High Performance Fiber Reinforced Cementitious Composites which are called HPFRCC, include cement matrices with strain hardening response under tension loading. In these composites, the cement mortar with fine aggregates, is reinforced by continuous or random distributed fibers and could be used for various applications including structural fuses and retrofitting of reinforced concrete members etc. In this paper, mechanical properties of HPFRCC materials are reviewed briefly. Moreover, a reinforced concrete beam (experimentally tested by Maalej et al.) is chosen and in different specimens, lower or upper or both parts of that beam are replaced with HPFRCC layers. After modeling of specimens in ABAQUS and calibration of those, mechanical properties of these specimens are investigated with different thicknesses, tensile strengths, tensile strains and compressive bars. Analytical results which are obtained by nonlinear finite analyses show that using HPFRCC layers with different parameters, increase loading capacity and ultimate displacement of these beams compare to RC specimens.

In evaluating explosion-protection capacity, safety distance is broadly accepted as the distance at which detonation of a given explosive causes acceptable structural damage. Safety distance can be calculated based on structural response under blast loading and damage criteria. For the applicability of the safety distance, the minimum required stand-off distance should be given when the explosive size is assumed. However, because of the nature of structures, structural details and material characteristics differ, which requires sensitivity analysis of the safety distance. This study examines the safety-distance sensitivity from structural and material property variations. For the safety-distance calculation, a blast analysis module based on the Kingery and Bulmash formula, a structural response module based on a Single Degree of Freedom model, and damage criteria based on a support rotation angle were prepared. Sensitivity analysis was conducted for the Reinforced Concrete one-way slab with different thicknesses, reinforcement ratios, reinforcement yield strengths, and concrete compressive strengths. It was shown that slab thickness has the most significant influence on both inertial force and flexure resistance, but the compressive strength of the concrete is not relevant.

Permeable polymer concrete can be applied to roads, sidewalks, river embankments, drain pipes, conduits, retaining walls, yards, parking lots, plazas, interlocking blocks, etc. This study was to explore a possibility of using blast furnace slag powder and stone dust of industrial by-products as fillers for Eco-permeable polymer concrete. Different mix proportions were tried to find an optimum mix proportion of the Eco­permeable polymer concrete. The tests were carried out at $20{\pm}1^{circ}C$ and $60{\pm}2\%$ relative humidity. At 7 days of curing, unit weight, coefficient of permeability, dynamic modulus of elasticity, compressive, flexural and splitting tensile strengths ranged between $1,821{\~}1,955 kg/m^{3}$, $0.056{\~}0.081\;cm/s$, $114{\times}0^{2}{\~}157{\times}10^{2}\;MPa,\;17.6{\~}24.7\;MPa,\;5.98{\~}7.94\;MPa\;and\;3.43{\~}4.70\;MPa$, respectively. It was concluded that the blast furnace slag powder and stone dust can be used in the Eco-permeable polymer concrete.

콘크리트 타설현장의 조건은 콘크리트 강도에 커다란 영향을 주며, 따라서 콘크리트 배합은 콘크리트 타설시 현장조건을 반영할 수 있도록 설계되어야 한다. 즉, 콘크리트 배합은 현장양생온도, 작업환경, 타설방법 등을 고려하여 최적화하는 노력이 필요하다. 본 연구목적은 현장 콘크리트 타설시 발생하는 양생온도와 작업지연 등 외부영향인자를 고려하여 가장 대응을 잘 할 수 있는 콘크리트 배합설계를 제공하는 것이다. 연구목적을 달성하기 위해서 본 연구에서는 로버스트 설계방법을 콘크리트 배합설계에 적용했다. 사례분석에서는 양생온도와 작업지연 등 외부영향요인과 함께 콘크리트 성분의 조합을 적용하여 콘크리트 실내 테스트를 실시했다. 실험결과 로버스트 설계방법을 적용할 경우 외부영향요인이 주어 졌을 때 가장 효과적으로 대응을 할 수 있는 콘크리트 배합설계를 선정할 수 있다는 것을 알 수 있었다.

