Impact experiments have been carried out on concrete slabs. The first group was traditionally manufactured, densely reinforced concrete targets, and the next were ordinary Portland and calcium aluminate cement based HPSFRC (High performance steel fiber reinforced concrete) and SIFCON (Slurry infiltrated concrete) targets. All specimens were hit by anti-armor tungsten projectiles at a muzzle velocity of over 4 Mach causing destructive perforation. In Part I of this article, production and experimental procedures are described. The first group of specimens were ordinary CEM I 42.5 R cement based targets including only dense reinforcement. In the second and third groups, specimens were produced using CEM I 42.5 R cement and Calcium Aluminate Cement (CAC40) with ordinary reinforcement and steel fibers 2 percent in volume. In the fourth group, SIFCON specimens including 12 percent of steel fibers without reinforcement were tested. A high-speed camera was used to capture impact and residual velocities of the projectile. Sample tests were performed to obtain mechanical properties of the materials. In the companion Part II of this study, numerical investigations and simulations performed will be presented. Few studies exist that examine high-velocity impact effects on CAC40 based HPSFRC targets, so this investigation gives an insight for comparison of their behavior with Portland cement based and SIFCON specimens.

The production of ultra-early-strength concrete (UESC) traditionally involves complexity or necessitates high-temperature curing conditions. However, this study aimed to achieve ultra-early-strength performance solely through room-temperature curing. Experimental results demonstrate that under room-temperature (28℃) curing conditions, the concrete attained compressive strengths of 20 MPa at 4 hours and 69.6 MPa at 24 hours. Additionally, it exhibited a flexural strength of 7.5 MPa after 24 hours. In contrast, conventional concrete typically reaches around 20.6 MPa (3,000 psi) after approximately 28 days, highlighting the rapid strength development of the UESC. This swift attainment of compressive strength represents a significant advancement for engineering purposes. Small amounts of steel fibers (0.5% and 1% by volume, respectively) were added to address potential concrete cracking due to early hydration heat and enhance mechanical properties. This allowed observation of the effects of different volume contents on ultra-early-strength fiber-reinforced concrete (UESFRC). Furthermore, the compressive strength of 0.5% and 1% UESFRC increased by 16.3% and 31.3%, respectively, while the flexural strength increased by 37.1% and 47.9%. Moreover, toughness increased by 58.2 and 69.7 times, respectively. These findings offer an effective solution for future emergency applications in public works.

일반적인 고인성 고성능 시멘트 복합재료의 경우 균질한 재료분포를 위하여 기본적으로 굵은 골재를 배재하는 경향이 있다. 그러나, 굵은 골재를 배재한 섬유 복합 시멘트 모르타르의 경우 재료의 탄성계수가 낮으며 단위시멘트량이 높아 경제성과 효율이 낮은 배합이기 때문에 대량으로 신규 구조물에 적용하기 힘들다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 적절한 수준의 굵은 골재를 혼입하였지만 여전히 휨인성과 휨강도는 확보하고 있는 동시에, 균열 분산성능도 보유하고 있는 고인성 섬유보강 콘크리트에 대한 개발 연구를 수행하였다. 굵은 골재의 혼입량을 실험 변수로 실험 연구를 수행하였고, 결과에 따르면 고인성 모르타르의 기본 배합에 굵은골재를 잔골재의 25%중량비로 추가한 경우에서 가장 좋은 휨인성 그리고 균열분산 특성을 나타내었다. PVA섬유는 균열분산과 연성 증진에 효과적이었고, 강섬유 섬유의 경우 균열분산보다는 강도증진에 효과적이었다.

This study proposes prediction models for the shear strength of steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) and ultra-high-performance fiber reinforced concrete (UHPC) beams using a Bayesian parameter estimation approach and a collected experimental database. Previous researchers had already proposed shear strength prediction models for SFRC and UHPC beams, but their performances were limited in terms of their prediction accuracies and the applicability to UHPC beams. Therefore, this study adopted a statistical approach based on a collected database to develop prediction models. In the database, 89 and 37 experimental data for SFRC and UHPC beams without stirrups were collected, respectively, and the proposed equations were developed using the Bayesian parameter estimation approach. The proposed models have a simplified form with important parameters, and in comparison to the existing prediction models, provide unbiased high prediction accuracy.

Five reinforced concrete frames were constructed and tested to study the structural performance of retrofitting effect reinforced concrete frame during and load revesals simultaneously. All specimens were modeling in one-third scale size. Experimental research was carried out to develop and evaluate the hysteretic behavior of reinforced concrete frame designed by high performance techniques, using carbon fiber plate, ALC panel, steel plate system with or without stiffener. Experimental programs wore carried to evaluate the structural performance of such test specimens, such as the hysteretic behavior, the maximum horizontal strength, crack propagation, and ductility etc. Specimens(RFCP, RFAR, RFSR, RFSR-S), designed by the improvement of earthquake-resistant performance, were attained more load-carrying capacity, energy dissipation capacity, and stable hysteretic behavior.

While ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) is commonly reinforced with micro straight steel fibers in existing applications, studies have indicated that the use of deformed steel macro-fibers leads to enhanced ductility and post-peak responses for UHPC structural elements, which is of particular importance for earthquake-resistant structures. However, there are potential concerns regarding the use of UHPC reinforced with macro-fibers due to the issues of workability and fiber distribution. The objective of this study was to address these issues by extensively investigating the restricted and non-restricted deformability, filling ability, horizontal and vertical velocities, and passing ability of UHPC containing macro hooked-end steel fibers. A new approach is suggested to examine the homogeneity of fiber distribution in UHPC. The influences of ultra-fine fillers and steel macro-fibers on the workability of fresh UHPC and the mechanics of hardened UHPC were examined. It was found that although increasing the ratio of quartz powder to cement led to an improvement in the workability and tensile strain hardening behavior of UHPC, it reduced the fiber distribution homogeneity. The addition of 1% volume fraction of macro-fibers in UHPC improved workability, but reduced its compressive strength, which is contrary to the effect of micro-fiber inclusion in UHPC.

화재시 고강도콘크리트의 폭렬현상을 막고 내부철근 온도의 상승을 억제하기 위하여 폴리프로필렌섬유와 강 섬유를 동시에 사용하는 섬유혼입공법을 제안하였다. 섬유혼입공법을 40~100 MPa 고강도콘크리트 배합에 적용하여 가 열재하방법으로 열적특성을 평가한 후 내화성능을 평가하기 위하여 구조부재에 내화시험을 실시하였다. 2기의 기둥시 험체를 제작하여 ISO 834 표준내화곡선에 따라 180분 비재하 내화시험을 실시하였다. 폭렬은 발생하지 않았으며, 표면 부의 색은 분홍색을 띤 회색으로 변했다. 깊이 60 mm부터 내부 콘크리트의 온도가 급감하였으며, 60분 가열 후 온도구 배는 보통콘크리트보다 5배 적은 2.2oC/mm로 측정되었다. 180분 내화시험 후의 최종온도는 모서리철근이 488.0oC, 중앙 철근이 350.9oC이며, 철근의 총 평균온도는 419.5oC이다. 모서리철근과 중앙철근의 평균온도차는 137.1oC였다. 가열 후 100~150oC부근에서 콘크리트와 철근의 온도상승추세가 변하는데 이는 강섬유와 폴리프로필렌섬유를 혼입한 콘크리트의 온도구배가 낮고, 철근으로의 수분이동과 내부 수분의 막힘현상, 그리고 수분의 기화열 때문이다.

A novel type of steel fiber with a rounded-end shape is presented to improve the bonding behavior of fibers with Carbon Nanotubes (CNT)-reinforced Ultra-High Performance Concrete (UHPC) matrix. For this purpose, by performing a parametric study and using the nonlinear finite element method, the impact of geometric characteristics of the fiber end on its bonding behavior with UHPC has been studied. The cohesive zone model investigates the interface between the fibers and the cement matrix. The mechanical properties of the cohesive zone model are determined by calibrating the finite element results and the experimental fiber pull-out test. Also, the results are evaluated with the straight steel fibers outcomes. Using the novel presented fibers, the bond strength has significantly improved compared to the straight steel fibers. The new proposed fibers increase bond strength by 1.1 times for the same diameter of fibers. By creating fillet at the contact area between the rounded end and the fiber, bond strength is significantly improved, the maximum fiber capacity is reachable, and the pull-out occurs in the form of fracture and tearing of the fibers, which is the most desirable bonding mode for fibers. This also improves the energy absorbed by the fibers and is 4.4 times more than the corresponding straight fibers.

일반 콘크리트에 비해 상대적으로 높은 인성과 연성의 특징을 갖는 HPFRCC는 과도한 하중을 받는 구조 부재 혹은, 내구적으로 취약한 부재 등에 사용될 수 있으며, 기존의 연구에 의하면 PVA섬유를 이용한 HPFRCC의 경우 혼입률 2%에서 가장 높은 휨 성능이 나타난다고 알려져 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 길이가 다른 두 종류의 PVA 섬유를 사용하여 상대적으로 짧은 섬유는 작은 균열(microcrack)을, 상대적으로 긴 섬유는 큰 균열(macrocrack)을 보다 효과적으로 제어하는 최적혼입비를 찾기 위하여 전체 PVA 혼입률을 2%로 고정시킨 채 두 섬유의 혼입률을 달리하여 각 혼입비에 따른 압축 및 휨 강도 테스트를 실시하였다. 또한 강섬유와 PVA 섬유를 동시에 하이브리드 보강한 콘크리트 부재에 대해서도 같은 실험을 실시하여 비교 분석하여 가장 높은 휨 성능을 나타낼 수 있는 최적배합을 찾고자 한다. 실험 결과 1.6%의 단섬유(12mm)와 0.4%의 장섬유(30mm)로 이루어진 시편에서 가장 높은 휨 성능을 보였으며, 2%의 PVA 섬유가 혼입된 부재에 대하여 소량의 강섬유 혼입 시 휨 성능이 다소 향상 되지만 많은 혼입량은 오히려 휨 성능의 저하를 초래하였다.
