Durability of concrete structures is seriously compromised by cracking at early-age concretes, particularly in high-strength or high-performance concrete structures. Since early-age cracking is influenced by various factors that affect the hydration process, early-age shrinkage and stress/strain development, the behavior at early-age is highly complex and no rational methodologies for its control have yet been established. Concrete structures often present volumetrical changes particularly due to thermal and moisture related shrinkages. Volumetric instability is detrimental to the performance and durability of concrete structures because structural elements are usually restrained. These restrained shrinkages develope tensile stresses which often results in cracking in combination with the low fracture resistance of concrete. Early-age defects in high-performance concrete due to thermal and autogenous deformation shorten the life cycle of concrete structures. Thus, it is necessary to examine the behavior of early-age concrete at the stages of design and construction. The purpose of this study was to propose a shrinkage models of VES-LMC (very-early strength latex-modified concrete) at early-age considering thermal deformation and autogenous shrinkage.

최근 국내에서도 압축강도 180 MPa, 인장강도 10 MPa 이상의 초고성능 섬유보강 콘크리트(Ultra High Performance Fiber Reinforced Concrete, UHPFRC)가 개발되었다. 그러나 UHPFRC는 물-결합재비가 낮고 다량의 고분말 혼화재료를 혼입하며, 굵은 골재를 사용하지 않기 때문에 초기 재령에서의 자기수축이 크고, 표면이 급격히 건조하는 등 기존의 일반 콘크리트(Normal Concrete, NC) 및 고성능 콘크리트(High Performance Concrete, HPC)와는 다른 재료적 특성을 보인다. 그러므로 본 연구에서는 UHPFRC에 적합한 재료 실험 방법과 규정을 제안하고 극 초기 재령에서의 강도 특성을 평가하기 위하여 응결 및 수축, 인장 실험을 수행하였다. 응결 실험 결과 파라핀 오일을 UHPFRC의 모르타르 표면에 적용할 경우 표면에서의 급격한 건조현상을 효율적으로 억제할 수 있는 것으로 나타났으며, 시멘트와 배합수의 수화반응을 지연 또는 촉진 시키지 않는 것으로 나타나 응결 실험 시 표면건조 방지제로 적합한 것으로 판단되었다. 또한, 링-테스트를 수행하여 내부 강재 링의 온도와 변형률의 경향이 달라지는 시점을 수축 응력 발현 시점으로 정의하였으며, 이를 응결 실험과 비교하여 본 결과 응결침에 걸리는 관입 저항력이 약 1.5 MPa일 때 수축 응력이 발현되는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 초결 및 종결보다 약 0.6시간, 2.1시간 빠른 것이며, 상기 시점을 UHPFRC의 자기수축 측정 시점(time-zero)으로 규정하였다. 마지막으로, 본 연구에서는 극 초기 재령 인장강도 측정 장비를 제작하여 초결시점에서부터 UHPFRC의 인장강도와 탄성계수를 측정하였으며, 이를 고려한 UHPFRC의 인장강도 및 탄성계수 예측식을 제안하였다.

The purpose of this paper is to analysis of initial behavior of concrete pavement with initial measurement strain gauge for concrete pavement at field, and to investigate the field test results for field applicability testing. The early-age behaviors of concrete pavement slabs were measured using the strain gauges. From the slab depths and positions, the outputs from each gauges were recorded at initial curing period. The initial measurement of concrete pavement and check of crack at the joint were performed, the results could be summarized as follows. From the results of concrete strength, compressive strength and flexural strength were showed $271kgf/cm^2$, $43kgf/cm^2$ respectively. From the tests of early-age strain measurement, it was found that the strain varied at the maximum value of $150{\mu}{\varepsilon}$ and early behavior of concrete slab was showed a tensile strain. However, for long-term was showed a compressive strain due to dry-shrinkage.

