The brittleness of concrete can be overcome by fiber reinforcement that controls the crack mechanisms of concrete. Corrosion-related durability issues can be prevented by synthetic fibers (SFs), while macro synthetic fibers have proven to be particularly effective to provide ductility and toughness after cracks. This experimental study has been performed to investigate the comparative flexural and mechanical behavior of four different macro-synthetic fiber-reinforced concretes (SFRCs). Two polyamide fibers (SF1 and SF2) with different aspect ratios and two different polypropylene fiber types (SF3 and SF4) were used in production of SFRCs. Four different SFRCs and reference concrete were compared for their influences on the toughness, compressive strength, elastic modulus, flexural strength, residual strength and splitting tensile strength. The outcomes of the study reveal that the flowability of reference mixture decreases after addition of SFs and the air voids of all SFRC mixtures increased with the addition of macro-synthetic fibers except SFRC2 mixture whose air content is the same as the reference mixture. The results also revealed that with the inclusion of SFs, 11.34% reduction in the cube compressive strength was noted for SFRC4 based on that of reference specimens and both reference concrete and SFRC exhibited nearly similar cylindrical compressive strength. Results illustrated that SFRC1 and SFRC4 mixtures consistently provide the highest and lowest flexural toughness values of 36.4 joule and 27.7 joule respectively. The toughness values of SFRC3 and SFRC4 are very near to each other.

To obtain the dynamic mechanical properties, fracture modes, energy and brittleness characteristics of Furong Baijiao coal rock, the dynamic impact compression tests under 0, 4, 8 and 12 MPa confining pressure were carried out using the split Hopkinson pressure bar. The results show that failure mode of coal rock in uniaxial state is axial splitting failure, while it is mainly compression-shear failure with tensile failure in triaxial state. With strain rate and confining pressure increasing, compressive strength and peak strain increase, average fragmentation increases and fractal dimension decreases. Based on energy dissipation theory, the dissipated energy density of coal rock increases gradually with growing confining pressure, but it has little correlation with strain rate. Considering progressive destruction process of coal rock, damage variable was defined as the ratio of dissipated energy density to total absorbed energy density. The maximum damage rate was obtained by deriving damage variable to reflect its maximum failure severity, then a brittleness index BD was established based on the maximum damage rate. BD value declined gradually as confining pressure and strain rate increase, indicating the decrease of brittleness and destruction degree. When confining pressure rises to 12 MPa, brittleness index and average fragmentation gradually stabilize, which shows confining pressure growing cannot cause continuous damage. Finally, integrating dynamic deformation and destruction process of coal rock and according to its final failure characteristics under different confining pressures, BD value is used to classify the brittleness into four grades.

This review article highlights the physical, mechanical, and chemical properties of coconut shells, and the fresh and hardened properties of the coconut shell concrete are summarized and were compared with other types of aggregates. Furthermore, the structural behavior in terms of flexural, shear, and torsion was also highlighted, with other properties including shrinkage, elastic modulus, and permeability of the coconut shell concrete. Based on the reviewed literature, concrete containing coconut shell as coarse aggregate with normal sand as fine showed the 28-day compressive strength between 2 and 36 MPa with the dried density range of 1865 to 2300 kg/m³. Coconut shell concretes showed a 28-day modulus of rupture and splitting tensile strength values in the ranges of 2.59 to 8.45 MPa and 0.8 to 3.70 MPa, respectively, and these values were in the range of 5-20% of the compressive strength. The flexural behavior of CSC was found similar to other types of lightweight concrete. There were no horizontal cracks on beams which indicate no bond failure. Whereas, the diagonal shear failure was prominent in beams with no shear reinforcements while flexural failure mode was seen in beams having shear reinforcement. Under torsion, CSC beams behave like conventional concrete. Finally, future recommendations are also suggested in this study to investigate the innovative lightweight aggregate concrete based on the environmental and financial design factors.

