This paper presents a comparative study on the double-K fracture parameters of concrete obtained using four existing analytical methods such as Gauss-Chebyshev integral method, simplified Green's function method, weight function method and simplified equivalent cohesive force method. Two specimen geometries: three point bend test and compact tension specimen for sizes 100-500 mm at initial notch length to depth ratios 0.25 and 0.4 are used for the comparative study. The required input parameters for determining the double-K fracture parameters are derived from the developed fictitious crack model. It is found that the cohesive toughness and initial cracking toughness determined using weight function method and simplified equivalent cohesive force method agree well with those obtained using Gauss-Chebyshev integral method whereas these fracture parameters determined using simplified Green's function method deviates more than by 11% and 20% respectively as compared with those obtained using Gauss-Chebyshev integral method. It is also shown that all the fracture parameters related with double-K model are size dependent.

The value of the mode I interlamina fracture toughness, GIC, is calculated by experimental compliance method, modified compliance method and beam theory. The value of the mode II interlamina fracture toughness, GIC, is evaluated by beam method, theory beam theory and compliance method. This paper describes the effect of load pint displacement rate and speicimen geometries for mode I and II interlaminar fracture toughness of glass fiber reinforced plastic composites by using double cantilever beam (DCB) and end notched flexure (ENF) specimen. For the load point displacement rate of increases whereas the value of 2,6 and 10 mm/min the value of GIC decrease as load point displacement rate increases whereas the value of GIC is found to be no significant effect. The value of GIC decreases as initial crack length increases. The fractured surface of the DCB and ENF samples are examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM).

R-curve based on the size effect law previously developed for geometrically similar specimens (geometry type III) is extended to geometries with variable depth (geometry type I) as well as with variable notch (geometry type II), where the R-curve is defined as the envelope of the family of critical strain energy release rates from specimens of different sizes. The results show that the extended R-curve for type I tends to be the same for different specimen configurations, while it is greatly dependent on specimen geometry in terms of the initial crack length. Furthermore, the predicted load-deflection responses from the suggested R-curve are found to agree well with the testing results on concrete and rock materials. Besides, maximum loads for type II specimen are predicted well from the extended R-curve.

이 연구에서는 노치 도입 인장시편을 사용하여 직접인장강도 실험을 통해 UHPC의 파괴거동을 살펴보고, 강섬유 혼입률에 따른 UHPC의 초기균열강도와 인장강도를 제안하였다. 실험결과 UHPC와 초기균열강도와 인장강도, 그리고 파괴에너지 등은 강섬유 혼입률이 증가할수록 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 균열선단에서의 응집응력은 Barenblatt의 가정을 사용하여 결정되었으며, 이를 토대로 변형경화 현상이 발생하는 강섬유 혼입률이 1% 이상인 UHPC의 최대응집응력을 예측할 수 있는 간편식을 제안하였다. 인장강도는 강섬유 혼입률과 압축강도의 함수로 제안되었으며, 파괴에너지는 인장강도의 함수로 제안되었다. 제안된 간편식들은 실험값과 비교적 잘 일치하였으며, 향후 압축강도가 140~170 MPa이고, 강섬유 혼입률이 2% 이하인 UHPC에 적용가능 할 것으로 판단된다.

본 연구에서는 노후 콘크리트 포장의 효율적 유지보수를 위하여 국내 최초 적용된 연속철근 콘크리트 개념의 얇은 덧씌우기 공법(CRCO : Thin Bonded Continuously Reinforced Concrete Overlay)의 거동 특성을 살펴보았다. 서해안 고속도로의 폐도 구간에 CRCO 공법과 JCO 공법(Jointed Concrete Overlay)을 시험시공 하였으며, CRCO 공법에 삽입된 종방향 철근으로 효과를 검토하였다. 시험시공 후 균열 조사 결과, CRCO 구간의 기존 줄눈부에서부터 반사 균열이 발생하였으나 그 폭은 매우 좁았다. 철근의 구속역할로 인해 CRCO 공법에서 더 많은 균열이 발생하였으며, 그 간격은 CRCP 보다 더 좁았다. 부착강도 측정 결과, 표면 처리로 Cold Milling 후 이물질을 제거하여 초기에 층간 부착 문제가 발생하지 않았다. 기존 JCP의 줄눈부에 수평으로 매설한 계측기 데이터분석 결과, 초기 균열 터짐 시 일정 폭 이상으로 벌어지지 못하게 종방향 철근이 잡아주는 역할을 하였으며, 온도변화에 대한 수평 변위 발생 억제 효과도 있었다. 하지만 층간 부착 문제가 발생할 경우, 철근의 구속 효과는 저감되었다. 수직 계측기의 데이터를 통해서 철근이 없는 JCO 공법에 비해 CRCO 공법은 종방향 철근 위치에서 층간 부착 문제가 발생하지 않았으며, 현장 코어링 작업을 통해 이를 확인하였다. 슬래브 내의 수평 거동을 분석한 결과, 초기에 철근의 구속으로 인해 CRCO 공법에서는 인장 변형률이, 구속이 미미한 JCO 공법은 압축력이 발생하였다. FWD 데이터 분석 결과, CRCO 공법의 처짐량이 JCO 보다 더 적게 발생하였으며, 지지력 평가에서는 전반적으로 덧씌우기 후가 더 크게 나타났으며, 특히 CRCO 공법이 JCO 공법에 비해 지지력에 대한 덧씌우기 두께 효과가 더 컸다.