It is known from the literature that there are relatively few studies on the engineering properties of ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) in early age. In fact, in order to ensure the safety of UHPC during construction and sufficient durability and long-term performance, it is necessary to explore the early behavior of UHPC. The test parameters (test control factors) investigated included the percentage of cement replaced by silica fume (SF), the percentage of cement replaced by ultra-fine silica powder (SFP), the amount of steel fiber (volume percent), and the amount of polypropylene fiber (volume percentage). The engineering properties of UHPC in the fresh mixing stage and at the age of 7 days were investigated. These properties include freshly mixed properties (slump, slump flow, and unit weight) and hardened mechanical properties (compressive strength, elastic modulus, flexural strength, and splitting tensile strength). Moreover, the effects of the experimental factors on the performance of the tested UHPC were evaluated by range analysis and variance analysis. The experiment results showed that the compressive strength of the C8 mix at the age of 7 days was highest of 111.5 MPa, and the compressive strength of the C1 mix at the age of 28 days was the highest of 128.1 MPa. In addition, the 28-day compressive strength in each experimental group increased by 13%-34% compared to the 7-day compressive strength. In terms of hardened mechanical properties, the performance of each experimental group was superior to that of the control group (without fiber and without additional binder materials), with considerable improvement, and the experimental group did not produce explosive or brittle damage after the test. Further, the flexural test process found that all test specimens exhibited deflection-hardening behavior, resulting in continued to increase carrying capacity after the first crack.

이 연구에서는 콘크리트 초기재령시의 역학적 특성을 분석하고 수화반응 및 발열반응으로 인한 콘크리트 내부에서 발생하는 온도 및 상대습도의 변화에 대한 분석을 실시하고자 하였다. 세 가지의 다른 단위시멘트량을 실험변수로 하였으며, 타설 직후부터 콘크리트 내부의 온도 및 상대습도의 변화 계측하기 위하여 새로운 계측시스템을 개발하였다. 단위시멘트량에 압축, 인장 및 휨강도의 변화는 크지 않았으며, 재령 7일 이후에는 증가가 많지 않았다. 각 측정부위별 최고 온도는 타설 후 약 11시간 정도 경과시에 발생되었으며 이후 점차 온도가 낮아지다가 양생 1일 경과 후 거푸집 탈형 이후부터 온도가 하강하기 시작했다. 각 측정부위별, 온도감소 분석 결과, 콘크리트 구조물의 위치 및 노출조건에 따라 온도의 변화가 굉장히 다른 것으로 분석되었으며, 초기재령에서 콘크리트 내부의 상대습도의 변화는 수화반응에 영향을 미치는 단위시멘트량 보다는 외부에 노출된 상태가 더 큰 영향을 미칠 수 있는 것으로 분석되었다.

Ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) has become an attractive cast-in-place repairing material for existing engineering structures. The present study aims to investigate age-dependent high-early-strength UHPC (HESUHPC) material properties (i.e., compressive strength, elastic modulus, flexural strength, and tensile strength) as well as interfacial shear properties of HESUHPC-normal strength concrete (NSC) composites cured at different season temperatures (i.e., summer, autumn, and winter). The typical temperatures were kept for at least seven days in different seasons from weather forecasting to guarantee an approximately consistent curing and testing condition (i.e., temperature and relative humidity) for specimens at different ages. The HESUHPC material properties are tested through standardized testing methods, and the interfacial bond performance is tested through a bi-surface shear testing method. The test results quantify the positive development of HESUHPC material properties at the early age, and the increasing amplitude decreases from summer to winter. Three-day mechanical properties in winter (with the lowest curing temperature) still gain more than 60% of the 28-day mechanical properties, and the impact of season temperatures becomes small at the later age. The HESUHPC shrinkage mainly occurs at the early age, and the final shrinkage value is not significant. The HESUHPC-NSC interface exhibits sound shear performance, the interface in most specimens does not fail, and most interfacial shear strengths are higher than the NSC-NSC composite. The HESUHPC-NSC composites at the shear failure do not exhibit a large relative slip and present a significant brittleness at the failure. The typical failures are characterized by thin-layer NSC debonding near the interface, and NSC pure shear failure. Two load-slip development patterns, and two types of main crack location are identified for the HESUHPC-NSC composites tested in different ages and seasons. In addition, shear capacity of the HESUHPC-NSC composite develops rapidly at the early age, and the increasing amplitude decreases as the season temperature decreases. This study will promote the HESUHPC application in practical engineering as a cast-in-place repairing material subjected to different natural environments.

