This study is to develop simple solidifying agent to improve loose sand ground by admixing or injecting. This paper studied the optimum mixing ratio of micro cement, bentonite, chemistry admixture, plasticizer, accelerator for the optimum fluidity and strength. The optimum mixing ratio of micro cement and bentonite is 70% : 20%, the optimum ratio of the weight of rapid solidifying agent to the weight of total improved soil is about 8%, the optimum curing period is five days.

The purpose of this study is to obtain the fundamental fire resistance performance of engineered cementitious composites (ECC) under fire temperature in order to use the fire protection material in high-strength concrete structures. The present study conducted the experiment to simulate fire temperature by employing of ECC and investigated experimentally the explosion and cracks in heated surface of these ECC. In the experimental studies, 5 HSC specimens are being exposed to fire, in order to exami ne the influence of vari ous parameters (such as depth of layer=20, 30, 40 mm; construction method=lining and repairing type) on the fire performance of HSC structures. Employed temperature curve were ISO 834 criterion (3 hr), which are severe in various criterion of fire temperature in building structures. The numerical regressive analysis and proposed equation to calculate ambient temperature distribution is carried out and verified against the experimental data. By the use of proposed equation, the HSC members subjected to fire loads were designed and discussed.
