현대의 구조물은 고층화, 대형화 되어가는 추세이다. 보통중량 콘크리트는 강도에 비해 질량이 크기 때문에 구조물의 자중을 증가시킨다는 단점이 있다. 그러므로, 추세에 맞는 콘크리트의 경량화가 필요한 실정이다. 콘크리트의 경량화 방법 중 하나가 경량골재를 사용한 경량골재 콘크리트이다. 하지만, 국내에서는 경량골재 콘크리트에 대한 인식부족으로 인하여 구조용 경량골재 콘크리트에 대한 연구가 부족한 실정이다. 경량골재 콘크리트에 사용되는 경량골재의 품질에 따라 콘크리트의 물성 및 강도에 대한 검증이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 보통골재와 경량골재를 사용한 콘크리트를 제작하고 인장균열파괴실험을 통해 하중-CMOD곡선은 얻고, 이를 역해석하여 파괴에너지를 도출하였다.

This research is focused on the applying of the foaming agent which can make the independent pore in the concrete structure in order to make a lightweight concrete structure. This lightweight foamed concrete can satisfy both the required strength and the mechanical properties as structural members. In addition, anti freezing-thawing properties also required. As a result of the unit volume-weight measurement, when the foaming agent mixed at 0.5% to 1%, the lightweight foamed concrete can be applied for the structural member. Also the density and compressive strength measurement results reveals that it will be suitable as structural member with 21MPa strength, when the density is betweenity8 to 1.9 and foaming agent quantities are 0.5% to 1%. Finally the result of freezing-thawing experiment, the effect freezing-thawing damage reduced according to adding foaming agent because those foaming agent make micro-pores in the structure which are not seen in the ordinary concrete structure.

FRP 보강근을 사용한 경량콘크리트 구조체는 부식방지 및 자중감소의 효과를 동시에 기할 수 있는 이점이 있어서 추후 그 활용이 기대될 수 있다. 그러나 경량콘크리트와 FRP 보강근을 사용하여 보강근의 내부슬립 없이 외력에 저항할 수 있는 구조체를 만들기 위해서는 경량콘크리트와 FRP 보강근 사이의 부착특성을 파악하는 것이 대단히 중요하다. 그동안 보통콘크리트와 FRP 보강근 사이의 부착거동에 대하여는 많은 연구가 있어 왔으나 경량콘크리트와 FRP 보강근 사이의 부착거동에 대하여는 현재까지 연구결과가 대단히 부족한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 경량콘크리트와 보강근 표면에 나선형태의 이형을 갖는 GFRP 보강근 사이의 부착특성을 조사하였다. 비교목적으로 보강근 종류, 콘크리트 종류, 경량콘크리트 강도종류의 실험변수를 고려하여 인발실험체들을 제작하고 실험을 행하였다. 실험분석 결과, 보통콘크리트와 철근을 사용한 실험체의 부착강도를 1.0으로 하였을 때 경량콘크리트와 나선형태의 이형을 갖는 GFRP 보강근을 사용한 실험체의 부착강도는 0.49로 나타났다.

국내 재래식 터널의 대부분에 존재하는 배면공동은 라이닝의 균열, 누수, 응력집중 등을 유발하여 터널 안정성에 큰 영향을 미치게 된다. 이러한 배면공동의 보강은 공동을 뒤채움하는 방법이 일반적으로 적용되고 있는데, 본 연구에서는 현재 산업폐기물로 취급되어 버려지고 있는 석분토를 이용하여 터널 뒤채움용 경량기포 충전재를 개발하였고, 실내물성시험과 노후터널에 대한 현장적용시험을 수행하여 개발 충전재의 적용성 평가를 실시하였다.

This literature study is focused on the improvement of lightweight concrete in perspective of foaming agent. Lightweight concrete is the cured concrete as putting required amount of foaming agent to slurry which is a mixture of a certain amount of cement, sand, and water. It has lower density than general concrete, because foaming agent disintegrates numerous bubbles evenly and independently. Thus, it is capable of lightening the weight and great for sound absorption and insulation, In foreign countries, studies for structural lightweight concrete mainly of tunnel grouting and weight lightening of heavy structures are going along actively. Domestically, exterior panel and ALC blocks are alternatively used for flooring. Therefore, this research consider improvement of lightweight concrete in perspective of foaming agent with foundation study.