This paper investigated the effects of rebar corrosion on bond performance between rebar and two different concrete mixes (compressive strengths of 20.7 MPa and 44.4 MPa). The specimen was designed as a rebar centrally embedded in a 200 mm concrete cube, with two stirrups around the rebar to supply confinement. An electrochemical accelerated corrosion technique was applied to corrode the rebar. 120 specimens of two different concrete mixes with various reinforcing steel corrosion levels were manufactured. The corrosion crack opening width and length were recorded in detail during and after the corrosion process. Three different loading schemes: monotonic pull-out load, 10 cycles of constant slip loading followed by pull-out and varied slip loading followed by pull-out, were carried out on the specimens. The effects of rebar corrosion with two different concrete mixes on corrosion crack opening, bond strength and corresponding slip value, initial slope of bond-slip curve, residual bond stress, mechanical interaction stress, and energy dissipation, were discussed in detail. The mean value and coefficient of variation of these parameters were also derived. It was found that the coefficient of variation of the parameters of the corroded specimens was larger than those with intact rebar. There is also obvious difference in the two different concrete mixes for the effects of rebar corrosion on bond-slip parameters.

This is an experimental study on the engineering characteristics of perforated reinforced concrete beams with shells. In the material matter of this study, the water cement ratio put 60%, the ratio of substitution of oyster shells to fine aggregate 30%. And in the structural matter, the form of opening put circle and square, the size of opening as the radius and the length of it changed from one to three times of the beam depth with a change presence and absence of reinforced steel around opening. All thirteen reinforced concrete beam tests composed one standard beam and twelve six beams with the circle and square opening were tested in shear strength under two points loading and compared and analyzed the characteristics of test beams under the same conditions one another. The results of the study showed as followed. 1) The initial crack load value of the opening test beams is similar the standard beam but the maximum load value decreased with increase in proportion of the opening size, in the square opening than the circle opening and in the absence than the presence of reinforced steel. 2) As the difference between the circle opening and the square opening beams is represented 2.17~9.8% in the maximum load value and the load capacity of the square opening suddenly decrease than it of the circle opening, it is judged because of the shortage of concrete section, the concentration of the stress in the corner of the square opening and material influence of shell substitution. 3) The failure figure such as the pattern of the crack and so on is represented brittle failure as the opening size is the bigger and the ratio of substitution is higher because of the lack material properties.

Measuring the fracture toughness of concrete in laboratory settings is challenging due to various factors, such as complex sample preparation procedures, the requirement for precise instruments, potential sample failure, and the brittleness of the samples. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop innovative and more effective tools to overcome these limitations. Supervised learning methods offer promising solutions. This study introduces seven machine learning algorithms for predicting concrete's effective fracture toughness (K-eff). The models were trained using 560 datasets obtained from the central straight notched Brazilian disc (CSNBD) test. The concrete samples used in the experiments contained micro silica and powdered stone, which are commonly used additives in the construction industry. The study considered six input parameters that affect concrete's K-eff, including concrete type, sample diameter, sample thickness, crack length, force, and angle of initial crack. All the algorithms demonstrated high accuracy on both the training and testing datasets, with R² values ranging from 0.9456 to 0.9999 and root mean squared error (RMSE) values ranging from 0.000004 to 0.009287. After evaluating their performance, the gated recurrent unit (GRU) algorithm showed the highest predictive accuracy. The ranking of the applied models, from highest to lowest performance in predicting the K-eff of concrete, was as follows: GRU, LSTM, RNN, SFL, ELM, LSSVM, and GEP. In conclusion, it is recommended to use supervised learning models, specifically GRU, for precise estimation of concrete's K-eff. This approach allows engineers to save significant time and costs associated with the CSNBD test. This research contributes to the field by introducing a reliable tool for accurately predicting the K-eff of concrete, enabling efficient decision-making in various engineering applications.

Direct tensile tests were carried out for the tensile members of MMA-modified polymer concrete with different steel kinds and steel diameters and steel ratios to figure out the effect of tensile strength of polymer concrete. In the experiments, MMA-modified polymer concrete with $1000\;kgf/cm^2$ of compressive strength, steel with $5200\;kgf/cm^2$ of tensile strength, and the tensile members with 100 cm of constant length were used. Experimental results showed that, regardless of steel kinds, diameters and steel content, the strain energy exerted by concrete till the initial crack was $14-15\%$ of the total energy till the point of yield: The energy was much larger than the one of high-strength cement concrete. The behaviors of tensile members of MMA-modified polymer concrete were in relatively good agreement with the model suggested by Gupta-Maestrini (1990), which was idealized by the effective tensile stress-strain relationship of concrete and the load-strain relationship of members, while those showed a big difference from CEB-FIP model and ACI-224 equation suggested for the load-displacement relationship that was defined as the cross sectional stiffness of effective axis. Modified ACI-224 model code about the load-displacement relationship for the tensile members of MMA-modified polymer concrete and theoretical equation for the polymer concrete tensile stiffness of polymer concrete suggested through the results of this study are expected to be used in an accurate structural analysis and resign for the polymer concrete structural members.
