To defend against harmful gamma radiation, new types of materials for use in the construction of heavyweight concrete (HWC) are still needed to be developed. This research introduces new materials to be employed as a partial replacement for fine aggregate (FA) to manufacture high-performance heavyweight concrete (HPHWC). These materials include hematite, black sand, ilmenite, and magnetite, with substitution ratios of 50% and 100% of FA. In this research, the hardening and fresh characteristics of HPHWC were obtained. Concrete samples' Gamma-ray linear attenuation coefficient was evaluated utilizing a gamma source of Co-60 through the thicknesses of 2.5, 5, 7.5, 10, 12.5, and 15 cm. High temperatures were studied for HPHWC samples, which were exposed to up to 700℃ for two hours. Energy-dispersive x-rays and a scanning electron microscope carried out microstructure analyses. Magnetite as an FA attained the lowest compressive strength of 87.1 MPa, but the best radiation protection characteristics and the highest density of 3100 kg/m³ were achieved. After 28 days, the attenuation efficiency of concrete mixtures was increased by 6.5% when fine sand was replaced with black sand at a ratio of 50%. HPHWC, which contains hematite, black sand, ilmenite, and magnetite, is designed to reduce environmental and health dangers and be used in medicinal, military, and civil applications.

고밀도 폐유리가 콘크리트를 포함하는 건설 재료로 사용 가능함이 밝혀짐에 따라 본 연구에서는 고밀도 폐유리를 잔골재로 적용한 RC 부재의 구조적 거동을 평가하고자 휨거동 실험을 수행하고 그 결과를 비선형 유한요소해석 결과와 비교 검토하였다. 그 결과, 고밀도 폐유리를 잔골재로 사용하게 되면, 균열 개수가 감소하고 균열 간격 및 압괴 면적이 증가하였다. 또한, 고밀도 폐유리를 잔골재로 대체한 부재는 높은 처짐 단계에서 연성이 감소되었다. 이러한 이유로 천연골재를 사용한 부재와 동일한 방법의 해석 기법은 고밀도 폐유리를 잔골재로 대체한 부재의 휨거동에 대한 초기강성, 항복하중 및 최대하중을 제대로 예측하지 못하는 것으로 나타났으나, 압괴 진전에 따른 중립축 깊이가 감소하는 것을 해석적으로 구현하게 되면, 비선형 유한요소 해석 결과가 실험결과를 비교적 잘 예측하는 것으로 나타났다.

In general, magnetite or barite (density: more than 4.0ton/㎥) has been used in concrete for radiation shielding, and radiation tests have been performed to evaluate shielding performance. However, researchers have not studied concrete for radiation shielding that utilizes electric arc furnace oxidizing slag. This research aims to utilize electric arc furnace oxidizing slag which depends on reclamation as environment-friendly concrete materials by using coarse and fine aggregates of electric arc furnace slag containing 30% ferrous metal and with a density of around 3.0~3.8 ton/㎥. Accordingly, this research has judged that the high density electric arc furnace oxidizing slag aggregate can be applied to radiation shielding concrete. It has also examined the possibility of developing radiation shielding concrete utilizing electric arc furnace oxidizing slag aggregate by comparing concrete utilizing all fine and coarse aggregate of electric arc furnace oxidizing slag with concrete using magnetite.

This study aimed to investigate the suitability of some concrete components for producing "high-performance heavy density concrete" using different types of aggregates that could enhances the shielding efficiency against ${\gamma}$-rays. 15 mixes were prepared using barite, magnetite, goethite and serpentine aggregates along with 10% silica fume, 20% fly ash and 30% blast furnace slag to total OPC content for each mix. The mixes were subjected to compressive strength at 7, 28 and 90 days. In some mixes, compressive strengths were also tested up to 90 days upon replacing sand with the fine portions of magnetite, barite and goethite. The mixes containing magnetite along with 10% SF reaches the highest compressive strength exceeding over M60 requirement by 14% after 28 days. Whereas, the compressive strength of concrete containing barite was very close to M60 and exceeds upon continuing for 90 days. Also, the compressive strength of high-performance concrete incorporating magnetite fine aggregate was significantly higher than that containing sand by 23%. On the other hand, concrete made with magnetite fine aggregate had higher physico-mechanical properties than that containing barite and goethite. High-performance concrete incorporating magnetite fine aggregate enhances the shielding efficiency against ${\gamma}$-rays.