With the improvements in computer technologies, utilization of image processing techniques has increased in many areas (such as medicine, defence industry, other industries etc.) Many different image processing techniques are used for surface analysis, detection of manufacturing defects, and determination of physical and mechanical characteristics of composite materials. In this study, cementitious composites were obtained by addition of Grounded Granulated Blast-Furnace Slag (GGBFS), Styrene Butadiene polymer (SBR), and Grounded Granulated Blast-Furnace Slag and Styrene Butadiene polymer together (GGBFS+SBR). Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) beads were added to these cementitious composites in different ratios (20%, 40% and 60%). The mechanical and physical characteristics of the composites were determined, and homogeneity indexes of the composites were determined by image processing techniques to determine EPS distribution forms in them. Physical and mechanical characteristics of the produced samples were obtained by applying consistency, density, water absorption, compressive strength (7 and 28 days), flexural strength (7 and 28 days) and tensile splitting strength (7 and 28 days) tests on them. Also, visual examination by using digital microscope, and image analysis by using image processing techniques with open source coded ImageJ program were performed. As a result of the study, it is determined that GGBFS and SBR addition strengthens the adhesion sites formed as it increases the adhesion power of the mixture and helps to get rid of the segregation problem caused by EPS. As a result of the image processing analysis it is demonstrated that GGBFS and SBR addition has positive contribution on homogeneity index.

This study was attempted to investigate the mechanical properties of concrete and crack control effects of reinforced concrete with steel and glass fiber. The experimental program includes tests on the properties of fresh concrete containing fibers, compressive strength, tensile strength, flexural strength, Young's modulus, Shrinkage and deformation of steel or glass fiber reinforced concrete. Also this study was carried out to investigate the effect of steel or glass fiber to retard the development in reinforced concrete subject to uniaxial tension and thus facilitate the use of steels of higher strength. The major conclusions that can be drawn from the studies are as follows: 1. The effect of the fibers in various mixes on fresh concrete confirmed that fibers do have a significant effect on the properties of fresh concrete, bringing much more stable and exhibiting a signiflcant reduction in surface bleeding, and that the cohesion is greatly improved and the internal resistance increases with fiber concentration. But the addition of an excess contents and length of fibers brings about the reduction of workability. 2. With the addition of steel fibers(1.5% Vol.) to concrete, the compressive strength as compared with plain concrete showed a very slight increase, but excess addition, over 1.5% Vol. of steel and glass fiber reduced its strength. 3. Splitting tensile strength of fiber reinforced concrete showed a significant increase tendency, as compared with plain concrete. In case of containing steel fiber (2.5%, 30mm), it showed that the maximum increase rate of 1.48 times as much rate, and in case of containing glass fiber (2.5%, 30mm), the increase rate of strength was 1.25 times as much rate. 4. Flexural strength of fiber reinforced concrete showed a significant tendency, as compared with plain concrete. Containing steel fiber (2.5%, 30mm) showed the maximum increase rate of 1.64 times as much rate and containing glass fiber (2.5%, 30mm) showed the increase rate of strength of 1.32 times as much rate, and in general, the 30mm length brougth the best results. 5. The strength ratio ($\sigma$b/$\sigma$c and $\sigma$t/$\sigma$c) increased, when steel fiber's average spacing was up to 3.05mm, but decreased when beyond 3.05mm, and it was confirmed that tensile or flexural strengths of steel fiber reinforced concrete are apparently governed by fiber's average spacing. 6. The compressive strain of fiber reinforced concrete showed a significant increasing tendency as the fiber was added, but Young's modulus. with the addition of steel and glass fibers, showed a slight decrease tendency. And according to the increase of flexural strength, a considerable increase was seen in toughness. 7. With the addition of fiber's the shrinkage of concrete was significantly decreased, in both case of adding steel fibers 12.5%, 30mm, and showed a significant decrease ratio, in average 30.4% and 36.7%, as compared with plain concrete. 8. With the increase of fiber volume fraction and length, the gained stress in reinforcing bar in concrete specimens increased in all crack widths, but at different rates, with the decrease of fiber diameter, the stress showed a considerable increasing tendency. And the duoform steel fibers showed the greatest improvement, as compared with the other types tested. 9. The influence of fiber dimensions in order of significanse on the machanical properties of concrete and the crack control of reinforced concrete was explained as follows: content, length, aspect ratio and dimeter.

