현대사회에서 점차 경량콘크리트의 활용도에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있으나 이에 관한 연구실적은 아직까지 미비하다. 경량콘크리트는 그 특성상 가벼운 자중과 높은 에너지 흡수성을 가지고 있다는 점에서 방호벽에 적용 가능한 재료로 볼 수 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 이러한 점을 고려하여 경량 방호벽에 대한 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션을 통한 경량콘크리트 방호벽의 거동해석을 수행하였으며, 이를 위해 미세역학기반 경량콘크리트 모델을 상용 유한요소 프로그램인 ABAQUS에 적용하여 경량콘크리트 압축공시체에 관한 해석을 선 수행하였다. 이를 통해 도출된 손상변수를 통하여 실제 방호벽에 대한 정적 하중 시뮬레이션을 수행하였다.

Uniaxial compression tests for ultra-high performance hybrid steel fiber reinforced concrete (UHPC) were performed to evaluate the compressive behavior of UHPC. The UHPC for testing contains hybrid steel fibers with a predetermined ratio using a length of 19 mm and 16 mm straight typed steel fibers. Test parameter was determined as a fiber volume ratio to investigate the effect of fiber volume ratio on the strength and secant modulus of elasticity. Test results showed that the compressive strength and elastic modulus of UHPC increased with increasing the fiber volume ratio. Based on the test results, the compressive strength and modulus of elasticity equations were proposed as function of the compressive strength of unreinforced and fiber reinforced UHPC, respectively. The simplified equations for predicting the mechanical properties of the UHPC were a good agreement with the test data. The proposed equations are expected to be applied to the SFRC and UHPC with steel fibers.

Indirect tensile strength(IDT) test and resilient modulus(Mr) test were performed to evaluate experimental performance characteristics for the conventional and crumb rubber-modified(CRM) asphalt concrete using dry and wet processes asphalt. The IDT test was conducted under three temperatures(5, 10, 20$^{\circ}C$). According to the test results, it was shown that indirect tensile strength of CRM asphalt concrete was lower than that of the conventional one. However, toughness and maximum vortical strain of the CRM asphalt concrete were higher than those of the conventional one. The results of Mr test were presented that Mr of CRM asphalt concrete was higher than that of the conventional one. In addition, it was revealed that the overall laboratory performance characteristics of the wet-processed CRM asphalt concrete was better than those of the dry-processed one.

When the concrete is confined to width direction, stress-strain curve of concrete are different from the uniaxial behavior. In case of normal strength concrete, Mander model are used with concrete material model which considers confining effect. Sakino-Sun model showed experimental result of specimen-level and the highest accuracy. Therefore, Normal strength concrete used Mander model. and High strength concrete used Sakino-Sun model. But there are significant differences from actual data when medium strength concrete used Mander or Sakino-Sun model. and Limit scope of maximum or minimum compressive strength of concrete is not clear when applied to two models. Therefore, In this research, material nonlinear model of confined concrete is suggested when concrete which has 30-40MPa's strength is confined to width direction.

In this paper, polymer-modified repair materials using polymer dispersions with six repair methods are prepared with various polymer-cement ratios, and tested for compressive and flexural strengths through each curing condition such as dry cure, water cure, and freezing and thawing cyclic action. And, the adhesive interface between the polymer-modified mortar and mortar substrate is observed by a scanning electron microscope. From the test results, the compressive and flexural strengths of cement mortar repaired by polymer-modified mortar are improved with a rise in the polymer-cement ratio regardless of the type of polymer and curing conditions. Such an improvement in the strengths of polymer-modified repair materials to ordinary cement mortar is explained by the high adhesion of polymer-modified mortar. Strength reduction of polymer-modified repair materials after freezing and thawing cyclic actions is recognized, but it is lower than that of unmodified mortar. Especially, cement mortar repaired by polymer-modified mortar with a St/BA emulsion has good strength properties compared with those of SBR latex and PA emulsion. Accordingly, it is judged that polymer-modified mortars with a St/BA emulsion are possible to use as repair materials to ordinary cement mortar and concrete.

