This paper presents a prediction and simulation method of tensile stress-strain curves of Engineered Cementitious Composites (ECC). For this purpose, the bridging stress and crack opening relations were obtained by the fiber bridging constitutive law which is quantitatively able to consider the fiber distribution characteristics. And then, a multi-linear model is employed for a simplification of the bridging stress and crack opening relation. In addition, to account the variability of material properties, randomly distributed properties drawn from a normal distribution with 95% confidence are assigned to each element which is determined on the basis of crack spacing. To consider the variation of crack spacing, randomly distributed crack spacing is drawn from the probability density function of fiber inclined angle calculated based on sectional image analysis. An equation for calculation of the crack spacing that takes into quantitative consideration the dimensions and fiber distribution was also derived. Subsequently, a series of simulations of ECC tensile stress-strain curves was performed. The simulation results exhibit obvious strain hardening behavior associated with multiple cracking, which correspond well with test results.

콘크리트구조설계기준에서는 균열 검토시 설계의 간편함 때문에 철근 간격을 제한하는 간접 균열 제어 방법을 사용하고 있다. 뿐만 아니라 구조설계기준 부록에서는 균열폭을 산정하는 직접 균열 제어 방법도 제시하고 있다. 그러나 이러한 두 방법을 통한 균열 검증 결과에는 모순이 있다. 이 연구에서는 구조설계기준, 구조설계기준 부록 및 Frosch 제안식을 통해 최대 철근 간격을 산정하고, 콘크리트 압축강도, 단면 높이 그리고 피복 두께에 따른 차이를 분석하였다. 연구 결과 구조설계기준 본문과 구조설계기준 부록에 따른 최대 철근 간격에는 큰 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 직접 균열 제어와 간접 균열 제어 사이에 일관성을 확보할 수 있는 합리적인 균열 검증 모델을 제안하였다.

This research analyzed the factors for crack generation and proposed the recommended construction methods for the efficient crack control of underground RC box structures under the roadway. The selected main factors were: details of contraction joints, ratio of crack control rebars in longitudinla direction, and placement of flyash concrete. These factors were tested on the actual structures and the significance of each factor was analyzed, The results show that the flyash concrete placement and the inducting minor cracks in a certain direction by adopting contraction joints are practical and efficient methods to control cracks. The significance of crack generating factors increases as the sectional loss of contraction joint spacing increase. It was recommeded that the sectional loss should be higher than 20 percent to maximize the crack generating effects. It was not possible to verify the effect of crack control rebar spacing, but it was estimated that the ratio of crack control rebar should be increased to minimize cracks.

Self-compacting concrete (SCC) can be placed and compacted under its own weight with little or no compaction. It is cohesive enough to be handled without segregation or bleeding. Modifications in the mix design of SCC may significantly influence the material's mechanical properties. Therefore, it is vital to investigate whether all the assumed hypotheses about conventional concrete (CC) are also valid for SCC structures. The aim in this paper is to develop analytical models for flexural cracking that describe in appropriate detail the observed cracking behaviour of the reinforced concrete flexural one way slabs tested. The crack width and crack spacing calculation procedures outlined in five international codes, namely Eurocode 2 (1991), CEB-FIP (1990), ACI318-99 (1999), Eurocode 2 (2004), and fib-Model Code (2010), are presented and crack widths and crack spacing are accordingly calculated. Then, the results are compared with the proposed analytical models and the measured experimental values, and discussed in detail.

This paper deals with the estimation of the maximum flexural crack widths using minimum crack spacing for reinforced concrete members. The proposed method utilizes the conventional crack and bond-slip theories as well as bonding transfer length and effects of creep and shrinkage between the reinforcement and concrete. An analytical equation for the estimation of the maximum flexural crack width is formulated as a function of mean bond stress. The validity, accuracy and efficiency of the proposed method are established by comparing the analytical results with the experimental data and the major code specifications (e.g., ACI, CEB-FIP Model code, Eurocode 2, etc.). The analytical results of analysis presented in this paper indicate that the proposed method can be effectively estimated the maximum flexural crack width of the reinforced concrete members.