이 연구에서는 도로포장용 콘크리트의 성능향상을 목적으로 폴리프로필렌(PP), 나일론(NY), 폴리비닐알코올(PVA) 및 셀룰로우스(CL)의 섬유 종류에 변화를 주어 도로포장용 섬유보강 콘크리트(FRC)의 공학적 특성을 분석하였다. 그 결과 굳지 않은 콘크리트의 특성으로 유동성은 OPC에 비해 섬유를 혼입할 경우 저하하는 경향을 나타내었으나, 혼합 즉시는 PP섬유, 60분 경시변화까지도 고려하면 NY섬유에서 가장 우수한 것으로 나타났다. 공기량은 OPC와 유사한 경향을 나타내며, 섬유 혼입으로 인한 공기량의 변화는 크지 않았다. 경화 콘크리트의 특성으로 압축강도 및 휨강도는 Plain에 비하여 모든 재령에서 섬유를 혼입할 경우 증가하는 경향을 나타내었는데, 섬유 종류별로는 NY, PVA, PP, CL순이었다. 단, 인장강도에서는 NY 및 PP일 경우만 증가하는 경향이었다. 포로시미터에 의한 세공분포는 NY섬유를 혼입할 경우 섬유의 영향으로 $1{\mu}m$ 전후의 세공량이 많이 분포하여 누적 세공량이 커지는 경향을 나타내었다. 따라서 유동성 및 강도 등을 종합적으로 고려할 때, 이 연구의 실험 조건에서는 NY섬유 혼입 시 최상의 결과가 도출되는 것으로 분석되었다.

콘크리트 구조물의 시공이음부는 적절한 처리에도 불구하고 누수되는 사례가 빈번히 발생되고 있다. 이 연구에서는 이러한 누수 현상이 신 구 콘크리트 간의 부착특성과도 관련이 있을 것으로 보고 이에 대한 실험을 실시하였다. 여러가지 조건하에서 부착특성을 평가하기 위해 신 구 콘크리트의 접합부를 모사하는 시편들을 제작하여 접합부의 접착강도, 휨강도 및 쪼갬인장강도를 측정하였다. 주요 실험 변수는 혼화재의 종류 및 혼입률, 접합면의 처리 방법, 지수판의 종류였다. 그 외 신 구 콘크리트 타설 간격의 영향, 강도시험 재령에 따른 영향도 고찰하였다. 실험 결과 혼화재 사용에 따라 부착강도가 어느정도 증가하는 것으로 나타났는데, 이는 포졸란 반응에 의해 생성되는 칼슘실리케이트 수화물이 접합부의 공극을 메우기 때문으로 생각된다. 한편, 접합면이 거칠고 건조할수록 부착성능이 향상되었으며, 지수판의 표면 거칠기는 지수판의 부착성능에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 시험 방법에 따른 부착강도의 차이가 발생하므로 이를 고려한 평가가 요망된다.

이 논문은 철근콘크리트 휨부재의 인장겹침이음 영역에서의 정착저항능력에 대한 콘크리트 강도와 피복두께의 영향을 알아보기 위하여 총 24개의 beam-end 실험체의 실험 결과를 정리 분석한 것이다. 콘크리트 강도가 증가할수록 부착응력이 커지고 전달길이가 줄어든다는 부착특성과 얇은 피복에서 쉽게 발생하는 쪼갬균열 및 취성적인 균열 진전과 같은 균열거동을 근거로 하여 현행 설계기준의 등분포부착응력 가정에 의한 정착길이 규정을 고강도 콘크리트에도 그대로 적용할 수 있는지 조사하였다. 그 결과 콘크리트 강도에 따른 정착저항능력은 피복두께의 영향을 크게 받고 있으며, 고강도 콘크리트에서는 현행 설계기준 규정보다 짧은 겹침이음길이를 갖더라도 충분한 안전율을 확보하는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 실험 결과로부터 고강도 콘크리트의 정착길이는 제곱근 압축강도의 반비례가 아닌 압축강도에 직접적으로 반비례함을 확인하였으며, 현 설계기준에서 보통강도 콘크리트에 적용하는 동일 매입길이에 대한 등 분포부착응력 가정이 아닌 새로운 정착길이 계산식을 제안하였다.
