The main objectives of this study are to investigate the anisotropic characteristics of rocks and to evaluate the relationships between physical properties. A series of experiments were performed in three mutually perpendicular directions for three rock types, which are granite, granitic gneiss and limestone. The relationships of measured physical properties were evaluated. The results of ultrasonic wave velocity measurement show that granite of three rock types gives the largest directional difference, and that the wave velocity in a plane parallel to a transversely isotropic one is dominantly faster than that in a subvertical or vertical plane. It implies that ultrasonic wave velocity for rock could be used as a useful tool for estimating the degree of anisotropy. The ratio of uniaxial compressive strength to Brazilian tensile strength ranges approximately from 13 to 16 for granite. from 8 to 9 for granite gneiss, and from 9 to 18 for limestone. The directional differences for granite and granitic gneiss are very small, and on the other hand, is relatively large for limestone. It is suggested that strength of rock makes quite difference depending on the rock types and loading directions, especially for the anisotropic rocks such as transversely isotropic or orthotropic rocks. The ratio of uniaxial compressive strength to point load strength index ranges from 18 to 20 for granite, from 17 to 19 for granitic gneiss, and from 21 to 24 for limestone. These results show that point load strength index makes also a difference depending on rock types and directions. Therefore. it should be noted that the ratio of uniaxial compressive strength to point load strength index could be applied to all rock types. Uniaxial compressive strength shows relatively good relationship with point load strength index, Schmidt hammer rebound value, and tensile strength. In particulat, point load strength index is shown to be the best comparative relationship. It is indicated that point load test is the most useful tool to estimate an uniaxial compressive strength indirectly.

본 논문에서는 고분자기지 복합재의 해저환경에서의 압축특성에 대한 영향을 연구하였다. 실험에 사용된 시편은 두꺼운 두께를 갖는 적층된 Carbon-Epoxy 복합재를 사용하였으며, 충분한 해수 함유를 위해 시편을 해수에 13개원 동안 침지시켰다. Carbon-Epoxy 복합재의 포화 해수함유량은 시편무게의 약 1.2%였다. 해저환경을 모사하기 위해 네 경우의 정수압력(0.1, 100, 200, 270 MPa)을 적용하여 실험하였다. 실험결과로써 압축탄성계수는 정수압력이 0.1 MPa에서 200 MPa로 증가함에 따라 약 10%정도 증가하였다. 또한 압력을 270 MPa로 증가시킴에 따라 압축탄성계수는 2.3%가 더 증가하였다. 압축파괴강도와 압축파괴변형률은 정수압력이 증가함에 따라 선형적으로 증가함을 알 수 있었다. 정수압력이 0.1 MPa에서 270 MPa로 증가함에 따라 압축파괴강도는 약28％가 증가하였고 압축파괴변형률은 약 8.5%의 증가를 나타내었다.

This study intends to produce an ultra-high performance fibre reinforced concrete (UHPFRC) made with hybrid fibres (i.e., steel and polypropylene). Compressive and tensile strength characteristics of the hybrid fibres UHPFRC are considered. A total of 14 fibre-reinforced composites (FRCs) with different fibre contents or types of fibres were prepared and tested in order to determine a suitable hybrid fibre combination. The compressive and tensile strengths of each concrete at 7 days were determined. The results showed that a hybrid mix of micro-polypropylene and steel fibres exhibited good compromising performances and is the ideal reinforcement mixture in a strong, cost-effective UHPFRC. In addition, maximum compressive strength of 167 MPa was achieved for UHPFRC using 1.5% steel fibres blended with 0.5% macro-polypropylene fibres.

In this research, the behavior characteristics of cement mixing lightweight soil (CMLS) for recycling of dredged soil in the Nakdong River estuary are experimentally investigated. CMLS is composed of the dredged soil from Nakdong River estuary, cement, and air foam. For this purpose, uniaxial compression tests are carried out for artificially prepared specimens of CMLS, with various initial water contents, cement contents, and mixing ratio of dredged soils. The experimental results of CMLS indicated that the compressive strength is strongly influenced by the cement contents, rather than water contents and air foam. Compressive strength of CMLS increased with an increase in cement content, while it decreased with an increase in water content and air foam content. It was also found that the modulus of deformation E50 was in a range of 44 to 128 times greater than the value of uniaxial compressive strength, cured in 28 days.

