철근과 GFRP bar의 콘크리트 및 PVA가 사용된 ECC에서의 부착-미끌림 관계를 실험을 통해 평가하였다. 총 8개의 최대하중 발현 이후 파괴 모드가 크게 변경되고 부착강도의 증진을 예상할 수 있는 PVA 및 PE가 2% 부피비로 혼입된 ECC로 제작된 RILEM 기준에 따른 실험체가 제작되었다. 이 연구의 목적은 ECC 및 GFRP가 사용되었을 경우 하중-변위 관계 및 부착응력-미끌림 관계를 다음과 같은 변수에 따라 파악하는 것이다. 1) 콘크리트의 종류(보통 콘크리트, 섬유보강 콘크리트), 2) 보강근의 직경(10 mm, 13 mm) 실험 결과 콘크리트와 ECC는 철근에 대한 실험체는 유사한 거동을 하였지만 GFRP에 대해서는 서로 다른 거동을 보였다. 기존 연구로 제안된 평가 방법은 실험 결과와 유사한 값을 나타내었지만 부착강도를 과대평가하는 경향을 보였으며 설계기준으로도 사용되는 ACI 위원회 제안식은 보수적인 결과를 타나내었다.

In this paper, the effect of the type and amount of fibers on the physicomechanical properties of concrete containing fine recycled refractory brick (RRB) and natural aggregate subjected to elevated temperatures was investigated. For this purpose, forta-ferro (FF), polypropylene (PP), and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) fibers with the volume fractions of 0, 0.25, and 0.5%, as well as steel fibers with the volume fractions of 0, 0.75, and 1.5% were used in the concrete containing RRB fine aggregate replacing natural sand by 0 and 100%. In total, 162 concrete specimens from 18 different mix designs were prepared and tested in the temperature groups of 23, 400, and $800^{\circ}C$. After experiencing heat, the concrete properties including the compressive strength, ultrasonic pulse velocity (UPV), weight loss, and surface appearance were evaluated and compared with the corresponding results of the reference (unheated) specimens. The results show that using RRB fine aggregate replacing natural fine aggregate by 100% led to an increase in the concrete compressive strength in almost all the mixes, and only in the PVA-containing mixes a decrease in strength was observed. Furthermore, UPV values at $800^{\circ}C$ for all the concrete mixes containing RRB fine aggregate were above those of the natural aggregate concrete specimens. Finally, regarding the compressive strength and UPV results, steel fibers demonstrated a better performance relative to other fiber types.

Reactive powder concrete (RPC) is a type of ultra-high strength cement-based material with a dense microstructure, which is made of ultra-fine powders. RPC demonstrate a very brittle behavior, thus adding fibers improves its mechanical properties. In this study, it was attempted to investigate the effect of using steel and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) fibers as well as their combination on the properties of RPC. In this regard, hooked-end crimped steel fibers together with short PVA fibers were utilized. Steel and PVA fibers were used with the maximum volume fraction of 3% and 0.75%, respectively, and also different combinations of these fibers were used with the maximum volume fraction of 1% in the concrete mixes. In total, 107 concrete specimens were prepared, and the effect of fiber type and volume fraction on the physico-mechanical properties of RPC including compressive strength, tensile strength, modulus of elasticity, density, and failure mode was explored. In addition, the effect of the curing type on the properties of compressive strength, modulus of elasticity, and density of RPC was evaluated. Finally, coefficients for conversion of cubic compressive strength to cylindrical one for the RPC specimens were obtained under the two curing regimes of heat treatment and standard water curing.

Recently, in order to reduce the spalling of high strength concrete under fire, the addition of organic fibres to high strength concrete has been investigated. In this study, the effect of organic fibre content on the spalling of high strength concrete was experimantally investigated. Two types of fibre, polypropylene(PP) and polyvinyl alcohol(PVA) fibres, were selected, and three water/binder ratios were selected, which were W/B $30\%,\;24.\%,\;and\;16\%$, respectively. As a result, it appears that as the concrete strength increases, the fiber content for prevention spalling increases. When W/B ratios are $30\%,\;24.9\%$, the additions of $0.1vol.\%$ and $0.2vol.\%$, respectively, appear to avoid the spalling in this study.

The mechanical behavior of Fiber Reinforced Cementitious Composites (FRCC) under direct shear is studied through experiment and analytical simulation. The cementitious composite considered contains 55% replacement of cement with fly ash and 2% (volume ratio) of short discontinuous synthetic fibers (in the form of mass reinforcement, comprising PVA - Polyvinyl Alcohol fibers). This class of cementitious materials exhibits ductility under tension with the formation of multiple fine cracks and significant delay of crack stabilization (i.e., localization of cracking at a single location). One of the behavioral parameters that concern structural design is the shear strength of this new type of fiber reinforced composites. This aspect was studied in the present work with the use of Push-off tests. The shear strength is then compared to the materials' tensile and splitting strength values.

