This paper investigated the engineering properties of cement mortar mixed with more than 2 kinds of sand. For fresh mortar properties, unit volume weight is constant regardless of mixing content and type of sand. An increase in contents of river and crushed sand resulted in an increase in flow, whereas an increase in recycled sand contents reduced flow. Gap between maximum flow in N3C0R0 and minimum flow in N0C0R3 exhibited about $12\%$. Compressive strength at 28 days ranged from 32 to 36 MPa in order for crushed sand, river sand and recycled sand. Mortar with mixed sand along with river sand and crushed sand showed compressive strength comparable to crushed sand. An increase of fraction of recycled sand in mixed sand resulted in a decrease in compressive strength. For drying shrinkage, N0C0R3 had the largest drying shrinkage among various mixture type. The combination of large contents of recycled sand and small contents of river and crushed sand had a large amount of drying shrinkage.

For the damage tolerance improvement of conventional laminated composites, stitching process has been utilized for providing through-thickness reinforcements. 2D prefonl1S were stacked with S-2 glass plain weave, and 3D preforms were fabricated using the stitching process. For the matrix system, epoxy and phenol resins were considered. To examine the damage resistance performance the low velocity drop weight impact test has been carried out, and the impact damage was examined by scanning image. CAI (Compressive After Ih1paet) tests were also conducted to evaluate residual compressive strength. Compared with 2D epoxy composites, 2D phenol composites showed drastic reduction in the compressive strength prior to impact because of the higher contents of voids. The damage area of 2D phenol composites were also larger than that of 2D epoxy composites. However, by introducing the stitching, the damage area of 3D phenol composites was reduced by 60%, while the CAI strength improvement was negligible.

The early prediction of Compressive Strength of Concrete (CSC) is a significant task in the civil engineering construction projects. This study, therefore, is dedicated to introducing two novel hybrids of neural computing, namely Shuffled Complex Evolution (SCE) and Teaching-Learning-Based Optimization (TLBO) for predicting the CSC. The algorithms are applied to a Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP) network to create the SCE-MLP and TLBO-MLP ensembles. The results revealed that, first, intelligent models can properly handle analyzing and generalizing the non-linear relationship between the CSC and its influential parameters. For example, the smallest and largest values of the CSC were 17.19 and 58.53 MPa, and the outputs of the MLP, SCE-MLP, and TLBO-MLP range in [17.61, 54.36], [17.69, 55.55] and [18.07, 53.83], respectively. Second, applying the SCE and TLBO optimizers resulted in increasing the correlation of the MLP products from 93.58 to 97.32 and 97.22%, respectively. The prediction error was also reduced by around 34 and 31% which indicates the high efficiency of these algorithms. Moreover, regarding the computation time needed to implement the SCE-MLP and TLBO-MLP models, the SCE is a considerably more time-efficient optimizer. Nevertheless, both suggested models can be promising substitutes for laboratory and destructive CSC evaluative models.

This paper evaluates the efficacy of magnesium potassium phosphate cements (MKPCs) as waste forms for the solidification of radioactive concrete powder wastes produced by the decommissioning of nuclear power plants. MKPC specimens that contained up to 50 wt% of simulated concrete powder wastes (SCPWs) were evaluated. We measured the porosity and compressive strength of the MKPC specimens, observing them using scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction. The addition of SCPWs reduced the porosity and increased the compressive strength of the MKPC specimens. Struvite-K crystals were well-synthesized, and no additional crystal phase was formed. After thermal cycling and after immersion, MKPC specimens with 50 wt% SCPWs satisfied the waste-acceptance criteria (WAC) for compressive strength. Semi-dynamic leaching tests were performed using the ANS 16.1 method; the leachability indices of Cs, Co, and Sr were 11.45, 17.63, and 15.66, respectively, which also satisfy the WAC. Thus, MKPCs can provide stable matrices to immobilize radioactive concrete wastes generated by the decommissioning of nuclear power plants.

최근 해양 콘크리트 구조물의 염해 및 수화열 저감을 위한 재료적 대책으로 혼합시멘트의 사용이 증가하고 있다. 혼합시멘트는 염해 및 수화열 저감 성능이 우수한 결합재이지만 재령 28일까지의 압축강도 발현이 작은 특징이 있다. 그러나 현행 해양 콘크리트 시방 규정은 높은 수준의 설계기준 압축강도를 재령 28일에 엄격히 만족하도록 되어 있다. 따라서 혼합시멘트를 사용하면 물-결합재비는 작고 단위결합재량은 많은 해양 콘크리트 배합이 예상된다. 이와 같이 높은 압축강도 위주의 해양 콘크리트 배합은 염해 내구성 확보에 유리하지만 수화열 저감에는 불리하다. 따라서 이 연구에서는 물-결합재비 및 결합재 종류에 따른 해양 콘크리트의 재료적 특성을 실험적으로 검토하고 예측하였다. 검토 및 예측 결과, 고로슬래그시멘트(BSC) 및 삼성분계 혼합시멘트(TBC) 배합은 1종 보통포틀랜드시멘트(OPC) 배합보다 재령 28일까지의 압축강도 발현은 상대적으로 작지만 재령 56일에는 유사한 압축강도를 발현하였으며 염해 및 수화열에 유리한 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 현행 해양 콘크리트의 최소 설계기준 압축강도를 만족하기 위해서는 단열온도 상승량이 크게 증가하는 것으로 예측되어 이에 대한 대책이 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

