Recently, the use of high strength concrete is increasing in order to increase of high-rise building. High strength concrete has properties that are weak in fire. In severe case, buildings have risk of collapse owing to occur spalling. For these reasons, the authors think it is required to conduct various study about thermal and mechanical properties of high strength concrete in fire. This study analyze thermal and mechanical properties of high strength concrete at elevated temperature to use composite fibers mixed method which is one of method to prevent spalling.

Because significant difference between normal concrete and fiber reinforced ultra-high strength concrete under tension and compression, bond behavior also have significant difference. Based on the finite element analysis of bond test specimens, crack initiation and propagation process were investigated. Analysis results have been validated with test results and crack initiation stress was investigated.

This study reviews past literatures relevant to concrete beams using recycled aggregates (RAs) and investigate existing shear design equations for reinforced concrete (RC) beams. Then, a simplified, emprical design equation to determine the shear strength of high strength RC beams with RAs is proposed and compared with existing equations. The analysis indicated that the proposed equation provided the most accurate estimated of strength of high strength concrete beams with RAs.

In this study, A preliminary research has been attempted by design and strength analysis on a series of precast ultra high-strength concrete slab systems in order to evaluate. To compare with conventional reinforced concrete slabs, current slab systems can improve serviceability and ultimate load capacities, crack control, and durability, so as to apply in long span, lightweight, and slender building slab systems.

Based on the test results of walls with Grade 550 MPa and aspect ratio of 2.0, it was found that the behavior of the wall is close to that of wall with Grade 420 MPa, which is the maximum permissible strength of shear reinforcing bars in ACI 318 (or ACI 349). The findings can be used as an evidence to increase the permissible maximum strength of shear reinforcing bars for shear walls with aspect ratio less than 2.0 in ACI 318(or ACI 349).

Autogenous shrinkage isn't currently defined in Korean Highway Bridge Specifications. Accordingly, the structural analysis was carried out to reflect the contents on the autogenous shrinkage of the Eurocode(fib Bulletin 55 : Model code 2010). As a result, we examined the possible initial crack caused by the autogenous shrinkage.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the correlation of the ultrasonic velocity and the compressive strength according to the strength zone. According to results of the experiments, in the results of including early age compressive strength, correlation of compressive strength and ultrasonic velocity was high. It is determined that Ultrasonic velocity in the high strength section is not significantly affected by moisture.

This study is a basic research for estimating compressive strength of the high strength concrete by utilizing mechanical impedance method.

Later, if an additional verification is carried out, it is determined to be possible to use a mechanical impedance method in the field.

The energy absorption capacity of ultra high performance fiber reinforced concretes (UHPFRCs) was investigated at high strain rates (45 – 92 s-1) using a strain energy frame impact machine. The UHPFRCs investigated in this study showed much higher energy absorption capacity, fracture energy, ranging 42 and 71 kJ/m2 at high strain rates than that (31 and 43 kJ/m2) at static rate. The energy absorption capacity of UHPFRC at high strain rates was strongly dependent on fiber type and fiber volume content.

The intent of this research is to apply DOE in mix proportioning of high strength self-compacting concrete (HSSCC) and to assess the effect of different process parameters on HSSCC. The effect of water-binder ratio, cement content, fine aggregate percentage, fly ash content and superplasticizer content on compressive strength, passing ability, and manufacturing cost were studied.

For the safe design of steel-concrete composite structure, usable yield strength of steels are limited in most of design standard. However, this limitation sometimes cause the uneconomical design for some kind of members such as slender columns which was affected by elastic buckling load. For the economical design for slender columns, parametric study of RCFT (Rectangular CFT) with high-strength steel is conducted, especially investigating the limitation of yield strength of high-strength steels. Using ABAQUS, finite element analysis program, the finite element model was constructed and calibrated with experimental study for RCFT with high strength steel which have yield strength up to 680MPa. Investigated design parameters are yield strength of steel, compressive strength of concrete, steel thickness and slenderness ratio. The effect of desgn parameters were compared with design standard, KBC-09. From the parametric study with 54 models and previous test specimens, RCFT can be safely design with higher yield strength of steels than currently limited by KBC for large range of slenderness ratio.

