Recently, coal ash is used as resources to make controlled low-strength material (CLSM) which a self-compacted, cementitious material used primarily as a backfill in lieu of compacted fill. Pozzolanic reaction is strongly related with self-cementation of coal ashes. However, this reaction depends on pozzolanic content in fill materials and is disappeared in 2-3 days after placement of coal ash fill. Therefore, state of coal ash fill is commonly very loose and not appropriate for foundations of structures without special treatments. In this study, a coal ash placement device was developed to place coal ashes effectively to improve density of coal ash fills. The device consists of a ribbon type mixer to obtain homogeneous materials mixture and a piston type pump for density control of fill materials. Based on several laboratory test results, more stable coal ash fill state can be obtained with controlling placement pressure.

폴리카본산계 기능성 고분자를 합성해서 고성능 감수제 원료로 활용하여 고유동화 혼화제를 개발하고자 한다. 폴리카본산계 기능성 고분자를 합성한 후, 이를 고유동, 고강도 혼화제 원료로의 제반 물성을 확인하고, 이를 현장에 적용하여 현재의 제품을 획기적으로 개선하고, 혼화제 품질의 우위성을 확보하기 위해 1) 시멘트 및 골재 표면에서의 적절한 계면활성을 갖는 분자설계를 하였으며, 2)분자량의 조절 기술의 개발을 개발하였다. 합성에 있어서 첫째, 시멘트 및 골재 표면에서의 적절한 계면활성을 갖는 분자설계와 둘째, Mw 5,000정도의 분자량을 갖는 감수제의 합성기술을 개발하였다. 이렇게 제조된 고성능 유동화제의 화학구조 해석을 해석하고 분자량 및 분자량 분포를 측정한 다음, 시멘트 페이스트의 유동성, 점도, 슬럼프로스 등을 측정하여 고성능 유동화제의 성능인 시멘트 페이스트의 유동성을 시험하였다. 그 결과 고유동성을 갖는 것과 장시간 안정한 유동성을 나타내었으며, 경과 시간에 따른 겉보기 점도변화를 측정한 결과 점도의 상승이 초기에 일어나다가 시간의 경과에 따라 점도가 감소하는 경향을 나타내었다. 따라서 경과시간에 따른 유동성 손실을 억제할 것으로 기대한다.

This research is to reduce the formwork leakage of high-fluidity concrete caused by insufficient accuracy of formwork fabrication widely used for high-fluidity concrete to general strength concrete. However, in the actual construction site, because of the insufficient accuracy of formwork fabrication may cause leaking concrete of mortar through a gab of the formwork. Therefore, in this research, which builds on previous research into providing thixotropy with PVA and Borax, the use of thixotropy to reduce high-fluidity mortar leakage was evaluated. The results of the experiment proved that the use of thixotropy with PVA and Borax can contribute to reduction of the formwork leakage of high-fluidity mortar. This finding is expected to lead to further research on reducing leakage of high-fluidity concrete.

The purpose of this study is the basic research of self-compacting concrete using Alkali-Activated Slag (AAS) binder in order to emphasize the durability of structures and facilitate casting the fresh concrete in field. The AAS binder emitted low carbon dioxide ($CO_2$) is eco friendly material of new concept because AAS products not only emit little $CO_2$ during production but also reuse the industrial by-products such as ground granulated blast-furnace slag (GGBS) of the steel mill. Until now, almost of domestic and foreign research are using Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) for self-compacting concrete, and also, nonexistent research about AAS. The self-compacting concrete must get the performance of flowability, segregation resistance, filling and passing ability. Nine concrete mixes were prepared with the main parameter of unit amount of binder (400, 500, 600 $kg/m^3$) and 3 types of water-binder (W/B) ratio. The results of test were that fresh concretes were satisfied with flowability, segregation resistance, and filling ability of JSCE. But the passing ability was not meet the criteria of EFNARC because of higher viscosity of AAS paste than OPC. This high viscosity of AAS paste enables the manufacturing of self compacting concrete, segregation of which does not occur without the using of viscosity agent. It is necessary that the development of high fluidity AAS binders of higher strength and the study of better passing ability of AAS concrete mixes in order to use self compacting AAS concrete in field.

A theoretical formulation for the analysis of free vibration of a cylindrical shell with a circular plate attached at an arbitrary axial position of the shell under various kinds of boundary conditions was derived and programed to get the numerical results for natural frequencies and mode shapes of the combined system. The boundary conditions of the shell to be considered here are clamped-free, clamped-simply supported, both ends clamped and both ends simply supported. The frequencies and mode shapes from theoretical calculation were compared with those of commercial finite element code, ANSYS. The results showed good agreement with those of ANSYS in frequencies and mode shapes. The program will contribute to the design optimization of a shell/plate combined system through the analysis of natural frequencies and mode shapes for the system.

Recently, mass concrete with high flowability are widely used to improve the quality and constructability in the longer span construction of prestressed concrete bridges, but it may induce nonstructural cracks due to the hydration heat and autogenous shrinkage etc. The stresses in concrete were evaluated by various experiments and numerical analysis. The tensile stress in mass concrete was increased in connection with the accumulation of hydration heat. Moreover, large amount of autogenous shrinkage from powder type admixture could add the tensile stress to mass concrete near anchorage zone. The tensile stresses in anchorage zone by heat and autogenous shrinkage exceeded the tensile strength of early stage of concrete, and small amounts of stress increasement were shown in other parts of PSC girder.

General high fluidity concrete is the area of high strength concrete with a high amount of cement to secure the required fluidity and workability. Since most of the concrete structures currently used have normal strength, there is a limit to the practical expansion and practicality of use. Thus it is necessary to develop normal strength-high fluidity concrete with low binders that can be used not only in general buildings but also in special buildings, and can greatly reduce construction time and save labor costs. This requires to develop and apply the polycarboxylate-based superplasticizer. In this study, PCE was prepared for each combination of starting materials(WR, HB, RT) and the rheological properties of cement paste were analyzed using ringflow cone and a rotary viscometer. As a result, when PCE with a combination of WR 80%, HB 6.5%, and RT 13.5% was applied, the yield stress can be minimized while securing the plastic viscosity at level of the normal strength. In addition, high fluidity due to the high dispersion effect was confirmed.

The receptance method was applied for the analysis of a cylindrical shell with a curvaturated plate attached at the top of the shell. The boundary conditions of the shell considered here were clamped at the bottom and free at the top of the shell. Before the analysis of the shell/plate combined structure, the natural frequencies of the plate and the shell were calculated separately and then they were used in the calculation of the frequencies of the combined structure by the receptance method. The frequency equation of the combined structure was derived from the continuity condition at the junction of the shell and the plate. The frequencies for various curvature factors of the plate were presented and compared with those from ANSYS to show its validity of the present method.

To estimate the recycling feasibility of high melt-indexed polycarbonate, 3.5 inch LGP, tensile, flexural and impact specimens were injection-molded and the LGP was shredded into scraps. The scraps were injection-molded again and this process was repeated for 4 times. Properties of the sample, i.e., optical properties, mechanical properties and number average molecular weight were measured at each cycle. Based on the results, as the number of reprocessing increased, transmittance decreased at low wavelength and color coordinate was changed systematically to yellow. Yellow index increased more than twofold during 4 recycling processes. On the other hand, the number average molecular weight decreased during recycling processes. Flexural and impact strength showed no tendency according to the number of recycling, but tensile strength decreased sharply after the third recycling process. Based on these properties, it was concluded that the number of recycling for high melt-indexed polycarbonate allowed in this study was one.
