콘크리트는 시멘트, 잔골재 및 굵은 골재, 물 및 첨가제의 양이나 투입순서 ,혼합방법등 여러 가지 요인에 따라 성질이 바뀌게 되는 복합재료이다. 따라서 넓은 의미에서 품질 판정의 한 수단이 되는 콘크리트의 설계기준강도 또는 압축강도 fc'(=28일 압축강도)는 물론 기타의 성질도 정확한 예측이 불가능하다. 즉 소요강도를 목표로 배합된 공시체의 시험결과는 예외없이 통계적 가변성을 나타낸다. 여기에서는 공시체의 7일 강도의 평균치 및 표준 편차와 공시체의 28일 강도 측정치로부터 콘크리트의 압축강도를 추정하는식을 제안하였다. 이를 위하여 7,320개의 강도시험자료를 수집한 후 이들을 선형 회귀 분석법으로 처리하였다. 제안된 식에 의한 콘크리트의 압축강도는 타 추정식에 의한 값보다 실측치에 좀 더 근접함을 보여주었다. 또한 제안식의 검정을 위해 서울지역 자료 5,200개를 수집하여 제안식과 JIS, Slater식과의 오차를 비교한 결과에 따르면 제안식이 더 안전측임을 알 수 있었다. 그리고 슈미트 햄머에 의한 현장 실측 강도와 제안식과의 콘크리트 강도 오차는 대체로 2.3%이었다.

This paper reports the test results for shrinkage properties of low shrinkage high performance concrete developed by the authors depending on specimen size and constraint of reinforcing bar. As properties in fresh concrete low shrinkage high performance concrete(LSHPC) combined with expansive additives and shrinkage reducing admixture resulted in increase SP dosage due to loss of fluidity compared with that of control mixture concrete, while the dosage of AE agent was decreased. LSHPC exhibited higher compressive and tensile strength than control mixture concrete. For the effect of specimen size, an increase in specimen size led to a reduction of drying shrinkage. However, it was found that the autogenous shrinkage was not affected by the specimen size and measuring method. For constraint condition, an increase in the ratio of reinforcing bar caused the slight reduction in the strain of reinforcing bar, while it increased the autogenous shrinkage stress. It was seen that LSHPC was effective to reduce autogenous shrinkage by as much as 70% compared with control mixture high performance concrete.

Recently, construction accidents have occurred due to illegal water addition and insufficient quality control at domestic construction sites. In this study, the void content test method proposed in ASTM C 642 was used to provide a reference guideline for evaluation on the quality control status of cast-in-place structural concrete. For this purpose, simulated structural concrete for coring purpose was prepared in addition to the concrete cylindrical specimens with the same formulation, and the changes in compressive strength, elastic modulus, and void content related to coring were evaluated. According to experimental results, the compressive strength and modulus of elasticity were reduced by coring, which was associated with the generation of microcracks during coring. With respect to void content, the difference in void content between the cylindrical specimen and the cored specimen was up to 1.69%. If this value is used as a correction factor, it is possible to estimate the real void content of the cast-in-place structural concrete. By comparing this with the void content obtained from cylindrical concrete specimens, it is possible to evaluate the quality control status and amount of illegal water addition on the structural concrete.

In this study, aimed at determining the elastic modulus of deep mixed samples, 320 test specimens were developed by mixing 8%, 10%, 12%, and 14% of stabilizer mixture in the granular conditions of clay, sand and gravel. Uniaxial compression tests were carried out using these specimens, and the uniaxial compression strength and strain were analyzed to determine the secant elastic modulus and tangent elastic modulus. Laboratory test results showed that the uniaxial compression strength of all deep mixed samples increased with increasing curing time and stabilizer mixing ratio, and that the secant elastic modulus and the tangen elastic modulus also increased. The increase of the elastic modulus according to the curing period turned out greater in the tangent elastic modulus than in the secant elastic modulus. In order to measure elastic modulus with changes in stabilizer mixing ratio, the correlation coefficient between the elastic modulus for stabilizer mixing ratio of 8% and that of 10%, 12% and 14% was calculated respectively by the specimen condition. The elastic modulus tended to increase as the grain size in a deep mixed specimen increased. The distribution of grain size that had the greatest effect appeared when the composition ratio of sand was high. On the other hand, the increase in the elastic modulus was larger in the sand specimens than in the clay and gravel specimens. Based on these results, it is suggested that a pertinent soil parameter of the deep mixed ground in the field may be obtained by the particle size distribution and the mixing ratio of stabilizer of the deep mixed soil.

