Steel-concrete composition is widely used in the construction due to efficient utilization of materials. The service load behavior of composite structures is significantly affected by cracking, creep and shrinkage effects in concrete. In order to control these effects in concrete slab, an efficient and novel strategy has been proposed by use of fiber reinforced concrete near interior supports of a continuous beam. Numerical study is carried out for the control of cracking, creep and shrinkage effects in composite beams subjected to service load. A five span continuous composite beam has been analyzed for different lengths of fiber reinforced concrete near the interior supports. For this purpose, the hybrid analytical-numerical procedure, developed by the authors, for service load analysis of composite structures has been further improved and generalized to make it applicable for composite beams having spans with different material properties along the length. It is shown that by providing fiber reinforced concrete even in small length near the supports; there can be a significant reduction in cracking as well as in deflections. It is also observed that the benefits achieved by providing fiber reinforced concrete over entire span are not significantly more as compared to the use of fiber reinforced concrete in certain length of beam near the interior supports in continuous composite beams.

콘크리트의 수축으로 인한 균열가능성 평가에 있어서 대부분의 경우 콘크리트를 균질한 물질로 가정하는 방식으로 접근하고 있다. 그러나 이러한 방식으로 접근할 경우 불구속조건 하의 콘크리트에서 자기수축으로 인한 미세균열(micro-cracking) 현상을 평가하는 것이 불가능함과 동시에 콘크리트 내부의 균열 발생 현상을 이해하는데 한계가 있다. 이에 이 연구에서는 시멘트 모르타르 시험체를 가지고 실험적으로는 음향방출(acoustic emission) 장비를 사용하여 내부 균열 발생량을 측정 및 평가하였으며, 이론적인 접근방식의 일환으로 실제 모르타르 시험체로부터 구하여진 이차원 이미지를 사용하여 NIST에서 개발한 OOF code로 유한요소해석을 수행하였다. 실험 및 해석 결과, 모르타르의 내부에서 시멘트 페이스트상의 수축 및 골재의 내부구속으로 인하여 발생하는 미세균열 발생 현상을 보다 현실적으로 이해할 수 있었다.

본 연구에서는 카올린점토에 대한 실내실험을 통하여 수축으로 인한 균열발생을 조사하고 균열 단계를 모사할 수 있는 단순모델을 제안하였다. CPS 기법을 이용하여 디지털 카메라에 의해 얻은 균열 이미지를 분석하였다. 함수비의 감소에 따라 균열의 길이와 면적은 1차 균열단계, 2차 균열단계, 수축단계 균열의 3단계로 나타났다. 균열 면적의 1차 및 2차 균열 최종 단계에서의 정규화된 함수비는 시료 두께에 상관없이 각각 0.92와 0.70에서 발생하였다. 반면 균열 길이는 1차 균열 최종 단계에서의 함수비는 시료 두께와 상관없이 0.92에서 발생하였으나, 2차 균열 최종 단계에서의 함수비는 시료 두께가 0.5, 1.0, 2.0cm로 증가함에 따라 함수비는 0.79, 0.82, 0.85로 증가하였다. 수축 균열을 모사할 수 있는 3개의 직선으로 구성된 단순모델을 제안하였다.

Plastic shrinkage cracking is a major concern for concrete, especially for flat structures as highway pavement, slabs for parking garages, and walls. One of the methods to reduce the adverse effect of plastic shrinkage cracking is to reinforced concrete with short randomly distributed fibers. The contribution of cellulose fiber to the plastic shrinkage crack reduction potential of cement composites and its evaluation are presented in this paper. The effects of differing amounts of fibers(0.9kg/㎥, 1.3kg/㎥, 1.5kg/㎥) were studied. The results of tests of the cellulose fiber reinforced concrete were compared with plain concrete and polypropylene fiber reinforced concrete. Results indicated that cellulose fiber reinforcement showed an ability to reduce the total area and maximum crack width significantly(as compared to plain concreted to plain concrete and polypropylene fiber concrete).

The mechanical properties of specialty cellulose fiber reinforced concrete and the contribution of specialty cellulose fiber to drying shrinkage crack reduction potential of concrete and theirs evaluation are presented in this paper. The effects of differing fiber volume fraction(0.03%, 0.06%, 0.08%, 0.1%, 0.15%, 0.2%) were studied. The results of tests of the specialty cellulose fiber reinforced concrete were compared with plain and polypropylene fiber reinforced concrete. Flexural performance(flexural strength and flexural toughness) test results indicated that specialty cellulose fiber reinforcement showed an ability to increase the flexural performance of normal- and high- strength concrete(as compared to plain and polypropylene fiber reinforced concrete). Optimum specialty cellulose fiber reinforced concrete were obtianed using 0.08% fiber volume fraction. Drying shrinkage cracking test results confirmed specialty cellulose fibers are effective in reducing the drying shrinkage cracking of normal and high-strength concrete(as compared to popylene fiber reinforced concrete).

