In a companion paper, a rational mechanical model to predict the entire behavior of point-loaded RC slender beams (a/d > 2.5) without shear reinforcement was developed. This paper presents the test results of 9 slender shear beams and compares them with analytical results performed by the proposed model. They are grouped by two parameters, which are shear span ratio and concrete strength. Three kinds of concrete strength the 26.5, 39.2, and 58.8 MPa were included as a major experimental parameter together with different shear span ratios ranging from 3 to 6 depending on the test series. Tests were set up as a traditional 3 point bending test. Various measurements were taken to monitor abrupt shear failure. Test results were not only compared with analytical results from the proposed model, but also other formulas, to consider the various aspects of shear failure such as kinematical conditions or shear capacity. Finally, a review of the proposed model is presented with respect to the shear transfer mechanisms and the effect of test parameters. Results show that several assumptions and proposals adopted in the proposed model are rational and reasonable.

철근과 콘크리트의 부착은 콘크리트와 철근의 일체거동에 의한 안전성 확보를 위해서도 필요하지만, 적정수준의 연성을 확보하여, 부재의 거동을 조절하기 위해서도 필요하다. 현재까지 반복하중 하에서의 부착응력-슬립관계에 대한 연구는 진행되어 왔으나, 철근 부식이 이루어진 경우의 반복하중 하에서의 부착응력-슬립관계에 대한 연구는 거의 없는 실정이다. 따라서 이 연구에서는 부식된 철근의 부착 실험을 통하여 단조하중과 반복하중 하에서의 부식률에 따른 부착응력-슬립 관계를 살펴보았다. 실험결과로부터 철근 부식은 할열 균열이 발생하기 전까지는 단조하중에서의 부착강도를 증가시키는 것을 확인하였다. 그리고 반복하중 횟수와 반복하중 하에서의 슬립 및 잔류슬립을 이중로그스케일로 도시한 결과, 철근 부식이 있는 경우에도 철근 부식이 없는 경우와 마찬가지로 선형 관계임을 확인하였다. 그리고 부식에 의한 균열이 발생하지 않는 한, 철근 부식이 반복하중 재하 이후의 부착강도 및 부착강도에서의 슬립 등 부착 특성에 영향을 미치지 않는 것도 알 수 있었다. 마지막으로, 철근 부식으로 인한 균열이후에서의 응력수준에 따른 피로수명은 급격히 감소하는 것을 확인하였다. 이 연구에서 제시하는 철근 부식을 고려한 반복하중 하에서의 부착응력-슬립의 관계는 철근콘크리트 구조물의 내구수명 예측 시 유용하게 사용될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

이 연구는 국내에서 상용 중인 재료를 이용하여 고인성 섬유복합 모르타르를 개발하고자 함에 목적이 있으며, 고인성 섬유복합 모르타르를 개발하기 위해서는 모르타르 매트릭스의 파괴역학(fracture mechanics)적 특성과 섬유-모르타르 경계 면의 마이크로역학(micromechanics)적 특성을 파악하여야 한다. 특히 시멘트계 재료(cementitious materials)의 역학적 특성에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 물-시멘트비(water cement ratio)에 대한 연구에 초점을 맞추었으며, 3가지의 물-시멘트비에 대하여 섬유의 인발실험(fiber pullout test)과 모르타르의 쐐기쪼갬실험(wedge splitting test)을 수행하였고 이를 통하여 모르타르 매트릭스와 섬유-매트릭스 경계면(interface)의 역학적인 특성을 파악하였다. 이러한 연구에 의하여 결정된 섬유-매트릭스 경계면의 마이크로역학적 특성과 모르타르의 역학적 특성을 이용하여 물-시멘트비 범위 및 재료의 기본 배합을 제시하였고 또한 마이크로역학과 안정상태 균열이론(steady-state cracking theory)을 배경으로 하여 1축인장 하에서 인장변형률 경화거동을 나타내는 고인성 섬유복합 모르타르를 개발하였다. 개발된 재료는 1축인장 하에서 변형률 경화거동을 나타내었으며, 변형능력은 최대 2.2% 이었다. 이와 같은 높은 변형 능력은 일반 콘크리트(또는 모르타르)의 약 100배에 해당된다. 또한 압축하에서는 압축강도 이후 응력-변형률 곡선이 완만하게 감소하는 연성파괴의 형태를 나타내었으며 28일의 압축강도는 보통강도 콘크리트의 강도에 해당되는 26MPa, 34MPa인 것으로 측정되었다.

