콘크리트의 강도를 평가하기 위하여 반발경도법과 초음파속도법이 폭넓게 사용되고 있다. 그러나 재료의 상태뿐만 아니라 콘크리트의 재령, 성숙도 및 손상도 등에 따라 예측강도와 현장의 실제강도가 차이가 발생하게 된다. 표준공시체와 현장에서 드릴링에 의하여 채취하는 코어공시체의 압축강도는 드릴링하는 동안 기계에 의한 교란이 발생하여 압축강도에 영향을 미치게 된다. 또한 반발경도 및 초음파속도의 경우에도 콘크리트의 재령 및 성숙도가 변화함에 따라 표면의 경도와 내부 미세조직의 변화에 의해서도 변화하게 된다. 저자들은 재령와 코어의 영향을 비파과시험결과에 반영하기 위하여 실험을 실시하였으며, 코어 및 콘크리트 재령에 의한 영향을 압축강도 실험 및 예측결과와 비교분석하였다.

반응생성에 의한 Ti/TiB 복합재료를 제조하기 위한 반응분말$(TiB_2, B_4C)$, 소결온도, 소결시간을 결정하기 위하여 제조조건에 따른 반응생성상, 미세조직, 상대밀도 등을 조사하였다. 제조된 복합재료의 기계적 성질은 상온 압축항복강도로 평가하였다. 복합재료를 제조하기 위하여 혼합하는 $TiB_2$반응분말의 경우 $1300^{\circ}C, B_4C$ 반응분말의 경우 $1400^{\circ}C$의 소결온도가 최적조건임을 확인하였다. 본 공정에 의해서 제조된 복합재료의 압축항복강도는 비교재인 Ti-6Al-4V 보다 모두 우수하였다. 또한 $TiB_2$반응분말에 의해서 제조된 복합재료가 $B_4C$ 반응분말에 의해서 제조된 복합재료보다 우수한 압축항복강도를 나타내었다. 이는, 압축시험한 복합재료에서의 균열전파양상을 조사한 결과, 강화상과 기지간의 접합특성을 $B_4C$ 반응분말에 의한 복합재료의 접합특성보다 우수하였기 때문이었다.

Rock mass classifications form the back bone of the empirical design approach and are widely employed in rock engineering. In this paper the inter-relations were discussed among RMR, Q-system, RCR, N, M-RMR, RMi, and L-RMR. Several relationships for the assessment of the modulus of deformation of rock mass, Poisson's ratio, uniaxial compressive strength, tensile strength, cohesion and internal friction angle were also analysed and suggested.

Recently, the construction of underwater structures has been gradually increased, but underwater concrete got some problems of quality deterioration and water contamination around cast-in-situ of construction. In addition, massive underwater structures such as LNG tank, underwater concrete structures of large and continuous high- strength subterranean wall under water are being demanded lower heat of hydration. In this paper, the mechanical properties of high-strength antiwashout underwater concrete (HAWC) containing with two kinds of mineral admixtures respectively were investigated. On the basis of these results, the pH value and suspended solids of HAWC manufactured in the mock-up test were 10.0$\Box$11.0 and 51 mg/${\iota}$ at 30 minutes later, respectively, initial and final setting time were about 30,37 hours, and the slump flow was 530$\pm$20Tm. In the placement at a speed of $27 m^3/hr$, there was no large difference in flowing velocity with or without reinforcing bar, and flowing slope was maintained at horizontal level. Compressive strength and elastic modulus of the cored specimen somewhat decreased as flowing distance was far; however, those of central area showed the highest value.

Kenya has recently experienced worrying collapse of buildings during construction largely attributable to the poor quality of in-situ concrete and poor workmanship. The situation in the country is further compounded by rapid deterioration of infrastructure, hence necessitating the development of alternative structural systems such as concrete filled unplasticized poly vinyl chloride (UPVC) tubes as columns. The work herein adds on to the very limited and scanty work on use of UPVC tubes in construction. This study presents the findings of experimental and analytical work which investigated the structural response of composite concrete filled UPVC tubes under compressive load regime. UPVC pipes are cheaper than steel tubes and can be used as formwork during construction and thereafter as an integral part of column. Key variables in this study included the strength of infill concrete, the length to diameter ratio (L/D) of the plastic tube, as well as the diameter to thickness ratio (D/2t) of the plastic tube. Plastic tubes having varying diameters and heights were used to confine concrete of different strengths. Results obtained in the study clearly demonstrate the effectiveness of UPVC tubes as a confining medium for infill concrete, attributable to enhanced composite interaction between the UPVC tube and infill concrete medium. It was determined that compressive strength of the composite column specimens increased with increased concrete strength while the same decreased with increased column height, albeit by a small margin since all the columns considered were short columns. Most importantly, the experimental confined concrete strength increased significantly when compared to unconfined concrete strength; the strength increased between 1.18 to 3.65 times the unconfined strength. It was noted that lower strength infill concrete had the highest confined strength possibly due to enhanced composite interaction with the confining UPVC tube. The study further proposes an analytical model for the determination of confined strength of concrete.

