High-performance concrete(HPC) is a new terminology used in concrete construction industry. Several studies have shown that concrete strength development is determined not only by the water-to-cement ratio but also influenced by the content of other concrete ingredients. HPC is a highly complex material, which makes modeling its behavior a very difficult task. This paper aimed at demonstrating the possibilities of adapting artificial neural network (ANN) to predict the comprresive strength of HPC. Mahalanobis Distance(MD) outlier detection method used for the purpose increase prediction ability of ANN. The detailed procedure of calculating Mahalanobis Distance (MD) is described. The effects of outlier compared with before and after artificial neural network training. MD outlier detection method successfully removed existence of outlier and improved the neural network training and prediction perfomance.

Shock absorber base assembly is one of the parts in shock absorber equipment which control the vehicle movement and absorb the shock and vibration to realize the stability and the comfort for the riding. This part demand hardness, reliance and rigorous density of the welded section because it is a resist pressure container which needs durability by being filled with gas and oil. However, the present engineering needs much time, high cost and shows low production rate due to the eight processes which are spot welding, reinforcement welding(MAG), prior process of base cap and tube for the precision and pressing etc. In this study we will analyze the problem of the processes for the base assembly and suggest an engineering to improve the problem innovatively using frictional welding. As the result of experiment by frictional welding using frictional heat, its hardness for the joining section became high and its precision showed excellence. Therefore we can expect the curtailment for the welding processes, the reduction of cost and excellent joining function.

Basic creep in concrete at an early age plays an important role in the mechancal properties of young concrete and many researches on this field have been carried out. According to recent some studies, however, it is the conclusion that for some cases the basic creep measured from the sealed concrete specimen shows inaccurate results. More specifically, for high-strength concrete (HSC), the incorrectness is more apparent due to autogenous shrinkage occurred at an early age. This paper shows the results obtained from experimental study to evaluate the effect of autogenous shrinkage on basic creep. In this study, four different mixture proportions of which primany test variable is water-cement ratio (w/c) were placed and autogenous shrinkage and basic creep tests on the specimen were performed with age and various loading levels. From this research, it was found that the differences between apparent creep and real creep were remarkable in HSC at an early age. Therefore, it is recommended to modify existing basic creep model equation by considering autogenous shrinkage.

As architectures have recently become high-risers and mega-structured, stable high strength products have been ensured. Accordingly, use of precast concrete accouplement has been increased in order to facilitate air compression and rationalize construction. Since external rising by the steam heating and internal rising by the accumulation of cement hydration heat for the temperature of members, precast concrete members with large cross-section used for high-rise mega-structure's columns and beams may exhibit different temperature history compared to the precast concrete members for wall and sub-floor with relatively small cross-sections. Therefore, this study aims to elucidate the characteristics of temperature history of mass concrete members cast with high-strength concrete for precast concrete application. In this study, large cross-sectional precast concrete mock-up, unit cement quantity, and temperature histories in manufacturing precast concrete member under different curing condition were inclusively investigated.

Recently, as architectural concrete structures become high-rise and megastructured, concrete become high-strengthened and, by ensuring products of more stability, and rationalization of construction are required.large cross-sectional precast concrete members such as columns show large temperature increase in manufacturing process not only by external heating but also by concrete itself's hydration heating. Therefore, it is expected that specimen for management to predict strength and compression strength of precast concrete member shows different strength characteristics. Conceming this, in order to suggest strength characteristics of high strength mass concrete suitable for precast concrete application, this study comprises the inclusive investigations on the relations between core strength and the strength characteristics per member cross-section dimensional value and per water-bonding material ratio value.