The characteristics of tensile strength of fiber-reinforced grouting (cement paste) injected into rocks or soils were studied. A tensile strength of such materials utilized in civil engineering has been commonly tested by an indirect splitting tensile test (Brazilian test). In this study, a direct tensile testing method was developed with built-in cylinder inside a cylindrical specimen with 15 cm in diameter and 30 cm in height. The testing specimen was prepared with 0%, 0.5%, or 1% (by weight) of a PVA or steel fiber reinforced mortar. A specimen with 5 cm in diameter and 10 cm in height was also prepared and tested for the splitting tensile test. Each specimen was air cured for 7 days or 28 days before testing. The tensile strength of built-in cylinder test showed 96%-290% higher than that of splitting tensile test. The 3D finite element analyses on these tensile tests showed that the tensile strength from built-in cylinder test had was 3 times higher than that of splitting tensile test. It is similar to experimental result. As an amount of fiber increased from 0% to 1%, its tensile strength increased by 119%-190% or 23%-131% for 7 days or 28 days-cured specimens, respectively. As a curing period increased from 7 days to 28 days, its strength decreased. Most specimens reinforced with PVA fiber showed tensile strength 14%-38% higher than that of steel fiber reinforced specimens.

Internal factors having effects on compressive strength test results of concrete include size, shape, height-diameter ratio(h/d), section processing method, dryness and wetness, etc. of the specimen. As it is difficult to ensure dimensions of core specimen due to rebar cutting from rebar spacing, wall thickness, effects on the structure, etc. when taking core of the concrete structure, correction of dimensions and h/d of the specimen become important for quality control of the concrete. Thus, in order to review effects of specimen size and height-diameter ratio for the concretes with compressive strength within 40~60MPa, this study has experimentally reviewed compressive strength test values by applying correction factors pursuant to KS F 2422 (Method of obtaining and testing drilled cores and sawed beams of concrete), when changing specimen diameter to ${\emptyset}5{\sim}15cm$, and h/d to 2.0~1.25.

This study examines the importance of conditioning temperature and period before measuring fundamental properties of asphalt mixture. Marshall specimens were made and cured in the air for one day and conditioned by submerging at $60^{\circ}C$ water for 30 min before loading. It was observed that if the specimen was cured in a lower (or higher) than normal lab temperature ($25^{\circ}C$) before submerging, the measured values were not consistent. Indirect tensile strength (ITS) was also measured on the specimens cured at different temperatures. Although there is no regulation specifying how long the specimen should be conditioned before testing, it is recommended that the conditioning time be for the specimen to be at $25^{\circ}C$. Test must be conducted for the specimen cured well before conditioning for desired test. If curing temperature was lower or higher than normal, and mixture was not properly cured, then test results would not be reliable. This study showed how long the specimen should be submerged at $60^{\circ}C$ for Marshall test and conditioned at $25^{\circ}C$ for ITS test for the specimens cured in different temperature.

About 3% of Casein is included in milk and it accounts for 80% of milk's protein. It has an adhesive property when mixed with calcium hydroxide and sodium hydroxide solutions. It has been usually used to bond woods under dry condition but becomes weak when exposed to moisture. Such weakness is very critical when casein is applied for soil cementation under groundwater condition. Therefore, this study was aimed to protect such weakness by changing or adding certain ingredients of casein adhesive. Two types of cemented specimens were prepared with Nakdong river sand and tested for unconfined compressive strength and durability. Each specimen was mixed with casein or cement. Ingredients of casein binder suggested by the University of Wisconsin, which is called a standard casein recipe, was also prepared. This study tried 6 different types of casein binder recipe. Among them, one with 30% hydroxide calcium increase and 50% hydroxide sodium decrease compared with the standard casein was most effective. Based on the most effective casein recipe, cemented sand with 1-4% of casein ratio was prepared and tested. The unconfined compressive strength and durability index were 6,253kPa and 92% for the specimen with 4% of casein ratio and 1,500kPa and 62% for the one with 8% of cement ratio. Therefore, casein cemented sand showed better performance. In addition, over 3% of casein cemented sand had over 80% durability index.

In the safety diagnosis of fire-damaged concrete structures, it is difficult to evaluate the strength and changes in materials due to high temperatures with the existing durability analysis method. In particular, the compressive strength of specimen with different damage levels by thickness is used as a representative value for reducing the compressive strength of the structural member. In this study, a heating experiment was performed with only top face heating and fully heating conditions at 400℃ to 800℃. After heating, splitting tensile test and color analysis were performed to sliced specimens with a thickness of 20mm accompanied by the compressive test of a fully heated specimen. As a result of the experiment, the compressive strength reduction rate calculated from the splitting tensile strength of every sliced specimen appeared to be within 10% of the fully heated specimen on aver age, and the hue value analysis showed consistent color values were observed by red at 400℃-600℃ and gray at 700℃ or above. It follows that the techniques proposed in this study are reasonably assessable to estimate heated temperature and residual compressive strength and damage depth of concrete.
