Although concrete is the most widely used construction material, its deficiency in shrinkage and low tensile resistance is undeniable. However, the aforementioned defects can be partially modified by addition of fibers. On the other hand, possibility of adding waste materials in concrete has provided a new ground for use of recycled concrete aggregates in the construction industry. In this study, a constant combination of recyclable coarse and fine concrete aggregates was used to replace the corresponding aggregates at 50% substitution percentage. Moreover, in order to investigate the effects of fibers on mechanical and durability properties of recycled aggregate concrete, the amounts of 0.5%, 1%, and 1.5% steel fibers (ST) and 0.05%, 0.1% and 0.15% polypropylene (PP) fibers by volumes were used individually and in hybrid forms. Compressive strength, tensile strength, flexural strength, ultrasonic pulse velocity (UPV), water absorption, toughness, elastic modulus and shrinkage of samples were investigated. The results of mechanical properties showed that PP fibers reduced the compressive strength while positive impact of steel fibers was evident both in single and hybrid forms. Tensile and flexural strength of samples were improved and the energy absorption of samples containing fibers increased substantially before and after crack presence. Growth in toughness especially in hybrid fiber-reinforced specimens retarded the propagation of cracks. Modulus of elasticity was decreased by the addition of PP fibers while the contrary trend was observed with the addition of steel fibers. PP fibers decreased the ultrasonic pulse velocity slightly and had undesirable effect on water absorption. However, steel fiber caused negligible decline in UPV and a small impact on water absorption. Steel fibers reduce the drying shrinkage by up to 35% when was applied solely. Using fibers also resulted in increasing the ductility of samples in failure. In addition, mechanical properties changes were also evaluated by statistical analysis of MATLAB software and smoothing spline interpolation on compressive, flexural, and indirect tensile strength. Using shell interpolation, the optimization process in areas without laboratory results led to determining optimal theoretical points in a two-parameter system including steel fibers and polypropylene.

PURPOSE. The study objective was to evaluate the influence of the type of resin cement on the flexural strength and load to fracture of two chairside CADCAM materials after aging. MATERIALS AND METHODS. A polymer-infiltrated ceramic network (PICN) and a nanoceramic resin (RNC) were used to produce the specimens. Two types of dual-cure resin cements, a self-adhesive and a universal, were investigated. Bilayer specimens were produced (n = 10) and aged for 6 months in a humid environment before the biaxial flexural strength test (σ_f). Bonded specimens were subjected to a mechanical aging protocol (50 N, 2 Hz, 37℃ water, 500,000 cycles) before the compressive load test (L_f). σ_f and L_f data were analyzed using two-way ANOVA and Tukey tests (α = .05). Chi-square test was used to analyze the relationship between failure mode and experimental group (α = .05). RESULTS. The type of resin cement and the interaction between factors had no effect on the σ_f and L_f of the specimens, while the type of restorative material was significant. RNC had higher σ_f and L_f than PICN. There was a significant association among the type of cracks identified for specimens tested in L_f and the restorative material. CONCLUSION. The type of resin cement had no effect on the flexural strength and load to fracture of the two investigated CAD-CAM chairside materials after aging.

철근콘크리트 휨 부재에서 현행 설계기준들의 처짐 계산 규정은 콘크리트의 균열 후 보의 휨강성이 감소하는 것을 반영한 유효 단면2차모멘트의 개념을 적용하고 있다. 그러나 기준식의 유효 단면2차모멘트는 하중을 받는 보의 최대 모멘트와 균열모멘트에 의하여 계산하며, 처짐에 영향을 미치는 경간, 단부구속, 단면의 크기, 하중 분포, 재료 및 단면 성질, 균열의 양과 확장 등의 여러 영향인자들에 대하여는 적절한 고려가 이루어지지 않았다. 따라서, 이 연구에서는 철근콘크리트 단순보를 대상으로 처짐 계산에 필요한 유효 단면2차모멘트에 대한 실험 자료를 제공하고, 국내 기준식 및 다른 연구자들의 제안식을 수정 보완하여 제안하는 것을 목적으로 하였다. 콘크리트강도와 피복두께, 철근비 및 철근 직경을 주요변수로 하여 총 14개의 철근콘크리트 보 실험체를 제작하였으며, 실험을 통하여 구한 유효 단면2차모멘트와 설계 기준에 의한 값, 기존의 제안식 및 본 연구에서 제안된 식에 의한 값들을 비교 분석하였다. 실험 결과를 바탕으로 균열 구간의 길이, 철근비 및 철근 한 개당 콘크리트의 유효 인장단면적을 고려하여 이 연구에서 제안한 유효 단면2차모멘트 예측식은 기존의 제안식들에 비하여 실험값에 더욱 근접한 결과를 나타내었다.

