Deteriorative effects of steel corrosion on the structural response of reinforced concrete are simulated for varying degrees of corrosion. The simulation approach is based on a three-dimensional irregular lattice model of the bulk concrete, in which fracture is modeled using a crack band approach that conserves fracture energy. Frame elements and bond link elements represent the reinforcing steel and its interface with the concrete, respectively. Polylinear stress-slip properties of the link elements are determined, for several degrees of corrosion, through comparisons with direct pullout tests reported in the literature. The link properties are then used for the lattice modeling of reinforced concrete beams with similar degrees of corrosion of the main reinforcing steel. The model is successful in simulating several important effects of steel corrosion, including increased deflections, changes in flexural cracking behavior, and reduced yield load of the beam specimens.

The sliding wear behavior of $ZrO_2-22wt\%MgO\;(MZ)\;and\;ZrO_2-8wt\%Y_2O_3\;(YZ)$ deposited on a casting aluminum alloy with bond layer (NiCrCoAlY) by plasma spray against an SiC ball was investigated under dry test conditions at room temperature. At all load conditions, the wear mechanisms of the MZ and the YZ coatings were almost the same. The wear mechanisms involved the forming of a smooth film by material transferred on the sliding surface and pullout. The wear rate of the MZ coating was less than that of the YZ coating. With an increase normal load the wear rate of the studied coatings increased. The SEM was used to examine the sliding surfaces and elucidate likely wear mechanisms. The EDX analysis of the worn surface indicated that material transfer was occurred from the SiC ball to the disk. It was suggested that the material transfer played an important role in the wear performance.

This study simulates the flexural behavior of ultra-high-performance fiber-reinforced concrete (UHPFRC) beams reinforced with steel and glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) rebars. For this, micromechanics-based modeling was first carried out on the basis of single fiber pullout models considering inclination angle. Two different tension-softening curves (TSCs) with the assumptions of 2-dimensional (2-D) and 3-dimensional (3-D) random fiber orientations were obtained from the micromechanics-based modeling, and linear elastic compressive and tensile models before the occurrence of cracks were obtained from the mechanical tests and rule of mixture. Finite element analysis incorporating smeared crack model was used due to the multiple cracking behaviors of structural UHPFRC beams, and the characteristic length of two times the element width (or two times the average crack spacing at the peak load) was suggested as a result of parametric study. Analytical results showed that the assumption of 2-D random fiber orientation is appropriate to a non-reinforced UHPFRC beam, whereas the assumption of 3-D random fiber orientation is suitable for UHPFRC beams reinforced with steel and GFRP rebars due to disorder of fiber alignment from the internal reinforcements. The micromechanics-based finite element analysis also well predicted the serviceability deflections of UHPFRC beams with GFRP rebars and hybrid reinforcements.

RBSN Method, Rigid-Body-Spring Network Method, is a structural analysis method that overcomes the problems faced in FEM analysis of concrete or crack forming structures. In RBSN, irregular lattices are used to model structural components consisting of bulk material, curvilinear reinforcements, and their interfaces. Because reinforcements and their interfaces in the bulk material are freely positioned, meshing is irrespective of the geometry of the representing bulk material. In this paper, RBSN method of 3D is applied in simulating the pull-out test of FRP (Fiber Reinforced Polymer) embedded in concrete. The comparison of analysis results to experimental results shows that RBSN method simulates the shear-slip behavior very precisely. From the analysis results, 3D RBSN method is proven to be an effective and accurate analysis method for concrete structural analysis. Also, the results show that RBSN method can be a potential analysis method for concrete structures that can replace the current FEM analysis.

In this study, 3D Meso-scale finite-element model is presented to study the mechanical behavior of steel microfiber-reinforced polymer concrete considering the random distribution of fibers in the matrix. The composite comprises two separate parts which are the polymer composite and steel microfibers. The polymer composite is assumed to be homogeneous, which its mechanical properties are measured by performing experimental tests. The steel microfiber-polymer bonding is simulated with the Cohesive Zone Model (CZM) to offer more-realistic assumptions. The CZM parameters are obtained by calibrating the numerical model using the results of the experimental pullout tests on an individual microfiber. The accuracy of the results is validated by comparing the obtained results with the corresponding values attained from testing the steel microfiber-reinforced polymer concrete incorporating 0, 1 and 2% by volume of microfibers, which indicates the excellent accuracy of the current proposed model. The results show that the microfiber aspect ratio has a considerable effect on the mechanical properties of the reinforced polymer concrete. Applying microfibers with a higher aspect ratio improves the mechanical properties of the composite considerably especially when the first crack appears in the polymer concrete specimens.

This paper aimed to study the local bond-slip behavior between ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) and a reinforcing bar after exposure to high temperatures. A series of pull-out tests were carried out on cubic specimens of size 150×150×150 mm with deformed steel bar embedded for a fixed length of three times the diameter of the tested deformed bar. The experimental results of the bond stress-slip relationship were compared with the Euro-International Concrete Committee (CEB-Comite Euro-International du Beton)-International Federation for Prestressing (FIP-Federation Internationale de la Precontrainte) Model Code and with prediction models found in the literature. In addition, based on the test results, an empirical model of the bond stress-slip relationship was proposed. The evaluation and comparison results showed that the modified CEB-FIP Model code 2010 proposed by Aslani and Samali for the local bond stress-slip relationship for UHPC after exposure to high temperatures was more conservative. In contrast, for both room temperature and after exposure to high temperatures, the modified CEB-FIP Model Code 2010 local bond stress-slip model for UHPC proposed in this study was able to predict the test results with reasonable accuracy.

