이 연구에서는 초고성능 콘크리트 (UHPC)와 보통 콘크리트 (NSC)간 계면부착강도에 관한 연구를 수행하였다. UHPC를 보수 보강재로 활용하기 위한 기존의 부착강도에 관한 연구와 달리, UHPC를 프리캐스트 합성부재로 활용하기 위한 연구에 초점을 맞추었으며, 여기에 영향을 미칠 수 있는 다양한 요인에 대하여 검토하였다. 기존 연구들을 분석한 결과, UHPC-NSC 계면 부착강도에 영향을 미칠 수 있는 요인으로는 계면의 형상, 합성 전 UHPC의 경화 진행상태, 합성 전 UHPC의 수분 흡수상태, 그리고 합성 후 양생장소와 같이 크게 4가지로 구분되었다. 계면의 형상을 변수로 한 실험에서는 형상에 따라 각기 다른 파괴모드가 나타났으며, 기존 연구에서 확인되지 않았던 거칠게 처리한 UHPC 계면 일부가 파괴되는 새로운 파괴모드가 발견되었다. 합성 전 UHPC의 경화진행 상태가 부착강도에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며, 이러한 영향은 부착 파괴모드에 따라 다르게 나타났다. 또한, 합성 전 UHPC의 수분상태가 부착강도에 영향을 주었으며, UHPC의 양생방법에 따라 서로 상반되는 결과를 보였다. 마지막으로, 합성한 시편의 양생조건 역시 계면 부착강도에 영향을 미친다는 것을 확인하였다.

While ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) is commonly reinforced with micro straight steel fibers in existing applications, studies have indicated that the use of deformed steel macro-fibers leads to enhanced ductility and post-peak responses for UHPC structural elements, which is of particular importance for earthquake-resistant structures. However, there are potential concerns regarding the use of UHPC reinforced with macro-fibers due to the issues of workability and fiber distribution. The objective of this study was to address these issues by extensively investigating the restricted and non-restricted deformability, filling ability, horizontal and vertical velocities, and passing ability of UHPC containing macro hooked-end steel fibers. A new approach is suggested to examine the homogeneity of fiber distribution in UHPC. The influences of ultra-fine fillers and steel macro-fibers on the workability of fresh UHPC and the mechanics of hardened UHPC were examined. It was found that although increasing the ratio of quartz powder to cement led to an improvement in the workability and tensile strain hardening behavior of UHPC, it reduced the fiber distribution homogeneity. The addition of 1% volume fraction of macro-fibers in UHPC improved workability, but reduced its compressive strength, which is contrary to the effect of micro-fiber inclusion in UHPC.

Ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) is recognized as a promising material in future civil engineering projects due to its outstanding mechanical and durability properties. However, the lack of local UHPC materials and official standards, especially for prestressed UHPC structures, has limited the application of UHPC. In this research, a large-scale prestressed bridge girder composed of nonproprietary UHPC is produced and investigated. This work has two objectives to develop the mixing procedure required to create UHPC in large batches and to study the flexural behavior of the prestressed girder. The results demonstrate that a sizeable batch of UHPC can be produced by using a conventional concrete mixing system at any precast factory. In addition, incorporating local aggregates and using conventional mixing systems enables regional widespread use. The flexural behavior of a girder made by this UHPC is investigated including flexural strength, cracking pattern and development, load-deflection curve, and strain and neutral axis behaviors through a comprehensive bending test. The experimental data is similar to the theoretical results from analytical methods based on several standards and recommendations of UHPC design.

Ultra High Performance Concrete(UHPC) has compressive strength higher than 180 MPa. The use of steel fibers in the dense UHPC matrix increases tensile strength, ductility and bond strength between UHPC and rebars. However, to apply the advance material behavior of UHPC to the design of a structure, we need design formulas. The crack formula is one of them. This paper investigated experimentally the bond behavior of a rebar and K-UHPC, the UHPC developed by Korea Institute of Construction Technology, and, modified CEB-FIP crack formula based on the test. In addition, this paper tested the crack behavior of K-UHPC reinforced with rebars to verify the modified crack formula. The result showed that the modified formula is reasonable to predict the width of cracks in the reinforced K-UHPC structures.

Ultra high performance concrete (UHPC) can be used in the UHPC-steel composite structures especially for bridge structures to achieve high stiffness and high fatigue resistance with low self-weight. The structural performances of UHPC-steel composite slabs subjected to hogging moment have a significant influence on the global stiffness and durability of UHPC-steel composite structures. In order to study the structural behaviors of non-steam-cured UHPC-steel composite slabs subjected to negative moment, five composite slabs combined the thin UHPC layers to steel plates via shear stud connecters with the diameter of 16mm were fabricated and tested under negative moment. The test program aimed to investigate the effect of stud spacing and longitudinal reinforcement ratios on the failure mode, load-deflection behaviors, cracking patterns, bond-slips, and carrying capacities of composite slabs subjected to negative moment. In addition, direct tensile tests for the dog-bone UHPC specimens with longitudinal reinforcement bars were carried out to study the effect of reinforcement bars on the tensile strength of UHPC in the thin structure members. Based on the experimental results, analytical models were also developed to predict the cracking load and ultimate load of UHPC-steel composite slabs subjected to negative moment.

