Recently, as the building structure has been larger, higher, longer and more specialized, the demand of material with high-strength concrete for building has been increasing. In this research, silica-fume was used as an admixture in order to get a high-strength concrete. From the test result, High-strength concrete with cylinder strength of 1,200kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$ in 28-days was produced and tested. The static test was carried out to measure the ultimate load, the initial load of flexural and diagonal cracking, crack patterns and fracture modes. The load versus strain and load versus deflection relations were obtained from the static test. The relation of cycle loading to deflections on the mid-span, the crack propagation and the modes of failure according to cycle number, fatigue life and S-N curve were observed through the fatigue test. Based on the fatigue test results, high-strength reinforced concrete beams failed to 57~66 percent of the static ultimate strength. Fatigue strength about two million cycles from S-N curves was certified by 60 percent of static ultimate strength.

Components manufactured from composite materials are frequently subjected to superimposed mechanical and thermal loadings during their operating service. Both types of loadings may cause fracture and failure of composite structures. When composite cross-ply laminates of type [$0_m/90_n]_s$ are subjected to uni-axial tensile loading, different types of damage are set-up and developed such as matrix cracking: transverse and longitudinal cracks, delamination between disoriented layers and broken fibers. The development of these modes of damage can be detrimental for the stiffness of the laminates. From the experimental point of view, transverse cracking is known as the first mode of damage. In this regard, the objective of the present paper is to investigate the effect of transverse cracking in cross-ply laminate under thermo-mechanical degradation. A Finite Element (FE) simulation of damage evolution in composite crossply laminates of type [$0_m/90_n]_s$ subjected to uni-axial tensile loading is carried out. The effect of transverse cracking on the cross-ply laminate strength under thermo-mechanical degradation is investigated numerically. The results obtained by prediction of the numerical model developed in this investigation demonstrate the influence of the transverse cracking on the bearing capacity and resistance to damage as well as its effects on the variation of the mechanical properties such as Young's modulus, Poisson's ratio and coefficient of thermal expansion. The results obtained are in good agreement with those predicted by the Shear-lag analytical model as well as with the obtained experimental results available in the literature.

인장에 취약한 단점을 가지고 있는 시멘트계 복합재료인 모르타르와 콘크리트의 인장성능을 보강하기 위한 다양한 방법이 사용되고 있으며, 주요한 한가지 방법으로 인장에 강한 섬유를 혼입하는 섬유보강 콘크리트가 꾸준히 연구사용되어 왔다. 최근에는 재료의 균질성(homogeneous)을 높이고 보강재로 사용되는 섬유의 성능을 최대한 이끌어내기 위하여 굵은 골재를 제거하고 마이크로 섬유를 사용하는 마이크로 섬유보강 모르타르에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 마이크로 섬유보강 모르타르는 배합조건에 따라서 다중균열이 발생하기 때문에 성능평가의 지표로써 휨인성 만을 사용하기에는 부족함이 있다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 마이크로 섬유보강 모르타르의 휨인성과 균열 특성을 고찰하여, 균열특성을 나타낼 수 있는 측정치에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 실험에는 PVA섬유와 강섬유가 사용되었으며, 휨실험을 통하여 섬유의 종류 및 혼입량에 따른 휨인성과 균열관련 측정치의 상관관계를 규명하였다. 그 결과 마이크로 섬유보강 모르타르의 특성을 대표할 수 있는 측정치로는 휨인성과 섬유혼입량, 그리고 균열개수 등이 적절한 것으로 나타났다.

The use of high-strength concrete (HSC) in precast concrete segmental bridges (PCSBs) can minimize the superstructure geometry and reduce beam weight, which can accelerate the construction speed. Dry joints between the segments in PCSBs introduce discontinuity and require special attention in design and construction. Cracks in dry joints initiate more easily than those in epoxy joints in construction period or in service. Due to the higher rupture strength of HSC, the higher cracking resistance can be achieved. In this study, shear behavior of dry joints in PCSBs was investigated by experiments, especially focusing on cracking resistance and shear strength of HSC dry joints. It can be concluded that the use of HSC can improve the cracking resistance, shear strength, and ductility of monolithic, single-keyed and three-keyed specimens. The experimental results obtained from tests were compared with the AASHTO 2003 design provisions. The AASHTO 2003 provision underestimates the shear capacity of single-keyed dry joint C50 and C70 HSC specimens, underestimates the shear strength of three-keyed dry joint C70 HSC specimens, and overestimates the shear capacity of three-keyed dry joint C50 HSC specimens.

