In recent times, there has been a growing need to retrofit and strengthen reinforced concrete (RC) structures that have been damaged. Numerous studies have explored various methods for strengthening RC beams. However, there is a significant dearth of research investigating the utilization of ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) for retrofitting damaged RC beams within a concrete frame. This study aims to develop a finite element (FE) model capable of accurately simulating the nonlinear behavior of RC beams and subsequently implementing it in an RC concrete frame. The RC frame is subjected to loading until failure at two distinct degrees, followed by retrofitting and strengthening using Ultra high performance shotcrete (UHPS) through two different methods. The results indicate the successful simulation of the load-displacement curve and crack patterns by the FE model, aligning well with experimental observations. Novel techniques for reinforcing deteriorated concrete frame structures through ABAQUS are introduced. The second strengthening method notably improves both the load-carrying capacity and initial stiffness of the load-displacement curve. By incorporating embedded rebars in the frame's columns, the beam's load-carrying capacity is enhanced by up to 31% compared to cases without embedding. These findings indicate the potential for improving the design of strengthening methods for damaged RC beams and utilizing the FE model to predict the strengthening capacity of UHPS for damaged concrete structures.

절토사면 중 단일사면이 연장 200m, 높이 50m 이상일 경우 시설물 안전에 관한 특별법에 의거 2종 시설물로 지정되며 근래에 들어 광폭도로의 신설이 증가되어 2종 시설물에 속하는 절토사면의 개소수 또한 증가되는 상황이다. 대규모 절토사면의 경우 시공부터 유지관리까지 소규모에 비해 비교적 잘 이루어지는 상황이며, 보수 보강 공법 또한 잘 적용되어져 있다. 하지만 절취 면적이 넓고 대부분 식생 및 표면보호 등으로 인해 사면 내 육안조사가 용이하지 않다. 본 연구에서는 대규모 절토사면의 상태평가시 효율적인 평가 방안 및 평가결과에 따른 유지관리 방안을 논의하고자 한다.

박리, 박락 및 들뜸현상과 같은 결함으로 노후화된 숏크리트 자체가 통행차량이나 시설물에 위험요소로 존재함으로써 이에 대한 피해예방이 요구되는 실정이다. 그러나 급격한 경사와 고소작업 등으로 인해 접근이 곤란하며, 외관상으로는 숏크리트 내부 상황 파악이 힘들다는 한계가 지적되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 기술적 한계를 극복하고자 적외선 열화상을 이용하여 숏크리트면의 미소한 열이동을 측정해 표면에서 관찰할 수 없는 내부의 결함을 조사하고자 하였다. 현장조사, 측정자료 분석과 내시경 카메라를 이용한 현장조사 작업을 통해 검증을 실시한 결과 숏크리트의 과도한 피복으로 인해 습윤부의 정확한 판정은 불가하였으나 내부의 공동부위를 비파괴 비접촉 방식에 의해 효과적으로 추출할 수 있었다.

Nowadays, shotcrete plays an essential part in he construction of underground structures, and steel fiber is so useful for increasing the toughness of the concrete that is spotlighted at tunnel or pavement site. A variety of tests have been developed to measure and quantity the improvements achievable in steel fiber reinforced concrete(SFRC) and shotcrete. But Korea doesn`t have specific standards in this respect, and the only criteria that KHC(Korea Highway Corporation) applies to tunnel shotcreting are flexural strength and toughness quotient. Test results in order to manage the quality of steel fiber reinforced concrete and shocrete are very affected by various test method. Therefore, this study deals with the test methodological effects on SFRC quality. The major interests are loading method, that is, load control and displacement control, loading velocity, support condition.

