The aims of this study were to determine mechanical properties of steel-fiber reinforced concrete under splitting tensile, flexural and compressive loading, and thus to improve the possible applications of concrete. The major factors experimentally investigated in this study were the fiber content and the length and the diameter of fibers. The major results obtained are summarized as follows : 1.The strength, strain, elastic modulus and energy obsorption capability of steel-fiber reinforced concrete under splitting tensile loading were significantly improved by increasing the fiber content or the aspect ratio. 2.The flexural strength, central deflection, and flexural toughness of steel4iber reinforced beams were significantly improved by increasing the fiber content or the aspect ratio. And flexural behavior characteristic was good at the aspect ratio of about 60 to 75. 3.The strength, strain, and energy absorption capability in compression were increased with the increase of the fiber content. These effects were not so sensitive to the aspect ratio. The energy absorption capability was improved only slightly with the increase of the fiber length. 4.The elastic modulus, transverse strains, and poisson's ratios in compression were not influenced by the fiber content. 5.The steel-fibers were considered to be appropriated as the materials covering the weakness of concrete because the mechanical properties of concrete in tension and flexure were significantly improved by steel-fiber reinforcement.

The shear capacity of beams is an essential parameter in designing beams carrying shear loads. Precise estimation of the ultimate shear capacity typically requires comprehensive calculation methods. For steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) beams, traditional design methods may not accurately predict the interaction between different parameters affecting ultimate shear capacity. In this study, artificial neural network (ANN) modeling was utilized to predict the ultimate shear capacity of SFRC beams using ten input parameters. The results demonstrated that the ANN with 30 neurons had the best performance based on the values of root mean square error (RMSE) and coefficient of determination (R²) compared to other ANN models with different neurons. Analysis of the ANN model has shown that the clear shear span to depth ratio significantly affects the predicted ultimate shear capacity, followed by the reinforcement steel tensile strength and steel fiber tensile strength. Moreover, a Genetic Algorithm (GA) was used to optimize the ANN model's input parameters, resulting in the least cost for the SFRC beams. Results have shown that SFRC beams' cost increased with the clear span to depth ratio. Increasing the clear span to depth ratio has increased the depth, height, steel, and fiber ratio needed to support the SFRC beams against shear failures. This study approach is considered among the earliest in the field of SFRC.

Shape memory alloy has been used to improve the tensile strength of composite by the occurrence of compressive residual stress in matrix using its shape memory effect. In order to fabricate shape memory alloy composite, TiNi alloy fiber and Al2024 sheets were used as reinforcing material and matrix, respectively. In this study, TiNi/Al2024 shape memory alloy composite was made by using hot press method. In order to investigate bonding condition between TiNi reinforcement and Al matrix, the micro-structure of interface was observed by using optical microscope and diffusion layer of interface was measured by using Electron Probe Micro Analyser. And the mechanical properties of composite with three parameters(volume fraction of fiber, cold rolling amount and test temperature) were obtained by tensile test. The most optimum bonding condition for fabrication the TiNi/Al2024 composite material was obtained as holding for 30min. under the pressure of 60MPa at 793K. The strength of composite material increased considerably with the volume fraction of fiber up to 7.0%. And the tensile strength of this composite increased with the reduction ratio and it also depends on the volume fraction of fiber.

보강토 지반에서 가장 중요한 부분은 보강재와 흙사이의 접촉부분으로서 이 부분의 전단강도 및 전단거동은 보강효과에 직접적인 영향을 미친다. 보강토 지반에서 접촉부분의 전단특성을 얻는 방법으로서 인발시험방법과 직접전단시험방법 등이 있다. 실제 보강토 구조물내에서 보강재와 흙사이에 인발이 되는 부분, 전단이 되는 부분 등이 존재한다. 전단이 되는 경우에도 보강재가 전혀 변형을 하지 않는 경우와 보강재 자체가 변형이 되는 경우 등으로 나눌 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 대형 전단시험기를 이용하여, 부직포/모래, 지오그리드/모래 등의 접촉면을 갖는 2종의 토목섬유를 이용하여, 토목섬유의 인장변형이 허용되는 자유조건과 인장변형이 억제되는 고정조건 등 두가지 방법으로 직접전단시험을 실시하였다. 실험결과 자유조건에 비해 고정조건으로 시험을 행한 경우가 마찰각이 더 컸다. 그리고 전단응력이 피크가 되는 전단변형의 크기는 자유조건의 경우가 더 큰 값을 가졌다. 잔류응력의 경우는 고정법의 경우가 컸지만 잔류응력비는 자유법의 경우가 더 큰 값을 가졌다.

PHC 말뚝에서 강선을 노출시켜 건축물의 기초판과 연결시키는 기존 강선남김 방식은 강결합과 힌지결합의 중간형태로 공동주택(아파트)과 같은 건축구조물에 흔히 사용되는 방법이다. 그러나 이 방법은 역학적인 성능이 검증되지 않았으며 시공과정도 복잡하다. 이에 본 연구는 기존 관련 연구의 결과를 분석하고, PHC 말뚝의 콘크리트 단면적 대비 강선면적 비인 0.3%를 말뚝 접합부의 최소 철근보강량으로 선정하여 PHC 말뚝과 기초판과의 최적의 철근보강 방법을 말뚝 규격별(PHC 450, PHC 500, 및 PHC 600)로 제시하였다. PHC 말뚝과 기초판 접합부의 역학적 성능(인장강도와 전단강도)을 평가하기 위해 실물크기의 실험을 실시하였다. 그 결과, 모든 경우에 대해 요구강도를 만족하였으며 실제 적용되어도 문제가 없음을 확인하였다. 본 결과는 기존 연구에서 제시되었던 접합부의 철근 보강량보다 그 양이 대폭 감소하는 것으로 나타나 PHC 말뚝 시공 시 원가 절감에도 기여할 것으로 판단된다.

