In addition, the effect of the UHPC block on the load support performance and its contribution to vertical deflection was verified.

본 연구는 초고강도 콘크리트판, 그라우팅 및 모체 콘크리트 내에 후크와 스터드로 연결한 합성접합부의 전단 실험 을 수행하고 그 거동을 파악하고자 한다. 압축강도 35 MPa, 50 MPa 및 90 MPa 그라우팅의 강도, 4종류의 전단연결재 배치를 실험변수로 총 12개의 시험체를 제작하였다. 합성접합부의 전단력은 그라우팅 콘크리트의 압축강도에 따라 비례적 관계를 가지 고 있다. 휨모멘트가 지배적인 힘이 아니고 면적이 크며 서로 다른 시기에 콘크리트를 친 경계면 합성체에서 콘크리트 전단력 은 무시할 정도 크기가 아니다. 콘크리트 모체 압축강도보다 그라우팅의 압축강도가 크다면 접합부에서 콘크리트 전단력이 유 의미하게 크며 전단연결재를 병용하면 더 큰 전단력을 얻을 수 있다.

There has been increasing interest in UHPC (Ultra-High Performance Concrete) materials in recent years. Owing to the superior mechanical properties and durability, the UHPC has been widely used for the design of various types of structures. In this paper, machine learning based compressive strength prediction methods of the UHPC are proposed. Various regression-based machine learning models were built to train dataset. For train and validation, 110 data samples collected from the literatures were used. Because the proportion between the compressive strength and its composition is a highly nonlinear, more advanced regression models are demanded to obtain better results. The complex relationship between mixture proportion and concrete compressive strength can be predicted by using the selected regression method.

In this study, we propose a new truss deckplate system, which does not require temporary floor supports during construction, with ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) infilled top bars. The increased stiffness and strength of the proposed system were well retained as compared to those of the existing truss deckplate systems, thereby resulting in the reduction of maximum deflection at the span center. Four-point bending tests were performed on five specimens with a net span of 4.6 m to evaluate the structural performance of proposed system in the construction stage. In addition, the load-deflection curve was plotted for each specimen, and the effects of test parameters were analyzed. Further, a rigorous nonlinear three-dimensional finite element analysis was performed, and its results were compared with the test results. From the results, it was observed that the test specimens of the proposed system exhibited superior performance as compared to those of the existing one and also satisfied the serviceability requirement during construction provided by the Korea Building Code 2016.

Since 1990’s, many researches about ultra high performance concrete have been conducted. Compare to conventional concrete, it shows significantly high compressive and tensile strength so that leads to reduce the self weight of structures. However, the use of slender member may meet the buckling failure that is not common phenomenon in concrete structures so far. Most design codes have not suggested any provisions for buckling limit states and very few of researches have been conducted for buckling of concrete girders. In this study, a number of finite element analysis were carried out to investigate the buckling behavior of UHPC I-shaped girders.

This study investigates characteristics on inelastic flange local buckling of ultra high performance concrete (UHPC) plate supported by one edge. The UHPC plate were modeled using 3D shell elements (S4R) and analyzed using by geometric and material nonlinear analysis. The plates for FE analysis were supported by pined and fixed boundary conditions to considering constrained effects of one web. The inelastic local buckling strength from the FE analysis were evaluated according to the flange slenderness ratios. The results shows that material non-linearities of tensile behavior of UHPC highly affects the inelastic local buckling of UHPC plate.

This study investigates elastic flange local buckling of ultra high performance concrete (UHPC) I-girders. The girders were modeled using 3D shell elements (S4R) and analyzed by eigenvalue analysis. Then, the flange local buckling strength from the FE analysis were evaluated according to the flange and web slenderness ratios and compared to the local buckling strength of steel girders. The results shows that the flange local buckling of UHPC I-girders are underestimated compared to the strength of steel girders which has same geometric cross sections and further studies needed related to this field.

This study investigates the flexural shear strength of ultra high performance concrete I-girder. The effect of aspect ratio on the flexural - shear strength of UHPC was analyzed using finite element analysis. The UHPC I-type girder was modeled using 3D shell elements and analyzed using geometric and material nonlinear analysis. The boundary condition is simple support condition and a displacement load is applied to the center of the upper flange. The results shows that shear strength decreased as the aspect ratio increased and the bending-shear failure of UHPC I-girder does not occur even at larger moment than ordinary concrete due to the cross-linking action of steel fiber.

Prestress is a reinforcement method to control crack due to moment on concrete girders with low tensile strength. In the existing literature, it is mentioned that prestress for ordinary concrete affects not only crack control but also shear strength enhancement. As the construction material improves, UHPC(Ultra-HIgh Performance Concrete) with excellent strength and ductility has been developed by combining ultra-high strength concrete and steel fiber. However, study on the effect of prestress on the shear strength of UHPC with different material properties from ordinary concrete is lacking. Therefore, in this paper, the effect of prestress on the shear behavior of UHPC I-girder is studied by finite element analysis. As a result of the analysis, it has been confirmed that the prestress increases crack strength and shear strength of UHPC.

Concrete has been widely used for material of bridge girder. However, Concrete is considered as inefficient material for long-span girder. Because it has low material strength compared with those of steel girder, huge cross sectional area are required to have same strength of steel girder bridges. UHPC(Ultra High Performance Concrete) as new material is developed to supplement this weakness of concrete. UHPC has high compressive strength and show softness behavior due to it is reinforced by fiber. If UHPC has no any reinforcement for shear, diagonal tension crack failure is dominant like normal concrete. So, reinforcement for shear is essential and prestress is efficient method of reinforcement for UHPC due to high compressive strength. However, design equation for shear strength suggested by K-UHPC Certification(2012) do not consider prestress effect. Therefore, this study investigate effect of prestress for shear strength of ultra high performance concrete I-girder by using finite element analysis program

This study proposes flexural failure design criteria of continuous slabs enhanced by a hybrid system of fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) and ultra high performance concrete (UHPC). The proposed hybrid retrofit system is designed to be placed at the top surface of the slabs for flexural strengthening of the sections in both positive and negative moment zones. The enhancing mechanisms of the proposed system for both positive and negative moment regions are presented. The neutral axis of the enhanced sections in positive moment zone at flexural failure is enforced to be in UHPC overlay for preventing the compression in FRP. From this condition, a relationship between design parameters of FRP and UHPC is established. Although the capacity of the proposed retrofit system to enhance flexural strength and ductility is confirmed through experiments of one-way RC slabs having two continuous spans, the retrofitted slabs failed in shear. To prevent this shear failure, a design criteria of flexural failure is proposed.

In this study, sodium chloride is directly mixed with binders in order to simulate harsh environments by promoting the corrosions of fibers and cement-based matrix including UHPC (Ultra High Performance Concrete). The experimental variables are the amount of sodium chloride and material composition such as UHPC, high strength mortar, and normal mortar. The experimental results show that UHPC has the superior capability to resist chloride ions due to its dense microstructures.

The joints in this construction are formed through the bonding shear evaluation method during the placement of ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC). The evaluation items include push-off tests for homogeneous UHPC + UHPC. The experimental samples comprised a monolithic placement as the baseline, two levels for the separated placement according to the compression strength of concrete, and five levels for the interface treatment. The bonding shear performance for the homogeneous UHPC + UHPC construction linearly increased with the width and depth of the grooves used for the interface treatment. The increase in the number of grooves and their cross-sectional areas only slightly influenced the bonding shear performance. The optimal interface treatment method for the homogeneous UHPC + UHPC construction grooves was at least 30 mm.
