본 연구에서는 고강도 강섬유보강 콘크리트(HSFRC)의 설계 및 시공을 위한 기초 자료를 제공하기 위하여 역학적 특성 및 장기변형 특성에 관한 연구를 수행하였으며, 탄성계수, 압축강도, 인장강도, 휨강도, 건조수축 및 크리프에 미치는 강섬유 혼입의 영향을 검토하고, 휨파괴인성을 평가하였다. 연구결과, HSFRC의 압축강도에 미치는 강섬유의 혼입효과는 그다지 크지 않았고, 탄성계수는 섬유혼입률이 증가함에 따라 증가하는 것으로 나타났으며, 인장강도, 휨강도 및 휨인성에 미치는 섬유혼입률($V_f$) 및 섬유형상비($l_f/d_f$)의 영향은 대단히 큰 것으로 나타났다. 이는 $V_f$ 및 $l_f/d_f$의 증가와 함께 극한하중에 상응하는 처짐량이 증가하고, 강섬유의 균열구속성능에 의해 하중-처짐곡선의 하강곡선이 완만하게 감소하기 때문인 것으로 판단된다. 또한 크리프 및 건조수축에 미치는 섬유혼입률($V_f$)의 영향은 대단히 큰 것으로 나타났으며, 특히 고강도 콘크리트에 강섬유를 혼입하면 크리프 변형에 비해 건조수축 변형의 저감에 더욱 효과가 큰 것으로 나타났다.

The concrete plates are most widely used structural elements in the hulls of floating concrete structures such as concrete barges and pontoons, bridge decks, basement floors and liquid storage tanks. The study on the behavior of high-strength fiber reinforced concrete (HSFRC) plates was carried out to evaluate the performance of plates under in-plane and transverse loads. The plates were tested in simply supported along all the four edges and subjected to in-plane and traverse loads. In this experimental program, twenty four 150 mm diameter cylinders and twelve plate elements of size $600{\times}600{\times}30$ mm were prepared and tested. Water-to-cementitious materials ratios of 0.3 and 0.4 with 10% and 15% silica fume replacements were used in the concrete mixes. The fiber volume fractions, $V_f$ = 0%, 1% and 1.5% with an aspect ratio of 80 were used in this study. The HSFRC mixes had the concrete compressive strengths in the range of 52.5 to 70 MPa, flexural strengths ranging from 6.21 to 11.08 MPa and static modulus of elasticity ranging from 29.68 to 36.79 GPa. In this study, the behavior of HSFRC plate elements subjected to combined uniaxial in-plane and transverse loads was investigated.

Steel laminated elastomeric bearings are commonly used in bridge structures to control displacements and rotations and transfer forces from the superstructure to the substructure. Proper knowledge of design, fabrication and erection procedures is important to ensure stability and adequate structural performance during the lifetime of the bridge. Difference in elevations sometimes leads to large size gaps between the bearing and the girder which makes the grout thickness that is commonly used for leveling deviate beyond standards. This paper investigates the structural response of High Strength Fiber Reinforced Cementitious (HSFRC) thin plinths that are used to close gaps between bearing pads and precast girders. An experimental program was developed for this purpose where HSFRC plinths of different size were cast and tested under vertical loads that simulate bridge loading in service. The structural performance of the plinths was closely monitored during testing, mainly crack propagation, vertical reaction and displacement. Analytically, the HSFRC plinth was analyzed using the beam on elastic foundation theory as the supporting elastomeric bearing pads are highly compressible. Closed form solutions were derived for induced displacement and forces and comparisons were made between analytical and experimental results. Finally, recommendations were made to facilitate the practical use of HSFRC plinths in bridge construction based on its enhanced load carrying capacity in shear and flexure.
