This study was performed to examine the effect of time dependent properties on RC columns in subway structures subjected to high filled soil layer. By using Program TCC which is a modified version of CPF for the present purpose, a typical column in subway structure was analyzed. Four different model equations for predicted time dependent concrete properties(ACI, CEB-FIP, Bazant & Panula and Korea Bridge Specification) was employed, and the results were compared. It was found that a relevant creep coefficient is recommended to be 1.0 for designing columns in subway structure, and the sol filling work would be performed at least 3 months later after the concrete casting in order to ensure durability by reducing the negative effect of concrete time dependent properties.

Lateral pressure by tied reinforcement greatly enhances the maximum strength and ductility of columns under concentric loading.

The major purpose of this paper is to study on the improvements of maximum strength and strain at the point of tied high-strength concrete columns subject to axial loads. For this purpose, this study collected the other analytical results and the experimental data that has been performed by a lot of worldwide researchers and also analyzed it statistically. As the result, the theoretical equation for predict maximum strength and strain at the point was proposed. It is based on calculation of lateral confinement pressure generate from tensile that develop in transverse reinforcement.

The use of concrete pavements is increasing by virtue of durability and excellent load resisting capacity. But cracks and demage in concrete pavements may be occurred by continuous reciclic load, as time goes by. Therefore, transverser contraction joints are constructed in concrete pavements to relieve tensile stresses, and when properly spaced they control the location of transverse cracks.

This system, will contribute to the efficient life management of concrete structures.

Despite many advantages of FRP materials, such as corrosion resistance, their linear elastic behavior up to rupture is likely to result in a lack of ductility. This paper discusses ductility improvement methods for prestressed concrete beams using FRP tendons. The methods were evaluated thorough extensive analytical and experimental investigations. The methods include optimization of sectional ductility through proper reinforcement, concrete confinement, concrete reinforcement with fibers, and prestressing with unbonded tendons.

In this study, the personal-computer program was developed to predict prestressing losses containment structures of Nuclear Power Plants by concrete creep and shrinkage. This program is constituted of three parts, which are pre-processor, calculation module and post-processor. Input data for his program are : material properties of concrete, rebar, liner and duct, test results of concrete creep and shrinkage, relative humidity, dimension of containment structures, and the number of prestressing tendon related on containment structures. To obtain better results, this program was made to reflect the prestressing losses due to influence that occurred after prestressing each tendon, thus it can predict prestressing losses and allowable prestressing forces of each tendon. As a case study, this program was applied to containment structures of Youngwang 3 & 4 NPP's and analytical result was compared with test results in In-service Inspection of containment structures. From this comparison, it was proved that this program could well predict prestressing losses by concrete creep and shrinkage.

This paper presents a method of statistical analysis and sensitivity analysis of creep and shrinkage effects in PSC box girder bridges. The statistical and sensitivity analyses are performed by using the numerical simulation of Latin Hypercube sampling. For each sample, the time-dependent structural analysis is performed to produce response data, which are then statistically analyzed. The probabilistic prediction of the confidence limits on long-term effects of creep and shrinkage is then expressed. Three measures are examined to quantify the sensitivity of the outputs to each of the input variables. These are rank correlation coefficient(RCC), partial rank correlation coefficient(PRCC) and standardized rank regression coefficient(SRRC) computed on the ranks of the observations. Probability band widens with time, which indicates an increase of prediction uncertainty with time. The creep model uncertainty factor and the relative humidity appear as the most dominant factors with regard to the model output uncertainty.

Recently, the using PSC with external unbonded tendons is increased. However, the behavior of external unbonded tendons is different with that of bonded internal tendon at ultimate state by compatibility condition, the slip with friction at deviator and the change of tendon eccentricity e.t.c., So, the analytical research considered the effect of these inherent characters was performed and the tendency of external unbonded tendons was estimated by numerical examples. By the analytical results, load-deflection relationship and stress increment of external unbonded tendons were similar to those of internal bonded tendon at initial elastic behavior state. Those characters were, however, smaller than those character of internal bonded tendons. For external unbonded tendons, if the 1 deviator which is positioned at maximum moment point and more 2 deviators which are position between maximum moment point and support are existed, the flexural behavior is similar to internal bonded tendons.

