Due to the high compressive and tensile strength of ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC), UHPC used in steel concrete composite structures provided thinner concrete layer compared to ordinary concrete. This leaded to the headed stud shear connectors embedded in UHPC had a low aspect ratio. In order to systematic investigate the effect of headed stud with low aspect ratio on the structural behaviors of steel UHPC composite structure s this paper firstly carried out a test program consisted of twelve push out specimens. The effects of stud height, aspect ratio and reinforcement bars in UHPC on the structural behaviors of headed studs were investigated. The push out test results shows that the increasing of stud height did not obviously influence the structural behaviors of headed studs and the aspect ratio of 2.16 was proved enough to take full advantage of the headed stud strength. Based on the test results, the equation considering the contribution of weld collar was modified to predict the shear strength of headed stud embedded in UHPC. The modified equation could accurately predict the shear strength of headed stud by comparing with the experimental results. On the basis of push out test results, bending tests consisted of three steel UHPC composite slabs were conducted to investigate the effect of shear connection degree on the structural behaviors of composite slabs. The bending test results revealed that the shear connection degree had a significantly influence on the failure modes and ultimate resistance of composite slabs and composite slab with connection degree of 96% in s hear span exhibited a ductile failure accompanied by the tensile yield of steel plate and crushing of UHPC. Finally, analytical model based on the failure mode of composite slabs was proposed to predict the ultimate resistance of steel UHPC composite slabs with different shear connection degrees at the interface.

Reactive powder concrete (RPC) is a type of ultra-high strength concrete that has a relatively high brittleness. However, its ductility can be improved by confinement, and the use of RPC in composite RPC filled steel tube columns has become an important subject of research in recent years. This paper aims to present an experimental study of axial capacity calculation of RPC filled circular steel tube columns. Twenty short columns under axial compression were tested and information on their failure patterns, deformation performance, confinement mechanism and load capacity were presented. The effects of load conditions, diameter-thickness ratio and compressive strength of RPC on the axial behavior were further discussed. The experimental results show that: (1) specimens display drum-shaped failure or shear failure respectively with different confinement coefficients, and the load capacity of most specimens increases after the peak load; (2) the steel tube only provides lateral confinement in the elastic-plastic stage for fully loaded specimens, while the confinement effect from steel tube initials at the set of loading for partially loaded specimens; (3) confinement increases the load capacity of specimens by 3% to 38%, and this increase is more pronounced as the confinement coefficient becomes larger; (4) the residual capacity-to-ultimate capacity ratio is larger than 0.75 for test specimens, thus identifying the composite columns have good ductility. The working mechanism and force model of the composite columns were analyzed, and based on the twin-shear unified strength theory, calculation methods of axial capacity for columns with two load conditions were established.

합성보는 콘크리트 바닥판과 강재 거더로 이루어져 왔으나, 바닥판의 자중을 줄이면서 내구성을 향상시키고 나아가 교량의 강도 및 강성을 향상시키기 위하여 초고성능 콘크리트(UHPC)를 교량 바닥판으로 채용한 합성보가 최근에 제안되고 있다. 이 연구는 기존의 스터드 전단연결재가 UHPC 바닥판을 합성함에 있어 유효한지에 관하여 실험적으로 검토해보고자 한다. 12개의 push-out 시험체를 통하여 UHPC 바닥판에 매립된 스터드 전단연결재의 정적 강도를 평가하였으며, 실험 변수로 바닥판 두께, 스터드 높이 및 지름을 채택하여, 기존에 제한되었던 스터드 지름에 대한 높이의 비율인 형상비와 스터드 머리부 상부 콘크리트 피복두께의 제한을 완화하는 것이 가능한지에 대하여 검토하였다. 이 연구의 실험으로부터 기존 AASHTO LRFD에 제시된 정적 강도평가식을 UHPC에 매립된 스터드 전단연결재에 적용하는 것이 유효함을 확인하였으며, 4이상으로 제한된 형상비는 3.1까지 낮추어도 되며, 50 mm로 제한된 최소 피복두께도 25 mm까지 낮출수 있음을 확인하였다. 다만 Eurocode-4에 제시된 연성도 기준인 특성 상대슬립 6 mm 이상의 기준을 만족하지 못하여, UHPC에 매립된 스터드 전단연결재는 별도의 연성 보강 방안이 채택되지 않는다면 강성 전단연결재로 간주하여야 할 것이다.

