Cemented soils or concrete are usually cured under moisture conditions and their strength increases with curing time. An insufficient supply of water to cemented soils can contribute to hydration process during curing, which results in the variation of bonding strength of cemented soils. In this study, by the consideration of in situ water supply conditions, cemented sand with cement ratio less than 20% was prepared by air dry, wrapped, and underwater conditions. A series of unconfined compression tests were carried out to evaluate the effect of curing conditions on the strength of cemented soils. The strength of air dry curing specimen was higher than those of wrapped cured specimen when cement ratio was less than 10%, whereas it was lower when cement ratio was greater than 10%. Regardless of cement ratio, air dry cured specimens were stronger than underwater cured specimens. A strength increase ratio with cement ratio was calculated based on the strength of 4% cemented specimen. The strength increase ratio of air dry cured specimen was lowest and that of wrapped and underwater cured ones increased by square. Strength of air dry cured specimen dropped to maximum 30% after wetting when cement ratio was low. However, regardless of cement ratio, strength of wrapped specimens dropped to an average 10% after wetting.

The research on the confinement behavior of ultra high performance concrete without and with the use of steel fibers (UHPC and UHPFRC) has been extremely limited. In previous studies, authors experimentally investigated the axially compressive behavior of circular steel tube confined concrete (STCC) short and intermediate columns with the employment of UHPC and UHPFRC. Under loading on only the concrete core, the confinement effect induced by the steel tube was shown to significantly enhance the utimate stress and its corresponding strain of the concrete core. Therefore, this paper develops a simplified stress - strain model for circular STCC columns using UHPC and UHPFRC with compressive strength ranging between 150 MPa and 200 MPa. Based on the regression analysis of previous test results, formulae for predicting peak confined stress and its corresponding strain are proposed. These proposed formulae are subsequently compared against some previous empirical formulae available in the literature to assess their accuracy. Finally, the simplified stress - strain model is verified by comparison with the test results.

A hybrid double skin concrete filled (HDSCF) circular steel tube column is proposed in this study. The yield strength of the outer steel tube is larger than 690MPa and the inner tube has less strength. In order to achieve efficiency with the high strength outer tube, a feasibility study on reducing the thickness of the tube below the specified design codes for CFTs was conducted based on an experimental approach. The experiment also took variables such as thickness of the inner tube, hollow ratio, and strength of concrete into consideration to investigate the behavior of the HDSCF column. In order to estimate the applicability of design equations for CFTs to the HDSCF column, test results from CFT and HDSCF columns with design codes were compared. It was found that the axial compressive performance of the proposed HDSCF column is equivalent to that of the conventional CFT member irrespective of design variables. Furthermore, the design equation for a circular CFT given by EC4 is applicable to estimate the ultimate strength of the HDSCF circular steel tube column.

고로슬래그를 다량으로 혼입한 콘크리트를 동절기에 시공할 경우에는 배합에 따라서 응결과 경화가 현저히 지연되어 초기동해를 받을 위험성이 높다. 따라서 이 연구에서는 동절기에 고로슬래그를 다량으로 혼입한 콘크리트가 재령 초기에 동결을 받은 경우를 상정하여 초기동해가 콘크리트의 압축강도와 동결융해 저항성에 미치는 영향을 검토하였다. 그 결과, 고로슬래그를 다량으로 혼입한 콘크리트는 초기동해를 받음으로써 압축강도와 동결융해 저항성 모두가 현저히 저하되고, 고로슬래그를 혼입하지 않은 일반콘크리트에 비해서 특히 동결융해 저항성이 크게 저하되는 것으로 나타났다.

본 연구에서는 고가의 실리카퓸의 대체 재료로서 메타카올린을 사용할 목적으로 광물질 혼화재와 혼합사용한 고강도콘크리트의 특성을 검토하였다. OPC 100%와 고로슬래그시멘트, 그리고 OPC와 플라이애쉬 20% 사용한 배합을 기준배합으로 하였으며, 각각의 배합에 실리카퓸과 메타카올린을 20% 범위 내에서 혼합하여 대체하였다. 실험 결과, 목표 유동성을 만족한 기준 배합에 대하여 실리카퓸만 대체하였을 경우에는 점성이 저하되었으며, 슬럼프플로우는 감소하였고, 공기량은 증가하였다. 이에 비하여 메타카올린의 사용량이 증가할수록 콘크리트의 점성이 증가되면서 슬럼프 플로우는 증가하였고, 공기량은 감소, 그리고 고성능감수제 사용량도 감소하였다. 경화 콘크리트의 특성은 압축강도와 초음파 속도, 그리고 단위용적질량이 메타카올린 사용량에 따라 증가하였는데, 이러한 원인은 굳지 않은 콘크리트의 공기량에 영향을 받는 것으로 판단되어 고강도콘크리트는 공기량을 조절하는 것이 중요한 항목으로 나타났다. 따라서 고강도콘크리트용 혼화재로서 실리카퓸의 대체 재료로서 메타카올린의 활용이 가능할 것으로 전망되며, 혼합 사용하는 경우에는 유동성과 강도 특성을 고려하여 실리카퓸과 메타카올린은 각각 10% 정도가 적정 사용량인 것으로 판단된다.