Fast infrastructure development boosts the demand for shotcrete. Despite sand and stone being the most common coarse and fine aggregates for shotcrete, excessive exploration of these materials challenges the ecological environment. This study utilized an industrial solid waste, high-titanium heavy slag, blended with steel fibers to form Wet Shotcrete of Steel Fiber-reinforced High-Titanium Heavy Slag (WSSFHTHS). It investigated its workability, shotcrete performance and mechanical properties under different water-to-cement ratios, fly ash content, superplasticizer dosage, and steel fiber content. The tunnel excavation and support were investigated by conducting finite element numerical simulation analysis and was used in 3 tunnel lining pipes in Zhonggouwan tailing pond. The major findings are as follows: (1) The water-to-cement ratio (w/c ratio) significantly impacted the compressive strength of WSSFHTHS. The highest 28-day compressive strength of 60 MPa was achieved when the w/c ratio was 0.38; (2) Adding fly ash improved the workability and shotcrete performance and strength development of WSSFHTHS. The best anti-permeability performance was achieved when the fly ash constituted 15%, with the lowest permeability coefficient of 4.596 × 10-11 cm/s; (3) The optimum superplasticizer dosage for WSSFHTHS is 0.8%. It provided the best workability and shotcrete performance. Excessive dosage resulted in water bleeding and poor aggregate encapsulation, while insufficient dosage decreased flowability and adversely affected shotcrete performance; (4) The dosage of steel fibers significantly impacted the flexural and tensile strength of WSSFHTHS. When the steel fiber dosage was 45 kg/m³, the 28-day flexural and tensile strengths were 8.95 MPa and 6.15 MPa, respectively; (5) By integrating existing shotcrete techniques, the optimal lining thickness was 80 mm for WSSFHTHS per simulation. The results revealed that after using WSSFHTHS, the displacement of the tunnel surrounding the rock significantly improved, with no cracks or hollows, similar to the simulation results.

Key aspects of the Norwegian Method of Tunnelling (NMT) are reviewed. These include a predictive method of support design using the six-parameter Q-system of rock mass characterisation. The rock mass rating or Q-value is updated during tunnel driving. The designed tunnel support generally consists of wet process, steel fibre reinforced shotcrete combined with fully grouted, untensioned rock bolts, Even in poor rock conditions S(fr) + B usually acts as the final rock reinforcement and tunnel lining. Since it is a drained lining, it is very economic compared to cast concrete with membranes. Light, free-standing steel liners are used to prevent water affecting the runnel environment. Rock mass conditions, and hence lining design and cost estimation can be assessed by careful use of seismic surveys. Relationships between the P-wave velocity, the rock mass deformation modulus and the Q-value have recently been established, where tunnel depth, rock porosity and the uniaxial compression strength of the rock are important variables. The rock mass modulus estimate, and simple index testing of the joints, provide the key input which joints are discretely represented (either in two dimensions with the UDEC code or in three dimensions with the 3DEC code) is generally favoured compared to continuum analysis. The latter may give a misleading impression of uniformity and deformations tend to be understimated. Q-system NMT designs of S(fr) + B (fibre reinforced shotcrete and bolting) are numerically checked and adjustments made to bolt capacities and shotcrete thickness if overloading is evident around the modelled profile.

최근 NATM 터널 현장타설 콘크리트 라이닝의 시공성 향상과 균열에 따른 유지관리비 절감을 위해 양질 암반의 배수형 터널 시공에 있어서는 숏크리트만으로 라이닝을 대체하려는 영구지보 개념의 터널시공 (Single-Shell Tunnel, NMT 등)이 세계적으로 증가하고 있는 추세이다. 이러한 영구지보 개념의 터널 시공을 위해서는 고성능 숏크리트의 개발이 선결되어야 하며, 이러한 목적에서 본 논문에서는 조강시멘트와 최근 주목받고 있는 환경친화적인 alkali-free 급결제의 조합을 통해 고성능 숏크리트의 개발 가능성을 확인하였다. 그 결과, 보통시멘트(OPC)를 사용한 숏크리트보다 약 25%의 높은 초기강도를 확보하였으며, 용수부에서도 뛰어난 부착특성을 확인할 수 있었다.

Addition of steel fiber to shotcrete is to improve the brittleness of concrete. Quality of steel fiber reinforced shotcrete can be evaluated by quantitive analysis of toughness characteristics after cracking. The toughness characteristics can be expressed by absolute value of energy absorption capacity, non-dimensional toughness index related to the energy absorption capacity, and equivalent flexural strength at arbitrary deflection. In this study, merits and demerits of flexural toughness by RTA round panel of Australia and other specifications have been analyzed.

In this study, an experiment in the field was performed to analyze the variations of rebound ratios of SFRS with silica fume after fabricating the panels and placing the plain concrete of simulting a base rock with thickness 7cm. And the experimental parameters which are the reinforcing methods(steel fiber, wire mesh), steel fiber contents(0.0%, 0.5%, 0.75%, 1.0%), silica fume contents(0.0%, 10.0%), and the three parts(lower, middle, upper part) were chosen. According to the results of the lower part in this test, the larger the fiber contents are in case of steel fiber reinforced shotcrete, the less the rebound ratios are within the range of 20~35%, compared to the wire-mesh reinforced shotcrete with silica fume content of 10%, and these results are true of the middle and upper part, respectively. In addition, the four-stage phenomena of the rebound of SFRS were estimated on the base of a series of the test results.