Many have been performed to decrease the thickness of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles to reduce the manufacturing cost. However, it is difficult to guarantee the mechanical strength under top-loading after decreasing the thickness. This paper investigates the large deformation characteristics of a PET bottle under a compressive load using experimental and finite element analysis (FEA) data. A round 1.65-L bottle is analyzed under a compressive velocity of 5 mm/min with a maximum load of 9,800 N in experiments. The arc length method is used in a nonlinear FEA to understand the buckling phenomenon of the PET bottle. From the analyzed results, a recommendation is made to restrict the top loading to less than 1,208 N, because the first buckling phenomenon occurred at a load of 1,208 N.

The lightness of components that was required in automobile and machinery industry requires high strength of components. In particular, manufacturing process and new materials development for solving the fatigue facture problem attendant upon high strength of suspension of automobile are actively advanced. In this paper, the effect of compressive residual stress of spring steel(JISG SUP-9)by shot-peening on fatigue crack growth characteristics in high temperature($100^{\circ}C,\;150^{\circ}C,\;180^{\circ}C$)was investigated with considering fracture mechanics. So, we can obtaint the followings. (1) Compressive residual stress is decreased with increasing the test temperature. (2) The effect of compressive residual stress on fatigue crack growth behavior in high temperature is increased below ${\Delta}K=17{\sim}19MPa{\sqrt{m}}$. (3) It was investigated by SEM that the constraint of compress residual stress for plastic zone of fatigue crack tip was decreased in high temperature as compared with room temperature.

The impacts of reinforcing concrete matrix with steel fibers, polypropylene fibers and recycled plastic fibers using different volume fractions of 0.15%, 0.5%, 1.5% and 2.5% on the compressive and tensile characteristics are experimentally investigated in the current research. Also, flexural behavior of plain concrete (PC) beams, shear performance of reinforced concrete (RC) beams and compressive characteristics of both PC and RC columns reinforced with recycled plastic fibers were studied. The experimental results showed that the steel fibers improved the splitting tensile strength of concrete higher than both the polypropylene fibers and recycled plastic fibers. The end-hooked steel fibers had a positive effect on the compressive strength of concrete while, the polypropylene fibers, the recycled plastic fibers and the rounded steel fibers had a negative impact. Compressive strength of end-hooked steel fiber specimen with volume fraction of 2.5% exhibited the highest value among all tested samples of 32.48 MPa, 21.83% higher than the control specimen. The ultimate load, stiffness, ductility and failure patterns of PC and RC beams in addition to PC and RC columns strengthened with recycled plastic fibers enhanced remarkably compared to non-strengthened elements. The maximum ultimate load and stiffness of RC column reinforced with recycled plastic fibers with 1.5% volume fraction improved by 21 and 15%, respectively compared to non-reinforced RC column.

The purpose of this study is to provide basic data for utilization in environment-friendly and economically outstanding CSG construction method by physical and mechanical properties of CSG materials including characteristics of uniaxial compressive strength, microscopic structure and freezing and thawing resistance in accordance with the cement content and curing time of the cement, and size of specimen. In this study, specimens with cement content of 4, 6, 8 and 10% of the total weight were, and, in order to examine the characteristics of the sizes of specimen, specimens with ${\Phi}50{\times}100mm$, ${\Phi}100{\times}200mm$ and ${\Phi}150{\times}300mm$ were manufactured to assess the features including compressive strength, microscopic structure, freezing and thawing, and degree of wet-dry. As results, it was found that with greater size specimen or contents of cement in the specimen, compressive strength, freezing and thawing resistance, and wet-dry resistance increase. Moreover, reactive products for each size of specimen were examined and it was possible to verify that some typical needle structured ettringite was generated due to blending of cement through microscopic structure analysis such as SEM and EDS analysis.
