In this paper, seismic performance evaluation was carried out for eight circular reinforced concrete columns designed seismically by KRTA[1]and KCI[8]. Primary design parameters for such columns included many longitudinal reinforcements, yield strength of reinforcements, the vertical spacing of spirals, aspect ratio, and axial force ratio. The test results showed that all the columns exhibited stable hysteretic and inelastic responses. Based on the test results, drift ratios corresponding to each damage state, such as initial yielding, initial cover spalling, initial core concrete crushing, buckling, and fracture of longitudinal reinforcement and final spalled region, were evaluated. Then, those ratios were compared with widely accepted damage limit states. The comparison revealed that the existing damage states were considerably conservative. This implies that additional research is required for the damage limit states of such columns designed seismically by current Korean design codes.

본 연구에서는 양생물주기 및 보양을 하지 않은 구조체의 압축강도와 표준 양생 공시체의 압축강도를 비교 평가하였 다. 코어채취를 위해서 980x2090x200mm3 철근콘크리트 슬래브를 준비하였으며, 콘크리트 공시체 25개를 KS F 2405에 따라서 표준 양생, 20개를 구조체와 동일한 환경에서 대기중 양생을 하였다. 실험 결과, 28일 표준공시체 압축강도 대비 코어 채취 압 축강도는 약 4MPa 낮게, 대기중 양생 공시체의 압축강도는 약 7.6MPa 낮게 측정되었다. KCS에서는 양생기간의 온도가 낮을 경 우 온도보정강도를 제시하고 있으며, 실험결과로부터 제시된 값이 적정함을 확인하였다. 7일, 14일에 측정된 대기중 공시체의 압축강도는 코어채취 공시체의 압축강도와 유사하였지만, 28일 압축강도는 현저하게 차이가 나타났다. 초기 구조체의 초기 압축 강도 예측에 대기양생 공시체를 이용하는 것은 가능하지만, 28일 압축강도를 추측하는데 대기중 양생 공시체를 사용하는 것은 무리가 있다고 판단된다.

본 연구는 형상기억합금을 이용한 능동구속기법의 콘크리트 기둥 내진보강효과를 실험적으로 평가하였다. 이를 위해 기존 니켈-티타늄계 형상기억합금보다 저렴한 철계 형상기억합금(Fe SMA)을 선정하여 능동구속기법에 적용하였다. 비내진 상세 를 가진 네 개의 동일한 원형 콘크리트 기둥을 제작한 후 기둥 하단부에 각기 다른 외부구속(무구속, CFRP 구속, Fe SMA 구속) 을 적용하였다. 정적수평반복가력실험 결과, 구속이 적용된 모든 기둥은 콘크리트 기둥의 연성적 휨거동을 이끌어내는데 효과 적인 것으로 밝혀졌다. 특히 Fe SMA 구속은 CFRP 구속에 비해 기둥 하단부 소성힌지에서 콘크리트의 박락 및 손상을 줄이는데 더욱 효과적이었다.

고성능 콘크리트(HPC) 압축강도는 추가적인 시멘트질 재료의 사용으로 인해 예측하기 어렵고, 개선된 예측 모델의 개발이 필수적 이다. 따라서, 본 연구의 목적은 배깅과 스태킹을 결합한 앙상블 기법을 사용하여 HPC 압축강도 예측 모델을 개발하는 것이다. 이 논 문의 핵심적 기여는 기존 앙상블 기법인 배깅과 스태킹을 통합하여 새로운 앙상블 기법을 제시하고, 단일 기계학습 모델의 문제점을 해결하여 모델 예측 성능을 높이고자 한다. 단일 기계학습법으로 비선형 회귀분석, 서포트 벡터 머신, 인공신경망, 가우시안 프로세스 회귀를 사용하고, 앙상블 기법으로 배깅, 스태킹을 이용하였다. 결과적으로 본 연구에서 제안된 모델이 단일 기계학습 모델, 배깅 및 스태킹 모델보다 높은 정확도를 보였다. 이는 대표적인 4가지 성능 지표 비교를 통해 확인하였고, 제안된 방법의 유효성을 검증하였다.

