Reinforced concrete structure resist to external load caused by integration of steel bar and concrete and this integration is obtained from bond stress between steel bar and concrete. Researches of bond stress between steel bar and concrete have been performed by many researcher, but existent researches of bond stress are concerned with compression strength of well cured concrete and insufficient study of bond stress according to early material. The secure regular strength of concrete in early age is caused by rapid velocity of early hardening process, but questionable bond stress in early age is proportion to strength of that. So this study performed experiments to compare bond stress according to material age and compression strength. The result is showed that bonding strength in early material age compare the ratio of concrete compression strength with the ratio of maximum bond stress the later inferior on the former.

Microstructural characteristics such as hydrates and porosity greatly influence the development of concrete strength. In this study, a strength estimation model for early-age concrete considerig, the microstructural characteristics was proposed, which considers the effects of both an increment of degree of hydration and capillary porosity on a strength increment. Hydration modeling and compressive strength test with curing temperature and curing ages were carried out. By comparing test results with estimated strength, it is found that the strength estimation model can estimate compressive strength of early-age concrete with curing ages and curing temperature within a margin of error.

High performance concrete (HPC) is widely used in civil engineering due to its high durability and low permeability etc. Compared with ordinary concrete, HPC may develop much higher AS (autogenous shrinkage) at early age due to the relative low water cement (w/c) ratio and adding of mineral admixtures, which is one of the main reasons for early age micro-cracking of HPC structures. This paper studies the early age property of HPC columns under similar construction-site surroundings by embedded strain transducers. Results show that for HPC structure, early-age autogenous shrinkage especially within the first day after concrete pouring is pretty large. AS within the first day are 60% larger than those for 14 days in this research for all specimens. Therefore it should be taken into account for structure durability. By comparison of PHPC (plain HPC column) and RHPC (reinforced HPC column) specimens, the effects of reinforced bars on AS and temperature distribution have been analyzed. Also the influence of w/c ratio on AS is demonstrated.

온도 및 수분의 변화로 인하여 초기재령 콘크리트에서 발생하는 응력을 합리적으로 예측하기 위해서는 초기재령 콘크리트의 경화특성을 실제적으로 표현할 수 있는 컴플라이언스 함수가 필요하다. 그러나, 기존의 컴플라이언스 함수는 경화된 콘크리트의 데이터로부터 도출되어 초기재령 콘크리트의 특성을 합리적으로 표현하지 있지 않다. 또한 탄성 컴플라이언스를 측정하는 기존의 실험에서는 하중도달시간이 존재하므로 탄성 컴플라이언스와 크리프 컴플라이언스의 구분이 모호해지며 탄성 컴플라이언스에 크리프의 영향이 존재하는 문제점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 먼저 순간 컴플라이언스 함수를 실제적으로 추정할 수 있는 실험적 방법론을 제시하였다. 제시된 실험적 방법론을 이용하여 다양한 하중도달시간과 재령에 대하여 준-순간 컴플라이언스를 실험적으로 측정하여 순간 컴플라이언스를 제시하였다. 또한 초기재령 콘크리트에 대하여 크리프 실험을 수행하였다. 이로부터 고체화 이론에 기초하여 콘크리트의 컴플라이언 함수를 표현하는 B3 모델을 초기재령 콘크리트에 합리적으로 적용될 수 있도록 수정하여 제시하였다. 따라서 본 연구에서 제안된 컴플라이언스 함수는 초기재령 콘크리트의 시간에 따른 응력을 합리적으로 평가하는데 유용하게 활용될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

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.

