And, through compressive strength test, Impact Echo method, shock reverberation technique and numerical analysis on 1, 3, 7 and 28 days of age
This study is to evaluate performance of two-way acting insulated sandwich wall panels through flexural experiment. The two-way acting panel resists wind loading on the panel and on the window. In this study, GFRP(Glass Fiber-Reinforced Polymer) Grid-type shear connectors are used for the composite action of the sandwich wall panels. Layouts of shear connector are considered as main parameter of this experimental study.
This study investigates the effect of surface coating materials on the level of resistance of concrete carbonation. For the surface coating materials, paint (Pa), waste cooking oil (WCO) and waste cooking oil + paint (WCO + Pa) were prepared and applied on the surface of concrete specimens after exposure to accelerated carbonation environment for four weeks.
When RC members are subjected to chemical attack such as aggressive substances, the surfaces of member are seriously degraded. In this paper, an experimental study is executed to investigate the characteristics of flexural behavior of surface degraded reinforced concrete member. According to results, it is seemed that the surface degradation affect the load capacity, fracture energy, neutral axis depth and rigidity of RC members.
To promote applicability of steel bridge coating diagnosing system developed and used by Korea Expressway Corporation, problems found in deterioration degree evaluation standard for steel bridge coatings were revised in this study. Suitability of revised evaluation standard was confirmed by field survey.
In spite of advantages of the use of CNT, one of the largest obstacles to improve strength of CNT composites is the difficulty of getting a good dispersion of the carbon nanomaterials in a matrix. We tried to mix CNT composites with some of surfactant for getting a good dispersion and compared the results of compressive strength test.
This research was performed to evaluate physical properties of polysulfide epoxy overlay material for bridge deck, as part of a review for possibility of domestic of epoxy polymer concrete binder for thin bridge deck pavements. After mix test, carry out experiment such as harden, viscosity, tensile, compressive strength and Ultraviolet ray test for evaluate strength and durability characteristics. The tests showed that the results, met the criteria suggested by the ACI in hardness, viscosity, tensile strength and compressive strength. Furthemore, a comparsion of the in this study and goods of Transpo.co in USA, this study were excellent.
As Concrete is construction materials which is unevenly mixed with cement, aggregate and water, compressive strength and modulus of elasticity is an important factor to seize movement of structures. The purpose of this study is to investigate a correlation compressive strength and modulus of elasticity according to the size of structures, and also to analyze and compare to prediction equation of many countries.
In this study, KS F 2438 was used to investigated the modulus of elasticity of high performance concrete (HPC) of replacement fly ash, and test results were compared with existing equations. Korea, America and Japan have to use cylinder specimens by KCI(2011). However, in this study was used cubic specimens and the experimental variable of this study is size of cubic specimens.
In this study, we evaluated the long-term properties of long-tern pontoon concrete which has excellent mechanical properties and CO2 reduction effect. The low-carbon pontoon concrete was substituted unit weight of cement partly with ground granulated blast furnace slag to secure the durability and eco-friendly. As a result, the low-carbon pontoon concrete was better long-term properties than plain concrete.
This study investigated the effect of surface water on concrete substrate on adhesive strength in tension of very high flowable SBR-modified cement mortar. Polymer cement ratio(P/C) were 10, 20, 30, 50 and 75% and the weight ratio of fine aggregate to cement were 1:1 and 1:3. The specimens obtained with different P/C and C:F were characterized by unit weight, flow test, crack resistance and adhesion test. Three selected specimens among these tested specimens were studied about the effect of surface water evenly sprayed on concrete substrate on adhesive strength.
The objective of this study is to investigate the elasticity of high performance concrete replacement blast furnace slag. Experimental variables of this study are modulus(100×100mm, 150×150mm). And test results were compared with existing equations.