A finite element model (FEM) for predicting early-age behavior of reinforced concrete (RC) bridge deck slabs with fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) bars is presented. In this model, the shrinkage profile of concrete accounted for the effect of surrounding conditions including air flow. The results of the model were verified against the experimental test results, published by the authors. The model was verified for cracking pattern, crack width and spacing, and reinforcement strains in the vicinity of the crack using different types and ratios of longitudinal reinforcement. The FEM was able to predict the experimental results within 6 to 10% error. The verified model was utilized to conduct a parametric study investigating the effect of four key parameters including reinforcement spacing, concrete cover, FRP bar type, and concrete compressive strength on the behavior of FRP-RC bridge deck slabs subjected to restrained shrinkage at early-age. It is concluded that a reinforcement ratio of 0.45% carbon FRP (CFRP) can control the early-age crack width and reinforcement strain in CFRP-RC members subjected to restrained shrinkage. Also, the results indicate that changing the bond-slippage characteristics (sand-coated and ribbed bars) or concrete cover had an insignificant effect on the early-age crack behavior of FRP-RC bridge deck slabs subjected to shrinkage. However, reducing bar spacing and concrete strength resulted in a decrease in crack width and reinforcement strain.

온도와 습도 변화에 의해 수축될 경우 콘크리트 포장 슬래브에는 인장응력이 생기고 이로 인해 무작위 균열이 발생한다. 일정한 간격으로 줄눈을 설치하고 균열을 유도함으로써 슬래브에 발생하는 인장응력을 줄이고 무작위 균열을 최소화할 수 있다.줄눈간격이 너무 넓으면 무작위 균열, 줄눈부 파손, 하중전달률 저하가 일어나고, 반대로 줄눈간격이 너무 좁으면 공사비 증가와 승차감 저하가 유발된다. 본 연구에서는 콘크리트 포장의 역학적-경험적 줄눈간격 설계방법을 개발하였다. 이를 위하여 우수한 공용성을 보이는 콘크리트 포장 구간 중 구조적 및 환경적으로 가장 취약한 구간을 찾고 그 구간에 대한 유한요소해석으로 설계기준강도를 결정하였다. 기존 연구결과를 참고하여 하중전달률이 급격히 낮아질 때의 줄눈폭을 허용줄눈폭으로 결정하였다. 유한요소해석으로 계산된 설계대상구간의 최대인장응력이 설계기준강도를 초과하지 않는 최대줄눈간격을 찾아냈다. 그리고 이 줄눈간격으로 예측된 최대줄눈폭을 허용줄눈폭과 비교하였다. 본 연구에서 개발된 방법을 설계 중인 함양-울산 고속도로의 두 공구에 적용해 보았다. 기존보다 넓은 8.0m의 줄눈간격으로 시험시공된 구간과 동일한 줄눈간격이 본 연구의 설계방법으로 계산되었다. 공용 6년 후 측정된 시험시공 구간의 매우 낮은 균열률로 본 연구에서 개발된 설계방법이 검증되었다.

The objective of this study is to elucidate what governs delayed hydride cracking (DHC) in Zr-2.5Nb tubes by correlating the striation spacings with DHCV(DHC Velocity). To this end, DHC tests were conducted on the compact tension specimens taken from the Zr-2.5Nb tubes at different temperatures ranging from 100 to $300^{\circ}C$ with a 3 to 6 data set at each test conditions. The compact tension specimens were electrolytically charged with 27 to 87 ppm H before DHC tests. After DHC tests, the striation spacings and DHCV were determined with the increasing the test temperature and yield strength. The striation spacing and DHCV increased as a function of yield $strength^2$ and the temperature. Since the plastic zone size ahead of the crack tip can be represented by ${\sim}(K_{IH}/{\sigma}_{Y})^2$, we conclude that the striation spacing is governed by the plastic zone size which in turn determines a gradient of hydrogen concentration at the crack tip. The relationship between the plastic zone size and the striation spacing was validated through a complimentary experiment using double cantilever beam specimens. Two main factors to govern DHCV of Zr-2.5Nb tubes are concluded to be hydrogen diffusion and a hydrogen concentration gradient at the crack tip that are controlled by temperature and yield strength, respectively. The activation energy of DHCV in the Zr-2.5Nb tubes is discussed on the basis of temperature dependency of hydrogen diffusion and the striation spacing.