최근, 혼화재를 사용한 콘크리트는 많은 실험실에서 콘크리트에 연구되고 있으며 실제로 건설 현장에 적용되고 있다. 하지만 혼화재를 사용한 콘크리트의 압축 강도의 추정에 대한 체계적인 연구 결과가 존재하지 않기 때문에 일본의 보통 강도 콘크리트에 대한 제안식을 사용하고 있다. 그래서 혼화재를 사용한 콘크리트의 압축 강도의 추정에 대한 비파괴 시험식을 제안하는 것이 필수적입니다. 따라서 본 연구는 혼화재 사용한 콘크리트에 대하여 원주형 공시체와 코어채취용 구조체를 제작하여 비파괴 시험과 파괴 시험을 통해 장기 재령(4년)에 대한 강도 추정식을 제안한 것으로, 그 결론은 다음과 같다. 기존 제안식과 본 연구 추정식의 오차율을 비교한 결과, 재령별로 다소 차이는 있지만 반발 경도법에 의한 기존 제안식보다는 0.3 %~115.0 % 정도, 초음파속도법에 의한 기존제안식보다는 0.2 %~22.8 % 정도, 복합법에 의한 기존제안식보다는 0.5 %~102.3 % 정도로 기존의 제안식보다 본 연구의 추정식 오차율이 감소하여 혼화재를 사용한 콘크리트에 사용이 바람직할 것으로 판단된다.

물-결합재 비(W/B)가 낮고 결합재량이 많은 고성능 콘크리트에는 자기수축이 많이 발생한다. 자기수축은 외부로부터 콘크리트로의 수분 이동이 없는 상태에서 시멘트의 수화반응에 의한 물의 소비 결과로 나타나는 자기건조에 의해 발생한다. 본 연구에서는 플라이애시의 사용 유무에 따른 고성능 콘크리트의 자기수축 특성을 실험을 통해 조사하였다. 또한 시간에 따른 슬럼프 및 플로우 변화, 공기량 등의 굳지 않은 콘크리트의 성질과 압축강도, 탄성계수 등의 역학적 성질에 대한 실험을 수행하였다. 실험결과, W/B가 낮을수록 자기수축이 증가하였으며, W/B가 동일한 경우 플라이애시를 사용하면 재령 초기에 콘크리트의 압축강도가 다소 느리게 발현되지만, 자기수축은 상당히 감소하였다. 또한, W/B가 낮은 고강도 콘크리트일수록 이른 재령에서 보통강도 콘크리트에 비하여 자기수축과 압축강도의 발현률이 크게 나타났다. 이상의 실험 결과로부터, 플라이애시를 사용하여 고성능 콘크리트의 제조가 가능하며 자기수축을 줄일 수 있다는 결론을 얻었다.

Reinforced concrete(R/C) is commonly used to structures because they have many merits that compressive strength, economy and so on. However, reinforced concrete has a crack at the tensile section which is due to the relatively lower tensile strength than its compressive strength Latex modified concrete(LMC) has higher tensile and flexural strength than the ordinary portland cement, due to the interconnections of hydrated cement and aggregates by a film of latex particles. The purpose of this study was to investigate the flexural behavior of reinforced concrete beam with latex modified concrete, having the main experimental variables such as concrete types(ordinary portland cement concrete, latex modified concrete), latex contents(0%, 15%), flexural steel ratios(0.012, 0.0235), and with/without shear reinforcement. The beam of LMC showed considerably higher initial cracking loads and ductility than that of OPC, but, similar to ultimate strength and deflection. This might be attributed to the interlocking of hydrated cement and aggregates by a film of latex particles, water retention due to hydrophobic, and colloidal properties of the latexes resulting in reduced water evaporation. The beam with latex modified concrete could be adopted at field for controlling and reducing the tensile crack due to its higher tensile strength.

This paper deals with the experimental study on strength the strength and deformation characteristics of short circular Concrete Filled Steel Tube (CFST) columns. Effect of vertical stiffeners on the behavior of the column is studied under axial compressive loading. Intermittently welded vertical stiffeners are used to strengthen the tubes. Stiffeners are attached to the inner surface of tube by welding through pre drilled holes on the tube. The variable of the study is the spacing of the weld between stiffeners and circular tube. A total of 5 specimens with different weld spacing (60 mm, 75 mm, 100 mm, 150 mm and 350 mm) were prepared and tested. Short CFST columns of height 350 mm, outer tube diameter of 165 mm and thickness of 4.5 mm were used in the study. Concrete of cube compressive strength $41N/mm^2$ and steel tubes with yield strength $310N/mm^2$ are adopted. The test results indicate that the strength and deformation of the circular CFST column is found to be significantly influenced by the weld spacing. The ultimate axial load carrying capacity was found to increase by 11% when the spacing of weld is reduced from 350 mm to 60 mm. The vertical stiffeners are found to effective in enhancing the initial stiffness and ductility of CFST columns. The prediction models were developed for strength and deformation of CFST columns. The prediction is found to be in good agreement with the corresponding test data.
