Shear failure of reinforced concrete (RC) beams is a major concern for structural engineers. It has been shown through various studies that the shear strength and ductility of RC beams can be improved by adding steel fibers to the concrete. An accurate model predicting the shear strength of steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) beams will help SFRC to become widely used. An artificial neural network (ANN) model consisting of an input layer, a hidden layer of six neurons and an output layer was developed to predict the shear strength of SFRC slender beams without stirrups, where the input parameters are concrete compressive strength, tensile reinforcement ratio, shear span-to-depth ratio, effective depth, volume fraction of fibers, aspect ratio of fibers and fiber bond factor, and the output is an estimate of shear strength. It is shown that the model is superior to fourteen equations proposed by various researchers in predicting the shear strength of SFRC beams considered in this study and it is verified through a parametric study that the model has a good generalization capability.

Concrete containing discontinuous discrete steel fiber in a normal concrete is called steel fiber reinforced concrete(SFRC). Tensile as well as flexural strengths of concrete could be substantially increased by introducing closely spaced fibers which delay the onset of tension cracks and increase the tension strength of cracks. However, many properties of SFRC have not been investigated, especially properties on repeated loadings. Thus, the purposes of this dissertation is to study the flexural fatigue characteristics of SFRC considering cumulative damage. A series of experimental tests such as compressive strength, splitting tensile strength, flexural strength, flexural fatigue, and two steps stress level fatigue were conducted to clarify the basic properties and fatigue-related properties of SFRC. The main experimental variables were steel fiber fraction (0, 0.4, 0.7, 1, 1.5%), aspect ratio (60, 83). The principal results obtained through this study are as follows: The results of flexural fatigue tests showed that the flexural fatigue life of SFRC is approxmately 65% of ultimate strength, while that of plain is less than 58%. Especially, the behavior of flexural fatigue life shows excellent performance at 1.0% of steel-fiber volume fraction. The cumulative damage test of high-low two stress levels is within the value of 0.6 ∼ 1.1, while that of low-high stress steps is within the value of 2.4 ∼ 4.0.

The aluminar short fiber reinforced composite materials for hot extrusion were fabricated by semi-solid stirring method, and extruded at extrusion temperature $400^{\circ}C$ with various extrusion ratio. The hot extrusion load of volume fraction 15% metal matrix composites and base alloy Al7075 has been compared. The fiber length distribution, fiber breakage and fiber orientation are investiged to know the fiber behaviour in before and after hot extrusion. The tensile strength of the hot extruded billet are experimentally determined for different of extrusion ratios, and compared with theorically calculated strength.

As composite materials, the addition of steel fiber in concrete significantly improves the engineering properties of structural members. The purpose of this study is to define the strengthening effect of steel fiber in a point of material usage. From tile material test. compression strength, tensile splitting strength and flexural strength were evaluated by steel fiber volume fraction ($V_f$) and aspect ratio (AR) of steel fiber. In case of AR 67, $V_f$ 2.0% could be achieved maximum steel fiber strengthening effect. And the AR 80 case, $V_f$ 1.0% could be achieved maximum effect than the effect of $V_f$ 1.5%.

Various characters of the concrete are greatly improved as the effect of the steel fiber. As the improvement effect of the steel fiber, the increment in flexural strength, shear strength, toughness, and impact strength are remarkable, and tenacious concrete is obtained. This paper presents model which can predict mechanical behavior of the structure according to aspect ratio and volume fraction of steel fiber. Experiments on compressive strength, elastic modulus and tensile strength were performed with self-made cylindrical specimens of variable aspect ratios. This paper presents an analytical study on the behavior of a beam specimen with steel fiber reinforced concrete(SFRC). The effect of the SFRC on the crack pattern, failure mode and the flexural behavior of the structure were investigated. The analysis model based on the nonlinear layered finite element method was successfully able to find the necessary amount of steel fibers, tensile steels and beam section which can best approximate flexural strength and ductility of a given conventionally reinforced concrete beam.

본 연구는 섬유보강 콘크리트의 실무 적용을 위한 성능 평가에 대해 재료 시험으로 낭비되던 시간과 노력을 최소화하고 적용에 있어서의 이론적인 배경을 확보하기 위해, 기존의 가이드라인 및 시험 기준에 따른 실험 결과의 수집과 통계적 분석을 통한, 콘크리트의 압축강도에 기반한 주요 특성들을 특정하기 위해 수행되었다. 섬유보강콘크리트는 다양한 변수에 영향을 받게 되므로 이론적인 접근이 어려운 측면이 있어 본 연구에서는 현재 실무에서 다방면으로 사용되고 있는 100MPa 이하의 압축강도를 가지는 콘크리트를 중심으로 0.25%에서 2% 사이의 강섬유 혼입량에 대한 압축강도와 인장강도 시험을 수행하였다. 인장강도 시험은 표준기관에서 정하고 있는 시험방법인 쪼갬인장강도와 휨인장강도에 대해 수행하였다. 섬유보강콘크리트의 재료시험 결과 쪼갬인장강도와 휨인장강도 모두 압축강도의 증가에 따라 증가하는 추세를 보였으며 강도의 증진률은 압축강도 증가와 함께 감소하는 추세를 보였다. 또한섬유의 혼입량 증가는 인장강도의 증가를 유발하는 것을 확인할 수 있었으며, 압축강도 증가에 따른 인장강도 증진률 감소를 막아 콘크리트 압축강도 증가에 선형적으로 인장강도가 증가하도록 해주는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 기존 연구들로부터 구축한 데이터베이스를 통한 섬유보강콘크리트의 기계적 성질에 대한 검토를 수행하였다. 다양한 변수에 따른 인장강도의 추정을 위해 인공신경망을 적용하였다. 인공신경망은 multi layer perceptron으로 구성하였으며 전달함수로는 sigmoid 함수를 사용하였고 역전파 알고리즘을 통해 학습을 수행하였다. 인공신경망을 사용한 콘크리트 인장강도의 추정 결과 시험 결과와 추정결과가 유사하게 나타나는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 인공신경망에서 결합력이 큰 변수들은 물-시멘트비와 섬유의 혼입량으로 나타났으며 섬유보강콘크리트의 인장강도는 물-시멘트비에 영향을 받는 압축강도와 혼입량을 통해 추정할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