Plastic shrinkage cracking occurs at the exposed surfaces of freshly placed concrete due to consolidation of the concrete mass and rapid evaporation of water from the surface. This so-called shrinkage cracking is a major concern for concrete, especially for flat structural such as pavement, slabs for industrial factories and walls. This study has been performed to obtain the plastic shrinkage properties of hydrophilic fiber reinforced mortar and concrete. The results of tests of the hydrophilic fibers were compared with plain and polypropylene fibers. Test results indicated that hydrophilic poly vinylalcohol fiber reinforcement showed an ability to reduce the total crack area and maximum crack width significantly (as compared to plain and polypropylene fiber reinforcement).

Reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) is abundant substitute for natural aggregate in many areas. It is obtained by crushing of old road pavements in milling machine during rehabilitation and reconstruction process. In this study, reclaimed asphalt pavement mortars (RAPM) have been produced with different cement dosages and replacement ratios. The destructive and nondestructive tests have been conducted on specimens to determine physical and mechanical properties of RAPM. The free and restrained shrinkage tests on RAPM have been conducted to predict fractural behavior of mortars. The aim of the shrinkage tests was to delay crack formation and improve strain capacity of mortars before cracking. The results showed that RAPM exhibits lower elasticity modulus; however the tensile capacity was improved for deformation before cracking.

Early age cracking of concrete is a widespread and complicated problem, and diverse applications in practical engineering have focused on this issue. Since massive concrete base slab composes the infrastructure of other concrete structures such as pier, concrete dam, and high rise buildings, early age cracking of that is considered as a crucial problem. In this study, finite element analysis (FEA) implemented with the age-dependent microplane model was performed. For a massive concrete base slab, cracking initiation and propagation, and deformation variation were investigated with concrete age. In massive concrete slab, autogenous shrinkage increases the risk of early age cracking and it reduces reinforcement effect on control of early age cracking. Gradual crack occurrence is experienced from exterior surface towards interior of the slab in case of combined hydration heat and autogenous shrinkage. FEA implemented with enhanced microplane model successfully simulates the typical cracking patterns due to edge restraint in concrete base slab.

In the present paper, for a quantitative assessment of early-age cracking in an RC wall, an improved analytical model is proposed. First of all, a three-dimensional finite element model for the analysis of stresses due to hydration heat and differential drying shrinkage is introduced. A discrete steel element derived using the equivalent nodal force concept is used to simulate reinforcing steels, embedded in a concrete matrix. In advance, to quantitatively calculate the cracking potential, an analytical model that can estimate the post-cracking behavior in an RC tension member is proposed Subsequent comparisons. of analytical results with test results verify that the combined use of both the finite element model for the stress analysis as well as the analytical model for the estimation of the post-cracking behavior in an RC tension member make it possible to accurately predict the cracking ,behavior of RC walls.

콘크리트의 건조수축에 의한 합성거더의 장기거동을 평가하기 위해 수행한 실험과 이론적 분석방법에 대해 기술하였다. 합성거더를 제작하여 장기간 실내실험을 통해 콘크리트의 건조수축에 따른 합성보의 처짐, 곡률변화 및 변형률변화를 측정하였으며, 실험결과를 AEMM(Age-adjusted Effective Modulus Method)을 이용한 해석치와 비교하였다. 또한 콘크리트의 건조수축에 의한 합성거더의 장기거동에 영향을 미치는 여러 변수들에 대한 해석을 수행하였다. 실험결과 합성거더의 장기거동은 AEMM에 의해 적절히 평가할 수 있다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 합성거더의 콘크리트 단면에 커다란 인장응력이 발생하기 때문에 연속교 부모멘트부뿐만 아니라 단순교 정모멘트부에도 횡방향균열이 발생할 수 있다는 것을 보였으며, 횡방향 균열을 무시하는 경우 강거더에 작용하는 응력이 과대평가 될 수 있다는 것을 확인하였다. 이상의 연구결과를 토대로 콘크리트의 건조수축에 의한 합성거더의 장기거동 평가시 콘크리트 단면에 발생할 수 있는 횡방향균열을 고려하는 것이 합리적이라고 판단된다.
