Experimental Study of Flexural Behavior in Flexural Members Based on Repair Thickness of ECC

ECC 재료보강 두께에 따른 휨 부재의 휨 거동에 관한 실험적 연구

Recently, the development of construction materials is rapidly advancing. Especially, the rate of development of cement based construction materials is much quicker than steel or composite materials. In order to optimize the ductility and strength of cement based materials, Micro-mechanics based fiber concrete called Engineered Cement Composite (ECC) is developed and studied extensively by many researchers in the field. Due to ECC's remarkable flexural strain and strength capacities, many leading nation (i.e., US, Japan, and European countries) are currently using ECC in actual constructions. In this study, ECC with internationally competitive material capacities is manufactured using domestic materials. Then, unreinforced concrete beams are repaired using ECC with $10\%,\;20\%,\;30\%$ of concrete specimen height Using 4 point bending test, the flexural strength of repaired flexural members are determined. The results show that ECC manufactured with domestic materials can be effectively used for repairing materials.
