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.

In order to determine fragility curves, the limit state of piers for each damage level is suggested in this paper based on the previous test results in Korea, including our test results. In previous studies, the quantitative measures for damage levels of piers have been represented by curvature ductility, lateral drift ratio, or displacement ductility. These measures are transformed to lateral drift ratios of piers for consistency, and the transformed values are compared and verified with our push-over test results for flexural RC piers with a circular cross-section. The test specimens are categorized concerning the number of lap-splices in the plastic hinge region and whether seismic design codes are satisfied or not. Based on the collected test results in Korea, including ours, the lateral drift ratio for each pier damage level is suggested.

본 논문에서는 철계형상기억합금(Fe SMA) 스트립으로 능동구속된 콘크리트 기둥의 실험적, 해석적 연구결과를 제시한다. Fe SMA과 탄소섬유보강시트(CFRP)로 각각 구속된 콘크리트 공시체의 압축실험을 통해 형상기억합금 기반 능동구속기법의 효과성을 평가하였다. 실험결과, Fe SMA 스트립으로 구속된 콘크리트 공시체가 낮은 구속력에도 불구하고 CFRP 시트로 구속된 공시체에 비 해 더 우수한 변형능력을 가지는 것으로 밝혀졌다. 실험을 통해 얻은 구속된 콘크리트의 압축거동 결과를 이용해 소성힌지 영역이 각 각 Fe SMA 스트립과 CFRP 시트로 보강된 콘크리트 기둥의 유한요소모델을 구축하였다. 기존 수행된 콘크리트 기둥의 수평반복가력 실험결과를 바탕으로 구축된 기둥 모델을 검증하였고, 각각의 기둥 모델에 대한 수평반복가력 해석을 수행하였다. 해석결과, Fe SMA 스트립으로 보강된 콘크리트 기둥이 CFRP 시트로 보강된 기둥모델에 비해 변형, 에너지 소산능력 향상에 효과적임을 확인하였다.

본 연구는 ACI 등 규정에 없는 FRP 보강 콘크리트의 복보강에 대한 설계흐름도를 제시하였으며, 단보강과 복보강을 비교, 분석하였다. 다양한 파라미터 연구를 통해서 각각 단보강일 때의 이점과 복보강일 때의 이점을 분석하였다. 콘크리트의 단면이 작을수록 보강량이 클수록 복보강의 휨성능이 유리하며, 반대의 경우는 단보강이 유리한 것으로 나타났다. 콘크리트의 단면을 크게 하는 것이 FRP 보강량을 크게 하는 것보다 효과가 좋으며, 콘크리트 단면 중에서 콘크리트 높이를 크게 하는 것이 효과가 우수하게 나타났다. 콘크리트의 설계기준강도가 클수록, FRP의 탄성계수가 작을수록 단보강이 유리하며, 반대의 경우는 복보강이 유리한 것으로 나타났다.

이 연구는 다방향성 바잘트 섬유 시트로 보강한 철근콘크리트 보의 보강방법에 따른 전단거동을 실험을 통해 확인하 였다. 실험변수는 보강방법(무보강, 45도 90도 U형)과 보강겹수(0, 1 2겹)를 변수로 두었으며 전단강도실험결과 바잘트섬유시트 를 90도로 1겹 보강하였을 때 최대 11% 이상의 보강성능을 확인하였다. 또한, 유효변형률을 검토한 결과 섬유양이 증가함에 따 라 유효변형률이 감소함을 확인하였다.

콘크리트 충전강관은 국부좌굴을 방지하고 내화성이 향상되기 때문에 건설현장에서 많이 적용되며 휨성능을 향상시 키기 위해 강관 내부에 철근을 보강하여 사용한다. 그러나 철근은 부식되며 내구성이 저하되기 때문에 이를 대신할 소재에 대 한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 탄소섬유보강근은 철근에 비해 경량이며 고강도와 내부식성이 우수하다는 이점이 있다. 그러나 임계 온도가 250℃로 철근의 임계온도인 538℃에 비해 현저히 낮기 때문에 내화피복이 필요하다. 따라서 열전달해석을 통해 탄소섬 유보강근을 사용하였을 때 온도분포를 확인하고 P-M상관도를 도출하여 적용 가능여부를 확인하고자 한다. 해석결과 내화성능을 확보하기 위해 콘크리트 피복두께 40mm, 뿜칠내화피복재 30mm를 적용하거나 콘크리트 피복두께 60mm, 뿜칠내화피복재 20mm 를 적용하면 3시간 내화성능을 만족하는 것으로 평가되었다.

