본 논문은 폴리머 모르타르로 보수된 철근콘크리트 보의 휨거동을 실험적 해석적으로 분석한 결과를 제시한다. 실험적 연구에서는 보수위치, 모르타르 재령을 실험변수로 고려하여 제작된 13개의 보에 대한 3점 휨실험이 실시되었다. 인장측 및 압축측을 보수한 실험체들의 파괴는 모르타르와 콘크리트의 계면에서 발생하지 않았으며, 폴리머 모르타르의 인장변형률이 극한변형률을 초과하는 순간 발생하였다. 압축측을 보강한 실험체들은 기준실험체의 최대하중과 유사하였다. 그들의 연성지수는 기준실험체보다 훨씬 컸다. 인장측을 보수한 실험체는 매우 취성적으로 파괴되었으며, 연성지수가 크게 감소하였다. 폴리머 모르타르로 보수된 철근콘크리트의 보의 휨거동을 예측하기 위해 Opensees을 사용한 재료비선형 해석을 진행하였다. 해석 모델을 단순화하기 위해 2차원 골조요소를 적용하였으며, 재료 비선형성을 고려하기 위해 파이버 모델을 적용하였다. 해석결과는 비선형 구조해석은 압축측 보수 실험체의 휨거동을 적절하게 예측하나, 인장측 휨거동는 다소 과대 평가하는 것으로 나타났다.

Utilization of upgraded fine fly ash in cement-based materials has been proved by many researchers as an effective method to improve compressive strength of cement based materials at early ages. The addition of fine fly ash has introduced dilution effect, enhanced pozzolanic reaction effect, nucleation effect and physical filling effect into cement-fly ash system. In this study, an integrated reaction model is adpoted to quantify the contributions from cement hydration and pozzolanic reaction to compressive strength. A modified model related to the physical filling effect is utilized to calculate the compressive strength increment considering the gradual dissolution of fly ash particles. Via combination of these two parts, a numerical model has been proposed to predict the compressive strength development of fine fly ash mortar considering fly ash fineness. The reliability of the model is validated through good agreement with the experimental results from previous articles.

The elastic modulus of recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) can be evaluated by using composite models with experiment. In this study, Hashin's composite model was adapted to evaluate elastic modulus considering physical properties of recycled coarse aggregate (RCA) that mortar is attached. Elastic modulus testes for cement paste, mortar and recycled coarse aggregate concrete were carried out considering W/C and recycled coarse aggregate content rate. As a result, the elastic modulus of RAC was evaluated comparing with both experiment results and the existing estimation formula. Those can be used for further studies as a preliminary data.

Reinforced concrete can be considered as a heterogeneous material consisting of coarse aggregate, mortar mix and reinforcing bars. This paper presents a two-dimensional mesoscopic analysis of reinforced concrete beams using a simple two-phase mesoscopic model for concrete. The two phases of concrete, coarse aggregate and mortar mix are bonded together with reinforcement bars so that inter force transfer will occur through the material surfaces. Monte Carlo's method is used to generate the random aggregate structure using the constitutive model at mesoscale. The generated models have meshed such that there is no material discontinuity within the elements. The proposed model simulates the load-deflection behavior, crack pattern and ultimate load of reinforced concrete beams reasonably well.

모르타르를 포함한 건설재료의 작업성은 시공 품질을 결정짓는 중요한 요소 중 하나이다. 콘크리트 등 건설재료의 작업성을 정량적으로 표현할 수 있는 레올로지 특성은 상용화된 레오미터를 통해 측정할 수 있지만, 경제적 또는 공간적 제약으로 인해 실제 시공현장에서의 사용에는 한계가 있다. 많은 건설현장에서는 콘크리트 또는 모르타르의 작업성을 평가하기 위해 슬럼프 플로 시험 등을 통해 정성적으로 재료의 시공성능을 평가하고 있다. 이 논문에서는 시공현장에서 간편하게 모르타르의 레올로지 특성을 측정할 수 있는 채널 플로 시험과 레올로지 특성과의 상관관계식을 제안하고자 한다. 이를 위해서 VOF기법을 이용한 유동 해석을 진행하였으며, 유동 시뮬레이션 결과를 로그함수 모델로 일반화하여 채널 플로 길이와 정지시간을 데이터베이스화 하였다. 수립된 데이터베이스를 기준으로 최소 자승법을 이용한 회귀분석을 진행하였고, 결과적으로 6개의 매개변수로 구성된 모르타르의 채널 플로 시험 결과와 레올로지 특성의 상관관계식을 도출하였다. 또한, 상용 레오미터로 측정한 레올로지 특성과 채널 플로 실험결과로부터 예측된 레올로지 특성을 비교검증 함으로써 제안된 상관관계식의 현장적용 가능성을 확인하였다.

