In this paper, possibility of cracks in fast hardening track has been analyzed with consideration of shrinkage of fast hardening concrete. To evaluate tensile stress on fast hardening track, the analysis considers restrain effects by frictions due to subgrade and rail fastener. The analysis results indicated that the maximum tensile stress in fast hardening track increased as the continuous casting length of fast hardening concrete increased. To prevent cracks due to shrinkage, it was investigated that the continuous casting length be less than 66.9 m.

In this study, an experimental evaluation was made on the change of the pull - out performance of BFRP concrete interface after repairing cracks on the lower surface of reinforced concrete by using basalt fiber which is environment friendly and heat - resistant compared to glass fiber. The test standard was ASTM D7522 / D7522M, and the influence factor was considered as the crack thickness. Test results showed that the fracture pattern was the same regardless of the crack thickness and the bond stress was measured similarly.

The damage caused by the earthquake is not only the structural damage, but also the damage caused by the functional damage of the non - structural element. However, the criteria for seismic design for non - structural elements such as electrical panels are insufficient compared to those for seismic design for structural damage. In this study, the performance of the anchor bolt connecting between electric panel and concrete slabs installed in a power plant according to the occurrence of crack was investigated by experiment.

콘크리트 구조물에서 균열은 수축, 수화열 및 외부하중 등에 의해 발생하는 불가피한 현상으로, 외부 유해인자를 콘크리트 내부로의 침투를 용이하게 하여 내구성을 크게 감소시킨다. 최근 스스로 균열을 치유하는 자기치유 콘크리트에 대한 연구가 활발히 수행되고 있다. 또한 콘크리트에 발생하는 균열을 제어하여, 그 성능을 극대화하기 위한 자기치유 섬유 보강 콘크리트의 연구가 수행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 PVA 섬유를 혼입한 자기치유 모르타르를 제작하였다. PVA 섬유 혼입율에 따른 압축강도 및 휨 성능 평가를 수행하였다. 또한, 흡수율 실험을 통해 자기치유 성능평가를 수행하였으며, 시간에 따라 균열 폭의 감소로 흡수되는 수분의 양이 감소하는 것을 확인하였다. 자기치유 생성물 분석을 통해 PVA 섬유 혼입에 의해 탄산칼슘 침전이 더 유리한 것으로 확인되었다.

Acoustic Emission (AE) technique applied to detect the crack occurrence of the actual beam element. An optimum position for a limited number of AE transducer was considered to accurately detect the location of the cracks in the three-dimensional space. Six AE transducer was used to detect cracks in the L400mm×H200mm×T100mm region, and several position combinations were applied. Considerable six position combinations were selected, and the weak or incorrect position detection was investigated. The optimum position applied to the experiment for actual beam element and the detected crack position was compared with the visual inspection location. A reliable crack position detecting was confirmed for loadings.

최근 자기치유 재료에 대한 연구는 보수하기 힘들거나, 보수비용이 많이 소요되는 구조물에 대해 구조물 스스로 손상을 치유하여 사용수명을 증가시키기 위해 많이 수행되어오고 있다. 현재 널리 사용되고 있는 자기치유 평가 방법으로는 투수시험이 있다. 하지만, 자기치유 평가 방법에서 자기치유 성능은 콘크리트의 초기 균열 폭에 큰 영향을 받지만 일관된 기준을 가지고 있지 않은 실정이다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 기존 연구에서 사용한 균열 폭과 투수량을 기반으로 균열 폭-투수량의 상관관계와 시간-투수량의 상관관계를 분석하였다. 또한, 광학현미 경을 이용하여 측정한 초기 균열 폭은 신뢰성이 떨어지므로 Poiseuille flow에서 α값을 도출하여 시간-균열 폭에 대한 상관관계를 분석하여 시간-투수량과 시간-균열 폭에 대한 경향을 분석하였다.

A notch beam test has been carried out for SFRC-SCC for precast slab tracks in accordance with BS-EN-14651. The steel fiber used is a product of Beckert, which is further processed with a general steel fiber and a steel fiber end(named as 3D, 5D). Overall, the crack behavior of the specimen using 5D fiber was superior to that of using 3D fiber

This paper presents the applicability and reliability of the crack detection technique of concrete structures developed based on the use of digital image analysis technologies through on - site tests. The problem of aging of infrastructure is a serious threat to the national and national security and there is a growing interest in the development and application of effective inspection and maintenance techniques for related infrastructure. Therefore, instead of the existing traditional manpower-based infrastructure inspection and maintenance techniques, which involve lots of time and money consumption and reliability of results, research using digital image analysis technology is actively being carried out.

The basis of capacity design has been explicitly or implicitly regulated in most bridge design specifications. It is to guarantee ductile failure of entire bridge system by preventing brittle failure of pier members and any other structural members until the columns provides fully enough plastic rotation capacity. Brittle shear is regarded as a mode of failure that should be avoided in reinforced concrete bridge pier design. To provide ductility behavior of column, the one of important factors is that flexural hinge of column must be detailed to ensure adequate and dependable shear strength and deformation capacity. In particular, this study focused on assessing transverse reinforcement contribution to the column shear strength. Transverse reinforcement contribution measured during test. Each three components of transverse reinforcement contribution, axial force contribution and concrete contribution were investigated and compared. It was assessed that the concrete stresses of all specimen were larger than stress limit of Korea Bridge Design Specifications.