The specimen of current study has the same type with the 3-span slabs of Burns et al used in the study by Mojtahedi/Gamble, which laid a ground for the revision of the ACI318-77 code to the ACI 318-83 code. But those specimens was failed prematurely before it reached the ultimate strength which the specimen had. The reason is that bonded reinforcements were cut off where there is no need for the flexural reinforcement. As results. the slabs failed ultimately where the reinforcements was cut off. Thus, the tendon stresses of failure may have been much smaller than the values which culd reach if the bonded reinforcements were extended beyond the theoretical cut off points. On the based on the fact mentioned above. the specimens which had the same conditions as the specimens of Burns et al were used in the current study, but in which the reinforcements were distributed in a sequence for the reinforcements not to be cut anywhere in the 3-span. As a results, it was known that the current ACI code, revised by the result of Mojtahedi/Gamble's study, overestimated the effect of span/depth ratio on the members with high span/depth ratio. Thus it was concluded that the effect of span/depth ratio on the ultimate stress of unbonded tendon regulated by the current ACI code must be reconsidered and reevaluated.

In designing the prestressed concrete box-bridge, the dead load, prestressing force, creep and shrinkage of concrete are the main factors which influence the camber and deflection of segmental concrete structure under construction. Among these factors the creep and shrinkage are the functions of the time-dependent property which, therefore, must be considered with time. The prediction model for estimating creep and shrinkage of concrete has been suggested by ACI, CEB/FIP, JSCE and KSCE design code and EMM, AEMM, RCM, IDM and SSM has been suggested for analytical method in consideration of the time-dependent characteristics. In this study, the creep test was carried out for four curing ages of concrete which were applied to the prestressed concrete structure at a construction site, and the results of test were compared to the values of creep prediction by the design code. Also the creep test of step-wise incremental stresses were performed and were compared to analytical methods.

Prestressed concrete I-girders were used in the bridge applications in the early 1950s. During the last four decades, the most widely used girder length of bridges have been below 30meters. The main objective of this study is to develope the alternative section for long span bridge which exceed 40 meters. The developed Bulb-Tee girder has a wide bottom flange to enhance the compressive strength and to allow placement of a large number of strands in the bottom flange. New bulb-tee shaped PSC girder sections are proposed in this paper. Splicing the technique for long span bridge girder to reduce the self weight is also proposed.

Prestressed Concrete Cylinder Pipe(PCCP) is used in water transmission pipeline of the Great Man-made River Project(GMR Project). In domestic area, PCCP is used for water cooling systems of Uljin and Youngkwang nuclear power plants. In abroad, especially in the United States and Canada PCCP supplies virtually every metropolitan area with raw and treated water. Compared with other pipe types, PCCP manufacturing cost is dear. But total cost can be considered as economical due to low installation and maintenance cost. Previously, the designs of PCCP were generally determined from one of two appendices in American Water Works Association(AWWA)standard C301 which provided two design methods-cubic parabola design method and stress analysis design method. In 1992, the design procedure for PCCP expanded from two alternatives to the most huge and complex AWWA standard C304. Because C304is so large, it takes too much time for the engineer to read and understand the design concepts and procedures. In this paper, the AWWA C304 design procedures are segmented into simple, understandable sections and concepts and explained. Each section or concepts is compared to the previous design procedure to highlight the revisions and reasons for them. Also the PCCP design program was developed and the design program results are compared with the calculations of the GMR project design consultant.

PSC box bridge by MSS construction method may not be set at cross section at one step. Web and bottom flange(U member) would be set at first, top flange will be set later with a time lag. In this case, U member and top flange concrete have different strain history. As two different aged section behaves as the composite section, there would happen the redistribution of stress. This is come from time-dependent strain characteristics of concrete itself. In this study, two models are considered, one with considering the set time of cross section and the other without. By performing longitudinal analysis of two models on considering construction stage, the stress differences of two are compared. As the analysis results show a considerable differences in the stresses of cross section between two models, the set time of cross section is needed for rational design f PSC box girder bridge.