A portland cement was reinforced by incorporating carbon fiber(CF), silica powder, and impregnating the pores with styrene monomers which were polymerized in situ. The effects of type, length, and volume loading of CF, mixing conditions, curing time and, curing conditions on mechanical behavior as well as freeze-thaw resistance and longer term stability of the carbon-fiber reinforced cement composites (CFRC) were investigated. The composite Paste exhibited a decrease in flow values linearly as the CF volume loadings increased. Tensile, compressive, and flexural strengths all generally increased as the CF loadings in the composite increased. Compressive strength decreased at CF loadings above approx. 3% in CFRC having no impregnated polymers due to the increase in porosity caused by the fibers. However, the polymer impregnation of CFRC improved all the strength values as compared with CFRC having no Polymer impregnation. Tensile stress-strain curves showed that polymer impregnation decreased the fracture energy of CFRC. Polymer impregnation clearly showed improvements in freeze-thaw resistance and drying shrinkage when compared with CFRC having no impregnated polymers.

수치모델링을 통한 암반구조물 설계 및 안정성 평가에서 가장중요한 것은 현지암반의 파괴조건계수, 압축강도, 탄성계수 등이다. 본 연구에서는 기 연구된 문헌들과 150 set의 삼축압축자료들을 비교분석함으로써 입력자료의 적용성을 제안하였다. Hoek-Brown이 제시한 신선암의 암종별 파괴조건계수와 삼축실험자료의 분석에 의한 파괴조건계수 사이에는 많은 차이가 있었다. 그러나, 압축강도의 변환식들은 RMR에 따라 모두 유사한 거동을 보여 주었다. 한편, 탄성계수의 변환식들은 식의 선택에 따라 많은 차이가 나는 것으로 분석되었으나, Nicholson 등의 제안식이 각 사례들과 대비하여 더 현실적인 것으로 분석 되었다.

It is widely recognized that the strength of reinforced concrete members has characteristics of random variations due to the variability of the mechanical properties of concrete and steel, the dimensional error as well as incorrect placement of reinforcing bars. In those sources of randomness, variations in concrete strength may be the one affecting the strength of R.C. members most. The concrete strength is usually assumed to have large uncertainty due to the variations in many factors, such as material properties, proportions of the concrete mix, methods of mixing, transporting, placing and curing, etc. In this study, the random characteristics inherent in the strength of field-cast concrete have been examined based on the data collected by testing standard cylinders made of field-cast concrete and cured under in-situ condition.

The spectral analysis of surface waves (SASW) method, which is an in-situ seismic technique, has mainly been developed and used for many years to determine the stiffness profile of layered media (such as asphalt concrete and layered soils) in an infinite half-space. This paper presents a modified experimental technique for nondestructive evaluation of in-place cement mortar compressive strength in single-layer concrete slabs of rather a finite thickness through a correlation to surface wave velocity. This correlation can be used in the quality control of early age cement mortar structures and in evaluating the integrity of structural members where the infinite half space condition is not met. In the proposed SASW field test, the surface of the structural members is subjected to an impact, using a 12 mm steel ball, to generate surface wave energy at various frequencies. Two accelerometer receivers detect the energy transmitted through the medium. By digitizing the analog receiver outputs, and recording the signals for spectral analysis, surface wave velocities can be identified. Modifications to the SASW method includes the reduction of boundary reflections as adopted on the surface waves before the point where the reflected compression waves reach the receivers. In this study, the correlation between the surface wave velocity and the compressive strength of cement mortar is developed using one 36"x36"x4"(91.44$\times$91.44$\times$91.44 cm) cement mortar slab of 2,000 psi (140 kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$) and two 36"x36"x4"(91.44$\times$91.44$\times$91.44 cm) cement mortar slabs of 3,000 psi (210 kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$).

Soft marine soil has high fine-grained soil content and in-situ water content. Thus, it has low shear strength and bearing capacity and is susceptible to a large settlement, which leads to difficulties with coastal infrastructure construction. Therefore, strength improvement and settlement control are essential considerations for construction on soft marine soil deposits. Biopolymers show their potential for improving soil stability, which can reduce the environmental drawbacks of conventional soil treatment. This study used two biopolymers, an anionic xanthan gum biopolymer and a cationic ${\varepsilon}-polylysine$ biopolymer, as representatives to enhance the geotechnical engineering properties of soft marine soil. Effects of the biopolymers on marine soil were analyzed through a series of experiments considering the Atterberg limits, shear strength at a constant water content, compressive strength in a dry condition, laboratory consolidation, and sedimentation. Xanthan gum treatment affects the Atterberg limits, shear strength, and compressive strength by interparticle bonding and the formation of a viscous hydrogel. However, xanthan gum delays the consolidation procedure and increases the compressibility of soils. While ${\varepsilon}-polylysine$ treatment does not affect compressive strength, it shows potential for coagulating soil particles in a suspension state. ${\varepsilon}-Polylysine$ forms bridges between soil particles, showing an increase in settling velocity and final sediment density. The results of this study show various potential applications of biopolymers. Xanthan gum biopolymer was identified as a soil strengthening material, while ${\varepsilon}-polylysine$ biopolymer can be applied as a soil-coagulating material.