This paper aims at developing the knowledge on the seismic behavior of dowel beam-to-column connections, typically employed in precast buildings in Europe. Despite the large diffusion of the industrial buildings, a high seismic vulnerability was exhibited by these structures, mostly due to the connection systems deficiencies, during some recent earthquakes (Emilia 2012, Turkey 2011). An experimental campaign was conducted on a typical dowel connection between an external column and a roof beam. In this paper, the performed cyclic shear test is described. According to the experimental results, the seismic response of the system is evaluated in terms of strength, stiffness and failure mechanism. Moreover, the complete damage pattern of the test is described by means of the instrumentations records. The connection failure occurred due to the concrete cover failure in the column (splitting failure). Such a mechanism corresponds to a negligible energy dissipation capacity of the connection, compared to the overall seismic response of the structure. The experimental results are also compared with the results of a similar monotonic shear test, as well as with some literature relationships for predicting the strength of dowel connections under horizontal (seismic) loads.

The purposes of this study are to investigate the material characteristics and strength properties of concrete mixed with waste incinerated bottom ash(BA), and to evaluate the leaching of environmentally harmful heavy metals from the bottom ash itself and from hardened concrete mixed with bottom ash. For this purpose, two reference mixes with W/C ratios of 0.45 and 0.55 were used, and the replacement proportion of BA was varied with the ratios of 0%, 30%, 50%, 70%, and 100% by volume of fine aggregate in the reference mixes. The variation of compressive and splitting tensile strength, workability and unit weight of concrete were considered. Test results showed that the strengths, workability and unit weight decreased with increase in proportion of BA replaced. Leaching test results showed that there would be no environmentally harmful problem from using BA as the substitutes of fine aggregates in concrete.

The objective of this study is to examine the fracture characteristics of concrete at early ages such as critical stress intensity factor, critical crack-tip opening displacement, fracture energy based on the concepts of the effective-elastic crack model and the cohesive crack model. A wedge splitting test for Mode I was performed on cubic wedge specimens with a notch at the edge. By varying strength and age, load-crack mouth opening displacement curves were obtained and the results were analyzed by linear elastic fracture mechanics. The results from the test and analysis showed that critical stress intensity factor and fracture energy increased, and critical crack-tip opening displacement decreased with concrete age from 1 day to 28 days. The obtained fracture parameters at early ages may be used as a fracture criterion and an input data for finite element analysis of concrete at early ages.

A strut-and-tie based method intended for determining the load-carrying capacity of reinforced concrete (RC) corbels is presented in this paper. In addition to the normal strut-and-tie force equilibrium requirements, the proposed model is based on secant stiffness formulation, incorporating strain compatibility and constitutive laws of cracked RC. The proposed method evaluates the load-carrying capacity as limited by the failure modes associated with nodal crushing, yielding of the longitudinal principal reinforcement, as well as crushing or splitting of the diagonal strut. Load-carrying capacity predictions obtained from the proposed analysis method are in a better agreement with corbel test results of a comprehensive database, comprising 455 test results, compiled from the available literature, than other existing models for corbels. This method is illustrated to provide more accurate estimates of behaviour and capacity than the shear-friction based approach implemented by the ACI 318-11, the strut-and-tie provisions in different codes (American, Australian, Canadian, Eurocode and New Zealand).

The purpose of this study is to investigate the mechanical characteristics of plain and steel fiber high strength concrete under uniaxial and biaxial loading condition. A number of plain and steel fiber high strength concrete cubes having 28 days compressive strength of 82.7Mpa (12,000psi) were made and tested. Four principal compression stress ratios, and four fiber concentrations were selected as major test variables. From test results, it is shown that confinement stress in minor stress direction has pronounced effect on the strength and deformational behavior. Both of the stiffness and ultimate strength of the plain and fiber high strength concrete increased. The maximum increase of ultimate strength occurred at biaxial stress ratio of 0.5 in the plain high strength concrete and the value were recorded 30 percent over than the strength under uniaxial condition. The failure modes of plain high strength concrete under uniaxial compression were shown as splitting type of failure but steel fiber concrete specimens under biaxial condition showed shear type failure.

This study investigated the mechanical and durability performance of roller-compacted concrete (RCC) with fly ash for dam applications. A test program studied the effects on the properties of fresh and hardened RCC with fly ash replacement ratio, as well as the long-term durability of the resulting mixture. Fly ash replaced 20, 30, 40, and 50% by mass of the cement. Laboratory tests of the compressive strength, splitting tensile strength, shear strength, chloride ion permeability, abrasion, and drying shrinkage were conducted. The test results demonstrated that 30% fly ash replacement is an optimum level, and that this mixture has excellent mechanical and durability properties.

In this study, six mortar mixes were tested in order to examine the significance and limitations of hydrophilic fiber in terms of its capacity to enhance the tensile resistance of Hwangtoh mortar. Lyocell, polyamide and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) fibers were selected for the main test parameters. The tensile capacity of mortars tested was evaluated based on the splitting tensile strength and the modulus of fracture, while their ductility was examined using the toughness indices specified in ASTM. Test results showed that the addition of lyocell and PVA fibers had little influence on the flow of the Hwangtoh mortars. To enhance the tensile capacity and toughness index of Hwangtoh mortar, it is proposed that fiber spacing above 0.0003 is required, regardless of the type of fiber.