초고성능 콘크리트(UHPC)의 재료구성에서 시멘트는 다른 재료에 비해 가장 많은 양을 차지하고 있는데 자기수축이나 수화열 등의 문제와 특히 재령초기에 실시하는 고온양생이 시멘트 수화에 미치는 영향을 고려한다면 UHPC의 특성에 미치는 시멘트의 영향을 정확히 파악하여 적절한 시멘트를 선정해야할 필요가 있다. 따라서 이 논문은 시멘트 종류가 UHPC에 미치는 영향을 파악하기 위한 실험적 연구로서 국내에서 사용되는 포틀랜드 시멘트의 종류에 따른 초고성능 콘크리트의 유동성, 압축강도, 탄성계수의 특성을 검토하였다. 실험결과, 저열포틀랜드 시멘트 사용 시 보통포틀랜드 및 조강포틀랜드 시멘트 보다 유동성과 압축강도가 향상된 결과를 얻었다. 향후 보다 체계적인 연구를 통하여 시멘트 종류가 UHPC에 미치는 영향을 보다 체계적으로 검토할 예정이다.

Tendon corrosion reliability in KICT-ultra high performance concrete (K-UHPC) bridges is assessed and predicted considering uncertainties in flexural bending capacity and corrosion occurrence. In post-tensioning bridge systems, corrosion is a one of most critical failure mechanisms due to strength reduction by it. During the entire service life, those bridges may experience lifetime corrosion deterioration initiated and propagated in tendons which are embedded not only in normal concrete but also in K-UHPC. For this reason, the time-variant corrosion performance has to be assessed. In the absence of in-depth researches associated with K-UHPC tendon corrosion, a reliability-based prediction model is developed to evaluate lifetime corrosion performance of tendon in K-UHPC bridges. In 2015, KICT built a K-UHPC pilot bridge at 168/5~168/6 milestone on Yangon-Mandalay Expressway in Myanmar, by using locally produced tendons which post-tensioned in longitudinal and lateral ways of K-UHPC girders. For an illustrative purpose, this K-UHPC bridge is used to identify the time-variant corrosion performance.

In the case of the Busan North Port, where the Busan Opera House is located, it is an environment exposed to various external deterioration factors such as frequent strong winds, seawater and salty winds, and an exterior material using UHPC (Ultra High Performance Concrete), a highly durable exterior material as a solution to this. Has been adopted. in this study, an economical production and construction direction was reviewed by applying UHPC to the exterior panels of atypical buildings that cannot cope with GFRC, metal, and glass, which are the main exterior finishing materials applied so far. When steel fibers are used, structural performance may be better than organic fibers, but due to environmental factors in Busan, corrosion due to exposure to steel fibers or problems with safety management after construction and completion may occur. Therefore, the site used the newly developed SACF fiber. Facade design of atypical buildings, which will increase in the future, is an important part, and the scope of use of UHPC panels is expected to increase in the future as design trends and demand for high durability increase.

