콘크리트는 시멘트, 잔골재 및 굵은 골재, 물 및 첨가제의 양이나 투입순서 ,혼합방법등 여러 가지 요인에 따라 성질이 바뀌게 되는 복합재료이다. 따라서 넓은 의미에서 품질 판정의 한 수단이 되는 콘크리트의 설계기준강도 또는 압축강도 fc'(=28일 압축강도)는 물론 기타의 성질도 정확한 예측이 불가능하다. 즉 소요강도를 목표로 배합된 공시체의 시험결과는 예외없이 통계적 가변성을 나타낸다. 여기에서는 공시체의 7일 강도의 평균치 및 표준 편차와 공시체의 28일 강도 측정치로부터 콘크리트의 압축강도를 추정하는식을 제안하였다. 이를 위하여 7,320개의 강도시험자료를 수집한 후 이들을 선형 회귀 분석법으로 처리하였다. 제안된 식에 의한 콘크리트의 압축강도는 타 추정식에 의한 값보다 실측치에 좀 더 근접함을 보여주었다. 또한 제안식의 검정을 위해 서울지역 자료 5,200개를 수집하여 제안식과 JIS, Slater식과의 오차를 비교한 결과에 따르면 제안식이 더 안전측임을 알 수 있었다. 그리고 슈미트 햄머에 의한 현장 실측 강도와 제안식과의 콘크리트 강도 오차는 대체로 2.3%이었다.

The compressive strength of concrete is a criterion to produce concrete. However, the tests on the compressive strength are complicated and time-consuming. More importantly, it is too late to make improvement even if the test result does not satisfy the required strength, since the test is usually performed at the 28th day after the placement of concrete at the construction site. Therefore, strength prediction before the placement of concrete is highly desirable. This study presents the probabilistic technique for predicting the compressive strength of concrete on the basis of concrete mix proportions. The estimation of the strength is based on the probabilistic neural network which is an effective tool for pattern classification problem and gives a probabilistic result, not a deterministic value. In this study, verifications for the applicability of the probabilistic neural networks were performed using the test results of concrete compressive strength. The estimated strengths are also compared with the results of the actual compression tests. It has been found that the present methods are very efficient and reasonable in predicting the compressive strength of concrete probabilistically.

In this study, the correlation between concrete core compressive strength and rebound hardness of urban railway underground structures was analyzed. The equations for the range of rebound hardness were derived and compared with the measured concrete core strengths for each range of rebound hardness to confirm the adequacy of the estimated compressive strength. As the result, the linear regression analysis results of the average compressive strength by the Gaussian probability density function (representative compressive strength estimation formula) and the estimation formula by the rebound hardness range were founded to match well within 3% of the experimental concrete core compressive strength test results. Therefore, the stochastic statistical analysis using the rebound hardness measurement results suggested in this study could be help to secure the confidence level of the correlation between the rebound hardness and the concrete compressive strength which are relatively large deviation according to the estimation equations.

본 논문은 콘크리트의 양생 강도 발현을 모니터링하기 위하여 매립형 압전 센서를 이용하여 콘크리트 내부의 임피던스 및 유도초음파 신호를 측정함으로써, 콘크리트의 양생 강도를 실시간 추정할 수 있는 기법을 개발하였다. 임피던스 및 유도초음파 신호는 구조물의 물성을 나타내며 특히 양생 기간 중 임피던스 및 유도초음파의 변화는 해당 콘크리트 구조물의 강도변화를 나타낼 수 있다. 이를 이용하여 매립형 압전 센서로부터 저비용의 셀프 센싱 기반 임피던스 및 유도초음파를 계측하여 콘크리트의 임피던스 공진 주파수 및 유도초음파의 전달 강도를 측정하고 측정된 신호를 통하여 콘크리트 양생 강도를 추정할 수 있게 된다. 제안된 기법의 적용가능성을 검증하기 위하여 설계 압축강도 30MPa의 콘크리트 슬라브 내부에 매립형 압전 센서를 매립하고 양생기간 동안 임피던스 및 유도초음파 신호를 측정, 비교 분석 하였다. 측정된 신호 및 압축강도를 통하여 임피던스 및 유도초음파 기반 강도 추정 모델을 도출하고 보다 높은 정확도를 얻기 위해 다중스케일 강도 추정 모델을 개발하였다. 결과적으로 본 연구를 통해 매립형 압전 센서를 이용하여 콘크리트의 양생 강도를 실시간 모니터링할 수 있음이 검증되었다.

