이 논문은 72m 초고강도 콘크리트 섬유보강 콘크리트 프리스트레스트 박스거더의 비선형 거동을 해석하는 3차원 해석방법을 제시하였다. UHPC재료의 비선형 거동을 나타내기 위해 콘크리트 손상소성(CDP)모델을 채택하였다. 제시된 응력-변형률 관계 곡선에 근거한 수치해석 모델은 50m UHPC 프리스트레스트 박스 거더 휨실험결과로 검증하였다. 검증된 해석모델을 사용하여 72m UHPC 프리스트레스트 박스거더의 휨거동을 파악하는데 적용하였다. 각 하중단계에 따른 하중 변위관계, 응력상태 및 연결부분 상세를 해석하였다. 하중-변위관계 곡선과 설계하중 및 극한하중 비교 결과는 UHPC 박스거더 휨거동을 해석하는 적절한 수단으로써 비선형 유한요소법의 적용성을 입증하고 있다.

Tunnels have become an indispensable part of metro cities. Blast resistance design of tunnel has attracted the attention of researchers due to numerous implosion event. Present paper deals with the non-linear finite element analysis of rock tunnel having shear zone subjected to internal blast loading. Abaqus Explicit schemes in finite element has been used for the simulation of internal blast event. Structural discontinuity i.e., shear zone has been assumed passing the tunnel cross-section in the vertical direction and consist of Highly Weathered Granite medium surrounding the tunnel. Mohr-Coulomb constitutive material model has been considered for modelling the Highly Weathered Granite and the shear zone material. Concrete Damage Plasticity (CDP), Johnson-Cook (J-C), Jones-Wilkins-Lee (JWL) equation of state models are used for concrete, steel reinforcement and Trinitrotoluene (TNT) simulation respectively. The Coupled-Eulerian-Lagrangian (CEL) method of modelling for TNT explosive and air inside the tunnel has been adopted in this study. The CEL method incorporates the large deformations for which the traditional finite element analysis cannot be used. Shear zone orientations of 0°, 15°, 30°, 45°, 60°, 75° and 90°, with respect to the tunnel axis are considered to see their effect. It has been concluded that 60° orientation of shear zone presents the most critical situation.

Ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) is produced using high amount of cementitious materials, very low water/cementitious materials ratio, fine-sized fillers, and steel fibers. Due to the dense microstructure of UHPC, it possesses very high strength, elasticity, and durability. Besides that, the UHPC exhibits high ductility and fracture toughness due to presence of fibers in its matrix. While the high ductility of UHPC allows it to undergo high strain/deflection before failure, the high fracture toughness of UHPC greatly enhances its capacity to absorb impact energy without allowing the formation of severe cracking or penetration by the impactor. These advantages with UHPC make it a suitable material for construction of the structural members subjected to special loading conditions. In this research work, the UHPC mixtures having three different dosages of steel fibers (2%, 4% and 6% by weight corresponding to 0.67%, 1.33% and 2% by volume) were characterized in terms of their mechanical properties including facture toughness, before using these concrete mixtures for casting the slab specimens, which were tested under high-energy impact loading with the help of a drop-weight impact test setup. The effect of fiber content on the impact energy absorption capacity and central deflection of the slab specimens were investigated and the equations correlating fiber content with the energy absorption capacity and central deflection were obtained with high degrees of fit. Finite element modeling (FEM) was performed to simulate the behavior of the slabs under impact loading. The FEM results were found to be in good agreement with their corresponding experimentally generated results.

도심지나 문화재가 인접한 지역 등의 소음, 진동 등 기존 발파해체 공법이 제한적인 조건에서 사용할 수 있는 구조물 해체공법으로 무소음화학팽창제(soundless chemical demolition agent, SCDA)를 이용한 공법이 있다. 그러나 SCDA의 사용에 대한 기준이나 가이드라인에 참고될 만한 연구는 미미한 실정이다. 이 연구에서는 실내실험을 수행하여 강관의 길이, 외부수분차단, 수화열 발산 등의 다양한 조건에 따른 SCDA의 팽창압 발현 특성을 확인하였다. 또한 SCDA의 최소요구팽창압 예측을 위한 해석모델(자유단 1면, 고정단 3면의 직사각형 모델)을 개발하고 주요변수해석(홀 간 거리, 콘크리트 압축강도)을 수행하였다. 이 연구의 해석결과를 활용하여 자유단으로부터 콘크리트 구조물의 박락을 효과적으로 유도할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