It has been well known that the alkali-aggregate reaction between the aggregates and cement paste is one of the reasons of a concrete siructre expansion. Because of a serious demage on the concrete stnicture from the expansion, in many countries, the safety of the materials is checked in laboratory by mortar-bar test and the upper limit of expansion in length is 0.1%. The prescriptions are presented in the ASTM C227 and 490 of U.S. which has been international currency and in the KS Handbook F2503, F2546 and L5107 of Korea published by Korean Standards Association. Both of the prescriptions are almost same in their contents. Actually, in the process of preparing and measuring the mortar-bar according to the prescription mentioned above, it seems that there are no problems for its own purpose but a few points are found to be improved upon the methods to increase the accuracy for laboratory work as follows. 1. The prescription of blending ratio(aggregate, cement and water) should be noted by volume not by weight. 2. It is unreasonable to measure the initial length of mortar bars after 24$\pm$2 hours at once regardless the kind of aggregates. 3. It may bring about errors in calculating the expansion ratio under the condition of the denominator value fixed as 254mm. 4. The measuring methods of specific gravity are selected according to the purposes but the pure specific gravity displays the highest accuracy among them.

Blast furnace slag(BFS) is a by-product generated during the manufacture of pig ion, and is divided into water-cooled slag(WS) and air-cooled slag(AS) by the coking method of BFS. In this study, concrete specimens with ternary binders were produced at the various replacement levels of cement by AS. Various mechanical properties of concrete, such as compressive and split tensile strengths, absorption and water permeable pore, were measured. In addition, the chloride ions penetration resistance and carbonation resistance were tested to evaluate the durability of concrete incorporating AS. The experimental data indicated that the use of AS up to a maximum of 10% replacement level enhanced the concrete performance. However, a higher replacement of AS exhibited poor mechanical properties and concrete durability.

A method for lmprovlng strengths of recycled concrete was studied to make use of it in nolmal concrete structures. Recycled conc~ete was prepared by replacing 50% by weight of coarse aggregate with recycled aggregate. Mix design rnet hod for crushed aggregates was used and specirriens were cured by normal moisture curing method. A plastlciser and a fly ash were added to the mix to improve performance of recycled concrete. Compressive strength, flexural strength, tensile strength, elastic modulus, stress-strain relationship, long-term compressive strength and fracture toughness were evaluated and compared with those of rlormal concretes. Recycled concrete showed, in general, lower compressive strength than normal concreks. It also showed lower elastic modulus, lower tensile and flexural strengths, and higher strain under the same stress level. However, by reducing w /c ratio down to 35% using the plasticiser. average compressive strength(${\alpha}_{28}$) of recycled concrete was reached. with slump of $16{\pm}2$cm, to $225kg/cm^2$ or hlgher, which is an acceptable strmgth level for normal structural concrete. I-Iowevei., elastic modulus and strain should be improved further for practical use of recycled concrctc: in normal structure. Fly ash addition in both concretes showed an effect of irnprovilig long term compressive strength and reducing strengths.

Recently, the use of mineral admixtures in concrete has been studied in many laboratories, and been applied in the field. But the non-destructive testing equation proposed in Japan for normal strength concrete has been used to determine compressive strength, because there has been a lack of systematic research on the compressive strength of concrete using mineral admixtures. For this reason, it is essential to suggest a non-destructive testing equation to estimate the compressive strength of concrete using mineral admixtures. Therefore, this study made a cylindrical specimen and core tube specimen of concrete using a mineral admixture, and suggested a strength estimation of long-term age (4 years) through non-destructive and destructive tests. The results of the research are as follows. Comparing error rates between conventional suggested equations and this estimated equation shows some differences by age, but the error rate of this study was reduced to 0.3 %~115.0 % compared to conventional equations by re-bound hammering, 0.2 %~22.8 % by the ultrasound velocity method and 0.5 %~102.3 % by complex method. Accordingly, it is judged to be suitable for assessing the compressive strength of concretes using mineral admixtures.

Four series of reinforced concrete beams were tested to determine their shear cracking strengths and ultimate shear capacities. All beams were singly reinforced without shear reinforcement. The concrete strength was the prime variable which was varied from 247 to $708kg/cm^2$(8500 to 10000 psi). Within each series the shear span-to-depth ratio was varied from 2 to 5, while concrete strength was held constant. Test results indicate that the effect of concrete strength on shear capacities is varied as the shear span-to-depth ratio is changed. Furthermore, the current shear design provisions do not provide a consistency with respect to estimating shear capacities of reinforced concrete beams. By introducing the shear failure mode index, a new equation is proposed to predict ultimate shear strengths of reinforced concrete beams without web reinforcement.