Strength provisions in Korea Concrete Institute code are more conservative that those in ACI code by increasing load factors and decreasing capacity reduction factors. Cement content of mix design in construction field is usually higher than the modified for standard deviation because of rigorous inspection. Higher cement content increases not only strengths but also heat of hydration, shrinkage and brittleness which are not beneficial. To reduce and optimize the cement content in current mix design of Korean Highway Corporation, properties of fresh and hardened concrete for 16 different mix proportions have been investigated. It is found that the chemical admixture and cement of current mix proportions for highway construction are somewhat higher than the optimum amount. Therefore, the optimum mix design for 16 different purposes has been proposed.

Presented are the results of recent tests on diagonal shear failure of reinforced concrete beams which are externally reinforced in the transverse direction by a unidirectional carbon fiber reinforced polymer, instead of the traditional steel stirrups. Three different series of the beams with different shear reinforcements, i.e. U-wrapping with carbon sheet, U-wrapping with carbon strips and full wrapping with carbon strips were tested. Those beams were geometrically similar, and the size range is 1:1.9:4. The failure of the beams are characterized by delamination, crushing of concrete and distributed shear cracks. It is found that the size effect is much weaker than that of the reference beams without CFRP. Therefore CFRP sheet may be used as the transverse reinforcement with a minor size effect. However, it is not clear that the same conclusion can be drawn in other sizes. Further researches are recommended.

This paper persents the assessment of the minimum shear reinforcement requirements in normal, medium and high-strength reinforced concrete beams. Twelve shear tests were conducted on full-scale beam specimens having design concrete compressive strengths of 35, 70 and 100 MPa. Different amounts of minimum shear reinfrocement were investigated, including the amounts required by Korean Concrete Standard (KCI88), JCI86, ACI89 (revised 1992) and CSA94 standard. The performance of the different amounts of shear reinforcement are discussed in terms of the shear capacity, the ductility and the crack control at service load levels. An assessment of code provisions for minimum shear reinforcememt, and the prediction and comparison of the ultimate shear capacity are also presented.

Self-consolidating concrete (SCC) is a stable and cohesive high consistency concrete mix with enhanced filling ability properties that reduce the need for mechanical compaction. Limited standards and specifications have been reported in the literature on the structural behavior of reinforced self-compacting concrete elements. The significance of the research presented in this paper stems from the need to investigate the effect of enhanced fluidity of SCC on the structural behavior of high strength self-consolidating reinforced concrete beams. To meet the objectives of this research, twelve reinforced concrete beams were prepared with two different generations of superplasticizers and designed to exhibit flexure, shear, or bond splitting failure. The compared beams were identical except for the type of superplasticizer being used (second generation sulphonated-based superplasticizer or third generation polycarboxylate-based superplasticizer). The outcomes of the experimental work revealed comparable resistance of beam specimens made with self-compacting (SCC) and conventional vibrated concrete (VC). The dissimilarities in the experimental values between the SCC and the control VC beams were not major, leading to the conclusion that the high flowability of SCC has little effect on the flexural, shear and bond strengths of concrete members.

High-early-strength-concrete (HESC) made of Type III cement reaches approximately 50-70 % of its design compressive strength in a day in ambient conditions. Experimental investigations were made in this study to observe the effects of temperature, curing time and concrete strength on the accelerated development of compressive strength in HESC. A total of 210 HESC cylinders of $100{\times}200mm$ were tested for different compressive strengths (30, 40 and 50 MPa) and different curing regimes (with maximum temperatures of 20, 30, 40, 50 and $60^{\circ}C$) at different equivalent ages (9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 100 and 168 h) From a series of regression analyses, a generalized rate-constant model was presented for the prediction of the compressive strength of HESC at an early age for its future application in precast prestressed units with savings in steam supply. The average and standard deviation of the ratios of the predictions to the test results were 0.97 and 0.22, respectively.
