이 연구는 고속비상체의 충돌 및 에멀젼 폭약에 의한 폭발조건에서 섬유보강 콘크리트의 내충격 성능을 실험적으로 평가하는 것으로 목적으로 하였으며, 고속 충격시험은 비상체의 충돌속도는 약 350 m/s이며, 폭발실험은 시험체 표면에 폭약을 접촉시킨 상태에서 실시하였다. 그 결과, PVA, PE 및 강섬유의 혼입에 의한 섬유보강 콘크리트 시험체의 휨인장성능 증가는 고속충격 및 접촉폭발에 의한 배면파괴를 억제시켰다. 콘크리트의 내충격 성능에 있어서 배면파괴 억제는 압축강도에 비하여 휨인장성능의 영향을 크게 받는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 고속충돌 및 접촉폭발에 의해 발생하는 콘크리트 시험체의 파괴패턴은 매우 유사한 것을 알 수 있었으며, 고속비상체에 의한 충돌실험을 통해 접촉폭발상황에 대한 시험체의 파괴패턴의 유추가 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

In this paper, a new hybrid fiber system (NHFS) is investigated for the application of slab. The steel fiber, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) fiber and calcium carbonate ($CaCO_3$) whisker is added to form NHFS. The four-point bending test is carried out on the flexural properties of slab with plain, steel fiber, traditional hybrid fiber system (THFS) and NHFS reinforced cementitious composites. The flexural behavior is evaluated by ASTM C1018-97, JCI-SF4 and post-crack strength (PCS) technique. The evaluation parameters of flexural toughness such as toughness index (TI), equivalent flexural strength (EFS) and PCS are determined. The size of slab specimens is $15mm(thickness){\times}50mm(width){\times}200mm(length)$. The results show that adding $CaCO_3$ whisker to THFS can significantly improve the flexural strength, TI, EFS, PCS of the slab. The empirical relation between reinforcing index ($RI_v$) and flexural parameters show that flexural parameters of slabs increase first and then decrease; which indicates that optimum $RI_v$ values can be helpful in the considering the mix design of steel-PVA fibers-$CaCO_3$ whisker composites for achieving the desired flexural-related properties. The scanning electron microscopy is performed to observe the micro-morphological characteristics of the fracture surface, which proved the positive hybrid effect among the different fibers in cementitious composites. The NHFS can arrest the generation and propagation of the crack from micro to macro level.

The number of researches on the mechanical properties of cemented sand and gravel (CSG) materials and the application of the CSG Dam has been increased. In order to explain the technical scheme of strength prediction model about the artificial neural network, we obtained the sample data by orthogonal test using the PVA (Polyvinyl alcohol) fiber, different amount of cementing materials and age, and established the efficient evaluation and prediction system. Combined with the analysis about the importance of influence factors, the prediction accuracy was above 95%. This provides the scientific theory for the further application of CSG, and will also be the foundation to apply the artificial neural network theory further in water conservancy project for the future.

The present paper studies the effect of chitosan, cationic starch and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) as sizing agents to enhance surface properties of kenaf paper. The polymers were incorporated into the sheets by spray application. The results clearly showed that the addition of chitosan to a sheet formed from beaten fibers had excellent improvement in surface properties, compared to the effect of other additives. Sizing quality of cationic starch fairly matched with the sizing quality of chitosan, however, it was able to reduce the water absorption potential of paper more than chitosan at a same concentration. In most other properties, particularly the most important property for printing papers, surface smoothness, chitosan-sized papers are superior to the paper sized with cationic starch or PVA.