본 연구에서는 순환골재를 사용한 강섬유보강 콘크리트보의 전단거동을 알아보기 위하여 순환골재 치환율은 30 %로 고정하고, 전단경간비(a/d = 2, 3, 4), 인장철근비(${\rho}=0.8$, 1.27 %) 및 강섬유 혼입율($V_f=0$, 0.5, 0.75, 1%)을 변수로 한 총 24개의 강섬유보강 콘크리트보를 만들어 실험하였다. 또한 순환골재를 사용한 강섬유보강 콘크리트보의 전단강도를 여러 연구자들의 제안식과 비교 분석하였다. 즉, 순환골재를 사용한 강섬유보강 콘크리트보의 전단거동에 따른 전단내력을 분석하고, 강섬유보강 전단강도 제안식과 실험값을 비교하여 순환골재를 사용한 강섬유보강 콘크리트보의 사용가능성을 평가하고자 하였다. 대부분의 실험값이 제안식에 의한 이론값보다 높게 나타나 순환골재를 사용한 강섬유보강 콘크리트보를 구조부재로 사용하여도 무방하다고 판단된다.

The hybrid composite materials are recently used in many field as an advanced material due to their high resistance to fracture. However, hybrid composite materials have several problems, especially delamination, compared with homogeneous materials such as an aluminum alloy, etc. In this study, we carried out the tensile test to study the tension failure appearances and tensile ultimate strength of CFRP/Al/CFRP hybrid composite materials. The CFRP material used in the experiment is a commercial material known as CU175NS in unidirectional carbon prepreg. Also Al/CFRP/Al hybrid composites with three kind length of a single edge crack were investigated for the relationship between an aluminium volume fraction and a crack length. The crack length was measured by a traveling microscope under a universal dynamic tester. Futhermore the stress intensity factor behavior was examined according to a volume fraction and an initial crack length ratio to a width.

The variation in microstructure and texture during continuous annealing was examined in a series of 1.6% Mn-0.1% Cr-0.3% Mo-0.005% B steels with carbon contents in the range of 0.010 to 0.030%. It was found that microstructure of hot band consisted of ferrite and pearlite as a consequence of high coiling temperature, and eutectoid carbon content was between 0.011% and 0.016%. Martensite ranged in volume fraction from 1.5% to 4.0% when annealed at $820{\circ}C$ according to the typical continuous annealing cycle. The critical martensite content for the continuous yielding was about 4% from stress-strain curves. The continuous yielding was obtained in the 0.030% carbon steel and 0.010% to 0.020% carbon steels revealed some yield point elongation ranging from 0.8% to 2.2% in as-annealed conditions. Higher tensile strength in the higher carbon steel is due to both increase in the martensite volume fraction and ferrite grain refinement. Decreasing the carbon content to 0.01% strengthened the intensities of ${\gamma}$-fiber textures, resulting in the increase in the $r_m$ value, which was caused by the lower volume fraction of martensite. The higher carbon steels showed the lower $r_m$ value of about 1.0.

순환골재를 사용한 철근콘크리트 부재에서 휨강도에 비하여 전단성능 저하가 문제점으로 제기되고 있다. 이를 해결하기 위한 방법으로 강섬유를 콘크리트 보강재로 사용할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 순환골재를 사용한 SFRC 보의 전단실험을 통하여 강도 및 변형 특성을 파악하고자 하였다. 주요 실험변수는 강섬유 혼입률(0, 0.5%, 1%), 순환골재 치환율(0%, 100%), 전단경간비(a/d = 1, 2) 등이다. 실험결과 실험에 의한 전단강도는 강섬유의 혼입률이 증가할수록 전단경간비가 작아질수록 증가하였다. 강섬유 1% 혼입한 순환골재의 경우 일반 골재에 비해 최대전단내력이 1.77~6.25% 증가한 반면에 강섬유 0~0.5% 혼입한 실험체에서는 일반골재에 비해 순환골재가 24.2%~49.2%의 전단강도가 저하되었다. 이를 볼 때 1% 강섬유 보강에 의하여 순환골재 사용에 따른 강도 저하를 방지하는데 크게 기여하는 것을 알 수 있다.
