Self-Compacting Concrete (SCC) has been originally developed in Japan to offset a growing shortage of skilled labors, is a highly workable concrete, which is not needed to any vibration or impact during casting. The utilizing of fibers in SCC improves the mechanical properties and durability of hardened concrete such as impact strength, flexural strength, and vulnerability to cracking. The purpose of this investigation is to determine the effect of steel fibers on mechanical performance of traditionally reinforced Self-Competing Concrete beams. In this study, two mixes Mix 1% and Mix 2% containing 1% and 2% volume friction of superplasticizer are considered. For each type of mixture, four different volume percentages of 60/30 (length/diameter) fibers of 0.0%, 1.0%, 1.5% and 2% were used. The mechanical properties were determined through compressive and flexural tests. According to the experimental test results, an increase in the steel fibers volume fraction in Mix 1% and Mix 2% improves compressive strength slightly but decreases the workability and other rheological properties of SCC. On the other hand, results revealed that flexural strength, energy absorption capacity and toughness are increased by increasing the steel fiber volume fraction. The results clearly show that the use of fibers improves the post-cracking behavior. The average spacing of between cracks decrease by increasing the fiber volume fraction. Furthermore, fibers increase the tensile strength by bridging actions through the cracks. Therefore, steel fibers increase the ductility and energy absorption capacity of RC elements subjected to flexure.

The objective of this study was to characterize the mechanical properties of $Y_{2}O_{3}$-containing glass infiltrated ceramic core material, which was made by pressureless powder packing method. A pure alumina powder with a grain size of about $4{\mu}m$ was packed without pressure is silicon mold to form a bar shaped sample, and applied PVA solution as a binder. Samples were sinterd at $1350^{\circ}C$ for 1 hour. After cooling, $Y_{2}O_{3}$-containing glass($SiO_{2},\;Y_{2}O_{3},\;B_{2}O_{3},\;Al_{2}O_{3}$, ect) was infiltrated to the sinterd samples at $1300^{\circ}C$ for 2 hours and cooled. Six different proportions $Y_{2}O_{3}$ of were used to know the effect of the mismatch of the thermal expansion coefficient between alumina powder and glass. The samples were ground to $3{\times}3{\times}30$ mm size and polished with $1{\mu}m$ diamond paste. Flexural strength, fracture toughness, hardness and other physical properties were obtained, and the fractured surface was examined with SEM and EPMA. Ten samples of each group were tested and compared with In-Ceram(tm) core materials of same size made in dental laboratory. The results were as follows : 1. The flexural strengths of group 1 and 3 were significantly not different with that of In-Ceram, but other experimental groups were lower than In-Ceram. 2. The shrinkage rate of samples was 0.42% after first firing, and 0.45% after glass infiltration. Total shrinkage rate was 0.87%. 3. After first firing, porosity rate of experimental groups was 50%, compared with 22.25% of In-Ceram. After glass infiltration, porosity rate of experimental groups was 2%, and 1% in In-Ceram. 4. There was no statistical difference in hardness between two materials tested, but in fracture toughness, group 2 and 3 were higher than In-Ceram. 5. The thermal expansion coefficients of experimental groups were varied to $4.51-5.35{\times}10^{-6}/^{\circ}C$ according to glass composition, also the flexural strengths of samples were varied. 6. In a view of SEM, many microparticles about $0.5{\mu}m$ diameter and $4{\mu}m$ diameter were observed in In-Ceram. But in experimental group, the size of most particles was about $4{\mu}m$, and a little microparticles was observed. The results obtained in this study showed that the mismatch of the thermal expansion coefficients between alumina powder and infiltrated glass affect the flexural strength of alumin/glass composite. The $Y_{2}O_{3}$-containing glass infiltrated ceramic core made by powder packing method will takes less time and cost with sufficient flexural strength similar to all ceramic crown made with slip casting technique.

본 연구에서는 폴리프로필렌 섬유보강 콘크리트의 파괴특성을 알아보기 위해 Monofilament 섬유와 Fibrillated 섬유의 두 종류 폴리프로필렌 섬유를 선택하여 10$\times$10$\times$50 cm 보 시편을 만들었는데, 이때 사용된 두 종류의 섬유 길이는 19 mm이고, 섬유 혼입량은 0%, 1%, 2%, 3%로 하였으며, 초기균열 깊이의 영향을 알아보기 위해 초기 균열길이를 각 섬유 혼입량에 따라 1.5cm, 3.0cm, 4.5cm로 하여 실험을 수행하였다. 또한, 본 연구에서는 폴리프로필렌 섬유보강 콘크리트의 파괴특성을 규명하기 위해 보 시편에 대한 4 점 하중 휨시험을 통해 하중-하중점 변위 곡선을 각 시편에 대해 측정하였고, 이때 COD 게이지를 이용하여 하중-CMOD 곡선도 측정할 수 있었다. 이러한 실험결과를 통해, 섬유혼입량과 초기 균열 깊이에 따른 압축강도, 휨강도 및 휨인성, 응력확대계수, 파괴에너지 등이 규명되었다. 이러한 결과에 대한 분석으로부터 Fibrillated 폴리프로필렌 섬유가 Monofilament 섬유보다 연성 효과가 큰 것을 알 수 있었으며, 특히 하중-CMOD 곡선으로부터 계산되는 파괴에너지인 Jc가 믿을만한 파괴특성 인자임을 알 수 있었다.