외부환경에 노출된 콘크리트 구조물은 사용기간 동안 시간의 경과함에 따라 여러 가지 환경적, 화학적, 물리적 요인들이 콘크리트 내부로 서서히 침투 및 확산되면서 콘크리트 초기의 우수한 내구성능을 저하시켜, 열화발생으로 인한 성능저하의 규명과 유지관리에 대한 중요성이 크게 부각되고 있다. 특히, 해안에 근접한 콘크리트 구조물이 동결융해 작용을 받는 경우, 동결융해의 과정에서 콘크리트 조직이 팽창 수축을 반복하면서 콘크리트의 조직이 이완되고 이때, 해수에 존재하는 염화물이온이 콘크리트 내부에 침입하게 되면, 콘크리트 구조물의 철근부식으로 인한 열화를 가속화시키기 때문에 내륙 콘크리트 건축물에 비해 내구성능의 저하가 급속히 진행됨으로 특별한 주의가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 해수에 접한 콘크리트 구조물의 내구성 확보를 위해 광물성 혼화재료를 혼입한 코팅용 고성능 모르타르의 개발을 목적으로 하고 있으며, 모르타르의 강도 및 내구 특성에 대한 실험적 연구가 진행 되었다. 모르타르에 광물성 혼화재료인 실리카퓸, 메타카올린, 초고분말 플라이애시를 혼입하였다. 혼입률은 실리카퓸과 메타카올린은 각각 3, 7, 10%로 혼입하였으며, 초고분말 플라이애시는 5, 10, 15, 20%로 혼입하여 실험을 진행하였다. 혼화재료 혼입을 통해 제작된 모르타르 시험편을 재령 1일과 28일에 정적 강도시험을 진행하였으며, 재령 28일에 염소이온 침투저항성 시험, 황산 저항성 시험, 염해 저항성 시험 등의 열화 촉진실험을 실시하여 내구 특성을 분석하였다. 촉진 염화물이온 확산 침투 시험 결과를 이용해 국내 콘크리트학회에서 제안하는 방법과 미국, 유럽의 방법으로 내구수명을 평가해 보았다. 메타카올린 혼입 시 모든 규정에서 우수한 내구 수명으로 평가 되었으며, 메타카올린 10%혼입 시 KCI를 기준으로 약 470년의 내구수명이 예측되었다.

This research reviewed the status of binder removal depending on the heating temperature and duration by using the 3D sand mold as an electric heating method. In the case of the electric heating method, it was confirmed that a heating temperature of at least 800℃ or higher was required to remove the binder of the 3D sand mold, and the heating duration was confirmed to be about 10 minutes. Afterwards, it is considered necessary to further evaluate the additional binder removal method and the utilization of recycling silica in consideration of economic feasibility and productivity.

As buildings have become higher and larger, the use of high performance concrete has increased. With this increase, interest in and use of ultra fine powder admixture is also on the rise. The silica fume and BSF are the admixtures currently being used in Korea. However, silica fume is exclusively import dependent because it is not produced in Korea. In the case of BFS, it greatly improves concrete fluidity and long-term strength. But a problem exists in securing early strength. Furthermore, air-cooled slag is being discarded, buried in landfills, or used as road bed materials because of its low activation energy. Therefore, we investigated in this study the usability of nano-slag (both rapidly-chilled and air-cooled) as an alternative material to the silica fume. We conducted a physic-chemical analysis for the nano-slag powder and performed a mortar test to propose quality standards. The analysis and testing were done to find out the industrial usefulness of the BFS that has been grinded to the nano-level.

This paper aims to better understand the bonding behavior in Reinforced Concrete beams strengthened with an Ultra-High Performance Fiber Reinforced Concrete (RCUHPFRC) layer on the compression side using experimental tests and numerical analyses. The UHPFRC mix design was obtained through an optimization procedure, and the characterization of the materials included compression and slant shear tests. Flexural tests were carried out in RC beams and RC-UHPFRC beams. The tests demonstrated a debonding of the UHPFRC layer. In addition, 3D finite element analyses were carried out in the Abaqus CAE program, in which the interface is modeled considering a zero-thickness cohesive-contact approach. The cohesive parameters are investigated, aiming to calibrate the numerical models, and a sensitivity analysis is performed to check the reliability of the assumed cohesive parameters and the mesh size. Finally, the experimental and numerical values are compared, showing a good approximation for both the RC beams and the RC strengthened beams.
