This research aims to analyze the fracture coalescence characteristics of brittle sandstone specimen ($80{\times}160{\times}30mm$ in size) containing various flaws (a single fissure, double squares and combined flaws). Using a rock mechanics servo-controlled testing system, the strength and deformation behaviours of sandstone specimen containing various flaws are experimentally investigated. The results show that the crack initiation stress, uniaxial compressive strength and peak axial strain of specimen containing a single fissure are all higher than those containing double squares, while which are higher than those containing combined flaws. For sandstone specimen containing combined flaws, the uniaxial compressive strength of sandstone increase as fissure angle (${\alpha}$) increases from $30^{\circ}$ to $90^{\circ}$, which indicates that the specimens with steeper fissure angles can support higher axial capacity for ${\alpha}$ greater than $30^{\circ}$. In the entire deformation process of flawed sandstone specimen, crack evolution process is discussed detailed using photographic monitoring technique. For the specimen containing a single fissure, tensile wing cracks are first initiated at the upper and under tips of fissure, and anti-tensile cracks and far-field cracks are also observed in the deformation process; moreover anti-tensile cracks usually accompanies with tensile wing cracks. For the specimen containing double squares, tensile cracks are usually initiated from the top and bottom edge of two squares along the direction of axial stress, and in the process of final unstable failure, more vertical splitting failures are observed in the ligament region. When a single fissure and double squares are formed together into combined flaws, the crack coalescence between the fissure tips and double squares plays a significant role for ultimate failure of the specimen containing combined flaws.

Structural larger timber have some weak points as like much longer drying time at lower MC(15%), a considerable check developing and the difficulty for the chemicals injection, so it is necessary to develop lighter structural size member for using the new Hanok, heavy timber construction, living necessaries, furniture and industrial goods. The developed skin timber can be a good raw material for those uses. Skin timber is a hollowed timber which be bored out of its considerable cross-sectional area. The intention of this study was the evaluation of compressive capacity of skin timber. Specially, skin timbers which have more than 200mm in sizes were used to analyze the compressive capacity. From the results of this study, the following conclusions have been made: 1. Though considerable inner parts were bored out, both pine skin timber and larch skin timber showed a good compressive capacity to that of non-bored solid timber. 2. According to ASTM, pine skin timber showed various failure types, but Splitting type, Brooming and end rolling type were main failure types for the larch skin timber. 3. Pine skin timber didn't show the significance between cylindrical shape and rectangular shape, but larch skin timber showed the significance between two shapes. Therefore, for the larch skin timber, cylindrical shape and rectangular shape should be used as a column uses and beam uses respectively. 4. Pine skin timber and larch skin timber didn't show the significance on the compressive capacity. There is not much difference of compressive capacity between them, so it can be possible to select on the user convenience.

본 연구는 1축 및 2축 압축응력을 받는 고강도 콘크리트 및 섬유보강 고강도 콘크리트의 역학적 거동 및 재료 특성을 규명함에 목적이 있다. 이를 위하여, 본 연구에서는 82.7MPa(12,000psi) 뽀일 압축강도를 발현하는 고강도 콘크리트 및 섬유보강 고강도 콘크리트 큐브 시편을 제작하여 2축 압축 응력비($\sigma_2/\sigma_1$=0.00, 0.50 , 0.75, 1.00) 및 섬유혼입률($V_f$=0.0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5%)을 주된 실험 변수로 하는 실험을 수행하였다. 위 실험 연구를 통하여, 부응력 방향으로 도입된 구속응력은 주응력 방향으로의 강도 및 변형 거동에 좋은 개선 효과를 보이며, 고강도 콘크리트 및 강섬유 보강 고강도 콘크리트의 강성 및 극한강도가 현저히 증대되었음을 알 수 있었다. 또한 주응력 방향 및 부응력 방향 압축응력비($\sigma_2/\sigma_1$)가 0.5일 때 극한강도의 효과가 가장 크게 나타났으며, 최대 증진 효과는 1축의 그것과 비교할 때 약 $30\%$의 효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 1축 압축을 받는 고강도 보통 콘크리트 및 강섬유보강 콘크리트는 재하 방향과 평행한 쪼갬인장응력으로 인한 균열이 발생하는 것으로 나타났으나, 2축 압축을 받는 섬유보강 고강도 콘크리트는 전단 형태의 파괴가 일어났다. 본 실험 결과로부터 도출된 2축 압축 상태에서의 탄성계수 값은 ACI, CEB식에서 도출된 탄성계수보다 높게 나타났으며, 따라서 현재 사용되는 ACI 및 CEB 탄성계수 식은 2축 압축을 받는 고강도 콘크리트에도 적용이 가능한 것으로 사료된다.

최근 FRP 판을 이용한 표면매입 보강공법에서 FRP와 콘크리트 사이의 계면파괴를 연구하기 위한 실험 및 이론적인 연구가 국내외에서 수행되고 있다. 그 결과 보강재의 형상과 콘크리트 강도 그리고 부착길이 등에 대한 일련의 연구가 수행되었지만, 보강재의 부착길이에 따른 각 보강재의 적정 간격, 그리고 무리효과 등과 같은 영향인자들에 대한 연구 필요성이 제기되고 있다. 이에 따라 이 연구에서는 부착길이와 보강재인 FRP 판의 보강간격을 변수로 부착실험을 실시하고 그에 따른 부착성능의 변화를 연구하고자 한다. 또한 표면매입 보강된 FRP 판의 계면파괴시 강도를 산정하기 위한 기존 제안식과의 비교를 통하여 그 적용성을 평가하고자 한다. 연구 결과, 매입된 FRP의 간격이 넓어질수록 FRP판의 인장파단과 함께 내력이 증가하는 양상을 보이는 반면에 FRP판의 간격이 좁을수록 콘크리트 할렬파괴가 지배하는 것으로 나타났다. 기존 제안식을 이용하여 실험 결과를 비교한 결과, FRP의 부착길이와 무리효과를 고려한 기존 제안식을 사용하여 표면매입 보강된 FRP의 부착강도를 적절히 예측할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다.