With the rising global environmental awareness on energy saving and carbon reduction, as well as the environmental transition and natural disasters resulted from the greenhouse effect, waste resources should be efficiently used to save environmental space and achieve environmental protection principle of "sustainable development and recycling". This study used recycled cement mortar and adopted the volumetric method for experimental design, which replaced cement (0%, 10%, 20%, 30%) with recycled materials (fly ash, slag, glass powder) to test compressive strength and ultrasonic pulse velocity (UPV). The hyperbolic function for nonlinear multivariate regression analysis was used to build prediction models, in order to study the effect of different recycled material addition levels (the function of $R_m$(F, S, G) was used and be a representative of the content of recycled materials, such as fly ash, slag and glass) on the compressive strength and UPV of cement mortar. The calculated results are in accordance with laboratory-measured data, which are the mortar compressive strength and UPV of various mix proportions. From the comparison between the prediction analysis values and test results, the coefficient of determination $R^2$ and MAPE (mean absolute percentage error) value of compressive strength are 0.970-0.988 and 5.57-8.84%, respectively. Furthermore, the $R^2$ and MAPE values for UPV are 0.960-0.987 and 1.52-1.74%, respectively. All of the $R^2$ and MAPE values are closely to 1.0 and less than 10%, respectively. Thus, the prediction models established in this study have excellent predictive ability of compressive strength and UPV for recycled materials applied in cement mortar.

In this paper, the properties of the cement mortar modified with styrene acrylic ester copolymer were investigated. Expanded vermiculite as lightweight aggregate was used for making the polymer modified mortar test specimens. To study the effect of polymer-cement ratio and vermiculite-cement ratio on various properties, specimens were prepared by varying the polymer-cement and vermiculite-cement ratios. Tests of physical properties such as density, water absorption, thermal conductivity, three-point flexure and compressive tests were made on the specimens. Furthermore, a coupled thermal-structural finite element model of an entire corner wall was modelled in order to study the best material configuration. The wall is composed by a total of 132 bricks of $120{\times}242{\times}54$ size, joined by means of a contact-bonded model. The use of advanced numerical methods allows us to obtain the optimum material properties. Finally, comparisons of polymer-cement and vermiculite-cement ratios on physical properties are given and the most important conclusions are exposed.

The main aim of this study is to predict the compressive and flexural strengths of self-compacting mortar (SCM) containing $nano-SiO_2$, $nano-Fe_2O_3$ and nano-CuO using wavelet-based weighted least squares-support vector machines (WLS-SVM) approach which is called WWLS-SVM. The WWLS-SVM regression model is a relatively new metamodel has been successfully introduced as an excellent machine learning algorithm to engineering problems and has yielded encouraging results. In order to achieve the aim of this study, first, the WLS-SVM and WWLS-SVM models are developed based on a database. In the database, nine variables which consist of cement, sand, NS, NF, NC, superplasticizer dosage, slump flow diameter and V-funnel flow time are considered as the input parameters of the models. The compressive and flexural strengths of SCM are also chosen as the output parameters of the models. Finally, a statistical analysis is performed to demonstrate the generality performance of the models for predicting the compressive and flexural strengths. The numerical results show that both of these metamodels have good performance in the desirable accuracy and applicability. Furthermore, by adopting these predicting metamodels, the considerable cost and time-consuming laboratory tests can be eliminated.

Existing meso-scale models of concrete need to refine the mesh grids of aggregate and cement mortar, which may greatly reduce the computational efficiency. To overcome this problem, a novel meso-scale modeling strategy, which is based on rigid body spring method and Voronoi diagram, is proposed in this study to establish the meso-scale model of concrete. Firstly, establish numerical aggregate models according to user-defined programs. Circle aggregates are adopted due to their high efficiency in generation and packing process, and the grading of aggregate are determined according to the distribution curve proposed by Full and Thompson; Secondly, extract the centroids of aggregates, and then develop the Voronoi diagram in which aggregate centroids are defined as initial scatters; Finally, establish the rigid body spring model for concrete based on the Voronoi diagram. Aggregates are represented by rigid blocks, and assumed to be unbreakable. Cement mortar is concentrated into the interface between adjacent blocks and represented by two uniform springs. The number of grids is consistent with that of aggregates in specimens, and no mesh-refinement of aggregates and cement mortar is required. The accuracy and efficiency of the proposed modeling strategy are firstly identified by comparing the numerical results with the experimental ones, and then the applicability of the proposed strategy with different volume percentage occupied by aggregates is investigated.
