In order to optimize the prepreg compression molding (PCM) process, the forming simulation is required to cope with any problems that may be raised during the process. For the improvement of simulation accuracy, the input data of material property should be measured accurately. However, most studies assume that the compressive properties of the prepreg are identical to the tensile properties without quantifying them separately. Therefore, in this study, the in - plane compressive properties of the prepreg are presented to improve the accuracy of the forming simulation. As a result, the compressive modulus of the fibers was measured to be about $10^{-2}$ times lower than the tensile modulus. Also we designed a square-cup mold with a tilting angle of $110^{\circ}$ to simulate the prepreg formability during the high temperature compression mold process. Shear angles were measured at each corner, which were compared with the simulation results. It was observed that the simulation results using the accurate compressive properties of the prepreg showed a similar trend with the experimental results. It was confirmed that the measured data of the in-plane compression property improved the accuracy of the forming simulation results.

Recently, the effects of high temperature on compressive strength, elastic modulus and strain at peak stress of high strength concrete were experimentally investigated. The present study is aimed to study the effect of elevated temperatures ranging from 20 to 700 on the material mechanical properties of high strength concrete of 40, 60, 80 MPa grade. In this study, the types of test were the stressed test and stressed residual test that the specimens are subjected to a 25% of ultimate compressive strength at room temperature and sustained during heating and when target temperature is reached, the specimens are loaded to failure. And another specimens are loaded to failure after 24 hour cooling time. Tests were conducted at various temperatures ($20{\sim}700^{\circ}C$) for concretes made with W/B ratios 46%, 32% and 25%. Test results showed that the relative values of compressive strength and elastic modulus decreased with increasing compressive strength grade of specimen and the axial strain at peak stress were influenced by the load before heating. Thermal strain of concrete at high temperature was affected by the preload level as well as the compressive strength. Finally, model equation for compressive strength and elastic modulus of heated high strength concrete proposed by result of this study.

The thermal characteristics of concrete fabricated with blast furnace slag were investigated in this paper. Test parameters included water-binder ratio and the content of furnace slag. Experimental program were performed to measure mechanical properties including compressive strength and split tensile strength under high-temperature thermal cycling, and to measure thermal properties including thermal conductivity and specific heat. Test results showed that the residual compressive strength of mixtures with blast furnace slag was greater than that of mixture without blast furnace slag. In addition, thermal conductivity of mixtures with blast furnace slag was greater than that of mixtures without blast furnace slag. It indicates that blast furnace slag was favorable for charging and discharging in thermal energy storage system. Test results of this study would be used to design concrete module system of thermal energy storage.

This study evaluated the in-site compressive strength development of high-strength concrete developed for the mass structures under cold weather condition. Two mock-up wall specimens with $2.0{\times}1.2{\times}1.0m$ in dimension were cured under an average temperature of $5^{\circ}C$. Core strengths measured at different locations of the mock-up walls were compared with the companion standard cylinder strengths. Test results revealed that the core strength of mock-up walls at an age of 3 days is higher by approximately 30% than the companion cylinder strength because of the high curing temperature effect generated from the heat of hydration of cementitious materials. Furthermore, comparisons with the prediction models based on maturity function confirmed that the effect of hydration heat on the curing temperature increase needs to be reflected to reasonably evaluate the on-site compressive strength development of concrete for mass elements.

In this study, effect of types and replacement ratio of alkali activator on compressive strength of ground granulated blast furnace slag mortar has been reviewed. Types of alkali activator are NaOH, $Ca(OH)_2$, $Na_2SO_4$, and KOH. Replacement ratio of alkali activator is 7.5, 10, 12.5, and 15%, respectively. As results, under high temperature curing condition, 1 day compressive strength development with NaOH and KOH was higher than that of $Ca(OH)_2$ and $Na_2SO_4$. Regardless of types of alkali activator, compressive strength increased with increasing pH. This can be explained by the fact that impermeable film on the surface of slag which is generated when slag contacts water has been destroyed by alkali activator, and this promotes hydration reaction. Also, 1 day age compressive strength of specimen with high temperature curing was higher than that of specimen with standard curing. 28 days age compressive strength of specimen with high temperature curing was less than or equal to that of specimen with standard curing.

The Purpose of this study was to establish the basic data on the mechanical properties of PCM in the high temperature range. To this end, an experiment was conducted on the characteristics of the residual compressive strength by temperature (100, 200, 400 and $600^{\circ}C$) with a fixed temperature heating. An after heating test was performed to investigate the properties after fire damage. The result showed that the residual compressive strength of PCM had a tendency to decrease, regardless of the type of polymer. It was also found that when the contents were low, the residual compressive strength started to greatly decrease from the high temperature range of $400^{\circ}C$, and that the specimen containing PAE showed a steeper slope than the specimen containing EVA. However, since little studies have been conducted on the mechanical properties of PCM with the high temperature, it is considered that, in addition to this study, basic studies must be preceded, including studies on the repairing methods.