The objective of this study is to develop the practical program which can check the constructible possibility of prestressed concrete box girder bridges for design. Checking constructible possibility is defined as checking the interference of each elements in a PSC box girder bridge and computing the distances of each elements. To check the constructible possibility of a PSC box girder bride, bridge must be modelled using solid in three dimension. By using a 3 dimensional solid modeling system, engineers can get the photo realistic 3D viewing images of the bridge and produce FEM analytic model of it. Users can manipulate their drawings easier and take off quantity of the whole structure and its elements as well as check the constructible possibility of their PSC box girder bridges.

Structural tests of the PSC Beam bridge using high strength concrete, concrete compressive strength 700kg/$\textrm{cm}^2$, are conducted for the application including durability and serviceability of the bridge. Current design safety factors with respect to the jacking force and the service design load DB-24 are applied to the design of the bridge. Concrete compressive strength 700kg/$\textrm{cm}^2$, girder depth 2.3m, girder space 3.2m, span length 20m, and slab thickness 27cm are selected for the bridge test. The Bulb-Tee section of the girders is applied instead of I section because it is well known more stable to the longer span(40m). Static load test(4 beams) with composite and non-composite section, and fatigue load test(1 beams) with composite section are conducted. Crack moment, ultimate load, deflections with load steps, and strains of the beam section for those bridges are investigated. The structural test results of the bridges showed a good performance for a safety and a serviceability.

Represtressed preflex beams do not allow tensile stress under service load by introducing additional prestressing at the lower concrete of beams. In this study, optimal design of represetressed preflex beams are numerically investigated. Design variables are dimension of plate girder. Object function is the total weight of plate girder. Constraints of the stress of plate girder and upper and lower concrete flange and lower and upper bounds on the design variables are imposed. Structural analysis is performed by D.A.R.P.(Design and Analysis of Represtressed Preflex beams). For numerical optimization, ADS(Garret N. Vanderplaats) program is used. From result of application examples, optimum designs of different cases are successfully obtained. The design program developed in this study seems efficient and robust for the optimization of represtressed preflex beams.

The program which could determine cross-sectional dimension of the prestressed concrete box girder bridges at the stage of preliminary design was developed using the optimal technique in this study. It could minimize the cost required in the design of box girder bridges and the construction with the full staging method. Objective cost function consisted of six independent variables such as height of cross-section, jacking force and thickness of web and bottom flange. The SUMT(Sequntial Unconstrained minimization Technique) was used to solve the constrained nonlinear minimization optimal problem. Using the program developed in this study, optimum design was performed for existing bridges with one cell cross section of constant depth. The result verify the compatibility of the program.

Recently, non-destructive tests are getting popular in evaluating concrete properties without braking specimens. Among several NDT methods, P-wave velocity measurement technique has been widely used to evaluate the stiffness and strength of concrete. The purpose of this study is to investigate factors influencing P-wave velocity measured by impact-resonant method and ultrasonic pulse velocity method, such as moisture content of concrete, existence and size of coarse aggregates, sensor and sampling rate. Test results show that rod-wave velocity measured by impact-resonant method and ultrasonic pulse velocity are significantly affected by the moisture content of concrete, i.e., the lower moisture content, the lower velocity. Moisture content influences rod-wave velocity stronger than ultrasonic pulse velocity. Rod-wave velocity is faster in concrete than in mortar and is also faster in concrete containing small size aggregates. Sensor and sampling rate have little influence on velocity.

Deteriorations of concrete are governed by combined factors such as environmental stressors, processes and rates of deteriorations. Due to this reason, it's very difficult and important issue to predict quantitatively the service life of concrete structure. From this pont of views, the purpose of this study is to propose the approaches on the further development for predicting the remaining service life of concrete by analyzing the deteriorations mechanism and evaluating the existing models.

In this field impact echo test, As load is gradually increased, frequency is increased. From this change of frequency through impact echo test, we can detect that the crack of bridge ascends and what the depth of crack is.

This study describes a practical method for the measurement of sustained stress in concrete structures. In most cases, the sustained stress was determined by various theoretical calculation. However, the theoretical calculation can not always provide a sufficient information on the current stress state due to lots of uncertainty. Therefore, the present study proposes a practical in situ measuring method, Partial Sectioning Method

Experimental data obtained from radar measurement of concrete specimens with no steel bars at three different frequency bandwidths of 2~3.4 GHz, 3.4~5.8 GHz and 8~12 GHz are processed to determine the thickness of the specimens. A signal processing scheme has been implemented to visualize the concrete specimens. The purpose of this study is to determine particular frequency range appropriate for measuring the thickness of concrete specimens using radar.