본 논문은 철계형상기억합금(Fe-SMA) stirrup으로 전단보강된 철근콘크리트 보의 전단거동을 예측하기 위한 해석적 연구이다. 전단거동 예측을 위해 변형률 적합조건 및 하중 평형조건을 만족하는 휨해석이 수행되었으며, 이후 수정압축장이론 (MCFT)에 기반한 전단해석이 수행되었다. 부재의 처짐을 계산하기 위해 휨 및 전단에 의해 발생된 처짐이 모두 고려되었다. 제 안된 해석모델의 검증은 Ji et al.(2022)의 실험결과를 비교하여 수행되었다. 비교결과 제안된 해석모델과 실험결과의 극한하중, 극한하중 시 처짐의 오차는 평균 4.77%, 6.62%로 Fe-SMA Stirrup으로 전단보강된 철근콘크리트 보의 전단 거동을 비교적 정확 하게 예측하는 것으로 나타났다.

본 연구는 콘크리트구조기준(KDS 14-2021)을 적용한 RC보와 ACI 440.1R-15를 적용한 FRP 콘크리트의 비교 연구를 수행하였다. 파라미터 변수로 피복두께, FRP의 탄성계수 및 극한변형률 그리고 보강량 4가지로 설정하여 비교, 분석을 수행하였 다. 파라미터 연구 분석 결과 FRP의 탄성계수와 극한 변형률이 클수록 FRP 콘크리트의 휨성능이 우수하지만, 극한 응력이 동일 할 때 극한 변형률보다 탄성계수를 크게 하는 것이 유리하다. FRP 콘크리트가 인장지배 단면이나 변화구간 일 때 극한 변형률 증가에 휨성능이 비례해서 증가하지만 압축지배 단면일 경우에는 극한 변형률이 증가해도 휨성능은 증가하지 않는다. 또한, FRP 콘크리트는 최소 피복두께가 필요하지 않아 추가적인 휨성능이 17∼33% 증진 효과가 나타났다.

전 세계 각국은 탄소 배출량을 줄이기 위한 다양한 노력을 하고 있다. 지난 수십 년간 몇몇 연구자들은 탄소배출량 을 줄이기 위해서 철근콘크리트 구조에서 철근을 FRP로 대체하기 위한 연구를 수행해 왔다. FRP보강근을 휨부재로 사용하기 위한 연구는 많이 수행되어 왔으나, FRP 보강근 기둥의 성능을 평가하고 설계하기 위한 연구는 거의 이루어지지 않았다. 본 연 구는 FRP보강근 콘크리트 구조 기둥과 철근콘크리트 기둥의 P-M 상관도를 비교하고, 철근콘크리트 기둥에서 철근의 대체재로 서 FRP보강근의 활용 가능성을 제시하였고, 변수는 콘크리트의 압축강도, FRP보강근의 종류, 보강근비이다.철근을 GFRP로 대체 할 경우, 요구 GFRP 보강근의 양은 철근의 4배이며, 철근비가 4% 이상이면 동일한 단면으로는 설계할 수 없다. 편심거리비가 1.0보다 크거나 철근비가 4%보다 작은 철근콘크리트 기둥의 철근을 CFRP로 대체할 경우, 보강근의양을 1/2수준으로 줄이거나 단면 크기를 줄일 수 있다.