PURPOSES : The initial smoothness of concrete pavement surfaces must be secured to ensure better driving performance and user comfort. The roughness was measured after hardening the concrete pavement in Korea. When the initial roughness is poor, relatively large-scale repair works, such as milling or reconstruction must be performed. Hence, a method to measure the roughness of the concrete pavements in realtime during construction and immediately correct the abnormal roughness was developed in this study. METHODS : The profile of a concrete pavement section was measured at a construction site using sensors that were attached to the tinning equipment of the paver. The measured data included outliers and noise caused by the sensor and vibration of the paving equipment, respectively, which were further calibrated. Consequently, the calibrated data were input into the ProVAL program to calculate the roughness based on the international roughness index (IRI). Additionally, the profile of the section was re-measured using another method to verify the reliability of the calculated IRI. RESULTS : The profile data measured at the concrete pavement construction site were calibrated using methods, such as overlapped boxplot outlier removal and low-pass filtering. The outlier data from the global positioning system (GPS), which was installed to identify the construction distance, was also calibrated. The IRI was calculated using the ProVAL program by matching the measured profile and GPS data, and applying the moving average method. The calculated IRI was compared to that measured using another method, and the difference was within the tolerance. CONCLUSIONS : A method to measure the roughness of the concrete pavements in real time during construction was developed in this study. Hence, the performance of concrete pavements can be improved by enhancing the roughness of the pavement considerably using the aforementioned method.

A new clamped mechanical splice system was proposed to develop structural performance and constructability for precast concrete connections. The proposed mechanical splice resists external loading immediately after the engagement. The mechanical splices applicable for both large-scale rebars for plants and small-scale rebars for buildings were developed with the same design concept. Quasi-static lateral cyclic loading tests were conducted with reinforced and precast concrete members to verify the seismic performance. Also, shaking table tests with three types of seismic wave excitation, 1) random wave with white noise, 2) the 2016 Gyeongju earthquake, and 3) the 1999 Chi-Chi earthquake, were conducted to confirm the dynamic performance. All tests were performed with real-scale concrete specimens. Sensors measured the lateral load, acceleration, displacement, crack pattern, and secant system stiffness, and energy dissipation was determined by lateral load-displacement relation. As a result, the precast specimen provided the emulative performance with RC. In the shaking table tests, PC frames’ maximum acceleration and displacement response were amplified 1.57 - 2.85 and 2.20 - 2.92 times compared to the ground motions. The precast specimens utilizing clamped mechanical splice showed ductile behavior with energy dissipation capacity against strong motion earthquakes.

In this paper, the mechanical properties of glass fiber reinforced plastic (GFRP) rebar, which has been applied as an concrete reinforcement, and produced carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) grid were compared to develop a concrete reinforcement material with excellent mechanical properties. In addition, the mechanical properties of CFRP prepared with each molding process were evaluated. Three molding processes were evaluated: prepreg oven bagging, reaction injection molding (RIM), and pultrusion. The tensile strength of the CFRP grid prepared through pultrusion was 2.85GPa, the elastic modulus was 169.81GPa, and the strain was 1.68%, which was 2.85 times better in tensile strength, and 2.83 times better in elastic modulus compared mechanical properties of GFRP rebar. The strain was confirmed to be equivalent to GFRP rebar.

이 연구에서는 강관말뚝과 확대기초의 연결을 위한 유공강판 전단연결재를 개발하기 위하여 유공전단키의 형상을 결정하기 위한 인장실험과 유한요소해석을 수행하였다. 즉, 인장시험편과 같은 평판 형태의 유공강판은 펀치 형 돌기와 굴곡형 돌기의 유공전단키를 갖도록 형성하고 이을 원주형 콘크리트 내에 매립하여 인장실험을 수행하였 으며, 실험 결과는 유한요소해석 결과와 비교하였다. 또한, 유한요소해석을 수행하여 적절한 유공전단키의 종류 및 돌기 폭을 결정하였으며, 이를 통해 결정한 굴곡형 유공전단키에 대한 높이를 결정하기 위한 추가 해석을 수행하였 다. 해석 결과, 굴곡형 돌기의 경우에는 전단저항력을 최대로 확보하고 인장력의 저하를 최소화하기 위하여 돌기의 높이를 두께의 2배로 하는 것이 바람직할 것으로 판단된다.

