Textile Reinforced Cementitious Composite (TRCC) became the most common construction material lately and have excellent properties. TRCC can be employed in the manufacture of thin-walled facade elements, load-bearing integrated formwork, tunnel linings or in the strengthening of existing structures. These composite materials are a combination of matrix and textile materials. There isn't much research done about the usage of polymer modified matrices in textile reinforced cementitious composites. In this study, matrix materials named as fine grained concretes ($d_{max}{\leq}1.0mm$) were investigated. Air entraining effect of polymer modifiers were analyzed and air void content of fine grained concretes were identified with different methods. Aim of this research is to study the effect of polymer modification on the air content of fine grained concretes and the role of defoamer in controlling it. Polymer modifiers caused excessive air entrainment in all mixtures and defoamer material successfully lowered down the air content in all mixtures. Latex polymer modified mixtures had higher air content than redispersible powder modified ones. Air void analysis test was performed on selected mixtures. Air void parameters were compared with the values taken from air content meter. Close results were obtained with tests and air void analysis test found to be useful and applicable to fine grained concretes. Air void content in polymer modified matrix material used in TRCC found significant because of affecting mechanical and permeability parameters directly.

The anisotropy in coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) between the in-plane and out-of-plane of 3-dimensional thick composite structures induces residual stresses and the large void content due to insufficient compaction of fabric composites, which results in low interlaminar strengths. In order to reduce the through thickness CTE and the void content, in this work, carbon fabric phenolic laminates were compacted by pressure generated by autoclave and a compressive jig, from which the through-thickness CTEs and the void contents were measured. From the measurement, it was found that the through-thickness CTE and the void content had different characteristics from ordinary composites due to gas produced during the cure reaction of phenolic resin.

The effect of non-plastic fines (silt) on liquefaction and pore pressure generation characteristics of saturated sands was studied through undrained stress controlled cyclic triaxial tests using cylindrical specimens of size 50 mm diameter and height 100 mm at different cyclic stress ratios and at a frequency of 0.1 Hz. The tests were carried out in the laboratory adopting various measures of sample density through various approaches namely gross void ratio approach, relative density approach, sand skeleton void ratio approach, and interfine void ratio approach. The limiting silt content and the relative density of a specimen were found to influence the undrained cyclic response of sand-silt mixtures to a great extent. Undrained cyclic response was observed to be independent of silt content at very high relative densities. However, the presence of fines significantly influenced this response of loose to medium dense specimens. Combined analyses of cyclic resistance have been done using the entire data collected from all the approaches.

보드의 기계적 성질에 영향을 미치는 공극에 대하여 공극을 두가지로 분류하고 밀도에 따른 오에스비의 내부 공극구조의 특성에 대하여 살펴보고자 하였다. 스트랜드보드의 내부공극을 X-ray 단층촬영기로 측정하고 이미지분석 소프트웨어를 사용하여 밀도에 따른 공극의 분포와 공극의 함유량을 조사하였다. 측정 전에 보드의 밀도를 밀도측정기와 전건법으로 측정하였으며 이 두 방법에 의해 측정된 결과는 아주 높은 상관관계를 보여주었다. X-ray를 서로 다른 배율로 조사하여 획득한 이미지를 바탕으로 분석한 결과, 저해상도에서는 스트랜드간의 공극(macro-void)의 측정이 가능하나 스트랜드내의 미세공극(micro-void)은 이미지획득이 불가능하였다. 중해상도에서는 두가지 형태 모두의 이미지 획득이 가능하였고, 고해상도에서는 대부분의 미세공극 이미지의 획득이 가능하였다. 저배율을 채택하여 스트랜드간의 공극을 측정하고 스트랜드내의 미세공극은 관련식을 이용하여 추정하였다. 이를 통해 보드내부에 존재하는 스트랜드간의 공극분포를 파악할 수 있었으며 그 공극의 함유비율을 정확하게 산정할 수 있었다.

Many aspects of the behavior of sands are affected by the content of non-plastic fine particles and these various aspects should be included in a constitutive model for the soil behavior. The fines content affects maximum and minimum void ratios, compressibility, shear strength, and static liquefaction under undrained conditions. Twenty-eight undrained triaxial compression tests were performed on mixtures of sand and fine particles with fines contents of 0, 10, 20, 30, 50, 75, and 100% to study the effects of fines on void ratio, compressibility, and the occurrence of static liquefaction. The experiments were performed at low consolidation pressures at which liquefaction may occur in near-surface, natural deposits. The presence of fines creates a particle structure in the soil that is highly compressible, enhancing the potential for liquefaction, and the fines also alter the basic stress-strain and volume change behavior, which should be modeled to predict the occurrence of static liquefaction in the field. The void ratio at which liquefaction occurs for each sand/fines mixture was determined, and the variation of compressibility with void ratio was determined for each mixture. This allowed a relation to be determined between fines content, void ratio, compressibility, and the occurrence of static liquefaction. Such relations may vary from sand to sand, but the present results are believed to indicate the trend in such relations.