High-strength shielding concrete against gamma radiation is a priority for many medical and industrial facilities. This paper aimed to investigate the gamma-ray shielding properties of high-strength hematite concrete mixed with silica fume (SF) with nanoparticles of lead dioxide (PbO₂), tungsten oxide (WO₃), and bismuth oxide (Bi₂O₃). The effect of mixing steel fibres with the aforementioned binders was also investigated. The reference mixture was prepared for high-strength concrete (HSCC) containing 100% hematite coarse and fine aggregate. Thirteen mixtures containing 5% SF and nanoparticles of PbO₂, WO₃, and Bi₂O₃ (2%, 5%, and 7% of the cement mass, respectively) were prepared. Steel fibres were added at a volume ratio of 0.28% of the volume of concrete with 5% of nanoparticles. The slump test was conducted to workability of fresh concrete Unit weight water permeability, compressive strength, splitting tensile strength, flexural strength, and modulus of elasticity tests were conducted to assess concrete's engineering properties at 28 days. Gamma-ray radiation of 137Cs emits photons with an energy of 662 keV, and that of 60Co emits two photons with energies of 1173 and 1332 keV were applied on concrete specimens to assess radiation shielding properties. Nanoparticles partially replacing cement reduced slump in workability of fresh concrete. The compressive strength of mixtures, including nanoparticles was shown to be greater, achieving 94.5 MPa for the mixture consisting of 7.5 PbO2. In contrast, the mixture (5PbO₂-F) containing steel fibres achieved the highest values for splitting tensile, flexural strength, and modulus of elasticity (11.71, 15.97, and 42,840 MPa, respectively). High-strength shielded concrete (7.5PbO2) showed the best radiation protection. It also showed the minimum concrete thickness required to prevent the transmission of radiation.

이 연구에서는 중량콘크리트 전단벽의 경계요소내에서 횡보강근으로서 와이어로프의 적용가능성을 평가하였다. 와이어로프의 횡보강근의 배근간격은 60 mm에서 120 mm로 변화되었는데, 이때의 횡보강근체적지수는 0.126~0.234이다. 와이어로프는 주철근의 외부와 경계요소내 내부의 크로스타이로 적용되었다. 와이어로프로 횡보강된 5개의 중량콘크리트 전단벽은 축력하중하에서 반복횡하중의 실험이 수행되었다. 실험결과, 횡보강근체적지수가 증가함에 따라 전단벽의 연성은 현저하게 증가한 반면, 휨 내력의 변화는 미미하였다. 전단벽의 휨 내력의 실험결과는 ACI 318-11 기준의 예측값 보다 다소 높았다. 동일한 횡보강근체적지수에서 와이어로프로 횡보강된 전단벽의 변위연성비는 일반철근으로 보강된 전단벽보다 높았다. 특히, 이 실험결과로부터 고연성설계를 위한 곡률연성비 16 이상을 확보하기 위해서는 횡보강근체적지수가 0.233 이상이 요구되었다.

콘크리트 충전 강관(Concrete Filled Steel Tube : CFT) 기둥은 내력 및 변형능력 등 구조적 성능이 뛰어남에도 불구하고 강관내부에 충전한 콘크리트의 재료분리저항성 및 유동성이 확보되는 고품질의 콘크리트가 요구되며, 또한, 다이어프램 하부의 충전 확인이 어렵다는 문제점을 안고 있다. 따라서 CFT기둥의 장점인 내력 및 시공성을 살리고, 현장 충전 공법에서의 단점을 극복하기 위하여 CFT부재의 PC화가 연구되어 왔다. 그러나 CFT부재의 PC화는 고중량물이기 때문에 운반과 양중능력의 확보 등 다른 문제를 낳게된다. 본 연구에서는 현장타설 CFT기둥의 단점과 공장생산 CFT기둥의 단점을 보완하기 위하여 새로운 형태인 중공 CFT 구조를 제안하고 중심축하중 하의 이력특성에 대한 기본적인 연구를 수행하였다. 이를 위하여 설정된 주된 실험변수는 CFT기둥의 충전율과 충전재의 강도이며, 특히 충전율은 0%, 30%, 50%, 80%, 100%를 설정하였다. 얻어진 결과는 기본적으로 항복강도레벨에 이르기까지 선형적인 거동을 나타내고 있으며, 내부 충전율이 증가함에 따라 강도, 강성 및 변형능력이 크게 나타나고 있다.