최근 들어 콘크리트 구조물의 내구성 및 사용성이 강조되고 있는 추세에서 많은 연구자들이 초기 재령 콘크리트의 거동에 대하여 실험 및 해석적으로 분석하고 있다. 그러나 이러한 노력에도 불구하고 아직도 초기재령 콘크리트의 거동에 대하여 많은 불확실성이 존재하며 대부분의 실험이 실내 실험에 국한되어 실제 구조물 내에서 발생하는 거동에 대한 분석은 전무한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 실제 구조물의 변형 및 열응력 이력의 계측을 통하여 초기재령 콘크리트의 응력 예측에 사용되는 컴플라이언스 함수를 추정하여 제안하였다. 본 연구에서 제안된 컴플라이언스 함수를 재하재령 및 재하기간에 따라 기존의 컴플라이언스 함수와 비교하였으며 기존의 함수는 초기 콘크리트의 변형을 과소평가하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 제안된 함수를 이용하여 콘크리트의 시간에 따른 응력을 계산하였으며 계산된 응력은 기존의 함수를 이용하여 계산된 응력이 실제 응력을 과대평가하는것과는 달리 계측된 응력과 거의 일치하였다. 따라서 본 연구에서 제안된 컴플라이언스 함수는 초기재령 콘크리트의 시간에 따른 응력을 합리적으로 평가하는데 유용하게 활용될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

Concrete undergoing early frost damage in cold weather will experience significant loss of not only strength, but also of permeability and durability. Accordingly, concrete codes like ACI-306R prescribe a minimum compressive strength and duration of curing to prevent frost damage at an early age and secure the quality of concrete. Such minimum compressive strength and duration of curing are mostly defined based on the strength development of concrete. However, concrete subjected to frost damage at early age may not show a consistent relationship between its strength and durability. Especially, since durability of concrete is of utmost importance in nuclear power plant structures, this relationship should be imperatively clarified. Therefore, this study verifies the feasibility of the minimum compressive strength specified in the codes like ACI-306R by evaluating the strength development and the durability preventing the frost damage of early age concrete for nuclear power plant. The results indicate that the value of 5 MPa specified by the concrete standards like ACI-306R as the minimum compressive strength to prevent the early frost damage is reasonable in terms of the strength development, but seems to be inappropriate in the viewpoint of the resistance to chloride ion penetration and freeze-thaw. Consequently, it is recommended to propose a minimum compressive strength preventing early frost damage in terms of not only the strength development, but also in terms of the durability to secure the quality of concrete for nuclear power plants in cold climates.

A previously published multiscale model for early-age cement-based materials [Pichler, et al.2007. "A multiscale micromechanics model for the autogenous-shrinkage deformation of early-age cement-based materials." Engineering Fracture Mechanics, 74, 34-58] is extended towards upscaling of viscoelastic properties. The obtained model links macroscopic behavior, i.e., creep compliance of concrete samples, to the composition of concrete at finer scales and the (supposedly) intrinsic material properties of distinct phases at these scales. Whereas finer-scale composition (and its history) is accessible through recently developed hydration models for the main clinker phases in ordinary Portland cement (OPC), viscous properties of the creep active constituent at finer scales, i.e., calcium-silicate-hydrates (CSH) are identified from macroscopic creep tests using the proposed multiscale model. The proposed multiscale model is assessed by different concrete creep tests reported in the open literature. Moreover, the model prediction is compared to a commonly used macroscopic creep model, the so-called B3 model.

A finite element formulation to predict the flexural behavior of composite girder is presented in which the early-age properties of concrete are specified including maturing of elastic modulus, creep and shrinkage. The time dependent constitutive relation accounting for the early-age concrete properties is derived in an incremental format by expanding the total form of stress-strain relation by the first order Taylor series with respect to the reference time. The total potential energy of the flexural composite member is minimized to derive the time dependent finite element equilibrium equation. Numerical applications are made for the 3-span double composite steel box girders which is a composite bridge girder filled with concrete at the bottom of the steel box in the negative moment region. The numerical analysis with considering the variation of concrete elastic modulus are performed to investigate the effect of it on the early-age behavior of composite structures. The one dimensional finite element analysis results are compared with the analytical method based on the sectional analysis. Close agreement is observed among the two methods.