고강도 그라우트재가 적용된 해상 풍력 발전 타워 자켓-파일 연결부의 설계를 위하여, 국외 해상풍력발전 타워 설계기준에서 제공하고 있는 그라우트 연결부 설계기준을 검토하였다. 해상 풍력 발전 타워 자켓-파일 기초의 연결은 sleeve의 내측과 파일의 외측에 링 모양의 전단키를 설치하고, 그 사이를 모르터로 채워 연결하는 방식으로 적용된다. 현재 DNV-OS-J101 및 NORSOK 등의 설계기준에서는 모노파일의 연결부 형식과 자켓-파일 연결을 모르터를 이용한 연결방법으로 설계기준이 정립되어 있으나, 설계기준별로 추천하고 있는 그라우트재의 강도는 상이하다. 본 연구에서는 콘크리트의 압축강도(fck), 전단키의 높이(h), 전단키의 간격(s) 및 그라우트 간격(tg)에 따른 연결부의 강도를 분석하기 위하여, 재료비선형 유한요소해석을 이용하여 구조적 거동분석을 수행하였다. 전단키의 간격에 따른 모르터와 전단키의 파괴양상을 확인하였으며, 이를 설계기준에서 제시하고 있는 강도와 비교하였다. 해석 결과를 이용하여 설계기준에서 제시하고 있는 전단키의 간격별 파괴모드와 유한요소해석결과의 파괴모드를 비교분석하여, 고강도 그라우트재의 적용성을 평가하였다.

이 논문은 고강도 콘크리트를 사용한 철근콘크리트 외부 보-기둥 접합부의 실험결과를 보고한 것이다. 실험체의 주요 실험변수는 접합부 파괴모드, 콘크리트 압축강도, 철근의 정착 방법이다. 모든 실험체는 ACI 352R-02 기준에 바탕을 두어 J파괴와 BJ파괴가 되도록 계획하였다. 주철근은 90도 표준갈고리로 하거나 확대머리철근으로 하였다. 실험결과는 콘크리트 압축강도에 제한되는 현행 ACI 설계 기준식이 고강도 콘크리트를 사용한 보-기둥 접합부의 강도를 다소 과소평가하고 있음을 보여준다. 또한 확대머리철근을 가진 J파괴형 보-기둥 접합부의 강도는 표준갈고리를 가진 접합부보다 약 10% 이상 높게 평가되었다.

The purpose of this experimental study is to evaluate that KCI2012 equation for the development length, ldt, of headed bars can be used to calculate the lap length of headed deformed bars in grade SD400~500 for high strength concrete. Test results showed that specimens with lap lengths equal to 1.3ldt had maximum flexural strengths as 0.84~0.90 times as the nominal flexural strengths. These observations indicate that 1.3 is unsuitable to the tensile lap length of headed deformed bars in grade SD400~500 for high strength concrete.

This research investigated the effects of adding micro fibers on the direct tensile behavior of ultra-high-performance hybrid-fiber-reinforced concrete (UHPHFRC) at high strain rates. Macro fiber was long smooth fiber (LS, Df=0.3mm, Lf=30mm) and micro fiber was short smooth fiber (SS, Df=0.2mm, Lf=13mm). The volume content of macro fibers was 1.0% and the volume content of micro fibers varied between 0.0 and 1.0%. The addition of micro fibers clearly increased the tensile strength of UHPHFRCs even at high strain rates.

Recently, the trend toward larger structures continues and accelerates demand for ultra-high-strength concrete (UHSC) which satisfies structural performance. Most of researchers study on the method to increase the strength of ultra-high-strength concrete for the demand of construction market. For the application, however, ultra-high-strength concrete was needed lots of experimental study from material properties and mechanical properties to evaluate structural behavior. Currently, the design standard for concrete shrinkage and creep is limited to a range of 20 MPa to 70 MPa. It should be compensate the previous design standard to using for ultra-high-strength concrete. the ultra-high-strength concrete is appeared large autogenous shrinkage and crack may be occurred in less shrinkage once water to binder ratio is small and unit binder is large. The ultra-high-strength concrete is subjected to critical influence on micro-cracking owing to the small porosity. It should be considered the long-term behavior likely shrinkage and creep while the architectural buildings and long-span bridges are designed. In this study, therefore, the long-term behavior of ultra-high-strength concrete was investigated the parameters of water to cement ratio.