본 논문에서는 UHPC 바닥판과 강재 거더를 이용하여 합성보를 구성할 때, UHPC 바닥판의 높은 강도와 강성으로 인하여 합성보 구성 시에 강재 거더의 상부 플랜지를 없앤 역T형 거더를 적용하고자 하였다. 그러나 현재까지 강재 복부에 설치되는 전단연결재에 대한 거동, 역T형 강거더 합성보의 휨거동 특성 등은 실험 및 이론적으로 평가된 적이 거의 없는 실정이다. 이를 위하여 UHPC 압축강도, 전단연결재 간격 및 바닥판 두께 등을 변수로 하는 역T형 거더와 UHPC바닥판 합성보 16개의 휨거동 실험결과를 근간으로 하여 실험결과와 UHPC의 인장연화 거동을 고려한 재료모델 해석결과를 비교하였다. 역해석에 의한 인장연화곡선에서 UHPC의 인장강도는 6.57 MPa(120MPa의 경우) 및 9.57 MPa(150MPa의 경우)를 나타내고 있으며, 전단연결재 간격이 좁을수록 실험결과와 해석결과가 명확하게 근접하는 겻으로 나타났으며, 바닥판 두께가 두꺼우며 UHPC 압축강도가 작을수록 동일한 경향이나, 이 영향은 다소 작은 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 실험결과와 해석결과를 종합적으로 비교하면, UHPC 합성보의 실험결과와 해석결과는 비교적 잘 일치하고 있으므로 재료 실험으로부터 산정된 인장연화곡선은 UHPC의 실제 거동을 합리적으로 반영한다고 판단된다.

UHPC를 이용한 구조물 설계가 이루어지기 위해서는 우선적으로 재료의 역학적 거동 특성을 명확히 규명하여야 하며, 일반 콘크리트와 비교할 때 가장 큰 특징은 구조적으로 유효한 인장강도 및 인장거동이다. 따라서 UHPC를 활용한 적절한 설계가 되기 위해서는 특히 UHPC의 인장거동의 특성을 나타내는 구성모델의 확립이 무엇보다 중요하다고 말할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 UHPC의 인장거동을 실험 및 해석을 통해 규명하고자 하였다. 프랑스 SETRA/AFGC에서 제시한 설계기준(안)과 일본 JSCE에서 제시한 초고강도 섬유보강 콘크리트의 설계 s시공지침(안)과의 비교를 통해 UHPC의 인장 연화거동과 인장응력-변형률 관계에 대해 합리적인 거동모델을 제시하였다.

Ultra high performance concrete (UHPC) has aroused interest around the world owing to superior mechanical and durability properties over conventional concrete. However, the application of UHPC in practice poses difficulties due to its inherent brittleness. UHPC filled in steel tube columns (UHPC-FSTCs) are capable of restricting the brittle failure of non-reinforced UHPC columns and forming a high performance member with enhancement of strength and ductility. Currently, research on UHPC-FSTCs remains very limited and there is relatively little information about the mechanical behavior of these columns. Therefore, this study presents a review of past experimental studies to have a deeper insight into the compressive behavior of UHPC-FSTCs under axial loading on entire section and on concrete core. Based on the test results obtained from Schneider (2006) and Xiong (2012), an analysis was conducted to investigate the influence of the confinement index (${\xi}$) and diameter to steel tube thickness ratio (D/t) on the strength and the ductility in short circular UHPC-FSTCs. Furthermore, the appropriateness of current design codes including EC4, AISC, AIJ and previous analytical models for estimating the ultimate loads of composite columns was also examined by the comparison between the predictions and the test results. Finally, simplified formulae for predicting the ultimate loads in two types of loading pattern were proposed and verified.

An active study on UHPC, which has been recently used in high-rise building and bridges, is in progress. However, research on bonding shear strength of UHPC is required to be studied due to the lack of information. In this study, experimental research progress for bonding shear strength (shear strength of adhesive surface) evaluation of UHPC (Ultra High Performance Concrete) is proceeded. First, specimens that surface treatment methods of concrete bonded section and retardation time of placement are considered are produced. Second, Direct Shear test is applied on concrete bonded section of UHPC. As a result of this study, the highest bonding shear strength specimen in which compared to the non-retardation time specimen is compaction turbulence treatment. From later study, it is judged that strength of UHPC in accordance with direction of steel fiber when steel fiber of UHPC is mixed.
