In the present paper a 3D thermo-hygro-mechanical model for concrete is used to study explosive spalling of concrete cover at high temperature. For a given boundary conditions the distribution of moisture, pore pressure, temperature, stresses and strains are calculated by employing a three-dimensional transient finite element analysis. The used thermo-hygro-mechanical model accounts for the interaction between hygral and thermal properties of concrete. Moreover, these properties are coupled with the mechanical properties of concrete, i.e., it is assumed that the mechanical properties (damage) have an effect on distribution of moisture (pore pressure) and temperature. Stresses in concrete are calculated by employing temperature dependent microplane model. To study explosive spalling of concrete cover, a 3D finite element analysis of a concrete slab, which was locally exposed to high temperature, is performed. It is shown that relatively high pore pressure in concrete can cause explosive spalling. The numerical results indicate that the governing parameter that controls spalling is permeability of concrete. It is also shown that possible buckling of a concrete layer in the spalling zone increases the risk for explosive spalling.

고온을 받는 고강도 콘크리트의 폭렬현상을 해석하기 위하여 온도해석, 열응력해석 및 수분이동 해석과 더불어 콘크리트 피복의 박리여부까지 고려하여야 하는 매우 복잡하고 어려운 해석과정이 요구되나 아직 이에 대한 연구가 거의 없는 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 수증기 압력을 온도와 피복두께의 함수로서 정의하고 또한 적합조건을 이용함으로써 피복콘크리트의 박리여부를 예측할 수 있는 실용적인 폭렬해석 알고리즘을 개발하였다. 폭렬해석결과 콘크리트 강도가 증가 할수록 PP섬유량이 적을수록 폭렬현상이 심하게 발생하였으며, 이는 기존의 실험결과와 유사한 경향을 나타내어 향후 고강도 콘크리트 내화설계를 위한 폭렬해석 시 유용하게 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

In this paper an analytical model is presented that addresses the compressive response of short-fiber reinforced concrete members (FRC) with hooked steel fibers. This model is applicable to a wide range of concrete strengths and accounts for the interaction between the cover spalling and the concrete core confinement induced by transverse steel stirrups and also for buckling of longitudinal reinforcing bars. The load-shortening curves generated here analytically fit existing experimental data well.

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.

Normally, with all ensuring the fire resistance structure as a method of setting the required cover thickness to fire, the RC is significantly affected from the standpoint of its structural stability that the compressive strength and elastic modulus is reduced by fire. Especially, high strength concrete and lightweight aggregate concrete is occurred serious fire performance deterioration by explosive spalling. Thus, this study is concerned with explosive spalling of lightweight concrete using structural lightweight aggregate. From the experimental test result, lightweight aggregate concrete is happened explosive spalling. The decrease of cross section caused by explosive spalling made sharp increasing gradient of inner temperature.

The fire resistance performance of 2 RC slabs after exposure to the ISO-834 fire standard without loading has been experimentally investigated. A Comparison is made of the fire resistance performance between RC slabs without PP(polypropylene) fibers and RC slabs with PP fibers. From the fire test results, the presence of PP fibers in RC slabs can reduce spalling and enhance their fire resistance. Until now, the determination of fire resistance of reinforced concrete(RC) slabs has essentially been based on tabulated data. According to ACI 216 code and EUROCODE 2, the design of concrete structures is essentially based on tabulated data for appropriate concrete cover and various fire durations. From the comparison between fire test results and codes, current fire design provisions of codes such as the ACI 216 and the EUROCODE 2 are unconservative for estimating mechanical properties of RC slabs at elevated temperatures.

Normally, the degradation of concrete member exposed to fire is largely dependent on the fire scale and fire condition. With all ensuring the fire resistance structure as a method of setting the required cover thickness to fire, the RC is significantly affected from the standpoint of its structural stability that the compressive strength and elastic modulus is reduced by fire. Thus, this study is concerned with experimentally investigating fire resistance of high strength-light weight concrete. From the test result, high strength-light weight concrete is happened explosive spalling. The decrease of cross section caused by explosive spalling made sharp increasing gradient of inner temperature.

One way to achieve sustainable construction is to reduce concrete consumption by use of more sustainable and higher strength concrete. Modern building codes do not cover the use of ultra-high strength concrete (UHSC) in the design of composite structures. Against such background, this paper investigates experimentally the mechanical properties of steel fibre-reinforced UHSC and then the structural behaviors of UHSC encased steel (CES) members under both concentric and eccentric compressions as well as pure bending. The effects of steel-fibre dosage and spacing of stirrups were studied, and the applicability of Eurocode 4 design approach was checked. The test results revealed that the strength of steel stirrups could not be fully utilized to provide confinement to the UHSC. The bond strength between UHSC and steel section was improved by adding the steel fibres into the UHSC. Reducing the spacing of stirrups or increasing the dosage of steel fibres was beneficial to prevent premature spalling of the concrete cover thus mobilize the steel section strength to achieve higher compressive capacity. Closer spacing of stirrups and adding 0.5% steel fibres in UHSC enhanced the post-peak ductility of CES columns. It is concluded that the code-specified reduction factors applied to the concrete strength and moment resistance can account for the loss of load capacity due to the premature spalling of concrete cover and partial yielding of the encased steel section.

기존 건축물의 내화성능 보강과 화재 후 손상을 입은 구조물의 보수에 사용하기 위해 방화석고보드의 두께, 방화석고보드 적용에 따른 면적증가를 최소화하기 위한 시공방법, 종류 그리고 피복두께를 변화시켜 고강도 콘크리트의 내화성능을 평가하였다. 동일하게 제작한 8기의 고강도 콘크리트 기둥에 ISO-834 화재곡선에 따라 180분 내화시험을 실시하여 종방향철근 온도와 콘크리트의 깊이별 온도분포, 방화석고보드의 형상유지성능, 그리고 폭렬발생여부 등의 내화성능을 평가하였다. 15 mm 2장의 방화석고보드를 붙인 실험체의 경우 시공방법에 상관없이 보드가 탈락하여 폭렬이 발생하였다. 하지만, 두께가 30 mm인 경우에는 방화석고보드의 형상유지력이 손실되지 않으면 폭렬방지 및 온도제어가 가능함을 확인하였다. 폭렬발생으로 콘크리트 피복두께에 따른 효과는 비교할 수 없었으며, 보드 시공법에 따른 내화성능의 차이는 미미하다고 판단되었다.