Inelastic static pushover analysis has been used in the academic-research widely for seismic analysis of structures. Nowadays, the variety pushover analysis methods have been developed, including Modal pushover, Adaptive pushover, and Cyclic pushover, in which some weaknesses of the conventional pushover method have been rectified. In the conventional pushover analysis method, the effects of cumulative growth of cracks are not considered on the reduction of strength and stiffness of RC members that occur during earthquake or cyclic loading. Therefore, the Cyclic Pushover Analysis Method (CPA) has been proposed. This method is a powerful technique for seismic evaluation of regular reinforced concrete buildings in which the first mode of them is dominant. Since the bridges have different structures than buildings, their results cannot necessarily be attributed to bridges, and more research is needed. In this study, a cyclic pushover analysis with four loading protocols (suggested by valid references) by the Opensees software was conducted for seismic evaluation of two regular reinforce concrete bridges. The modeling method was validated with the comparison of the analytical and experimental results under both cyclic and dynamic loading. The failure mode of the piers was considered in two-mode of flexural failure and also a flexural-shear failure. Along with the cyclic analysis, conventional analysis has been studied. Also, the nonlinear incremental dynamic analysis (IDA) method has been used to examine and compare the results of pushover analyses. The time history of 20 far-field earthquake records was used to conduct IDA. After analysis, the base shear vs. displacement in the middle of the deck was drawn. The obtained results show that the cyclic pushover analysis method is able to evaluate an accurate seismic behavior of the reinforced concrete piers of the bridges. Based on the results, the cyclic pushover has proper convergence with IDA. Its accuracy was much higher than the conventional pushover, in which the bridge piers failed in flexural-shear mode. But, in the flexural failure mode, the results of each two pushover methods were close approximately. Besides, the cyclic pushover method with ACI loading protocol, and ATC-24 loading protocol, can provided more accurate results for evaluating the seismic investigation of the bridges, specially if the bridge piers are failed in flexural-shear failure mode.

콘크리트는 건설분야의 대표적인 복합재료로써 아주 우수한 재료이나, 불균질성을 가진 취성적 재료로 휨이나 인장력에 대해 취약한 거동을 보인다. 이러한 단점을 보완하기 위해 다양한 종류의 섬유를 보강한 콘크리트를 활용하고 있다. 특히, 강섬유는 다른 고분자 섬유에 비해 시장성이 좋으며 우수한 역학적 성능을 가지고 있어 콘크리트 보강재로 널리 사용되고 있다. 그러나 해양 환경에 노출된 부위에 시공할 때 염소이온 침투에 따른 부식의 영향으로 콘크리트의 내구성을 저하시킨다는 문제점을 가진다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 반복적 연수침지가 강섬유 혼입 콘크리트에 미치는 다양한 영향들에 관해 평가해 보고자 하였다. 실험 결과에 따르면, 37주간의 반복적 염수 침지 기간 동안 콘크리트의 상대동탄성 계수의 감소는 관찰되지 않았고, 염수 침지 종료 후의 휨강도의 감소도 발생하지 않았다. 반복시험 종료 후 시편의 파단면 육안 관찰 시 강섬유 부식의 증거는 확인할 수 없었다. 그러나 휨인성은 감소하였는데, 이는 콘크리트 시편의 절반 정도가 휨 시험의 최대 측정변위인 3mm지점에 도달하지 못하고 파괴가 발생하였기 때문이다. 비록 반복적 염수침지가 강섬유의 부식을 통한 콘크리트 균열을 발생시키지 못하더라도, 휨인성에는 영향을 미칠 수 있으므로 해양환경에 강섬유 보강 콘크리트를 사용 시 이를 유의해야 할 것으로 판단된다.

This study examined the effects of the epoxidized castor oil (ECO) and $Al_2O_3$ content on the thermal stability and fracture toughness of the diglycidylether of bisphenol-A (DGEBA)/ECO/$Al_2O_3$ ternary composites using a range of techniques. The thermal stability of the composites was decreased by the addition of ECO and $Al_2O_3$ nanoparticles. The fracture toughness of the composites was improved significantly by the addition of ECO and $Al_2O_3$ nanoparticles. The composite containing 3 wt % $Al_2O_3$ nanoparticles showed the maximum flexural strength. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) revealed tortuous cracks in the DGEBA/ECO/$Al_2O_3$ composites, which prevented deformation and crack propagation.

During the past decades, development of reinforcing materials caused a revolution in the structure of high strength and high performance cement-based concrete. Among the most important and exciting reinforcing materials, Steel Fiber (SF) becomes a widely used in the recent years. The main reason for addition of SF is to enhance the toughness and tensile strength and limit development and propagation of cracks and deformation characteristics of the SF blended concrete. Basically this technique of strengthening the concrete structures considerably modifies the physical and mechanical properties of plain cement-based concrete which is brittle in nature with low flexural and tensile strength compared to its intrinsic compressive strength. This paper presents an overview of the work carried out on the use of SF as reinforcement in cement-based concrete matrix. Reported properties in this study are fresh properties, mechanical and durability of the blended concretes.

This paper presents a study in the ductility of reinforced concrete beam-column-slab joints Three assemblies were designed 2/3 scale (f'c=240kg/$\textrm{cm}^2$, f'c=700kg/$\textrm{cm}^2$) and tested to investigate seismic behavior. From the test results, 1) flexural cracks emerge to inside of beam deeply for high strength concrete member, 2) the high-strength specimens degraded in stiffness and strength, and unstable hysteretic behaviors were observed, owing to the brittleness of high-strength concrete beyond its range. 3) The confinement provided by the additional hoops to the column bar is probably the main reason for this improvement in behavior.

Ultrasonic pulse velocity method is employed for evaluation of crack depth in concrete structures. Due to the heterogeneous nature of concrete and the indirect transmission arrangement for the transit time measurement through the surface-opening cracks in concrete structures, ultrasonic pulse velocity has so many variations as crack depths and transmission lengths vary. In this study, ultrasonic pulse velocity method is investigated to evaluate the surface-opening crack depth of concrete slabs, reinforced concrete slabs, reinforced concrete flexural members. the resent study gives a modified method for deminishing errors in transit time measurements and show limitations to the evaluation of crack depth in reinforced concrete structures.
