Recently, many researches have been done to examine the behavior of fiber reinforced concrete (FRC) subjected to the static loading. However, a few studies have been devoted to cyclic behaviors of FRC. A main objective of this paper is to investigate the cyclic behavior of FRC through theoretical method. A new cyclic bridging model was proposed for the analysis of fiber reinforced cementitious composites under cyclic loading. In the model, non-uniform degradation of interfacial bonding under cyclic tension was considered. Fatigue test results for FRC were numerically simulated using proposed models and the proposed model is achieving better agreement than the previous model. Consequently, the model can establish a basis for analyzing cyclic behavior of fiber reinforced composites.

This paper presents a prediction and simulation method of tensile stress-strain curves of Engineered Cementitious Composites (ECC). For this purpose, the bridging stress and crack opening relations were obtained by the fiber bridging constitutive law which is quantitatively able to consider the fiber distribution characteristics. And then, a multi-linear model is employed for a simplification of the bridging stress and crack opening relation. In addition, to account the variability of material properties, randomly distributed properties drawn from a normal distribution with 95% confidence are assigned to each element which is determined on the basis of crack spacing. To consider the variation of crack spacing, randomly distributed crack spacing is drawn from the probability density function of fiber inclined angle calculated based on sectional image analysis. An equation for calculation of the crack spacing that takes into quantitative consideration the dimensions and fiber distribution was also derived. Subsequently, a series of simulations of ECC tensile stress-strain curves was performed. The simulation results exhibit obvious strain hardening behavior associated with multiple cracking, which correspond well with test results.

섬유 가교 곡선은 섬유보강 시멘트 복합체의 인장 거동을 예측하고 분석하는데 중요한 요인이다. 이 연구의 목적은 ECC에서 섬유 배향각의 분포와 섬유 개수를 정량적으로 고려할 수 있는 섬유 가교 모델을 제시하는 것이다. 이를 위하여 먼저 섬유 배향각과 섬유 개수를 정량적으로 고려할 수 있는 섬유 가교 모델을 유도하였다. 섬유 배향각과 섬유 개수는 이미지 프로세싱 기법을 사용하여 계측하였다. 이미지 분석을 통하여 계측한 섬유 배향각에 대한 확률밀도함수와 섬유 개수는 섬유 배향각을 2차원이나 3차원에 무작위로 분포된 것으로 가정하는 것과 큰 차이를 보였다. 이는 타설방법이나 유동흐름에 따라 섬유 분포 특성이 영향을 받기 때문으로, 모델의 검증을 위해 정확한 섬유분포 특성을 파악할 필요가 있다. 따라서 이미지 프로세싱 방법으로 계측한 섬유 분포 특성을 근간으로 보강섬유의 배향각과 단면 내 섬유 개수를 고려하여 얻은 섬유 가교 곡선으로 1축 인장 거동을 모사하였다. 모사한 1축 인장 거동은 실험 결과와 유사하게 다중 균열과 변형률 경화 거동을 보이는 등 1축 인장 거동을 정확히 나타낼 수 있는 것으로 검증되었다.

Steel fiber reinforced concrete(SFRC) which is made by short, randomly distributed steel fibers in concrete is superior in its tensile mechanical properties to plain concrete in enhancement of tensile strength and tensile ductility. These improvements are attributed to crack arresting mechanism and formation of longer crack paths due to fibers , which as a consequence lead to increase in energy absorption capacity of SFRC. In the post-peak region under tensile stresses, major macrocrack forms at critical section. The opening of this macrocrack is mainly resisted by both of the fiber pull-out bridging the cracked surfaces and the resistance by matrix softening. In this study, micromechaincal approach has been made in order to simulate tensile behavior of SFRC and based on which the theoretical model is presented. This model reflects the features of both the composite material concept and the spacing concept in predicting tensile strength of SFRC. The model also takes into account for the effects of matrix tensile softening and fiber bridging by pull-out on the resistance for the post-peak behavior of SFRC. It has been shown that the developed model satisfactory predicts the experimental results.