First of all a good surgical access is considered among various approach methods to the cystic lesion. A poor surgical access can lead to a failure of the whole treatment. A sagittal split ramus osteotomy (SSRO) on the large cyst occurring in the mandibular ramus lets us not only reduce operation time, but can additionally contribute to a good visual field. In addition, a merit exists that it lets this operating method provide soft tissue adhesion for proximal and distal segment and decrease post operative necrosis. We experienced three cases of a large cyst on the mandibular angle and ramus. By employing a sagittal splitting of the mandible, it provided good surgical access and operation results without recurrence during a follow-up period. The surgical technique described may be helpful in treating similar large cysts.

This research is focused on obtaining the fracture property of steel fiber reinforced concrete(SFRC) specimens at early ages of 1, 2, 3 and 7-day, respectively. For this purpose, three point bending tests of nine groups of SFRC beams with notch of 40mm depth and different steel fiber ratios were conducted. The experimental results of early age specimens were compared with the 28-day hardened SFRC specimens. The test results indicated that the steel fiber ratios and curing age significantly influenced the fracture properties of SFRC. A reasonable addition of steel fiber improved the fracture toughness of SFRC, while the fracture energy of SFRC developed with curing age. Moreover, a quadratic relationship between splitting strength and fracture toughness was established based on the experiment results. Additionally, afinite element (FE) method was used to investigate the fracture properties of SFRC.A comparison between the FE analysis and experiment results was also made. The numerical analysis fitted well with the test results, and further details on the failure behaviors of SFRC could be revealed by the suggested numerical simulation method.

The impacts of reinforcing concrete matrix with steel fibers, polypropylene fibers and recycled plastic fibers using different volume fractions of 0.15%, 0.5%, 1.5% and 2.5% on the compressive and tensile characteristics are experimentally investigated in the current research. Also, flexural behavior of plain concrete (PC) beams, shear performance of reinforced concrete (RC) beams and compressive characteristics of both PC and RC columns reinforced with recycled plastic fibers were studied. The experimental results showed that the steel fibers improved the splitting tensile strength of concrete higher than both the polypropylene fibers and recycled plastic fibers. The end-hooked steel fibers had a positive effect on the compressive strength of concrete while, the polypropylene fibers, the recycled plastic fibers and the rounded steel fibers had a negative impact. Compressive strength of end-hooked steel fiber specimen with volume fraction of 2.5% exhibited the highest value among all tested samples of 32.48 MPa, 21.83% higher than the control specimen. The ultimate load, stiffness, ductility and failure patterns of PC and RC beams in addition to PC and RC columns strengthened with recycled plastic fibers enhanced remarkably compared to non-strengthened elements. The maximum ultimate load and stiffness of RC column reinforced with recycled plastic fibers with 1.5% volume fraction improved by 21 and 15%, respectively compared to non-reinforced RC column.

Fiber reinforced plastic (FRP) rods provide certain benefits over steel as concrete reinforcement, such as corrosion resistance, magnetic and electrical insulation, light weight, and high strength. FRP composites can be combined with a steel core to form hybrid reinforcing rods that take advantage of properties of both materials. The objective of this study was to characterize the bond behavior of hybrid FRP rods made with braided epoxy-impregnated aramid or poly-vinyl alcohol FRP skins. Eleven rod types were tested using two concrete strengths. Specific topics examined were bond strength, slip, and type of failure in concentric pull-out tests from concrete cubes. From analysis of identical pull-out tests on both hybrid and steel rods, information on relative bond strength and behavior were obtained. It is concluded that strength is similar but slip in hybrid rods is much higher. Hybrid rods failed either by pull-out or splitting the concrete block (with or without yielding of the steel core). Experimental data showed consistency with similar test results presented in the literature.

This paper describes the results obtained from 11 direct tension tests to explore the influence of concrete strength on tension stiffening behavior in reinforced concrete axial members. Three different concrete compressive strengths, 250, 650, and 900kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$, were included as a main variable, while the ratio of cover thickness-to-rebar diameter was kept constant to be 2.62 to prevent from splitting cracking. As the results, it was appeared that, as higher concrete strength was used, less tension stiffening effect was resulted, and the residual deformation upon unloading was larger. In addition, the spacing between adjacent transverse cracks became smaller with higher concrete strength. The major cause for those results may be attributed to the fact that nonuniform bond stress concentration at both loaded ends and crack sections becomes severer as higher concrete is used, thereby local bond failure becomes more susceptible. From these findings, it would be said the increase in flexural stiffness resulting from using high-strength concrete will be much smaller than that predicted by the conventional knowledge. Finally, a factor accunting for concrete strength was introduced to take account for the effect of HSC on tension stiffening. This proposed equation predicts well the tension stiffening for the effect of HSC on tension stiffening. This proposed equation predicts well the tension stiffening behavior of these tests.