고속 비상체에 의한 충격을 받는 시멘트 복합체는 표면관입, 배면박리 및 관통 등 국부적인 파괴거동을 보이며, 섬유혼입에 의한 휨인성의 향상으로 인해 배면파괴를 억제할 수 있다. 이에 섬유보강 시멘트 복합체의 내충격 성능에 관한 연구가 진행되고 있으며, 다양한 종류의 섬유보강재가 개발되고 있다. 섬유보강재의 종류에 따라 섬유와 매트릭스의 부착성능, 비표면적, 혼입개체수 등이 다르기 때문에 섬유보강 시멘트 복합체의 역학특성 및 고속 충격에 의한 내충격 성능의 향상에 미치는 효과에 대하여 검토할 필요가 있다. 본 연구에서는 성상 및 물성이 다른 강섬유(Steel fiber), 폴리아미드(Polyamide), 나일론(Nylon) 및 폴리에틸렌(Polyethylene)섬유를 혼입하여 섬유 종류에 따른 휨인성의 향상과 고속 비상체 충돌에 대한 파괴저감효과에 대하여 평가하였다. 그 결과, 혼입섬유의 가교작용에 의한 응력의 재분배 및 균열발생의 억제로 인해 휨인성이 향상되었으며, 고속충격에 의한 배면파괴를 억제할 수 있었다. 또한, 동일 충격에너지에서의 배면파괴한계두께를 감소시킬 수 있어 방호시설물에 적용할 경우 부재두께의 저감이 가능할 것으로 판단된다. 한편, 강섬유보강 시멘트복합체의 경우 배면박리가 발생하였으나, 섬유와 매트릭스의 부착에 의한 일부 파편의 박리가 억제되었으며, 합성섬유보강 시멘트복합체는 섬유의 혼입개체수가 많아, 고속충격에 의한 충격파의 상쇄작용 및 에너지 분산에 의한 미세균열이 발생해 배면파괴억제효과가 큰 것으로 판단된다.

Addition of fibers in cement or cement concrete may be of current interest, but this is not a new idea or concept. Fibers of any material and shape play an important role in improving the strength and deformation characteristics of the cement matrix in which they are incorporated. The new concept and technology reveal that the engineering advantages of adding fibers in concrete may improve the fracture toughness, fatigue resistance, impact resistance, flexural strength, compressive strength, thermal crack resistance, rebound loss, and so on. The magnitude of the improvement depends upon both the amount and the type of fibers used. In this paper, locally available waste fibers such as coir fibers, sisal fibers and polypropylene fibers have incorporated in concrete with varying percentages and l/d ratio and their effect on compressive, split, flexural, bond and impact resistance have been reported.

Aluminum nitride powder prepared from the hydroxides, AlOOH and Al(OH)3 which were obtained by hydrolysis of Al-isopropoxide, was densified at 1750 and 180$0^{\circ}C$ for 60 min by hot-pressing under the pressure of 25kg/$\textrm{cm}^2$. Theoretical density could be obtained at 175$0^{\circ}C$. Their flexural strengths were 450MPa and 395MPa for the specimens obtained from Al(OH)3 and AlOOH, respectively. There was no remarkable change in flexural strength up to 100$0^{\circ}C$. Fracture toughness values were 3.50MN/m3/2 for Al(OH)3 and 3.11MN/m3/2 for AlOOH. It is assumed that these differences in mechanical properties are due to the abnormal grain growth for the AlN ceramics obtained from AlOOH.

Epoxy resins are gradually becoming some of the most important and versatile polymers in modem civil engineering. Because epoxy resins have some unigue properties, such as toughness, versatility of viscosity and curing conditions, good handling characteristics, high adhesive strength, inertness, low shrinkage compared to most other thermo-setting resins and concrete, and resistance to chemicals, they have found many applications in construction castings, repair materials, road or bridge deck pavements, coatings, and as structural or non structural adhesives. In this applications, epoxy resins are widely used for polymer concretes, grouting materials, injection glues, and sealants. In this paper, characteristics of deformation of repair material after repaired have been investigated by viscosity of repair material and the width of crack. It is believed that flexural strength of epoxy resin with low viscosity is high because tensile strength is high and elongation at break is low, fracture energy is low.

$Al_2O_3/ZrO_2$복합분말에 상릉분말을 침가하여 상압소결법으로 $Al_2O_3/ZrO_2$복합체를 제조한 후, 밀도, 강도, 경도 및 파괴인성등의 물성을 측정하였으며 미세구조 및 파괴단면도 관찰하였다. 상용분말의 침가량이 중량비로 50%이하인 경우에는 평균 꺽임 강도가 640 MPa정도로 거의 변화가 없었으며, 50%이상 첨가된 경우에는 강도가 저하되었는데, 이는 미세조직과 관계가 있는 것으로 생각된다. 또한 파괴인성(4.3-5.3 $Mpam^{1/2}$)값은 상용분말 첨가량에 비례하여 증가하였다. 파괴단면 관찰결과 파괴원인으로는 가공에서 생기는 표면 결함, $ZrO_2$ agglomeration에 의한 crack-like void 및 $Al_2O_3/ZrO_2$ nano복합체 분말과 상용분말간의 소결성 차이에서 생기는 계면 분리등이 관찰되었는데, nano 복합 분말만을 사용한 소결체에서는 가공에 의한 표면 결함만이 파괴원으로 작용하였다. 또한, 파괴형태는 주로 transgranular fracture이었다

An underwater grout on material resistance against segregation in water were studied by water soluble polymer (methyl cellulose and acrylic acid ester and styrene). The mechanical properties of the grout agents were investigated through the observation of the microstructure and application of fracture mechanic. When the soluble polymer MC+AAES added with 0.6 wt% to the underwater grout agents the compressive strength, flexural strength and Young's modulus were about 58 MPa, 10 MPa and 3.2 GPa respectively, and critical stress intensity was about 0.8 MNm-1.5. It can be considered that the strength improvement and fracture toughness increase may be due to the pore decrease and bonding force by material resistance against segregation in water.