장섬유 강화 마그네슘 복합제(FP/ZE41A)의 피로 균열 성장 거동에 대한 열처리 효과를 규명한 것으로 TEM관측에 의해 알루미나 섬유와 마그네슘 복합 매트릭스간의 상호 접변을 완화시키기 위하여 풀림을 실시하였다. 피로 균열 성장 방향에 수직한 섬유와 평행한 섬유들에 대한 피로 균열 성장 거동에 관한 실험을 실시 한 바, 피로 균열 성장 방향에 수직한 시험편의 경우 열처리를 실시한 시험편은 잔류 응력을 제거시키지 않은 시험편에 비해 피로 균열 성장에 대한 더 많은 저항성을 갖고 있음을 알수 있었다. 그러나, 이에 반해 피로 균열 성장 방향에 평행한 시험편의 경우는 잔류 응력을 제거시키지 않은 시험편 이 열처리를 실시한 시험편에 비해 더 많은 피로 균열 성장 저항성을 내포하고 있다는 피로 균열 성장 거동에 대한 차이점을 발견할 수 있었다. 피로 파괴 표면에 대한 연성 파열과 섬유 박리를 SEM관찰한 결과 열처리는 피로균열 성장 거동에서 지적된 바와 같이 섬유와 매트릭스 상호면의 강도를 약화시킨다는 것을 알 수 있었다.

NR/NBR 혼합고무 컴파운드의 기계적 물성과 아연 및 황동피복 강선과의 접착특성에 대해 NR/NBR 조성비에 대한 함수로 조사하였다. Mooney 점도와 응력이완시간은 NBR 함량의 증가에 따라 감소하였다. NBR 함량증가에 따라 모듈러스는 전반적으로 증가하였고, 인장강도의 경우 NBR 함량이 40 phr 이하일 경우 유사한 수준을 보이다가 $50{\sim}60\;phr$일 때 최소치를 보인 후 다시 증가하는 경향을 보인 반면, 파괴점에서의 변형은 NBR 함량이 50 phr 이하의 범위에서는 선형적인 감소를 보인 후 50 phr 이후에서는 거의 유사한 수준을 보였다. NR/NBR 혼합고무 컴파운드는 NR과 NBR의 유리전이온도인 $-10^{\circ}C$와 $-55^{\circ}C$에서 탄성모듈러스의 급격한 전이와 tan ${\delta}$ 피크를 나타내 비상용성 블렌드의 거동을 나타내었다. 접착력(pullout force)과 rubber coverage 공히 NBR 함량이 증가함에 따라 급격히 감소하여 NR/NBR 혼합비가 50/50인 경우 NR 컴파운드 대비 약 40% 수준을 보였고, 순수한 NBR 컴파운드의 경우 접착력은 다시 증가하여 NR 컴파운드 대비 약 90% 수준의 접착력을 보였다. Auger spectrometer 분석결과 NBR 함량이 증가할수록 황함량이 감소하였고, 이는 강선-고무간 접착계면에서 접착층이 충분히 성장하지 못했다는 것을 의미하고 접착성능 하락의 원인으로 해석하였다.

쏘일네일링공법은 굴착벽체나 사면을 안정화시키기 위한 보강공법으로서, 시공성과 경제성의 이점으로 인해서 그 사용량이 증가하고 있다. 그러나 쏘일네일링공법은 대지경계선 뒤쪽으로의 시공이 불가피하며 이는 대지점용료의 문제를 초래하게 된다. 이러한 이유로 제거식 쏘일네일링공법이 개발되었으나 제거식 쏘일네일의 제거율은 50 ~ 70% 정도 밖에 미치지 못하고 있다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위하여 제거가 불필요하고 대지경계선 뒤쪽의 삽입시 지주의 동의가 필요없는 섬유보강플라스틱(FRP) 쏘일네일이 개발되었다. 본 연구에서는 시험시공 및 인발시험과 같은 현장시험과 수치해석을 통하여 FRP 쏘일네일링 시스템의 안정성과 거동특성을 평가하였다. 그리고 다양한 지반조건에서 현장시험시공과 인발시험을 묘사하기 위한 수치해석(FLAC 2D)을 실시하였다. 본 연구결과, 제거식 쏘일네일링 시스템과 비교하여 FRP 쏘일네일링 시스템은 제거식 쏘일네일과 유사한 거동특성을 나타냈다. 따라서, FRP 쏘일네일의 사용성과 안정성이 사용하기에 충분한 것으로 나타났으며 기존의 제거식 쏘일네일에 대한 좋은 대안이 될 것으로 기대된다.

The use of helical anchors has been extensively beyond their traditional use in the electrical power industry in recent years. They are commonly used in more traditional civil engineering infrastructure applications so that the advantages of rapid installation and immediate loading capability. The majority of the research has been directed toward the tensile uplift behaviour of single anchors (only one plate) by far. However, anchors commonly have more than one plate. Moreover, no thorough numerical and experimental analyses have been performed to determine the ultimate pullout loads of multi-plate anchors. The understanding of behavior of these anchors is unsatisfactory and the existing design methods have shown to be largely inappropriate and inadequate for a framework adopted by engineers. So, a better understanding of helical anchor behavior will lead to increased confidence in design, a wider acceptance as a foundation alternative, and more economic and safer designs. The main aim of this research is to use numerical modeling techniques to better understand multi-plate helical anchor foundation behavior in soft clay soils. Experimental and numerical investigations into the uplift capacity of helical anchor in soft clay have been conducted in this study. A total of 6 laboratory tests were carried out using helical anchor plate with a diameter of 0.05 m. The results of physical and computational studies investigating the uplift response of helical anchors in soft clay show that maximum resistances depend on anchor embedment ratio and anchor spacing ratio S/D. Agreement between uplift capacities from laboratory tests and finite element modelling using PLAXIS is excellent for anchors up to embedment ratios of 6.