This paper presents the surface-wave based non-destructive evaluation on crack repairing performance in concrete. Concrete specimens with different crack depths and identical compositions were prepared for surface wave transmission experiments. Cracked concrete specimens were perfectly repaired through epoxy injections, and recovery of transmission coefficients and spectral energy were confirmed in process of crack repairing. Additionally, the effectiveness and feasibility of spectral energy based assessment techniques for the evaluation of crack in concrete is also investigated.

This paper proposes a deep learning-based crack evaluation technique using hybrid images. The use of the hybrid images combining vision and infrared images are able to improve crack detectability while minimizing false alarms. In particular, large-scale infrastructures can be inspected by an UAV-mounted hybrid image scanning (HIS)　system, and the corresponding huge amount of data is typically difficult to be analyzed by experts. To automate such making-decision process, deep convolutional neural network is used in this study. As the very first stage, a lab-scale HIS system is developed using a scanning zig and experimentally validated using a concrete specimen with various-size cracks. The test results reveal that macro- and micro-cracks are successfully and automatically detected with minimizing false-alarms.

Concrete structure for nuclear power plant is mass concrete structure with large wall depth and easily permits cracking in early age due to hydration heat and drying shrinkage. It always needs cooling water so that usually located near to sea shore. The crack on concrete surface permits rapid chloride intrusion and also causes more rapid corrosion in the steel. In the study, the effect of age and crack width on chloride diffusion is evaluated for the concrete for nuclear power plant with 6000 psi strength. For the work, various crack widths with 0.0~1.4 mm are induced and accelerated diffusion test is performed for concrete with 56 days, 180days, and 365 days. With increasing crack width over 1.0mm, diffusion coefficient is enlarged to 2.7~3.1 times and significant reduction of diffusion is evaluated due to age effect. Furthermore, apparent diffusion coefficient and surface chloride content are evaluated for the concrete with various crack width exposed to atmospheric zone with salt spraying at the age of 180 days. The results are also analyzed with those from accelerated diffusion test.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the crack characteristics of concrete by comparing the previously developed transparent bubble sheet and the aluminum deposited bubble sheet whose surface is exposed by applying to the walled structure apartment actually constructed. The aluminum deposited bubble sheet was developed for the purpose of temperature reduction through heat reflection.

We know that the failure of high performance concrete pavement occurs in the aspects of its structure, environment, material, and construction. We have been able to identify the reason why no construction should be permitted when average daily temperature is below 4 degree celsius. We must pay careful attention to the curing management and comply with the standards of concrete production and construction.

Soundless Chemical Demolition Agent (SCDA) has been spotlighted for demolition of concrete structure or rock near or in urban areas and historical places since it does not produce dust or rock fragmentations compared to explosive and gas pressure blasting methods. However, there is no guideline or design code for the demolition of existing structures using SCDA. In this study, numerical analysis using ABAQUS is conducted in order to find a minimum required pressure for the initiation of crack in concrete body with SCDA and obtained results in this study could be a basic data for design of hole spacing for the demolition of the structures using SCDAs.

최근 건축물의 보수․보강 및 리모델링시 구조부재를 부착시키거나 고정하는데 있어서 시공의 유연성 및 용이성으로 부착식 후설치 앵커의 사용량이 증가하고 있는 실정이다. 그동안 후설치 앵커중 확장식 앵커시스템에 대한 내력평가는 지난 10년간 실험을 통한 연구가 지속 되어 설계기준 제정등 어느정도 정립단계에 있으나 부착식 앵커시스템에 대한 해석 및 실험적 연구는 아직 미비한 실정이다. 따라서 현재 우리 나라에서는 설계자와 시공자가 신뢰할 수 있는 명확한 설계기준이 없는 상태로서 외국의 설계기준에 의존하고 있는 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 부착식 케미컬 앵커를 대상으로 연단거리 및 앵커간격 그리고 하중방향에 따른 전단실험을 통하여 무근콘크리트에 매입된 케미컬 앵커의 부 착강도에 미치는 영향을 규명하고 합리적인 케미컬 앵커의 설계기준 제정을 위한 기초자료를 제공하는 것을 목적으로 한다.

The depth of a surface-breaking crack in a concrete slab is characterized by using airborne surface wave transmission measurements. Two air-coupled sensors are used to measure surface waves across surface-breaking cracks with varying depths from 0 mm to 100 mm in a concrete slab (1500 X 1500 X 180 mm3). Resulting transmission coefficient and crack depth relation from a series of experimental studies shows a good agreement with theoretical results previously obtained by the author.

During maintenance, we closely examined the reinforced section where concrete has cracked at the time of cable installation.