PURPOSES : Experimental findings pertaining to the mechanical properties of calcium aluminate cement (CAC)-based repair mortars incorporated with anhydrite gypsum (AG) are described herein. METHODS : To prepare the mortars, three different levels of AG were adopted and the ratio of water–cementitious materials was fixed at 0.50. For comparison, mortar composed of ordinary Portland cement was prepared. The fluidity, setting time, compressive and bond strengths, absorption and surface electric resistivity of the mortars were measured at predetermined periods. RESULTS : The incorporation of AG increases the fluidity but decreases the setting time of the CAC-based repair material system. However, the AG in the CAC mixes does not effectively enhance the compressive strength of the mortars owing to the decreased formation of CA hydrates, such as CAH10 and C2AH8. Meanwhile, the mortar with 10% AG shows excellence absorption. CONCLUSIONS : The mechanical properties of CAC based-mortars rely significantly on the amount of AG incorporated. However, further studies regarding the microstructure and durability of CAC-AG repair mortars must be conducted to obtain the optimal mixture.

PURPOSES : In this study, a method to use magnesium phosphate ceramic (MPC) concrete for the surface maintenance of airport pavements with jointed concrete is developed. METHODS : To investigate the application of a material incorporated with MPC for the surface maintenance of airport pavements with jointed concrete, structures with various cross-sections and thicknesses were constructed. The cross-section of the structure was modeled for the surface maintenance of four types of pavements and typical pavement construction processes, such as cutting, cleaning, production and casting, finishing, hardening, and joint reinstallation. Subsequently, the hours required for each process was determined. RESULTS : The MPC concrete used for the surface maintenance of airport pavements with jointed concrete demonstrate excellent performance. The MPC concrete indicates a compressive strength exceeding 25 MPa for 2 h, and its hydration heat is 52.9 ℃~61.2 ℃. Meanwhile, the crushing and cleaning performed during the production and casting of the MPC require a significant amount of time. Specifically, for a partial repair process, a total of 6 h is sufficient under traffic control, although this duration is inadequate for a complete repair process. CONCLUSIONS : MPC concrete is advantageous for the surface maintenance of airport pavements with jointed concrete. In fact, MPC concrete can be sufficiently constructed using existing concrete maintenance equipment, and partial repair works spanning a cross-sectional area of 11 m2 can be completed in 1 d. In addition, if the crushing and cleaning are performed separately from production and construction, then repair work using MPC concrete can be performed at a larger scale.

Existing reinforced concrete building structures constructed before 1988 have seismically-deficient reinforcing details, which can lead to the premature failure of the columns and beam-column joints. The premature failure was resulted from the inadequate bonding performance between the reinforcing bars and surrounding concrete on the main structural elements. This paper aims to quantify the bond-slip effect on the dynamic responses of reinforced concrete frame models using finite element analyses. The bond-slip behavior was modeled using an one-dimensional slide line model in LS-DYNA. The bond-slip models were varied with the bonding conditions and failure modes, and implemented to the well-validated finite element models. The dynamic responses of the frame models with the several bonding conditions were compared to the validated models reproducing the actual behavior. It verifies that the bond-slip effects significantly affected the dynamic responses of the reinforced concrete building structures.

PURPOSES : The purpose of this study is to confirm the thermal expansion characteristics of concrete mixed with 1% waste glass fine aggregates, which is the amount stipulated for recycled aggregates in the current quality standard. METHODS : The coefficient of thermal expansion was measured by applying AASHTOT 336-10 using a LVDT. The results measured were used as physical properties in a finite element analysis to confirm the change in tensile stress and the displacement of the right angle section of the upper slab of a concrete pavement due to admixture substitution. RESULTS : The thermal expansion coefficients of concrete based on the replacement rate of the admixture when the waste glass fine aggregates are replaced are within the range of the thermal expansion coefficients of concrete specified in the Federal Highway Administration report. As the replacement rate of the admixture increases, the thermal expansion coefficient of concrete decreases. As the thermal expansion coefficient decreases, the slab pavement curling displacement and the tensile stress of the center of the upper slab of concrete decrease. CONCLUSIONS : In the short term, the presence or absence of waste glass fine aggregates does not significantly affect the thermal expansion coefficient of concrete. However, in the long term, waste glass fine aggregates are reactive aggregates that causes ASR, which creates an expandable gel around the aggregates and results in concrete expansion. Therefore, the relationship between ASR and the thermal expansion coefficient must be analyzed in future studies.
