Compressive strength and elastic modulus of concrete are constantly changing with age. In order to determine long-term development of compressive strength and elastic modulus of concrete, an investigation of C30 concrete cured in air conditions was carried out. Changes of compressive strength and elastic modulus up to 975 days were given. The results indicated that compressive strength and elastic modulus of concrete rapidly increased with age during the initial 150 days and then increased slowly. The gain in elastic modulus was slower than that of compressive strength. Then relationships of time-compressive strength, time-elastic modulus and compressive strength-elastic modulus were proposed by regression analysis and compared with other investigations. The trends of time-compressive strength and time-elastic modulus with age agreed best with ACI 209R-92. Finally, factors contributed to long-term development of compressive strength and elastic modulus of concrete were proposed and briefly analyzed.

Silicate glass is usually a brittle and plate-like material, and it is difficult to measure the elastic modulus by the traditional method. This paper develops a test method for the glass elastic modulus based on the fundamental frequency of the cantilever beam with an elastic support and a free end. The method installs the beam-type specimen on a semi-rigid support to form an elastic support-free end beam. The analytic solution of the stiffness coefficients of the elastic support is developed by the fundamental frequency of the two specimens with known elastic modulus. Then, the glass elastic modulus is measured by the fundamental frequency of the specimens. The method significantly improves the measurement accuracy and is suitable for the elastic modulus with the beam-type specimen whether the glass is homogeneous or not. Several tests on the elastic modulus measurement are conducted to demonstrate the reliability and validity of the test method.

The paper investigates the relationships between dynamic elastic modulus and static elastic modulus or compressive strength according to curing temperature, aging, and cement type. Based on this investigation, the new model equations are proposed. Impact echo method estimates the resonant frequency of specimens and uniaxial compression test measures the static elastic modulus and compressive strength. Type I and V cement concretes, which have the water-cement ratios of 0.40 and 0.50, are cured under the isothermal curing temperature of 10, 23, and 50 $^{\circ}C$. Cement type and aging have no large influence on the relationship between dynamic and static elastic modulus, but the ratio of dynamic and static elastic modulus comes close to 1 as temperature increases. Initial chord elastic modulus, which is calculated at lower strain level of stress-strain curve, has the similar value to dynamic elastic modulus. The relationship between dynamic elastic modulus and compressive strength has the same tendency as the relationship between dynamic and static elastic modulus. The proposed relationship equations between dynamic elastic modulus and static elastic modulus or compressive strength properly estimates the variation of relationships according to cement type, temperature, and aging.

Estimation equations of shear modulus in the plane of laminated veneer lumber (LVL) were compared each other through uniaxial tension test results. The equations - basic elastic equation in the dimensional orthotropic case, Hankinson's formula and empirical equation proposed by Salikis and Falk, were applied to determine the elastic constants at various angles to the grain, which were needed for determination of shear modulus. Tensile elastic modulus of LVL predicted from these equations were compared with test data to evaluate the accuracy of the equation. Tensile elastic modulus rapidly decreased at orientations between 0 and 15 degrees and elastic modulus at grain angles of 15, 30, and 45 degrees overestimated in the presented equations. But the proposed equation by Salikis and Falk showed better prediction, especially at 30, and 45 degrees. This proposed formula would be more useful and practical for estimating of shear modulus of wood composites like LVL to minimize the effect of Poisson's ratio term.

Axial loads and shaft resistances can be calculated by load transfer analysis using strain data with load level. In load transfer analysis, the elastic modulus of concrete is a one of the most important parameters to consider. The elastic modulus, $E_{50}$, suggested by ACI (American Concrete Institute), has been commonly used. However, elastic modulus of concrete shows nonlinear stress-strain characteristic, so nonlinearity should be considered in load transfer analysis. In this paper, a load transfer analysis was performed by using data obtained from bi-directional pile load tests for four cases of drilled shafts. For consideration of nonlinearity, elastic modulus was calculated by both the Fellenius method and the nonlinear method, assuming the stress-strain relation of concrete to be a quadratic function, and then, the calculated elastic modulus was applied to the estimation of shaft resistance. The calculated shaft resistances were compared with the result obtained using the constant elastic modulus of ACI code. It was found that the f-w curves are similar to each method, and elastic modulus and shaft resistances decreased as strain increased. Moreover, shaft resistances estimated from elastic modulus considering nonlinearity were 5~15% different than those obtained using the constant elastic modulus.

