In this study, an expert system is developed to evaluate a safety of tunnel structures. Using a dynamic finite element analysis module, this expert system predicts dynamic responses of a concrete lining surface which a transient force is applied on and estimates the condition between the concrete lining and surrounding ground. The evaluation parameter values of the module are multi-reflected wave frequency and amplitude of the dynamic responses. The multi-reflected wave frequency represents the depth of concrete lining, and the other parameter, the amplitude of the frequency, is utilized for detecting the internal flaws. A comparison of the dynamic responses between numerical and experimental model test verifies an effectiveness of this system. By this expert system, the safety of tunnel structures and the detection of internal flaws of concrete linings are estimated quantitatively.

본 연구에서는 치핑작업중에 콘크리트에 발생할 수 있는 손상균열을 정량분석하기 위해 X-ray CT 이미지를 이용하는 방법을 제안하고자 한다. 이를 위해 치핑작업을 수행한 후, 균열이 발생한 콘크리트 블록을 코어링하여 직경 50 mm, 길이 100 mm의 시편을 준비하였다. 그 후 마이크로 포커스 X-ray CT 촬영을 하여 얻은 이미지를 3D 이미지로 재구성(reconstruction)하였다. 이렇게 얻어진 3D CT 이미지에 3DMA (3 Dimensional Medial axis Analysis)법을 적용하여, 손상 평가 파라메타로 시편의 위치에 따라 균열의 성질을 평가하여 손상을 분석하였다. 분석결과 치핑에 의한 손상은 치핑 표면으로부터 3 cm 깊이까지 발생한 것으로 나타났다. 또한 CT이미지 공간분석법에서 사용되는 여러 파라메타 중 공극률 지표(Porosity index), Burn number 그리고 Medial axis 의 파라메타를 이용해 치핑표면 근처의 손상 분석이 가능하다는 것이 확인되었다. 이 방법은 내부구조에 변화가 발생한 암석을 대상으로 한 연구에서도 비파괴 상태로 내부의 균열 평가, 가시화에 적용가능하다.

혼화재로서 플라이애시가 콘크리트의 전과정 환경영향에 미치는 효과를 정량적으로 평가하기 위하여, 4023개의 실내배합 및 2120개의 레미콘 배합을 분석하였다. 전과정 환경 평가에서 환경부하는 분류화, 특성화, 정규화 및 가중치 단계를 거쳐 정량적인 환경영향 지표로 환산되었다. 콘크리트 전과정 환경영향은 주로 지구 온난화, 광화학 산화 생성물 및 무생물 자원고갈의 세 범주로 분류될 수 있었다. 또한, 콘크리트의 환경영향 지표들은 플라이애시 치환율의 증가와 함께 감소하였으며, 대부분 보통 포틀랜드 시멘트의 양에 의해 결정되었다. 이를 고려하여, 콘크리트의 환경영향 지표들은 단위 결합재 양 및 플라이애시 치환율의 함수로 간단하게 모델링 될 수 있었다.

콘크리트의 건조수축은 수분확산과 밀접한 관계가 있으며, 수분확산과정은 온도와 습도에 의해 많은 영향을 받는다. 또한 물-시멘트비나 골재의 품질등에 의해서도 영향을 받기 때문에 고차의 비선형성을 보인다. 이 연구에서는 먼저 시간에 따른 콘크리트내의 수분분포를 해석하는 프로그램을 개발하고, 그리고 크리이프 및 온도와 숙성도에 따른 탄성계수의 변화를 고려하여 부등건조수축 및 부등응력을 계산하는 프로그램을 개발하였다. 이 프로그램에 의한 해석값들을 BP-KX 모델에 의해 계산된 건조수축값 및 실험값과 비교하여 좋은 결과를 보여 주었으며, 콘크리트내의 응력은 시간과 위치에 따라 정량적으로 계산되었다.

This study investigates quantitative methods for assessment of infrared analysis of concrete admixtures using correlation coefficients by performing IR scans following the ASTM C494/C494M-11 specifications. In order to achieve this goal, numerous IR scans were performed on specimens supplied by the manufacturer from different batches to ensure uniformity and equivalency. These scans were then analyzed to create correlation coefficients for each admixture. The correlation coefficients were used to quantitatively evaluate and interpret IR Scans of job samples. The study focused on 23 most commonly used concrete admixtures by the New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT). They include air-entrainers, accelerators, retarders, water reducers, and other combinations of these admixtures. Their correlation coefficients were established by analyzing a total of 12 scans of each admixture from three different batches supplied by the manufacturer at different time intervals. In order to validate the obtained correlation coefficients and establish a target correlation, job samples were tested and compared to the obtained correlations. The study also evaluated the effects of drying time and using different types of KBr on correlation coefficients.

