In this study, limestone powder (LS) and fly ash (FA) were used as powder materials in self-compacting concrete (SCC) in increasing quantities in addition to cement, so that the two powders commonly used in the production of SCC could be compared in the same study. Considering the reduction of the maximum aggregate size in SCC, 10 mm or 16 mm was selected as the coarse aggregate size. The properties of fresh concrete were determined by slump flow (including T₅₀₀ time), V-funnel and J-ring experiments. The experimental results showed that as the amount of both LS and FA increased, the slump flow also increased. The increase in powder material had a negative effect on V-funnel flow times, causing it to increase; however, the increase in FA concretes was smaller compared to LS ones. The increase in the powder content reduced the amount of blockage in the J-ring test for both aggregate sizes. As the hardened concrete properties, the compressive and splitting strengths as well as the modulus of elasticity were determined. Longitudinal and transverse deformations were measured by attaching a special frame to the cylindrical specimens and the values of Poisson's ratio, initiation and critical stresses were obtained. Despite having a similar W/C ratio, all SCC exhibited higher compressive strength than NVC. Compressive strength increased with increasing powder content for both LS and FA; however, the increase of the FA was higher than the LS due to the pozzolanic effect. SCC with a coarse aggregate size of 16 mm showed higher strength than 10 mm for both powders. Similarly, the modulus of elasticity increased with the amount of powder material. Inelastic properties, which are rarely found in the literature for SCC, were determined by measuring the initial and critical stresses. Crack formation in SCC begins under lower stresses (corresponding to lower initial stresses) than in normal concretes, while critical stresses indicate a more brittle behavior by taking higher values.

건설 구조물에서의 고강도 콘크리트 사용은 꾸준히 증가하고 있다. 그러나 고강도 콘크리트는 상대적으로 낮은 물-바인더비를 가지고 있어 초기 재령에서 수화과정에 발생하는 수화열 및 수축 등으로 인해 균열 등과 같은 문제점이 발생으로 인해 그 대책이 시급한 실정이다. 최근에 수축을 저감할 수 있는 방법으로 내부양생에 대한 관심이 대두되고 있으며 연구가 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 고강도 및 하이볼륨 모르타르에 대해 인공경량골재(LWA)를 이용하여 내부양생 효과를 검증하고 여러 현장조건을 고려하여 양생조건(기중, 습윤, 수중)에 따른 압축강도 영향에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 자기수축 실험을 통해 고강도 및 플라이애시를 혼입한 하이볼륨 모르타르에서 인공경량골재 혼입률이 증가할수록 수축저감 효과가 커지는 것을 확인하였다. 양생조건에 따라 압축강도 영향은 조금씩 다른 경향을 보이고 있으며, 기중 및 습윤 조건에서는 일반적으로 강도를 증가시키고 수중조건에서는 감소하는 것으로 나타났다.

구형의 아토마이징 제강 환원슬래그(래들로 슬래그)를 폴리머 콘크리트 복합재료의 잔골재 대신 사용하기 위하여 아토마이징 제강 환원슬래그의 대체율과 폴리머 결합재의 첨가율을 다양하게 변화시켜 공시체를 제작하였다. 공시체의제 물성을 조사하기 위하여 흡수시험, 압축 및 휨강도, 내열수성시험, 세공분포측정 및 SEM에 의한 미세조직 관찰을 실시하였다. 그 결과 폴리머 결합재 7.5% 첨가한 공시체는 제강 환원슬래그의 대체율이 증가됨에 따라 압축 및 휨강도가 증가되었으나 폴리머 결합재 8.0% 이상에서는 유동성의 증가로 인한 재료분리 현상으로 특정한 대체율에서 최대값을 나타내었다. 내열수성시험에 의하여 압축강도, 휨강도, 세공의 평균직경 및 밀도는 감소되었으나 총세공량과 공극률은 증가되었다. 아토마이징 제강 환원슬래그를 잔골재 대신 사용함으로써 유동성이 현저히 증가되어 폴리머 결합재의 사용량을 최대 23.5%까지 절감할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 아토마이징 제강 환원슬래그를 사용함으로써 내열수성이 감소되기 때문에 더 많은 연구가 요구된다.

Design strength of structural members could be determined by applying a strength reduction factor to nominal strength. At the beginning point of the transition region for the strength reduction factor, P=0.1$\sigma$$_{ck}A_g$, only sectional area and concrete strength are adopted as the variables of P=0.1$\sigma$$_{ck}A_g$. Therefore, P=0.1$\sigma$$_{ck}A_g$ is the empirically adopted which does not consider steel ratio, steel yielding stress, and steel arrangement. So, this research was perpormed the computer program for the analysis of axial force-moment-curvature relationship of reinforced concrete columns by sectional behaviour nonlinear analysis using a concrete compressive stress-strain curve, in order to investigate the ductility of reinforced concrete columns. As a result, ductility indicies of axial force, P=0.1$\sigma$$_{ck}A_g$, represented the lack of consistency of the indicies value for the various sections.

