Fiber reinforced concretes exhibit higher tensile strength depending on the percent and type of the fiber used. These concretes are used to reduce cracks and improve concrete behavior. The use of these fibers increases the production costs and reduces the compressive strength to a certain extent. Therefore, the use of fiber reinforced concrete in regions where higher tensile strength is required can cut costs and improve the overall structural strength. The behavior of fiber reinforced concrete and normal concrete adjacent to each other was investigated in the present study. The concrete used was self-compacting and did not require vibration. The samples had 0, 1, 2 and 4 wt% polypropylene fibers. 15 cm sample cubes were subjected to uniaxial loads to investigate their compressive strength. Fiber Self-Compacting Concrete was poured in the mold up to 0, 30, 50, 70 and 100 percent of the mold height, and then Self-Compacting Concrete without fiber was added to the empty section of that mold. In order to investigate concrete behavior under bending moment, concrete beam samples with similar conditions were prepared and subjected to the three-point bending flexural test. The results revealed that normal Self-Compacting Concrete and Fiber Self-Compacting Concrete may be used in adjacent to each other in structures and structural members. Moreover, no separation was observed at the interface of Fiber Self-Compacting Concrete and Self-Compacting Concrete, either in the cubic samples under compression or in the concrete beams under bending moment.

경량골재 사전흡수에 의한 콘크리트 내 수분이동 변화와 수축 저감 효과를 파악하기 위하여 일반콘크리트 및 경량콘크리트의 수분이동, 열전달, 변형률의 다중물리모델의 해석과 실험을 수행하였다. 그 결과 동일 물-결합재비일 경우 경량 콘크리트와 일반 콘크리트와의 습도 변화 비교는 모두 경량 콘크리트가 일반 콘크리트보다 초기재령, 장기 재령 모두에서 작은 습도 감소를 나타내어 경량 골재 사전흡수수에 의한 수분 공급이 효과적으로 이루어진 것으로 판단된다. 이에 따라 경량 콘크리트는 일반 콘크리트에 비해 수축변형률 크기 및 분포 모두 감소하였으며, 수축저감효과는 물-시멘트비 0.3에서는 초기재령에서, 물-시멘트비 0.5에서는 초기재령, 장기재령 모두에서 효과적인 것으로 나타났다. 수분이동 및 변형률 해석과 모형실험을 통해 일련된 연구에서 도출한 수분이동 특성값과 습도, 수축 관련식은 적합한 것으로 판단되며, 향후 경량콘크리트의 부등수축해석에 적절히 활용될 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.

The purpose of this study is to achieve a sufficient fluidity without segregation for normal compressive strength grade concrete mixture. The major obstacle of achieving fluidity of normal compressive strength grade concrete mixture is segregation. Therefore, in this research, the proper use of VMA was suggested to prevent segregation.

The purpose of this experimental study is to investigate the damage mechanism due to shear-fatigue behavior of high-strength reinforced concrete beams under repeated loading. The relationship between the number of cycles and the deflection or strain, the crack growths and modes of failure with the increase of number of cycles, fatigue strength, and S-N curve were observed through a fatigue test. Based on the fatigue test results, high-strength reinforced concrete beams failed at 57-66 percent of static ultimate strength for 2 million cycles. The fatigue strength at 2 million cycles from S-N curves was shown as about 60 percent of static ultimate strength. Compared to normal-strength reinforced concrete beams, fatigue capacity of high-strength reinforced concrete beams was similar to or lower than fatigue capacity of normal-strength reinforced concrete beams. Fatigue capacity of normal-strength reinforced concrete beams improved by over 60 percent.

Standard compression tests of steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) cylinders are conducted to formulate compressive stress versus compressive strain relationship of SFRC. Axial pullout tests of SFRC specimens are also conducted to explore its tensile stress strain relationship. Cover concrete spalling and reinforcement buckling models developed originally for normal reinforced concrete are modified to extend their application to SFRC. Thus obtained monotonic material models of concrete and reinforcing bars in SFRC members are combined with unloading/reloading loops used in the cyclic models of concrete and reinforcing bars in normal reinforced concrete. The resulting path-dependent cyclic material models are then incorporated in a finite-element based fiber analysis program. The applicability of these models at member level is verified by simulating cyclic lateral loading tests of SFRC columns under constant axial compression. The analysis using the proposed SFRC models yield results that are much closer to the experimental results than the analytical results obtained using the normal reinforced concrete models are.

The recycled concrete, average compressive strength of which was 2l0kg/cm$^2$ or higher with slump range of 14~18cm, was prepared by replacing 25% and 50% by weight of coarse aggregate with recycled aggregate from waste concrete. Mix design method for crushed aggregates was used and all specimens were cured by normal moisture curing method. A plasticiser and a fly ash were added to the mix to improve performance of recycled concrete. Flexural strength, stress- strain relationship and fracture toughness were evaluated by comparing with those of normal concretes. Recycled concrete showed, in general, lower flexural strength and fracture toughness, and higher strain under the same stress level. Fly ash in the concrete had an effect of reducing the strength and fracture toughness on both normal and recycled concretes. Since fly ash is known to improve many properties of concrete, while reducing strength properties, decision for using fly ash should be made carefully depending on the intended usage of the recycled concrete.

It was achieved to formulate numerically the stress-strain relationship of concrete, which is a fundamemtal factor for the Elasto-Plastic analysis of concrete structures, for normal concrete by using random statistics. As a result of experiment, in the shape of stress-strain curves of normal concrete it has approach linear from first loading to peak point, and after that point deformation increased radically and specimens were brokendown abruptly. From the multiple linear regression, and obtained the exponential equaion for stress-strain relationship of concrete as follows: $\sigma$/$\sigma$max=e(1-$\varepsilon$/$\varepsilon$max)$\varepsilon$/$\varepsilon$max

Although portland cement concrete is one of the most universal construction materials, it has some disadvantage such as shrinkage, which is an inherent characteristic. Because of this shrinkage, combined with the low tensile strength of the material, cracks of varying sizes can be found in every reinforced concrete. To prevent this cracking, keeping the concrete in compression by mechanical prestress has been used. This study discusses application of expansive additives for concrete to improve the serviceability of precast concrete box culvert by inducing chemical prestress. For this purpose, both expansive concrete slabs and normal concrete slabs are tested to verify the effect of expansive additives. Then the failure tests of the fullscale precast box culverts were carried out and the critical aspects of the structural behavior were investigated. The result of the material testis shows that the optimal proportion of expansive additives is 13 percent of cement weight, and the properties of expansive concrete are the same as those of normal concrete in that proportion. Both the experimental cracking load and service load of the expansive concrete members are increased in comparison with those of the normal concrete, but the ultimate load is decreased slightly. In addition to the above results, the deformation of expansive concrete member is lets than that of normal concrete member, and permanent strain which results from cyclic load is decreased. It can be concluded that the use of expansive additives to induce chemical prestress in precast concrete box culvert greatly improves the serviceability.
