콘크리트는 수화반응에 필요한 물 이외의 자유수가 증발하게 되면 건조수축이 발생하며 이로 인해 발생한 균열은 구조물의 강도 및 내구성 저하에 영향을 미친다. 이에 건조수축에 의한 균열을 억제하기 위한 대처 방안으로 강섬유를 혼입한 강섬유보강콘크리 트에 관한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 아치형 강섬유 혼입량에 따른 건조수축 특성을 파악하고 구속건조수축 변형률을 콘크 리트에 발생하는 잔류 인장응력으로 치환하여 기존 연구 결과와 비교하였다. 자유건조수축 실험을 통해 아치형 강섬유 혼입량에 따른 건조수축 변형률의 저감효과는 미미한 수준임을 확인하였다. 구속건조수축 실험 결과, 아치형 강섬유 혼입량 증가에 따라 균열의 발생 지연 및 균열 폭 저감에 효과적인 것으로 나타났다. 또한 아치형 강섬유를 60kg/m3 혼입하였을 때 무보강 콘크리트에 발생하는 잔류 인장응력에 비해 52.4% 높은 인장강도를 가지며 구속건조수축에 대한 저항성능이 향상될 수 있음을 확인하였다.

And, by analyzing the influence of learning data of nerve network model on the estimation result, the sensitivity of the forecasting system on the learning data of the nerve network is analyzed.

The present study is undertaken to evaluate the effect of volume fraction on the results of Charpy impact test for the rubber matrix filled with nano sized silica particles composites. The Charpy impact tests are conducted in the temperature range 0°C and –10°C. The range of volume fraction of silica particles tested are between 11% to 25%. The critical energy release rate GIC of the rubber matrix composites filled with nano sized silica particles is affected by silica volume fraction and it is shown that the value of GIC decreases as volume fraction increases. In regions close to the initial crack tip, fracture processes such as matrix deformation, silica particle debonding and delamination, and/or pull out between particles and matrix which is ascertained by SEM photographs of Charpy impact fracture surfaces.

The characteristics of abrasive wear of the rubber matrix composites filled with nano sized silica particles were investigated at ambient temperature by pin-on-disc friction test. The range of volume fraction of silica particles tested are between 11% to 25%. The cumulative wear volume and friction coefficient of these materials on particle volume fraction were determined experimentally. The major failure mechanisms were lapping layers, deformation of matrix, ploughing, deboding of particles and microcracking by scanning electric microscopy photograph of the tested surface. The cumulative wear volume showed a tendency to increase nonlinear with increase of sliding distance. As increasing the silica particles of these composites indicated higher friction coefficient.

The effects of Quenching and Partitioning (Q&P) and Annealed Martensite (AM) heat treatment on the microstructure and tensile properties were investigated for 0.24C-0.5Si-1.5Mn-1Al steels. The Q&P steels were annealed at a single phase (γ) or a dual phase (γ+α), followed by quenching to a temperature between Ms and Mf. Then, enriching carbon was conducted to stabilize the austenite through the partitioning, followed by water quenching. The AM steels were intercritically annealed at a dual phase (γ+α) temperature and austempered at Ms and Ms±50˚C, followed by cooling in oil quenching. The dual phase Q&P steels showed lower tensile strength and yieldyield strength than those of the single phase Q&P steels, and tThe elongation for the dual phase Q&P steel was partitioning 100s higher than that of that for the single phase Q&P steels as the partitioning time was less than 100s up to partitioning 100s. For AM steels, the tensile/yield strength decreased and the total elongation increased as the austempering temperature increased. The stability of the retained austenite controlled the elongation for Q&P steels and the volume fraction of the retained austenite controlled the elongation for AM steels.

The main goal of this work is to study the effect of glass fiber volume fraction on the result of tensile test with respect to glass fiber/polypropylene(GF/PP) composites. The tensile test and failure mechanisms of GF/PP composites were investigated in the fiber volume fraction range from 10% to 30%. The tensile strength and the fracture strength increased with the increasing of the fiber volume fraction in the tested range. Fiber pull-out and debonding of this composites increased with the fiber volume fraction in thc tested range. The major failure mechanisms were classified into the debonding, the fiber pull out, the delamination and the matrix deformation.

The fabrication process and mechanical properties of SiC particle prefrrms with high volume fraction ranged 50∼71% were investigated to make metal matrix composites for possible applications as heat sinks in electronic packares. The SiC particle preforms with 50∼71vol% of reinforcement were fabricated by a new modified process named ball milling and pressing method. The SiC particle performs were fabricated by ball milling of SiC particles with single sized of 48m in diameter or two different size of 8m and 48min diameter, with collodal SiO2 as inorgnic binder in distilled water, and the mixed slurries were cold pressed for consolidation into final prefom. The compressive strengths og calcined SiC particle prefoms increased from 20MPa to 155MPa with increasing the content of inorganis binder, temperature and time for calcination. The increase of compressive strength of SiC particle bridge the interfaces of two neighboring SiC particles.

The fabrication process and properties of SiC particulate preforms with high volume fraction above 50% were investigated. The SiC particulate preforms were fabricated by vacuum-assisted extraction method after wet mixing of SiC particulates of 48 in diameter, as inorganic binder, cationic starch as organic binder and polyacrylamide as dispersant in distilled water. The SiC particulate preforms were consolidated by vacuum-assisted extraction, and were followed by drying and calcination. The drying processes were consisted with natural drying at for 36 hrs and forced drying at 10 for 12 hrs in order to prevent the micro-cracking of SiC particulates preform. The compressive strengths of SiC particulate preforms were dependent on the inorganic binder content, calcination temperature and calcination time. The compressive strength of SiC preform increased from 0.47 MPa to 1.79 MPa with increasing the inorganic binder content from 1% to 4% due to the increase of flocculant between the interfaces of SiC particulates. The compressive strength of SiC preform increased from 0.90 MPa to 3.21 MPa with increasing the calcination temperatures from 800 to 120 under identical calcination time of 4hrs. The compressive strength of SiC preform increased from 0.92 to 1.95 MPa with increasing the calcination time from 2 hrs to f hrs at calcination temperature of 110. The increase of compressive strength of SiC preform with increasing the calcination temperature and time is due to the formation of crystobalite phase at the interfaces of SiC particulates.

This paper describes the effect of steel fiber volume fraction and aspect ratio on mechanical properties of SFRC with compressive strength of 40 MPa. In this study, The fiber volume fractions consist of 0.25%, 0.50% and 0.75% and aspect ratios are 64 and 80 used. The prisms with 150×150×550 mm were made and tested in accordance with EN-14651. Test results show that the superior flexural performance was observed in SFRC with higher fiber volume fraction and aspect ratio.

According to the KCI 2012, it is presented that steel fiber can replace minimum shear reinforcement when beams are designed. However, there is no standard for columns, and there is a lack of research on SFRC columns. Therefore, it is evaluated how much the capacity of columns increases according to the volume fraction of steel fiber through the cyclic lateral loading tests. Also, it is evaluated whether steel fiber can replace transverse reinforcements in concrete columns.

Based on the study of researchers carried about SFRC, it was found that SFRC was effective to achieve flexural toughness according to higher volume fraction. On the other hand, higher volume fraction did not effect at compressive strength and toughness.