The present experimental study evaluated the seismic performance of six engineered cementitious composite (ECC) columns strengthened with carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) laminates under cyclic lateral loading. The ECC columns damaged and crushed in the first stage of cyclic tests were repaired using the ECC with a certain polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) fiber and strengthened with flexural and sheer CFRP laminates and then re-assessed under the cyclic loading. The effects of some variables were examined on lateral displacement, energy absorption and dissipation, failure modes, crack patterns, load bearing capacity and plasticity, and the obtained results were compared with those of the first stage of cyclic tests. The results showed that retrofitting the ECC columns can improve their performance, plasticity and load-bearing threshold, delayed the concrete failure, changed the failure modes and increased the energy absorbed by the strengthened columns element by over 50%.

In this study, the fiber orientation distribution (FOD) is investigated using both micro-CT (computerized tomography) and image analysis of physically cut specimens prepared from Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA) fiber reinforced cemented Toyoura sand. The micro-CT images of the fiber reinforced cemented sand specimens were visualized in horizontal and vertical sections. Scans were obtained using a frame rate of two frames and an exposure time of 500 milliseconds. The number of images was set to optimize and typically resulted in approximately 3000 images. Then, the angles of the fibers for horizontal sections and in vertical section were calculated using the VGStudio MAX software. The number of fibers intersecting horizontal and vertical sections are counted using these images. A similar approach was used for physically cut specimens. The variation of results of fiber orientation between micro-CT scans and visual count were approximately 4-8%. The micro-CT scans were able to precisely investigate the fiber orientation distribution of fibers in these samples. The results show that 85-90% of the PVA fibers are oriented between ±30° of horizontal, and approximately 95% of fibers have an orientation that lies within ±45° of the horizontal plane. Finally, a comparison of experimental results with the generalized fiber orientation distribution function 𝜌(θ) is presented for isotropic and anisotropic distribution in fiber reinforced cemented Toyoura sand specimens. Experimentally, it can be seen that the average ratio of the number of fibers intersecting the finite area on a vertical plane to number of fibers intersecting the finite area on a horizontal plane (N^V_tot/N^H_tot) cut through a sample varies from 2.08 to 2.12 (an average ratio of 2.10 is obtained in this study). Based up on the analytical predictions, it can be seen that the average N^V_tot/N^H_tot ratio varies from 2.13 to 2.17 for varying n values (an average ratio of 2.15).

Fresh and hardened behaviors of a new hybrid fiber (steel fiber, polyvinyl alcohol fiber and calcium carbonate whisker) reinforced cementitious composites (HyFRCC) with admixtures (fly ash, silica fume and water reducer) have been studied. Within the limitations of the equipment and testing program, it is illustrated that the rheological properties of the new HyFRCC conform to the modified Bingham model. The relations between flow spread and yield stress as well as flow rate and plastic viscosity both conform well with negative exponent correlation, justifying that slump flow and flow rate test can be applied to replace the other two as simple rheology measurement and control method in jobsite. In addition, for the new HyFRCC with fly ash and water reducer, the mathematical model between the rheological and mechanical properties conform well with the quadratic function, and these quadratic function curves are always concave upward. Based on mathematical analysis, an optimal range of rheology/ flowability can be identified to achieve ideal mechanical properties. In addition, this optimization method can be extended to PVA fiber reinforced cement-based composites.

본 연구에서는 다양한 RC 슬래브의 접촉 발파 실험을 수행하여 내폭 성능을 평가하였다. RC 슬래브의 내폭 성능 향상을 위해 섬유 보강과 외부 CFRP 시트 보강을 도입하였다. 폭발하중 실험은 $2,000{\times}1,000{\times}100mm$ RC 슬래브를 제작하였고, 일반 콘크리트와 강섬유 보강 콘크리트, 하이브리드 PVA 섬유 보강 시멘트 복합체, 초고성능 콘크리트를 적용하였다. 접촉 발파로 생긴 RC 슬래브의 손상 정도를 크레틀, 스폴과 브리치의 직경과 깊이로 평가하였다. 실험 결과를 LS-DYNA 유한요소해석 프로그램과 Morishita 등의 예측식으로 검증하고 비교분석하였다. 분석 결과, LS-DYNA 프로그램을 이용하여 크레틀, 스폴, 브리치의 직경 및 깊이에 대한 개략적인 예측이 가능하며, 폭발하중 하에서 손상부의 거시적 거동을 모사함으로써 부재의 파괴 이력을 나타낼 수 있었다. 국부 손상에 대한 세가지 예측식이 소개되어 있으나 경험식으로써의 한계가 존재하며, 이에 대한 추가 연구가 필요하다고 판단된다.