Concrete mechanical properties change constantly with age, temperature, humidity and the other environmental factors. This research studies the effects of temperature and age on the development of concrete elastic modulus by a series of prism specimens. Elastic modulus test was conducted at various temperatures and ages in the laboratory to examine the effects of temperature and age on it. The experimental results reveal that the concrete elastic modulus decreases with the rise of temperature but increases with age. Then, a temperature coefficient K is proposed to describe the effects of temperature and validated by existing studies. Finally, on the basis of K, analytical models are proposed to determine the elastic modulus of concrete at a given temperature and age. The proposed models can offer designers an approach to obtain more accurate properties of concrete structures through the elastic modulus modification based on actual age and temperature, rather than using a value merely based on laboratory testing.

본 연구는 심층혼합시료의 탄성계수를 파악하기 위하여 점토, 모래, 자갈의 입도 구성조건에 안정재 혼합비 8%, 10%, 12%, 14%로 혼합하여 총 320개의 공시체를 제작하였다. 이러한 공시체를 사용하여 일축압축시험을 수행하였고, 일축압축강도와 변형률을 분석하여 할선탄성계수와 접선탄성계수를 구하였다. 실내시험 결과 모든 심층혼합시료는 양생기간과 안정재 혼합비가 증가함에 따라 일축압축강도가 증가하였는데, 이에 대한 할선탄성계수와 접선탄성계수도 증가하는 경향이 뚜렷하게 나타났다. 양생기간에 따른 탄성계수 값의 증가는 할선탄성계수보다 접선탄성계수가 크게 나타났지만, 탄성계수의 증분비는 할선탄성계수가 크게 나타났다. 안정재 혼합비 8%에 대한 탄성계수와 안정재 혼합비 10%, 12%, 14%에 대한 탄성계수 값을 비교하여 안정재 혼합비에 따른 탄성계수를 추정할 수 있는 상관관계식을 공시체 조건별로 구하였다. 심층혼합시료의 입경이 굵어지면 각각의 탄성계수가 증가하는 경향이 나타났으며,가장 큰 영향을 미치는 입경의 분포는 모래질의 구성비가 높을 때 나타났다. 한편 탄성계수증가는 공시체 종류별로는 모래질 공시체가 점토질과 자갈질 공시체보다 크게 나타났다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 심층혼합시료의 입도 분포와 안정재 혼합비로 현장의 심층혼합지반의 적절한 지반정수를 제안할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

The aim of this study is to consider effect of weld elastic modulus on simulations of stress concentration and fatigue life for pressure vessel. The investigations include analysis with ADINA and WINLIFE softwares for whole body model about using condition of the boiler vessel. Values of weld elastic modulus were divided by 5 steps in butt weld area of the boiler vessel body. The stress concentration of the butt weld more was increased in case of higher elastic modulus of weld area because of higher difference of material properties between matrix and weld. It was concluded that the fatigue lives were decreased along increasing stress concentration due to high elastic modulus of weld. The matrix microstructure was estimated as pearlitic structure of ${\alpha}$ ferrite and pearlite. And the microstructures of welds along 5 steps of elastic modulus were estimated as bainitic fine pearlite and martensite as increasing elastic modulus.

This paper presents an elastic modulus equation more appropriate for predicting the elastic modulus of structural materials designed for and made of high- and ultra high-strength concrete under current domestic situation in Korea. In order to validate and assess the proposed elastic modulus equation, more than 400 laboratory test data available in the domestic literature on compressive strength of concrete in the range between 400 to 1,000 $kgf/cm^2$ were used and analyzed statistically. Comparison analyses of the proposed elastic modulus equation with previously suggested equations of ACI363R, CEB-FIP, NS3473 and New-RC are also presented to demonstrate its applicability in domestic practice.

Theoretical efforts are performed to extend the formulation of NSLT(New Shear Lag Theory) for the prediction of the elastic modulus in short fiber composite. The formulation is based on the elastic stress transfer considering the stress concentration effects influenced by elastic modulus ratio between fiber and matrix. The composite modulus, thus far, is calculated by changing the fiber aspect ratio and volume fraction. It is found that the comparison with FEA(Finite Element Analysis) results gives a good agreement with the present theory (NSLT). It is also found that the NSLT is more accurate than the SLT(Shear Lag Theory) in short fiber regime when compared by FEA results. However, The modulus predicted by NSLT becomes similar values that of SLT when the fiber aspect ratio increases. Finally, It is shown that the present model has the capability to predict the composite modulus correctly in elastic regime.
