A numerical model that can simulate the nonlinear behavior of ultra high strength fiber-reinforced concrete (UHSFRC) structures subject to monotonic loadings is introduced. Since engineering material properties of UHSFRC are remarkably different from those of normal strength concrete and engineered cementitious composite, classification of the mechanical characteristics related to the biaxial behavior of UHSFRC, from the designation of the basic material properties such as the uniaxial stress-strain relationship of UHSFRC to consideration of the bond stress-slip between the reinforcement and surrounding concrete with fiber, is conducted in this paper in order to make possible accurate simulation of the cracking behavior in UHSFRC structures. Based on the concept of the equivalent uniaxial strain, constitutive relationships of UHSFRC are presented in the axes of orthotropy which coincide with the principal axes of the total strain and rotate according to the loading history. This paper introduces a criterion to simulate the tension-stiffening effect on the basis of the force equilibriums, compatibility conditions, and bond stress-slip relationship in an idealized axial member and its efficiency is validated by comparison with available experimental data. Finally, the applicability of the proposed numerical model is established through correlation studies between analytical and experimental results for idealized UHSFRC beams.

The objective of this paper is to investigate and analyze the behaviour of prestressed I section structural members constructed with ultra high perfomance steel fiber reinforced cementitious concrete (SFR-UHPC). This material is known as reactive powder concrete (RPC) mixed with domestic materials and its compressive strength is over 150MP. The parameters of test specimens were span to depth ratio, prestressing force, prestressing wire placement and web width. Most influential parameter to determine the failure mode between shear and flexural action was proved to be shear span ratio. The characteristics of ultra high-strength concrete is basically brittle, but due to the steel fiber reinforcement behaviour of this structure member became ductile after the peak load. As a result of the test, the stress block of compressive zone should be redefined. The proposed analytical calculation of internal force capacity based by plastic analysis gave a good prediction for the shear and flexural strength of specimens. The numerical verification of the finite element model which constitutive law developed for Mode I fracture of fiber reinforced concrete correctly captured the overall behaviour of the specimens tested.

본 연구는 전단철근이 없는 초고강도 섬유보강 콘크리트 프리스트레스 I형거더의 극한전단파괴하중 산정에 대한 이론적 근거를 마련하는데 있다. 9개의 초고강도 섬유보강 콘크리트 거더에 대한 극한 전단하중을 측정하였다. 전단하중을 산정하기 위한 해석식은 두 경계이론을 근거로 유도되었다. 섬유가 부담하는 전단력 산정모델은 섬유가 방향과 길이면에서 균일하게 분포한다는 가정하에서 구성되었다. 본 논문에서 제안한 초고강도 섬유보강 콘크리트 거더에 대한 전단강도식을 기존의 섬유보강 콘크리트 전단강도식과 실험에 의한 전단하중과 비교한 결과 비교적 정확한 산정값을 보여주었다.

본 연구에서는 하이브리드 강섬유로 보강된 초고성능 콘크리트(UHPC)의 휨거동 특성을 파악하고자 하였다. 부피비 1.5%의 하이브리드 강섬유를 혼입하여 철근비가 0.02 이하인 부재의 실험을 통해 주요 휨거동 특성을 파악하였다. 본 연구결과는 추후 UHPC의 휨강도 산정 모델링에 실제적인 기초실험자료로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다. 하이브리드 강섬유 보강 UHPC는 균열제어에 효과적이며, 연성지수는 9.2~15.2 범위에 분포하고 있어 우수한 연성거동 특성을 나타낸다. 또한, 순수 휨 구간 내에 스터럽을 배근한 부재의 휨강도는 스터럽을 배근하지 않은 부재의 휨강도와 유사하며, 이 실험연구의 150 mm 간격 정도의 스터럽 배근은 강섬유 배열 및 휨강도에 영향을 미치지 않는다고 판단된다.

This paper presents an experimental study on the structural performance of an innovative ultra-high performance fiber reinforced concrete (UHPFRC) deck with coarse aggregate of composite bridge under shear force. Test parameters included curing method and shear span-to-height ratio. Test results indicated that more short fine cracks developed beside the existing cracks due to the randomly dispersed fibers, resulting in re-distributing and homogenizing of the concrete stress beside cracks and allowing for the occurrence of more cracks with small spacing compared to normal strength concrete beams. Curing methods, incorporating steam curing and natural curing, did not have obvious effect on the nominal bending cracking strength and the ultimate strength of the test specimens. Shear reinforcement need not be provided for UHPFRC decks with a fiber volume fraction of 2%. UHPFRC decks showed superior load resistance ability after the appearance of cracks and excellent post-cracking deformability. Lastly, the current shear provisions were evaluated by the test results.