This study experimentally investigates the performance improvement of the heat pump by adopting the hot gas bypass method and using the internal heat exchanger according to the automatic defrost test conditions of ISO 5151 This study compares the hot gas bypass method with the time step method, and investigates effect on outdoor coil fan speed when the hot gas of compressor outlet enter outdoor coil inlet after the frost formation. The tests were made for the fan speeds of the outdoor coil controlled at 90, 60 and 30% of the normal speed together with the case of the stationary fan. The performance of the heat pump is evaluated by variables such as COP, heat capacity, and the average COP during the 210 minutes heating mode. Results show that average COP of the hot gas bypass mettled is $2.2{\sim}6%$ higher than that of the time step method. When the outdoor coil fan speed is 60% (780 rpm) of the normal speed, it shows the best COP and heating capacity.

The lateral reinforcements of concrete such as hoops and spiral bars are known to confine concrete to compensate the strength loss due to fire by reducing explosive spalling and improving the capacity of ductility. In this context, a study was conducted to investigate the residual mechanical properties of confined and unconfined concrete($f_{ck}$=60MPa) after a single thermal cycle at 300, 600, $800^{\circ}C$. The main parameters required to establish the stress-strain relationship are the peak stress, the elastic modulus, and the strain at peak stress. The knowledge of the residual mechanical properties of concrete is necessary whenever the thermally damaged structure is required to bear a significant share of the loads, even after a severe thermal accident. Based on the results obtained in this study, the residual stress of confined concrete under thermal damage is higher according to the level of confinement and the larger strain made it to have better ductility. The decreasing ratio of elastic modulus from the relationship of stress and strain was also smaller than that of unconfined concrete.

본 연구에서는 콘크리트 강도에 미치는 양생온도의 영향이 양생시점에 따라 어떻게 변하는지에 대한 실험과 기존의 모델식을 이용하여 분석을 수행하였으며, 양생시점의 영향을 고려한 수정된 등가재령식을 제시함으로써 새로운 강도예측식을 개발하기 위한 기초연구이다. 이를 위해 2종류의 물.시멘트비에 대하여 각각 11종류의 양생이력을 고려한 실험을 수행하였다. 실험변수로는 3종류의 양생온도 (5 $^{\circ}C$, 20 $^{\circ}C$, 4$0^{\circ}C$)와 4종류의 양생시점(0~1일. 1~2, 2~3, 6~7일)을 선정하였다. 또 기존의 Saul 및 Arrhenius 모델식을 이용하여 실험결과를 분석하여 양생시점의 영향을 도입한 각각 수정된 등가재령식을 제시하였다. 실험결과에서 초기재령에서 고온 양생한 경우에는 초기에는 높은 강도를 나타내지만 재령이 증가할수록 오히려 낮은 강도를 나타내었다. 또 초기에 저온으로 양생한 콘크리트는 그 반대의 경향을 보였다. 기존의 등가재령식에서는 같은 등가재령에서도 압축강도는 양생시점에 따라 달라짐을 알 수 있었다. 기존의 모델식은 특히 초기재령에서의 강도예측결과가 실험결과와 잘 맞지 않았으나 이 논문에서 제시된 수정된 등가재령식은 실험결과와 잘 일치하는 결과를 보여 주었다.

건설 분야에서 FRP(Fiber Reinforced Polymers) 부재는 기존의 건설부재에 비해 많은 장점을 가지고 있어 여러 분야에서 연구 및 개발이 이루어지고 있다. 그중 FRP 재료를 이용한 교량 부재들이 해외 뿐만 아니라 국내에서도 연구되고 있으며, FRP 인장재 및 바닥판은 연구 및 개발이 완료돼 현재 시공 중에 있고 FRP 휨 부재 또한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 이런 FRP 부재는 외부 환경에 그대로 노출됨으로써, 온도 등의 주위 환경의 변화에 많은 영향을 받게 되며, 특히 높은 온도에 취약한 성질을 가지고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 FRP 부재의 온도에 따른 역학적 특성을 파악하기위한 실험적 연구로써, $-21^{\circ}C$, $100^{\circ}C$, $200^{\circ}C$에 각각 1시간씩 시험체를 보관한 뒤 내구성 실험을 실시하였다. 각각의 시험체는 FRP 모듈형 박스부재에서 4개씩 채취하였으며, 실험 실시 후 SEM촬영을 실시하여 파괴모드를 분석하였다. 실험 결과 저온일 때는 강도변화가 많이 나타나지 않았으나 고온일 때 압축 및 휨강도의 급격한 저조를 확인할 수 있었다. 고온 보관 시험체의 SEM(Scanning Electron Microscope) 촬영결과 수지의 손상으로 낮은 강도가 측정되는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.