This study was carried out to investigate the soil water characteristic curve and prediction of void ratio with net stress and matric suction using the linear elastic and volumetric deformation analysis method on unsaturated silty. The unsaturated soil tests were conducted using a modified oedometer cell and specimens were prepared at water content 2 times of liquid limit and required void ratio. The axis translation technique was used to create the desired matric suctions in the samples. It is shown that soil water characteristic curve and volumetric water content were affected significantly by preconsolidation pressure. As a matric suction increases, the reduction ratio of void ratio was shown to considerably small. Also, the predicted and measured void ratio for unsaturated soils using the linear elastic and volumetric deformation analysis showed good agreement as net stress and matric suction increases.

In rainy weather, permeable concrete pavement has advantages such as good drainage, increased skid resistance, reduced splash and spray behind vehicles for improving the safety of driving vehicles as well as reduction of the traffic noise. It also contributes to improvement of traffic environment. In this study, the fundamental properties of permeable concrete in accordance with maximum size of aggregate, sand percentage and unit cement content were investigated for practical use of permeable concrete pavement. Although the permeability standard for typical permeable asphalt-concrete pavement is $1{\times}10^{-2}cm/sec$, the researchers determined that the coefficient of permeability of the permeable concrete should be set higher at $1{\times}10^{-1}cm/sec$. Then, the researchers measured the coefficient of permeability, strength, void ratio, and continuous void ratio of the permeable concrete while varying maximum size of the aggregate, sand percentage, unit cement content for detailed analysis. It was found that the void ratio, continuous void ratio, and flexural strength were about 15%, 12%, and 5.0MPa, respectively, when the permeability of the concrete was set at $1{\times}10^{-1}cm/sec$. Given that the maximum size of aggregate was $10{\sim}13mm$, we reached the conclusion that the best mix design for permeable concrete was $0{\sim}20%$ of sand percentage and $380kg/m^3$ of unit cement content.

최근 국내외 건설 현장에서 불법 가수 및 품질관리 미흡으로 인한 건설재해가 발생되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 현장타설 구조체 콘크리트의 품질관리 상태 및 시공단계에서의 임의가수량 판정을 위한 기준점으로 활용하기 위해, ASTM C 642에서 제안한 공극률 시험방법을 도입하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 코어링 대상의 모사 구조체 콘크리트를 타설하고, 같은 배합을 가지는 콘크리트 원주형 공시체를 함께 제작하여, 코어링 도중 발생한 공극률의 증가 수준에 대한 기초자료를 확보하고자 하였다. 압축강도 및 탄성계수는 코어링을 진행한 시편에서 낮게 나타났는데, 이는 코어링 도중 발생한 미세균열의 영향으로 판단된다. 공극률 측정 결과 각 시편간의 데이터 편차는 1% 미만으로 매우 정확한 값을 도출하였으며, 원주형 공시체와 코어링된 공시체 사이의 공극률 차이는 최대 1.69%로 확인되었다. 이 값을 보정치로 활용하면, 현장 콘크리트와 원주형 콘크리트 사이의 실공극률 추산이 가능하며, 이의 상호 비교를 통해 현장 구조체 콘크리트의 품질관리 상태 및 임의가수량의 판단이 가능할 것으로 확인되었다.

In order to develop nondestructive techniques for the quantitative estimation of creep damage a series of crept copper samples were prepared and their ultrasonic velocities were measured. Velocities measured in three directions with respect to the loading axis decreased nonlinearly and their anisotropy increased as a function of creep-induced porosity. A progressive damage model was described to explain the void-velocity relationship, including the anisotropy. The comparison of modeling study showed that the creep voids evolved from sphere toward flat oblate spheroid with its minor axis aligned along the stress direction. This model allowed us to determine the average aspect ratio of voids for a given porosity content. A novel technique, the back propagation neural network (BPNN), was applied for estimating the porosity content due to the creep damage. The measured velocities were used to train the BP classifier, and its accuracy was tested on another set of creep samples containing 0 to 0.7 % void content. When the void aspect ratio was used as input parameter together with the velocity data, the NN algorithm provided much better estimation of void content.
