Ultra High Performance Cementitious Composites with compressive strength 200MPa (UHPCC-200) is proposed for the structural design of super high hybrid wind turbine tower to gain durability, ductility and high strength design objectives. The minimal wall thickness is analyzed using basic bending and compression theory and is modified by a toque influence coefficient. Two cases of wall thickness combination of middle and bottom segment including varied ratio and constant ratio are considered within typical wall thickness dimension. Using nonlinear finite element analysis, the effects of wall thickness combinations with varied and constant ratio and prestress on the structural stress and lateral displacement are calculated and analyzed. The design limitation of the segmental wall thickness combinations is recommended.

In this paper, it was assessed durability of ultra-high strength cementitious composites(UHSCC) with the range of 180MPa of compressive strength through the test method of chloride ion resistance, carbonation, freezing-thawing resistance, permeability. In order to compare with ultra-high strength cementitious composites, normal concrete and high-strength concrete were also tested. As the experimental result, it showed that UHSCC was cleary superior to the durability performance of normal concrete and high-strength concrete.

The high cost of ultra-high-performance engineered cementitious composite (UHP-ECC) is currently a crucial issue, especially in terms of the polyethylene (PE) fibers use. In this paper, cheap calcium carbonate whiskers (CW) were evaluated on the feasibility of hybrid with PE fibers. Diverse combinations of PE fibers and CW were employed to investigate the multi-scale enhancement on the UHP-ECC performance. A probabilistic-based UHP-ECC tensile strain reliability analysis approach was utilized, which was in general agreement with the experimental results. Furthermore, a multi-dimensional integrated representation was conducted for the comprehensive assessment of UHP-ECC. Results illustrated that CW improved the compressive strength and energy dissipation capacity of UHP-ECC owing to the microscopic strengthening mechanism. CW and PE fiber further promoted the saturated cracking of composite by multi-scale crack arresting effect. In particular, PE1.75-CW0.5 specimen possessed the best overall performance. The ultimate cracking width of PE1.75-CW0.5 group had 98 ㎛, which was 46.18% lower compared to PE2-CW0 group, the 28d compressive strength were slightly improved, the tensile strain capacity was comparable to that of PE2-CW0 group. The results above demonstrated that combinations of PE fiber and CW could significantly enhance the comprehensive performance of UHP-ECC, which was beneficial for large-scale engineering applications.

Structural behaviors of a sustainable hybrid column with the ultra high performance cementitious composites (UHPCC) permanent form under compression and flexure were studied. Critical state and failure stage characters are analyzed for large and small eccentricity cases. A simplified theoretical model is proposed for engineering designs and unified formulas for loading capacity of the hybrid column under compression and flexure loads are derived, including axial force and moment. Non-linear numerical analysis is carried out to verify the theoretical predictions. The theoretical predictions agree well with the numerical results which are verified by the short hybrid column tests recursively. Compared with the traditional reinforced concrete (RC) column, the loading capacity of the sustainable hybrid column is improved significantly due to UHPCC confinements.

To improve the durability and service life of reinforced concrete column such as bridge piers, an advanced composite column made of Ultra High Performance Cementitious Composites (UHPCC) permanent form is proposed. Based on elasticity plasticity theory, axial compression behavior of the composite column was studied theoretically. The first circumferential cracking load and ultimate limit loading capacity are derived for the composite column. Short composite column compression tests and numerical simulations using FEM method were carried out to justify the theoretical formula. The effects of UHPCC tube thickness on the axial compression behavior were studied. Using the established theoretical model and numerical simulation, the large dimension composite columns are calculated and analyzed with different UHPCC tube thickness. These studies may provide a reference for advanced composite column design and application.

이 연구에서는 실리카퓸 및 수축 저감제, 팽창재, 고성능 감수제의 혼입을 변수로 한 초고성능 시멘트 복합체(UHPCC)의 초기 수축 거동을 평가하기 위하여 화학수축 및 자기수축 실험을 수행하고, 응결 측정 결과와 비교하여 UHPCC의 자기건조 시작 시점에 대하여 분석하였다. 실험 결과, 실리카퓸 및 수축 저감제는 초기 화학수축을 증가시키는 경향을 보였으며, 고성능 감수제는 시멘트와 배합수의 수화 반응을 지연시키고 화학수축을 저감시키는 것으로 나타났다. 수축 저감제와 팽창재를 조합하여 적용한 경우 약 49%의 자기수축 저감 효과를 보였으며, 팽창재는 경화를 촉진 시키는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 UHPCC는 다수의 섬유 혼입과 낮은 물-결합재비에 의해 초결 이전부터 자기건조 현상이 발생하는 것으로 나타났다.

초고성능 시멘트 복합체(ultra-high-performance cementitious conposites, UHPCC)는 우수한 압축강도와 연성을 나타내기 때문에 구조 부재 적용 시 단면을 상당히 감소시키고, 낮은 물-결합재비와 고분말 혼화 재료의 사용으로 높은 수축 변형률이 발생하게 되어 거푸집 및 보강근 등의 구속에 의한 수축 균열의 발생 가능성이 크다. 그러므로 이 연구에서는 UHPCC의 수축을 저감시키기 위한 방법으로 팽창재와 수축 저감제를 조합하여 혼입하고 자유수축과 구속 수축 거동을 평가하여 적합성 여부를 산정하였다. 실험 결과 팽창재와 수축 저감제를 조합하여 혼입한 경우에 약 40~44%의 자유수축 저감 효과를 보였으며, 잔류 인장응력은 약 35%와 47% 감소하였다. 지속적인 구속 하중에 의한 인장 크리프의 발생으로 탄성 수축 응력의 약 61%, 64%가 이완되는 것으로 나타났으며, 따라서 구속 수축 거동을 평가할 때에는 반드시 크리프 효과를 고려해야 한다고 판단되었다. 구속도는 0.78~0.85로 나타났으며 팽창재와 수축 저감제의 혼입에 의한 영향은 미미하였고 콘크리트 링의 두께가 클수록 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 또한, UHPCC의 인장 크리프 변형률을 측정하고 재령에 따라 변하는 구속 하중을 적용한 4-매개 변수 크리프 예측 모델과 비교하였다.

Reinforced concrete (RC) does not provide sufficient resistance against impacts and blast loads, and the brittle structure of RC fails to protect against fractures due to the lack of shock absorption. Investigations on improving its resistance against explosion and impact have been actively conducted on high-performance fiber-reinforced cementitious composites (HPFRCCs), such as fiber-reinforced concrete and ultra-high-performance concrete. For these HPFRCCs, however, tensile strength and toughness are still significantly lower compared to compressive strength due to their limited fiber volume fraction. Therefore, in this study, the tensile behavior of slurry-infiltrated fiber-reinforced cementitious composites (SIFRCCs), which can accommodate a large number of steel fibers, was analyzed under static and dynamic loading to improve the shortcomings of RC and to enhance its explosion and impact resistance. The fiber volume fractions of SIFRCCs were set to 4%, 5%, and 6%, and three strain rate levels (maximum strain rate: 250 s^-1) were applied. As a result, the tensile strength exceeded 15 MPa under static load, and the dynamic tensile strength reached a maximum of 40 MPa. In addition, tensile characteristics, such as tensile strength, deformation capacity, and energy absorption capacity, were improved as the fiber volume fraction and strain rate increased.
