This paper investigates the effects of aspect ratio and volume fraction of hooked-end normal-strength steel fibers on the compressive and flexural properties of high-strength concrete with specified compressive strength of 60 MPa. Three types of hooked-end steel fibers with aspect ratios of 64, 67 and 80 were considered and three volume fractions of 0.25%, 0.50% and 0.75% for each steel fiber were respectively added into each high-strength concrete mixture. The test results indicated that the addition of normal-strength steel fibers is effective to improve compressive and flexural properties of high-strength concrete but fiber aspect ratio had little effect on the modulus of elasticity and compressive strength. As steel fiber content and aspect ratio increased, flexural beahvior of notched high-strength concrete beams was effectively improved.

More Roller-compacted concrete (RCC) is a dry concrete consisted of same materials as conventional concrete with different proportioning which requires compaction effort in order to reach its final form. Thus, both hydration and aggregate interlock play important roles in its strength augmentation. Flexural strength, an important factor in pavement design and fatigue cracking resistance, can be difficult to be obtained at in-situ and may be subjected to high variability. Even though its compressive strength is relatively high compared to conventional concrete with similar binder content, the relationship between compressive strength and flexural or tensile strength were not well defined. The goal of this research is to compare the relationship between compressive strength and flexural strength as well as the relationship between compressive strength and splitting tensile strength of RCC with those of conventional concrete using various equations suggested in other researches and also to determine new regression equations for estimating RCC’s flexural and splitting tensile strength. The positive result of RCC’s flexural strength was found; it was higher than majority of predicted values from conventional concrete for the same compressive strength. In contrast, RCC’s splitting tensile strength was relatively low compared to that of conventional concrete for the same compressive strength. Power equations were learned to be suitable for relationship between compressive and flexural strengths as well as relationship between compressive and splitting tensile strengths.

본 연구는 PVA(polyvinyl alcohol) 섬유와 VAE(vinyl acetate ethylene) 분말 폴리머를 사용한 시멘트복합체의 압축·휨강도 와 온도변화에 따른 충격파괴거동을 연구하였다. 충격시험은 -35℃, 0℃ 및 35℃의 선정된 온도조건에서 실시하였다. 본 실험에서는 시멘트 복합체와 일반 모르타르에 대한 충격파괴 에너지와 변위, 시간을 얻기 위해 낙하 충격시험기(Ceast 9350)를 사용하여 충격시험을 수행하였다. 강도 시험결과, PVA 섬유와 VAE 분말 폴리머의 휨강도는 모두 증가하였다. PVA 섬유보강 시멘트복합체의 경우 재령 28일에서의 압축강도는 약간 감소하였으나, 휨강도는 일반 모르타르 강도보다 24.4% 증가하였다. 낙하 충격시험 결과, PVA 섬유보강 시멘트복합체 시편은 섬유의 가교역할로 인한 균열발생의 억제와 에너지 분산에 의한 미세균열이 발생하였으며, 충격에 의한 배면파괴와 관통에 대하여 억제되었다. 반면 VAE 분말 폴리머 시멘트복합체와 일반 모르타르의 시편은 대부분 큰 균열이나 관통파괴 되었다. 충격하중을 받는 시멘트복합체와 일반 모르타르의 시편은 대부분 국부적인 취성파괴거동을 보이며, PVA 섬유보강에 의한 휨성능 증진으로 인해 충격에 대한 저항성능이 크게 향상되었다.

The heavyweight industrial waste was used as concrete ingredient instead of natural aggregate, however, design standard did not consider effects of heavyweight aggregate on flexural strength. Therefore, in this paper, correlation between compressive and flexural strength of concrete using industrial was compared. From the results, compressive strength and flexural strength decreased with industrial waste increasing. And, it was shown that the test results of flexural strength were higher than the predicted value from design standard.

This paper examines the effect of steel fiber volume fraction on compressive and flexural properties of high-strength concrete with compressive strength of 40 MPa. The fiber volume fractions used in this study consist of 0.5, 0.75 and 1.0%. The prisms with 150x150x550 mm were made and tested in accordance with EN-14651.

파형강판을 이용한 구조물은 기존의 철근콘크리트 구조물에 비하여 공기단축효과 및 경제성 등이 우수하고 유지관리비의 절감 측면에서 유리한 것으로 평가되고 있다. 최근 수로암거 및 생태 이동 통로등에 철근콘크리트 암거 대체 재료로 널리 활용되고 있으며 앞으로 적용실적이 더 증가할 것으로 예상된다. 파형강판을 사용한 구조물은 주로 아치형과 박스형의 두가지 형태이며, 아치형 구조물은 압축력에 의하여 설계하며 박스형 구조물은 플레이트 부재내의 모멘트에 의하여 설계한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 기존의 대골형 파형강판보다 골의 피치와 깊이가 늘어난 성능 개선된 파형강판의 성능을 평가고하고 설계에 반영하기 위해 정적 압축 시험 및 휨시험을 수행하여 시험체 두께별 이음부의 극한강도 및 모멘트 강도를 검토 하였다.
