In an attempt to reach a balance of performances in homo-polypropylene based system, the effects of single and hybrid reinforcements inclusions comprising calcium carbonate nanoparticles (2, 4 and 6 phc) and glass fibers (10 wt.%) on the mechanical and thermal properties were investigated. Different samples were prepared by employing twin-screw extruder and injection molding machine. In morphological studies, the uniform distribution of glass fibers in PP matrix, relative adhesion between glass fibers and polymer, and existence of nanoparticles in polymer matrix were observed. $PP/CaCO_3$ (6 phc) as compared to pure PP and PP/GF had superior tensile and flexural strengths, impact resistance and deformation temperature under load (DTUL). $PP/GF/CaCO_3$ (6 phc) composite displayed comparable tensile and flexural strengths and impact resistance to neat PP, while its tensile and flexural moduli and deformation temperature under load (DTUL) were 436%, 99% and $26^{\circ}C$greater respectively. The maximum impact resistance was observed in $PP/CaCO_3$(6 phc). The highest DTUL was perceived in PP hybrid nanocomposite containing 10 wt.% glass fiber and 4 phc $CaCO_3$ nanoparticle.

Supplementary cementitious materials (SCM) have turned out to be a vital portion of extraordinary strength and performance concrete. Metakaolin (MK) is one of SCM material is acquired by calcinations of kaolinite. Universally utilised as pozzolanic material in concrete to enhance mechanical and durability properties. This study investigates the fresh and hardened properties of conventional concrete (CC) and self compacting concrete (SCC) by partially replacing cement with MK in diverse percentages. In CC and SCC, partial replacement of cement with MK varies from 5-20%. Fresh concrete properties of CC are conducted by slump test and compaction factor tests and for SCC, slump flow, T500, J-Ring, L-Box, V-Funnel and U-Box tests. Hardened concrete characteristics are investigated by compressive, split tensile and flexural strengths at age of 7, 28 and 90 days of curing under water. Carbonation depth, water absorption and density of MK based CC and SCC was also computed. Fresh concrete test results indicated that increase in MK replacement increases workability of concrete in a constant w/b ratio. Also, outcomes reveal that concrete integrating MK had greater compressive, flexural and split tensile strengths. Optimum replacement level of MK for cement was 10%, which increased mechanical properties and robustness properties of concrete.

The main objective of this work is to contribute to the valorization of plastic and glass waste in the improvement of concrete properties. Waste glass after grinding was used as a partial replacement of the cement with a percentage of 15%. The plastic waste was cut and introduced as fibers with 1% by the total volume of the mixture. Mechanical and durability tests were conducted for various mixtures of concrete as compressive and flexural strengths, water absorption, ultrasonic pulse velocity, and acid attack. Also, other in-depth analyses were performed on samples of each variant such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric analysis (DSC-TGA), and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The results show that the addition of glass powder or plastic fibers or a combination of both in concrete improved in the compression and flexural strengths in the long term. The highest compressive strength was obtained in the mix which combines the two wastes about 26.72% of increase compared to the control concrete. The flexural strength increased in the mixture containing the glass powder. Therefore, the mixture with two wastes exhibits better resistance to aggressive sulfuric acid attack, and incorporating glass powder improves the ultrasonic pulse velocity.

PURPOSE. Impact forces in implant supported FDP (fixed dental prosthesis) are higher than that of tooth supported FDPs and the compositions used in frameworks also has a paramount role for biomechanical reasons. The aim of this study was to evaluate the flexural strength of two different zirconia frameworks. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Two implant abutments with 3.8 mm and 4.5 mm platform were used as premolar and molar. They were mounted vertically in an acrylic resin block. A model with steel retainers and removable abutments was fabricated by milling machine; and 10 FDP frameworks were fabricated for each Biodenta and Cercon systems. All samples were thermo-cycled for 2000 times in $5-55^{\circ}C$ temperature and embedded in $37^{\circ}C$ artificial saliva for one week. The flexural test was done by a rod with 2 mm ending diameter which was applied to the multi-electromechanical machine. The force was inserted until observing fracture. The collected data were analyzed with SPSS software ver.15, using Weibull modulus and independent t-test with the level of significance at ${\alpha}=.05$. RESULTS. The mean load bearing capacity values were higher in Biodenta but with no significant differences (P>.05). The Biodenta frameworks showed higher load bearing capacity ($F_0=1700$) than Cercon frameworks ($F_0=1520$) but the reliability (m) was higher in Cercon (m=7.5). CONCLUSION. There was no significant difference between flexural strengths of both zirconia based framework systems; and both Biodenta and Cercon systems are capable to withstand biting force (even parafunctions) in posterior implant-supported bridges with no significant differences.