본 연구에서는 고강도 고내구성 시멘트콘크리트 포장을 위하여 도출된 배합 콘크리트의 굳지않은 콘크리트 특성, 강도발현 특성, 염소이온의 투수특성 및 동결-융해에 대한 저항성 등의 역학적 내구적 특성을 분석하였다. 제시된 배합의 목표스럼프와 공기량은 적절한 혼화제의 사용으로 확보가 가능하나, 혼화제의 적정사용량은 충분한 현장배합실험을 통하여 구하여야 할 것이다. 단위시멘트량을 증가한 경우 일반적으로 강도가 증가하였으며 특히 재령 28일 이후의 강도가 지속적으로 증가하는 양상을 나타내었다. 휨강도는 그 특성상 단위시멘트량을 증가하더라도 뚜렷한 효과는 나타나지 않았다. 염소이온 침투저항성도 단위시멘트량보다는 재령에 따른 영향을 더 크게 받는 것으로 나타났다. 공기량에 가장 많은 영향을 받는 동결-융해 저항성은 각 실험변수에 대한 시험체를 공기량이 3% 이하 및 이상인 경우에 대하여 그리고 동결시 수돗물을 사용한 경우와 현장의 열악한 환경을 모사하기 위하여 4%의 NaCl 용액을 사용한 경우로 구분하여 실시하였다. 공기량에 상관없이 수돗물을 사용한 경우에는 동결-융해반복회수가 300회까지 상대동탄성계수나 표면의 손상이 거의 발생하지 않았다. 4% NaCl 용액을 사용한 경우에는 단위시멘트량이 현재의 한국도로공사의 표준배합인 경우 손상이 발생하였으며, 단위시멘트량이 동결-융해 저항성에 미치는 영향이 큰 것으로 나타났다. 따라서, 동결-융해에 대한 저항성을 충분히 확보하는 고내구성의 시멘트콘크리트 포장을 위해서는 단위시멘트량을 현재의 수준보다 증가시키는 것이 유리한 것으로 판단되며, 실험결과로부터 이러한 요구성능을 발휘하기 위해서는 단위시멘트량을 400kg/m3 이상으로 할 것을 권장한다.

국내에서 시멘트콘크리트 포장이 차지하는 비율이 증가하는 수준에 비하여 이의 기술적인 발전은 상대적으로 뒤쳐져 있다고 할 수 있다. 또한, 사용기간의 증가와 함께 여러 가지 기술적인 문제점도 부각되고 있는 실정이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 외국의 콘크리트포장 배합의 특성을 분석하고 이를 기초로 한국의 실정에 부합하는 장수명의 고강고 고내구성의 콘크리트 포장의 최적배합을 도출하고자 하였다. 단위시멘트량, 잔골재율(S/a), 그리고 물-시멘트(W/C)비 등을 변수로 하여 배합에 대한 실험적 연구를 수행하였다. 장기적인 공용수명을 확보하고 고강도 고내구성의 포장을 위하여 우선적으로 단위시멘트량을 375kg/m3, 400kg/m3, 425kg/m3 수준으로 증가시킬 것을 권장한다. 또한, 최적배합표는 포장타설 장비를 활용하여 포설하므로 슬럼프 40mm로 결정하였고, 동결융해 방지를 위하여 공기량을 5%로 결정하였다. 또한 시공 시 재료 수급의 원활함을 위하여 굵은골재 최대 치수를 25mm로 결정하였다. 도로의 장수명을 위한 고강도 배합을 위해 낮은 W/C비와 단위시멘트량의 증가가 요구되는데, 예비실험 결과 공기연행제와 폴리카본산고성능 AE감수제를 사용하여 W/C비를 0.4까지 낮추어도 증가된 단위시멘트량에 대하여 충분히 목표 슬럼프를 가지는 배합이 가능한 것으로 나타났다. 예비 실험 결과 S/a를 0.34까지 낮추어도 골재의 분리 등 문제를 보이지 않고 충분히 배합이 가능하였으며, 이는 단위 시멘트페이스트 양의 증가로 인한 점착력 증가와 워커빌리티의 향상에 의한 것으로 판단된다.

Precast concrete produced in the industry is advantageous in a sense that it meets certain requiring standards and thus is easy to manage, and it saves construction period by shortening concrete curing time in the field. Nevertheless, studies on the strength evaluation of PC material by steam curing have rarely been done. In addition，as concrete becomes of high strength, it is speculated that relevant steam curing temperature history is also required. Therefore this study is on the steam curing method in manufacturing precast concrete products, and cement mortar has been used for experiments to exclude the possibility that concrete aggregate granularity and aggregate shape change may affect on strength development by cement hydration. In addition, this research is to provide the fundamental information of industrial manufacture of PC member by suggesting the optimal steam curing condition. The optimal steam curing condition has been investigated from the relations between temperature history condition and strength development, via modifying temperature patterns in various ways such as pre-tirne, curing maximaI temperature, maximaI temperature maintenance time which are factors that affect on high strength concrete product in steam curing.