Recently, the study on mix design of lightweight concrete using the polystyrene foam balls is put into practice from the viewpoint to grade up the quality of concrete and recyclable usage of industrial by products. Polystyrene aggregate concrete, PAC, can be used as structural concrete in low strength application. For instance, PAC could be used in the middle part of sandwich panel where stresses are generally low and in the case of grid-type reinforcement where it does not need high bond strength but little compressive strength to resist the pressure of transverse reinforcement. From this point of view, the authors discussed the influence of fluidity and compressive strength of concrete by the difference of the volume percentage of polystyrene foam balls and water cement ratio.

The composite steel reinforced concrete (SRC) columns have been widely used in Structural Engineering due to their good performances. Many studies have been done on the SRC columns' performances, but they focused on the ordinary types with conventional configurations and materials. In this study, nine new types of steel reinforced lightweight aggregate concrete (SRLAC) short columns with cross-shaped (+shaped and X-shaped) steel section were tested under monotonically axial compressive load; the studied parameters included steel section ratio, steel section configuration, ties spacing, lightweight aggregate concrete (LWAC) strength, and longitudinal bars ratio. From the results, it could be found that the specimens with larger ties ratio, concrete strength, longitudinal bars ratio, and steel section ratio achieved great strength and stiffness due to the excellent interaction between the concrete and steel. The well-confined concrete core could strengthen the steel section. The ductility and toughness of the specimens were influenced by the LWAC strength, steel section ratio, and longitudinal bars ratio; in addition, larger ties ratio with smaller LWAC strength led to better ductility and toughness. The load transfer between concrete and steel section largely depends on the LWAC strength, and the ultimate strength of the new types of SRLAC short columns could be approximately predicted, referring to the codes' formulas of ordinary types of steel reinforced concrete (SRC) columns. Among the used codes, the BS-5400-05 led to the most conservative results.

This study aims to investigate the influence of scoria aggregate (SA) and silica fume (SF) as a replacement of conventional aggregate and ordinary Portland cement (OPC), respectively. Three types of concrete were prepared namely normal weight concrete (NWC) using limestone aggregate (LSA) and OPC (control specimen), lightweight concrete (LWC) using SA and OPC, and LWC using SA and partial SF (SLWC). The representative workability and compressive strength properties of the developed concrete were evaluated, and the results were correlated with non-destructive ultrasonic pulse velocity and Schmidt hammer tests. The LWC and SLWC yielded compressive strength of around 30 MPa and 33 MPa (i.e., 78-86% of control specimens), respectively. The findings indicate that scoria can be beneficially utilized in the development of structural lightweight concrete. Present renewable sources of aggregate will preserve the natural resources for next generation. The newly produced eco-friendly construction material is intended to break price barriers in all markets and draw attraction of incorporating scoria based light weight construction in Saudi Arabia and GCC countries. Findings of the SWOT analysis indicate that high logistics costs for distributing the aggregates across different regions in Saudi Arabia and clients' resistant to change are among the major obstacles to the commercialized production and utilization of lightweight concrete as green construction material. The findings further revealed that huge scoria deposits in Saudi Arabia, and the potential decrease in density self-weight of structural elements are the major drivers and enablers for promoting the adoption of lightweight concrete as alternative green construction material in the construction sector.

In recent decades, infrastructural development has exploded, particularly in the coastal region of Saudi Arabia. The rising demand of most consumed aggregate in construction can be effectively compensated by the alternative material like scoria which lavishly exists in the western region. Scoria is characterized as lightweight aggregate beneficially used to develop lightweight concrete (LWC) - a potential alternative of normal weight concrete (NWC) ensuring reduction in the structural element's size, increase in building height, comparatively lighter foundation, etc. Hence, the goal of this study is to incorporate scoria-based structural lightweight concrete and evaluate its impact on superstructure and foundation design beside contributing to the economy of construction. Fresh, mechanical, and rheological properties of the novel LWC have been investigated. The structural analyses employ the NWC as well as LWC based structures under seismic and wind loadings. The commercial finite element package - ETABS was employed to find out the change in structural responses and foundations. The cost estimation and SWOT analysis for superstructure and foundation have also been carried out. It was revealed that the developed LWC enabled a more flexible structural design. Notable reduction in the steel and concrete prices of LWC might be possible in the low-rise building. It is postulated that the cost-effective and eco-friendly LWC will promote the usage of scoria as an effective alternative in Saudi Arabia and GCC countries for structurally viable LWC construction.
