최근들어 고속도로, 고속철도,지하철 등의 건설이 급격히 증가함에 따라 터널의 건설이 늘어나고 있다. 이러한 터널등의 건설에서 필수적으로 따르는 것이 숏크리트의 시공이며 이러한 숏크리트의 시공은 앞으로 더욱 증가할 추세에 있다. 그러나 숏크리트의 광범위한 시공에도 불구하고 현재 여러 가지 문제점을 내포하고 있는 것이 사실이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 우리나라 현행 숏크리트의 현황과 문제점을 도출하여 성능개선을 위한 최적 배합을 도출하고 고품질의 숏크리트 시공을 위하여 실리카퓸 숏크리트의 개발 및 적용과 인성(Toughness)과 연성(Ductility)을 대폭 증가시키고 시공속도를 빠르게 하여 안전성과 함께 경제성을 확보할 수 있는 강섬유보강 숏크리트의 개발 및 적용에 대한 연구를 집중적을 수행하였다. 본 연구로부터 숏크리트의 최적 배합을 도출하였고 강도와 내구성을 함께 증가시키고 리바운드율을 대폭 감소시킬 수 있는 실리카퓸 숏크리트를 개발하였다. 또한 wiremesh를 대체할 수 있는 강섬유보강 숏크리트를 개발하여 실내시험 및 현장 적용성 시험을 수행하였다.

In this study, one-way shear tests were performed to investigate the shear capacity of amorphous steel fiber-reinforced concrete slabs. Primary test parameters were the shear reinforcing method(Stirrups or amorphous steel fibers) and shear reinforcement ratio(0.25 and 0.5%). A series of four one-way slab specimens including a specimen without shear reinforcement and three specimens with shear reinforcements(stirrup, 0.25%, and 0.5% amorphous steel fibers) were tested. The test results showed that 0.25% amorphous steel fibers improved the shear capacity, but 0.5% amorphous steel fibers did not improve the shear capacity compared to the specimen with conventional shear reinforcement of 0.25%. Additional study is needed to understand the variation of shear capacity according to fiber volume fraction.

The guide line of the SFRC mix design was not established, and the convenience of the practical application on the spot is not so good. In this paper, hence, the program which is optimized to result the mix proportion by the flexural strength and toughness, was developed to apply to SFRC on the practical spot. This program could minimize the number of trial mixes and get an economical and appropriate mixture. In addition, the theoretical background on which the program is based, will be the basis of the embodied method to mixing SFRC. Additionally, new algorithm, in this paper, was used to develop the mix proportioning program of SFRC. The new algorithm is the Harmony Search which is the heuristic method mimicking the improvisation of music players, Musical performances seek a best state determined by aesthetic estimation, as the optimization algorithms seek a best state determined by objected function value. And, it was developed the program about single fiber reinforced concrete, beside to the hybrid fiber reinforced concrete that two kinds of steel fibers, which have the different geometry, was reinforced. This will be able to keep the world trend to study, hence, offers the basis of the next research about hybrid fiber reinforced concrete.

In this study, fracture tests were carried out in order to investigate the fracture behavior of SFRC(Steel Fiber Peinforced Concrete) with initial cracks. The relationships between loading. strain, mld-span deflections and CMOD(Crack Mouth Opening Displacement) of the beams were observed under the three point loading system. The effect of the fiber content and the initial crack ratio on the concrete fracture behavior were studied and the fracture toughness, the critical energy release ratio and the fracture energy were also calcul ated from the test results. From the test results, it was known that when the fiber contents are between 0.5% and 1.0%, and 1.5% the average fracture energy of SFRC specimens is about 7~10 times. and about 15 times better than that of the plam concrete specimens respectively.ively.

This paper employed finite element method (FEM) to study the dynamic response of Steel Fiber-Reinforced Concrete(SFRC) panels subjected to impact loading by spherical projectiles. The material properties and non-linear stress-strain curves of SFRC were obtained by compression test and flexural test. Various parametric studies, such as the effect of fiber volume fraction and thickness of panels, are made and numerical analyses are compared with experiments conducted. It is shown that protective performance of concrete panels will be improved by adding steel fiber. Area loss rates and weight loss rates are decreased with increasing fiber volume fraction. Also, penetration modes can be expected by FEM, showing well agreement with experiment. Results can be applied for designing the protection of military structures and other facilities against high-velocity projectiles.

In this study, the concrete, in which the steel fiber(SF) with different volume-surface ratios and lengths was intermixed in High flowing Self-Compacting Concrete(HSCC), was produced to compare with steel fiber reinforced concrete as a part of plan to improve the workability and the quality of steel fiber reinforced concrete. As the result of experiment, the flowing and passing characteristics of HSCC intermixed with SF was highly improved as there was no fiber ball phenomenon due to the effect of high flowability and the viscosity, and in the identical range of compressive strength, it showed the tendency that the splitting and flexural strength was increasing as the length was getting longer regardless of volume-surface ratio when compared with HSCC which was intermixed with SF. It is estimated that in case of application of HSCC intermixed with steel fiber to work sites, it would be possible to improve the workability and the quality which would be better than that of steel fiber reinforced concrete which has been used.

Based on Model Code 2010, flexural and residual strength, flexural toughness of SFRC with design strength of 60 MPa are evaluated. For comparisons, SFRC with design strength 40 MPa was tested. Distribution of steel fibers in crack surface of specimens was evaluated by visual inspection. The used steel fibers were hooked fibers with aspect ratio of 64, 67 and 80. In all specimens, mix ratio of steel fibers was 0.5% Vol. In results, only SFRC with the highest aspect ratio satisfied requirements specified in Model Code 2010. The results demonstrated that the use of high aspect ratio will provide enough flexural toughness for high strength concrete. Also, it is found that low slump of high strength concrete can help to enhance isotropic fiber distribution.

Tensile softening characteristics play an important role in the structural behavior of steel fiber-reinforced ultra high performance concrete. Tension softening modeling and numerical analysis method are necessary for the prediction of structural performance of steel fiber-reinforced concrete. The numerical method to predict the flexural behavior is proposed in this study. Tension softening modeling is carried out by using crack equation based on fictitious crack and inverse analysis in which load-crack opening displacement relationship is considered. Thereafter material modeling is performed considering tension softening. The comparison of moment-curvature curves of the numerical analysis results with the test results indicates a reasonable agreement. Therefore, the present numerical results prove that good prediction of flexural behavior of steel fiber-reinforced ultra high performance concrete beams can be achieved by employing the proposed method.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the structural performance of doubly reinforced composite beams with steel fiber concretes and steel angles. For this purpose, total 6 specimens whose variables are shear span-to-depth ratio, existence of shear reinforcement, and shear reinforcement details, are made and tested. All specimens are constructed of steel fiber concretes with specified compressive strength of 30 MPa and steel fiber volumn content of 1%. From the experimental results, structural performance of doubly reinforced composite beams are evaluated in terms of strength, stiffness, ductility, and energy absorbing capacity. For the better structural performance, it is recommended that the composite beam is designed with diagonal shear reinforcement.
