In case of the concrete is poured into the HPC(Hollow Precast Concrete) column, the shrinkage condition of the HPC surface and the infilled concrete may be different, causing an interfacial space and deteriorating the integration performance. In this study, manufacturing HPC column mold and and the drying shrinkage properties with the charging concrete were examined. As a result, case of the shrinkage reducing agent showed the best drying shrinkage reduction effect. In the case of the expansive agent, the length change was lower than that of plain, but the difference from the shrinkage reducing agent was large, so it is considered that mixing condition of expansion mixing condition should be improved.

Ultra high strength concrete, nowadays, has been widely applied to construction of high-rise building. To improve ductility and mechanical properties, steel fiber is employed in UHSC. This study investigates practical application of expansive additives(EA) and shrinkage reducing agent(SRA), in order to secure volumetric stability and improved mechanical properties, such as autogenous shrinkage and dry shrinkage of steel-fiber-reinforced-ultra-high-strength-comet-mortar(FHSM). According to the test, individual addition of steel fiber does not affect shrinkage reduction, as expected. However FHSM, with combined addition of 5$\%$ of EA and 1$\%$ of SRA decreased 60$\%$ of autogenous shrinkage. It is considered that Proper combination of EA and SRA can secure the shrinkage resistance of FHSM.

This study aims to develop ultra-low-shrinkage high-quality concrete. Therefore, the concrete drying shrinkage characteristics according to the type and amount of the shrinkage reducing agent were reviewed. As a result, the performance of Hexylene Glycol(HG) and Polyol was superior to that of PolyEthylene Glycol(PEG), which is most widely used in Korea. In addition, the shrinkage reduction effect was improved as the amount of PEG was increased, but the disadvantage of the strength reduction when excessive use was confirmed.

In this study, shrinkage reducing agent was fabricated with $12CaO{\cdot}7Al_2O_3(C_{12}A_7)$ of CA-based slag and anhydrite. Mortars added shrinkage reducing agent were experimented for enhancement of shrinkage reduction and compressive strength. The properties of setting time, length change and compressive strength of mortar changed with mixing ratios. From 0% to 6% $C_{12}A_7$-based slag, setting times got shorter and length changes of mortars were similar to 7days. From 1day to 7days, the more mortar had $C_{12}A_7$-based slag, the higher compressive strength. At 28days, compressive strength of mortars with 6% $C_{12}A_7$-based slag was about 36MPa. After 35days, mortar with 6% $C_{12}A_7$-based slag had the lowest ratio of shrinkage reduction. So mortar with 6% $C_{12}A_7$-based slag had the excellent characteristics such as compressive strength and shrinkage reduction ratio.

HPFRCC is characterized by a very low water-to-binder ratio which induce extremely large autogenous shrinkage at early age. The restriction of such autogenous shrinkage through the use of forms and reinforcing bars will increase substantially the risk of excessive residual stresses and shrinkage cracking. The exact understanding of the shrinkage behavior and studies on solutions to reduce shrinkage should be imperatively undertaken for further application of HPFRCC to real structures. Therefore, this paper investigated the mechanical properties of HPFRCC with respect to the eventual introduction of expansive admixture(EA) and shrinkage reducing agent (SRA) in the mixture. Autogenous shrinkage test was conducted considering the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) measured at early age so as to examine the effects of EA and SRA on the autogenous shrinkage behavior of HPFRCC.

This study carried out to evaluate the hydration heat analysis and fundamental characteristics such as air content, slump, compressive strength and dry shrinkage according to concrete with premixed cement, ternary concrete and OPC concrete for using concrete with premixed cement. The results of experiment are founded that concrete with premixed cement have sufficient performances such as workability, compressive strength and dry shrinkage. Also, the results of hydration heat analysis are founded that concrete with premixed cement have more performance than ternary concrete and OPC concrete at a point of view for the quality control such as thermal crack reducing and economic benefit. Therefore, it is desirable that concrete with premixed cement should be used to rise durability performance and convenience of maintenance.

The study for curling control of plain concrete in underground parking lot was conducted in this study. The shrinkage reducing agent(SRA) was used to minimize the curling deformation of plain concrete in underground parking lot. For the quantitative curling control, the simplified prediction method applying the deflection theory of cantilever beam was proposed too, and the validity of prediction method was examined through the comparison between the experimental values and predictive values. In result, the curling of SRA 1.0% concrete was about 30% less than that of SRA 0.0% concrete, and the possibility of curling estimation by the simplified prediction method was confirmed through the comparison between the experimental values and predictive values.

In the present study is focused on the evaluation of the shrinkage characteristics of mix proportion using viscosity agent for printing. Also, another purpose is to compare the shrinkage properties of the mold cast specimen with the additive manufactured specimen using 3D printing techniques. Viscosity agent makes the shrinkage was reduced by an average of 25% (as of 56 days) compared to the reference mix. The effects of reduced shrinkage were also founded, with a reduction of about 15% (as of 28 days).As a result of evaluating the shrinkage using the additive manufactured specimen and the mold cast specimen prepared by the printing mix, the shrinkage of the additive manufactured specimen was reduced by about 25% (based on 28 days). Based on the results of this study, it is possible to predict the shrinkage rate and the occurrence of cracks due to shrinkage on the printing of cement-based composite materials using 3D printing.

Generally, polymer mortar made with unsaturated polyester(UP) resin has a high curing shrinkage. This is an inadequate as repair material and construction products that have been widely used for years recently. To overcome these problems, polymer researchers and engineers have used shrinkage-reducing additives, which are usually specific thermoplastic polymers. The objective of this study is to evaluate the effects of shrinkage-reducing additive on the curing shrinkage and strengths of UP mortar. UP mortars are prepared with expanded polystyrene(EPS) ratio in styrene monomer(SM), (EPS/PS, PS=EPS+SM), and the ratio of total polystyrene resin(PS) to UP resin, (PS/UP). And it is tested for viscosity of UP resin, slump-flow, working life, flexural and compressive strengths, and curing shrinkage tests. From the test results, viscosity of resin for UP mortar increases with increasing PS content. Curing shrinkage of UP mortar is considerably smaller than that of plain UP mortar, nevertheless, reduction in the strengths is not recognized according to adding PS resin. In this study, we can obtain the optimum mix proportions of UP mortar using PS resin which made of waste expanded polystyrene.