The velocity and amplitude of microwaves are affected by the electromagnetic properties of a material through which the wave propagates. And the electromagnetic properties of a dielectric material such as concrete is represented by its permittivity. For the development of an accurate and reliable nondestructive testing (NDT) technique for concrete structures using microwave, it is necessary to have knowledge about the permittivity of concrete. In this paper, mortar specimens are used to serve as a basis for further measurement of concrete. The effect of water on the permittivity was studied using specimens with different water content. To assure the reliability of the measurement results, a statistical method was introduced.

Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) is a powerful tool with a wide range of applications in the nondestructive testing of concrete. It's useful for the detection of steel bars and delaminations embedded inside concrete, nondestructively.

This paper presents the settlement of rapid and exact experimental method which extracts fine bubbles, calculates the number of air voids, and determines air-void distribution using image analyzing system with computer.

Fiber reinforcement can significantly improve the properties of concrete. Particulary, toughness or energy-absorbing ability of fiber reinforced concrete is frequently higher than that of unreinforced concrete. Toughness is a measure of energy absorption capacity and used to characterized fiber reinforced concrete's ability to resist fracture when subjected to static, dynamic and impact loads. However, the current standard methods of characterizing the toughness of fiber reinforced concrete have proven to be some inadequate and problems and have caused a great deal of dissent and confusion. This study research some of the inadequate and problems with these toughness measurement methods and proposes the evaluation method for Fiber Reinforced Concrete toughness.

As carbon fiber is a light-weight materials, high tensile strength and durability compared with rebar, the retrofitting method for RC structures using carbon fiber sheet (CFS) must be use widely. In this paper, the tensile strength test for carbon fiber sheet variable of CF's weight and elastic modulus to evaluate the design tensile strength of carbon fiber sheet which is needed for the strengthening design of CFS and the calculation of strengthening effect. As a result, the design tensile strength of CFS can be calculate using the effect coefficient of strengthening(α) of CFS, the average tensile strength of CFS and the standard deviation of CFS(equation 5)

Recently many cases that using strengthening method with a steel plate or carbon-fiber sheet in a construction field are increasing. In this reason, it is demanded that developing a plan of preventing delamination of strengthening material. So in this research, for the case of strengthening method of steel plate, it is made use of notch and anchor bolt and for the case of carbon fiber sheet, it is made use of notch, anchor bolt, line anchor and shear strengthening. After all the cases were applied, we made 15 specimen beams. The beams was measured and analyzed about the behavior property of strengthened beams, the ability strengthening method, the relation between load and the shape of failure, the crack load, the yield load, the shape of crack pattern, the increasing rate from yield load and maximum load and the strain of rebar. All the strengthening methods results in almost same value until the yield load, and it wasn't quite different from the theoretical value. But for the case of increasing rate from the yield load and maximum load, comparing with the existing method, the new strengthening methods are proved to be profitable about the safety.

Many composite girder bridges have been constructed for about thirty five years. Nowadays they are aged or deteriorated because of th increase in traffic and vehicle loads. In this study, the effect of strengthening with glass fiber sheet is investigated to estimate the possibility for appling for damaged prestressed concrete bridges. One normal and eight cracked specimens which had been preloaded were tested. The cracked specimens were strengthened with either external prestressing or bonding glass fiber sheet, or using both methods. The results showed that the maximum loads are almost same for both methods. So it seems that the strengthening with glass fiber sheet can be used for strengthening damaged prestressed concrete girders. It is important that proper devices should be selected to prevent glass fiber sheet from premature bonding failure below its maximum load, which is similar to end anchorage problem in external prestressing method. It is proved that the devices proposed in this paper have sufficient anchoring capability to increase load carrying capacity.

The design methods for the steel plate strengthened RC structures are not well established yet because the structural behavior of plated RC beams is more complex than that of regular unplated ones. The main purpose of this paper is to present the premature failure mechanism of steel plate strengthened RC beams. The analytical models of interfacial stress and normal are also proposed in this paper. The comparisons between the analytical results using the proposed theory and experimental ones relatively satisfied.

