As an alternative to conventional explosive methods for demolition of concrete structures and rocks, the use of non-explosive demolition agents can be considered to reduce noise, vibration, and dust emissions during the demolition process. In this study, we conduct finite element analysis for crack initiation and propagation caused by the expansion of non-explosive demolition agents in square concrete structures. The predicted crack patterns are compared with the experimental results in the literature. The minimum values of the required expansion pressure of non-explosive demolition agents are also estimated, which depend upon the arrangement of non-explosive demolition agents and empty holes. Furthermore, we investigate the effect of empty holes on the fragmentation of concrete structures, and discuss the effective arrangement of non-explosive demolition agents and empty holes for fragmentation improvement.

When reinforcing an existing reinforced concrete beam-column building with a precast concrete panel, special connection between the PC member and the RC member is required to solve the time dependent deformation of the RC member and to receive the large shear forces. The aim of this study is to obtain the shear strength of upper connection between the existing RC beam-column and infilled PC wall panels in experimentally and theoretically. Thus, the static shear loading tests were conducted on the 6 specimens with the plate connection. Shear failure was resulted from the weakest portion of interior PC panel, exterior RC, and the connection, when the PC portion which located at the center of specimen was pulled upward from the bottom. T he experimental result was compared with analytical result from ACI 318M-14 Chapter 17 for the shear strength of post-installed anchor and PCI Handbook 7th edition 6.8 Structural Steel Corbel (PCI Design Handbook 7th edition, 2010) for the strength of cast-in H-beam. The analytical and experimental results show final failure at the same location. The failure loading of experiment showed larger than average 6% to that of the analysis.

In this study, refined finite element (FE) analyses intended to evaluate the capacity of the existing water purification plant structures against seismic force are conducted with an aim to predict possibility generating tension crack and compression crushing. The FE models for three types of main plant structures were constructed to take ground condition, boundary condition, and water interaction into consideration for advanced simulation. The nonlinear dynamic analyses were performed by using ground motion data which have been used for seismic design. Both compression crushing and tention crack, which are distributed over concrete plant structures during peak ground acceleration (PGA), are investigated by analyzing failure possibility controlled with the strain limits. After observing FE analysis results, it is possible to predict tenstion cracking which can be found at some parts of the main structure.

Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) bars have advantages as a construction material, including corrosion resistance, lightweight and high tensile strength. However, FRP rebars have shortcomings, such as low elastic modulus comparing to the steel rebar. With these reasons, FRP bars have not been widely used to reinforced-concrete (RC) structures. To overcome these shortcomings, the steel-hybrid GFRP rebars were developed by the authors at Korea Institute of Civil Engineering and Building Technology (KICT). Mechanical properties of the developed steel-hybrid GFRP rebars were experimentally evaluated through this study. Both tensile and bonding tests were conducted and the mechanical performance was investigated as well as corrosion resistance. As a result of all tests, elastic modulus, tensile strength and boding strength of the steel-hybrid GFRP rebars were all improved in comparison with fully GFRP rebars.

1970년대 이후 한국의 빠른 경제성장 동안에 수로나 철도 등 많은 지중구조물들이 건설되었다. 1988년에 내진설계가 의무 화되었으나, 1988년 이전의 지중 구조물들은 내진설계가 반영되지 않았다. 따라서, 이러한 지중 구조물들은 지진이 일어났을 때 안전성을 확보하기 위해 효과적인 내진 보강방법이 필요하다. 그러한 이유로, 본 연구에서는 새롭게 개발된 보강재를 이 용한 RC 박스 지중 구조물 우각부 보강공법의 내진성능에 대하여 분석하였다. 이 공법은 박스구조물 우각부에 Pre-flexed member를 설치하여 외력에 저항력을 증대시키는 원리이다. 타당성을 검증하기 위해서 새로이 개발된 보강재와 기존의 보강 재를 실험과 유한요소해석으로 비교하였다. 유한요소모델에서 강재의 비선형 모델은 J2 Plasticity Model을 기초로 하고 콘 크리트는 CEB-FIP MODEL CODE 1990로 모델링되었다. 또한, 설계반영을 위한 박스 구조물과 보강재와의 합성률을 산정 하였다. 보강재와 박스구조물은 Tie에 의해 완전 부착된 상태의 연결조건 하에서 해석이 수행되었으며, 하중-변위곡선에서 실험과 유한요소해석의 결과가 서로 일치하였다.

