Composite piles have been used in ground conditions where conventional piles are unsuitable or uneconomical. They may consist of a combination of timber and concrete pile in Europe. One method of doing this was to drive a steel tube to just below water level, and a concrete pile was lowered down it and driven to the required level where corrosion was susceptible in U.K. Recently, a fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composite pile was developed to use in many marine locations for piers and waterfront buildings in the USA(Hoy, 1995; Phair, 1997). A steel composite (SC) pile reinforced concrete spun pile with steel tube was also proposed and used for the foundation acting a high lateral earthquake load. Composite piles have been developed and researched to increase lateral resistance or to prevent corrosion in marine structures. In paper, the composite pile consisting of the steel upper portion and the concrete lower portion is proposed and are carried out several tests to confirm the capacity of the pile such as lateral load test, dynamic load tests and bending test. It is noted that the composite pile would be a economical pile being capable of increasing lateral resistance.

최근 국내에서는 노후화된 도심지 도로 등을 신속하게 보수하기 위하여 초속경 콘크리트-폴리머 복합체를 사용하는 사례가 증가하고 있다. 그러나, 초속경 콘크리트-폴리머 복합체의 주재료로 사용되는 초속경시멘트와 폴리머의 높은 가격과 큰 환경부하로 보다 경제적이고 친환경적인 재료의 개발이 요구된다. 이에 본 연구에서는 제강슬래그를 재활용하여 환경부하가 작은 CAC 및 GC를 초속경시멘트에 일부 치환한 초속경 콘크리트-폴리머 복합체의 특성을 폴리머 종류별로 검토함으로써 초속경시멘트의 대체재로서 CAC 및 GC의 활용가능 여부와 초속경 콘크리트-폴리머 복합체의 성능향상 가능성을 검토하였다. 그 결과 CAC 및 GC를 초속경시멘트에 일부 치환한 경우의 압축강도, 인장강도, 휨강도, 접착강도 및 탄성계수는 초기재령인 3시간에서는 기존보다 명확히 높은 값을 보였고, 그 이후의 재령에서는 거의 동등한 수준의 값을 보였다. 폴리머 디스퍼션 종류에 따라서는 BPD를 사용한 경우가 강도측면에서는 전반적으로 우수하였지만, 탄성계수는 동등한 수준을 보였다. 이상의 결과로부터 초속경 콘크리트-폴리머 복합체 제조용 시멘트로서 CAC 및 GC의 일부 대체사용이 가능하고, 폴리머 디스퍼션으로 BPD를 사용 시 초속경 콘크리트-폴리머 복합체의 성능향상도 가능한 것으로 나타났다.

Based on the experiment, this paper focuses on studying flexural behavior of splicing concrete-filled glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) tubular composite members connected with steel bars. The test results indicated the confinement effects of GFRP tubes on the concrete core in compression zone began to produce, when the load reached about $50%P_u$ ($P_u$-ultimate load), but the confinement effects in tensile zone was unobvious. In addition, the failure modes of composite members were influenced by the steel ratio of the joint. For splicing unreinforced composite members, the steel ratio more than 1.96% could satisfy the splicing requirements and the steel ratio 2.94% was ideal comparatively. For splicing reinforced specimen, the bearing capacity of specimen with 3.92% steel ratio was higher 21.4% than specimen with 2.94% steel ratio and the latter was higher 21.2% than the contrast non-splicing specimen, which indicated that the steel ratio more than 2.94% could satisfy the splicing requirements and both splicing ways used in the experiment were feasible. So, the optimal steel ratio 2.94% was suggested economically. The experimental results also indicated that the carrying capacity and ductility of splicing concrete-filled GFRP tubular composite members could be improved by setting internal longitudinal rebars.

Currently, polymer matrix nanocomposites (PMCs) are a prominent area of research due to their outstanding mechanical, thermal, and durability properties. The increase in recent studies justifies the possibility of using PMCs in structural retrofitting and reconstruction of damaged infrastructure and serving as new structural material. Using nanotechnology, nanocomposite panels in flooring combine concrete and steel, providing a very high level of performance. In sports flooring, high-performance concrete has become a challenge for reducing sports injuries and refinement in rehabilitation. As a composite material, this type of resistant concrete is one of the most durable and complex multi-phase materials. This article uses polyvinyl alcohol polymer (PVC) and multi-walled carbon nanotubes as concrete matrix fillers. Solution methods have been used for dispersing PVC and carbon nanotubes in concrete. The water-cement ratio, carbon nanotube weight ratio, and heat treatment parameters influenced the concrete nanocomposite's tensile and compressive strength. The dispersion of carbon nanotubes in cement paste and the observation of nano-microcracks in concrete was evaluated by scanning electron microscope (SEM).

Fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) applications in the structural engineering field include concrete-FRP composite systems, where FRP components are either attached to or embedded into concrete structures to improve their structural performance. This paper presents the results of an analytical study conducted using finite element model (FEM) to simulate the behavior of three-points load beam reinforced with GFRP and/or steel bars. To calibrate the FEM, a small-scale experimental program was carried out using six reinforced concrete beams with $200{\times}200mm$ cross section and 1000 mm length cast and tested under three point bending load. The six beams were divided into three groups, each group contained two beams. The first group was a reference beams which was cast without any reinforcement, the second group concrete beams was reinforced using GFRP, and the third group concrete beams was reinforced with steel bars. Nonlinear finite element simulations were executed using ANSYS software package. The difference between the theoretical and experimental results of beams vertical deflection and beams crack shapes were within acceptable degree of accuracy. Parametric study using the calibrated model was carried out to evaluate two parameters (1) effect of number and position of longitudinal main bars on beam behavior; (2) performance of concrete beam with composite longitudinal reinforcement steel and GFRP bars.

Recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) is rarely used in load-carrying structural members. To widen its structural application, the compressive behavior of a promising type of composite column, steel-fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) double-tube confined RAC column, has been experimentally and analytically investigated in this study. The objectives are the different performance of such columns from their counterparts using natural aggregate concrete (NAC) and the different mechanisms of the double-tube and single-tube confined concrete. The single-tube confined concrete refers to that in concrete-filled steel tubular (CFST) columns and concrete-filled FRP tubular (CFFT) columns. The test results showed that the use of recycled coarse aggregates (RCA) affected the axial load-strain response in terms of deformation capacity but such effect could be eliminated with the increasing confinement. The composite effect can be triggered by the double confinement of the steel and carbon FRP (CFRP) tubes but not by the steel and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) FRP tubes. The proposed analysis-oriented stress-strain model is capable to capture the load-deformation history of such steel-FRP double-tube confined concrete columns under axial compression.

A significant component of many civil constructions such as buildings, reservoirs, bridges, and sports halls, concrete has become increasingly popular due to its versatile properties. Concrete's internal characteristics change due to the use of different types of fibers, including changes in its microstructure, volume, and hole dimensions. Additionally, the type, dimensions, and distribution of fibers in concrete can affect the results of flexural strength tests by affecting its compressive and tensile strength. Due to a lack of information, fiber concrete is a new composite material in the production industry that requires laboratory studies to determine its behavior. This study investigated the bending behavior of multilayer slabs made of concrete reinforced by polyamide-propylene fibers against impact in weight lifting exercises. Results showed that adding fibers to concrete slab samples improved the mechanical properties while replacing them hurt the mechanical properties and failure of polymer fiber-reinforced concrete. On the other hand, adding and replacing fibers increases durability and has a positive effect.

본 연구에서는 공항 포장용 유지보수 재료로 사용되는 폴리머 콘크리트의 자외선 노출에 대한 기계적 물성 변화를 확인하기 위해 자외선 노출 전/후 시편의 압축강도 및 연성인자의 변화를 평가하였다. 현재 공항 포장용으로 사용되는 폴리머 콘크리트의 비율과 선행연구를 통해 얻은 최적 배합비율을 참고하여 시편을 제작하였다. 자외선 발생 램프의 출력을 고려하여 자연상태에서 노출되는 등가시간을 계산한 후 최대 3년에 해당하는 시간만큼의 등가시간 동안 시편을 노출시켰다. 실험결과, 자외선 노출 자체는 재료물성에 거의 영향을 주지 않았으며, 자외선 노출에 따른 온도상승에 의한 재료물성 변화가 주로 관찰되었다. 자외선에 의해 발생된 열에 노출된 후 모든 시편에서 인성은 감소하고, 압축강도는 증가하는 경향을 나타내었다.

Recently, polymer-clay hybrid materials have received considerable attention from both a fundamental research and application point of view. This organ-inorganic hybrid, which contains a nanoscale dispersion of the layered silicates, is a material with greatly improved thermal and mechanical characteristics. Two classes of nanocomposites were synthesized using an unsaturated polyester resin as the matrix and sodium montmorillonite as well as an organically modified montmorillonite as the reinforcing agents. X -ray diffraction pattern of the composites showed that the interlayer spacing of the modified montmorillonite were exfoliated in polymer matrix. The mechanical properties also supported these findings, since in general, tensile strength, modulus with modified montmorillonite were higher than the corresponding properties of the composites with unmodified montmorillonite. Adding organically modified clay improved the tensile strength of unsaturated polyester by $22\%$ and the tensile modulus of unsaturated polyester was also improved by $34\%$.

폴리머 복합체는 우수한 강도와 내구성으로 건설현장에서 프리캐스트 부재 및 보수, 보강재로서 널리 쓰이고 있어 폴리머 복합체의 경제성 및 성능 향상에 관한 연구가 이루어지고 있다. 폴리머 나노 복합체는 나노미터 수준의 크기를 가진 Clay 등의 무기 물질을 나노분산 상으로 폴리머에 균일 혼합시킨 것으로 산업적 응용가능성 면에서 뿐만 아니라 재료 및 공학분야에서도 많은 관심을 가지고 있다. 그리고 기존의 복합체 보다 1/10 혹은 그 이상의 낮은 함량의 분산상만으로도 더 우수한 강도와 역학적 특성 및 열안정성을 나타낸다. 본 실험에서는 폴리머 복합체의 성능을 향상시키고자 유기화된 몬모릴로나이트(MMT)와 유기화 되지 않은 몬모릴로나이트(MMT)를 사용하여 박리된 MMT-UP 나노 복합체를 제조하였다. XRD와 TEM실험결과, Cloisite 30B-UP 나노 복합체에서 층과 층 사이가 $100{\AA}$ 이상 떨어져 단일층으로 분산되었기 때문에 박리가 되었음을 알 수 있었다. 또한 역학적 특성은 기존복합체보다 인장강도와 인장탄성계수을 비교하였을 때 매우 향상됨을 알 수 있었고 열적 특성도 기존복합체보다 우수한 함을 나타내었다. 박리정도가 우수한 MMT-UP 복합체로 제조한 폴리머 콘크리트에서도 순수한 UP를 사용한 것보다 역학적 특성이 두드러졌다. 또한 폴리머 콘크리트의 강도와 탄성계수는 MMT-UP 복합체의 인장강도 및 인장탄성계수와 상관성을 갖는 것으로 판단된다.