본 연구에서는 콘크리트의 건조수축을 저감시키며 강도와 내구성을 높임과 동시에 콘크리트의 주간 태양광에 의한 반사도를 줄인 저수축, 저반사, 고강도, 고내구성, 콘크리트 포장재료를 개발하였다. 문헌조사를 바탕으로 건조수축 저감과 장기강도 발현에 효과가 있는 플라이 애쉬와 반사도를 저감시키기 위하여 검은색 안료를 넣고 강도와 내구성을 좋게 하기 위해 최적입도를 고려하여 배합설계를 하였다. 실내실험을 통해 검은색 안료의 첨가율에 따른 명암값과 반사율은 차이가 없는 것으로 나타났으며 최적입도를 고려하면 강도와 내구성에서 좋은 것으로 평가되었다. 또한 플라이 애쉬를 사용한 배합이 건조수축 저감에 효과가 있었으며 염화이온 침투 저항성도 높은 것으로 드러났다. 플라이 애쉬(25% 치환)와 검은색 안료(3% 첨가)를 넣고 최적입도를 고려한 배합이 건조수축과 반사율 저감, 강도와 내구성 향상에 가장 적합한 배합으로 판단하였다. 경제성 분석을 통하여 일반 콘크리트 포장보다 저수축 저반사 고강도 고내구성 콘크리트 포장이 초기공사비는 많은 것으로 분석되었지만 장기적인 관점에서 유지보수비용과 사회비용 감소로 인하여 경제성으로 타당한 것으로 나타났다.

CFT(Concrete Filled Steel Tube)기둥은 부재의 합성효과와 경제적인 측면 때문에 최근 고층건물 시공 시 널리 쓰이고 있다. 그러나 기존의 연구문헌을 살펴보면 CFT 기둥은 강관의 항복이후 강관의 일정지점에 국부좌굴이 생기는 단점을 지니고 있다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 예상 국부좌굴부위를 탄소섬유쉬트로 보강하여 국부좌굴을 방지하거나 지연시키는 TR-CFT (Transversely Reinforced Concrete Filled Steel Tube) 기둥에 관한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 고강도 콘크리트를 사용한 TR-CFT기둥의 실험을 수행하였으며 휨내력에 대한 해석을 수행한 결과 실험값과 해석값이 잘 일치하였다. 또한 기존의 ACI 318 설계법은 강관내부에서 발생하는 콘크리트에 대한 구속효과를 고려하지 않아 저평가가 되어있음을 알 수 있었다.

최근, 건설되어지는 강구조물들의 장경간화 및 고층화로 인하여 고강도강재의 적용이 점차 요구되고 있다. 고강도강재는 적용구조물들을 공간 및 두께들 감소시킴으로써 외관성 및 경제성을 증가시킬 수 있는 장점이 있다. 이러한 고강도 강재의 적용을 위해서는 좌굴에 대한 기준이 필요하나 현재 국내의 경우 이러한 좌굴에 관한 연구가 미흡하다. 이에 본 연구에서는 3차원 탄소성 유한변위 프로그램을 이용하여 고강도 박스단면 트러스 부재의 좌굴거동에 대한 해석적 연구를 수행하였다. 고강도강재를 적용한 박스단면 트러스부재의 허용 압축응력에 대한 기준을 제안하였으며 그 적용성을 확인하였다. 그리고 고강도 트러스 부재의 설계에도 적용할 수 있음을 명확히 하였다.

Recently Ultra high strength concrete is actively being developed and studied, and this trend is explained with the following effects. Technological effects expected from the application of Ultra high strength concrete include the reduction of section, the decrease of structure mass and the improvement of workability. As for the reduction of section, the use of Ultra high strength concrete is effective for plane and height, and the effect is even higher when it is applied to high-rise buildings. The decrease of concrete mass resulting from high strength is advantageous for earthquake resistance, reduces the use of earthquake-resistant members, and brings resource substitution effects. In addition, forms can be removed early thanks to self-fillability and early expression of strength resulting from the high fluidity, and this increases construction efficiency and shortens construction period. Recently there is increasing interest and investment in high-rise buildings throughout the world, and countries are competing for higher buildings in order to display national status and technological power through high-rise buildings. In addition, the use of concrete materials in steel-frame building is increasing as residential buildings are growing higher. Currently the application of Ultra high strength concrete is limited to high-rise buildings and protective buildings for special purposes. However, its application is expected to expand to attain the effects of Ultra high strength concrete. For this purpose, we tested the field applicability of Ultra high strength concrete using simulated members. Mixture ratios derived from basic experiment were tested using reduced simulated members. Using the obtained results, the decrease of hydration heat and the increase of compression strength were compared and the optimal mixture ratio was selected. Concrete of the selected mixture ratio was produced at a ready-mixed concrete factory and placed at a construction site using a pump car. Through the experiment on field applicability, we presented basic materials on the construction-related and mechanical characteristics of Ultra high strength concrete.