최근 신재생 에너지 중 하나인 풍력발전에 대한 관심이 증가하고 있다. 풍력발전은 토지구입비, 소음문제에 자유로운 해상풍력으로 추세가 옮겨가고 있으며 이를 위한 연구개발이 전 세계적으로 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 그러나 해상에 위치한 풍력발전을 위한 설계기준은 국내, 국외 모두 없는 실정이다. 이 점을 고려하여 국내, 국외의 구조설계기준인 도로교 설계기준, 항만 및 어항 설계기준, DNV OS를 참고하여 다중 파일기초 콘크리트 지지구조물(MCF)의 내진해석을 수행하여 결과를 비교하였다. 또한 시간에 의한 효과를 확인하기 위하여 시간이력 해석 또한 수행되었다. 부가질량법(Added-mass method)을 사용하여 물과 구조의 상호작용을 고려하였고 물의 유무에 따라 구조물의 반응을 비교하였다.

As a preparation of a design standard regarding road facilities, such as cantilever columns for traffic lights, optimum design and risk assessment for foundation of street lights on highways are proposed. The preliminary evaluation of optimization with reliability assessment resultantly makes it possible to reduce not only the duration of construction but the cost of construction as well. Ultimate limit states and constraints functions are selected for the sliding, overturning and settlement of the foundation under external loads from super and sub-structures itself. An example foundation under the super structure of height 12m, is optimized as 30% decreased embedded depth of foundation, in which as increasing the depth of embedded connection parts, the necessary depth of foundation is deceased. However, the optimum depths and the reliability indices are sensitively dependent with earth properties and dimensions of foundation.

PURPOSES : The purpose of this paper is to investigate the application of thermoelectric technology to concrete structures for harvesting solar energy that would otherwise be wasted. In various fields of research, thermoelectric technology using a thermoelectric module is being investigated for utilizing solar energy. METHODS: In our experiment, a halogen lamp was used to produce heat energy instead of the solar heat. A data logger was used to record the generated voltage over time from the thermoelectric module mounted on a concrete specimen. In order to increase the efficiency of energy harvesting, various factors such as color, architecture, and the ability to prevent heat absorption by the concrete surface were investigated for the placement of the thermoelectric module. RESULTS : The thermoelectric module produced a voltage using the temperature difference between the lower and upper sides of the module. When the concrete specimen was coated with an aluminum foil, a high electric power was measured. In addition, for the power generated at low temperatures, it was confirmed that the voltage was generated steadily. CONCLUSIONS: Thermoelectric technology for energy harvesting can be applied to concrete structures for generating electric power. The generated electricity can be used to power sensors used in structure monitoring in the future.

폐유리는 화학성분 중 70% 이상이 실리카(SiO2) 성분으로 시멘트와의 반응시 포졸란 작용 및 기타 충전 재의 역할이 기대되기 때문에 폐유리를 콘크리트 품질개선을 위한 환경 친화적 혼화재로서 활용할 수 있는 방안에 대한 연구가 학계에서 일부 발표다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 자동차 폐부품인 폐유리의 재활용 방안을 모색하기 위하여 폐유리 미분말을 콘크리트 결합재의 20%까지 치환하여 대체율에 따른 모르타르와 콘크리 트의 기초물성 실험을 통해 도로 소구조물 및 콘크리트포장 활용성에 대한 기초자료를 제시하고자 한다. 본 연구에서는 폐유리 미분말 대체율에 따른 콘크리트의 기초 물성 실험으로 슬럼프, 공기량, 압축강도 를 수행하였고 역학적 특성 평가를 위해 탄성계수와 길이변화 시험을 수행하였다. 또한 내구성 평가를 위 해 탄산화, 염소이온침투저항성, 동결융해 저항성 시험을 수행하였다. 폐유리 미분말 활용을 위한 물성 시험결과, 대체율 10%까지는 슬럼프와 공기량은 증가하는 것으로 나타 났으며 폐유리 미분말 대체율에 따라 압축강도와 탄성계수가 저하하는 경향을 나타냈으나 탄성계수는 저하 폭이 상대적으로 작은 것으로 분석되었다. 또한 수축 특성은 폐유리미분말 대체율 변화에 따른 차이가 크지 않은 것으로 분석되었다. 압축강도 값은 대체율이 증가할수록 저하하는 경향을 나타내었다. 탄산화와 염소 이온침투저항 특성은 대체율이 증가함에 따라 감소 경향을 나타내었다. 동결융해저항성은 대체율 20%의 경 우에도 상대동탄성계수가 90%를 상회하므로 동결융해저항성에 미치는 영향은 크지 않을 것으로 판단된다. 폐유리 미분말 대체율에 따른 시험 결과를 종합할 때 폐유리미분말 5~10%를 치환할 경우 일반 시멘트를 사 용하는 경우와 유사한 성능을 나타내어 도로구조물 활용시 적용이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