The structural stability of a waste package is essential for containing radioactive waste for the long term in a repository. A silo-type disposal facility would require more severe verification for the structural integrity, because of radioactive waste packages staked with several tens of meters and overburdens of crushed rocks and shotcretes. In this study, structural safety was analyzed for a silo-type repository, located approximately 100 m below sea level in Gyeongju, Korea. Finite element simulation was performed to investigate the influence of the loads from the backfilling materials and waste package stacks on the mechanical stress of the disposed of wastes and containers. It was identified that the current design of the waste package and the compressive strength criterion for the solidified waste would not be enough to maintain structural stability. Therefore, an enhanced criterion for the compressive strength of the solidified waste and several reinforced structural designs for the disposal concrete container were proposed to prevent failure of the waste package based on the results of parametric studies.

Ultra high performance concrete (UHPC) has aroused interest around the world owing to superior mechanical and durability properties over conventional concrete. However, the application of UHPC in practice poses difficulties due to its inherent brittleness. UHPC filled in steel tube columns (UHPC-FSTCs) are capable of restricting the brittle failure of non-reinforced UHPC columns and forming a high performance member with enhancement of strength and ductility. Currently, research on UHPC-FSTCs remains very limited and there is relatively little information about the mechanical behavior of these columns. Therefore, this study presents a review of past experimental studies to have a deeper insight into the compressive behavior of UHPC-FSTCs under axial loading on entire section and on concrete core. Based on the test results obtained from Schneider (2006) and Xiong (2012), an analysis was conducted to investigate the influence of the confinement index (${\xi}$) and diameter to steel tube thickness ratio (D/t) on the strength and the ductility in short circular UHPC-FSTCs. Furthermore, the appropriateness of current design codes including EC4, AISC, AIJ and previous analytical models for estimating the ultimate loads of composite columns was also examined by the comparison between the predictions and the test results. Finally, simplified formulae for predicting the ultimate loads in two types of loading pattern were proposed and verified.

A concrete filled steel tube (CFT) column with stiffeners has preferable behavior subjected to axial loading condition due to delay local buckling of the steel wall than traditional CFT columns without stiffeners. Welding lines in welded built-up steel box columns is expected to behave as longitudinal stiffeners. This study has presented a numerical investigation into the behavior of built-up concrete filled steel tube columns under axial pressure. At first stage, a finite element model (FE) has been built to simulate the behavior of built-up CFT columns. Comparing the results of FE and test has shown that numerical model passes the desired conditions and could accurately predict the axial performance of CFT column. Also, by the raise of steel tube thickness, the load bearing capacity of columns has been increased due to higher confinement effect. Also, the raise of concrete strength with greater cross section is led to a higher load bearing capacity compared to the steel tube thickness increment. In CFT columns with greater cross section, concrete strength has a higher influence on load bearing capacity which is noticeable in columns with more welding lines.

철근항복강도가 420 MPa만 사용되는 원자력발전소는 대구경 철근이 과밀 배근되어 정밀시공이 어렵고 콘크리트구조물의 품질저하가 우려된다. 과밀배근 해소를 위해 항복강도 550 MPa 철근의 사용이 필요하다. 이 연구에서는 550 MPa 고강도철근의 실용화를 위해 요구되는 여러 검토 항목 중, 철근과 콘크리트 일체 거동을 위해 필요한 43 mm 갈고리철근의 정착거동을 실험적으로 평가하였다. 실험체 모두 목표했던 측면파열파괴가 발생하여, 최대하중에서 측면 피복두께가 급격히 탈락하였다. 가력 초기에는 대부분의 하중을 직선구간의 부착에 의해 지지하였으나, 최대 하중의 1/3 지점부터 부착에 의한 기여도가 저감되기 시작하여 최대 하중에서는 대부분 갈고리 지압에 의해 하중을 지지하였다. 횡보강철근이 있는 실험체에서 [실험값]/[콘크리트구조기준 예측값] 비율의 평균이 1.45였다. 35 mm 초과 철근에 적용이 금지된 횡보강철근에 대한 보정계수 0.8을 적용하여도 안전한 갈고리 정착이 가능하다. 고강도콘크리트를 사용한 경우에는 [실험값]/[콘크리트구조기준 예측값]의 비율이 1.0로 다른 경우에 비해 안전율이 부족하였다. 콘크리트강도의 제곱근에 비례하는 콘크리트구조기준은 고강도 콘크리트에서 안전측이 아니므로 콘크리트 압축강도에 대한 영향을 저감시킬 필요가 있다. 실험결과를 회귀분석하여, 콘크리트 압축강도, 묻힘길이, 측면피복두께, 횡보강철근의 영향을 고려한 갈고리철근 정착강도 평가식을 개발하였다. 13개 실험데이터와 비교한 결과, [실험값]/[예측값] 비 평균이 1.0, 변동계수가 10%로 매우 정확히 강도를 예측하였다.