The objective of this paper is to develop a finite element procedure for predicting the compressive strength and ultimate axial strain of Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastics (CFRP) confined circular concrete columns and to study the effective parameters of confinement efficiency for helping design of CFRP retrofit technology. The behavior of concrete confined with CFRP is studied using the nonlinear finite element method. In this paper, effects of column size, CFRP volumetric ratio and plain concrete strength are studied. The confined concrete nonlinear constitutive relation, concrete failure criterion and stiffness reduction methodology after concrete cracking or crushing are adopted. First, the finite element model is verified by comparing the numerical solutions of confined concrete with experimental results. Then the effects of column size, CFRP volumetric ratio and plain concrete strength on the peak strength and ductility of the confined concrete are considered. The results of parametric study indicate that the normalized column axial strength increases with increasing CFRP volumetric ratio, but without size effect for columns with the same CFRP volumetric ratio. As the same, the increase in column ductility depends on CFRP volumetric ratio but without size effect for columns with the same CFRP volumetric ratio.

굴과 꼬막과 같은 패각의 일부는 채묘종과 비료 등으로 재활용 되기도 하나, 대부분 인근 해안에 적치 되거나 불법 매립되고 있는 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 패각의 기초물성을 측정하고 패각을 시멘트 모르터에 혼입할 수 있는 가능성을 평가하고자 하였다. 그 결과 패각을 25% 혼입한 시멘트 모르터의 경우 흡수율과 압축강도가 Plain과 유사하게 측정되었다. 반면 굴패각을 25% 혼입한 경우 Plain에 비해 압축강도가 35% 저하되었으며, 흡수율은 2배로 증가하였다. 따라서 굴을 제외한 나머지 패각을 25% 범위 내에서 시멘트 모르터에 혼입하여 사용하는 것은 가능할 것으로 사료된다. 하지만 굴의 경우 다양한 혼입율을 적용한 추가 실험이 요구될 것으로 판단된다.

The application of the compressive force path method for the design of earthquake-resistant reinforced concrete structural walls with a shear span-to-depth ratio larger than 2.5 has been shown by experiment to lead to a significant reduction of the code specified transverse reinforcement within the critical lengths without compromising the code requirements for structural performance. The present work complements these findings with experimental results obtained from tests on structural walls with a shear span-to-depth ratio smaller than 2.5. The results show that the compressive force path method is capable of safeguarding the code performance requirements without the need of transverse reinforcement confining concrete within the critical lengths. Moreover, it is shown that ductility can be considerably increased by improving the strength of the two bottom edges of the walls through the use of structural steel elements extending to a small distance of the order of 100 mm from the wall base.

The results of an experimental investigation on the characteristics of compaction and compressive strength of polypropylene fiber reinforced soil are presented in this paper. This study has been performed to obtain the physical properties of PFRS(polypropylene fiber reinforced soil) such as strain-stress relationships, OMC(optimum moisture contents) and ${\gamma}$dmax (maximum dry unit weight), with four different contents (i.e., 0.1%, 0.3%, 0.5% and 1.0% weights ) of mono-filament and fibrillated polypropylene fibers. From the compaction test results, it is found that OMC increased with the contents ratio of fiber, but ${\gamma}$dmax decreased. It means that the improvement of the workability and the reduction of the weight of embankment structures by the asddtion of the polypropylene fiber. And, from the compression test results, it is found that the additon of the polypropylene fiber remarkably improved the compressive strength of PFRS. And it was observed in the viewpoint of strength that the fibrillated polypropylene fiber reinforced soil is more effective than the mono-filament polypropylene fiber reinforced soil.

In the recent years, the use of agricultural waste in green cement mortar and concrete production has attracted considerable attention because of potential saving in the large areas of landfills and potential enhancement on the performance of mortar. In this research, microparticles of palm oil fuel ash (POFA) obtained from a multistage thermal and mechanical treatment processes of raw POFA originating from palm oil mill was utilized as a pozzolanic material to produce high-performance cement mortar (HPCM). POFA was used as a partial replacement material to ordinary Portland cement (OPC) at replacement levels of 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40% by volume. Sand with particle size smaller than 300 ㎛ was used to enhance the performance of the HPCM. The HPCM mixes were tested for workability, compressive strength, ultrasonic pulse velocity (UPV), porosity and absorption. The results portray that the incorporation of micro POFA in HPCMs led to a slight reduction in the compressive strength. At 40% replacement level, the compressive strength was 87.4 MPa at 28 days which is suitable for many high strength applications. Although adding POFA to the cement mixtures harmed the absorption and porosity, those properties were very low at 3.4% and 11.5% respectively at a 40% POFA replacement ratio and after 28 days of curing. The HPCM mixtures containing POFA exhibited greater increase in strength and UPV as well as greater reduction in absorption and porosity than the control OPC mortar from 7 to 28 days of curing age, as a result of the pozzolanic reaction of POFA. Micro POFA with finely graded sand resulted in a dense and high strength cement mortar due to the pozzolanic reaction and increased packing effect. Therefore, it is demonstrated that the POFA could be used with high replacement ratios as a pozzolanic material to produce HPCM.

This study is to investigate the probability to develop the AE Water-reducing agent which can decrease the bleeding by mixing melamine type super-plasticizer(SP) and methyl cellulose(MC) viscosity agent. According to the result, as the mixing ratio of melamine type SP and MC viscosity agent increases, the bleeding is reduced due to a increase of the air content. When the mixing ratio of melamine type SP and MC viscosity agent is 1:2 and 1;3 at the water content of 165kg/$m^3$ and 175kg/$m^3$ respectively, slump and air content are satisfied and bleeding is reduced to some extent, so this is determined as the mixing ratio of AE water reducing agent for reduction of bleeding. It is prove that the developed AE water reducing agent for reduction of bleeding can reduce the amount of bleeding and prohibit the plastic shrinkage crack by slowing down the bleeding speed. Compressive strength of hardened concrete does not make any difference in comparison with plain concrete.