The purpose of this study is to develop a new seismic resistant method by using precast concrete wall panels for existing low-rise, reinforced concrete beam-column buildings such as school buildings. Three quasi-static hysteresis loading tests were experimentally performed on one unreinforced beam-column specimen and two reinforced specimens with L-type precast wall panels. The results were analyzed to find that the specimen with anchored connection experienced shear failure, while the other specimen with steel plate connection principally manifested flexural failure. The ultimate strength of the specimens was determined to be the weaker of the shear strength of top connection and flexural strength at the critical section of precast panel. In this setup of L-type panel specimens, if a push loading is applied to the reinforced concrete column on one side and push the precast concrete panel, a pull loading from upper shear connection is to be applied to the other side of the top shear connection of precast panel. Since the composite flexural behavior of the two members govern the total behavior during the push loading process, the ultimate horizontal resistance of this specimen was not directly influenced by shear strength at the top connection of precast panel. However, the RC column and PC wall panel member mainly exhibited non-composite behavior during the pull loading process. The ultimate horizontal resistance was directly influenced by the shear strength of top connection because the pull loading from the beam applied directly to the upper shear connection. The analytical result for the internal shear resistance at the connection pursuant to the anchor shear design of ACI 318M-11 Appendix-D except for the equation to predict the concrete breakout failure strength at the concrete side, principally agreed with the experimental result based on the elastic analysis of Midas-Zen by using the largest loading from experiment.

This study aims at developing a new seismic resistant method by using precast concrete wall panels for existing low-rise, reinforced concrete beam-column buildings such as school buildings. Three quasi-static hysteresis loading tests were performed on one unreinforced beam-column specimen and two reinforced specimens with U-type precast wall panels. Top shear connection of the PC panel was required to show the composite strength of RC column and PC wall panel. However, the strength of the connection did not influence directly on the ultimate loading capacities of the specimens in the positive loading because the loaded RC column push the side of PC wall panel and it moved horizontally before the shear connector receive the concentrated shear force in the positive loading process. Under the positive loading sequence(push loading), the reinforced concrete column and PC panel showed flexural strength which is larger than 97% of the composite section because of the rigid binding at the top of precast panel. Similar load-deformation relationship and ultimated horizontal load capacities were shown in the test of PR1-LA and PR1-LP specimens because they have same section dimension and detail at the flexural critical section. An average of 4.7 times increase in the positive maximum loading(average 967kN) and 2.7 times increase in the negative maximum loading(average 592.5kN) had resulted from the test of seismic resistant specimens with anchored and welded steel plate connections than that of unreinforced beam-column specimen. The maximum drift ratios were also shown between 1.0% and 1.4%.

In this study, we classified the structures into minor-damage column (URM), moderate-damage column (URO), and severe-damage column (URS), depending on the RC column of damage degree, and reinforced columns with the UHMWPE fiber in order to perform modeling of the structures. Then, we executed a comparative analysis with the results obtained from previous studies of NRF (non-reinforced column) and URF (column with UHMWPE fiber reinforcement). The maximum strength was increased with 14.91% of URF, 14.05% of URM, 14% of URO, and 6.5% of URS on the basis of NRF and the columns with minor and moderate damages exhibited the similar stiffness as that of the URF.