초고성능 시멘트 복합체(ultra-high-performance cementitious conposites, UHPCC)는 우수한 압축강도와 연성을 나타내기 때문에 구조 부재 적용 시 단면을 상당히 감소시키고, 낮은 물-결합재비와 고분말 혼화 재료의 사용으로 높은 수축 변형률이 발생하게 되어 거푸집 및 보강근 등의 구속에 의한 수축 균열의 발생 가능성이 크다. 그러므로 이 연구에서는 UHPCC의 수축을 저감시키기 위한 방법으로 팽창재와 수축 저감제를 조합하여 혼입하고 자유수축과 구속 수축 거동을 평가하여 적합성 여부를 산정하였다. 실험 결과 팽창재와 수축 저감제를 조합하여 혼입한 경우에 약 40~44%의 자유수축 저감 효과를 보였으며, 잔류 인장응력은 약 35%와 47% 감소하였다. 지속적인 구속 하중에 의한 인장 크리프의 발생으로 탄성 수축 응력의 약 61%, 64%가 이완되는 것으로 나타났으며, 따라서 구속 수축 거동을 평가할 때에는 반드시 크리프 효과를 고려해야 한다고 판단되었다. 구속도는 0.78~0.85로 나타났으며 팽창재와 수축 저감제의 혼입에 의한 영향은 미미하였고 콘크리트 링의 두께가 클수록 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 또한, UHPCC의 인장 크리프 변형률을 측정하고 재령에 따라 변하는 구속 하중을 적용한 4-매개 변수 크리프 예측 모델과 비교하였다.

This study was conducted to investigate experimentally the drying shrinkage and the strength properties of redispersible SBR and PAE powder-modified mortars. Polymer-cement ratio, content of shrinkage-reducing agent and antifoamer content were manipulated as the experimental variables. The peculiarity of this study is to obtain a high early-age strength by using the portland cement and alumina cement with the ratio of 8 : 2. Until 7 days of age, the drying shrinkage remarkably increased up to $1\~2\times10^{-4}$, while it tended to decrease as the ratio of polymer to cement ratio and the content of shrinkage-reducing agent increased. Polymer-cement ratio was effective in improving the flexural, tensile and adhesive strengths: As the ratio increased, the strengths correspondingly increased. The flexural strength was in the range of $7\~11$ MPa, the tensile strength was $3.5\~5$ MPa and the adhesive strength was $1.2\~3.9$ MPa. On the other hand, the compressive strength tended to decrease as the polymer-cement ratio increased, and it was in the range of $23\~39$ MPa. All strengths, flexural, tensile, adhesive and compressive strengths, decreased as the content of powder shrinkage-reducing agent increased. It turned out that the polymer-cement ratio influenced more on the behavior of drying shrinkage and the properties of strength than the powder shrinkage-reducing agent did.

In this study, the effect of external restraint on the thermal stresses and thermal cracking mode in mass concrete are analysed using the two major factors affecting external restraint such as the ratio of width go height of the placed structure (L/H) and the elastic modulus of base structure (E). For this parametric study, many cases with different values of L/H and Er are analysed by the FEM program and the co-relationship of the those major factors is examined. To evaluate the effect of external restraint on the thermal behavior of placing structure, internal restraint stress caused by temperature difference is subtracted from total thermal stress. In the case of small value of L/H or Er, it shows as internally restricted mode indicating maximum tensile stress in surface at early age, and the external restraint makes the possibility of thermal cracking higher. However, in the case of the large values of L/H and Er, the crack index at center is smaller than at surface due to the effect of external restraint. Thus, the initial location of the thermal crack is shifted from the surface to the center and the resulting crack is formed at later age.