This paper is aimed to investigate structural performance of flexural members enlarged with epoxy mortar at soffit. Main test variables are steel ratio and interface treatment method and six test beams are tested to investigate the effect of each test variables on maximum load capacity, load-deflection and moment-curvature relationship, interface behavior and failure mode. Test results show that section enlarged beams can carry almost same load of the monolithic beams with same size and the flexural stiffness and cracking moments are increased about 2.5 times and 50 to 70%of failure moment in comparison with same sized control beam, respectively. However, deflections and curvatures are decreased at the same load and interface fractures are not discovered at the ultimate load.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the interface debonding failure on RC beams strengthened with carbon fiber sheet(CFS). The behavior of damaged RC beams strengthened with CFS is analytically investigated using both linear elastic fracture mechanics (LEFM) approach and the finite element method. This study includes the investigation of the separation mode by interface fracture of the strengthening materials due to the interfacial shear and normal stresses.

Flexural tests on 3.0m reinfored concrete beams with epoxy and anchor bolt bonded CFRF-Grid reported in these tests. The selected experimental variables are concrete compressive strength, strengthening length and strengthening method. The effects of these variables in overall behavior are discussed. The results generally shown that the main flexural mode of strengthened beams is separation failure. The strengthening of the chipping by the tensile bar is really necessary in order to prevent CFRP-Grid from rip-off failure.

In recent years, glassfibers have been used for strengthening in RC structure because of low material cost and easy repairing work. The purpose of this study is to experimentally and analytically investigate the effect of glassfibers for enhancing the capacity of RC structure. The result shows that yield and ultimate strength of RC beam with glassfibers are increased by approximate 13% and 26%, comparing with those for RC beam without glassfibers. It has been observed from the test that fatigue behaviors of RC beam with glassfibers have been significantly and large improved comparing with those for RC beam without glassfibers.

Because the datum which evaluated the repair materials are not sufficient. The object of this study is estimation f repair materials that is in general use and establish method of application. To acquire the result, we have made experiments on chemical attack, carbonation and chloride permeability test. The carbonation and chloride permeability are very different. Some repair materials are poorer than portland cement mortar.

This study is numerical procedure of strengthening capacity in a field structure and compare analysis data with test data. Recently, many strengthening methods are developed and used to rehabilitate existing structure. However, both theoretical background and applying techniques are not established yet. One of the most popular method is plate bonding method using either steel plate or carbon plate. This theoretical background and applying techniques are very important and those applications are differed when applied in field strengthening cases. Also depending on the analysis out come, displacement increased based n the condition of members while reaching ultimate load or failure load.

The reinforced concrete structures have been deteriorated for various causes since it serviced for the long time. If we have to service concrete structure long time, we must repair it using appropriate methods and materials. But the data which evaluate the repair material has not been sufficient. So, the aim of this research is to estimate properties of repair materials and to acquire the data which apply to the concrete structures in field. To accomplish this objective, we have made experiment on compressive strength, bond strength, the coefficient of thermal expansion and setting time. Generally, compressive strength and bond strength are favorable but some products are unfavorable under wet curing. Setting time was faster than ordinary portland cement mortar except one material.

This study shows the characteristics of the new mortar shotcreting system, the SHOT PATCH System Remitar, which exhibits excellent shotcrete performance.

Concrete structure placed in marine environment is subject to many different types of potential attack. Therefore the sea water resistance of cement and concrete must be considered when it is used for structure in the ocean. For this purpose, this study was peformed to investigate the properties of several types of cements for a massive concrete placed in marine environment.

Hydration is the main reason for the growth of the material properties. A exact parameter to control the chemical and physical process is not the time, but the degree of hydration. Therefore, it is reasonable that development all material properties should be formulated in terms of degree of hydration. Mathematical formulation of degree of hydration is based on combination of reaction rate functions. The effect of moisture conditions as well as temperature on the rate of reaction is considered in the degree of hydration model. This effect is subdivided into two contributions: water shortage and water distribution. The former is associated with the effect of on the progress of hydration. The water needed for progress of hydration do not exist and there is not enough space for the reaction products to form. The latter is associated with the effect of free capillary water distribution in the pore system. Physically absorption layer does not contribute to progress of hydration and only free water is available for further hydration.