본 논문은 철근대체재로 Carbon fiber reinforced polymer(CFRP) 그리드가 사용된 콘크리트 부재의 휨성능을 평가하기 위한 실험적 연구결과를 보고한다. 실험에 사용된 CFRP grid의 탄성계수와 인장강도는 각각 240GPa, 3964MPa이다. CFRP 그리 드가 인장 보강재로 사용된 콘크리트 부재의 휨거동 평가를 위해 총 7개의 1방향 슬래브 콘크리트 실험체가 제작되었다. 실험 변수로 피복두께, CFRP 그리드의 보강 겹 수, CFRP 그리드의 겹침 여부가 고려되었다. 실험체의 휨거동 평가는 3점 휨실험을 통해 수행되었으며, 각 실험변수가 초기균열하중에 미치는 영향은 미미한 것으로 확인되었다. 실험체에 초기균열이 발생된 이후 응력 재분배에 의해 하중 증가 없이 CFRP grid의 변형률이 증가하는 현상이 관측되었다. CFRP 그리드 보강 겹 수가 1겹 증가 함에 따라 실험체의 극한하중은 약 8.5kN씩 선형적으로 증가하였다. 또한, 피복두께가 증가함에 따라 실험체의 극한하중 및 강 성이 감소하였으며, 그리드 겹침 여부가 실험체 극한하중에 미치는 영향은 미미하다는 것이 확인되었다. 추가적으로 실험결과와 ACI 440.1R-15를 통해 계산된 공칭 휨강도를 비교하였다. 그 결과 실험을 통해 확보된 극한강도는 ACI 440.1R-15 대비 13%∼ 24% 큰 것으로 나타났다. 따라서, ACI 440.1R-15는 CFRP grid로 보강된 콘크리트 보의 휨강도를 보수적으로 평가하고 있음이 확인되었다.

PURPOSES : Currently, the domestic construction industry is dominated by large-scale projects such as roads, ports, airports, and buildings. Construction on such projects is generally conducted simultaneously, but the process and quality management are led by a small number of responsible managers. In the case of road pavements, owing to rapid industrial development, economic growth, and the expansion of social overhead capital investment in the road construction industry, highways and general national roads have been constructed on a large scale. Therefore, this study aimed to improve and develop domestic concrete production and construction quality management by improving the reliability and transparency of production quality management and simplifying business processes. This was accomplished through the development of an Internet of Things (IoT)-based cement quality management system capable of automated design and build (D/B) construction and real-time monitoring. METHODS : The "IQ" system is a quality management system for enabling real-time monitoring of D/B quality at the time of concrete production and according to the designated age by utilizing quality test equipment developed with an LTE-Bluetooth function. It is possible to immediately identify and respond to quality problems through real-time monitoring, secure a reliable quality D/B because the quality test results cannot be arbitrarily manipulated, and to simplify the work process through the automatic D/B construction. In addition, improved quality control can be achieved through real-time information sharing and feedback system operations between contractors, managers, and personnel involved in construction. The quality control test items for developing the IQ system are the compression and flexural strengths, as these can be used to determine the design standard strength of pre-curing concretes (such as their slump and unit quantity) and the adequacy of the workability and durability, as well as the air volume to predict the durability, and the chloride content in the sections where reinforcement is used. CONCLUSIONS : This study identified difficulties and limitations in quality management according to the operation method in the domestic quality management systems, and in the real-time monitoring between managers and contractors. Thus, it was necessary to establish an improved systematic and reliable quality management system. The IQ system was developed to solve this problem.