섬유 보강 시멘트계 복합재료의 성능 예측 및 평가에 있어서 중요한 영향을 미치는 섬유 분포 특성을 정량적으로 평가하기 위해서는 복합재료의 단면 이미지에서 섬유를 정확히 검출하여야 한다. 이 논문은 형광원리를 이용하여 합성섬유를 매트릭스로부터 개별적으로 검출하기 위한 기초 연구로써 섬유 보강 시멘트계 복합재료 중의 하나인 ECC에 일반적으로 사용되는 PVA 섬유, PET 섬유, PE 섬유, 그리고 PP 섬유의 형광특성을 분석하였다. 또한 하이브리드 된 경우 합성섬유들 간의 상대 형광 광도값의 차이를 비교하여 종류별로 구분하기 위한 최적의 파장대를 선정하였으며, 그 파장대에서 두 분류대상을 구별할 수 있는 최적의 경계값을 통계적 방법을 이용하여 산출하였다. 또한 형광 현미경을 이용하여 각 섬유를 촬영하여 상대적인 밝기값을 비교하였다.

The need to consider torsion in the design of members of a structure has recently been increasing; therefore, many studies on torsion have been carried out. Recent research was focused on the torsional performance of concrete according to the reinforcing materials used. Of particular interest, are torsion studies of beams made of SFRC(steel fiber reinforced concrete), and there has been increasing use of SFRC at construction sites. In contrast, research on the composite PVA-ECC (polyvinyl alcohol-engineered cementitious composite) has only covered its mechanical performance, though it exhibits excellent tensile-strain performance (better than SFRC). Therefore, research on the torsion of concrete beams retrofitted using PVA-ECC is lacking. In this study, the behavior characteristics and performance of reinforced-concrete beams retrofitted by PVA-ECC was investigated experimentally. The experimental results show that the resistance to torsional cracking is increased by PVA-ECC. In addition, the strain on the rebar of the specimen was found to be reduced.

To cope with the demand on giant and durable buildings, reinforcement of concrete is a practical problem being extensively investigated in the civil engineering field. Among various reinforcing techniques, fiber-reinforced concrete (FRC) has been proven to be an effective approach. In practice, such fibers include steel fibers, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) fibers, polyacrylonitrile (PAN) carbon fibers and asbestos fibers, with the length scale ranging from centimeters to micrometers. When advancing such technique down to the nanoscale, it is noticed that carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are stronger than other fibers and can provide a better reinforcement to concrete. In the last decade, CNT-reinforced concrete attracts a lot of attentions in research. Despite high cost of CNTs at present, the growing availability of carbon materials might push the usage of CNTs into practice in the near future, making the reinforcement technique of great potential. A review of existing research works may constitute a conclusive reference and facilitate further developments. In reference to the recent experimental works, this paper reports some key evaluations on CNT-reinforced cementitious materials, covering FRC mechanism, CNT dispersion, CNT-cement structures, mechanical properties and fire safety. Emphasis is placed on the interplay between CNTs and calcium silicate hydrate (C-S-H) at the nanoscale. The relationship between the CNTs-cement structures and the mechanical enhancement, especially at a high-temperature condition, is discussed based on molecular dynamics simulations. After concluding remarks, challenges to improve the CNTs reinforcement technique are proposed.

The present study fabricated polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) fiber-reinforced alkali-activated slag/fly ash (AASF) composites with varying mixture ratios of slag and fly ash. The thermomechanical behaviors of the AASF composites exposed to 200, 400, 600, or 800℃ were evaluated by means of compressive strength test, visual observation, and fire resistance tests. X-ray diffractometry, mercury intrusion porosimetry, and thermogravimetry tests were performed to analyze the microstructure change of the AASF composites upon exposure to high temperatures. Specimens exhibited a gradual strength loss up to 600℃, while also showing a significant decrease in the strength above 600℃. The fire resistance test revealed the occurrence of an inflection point as indicated by an increase in the internal temperature at around 200℃. In addition, specimens showed the dehydration of C-S-H gel, the presence of åkermanite, gehlenite, and anorthite upon exposure to 800℃, which is associated with the formation of macropore population with pores having diameters of 1-3 ㎛ and 20-40 ㎛. Visual observation indicated that the PVA fibers mitigated the cracking and/or spalling of the specimens upon exposure to 800℃.

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.