RC (Reinforced Concrete) members are always subjected to loading conditions and have construction joints when constructed on a big scale. Service life for RC structure exposed to chloride attack is usually estimated through chloride diffusion test in sound concrete, however the test is performed without consideration of effect of loading and joint. In the present work, chloride diffusion coefficient is measured in concrete cured for 1 year. In order to evaluate the effect of applied load, cold joint, and mineral admixtures, OPC (Ordinary Portland Cement) and 40%-replaced GGBFS (Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag) concrete are prepared. The diffusion test is performed under loading conditions for concrete containing cold joint. Investigating the previous test results for 91 days-cured condition and the present work, changing diffusion coefficients with applied stress are normalized considering material type and cold joint. For evaluation of service life in RC continuous beam with 2 spans, non-linear analytical model is adopted, and service life in each location is evaluated considering the effects of applied stress, cold joint, and GGBFS. From the work, varying service life is simulated under various loading conditions, and the reduced results due to cold joint and tensile zone are quantitatively evaluated. The effect of various conditions on diffusion can provide more quantitative evaluation of chloride behavior and the related service life.

Self-compacting concrete (SCC), characterized by the high flowability and resistance to segregation, is due to the high amount of paste (including cement and mineral admixtures) in contrast with normal concrete (NC). However, the high amount of paste will limit the volume fractions of coarse aggregate,and reduce the tendency of coarse aggregate to suppress drying shrinkage deformations. For this reason, SCC tends to produce higher values of drying shrinkage than NC for the most part. In order to assess the drying shrinkage of SCC quantitatively for application to offshore caisson foundations, the formulas presented in the literatures (ACI 209 and CEB-FIP) are used to predict the values of drying shrinkage in SCC according to the corresponding mix proportions. Additionally, a finite element (FE) model, which assumes concrete to be a homogeneous and isotropic material and follows the actual size and environmental conditions of the caisson, is utilized to simulate stress distribution situations and deformations in the SCC caisson resulting from the drying shrinkage. The probability of cracking and the behavior of drying shrinkage of the SCC caisson are drawn from the analytic results calculated by the FE model proposed in this paper.

The influence of temperature on the material of concrete filled columns (CFCs) under axial loading has been quantitatively studied in this research. CFCs have many various advantages and disadvantages. One of the important inefficiency of classic CFCs design is the practical lack of hooped compression under the operational loads because of the fewer variables of Poisson's rate of concrete compared to steel. This is the reason why the holder tends to break away from the concrete core in elastic stage. It is also suggested to produce concrete filled steel tube columns with an initial compressed concrete core to surpass their design. Elevated temperatures have essentially reduced the strengths of steel tubes and the final capacity of CFCs exposed to fire. Thus, the computation of bearing capacity of concrete filled steel tube columns is studied here. Sometimes, the structures of concrete could be exposed to the high temperatures during altered times, accordingly, outcomes have shown a decrement in compressive-strength, then an increase with the reduction of this content. In addition, the moisture content at the minimal strength is declined with temperature rising. According to Finite Element (FE), the column performance assessment is carried out according to the axial load carrying capacities and the improvement of ductility and strength because of limitations. Self-stress could significantly develop the ultimate stiffness and capacity of concrete columns. In addition, the design equations for the ultimate capacity of concrete columns have been offered and the predictions satisfactorily agree with the numerical results. The proposed based model (FE model of PEC column) 65% aligns with the concrete exposed to high temperature. Therefore, computed solutions have represented a better perception of structural and thermal responses of CFC in fire.

The presence of voids under pavements or behind tunnel linings results in the deterioration. One method of detecting such voids by non-destructive means is radar. This research is devoted to quantitatively evaluating the efficiency of such non-destructive tests with radar. As a foundation to this ongoing research, which aims to estimate the thickness of voids using radar, an analysis method based on radar signal processing using convolution technique is carried out with various void thicknesses in embedded layer which has different electromagnetic properties. The computed results were verified by comparing the test results. As a result, a proposed method in this study has a possibilty of estimating the thickness of voids with good accuracy.