PURPOSES : Roller-compacted concrete pavement (RCCP) is a superstiff-consistency concrete pavement that exhibits excellent strength development owing to a hydration reaction and interlocking aggregates owing to the roller compaction. A zero-slump concrete mixture is generally used. Hence, it is important to control the consistency of the RCCP mixture to prevent the deterioration of the construction quality (such as material separation during paving). The workability of the RCCP is characterized by its consistency and controlled by the Vebe time, whereas a conventional concrete pavement is controlled based on the slump test. The consistency of the RCCP changes over time after concrete mixing owing to delivery, construction time delays, etc. Thus, it is necessary to use the optimum Vebe time to achieve the best construction quality. Therefore, this study aims to develop a Vebe time prediction model for efficiently controlling the consistency of RCCPs according to random time variations. METHODS : A Vebe time prediction model was developed using a multiple linear regression analysis. A dataset of 131 samples was used to develop the model. The collected data consisted of variables with large potential effects on the consistency of the RCCP, such as the water-cement ratio (W/C), sand/aggregate ratio (S/a), water content (ω), water content per unit volume (W), cement (C), fine aggregate (S), coarse aggregate (G), water reducing admixtrue (PNS), air-entraining admixture (AE), delay time (T), air temperature (TEM), and humidity (HUM). In the multiple linear regression analysis, the mentioned parameters were used as the independent variables, and the Vebe time was the dependent variable. The Vebe time prediction models were evaluated by considering the adjusted R2 and p-values. The selection of the model was based on the largest R2 value and an acceptable p-value (p<0.05). RESULTS : The Vebe time prediction model achieved an adjusted R2 value of 64.14% with a significance level (p-value) of less than 0.05. This shows that the predictive model is adequately described for the dependent variable, and that the model is suitable for Vebe time predictions. Moreover, the significance level of the independent variables is less than 0.05, indicating significant effects on the Vebe time (i.e., the dependent variable). CONCLUSIONS : The Vebe time prediction model developed in this study can be used to estimate Vebe times with an R2 of 63.33% between the measured and predicted values. The proposed Vebe time prediction model is expected to be effectively utilized for the quality control of RCCP mixtures. Moreover, it is expected to contribute to achieving good RCCP construction quality.

PURPOSES : The purpose of this study was to investigate the characteristics of concrete pavement behaviors and performance depending on the group-axle types of heavy vehicles, such as single-, tandem-, and tridem-axles. METHODS : The concrete pavement performance indices (such as the rate of fatigue cracking and surface smoothness) according to the different group-axle types of heavy vehicles were predicted using the Korean pavement design program. It was assumed that the load magnitude was the same for each axle, and that the equivalent single-axle traffic volumes were the same for the different group-axle types. The concrete pavement stresses depending on the different group-axle types of heavy vehicles were also analyzed using a finite element analysis program. RESULTS : Based on the design criteria, the concrete pavement performance was the highest under tandem-axle traffic and lowest under single-axle traffic, although the difference in performance was not significant. Based on the structural analysis criteria, the tensile stress of the concrete pavement was the largest under the single-axle load and smallest under the tridem-axle load when the load magnitude of each axle was the same. CONCLUSIONS : Based on the results obtained from considering both the design and analysis criteria, it was concluded that the groupaxle types (such as the tandem- and tridem-axle configurations of heavy vehicles) would not increase the stress or decrease the performance of concrete pavements relative to the single-axle configuration.

Digitization and automation technologies have rapidly maximized productivity and efficiency in all industries over the past few decades. Construction automation technology has either stagnated over the same period or has not kept pace with overall economic productivity. According to the research studies up to now, the output of concrete structures using coarse aggregates (8mm or more) is very limited due to the limitations of equipment and materials. In this study, information on the development process of 3DCP equipment that can print concrete structures with the printing width (100 mm or more) and printing thickness (30 mm or more) using a 3DCP material mixed with coarse aggregate (8 mm or more) is provided. To verify the performance of the developed 3DCP equipment, experimental data are provided on output variables, the number of layers, and the inter-layer printing time interval. The evaluation and verification data of various mechanical properties (compressive and splitting tensile strength) of printed materials using coarse aggregates are provided.

Unlike the CFT retrofit method, The EPFT retrofit method, which fills the steel tube with engineering plastic, does not require a separate concrete forming work and is a lightweight seismic Retrofit Method. In this study, an prototype model of the EPFT was proposed, and to analyze the seismic performance, an independent specimens and a reinforced concrete column were fabricated to conduct a seismic performance test. As a result of loading test of the independent specimens, the strength was increased compared to the steel tube column without internal filling, and the ductility ratio did not significantly increase due to the falling off of the weld. As a result of loading test of the concrete reinforcement specimen, the strength, ductility ratio, and energy dissipation were increased, and the number of cracks by loading step decreased compared to the non-reinforced specimen.