지금까지 ECC의 인장거동 예측에 대한 이론적인 연구는 균열면에서 섬유가 균일하게 분산되어 있다고 가정하고 섬유 가교 곡선을 유도하는 방법으로 수행되었으며, 섬유의 기울어진 각도와 섬유사이의 간격은 섬유 가교 곡선을 예측하는데 큰 영향을 준다. 그러나 이론적으로 유도된 방법은 섬유의 기울어진 각도와 섬유 간격에 따라서 섬유가교 곡선의 형태가 달라지는 것을 모사하지 못하여 실제 섬유 가교 곡선과 차이를 보이며, ECC 인장거동을 예측할 때 큰 오차가 발생할 수 있다. 이 연구에서는 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 균열면에서 섬유 가교 작용에 기여하는 유효 섬유의 개수를 섬유의 기울어진 각도와 섬유 간격에 따라 고려한 후, 수정된 섬유 가교 곡선을 구하고, 이를 이용하여 보다 합리적인 ECC의 인장거동 예측기법을 제시하였다. 또한, 인장거동 예측에 중요한 변수인 초기 균열 강도, 섬유 가교 곡선에서의 최고 응력과 변위, 인장변형률, 균열간격을 구하기 위한 방법과 절차를 제시하였다. 그리고 예측 방법의 타당성을 평가하기 위하여 수정된 섬유 가교 곡선과 이론적인 섬유 가교 곡선으로 구한 ECC의 인장거동을 실험 결과와 비교하였다. 수정된 섬유 가교 곡선을 사용할 경우, 실험 결과와 잘 일치함을 알 수 있었으며, ECC의 인장거동을 합리적으로 예측할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

In this paper, the post cracking stress-crack width relationship of the composite is studied from a micromechanics points of view. Cook-Gordon debonding effect is studied by more refined method with considering of chemical friction of fiber interface. As a result, fiber with pre-debonding length retards stress development and shows more wide crack width for the same force level. longer pre-debonding length and lower pre-debonding bond strength results in lower full-debonding force, but same crack width.

Tunnel lining is the final support of a tunnel and reflects the results of the interaction between ground and support system. Recently it is very difficult to support and manage the tunnel because the cracks on tunnel lining cause problems in supporting and managing tunnels. Therefore the analysis of the cracks is quite strongly required. The major role played by the steel fiber occurs in the post-cracking zone, in which the fibers bridge across the cracked matrix. Because of its improved ability to bridging cracks, steel fiber reinforcement concrete(SFRC) has better crack properties than that of reinforced concrete. In this study, mechanical behaviour of a tunnel lining was examined by model tests. The model tests were carried out under various conditions taking different loading shapes, thicknesses and leakage of lining, and volume content of steel fiber. From these model test, the cracking load, the failure load, defection and cracking position and type were examined and the characteristics of deformation and failure for tunnel lining were estimated and researched.

Recently, large efforts have been made to develop and understand the behavior of Fiber Reinforced Concrete. As in the static loading cases, many researches have been done. However, a few studies have been conducted in cyclic behaviors of FRC. The main objective of the present work is to investigate the cyclic behavior of fiber reinforced concrete with theoretical method. First, cyclic constitutive relations which describe the crack bridging stress considering non-uniform interfacial bond degradation in short randomly oriented fiber reinforced matrix composites under uniaxial cyclic tension were considered. A cyclic degradation model of single fiber based on micromechanics also taken into consideration. As an example, fatigue analysis for ECC with PVA fiber was conducted using proposed equations. Results shows that proposed method can establish a basis for analyzing cyclic behavior of fiber reinforced composites.

If Fiber Reinforced Metal Laminates(FRMLs) were delaminated, the decrease of stiffness and fiber bridging effect would result in the sudden aggravation of fatigue characteristics. It was reported that the delamination of FRMLs resulted from the crack of metal layers and that it depended on the crack growth. While cracks were made in FRMLs containing a saw-cuts under fatigue loading, cracks could be produced or not in FRMLs with circular holes under the same condition. When the FRMLs with the circular holes produce not the crack but the delamination, it is not possible to analyze it by the conventional fracture parameters expressed as the function of the crack. And so, this research suggests a new analytical model of the delamination to make the comparison of the delamination behavior possible whenever the cracks occur or not. Therefore, a new analytical model called Pseudo Crack Model(PCM) was suggested to compare the delaminations whether cracks were made or not. The relationship between the crack energy consumption rate( $E_{crack}$) and the delamination energy consumption rate( $E_{del}$) was discussed and it was also known that the effect of $E_{del}$ was larger than that of $E_{crack}$.
