 있었다. 보통배합의 일반 콘크리트는 투수성이 매우 높은 반면 본 연구에서 제안된 콘크리트는 실리카흄등의 적정 혼입으로 일반 콘크리트의 1/100이하의 매우 낮은 투수성을 보여 초저투수성 콘크리트의 개발이 가능하였다. 본 연구는 앞으로 콘크리트 구조물의 내구성 향상을 위한 중요한 토대를 구축하고 이에 따른 기초자료를 제공할 수 있는 것으로 사료된다.

Assessment of the compressive strength of concrete plays a major role during formwork removal and in the prestressing process. In concrete, temperature changes occur due to hydration which is an influencing factor that decides the compressive strength of concrete. Many methods are available to find the compressive strength of concrete, but the maturity method has the advantage of prognosticating strength without destruction. The temperature-time factor is found using a LM35 temperature sensor through the IoT technique. An experimental investigation was carried out with 56 concrete cubes, where 35 cubes were for obtaining the compressive strength of concrete using a universal testing machine while 21 concrete cubes monitored concrete's temperature by embedding a temperature sensor in each grade of M25, M30, M35, and M40 concrete. The mathematical prediction model equation was developed based on the temperature-time factor during the early age compressive strength on the 1^st, 2^nd, 3^rd and 7^th days in the M25, M30, M35, and M40 grades of concrete with their temperature. The 14^th, 21^st and 28^th day's compressive strength was predicted with the mathematical predicted equation and compared with conventional results which fall within a 2% difference. The compressive strength of concrete at any desired age (day) before reaching 28 days results in the discovery of the prediction coefficient. Comparative analysis of the results found by the predicted mathematical model show that, it was very close to the results of the conventional method.

이 논문에서는 기존 PHC말뚝의 전단성능을 향상시키기 위하여 전단철근과 내부충전 콘크리트로 보강한 ICP 말뚝을 제안하였다. 허용응력 설계법을 바탕으로 전단철근 및 내부충전 콘크리트를 설계하였으며, 이를 바탕으로 2종류의 시험체를 제작하여 KS규격에 따라 전단시험을 수행하였다. 전단시험 결과, KS규격에 의거한 시험방법으로는 전단파괴를 얻을 수 없었으나, 제안된 방법에 의한 전단보강효과는 충분히 검증할 수 있었다. ICP말뚝 시험체의 전단 저항력은 기존 PHC말뚝에 비하여 평균 2배 이상으로 증진되는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 축방향 철근을 추가 보강한 ICP말뚝 시험체의 전단 저항력은 기존 PHC말뚝에 비하여 평균 2.5배 이상 증진되었다. 한편 허용응력설계법에 따라 결정된 ICP 말뚝의 허용 전단력에 비하여 시험으로 측정된 전단강도는 약 2.9 이상의 안전율을 갖는 것으로 나타났다.

This study investigates filed application in Daebul Free Trade Zone of a flowing method using drying shrinkage-reducing superplasticizer(SRS) and an insulating curing method using double bubble sheets. Test showed that fresh concrete satisfied target slump and air content. A structure adding SRS significantly decreased the total bleeding capacity and accelerated the setting time. As for the crack occurrence, the structure applying the flowing method and double bubble sheets simultaneously exhibited the most favorable crack endurance, while conventional concrete showed more than 1mm size of crack in overall, and a structure applying only the flowing method partially presented micro crack. For the area proportion of crack occurrence, the structure using the double bubble sheets indicated 9.8%, while others applying flowing method was 28%, compared with 100% of conventional one. Standard curing specimens had about $3{\sim}6%$ higher compressive strength than that of specimens cured at adjacent field construction. In addition, using SRS improved about $5{\sim}7MPa$, than that of conventional concrete at 91 days elapse.

Safety, resilience and comfort of pedestrian were assessed by the British Pendulum Test and SB/GB factor test at 8 kinds of sidewalk pavement. Sidewalk paving materials were normal concrete, porous concrete, concrete block, soil concrete, asphalt, rubber chip/resin mixture, wood chip/resin mixture and floor tile. In addition, a survey was conducted to investigate the perception of pedestrians on the sidewalk paving material. As a result, while the skid resistance value was measured in the most 60BPN above, the floor tile showed a low value of about 30BPN. The ratios of SB factor to GB factor of the elastic pavements(rubber/resin mixture and wood chip/resin mixture) appeared to be relatively large when compared with those of the conventional sidewalks. The survey showed that respondents perceived as more safe and comfortable elastic pavements compared to conventional pavements. Approximately 50% of respondents answered that hardened soil pavement was the most environmentally friendly.

In conventional methods, the availability of floating crane has determined the size of a concrete caisson. However, this paper introduces a new method for larger caisson production that make it possible to complete caisson fabrication and launch out without use of floating crane. The new method carries out multi-step fabrication of caisson and horizontal transfer of caisson on a single casting bed which consists of collapsible soffit form, trough, aero go watercaster system or low frictional PTFE added jacking system, half-submergible floating dock. To make the new method successfully launched, the static and dynamic analysis is carried out to obtain the stability of caisson launching and experimental research is conducted in evaluating friction occurred between PTFE pad and steel track. Lastly, the comparison of the new method and the conventional method are detailed. With significant benefits in construction costs reduction and construction time reduction, this new method in this paper would be recommended for extensive application in large port and harbor construction projects.

This study investigates the effect of a curing condition on the temperature history and strength development of concrete under -10℃. Combination of various curing methods was applied, i.e. a conventional form was combined with compressed insulation, heat panel and heat cable. Results showed that the concrete cured by a single use of a conventional form resulted in serious deterioration of early strength development. However, other concretes cured by the proposed curing methods maintained the temperature of the concretes between 5 and 20℃, and thus resulted in no frost damage.

Recent the free-formed architecture is smearing as a trend with the development of the digital equipment and technologies. The development of new method based on digital technology is required for the free-formed structure,, because the conventional construction methods are limited to shorten the construction period and to ensure the construction quality. Particularly, the development of the new method for the free-formed concrete structure is important. In this study, the developed method of the T-shape lightweight steel fabricated using CNC can control the geometries of the free-formed concrete structure based on the digital design. Also, new method is effective to ensure the precision of the construction and economic than the conventional construction methods.