Over last decade extensive researches have been undertaken on the strength behaviour of Fiber Reinforced Concrete(FRC) structures. But the use of Ultra-High Strength Steel Fiber Cementitious Concrete Composites is in its infancy and there is a few experiments, analysis method and design criteria on the structural elements constructed with this new generation material which compressive strength is over 150 MPa and characteristic behaviour on the failure status is ductile. The objective of this paper is to investigate and analyze the behaviour of reinforced rectangular structural members constructed with ultra high performance cementitious composites (UHPCC). This material is known as reactive powder concrete (RPC) mixed with domestic materials and its compressive strength is over 150MP. The variables of test specimens were shear span ratio, reinforcement ratio and fiber quantity. Even if there were no shear stirrups in test specimens, most influential variable to determine the failure mode between shear and flexural action was proved to be shear span ratio. The characteristics of ultra high-strength concrete is basically brittle, but due to the steel fiber reinforcement behaviour of this structure member became ductile after the peak load. As a result of the test, the stress block of compressive zone could be defined. The proposed analytical calculation of internal force capacity based by plastic analysis gave a good prediction for the shear and flexural strength of specimens. The numerical verification of the finite element model which constitutive law developed for Mode I fracture of fiber reinforced concrete correctly captured the overall behaviour of the specimens tested.

Ultra High Performance Fiber Reinforced Concrete (UHPFRC) has a outstanding tensile hardening behaviour after a crack develops, which gives ductility to structures. Existing shear strength model for fiber reinforced concrete is entirely based on crack opening behavior(mode I) which comes from flexural-shear failure, not considering shear-slip behavior(mode II). To find out the mode I and mode II behavior on a crack in UHPFRC simultaneously, maximum shear strength of cracked UHPFRC is investigated from twenty-four push-off test results. The shear stress on a crack is derived as variable of initial crack width and fiber volume ratio. Test results show that shear slippage is proportional to crack opening, which leads to relationship between shear transfer strength and crack width. Based on the test results a hypothesis is proposed for the physical mechanics of shear transfer in UHPFRC by tensile hardening behavior in stead of aggregate interlocking in reinforced concrete. Shear transfer strength based on tensile hardening behavior in UHPFRC is suggested and this suggestion was verified by comparing direct tensile test results and push-off test results.

본 연구에서는 이음된 초고강도 강섬유보강콘크리트 부재의 휨거동을 검토하고, 현행설계기준의 초고강도 강섬유보강콘크리트 구조물의 이음 설계에 대한 안전성을 평가하기 위해 총 6개의 보에 대한 가력 실험을 수행하였다. 주요 변수는 섬유의 혼입여부와 이음 길이로 설정하였다. 혼입된 섬유는 강섬유로 2%의 부피비로 결정하였으며, 이음길이는 8db와 16db로 결정하여 실험체를 제작하였다. 실험 결과 섬유로 보강되지 않은 실험체들은 이음부에서 급격한 하중지지능력을 상실하고 철근의 항복을 경험하지 못하였으나, 섬유로 보강된 경우 16db의 이음길이가 확보되면 주인장철근의 항복을 경험할 수 있으며, 적절한 휨강도를 발현할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구의 실험결과를 바탕으로 현행설계기준 및 초고강도콘크리트 구조설계지침의 이음길이 산정식들을 검토한 결과 모두 보수적인 평가를 하고 있는 것으로 나타났다.

이 연구에서는 강섬유 혼입률에 따른 초고성능 강섬유 보강 콘크리트(UHPC)의 압축거동에 관한 연구를 수행하였으며, 실험결과를 바탕으로 강섬유 보강 콘크리트의 압축강도와 탄성계수를 제안하였다. 지름 100 mm, 높이 200 mm의 원주형 공시체에는 0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 그리고 2%의 강섬유가 혼입되었다. 실험에 사용된 UHPC는 굵은골재를 사용하지 않았으며, 16 mm와 19 mm의 강섬유가 일정비율로 혼입된 하이브리드 강섬유가 사용되었다. 실험결과, UHPC의 압축강도와 탄성계수는 강섬유 혼입률에 따라 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 실험결과를 바탕으로 강섬유 보강 콘크리트의 압축강도와 탄성계수가 제안되었다. 강섬유 보강 콘크리트의 압축강도는 무보강 콘크리트의 압축강도의 함수로 제안되었으며, 탄성계수는 강섬유 보강 콘크리트의 압축강도의 함수로 제안하였다. 기존 실험값과 비교한 결과 제안된 압축강도와 탄성계수는 실험값을 비교적 잘 예측하는 것으로 나타났으며, 압축강도가 35~235 MPa인 강섬유 보강 콘크리트에 적용가능 할 것으로 판단된다.

Ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) is one of the most promising construction materials because it exhibits high performance, such as through high strength, high durability, and proper rheological properties. However, it has low tensile ductility compared with other normal strength grade high ductile fiber-reinforced cementitious composites. This paper presents an experimental study on the tensile behavior, including tensile ductility and crack patterns, of UHPC reinforced by hybrid steel and polyethylene fibers and incorporating plastic beads which have a very weak bond with a cementitious matrix. These beads behave as an artificial flaw under tensile loading. A series of experiments including density, compressive strength, and uniaxial tension tests were performed. Test results showed that the tensile behavior including tensile strain capacity and cracking pattern of UHPC investigated in this study can be controlled by fiber hybridization and artificial flaws.
