This paper examines the effect of steel fiber volume fraction on compressive and flexural properties of high-strength concrete with compressive strength of 40 MPa. The fiber volume fractions used in this study consist of 0.5, 0.75 and 1.0%. The prisms with 150x150x550 mm were made and tested in accordance with EN-14651.

This paper describes the experimental results for the structural performance of full-scale coupling beams with different reinforcement layout (diagonal and horizontal). For the reinforcements of the coupling beams, high-strength steel bars(SD500 and SD600) were used in order to improve workability and economic feasibility. The rigid steel frames and linked joints were used to maintain the clear span length (distance between both shear walls) of the coupling beam during the cyclic loading. Experimental results indicated that the diagonally reinforced coupling beam specimen could exhibit more ductile behavior compared to horizontally reinforced specimen. ACI318-14 code is applicable to design of coupling beam with diagonally reinforcement, however, that is overestimating the strength of horizontally reinforced coupling beam. It is remarkable that effective elastic stiffness values of both reinforcement details coupling beam significantly lees than ASCE 41-13.

This paper investigates the effect of amount of Paraffin-encapsulated phase change material (PCM) on the thermal energy storage of cement mortar for developing energy saving concrete. The PCM with melting point of 44℃ was used in this study. The added amounts of PCM in the cement mortar were 0, 10, 20 and 30% of cement weight. The results indicated that the heat storage properties of cement mortar was improved with increasing contents of PCM.

This paper provides the flexural test results of steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) prisms with different aspect ratios of steel fibers (60 and 67). All mixtures have specific compressive strength of 40 MPa and steel fiber volume fraction of 0.75%. According to ASTM C 1609 and EN-14651, SFRC prisms with 150×150×550 mm were made and tested under bending loading. Test results indicated that the aspect ratio of hooked-end steel fibers has insignificant effect on the first-cracking strength and flexural behavior of SFRC prisms.

This paper presents the flexural test results of steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) prisms with different lengths of steel fibers. The specified compressive strength of SFRC is 40 MPa. Two types of steel fiber used in this study have lengths (0.5 and 0.9mm). Test results indicated that steel fibers with longer length is more effective to improve the flexural performance of concrete prisms than steel fibers with shorter length.

This paper describes the hydration heat properties of cement composite different with phase change material (PCM) type. The test results indicated that use of barium materials has more effective to delayed time of hydration of cement composite. On the other hand, strontium based PCM more effective to reduction of hydration heat of cement composite.

This paper describes the effects of tensile strength and aspect ratio of steel fiber on flexural behavior of high-strength SFRC notched beam. Test results indicated that flexural properties of SFRC improved with increasing in aspect ratio and tensile strength of steel fiber.

This paper describes adhesive performance of between concrete and surface-material with different compressive strength and HPP (High Performance Polymer). To measure adhesive strength between concrete and surface-material flexural specimen(100×100×400 mm) with HPP were made and tested. The test result indicated that HPP was effective on low compressive strength than high compressive strength.

In recent year to improve the seismic behavior of conventional link beams, some efforts have been made by providing special reinforcement material, or using steel link beams as substitutes. In this study to facilitate the constructability and meanwhile ensure desirable seismic behavior, an innovative type of replaceable steel frame link beam was conceived and studied

Coupled shear wall systems, which consist of two or more in-plane shear walls interconnected with link beams, are frequently used in medium and high-rise buildings. In this study, an innovative type of replaceable steel angle for link beam, was conceived and studied.

As viable substitutes for reinforced concrete link beam, the use of alternlate link beam and composite coupling beams have also been investigated by several researchers. In this study to enhance the post-damage repair capability of the link beam, a different type of replaceable link beam with angle connection was investigated.

Based on the study of researchers carried about SFRC, it was found that SFRC was effective to achieve flexural toughness according to higher volume fraction. On the other hand, higher volume fraction did not effect at compressive strength and toughness.

This paper describes the influence of recycled materials on the flowability of steel fiber-reinforced cement composites. For the FRCC, fly-ash and recycled sand were used as recycled materials. The recycled materials were mixed with replacement ratios of 25% and 50%. As reinforcing fiber for the FRCC, micro steel fibers were used. Based on the test results, flowability of FRCC was improved when fly-ash was replaced. Increase of recycled sand had FRCCs exhibited lower flowability.