본 연구에서는 콘크리트의 이축 휨인장 특성을 일축 휨인장 특성과 실험적으로 비교, 분석하였다. 이를 위하여 일축 휨인장강도는 현재 많이 사용되고 있는 콘크리트 휨강도 실헙 방법을 사용하여 측정하였으며, 이축 휨강도의 경우는 지광습 외, Zi and Oh에 의해 제안된 새로운 이축 휨강도 실험 방법을 사용하였다. 골재의 크기에 따른 휨파괴강도 변화를 분석하기 위하여 세 가지 크기의 실험체를 제작하였다. 또한 통계적 특성 분석을 위하여 각 변수별로 32개의 실험체를 제작하여 실험을 수행하였다. 실험 결과 평균 이축 휨파괴강도가 일축의 경우보다 20% 정도 큰 것으로 나타났으나, COV의 경우에는 이축의 경우가 18% 큰 것으로 해석되었다. 이는 이축 휨균열 확률이 일축 보다 클 수도 있음을 의미한다.

In the present study, exfoliated graphite nanoplatelets (xGnP) with different particle sizes were coated onto polyacrylonitrile-based carbon fibers by a direct coating method. The flexural properties, interlaminar shear strength, and the morphology of the xGnP-coated carbon fiber/phenolic matrix composites were investigated in terms of their longitudinal flexural strength and modulus, interlaminar shear strength, and by optical and scanning electron microscopic observations. The results were compared with a phenolic matrix composite counterpart prepared without xGnP. The flexural properties and interlaminar shear strength of the xGnP-coated carbon fiber/phenolic matrix composites were found to be higher than those of the uncoated composite. The flexural and interlaminar shear strengths were affected by the particle size of the xGnP, while the particle size had no significant effect on the flexural modulus. It seems that the interfacial contacts between the xGnP-coated carbon fibers and the phenolic matrix play a role in enhancing the flexural strength as well as the interlaminar shear strength of the composites.

이산화탄소 농도가 높은 도심지의 경우 탄산화로 인한 철근부식이 발생하기 쉬우며 이는 콘크리트 구조물의 내구수명을 감소시킨다. 콘크리트 구조물의 경우 다양한 구속조건을 가지며 항상 외부의 재하하중을 받고 있다. 도입된 응력수준은 이산화탄소와 같은 유해인자의 확산을 변화시키며 탄산화 깊이의 변동성을 야기한다. 본 연구에서는 응력재하수준에 따른 탄산화 변동성을 정량화하였으며, 이를 이용하여 탄산화 예측식을 도출하였다. 내구성 설계인자인 피복두께, 이산화탄소 확산계수, 탄산화 반응 수화물, 그리고 외부 이산화탄소 농도를 확률변수로 정의하였으며, MCS을 통하여 영향인자의 변동성에 따른 내구수명을 도출하였다. 또한 응력수준에 따라 변화하는 내구수명을 도출하였으며, 이를 결정론적인 방법의 결과와 비교하였다. 피복두께 및 내부 수화물 생성이 내구수명 변동성에 가장 큰 영향을 미쳤으며, 응력수준을 고려한 내구수명평가는 유지관리 우선순위 설정에 합리적으로 적용할 수 있다.

본 연구에서는 압축강도 1400 kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$ 를 갖는 불포화 폴리에스터 폴리머 콘크리트를 이용하여 제작한 C형 시험체에 대한 편심압축 시험을 통하여 폴리머 콘크리트 휨부재의 응력-변형률 관계를 구명하고 등가직사각형 응력블럭의 파라미터 $\alpha$, $\beta$1, ${\gamma}$를 산출하였다. 아울러 인장철근비를 달리하는 5종의 전단스팬비 4.0인 철근 보강 폴리머 콘크리트 보에 대한 휨시험에서 얻어진 극한모멘트 시험값과 C형 시험체 응력-변형률 곡선에서 산출되는 파라미터 $\alpha$=0.61, $\beta$1=0.73 를 이용하여 계산된 이론적인 극한모멘트 값을 비교하여 보았던 바, 인장철근비가 0.50 $\rho$b 이상일때 시험값과 이론값이 비교적 잘 부합됨을 확인 할 수 있었다. 그러나 폴리머 콘크리트 휨 부재에 대한 보다 정확한 설계기준의 마련을 위해서는 압축강도와 크기를 변수로 하는 C형 시험체에 대한 보다 많은 시험을 통한 파라미터의 체계적인 연구가 필요하다.