라텍스개질콘크리트(LMC)는 일반 콘크리트에 비하여 인장강도와 내구성 등 개선된 재료 특성을 가지고 있으며, 따라서 교량 데크 슬래브의 생애주기를 증대시키기 위하여 교면 포장재로 많이 사용되고 있다. 이러한 사용에는 LMC 포장부와 콘크리트 모반 사이의 우수한 부착성능이 전제된다. 한편 교량 데크 슬래브의 구조적 성능을 향상시키기 위하여 고성능 콘크리트(HPC) 슬래브가 현재 사용되고 있다. 이 연구에서는 일반 콘크리트(NSC) 또는 HPC 교량 데크 슬래브에 타설된 LMC 포장부의 부착거동을 모사하기 위하여, 유한요소해석을 이용한 변수 연구가 수행되었다. 이 연구에서 콘크리트 모반의 수축, 강성, 균열강도와 LMC 포장부의 두께가 콘크리트-LMC 포장부의 균열 발생에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 수치해석연구 결과, HPC 슬래브는 높은 수축량과 강성으로 인하여 콘크리트-LMC 교면 포장부에 균열을 유발할 가능성이 높은 것으로 사료된다.

In this study, the stress-strain response and the cracking behaviors of ITO film on a PET substrate are investigated. The cracking behaviors of ITO thin films deposited on a thermoplastic semi-crystalline polymer developed for flexible display applications was investigated by means of tensile experiments equipped with an electrical measurement apparatus and an in-situ optical microscope. Electrical resistance increased gradually in the elastic-to-plastic transition region of the stress strain curves and cracks formed. Numerous cracks were found in this region, and the increase of the resistance was linked to the cracking of ITO thin films. Upon loading, the initial cracks perpendicular to the tensile axis were observed at about 1% of the total strain. They propagated to the entire sample width as the strain increased. The spacing between the horizontal cracks is thought to be determined by the fracture strength and the thickness of the ITO film as well as by the interfacial strength between the ITO and PET. The effect of the strain rate on the cracking behavior was also investigated. The crack density increased as the strain increased. The spacing between the horizontal cracks (perpendicular to the stress axis) increased as the strain rate decreased. The increase of the crack density as the strain rate decreased can be attributed to the higher fraction of the plastic strain to the total strain at a given total strain. The higher critical strain for the onset of the increase in the resistance and the crack initiation of the ITO/PET with a thinner ITO film (300 ohms/sq.) suggests a higher strength of the thinner ITO film.

Delayed hydride cracking (DHC) is an important failure mechanism for Zircaloy tubes in the demanding environment of nuclear reactors. The threshold stress intensity factor, $K_{IH}$, and critical hydride length, $l_C$, are important parameters to evaluate DHC. Theoretical models of them are developed for Zircaloy tubes undergoing non-homogenous temperature loading, with new stress distributions ahead of the crack tip and thermal stresses involved. A new stress distribution in the plastic zone ahead of the crack tip is proposed according to the fracture mechanics theory of second-order estimate of plastic zone size. The developed models with fewer fitting parameters are validated with the experimental results for $K_{IH}$ and $l_C$. The research results for radial cracking cases indicate that a better agreement for $K_{IH}$ can be achieved; the negative axial thermal stresses can lessen $K_{IH}$ and enlarge the critical hydride length, so its effect should be considered in the safety evaluation and constraint design for fuel rods; the critical hydride length $l_C$ changes slightly in a certain range of stress intensity factors, which interprets the phenomenon that the DHC velocity varies slowly in the steady crack growth stage. Besides, the sensitivity analysis of model parameters demonstrates that an increase in yield strength of zircaloy will result in a decrease in the critical hydride length $l_C$, and $K_{IH}$ will firstly decrease and then have a trend to increase with the yield strength of Zircaloy; higher fracture strength of hydrided zircaloy will lead to very high values of threshold stress intensity factor and critical hydride length at higher temperatures, which might be the main mechanism of crack arrest for some Zircaloy materials.

A high strength aluminum alloy bolt (A7050, T7 temper treatment) has been developed by the authors. The bolt has a small grain size in the whole area of the bolt because of the large equivalent strain followed by thermo-mechanical treatment. As the bolt made of A 7050 has a risk of stress corrosion cracking, each grain should be strengthened the grain inside than the grain boundary in order to improve the stress corrosion cracking resistance. It has been confirmed that the nano-indentation hardness at each grain inside increased with the increasing equivalent strain by thermo-mechanical treatment processing.