Calcium sulfoaluminate, $C_4$A$_3$$\bar{S}$, was prepared for reutilizing industrial by-products, such as II-CaSO$_4$, Al(OH), CaF$_2$ and cement sludge wastes. Mixed powder was fired at 1,15$0^{\circ}C$. $C_4$A$_3$$\bar{S}$ clinkers fired at 1,15$0^{\circ}C$ were analyzed by SEM and XRD. Also were added in cement paste and mortar and characterized as setting time, flow values and compressive strength. $C_4$A$_3$$\bar{S}$ could be found in the X-ray diffraction pattern. The setting time of cement pastes added clinkers fired at 1,15$0^{\circ}C$ was shorter than that of ordinary portland cement. Also the compressive strengths of the cement mortar added clinkers was higher than those of ordinary portland cement.

This study describes the result for the placement of the super flowing concrete(SFC) in under-pinning-top-slab which is located Inchon subway section 1-10 where, due to heavy reinforcements and limited working space, it was difficult to place concrete. After placing 600㎥, smooth construction and quality control were possible due to the good flow-ability, self-fillingability, and the resistance of segregation of the SFC itself. Furthermore, economical efficiency was obtained through not only the reduction of the works, labors, and site noise but also the efficient construction control. Because of the crack prevention, high strength, and a fine concrete surface, this study could be considered as a momentum to be adopted generally for applying the proposed method to the difficult subway construction area in the near future.

Pipe cooling has been popularly used in the mass concreting work to reduce temperature of the structure since it is known to be the easiest way to apply and has been the customary usage. But wrong application of the system results in the harmful effect on the structure by crack formation due to thermal shocks and improper cooling schemes. Thus, this study aims at the suppling of effective cooling methods through parametric study. For this, circulating method, velocity of water supply and circulating duration were selected as critical factors affecting the effectiveness of cooling system. As a results of thermal analysis, it was found that too much thermal gradient in the vicinity of the pipe creates localized radial or circumferential cracks. The duration of circulating cooling may be recommended to be as short as several days which may safely reduce the concrete temperature to below a final stable value. It was also found that pipe cooling is more effective to decrease the degree external restraints than internal one.

The temperature and stress behaviour of mass concrete pier at early ages was analysed based on the finite element method. The pier investigated is a three-dimensional structure of which the cross-sectional shape varies from a circle to an ellipsoid along the longitudinal axis. In order to obtain the transient temperature and stress distributions in the structure, a three dimensional method was adopted, because the structure of this type cannot be modeled accurately by a two-dimensional method. Temperature analysis was performed by taking into consideration of the cement type and content, boundary and environment conditions including the variations of atmospheric temperature and wind velocity. The results of this study may be useful for the temperature control to restrain thermal cracking and the construction management to design the resonable curing method of mass concrete structure.

This study discusses the results of adiabatic temperature rise tests which were performed considering various parameters, such as cement type, water-cement ratio, unit cement weigh, admixtures and placing temperature, which influence the temperature rise(K) and reaction velocity ($\alpha$). Theadiabatic temperature rise models obtained from this study are similar to those of Japan Concrete Institute. The models to calculate temperature rise and reaction velocity could be used the analysis f concrete thermal stress.

Recently, serious cracking problems have been reported in this country while the process of actual massive concrete construction. he hydration heat arising from the chemical reaction of cement with water causes temperature differentials in between inside and outside of a structural member, and these temperature differentials induce thermal stresses. In this paper, we described on the practical application and quality control of the mass concrete mixed with fly-ash. This project is investigating adiabatic temperature rise test of concrete, mock-up test in the laboratory, ad B/P before placing the mass concrete in site. As a result, we can be prevent temperature cracking from the cement hydration heat of mass concrete and also can be showed up secure quality control flow chart of mass concrete.

In order to calculate the thermal stresses of massive concrete structures in non-steady state conditions the thermal properties of the materials have to be well known. Structural materials such as concrete, rock and soil are heterogeneous, damp and porous so that measurements of their thermal properties by conventional methods would result in large errors. In this study, thermal conductivity was measured by the device, QTM-D3 which is usually used in Japan. Variables are chosen as age, water content, temperature, aggregate content, S/A ratio and type of cementitious materials. Finally a model for thermal conductivity was proposed.