To estimate the compressive strength of concrete more realistically, relative large number of data are necessary. However, it is very common in practice that only limited data are available. The purpose of the present paper is therefore to propose a realistic method to estimate the compressive strength of concrete with limited data in actual site. The Bayesian method of statistical analysis has been applied to the problem of the estimation of compressive strength of concrete. The mean compressive strength is considered as the random parameter and a prior distribution is selected to enable updating of the Bayesian distribution of compressive strength of concrete reflecting both existing data and sampling observations. The updating of the Bayesian distribution with increasing data is illustrated in numerical application. It is shown that by combining prior estimation with information from site observation, more precise estimation is possible with relatively small sampling. It is also seen that the contribution of the prior in determining the posterior distribution depends on its sharpness or flatness in relation to the sharpness or flatness of the likelihood function. The present paper allows more realistic determination of concrete strength in site with limited data.

Recently, as the remodeling market gradually substitute for new construction market and safety diagnosis for reconstruction apartment become a matter of principal Interest, it is demanded that scientific diagnosis and evaluation for existing concrete structure state. And it is increasing that the significance for reliability of data which is used for estimating the concrete compressive strength by nondestructive test. As a result, it is found that different proposal to material age and hitting angle is good to improving the reliability of presumption of concrete compressive strength in the linear hitting rebound test hammer. And for the reason that mutual relation between the compressive strength and rebound degree is highest in linear hitting rebound test hammer 25mm in all portion according to early md middle material age and hitting angle except the early material age $-45^{\circ}$, analysis showed that linear hitting rebound test hammer is more reliable than existing schmidt hammer in presumption of concrete compressive strength.

The main purpose of this study is reducing the cost and effort for characterization of tensile strength of fiber reinforced concrete, in order to use in structural design. For this purpose, in this study, test for fiber reinforced concrete was carried out. Because fiber reinforced concrete is consisted of diverse material, it is hard to define the correlation between mix proportions and strength. Therefore, compressive strength test and tensile strength test were carried out for the range of smaller than 100 MPa of compressive strength and 0.25~1% of steel fiber volume fraction. as a results of test, two types of tensile strength were highly affected by compressive strength of concrete. However, increase rate of tensile strength was decreased with increase of compressive strength. Increase rate of tensile strength was decreased with increase of fiber volume fraction. Database was constructed using previous research data. Because estimation equations for tensile strength of fiber reinforced concrete should be multiple variable function, linear regression is hard to apply. Therefore, in this study, we decided to use the ANN(Artificial Neural Network). ANN was constructed using multiple layer perceptron architecture. Sigmoid function was used as transfer function and back propagation training method was used. As a results of prediction using artificial neural network, predicted values of test data and previous research which was randomly selected were well agreed with each other. And the main effective parameters are water-cement ratio and fiber volume fraction.

철근콘크리트부재의 강도는 여러 가지 요인으로 인하여 변이를 보이고 있다. 주요 요인들은 콘크리트나 철근의 강도 및 역학적 특성의 변이, 시공오차등이다. 이들중 콘크리트의 강도는 상대적으로 높은 불확실성을 가지며, 다양한 요인(배합, 운반, 타설, 양생등)에 의해 변화정도가 영향을 받는다. 본 연구에서는 국내 철근콘크리트 구조물이 가지는 신뢰도의 수준을 분석하기 위한 기초자료 조사로서, 현장에서 타설되는 콘크리트를 설계강도별로 직접채취하여 습윤양생과 현장조건양생을 통하여 콘크리트의 28일 압축강도의 확률적 특성을 분석하였다. 분석된 결과를 이용하여 현장타설 부재내에서의 콘크리트의 압축강도를 추정하였다.

The maturity method in which the strength increase of cement concrete is expressed as a function of an intergral of the curing period and temperature of the concrete has often been applied to its strength prediction. For the purpose of the application of the maturity method to the compressive strength prediction for lightweight polymer mortars using an unsaturated polyester resin as a binder, the lightweight polymer mortars with various catalyst and accelerator contents, are prepared. tested for compressive strength, and the datum temperatures for the maturity equations are estimated. The maturity is calculated by using the maturity equations with the estimated datum temperature. The compressive strengths of the lighweight polymer mortars are predicted from the maturity-compressive strength relationships.