PURPOSES: The purpose of this study is to verify the causes of surface scaling at L-shoulder concrete structure. METHODS : From the literature reviews, mechanisms of frost damage were studied and material properties including strength, air void, spacing factor and scaling resistance of L-shoulder concrete structure were analyzed using core specimens taken by real fields. RESULTS : The spacing factor of air void has relatively high correlation of surface conditions : lower spacing factor at good surfacing condition and vice versa. If the compressive strength is high, even thought spacing factor does not reach the threshold value of reasonable durability, the surface scaling resistance shows higher value. Based on these test results, the compressive strength also provide positive effect on the surface scaling resistance. CONCLUSIONS: The main causes of surface scaling of L-shoulder could be summarized as unsuitable aid void amount and poor quality of air void structure. Secondly, although the compressive strength is not the governing factor of durability, but it shows the positive effect on the surface scaling resistance.

PURPOSES: In areas of high traffic volume, such as expressway across large cities, the amount of nitrogen oxides (NOx) emitted into the atmosphere as air pollution can be significant since NOx gases are the major cause of smog and acid rain. Recently, the importance of NOx removal has arisen in the world. Titanium dioxide (TiO2), that is one of photocatalytic reaction material, is very efficient for removing NOx. The NOx removing mechanism of TiO2 is the reaction of solar photocatalysis. Therefore, TiO2 in road structure concrete need to be contacted with ultraviolet rays (UV) to be activated. In general, TiO2 concretes are produced by replacement of TiO2 as a part of concrete binder. However, considerable portion of TiO2 in concrete cannot contact with the pollutant in the air and UV. Therefore, TiO2 penetration method using the surface penetration agents is attempted as an alternative in order to locate TiO2 to the surface of concrete structure. METHODS: This study aimed to evaluate the NOx removal efficiency of photocatalytic concrete due to various TiO2 application method such as mix with TiO2, surface spray(TiO2 penetration method) on hardened concrete and fresh concrete using surface penetration agents. The NOx removal efficiency of TiO2 concrete was confirmed by NOx Analyzing System based on the specification of ISO 22197-1. RESULTS: The NOx removal efficiency of mix with TiO2 increased from 11 to 25% with increasing of replacement ratio from 3 to 7%. In case of surface spray on hardened concrete, the NOx removal efficiency was about 50% due to application amount of TiO2 with surface penetration agents as 300, 500 and 700g/m2. The NOx removal efficiency of surface spray on fresh concrete due to all experimental conditions, on the other hand, which was very low within 10%. CONCLUSIONS: It was known that the TiO2 penetration method as surface spray on hardened concrete was a good alternative in order to remove the NOx gases for concrete road structures.

충격 및 폭발하중으로 인한 위험으로부터 구조물의 안정성을 확보하기 위한 필요성의 증대에 따라 고율변형을 받는 콘크리트의 거동은 중요한 연구주제가 되었다. 콘크리트의 고율변형 거동은 정적인 상태와는 다른 독특한 거동을 보이기 때문에 다양한 고율변형모델들이 제안되어 고율변형 상태를 수치해석하는데 사용되고 있다. 이러한 수치해석 과정에서 발생하는 문제가 요소의 크기에 따라 수치해석결과가 크게 변하는 요소의존성 문제이다. 본 논문에서는 파괴에너지이론에 기초하여 요소의존성을 최소화할 수 있는 기준식을 제안하고 HJC(Holmquist Johnson Cook)모델을 이용한 관통수치해석을 통해 기준식을 검증하였다. 그 결과 기준식을 통해 산정된 파괴변형률을 수치해석상에 적용해줌으로써 해석결과의 요소의존성이 감소하였고 해의 정확성 또한 향상되는 것을 파악할 수 있었다.

RC shear wall sections which have irregular shapes such as T, ㄱ, ㄷ sections are typically used in low-rise buildings in Korea. Pushover analysis of building containing such members costs a lot of computation time and needs professional knowledge since it requires complicated modeling and, sometimes, fails to converge. In this study, a method using an equivalent column element for the shear wall is proposed. The equivalent column element consists of an elastic column, an inelastic rotational spring, and rigid beams. The inelastic properties of the rotational spring represent the nonlinear behavior of the shearwall and are obtained from the section analysis results and moment distribution for the member. The use of an axial force to compensate the difference in the axial deformation between the equivalent column element and the actual shear wall is also proposed. The proposed method is applied for the pushover analysis of a 5- story shear wall-frame building and the results are compared with ones using the fiber elements. The comparison shows that the inelastic behavior at the same drift was comparable. However, the performance points estimated using the pushover curves showed some deviations, which seem to be caused by the differences of estimated yield point and damping ratios.