The main target of this research is investigating the relations between mechanical properties and injection conditions, like injection pressure, packing pressure and packing time for various contents ratio of glass fiber and resin. In general idea, high injection pressure produces high strength of molded parts as a monotonic function. but it was revealed that high pressure does not make high strength directly through various experiments of injection molding. In this experiments, PA66 was selected as resin and Glass Fiber was selected as reinforcing fiber Fiber reinforcement was controlled, as 14%, 25%, 33%, 44% of total volume and packing pressure was divided 55%, 65%, 75%, 85% of reference pressure, i.e. 100% equal to 1400kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$. Finally, tensile testing was executed for injected test specimen. Optimum results based on authors' experiments have been obtained under conditions of 25% and 33% of glass fiber contents. Tensile strength rather depends on the packing pressure and packing time than injection pressure. Especially almost equal value of tensile strength was obtained for various percentage of packing and injection pressure as 65%, 75% and 85% of reference pressure.

Many codes allow designers to use the bending moment diagram computed by elastic analysis and modify it by a certain amount of moment redistribution (MR) to account for plastic behaviour of continuous beams. However, several researchers indicated that the MR at the ultimate limit state (𝛽_u) for some beams deviate significantly from the specified values of various codes. This paper examines the applicability of the provisions on 𝛽_u in ACI 318-19 and Eurocode 2 through numerical investigations and comprehensively explores the influencing factors. The results show that some parameters not considered in those codes influence 𝛽_u to a certain extent, where the ratio of tensile reinforcement ratio at intermediate support to tensile reinforcement ratio at midspan (𝜌_s1/𝜌_s2) and load type are crucial parameters to consider. The specific combination of these two parameters may make the codes overestimate or significantly underestimate the 𝛽_u. On the other hand, the yield state of both critical sections is found to have an important influence on the influence degree of each parameter on 𝛽_u. The yield conditions are investigated, and an empirical judgment equation is proposed. In addition, the influence laws of the critical parameters on 𝛽_u have been further proved by theoretical derivation. Finally, due to 𝜀_t is found to have a better linear correlation with 𝛽_u than x_u/d, equations as a function of 𝜀_t for predicting the 𝛽_u of continuous beams under the two loads are proposed, respectively.

본 논문에서는 MCE를 적용한 콘크리트 댐 피어부의 동적소성해석을 통한 내진성능평가 수행 시 소성재료모델, 성능수준 평가 방법에 대한 현행 기준의 적용성을 검토하고 개선안을 제시하였다. 다양한 조건으로 동적소성해석을 수행하여 소성재료모델에 대한 적용성을 검토하였고, 그 결과 현행 댐 내진성능평가요령에서 제시하는 평균응력-평균변형률 기법은 최소철근비가 확보되지 않은 조건에서 동적탄성해석으로 예측한 결과보다 피어부의 응답을 과소평가하는 것으로 확인되었다. 따라서 최소철근비가 확보되지 않은 댐 피어부는 무근콘크리트로 간주하여 콘크리트 인장거동특성에 파괴에너지를 적용하는 방법으로 피어부 성능수준을 평가하도록 하는 개선안을 도출하였다. 개선사항 적용할 경우 현행 내진성능평가 방법보다 보수적인 평가결과를 도출할 수 있다.

Rubber reinforcing carbon black N330 was treated by physical activation under $CO_2$ to different degrees of burn-off. The mechanical properties indicating the reinforcement of SBR (Styrene-Butadiene Rubber) vulcanizates filled by activated carbon blacks, such as tensile strength, modulus at 300% strain and elongation at break were determined. During $CO_2$ activation of fresh carbon blacks, the development of microporous structure caused an increase of extremely large specific surface area and the porosity turned out to be an increasing function of the degree of burn-off. The tensile strength and modulus at 300% of activated carbon blacks filled rubber composites were improved at lower loading ratios of 20 and 30 phr, but decreased drastically after 30 phr, which is considered that it might be difficult to get a fully dispersed rubber mixture at higher loading ratios for fillers having very large specific surface areas. However, the Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) shielding effectiveness of SBR rubber composites having activated carbon black at 74% yield were improved at a large extent when compared to those having raw carbon black and increased significantly as a function of increasing loading ratio.

A renewable energy storage pile foundation system is being developed through a multi-disciplinary research project. This system intends to use reinforced concrete pile foundations configured with hollowed sections to store renewable energy generated from solar panels attached to building structures in the form of compressed air. However previous research indicates that the compressed air will generate considerable high circumferential tensile stresses in the concrete pile, which requires unrealistic high hoop reinforcement ratio to avoid leakage of the compressed air. One possible solution is to utilize fiber reinforced concrete instead of placing the hoop reinforcement to resist the tensile stress. This paper investigates nonlinear structural responses and post-cracking behavior of the fiber reinforced concrete pile subjected to high air pressure through nonlinear finite element simulations. Concrete damage plasticity models were used in the simulation. Several parameters were considered in the study including concrete grade, fiber content, and thickness of the pile section. The air pressures which the pile can resist at different crack depths along the pile section were identified. Design recommendations were provided for the energy storage pile foundation using the fiber reinforced concrete.
