An experimental study was carried out to investigate the strength implovlng effect of stone dust in no fines concrete. The cement aggregate ratios of 1:6, 1:8 and 1:10 and several water-cemment ratios between 30% and 56% were chosen for the mix design of no-fines concrete. For the no-fines concrete with stone dust, the weight ratio of cement to stone dust 1:1 was adopted and super plasticizer, 1.5% of cement in weight, was used to obtain proper and workable state of concrete. The compressive and tensile strength test were performed and the results for the different mix designs were compared with each other. The results show that the compressive strength of no-fines concrete can be improved by 38% and the tensile strength by 17%~72% for the same w/c, when the same weight of stone dust as cement is mixed together.

Micro-cracks with a width less than 0.1 mm in precast concrete panels do not cause structural problem, but they can cause problems in long term durability and concrete surfaces aesthetic, requiring additional repair costs. In this paper, polymer cement concrete is used to increase flexural tensile strength and to prevent micro-cracks due to construction loads on LB-DECK panels. Using 5% polymer-cement ratio, the panel crack moment is increased by improving flexural tensile strength and controlling visible micro-cracks during construction stage of LB-DECK.

This study investigated the use of recycled aggregate from waste asphalt concrete in dry soil concrete mixed with red mud. The results showed that dry soil concrete utilizing waste asphalt recycled aggregate had relatively lower compressive strength compared to that using crushed aggregate. However, dry soil concrete mixed with red mud using waste asphalt recycled aggregate achieved a compressive strength of over 18.0MPa, meeting the highest performance standard for parking lot use, when the cement content was more than 250kg/m³.

This study carried out to evaluate the hydration heat analysis and fundamental characteristics such as air content, slump and compressive strength for field application of low heat concrete with premixed cement. The results of experiment show that low heat concrete with premixed cement have sufficient performances on the workability and compressive strength. In addition, hydration heat analysis shows that low heat concrete with premixed cement make sure of target thermal cracking index. Therefore, it is desirable to apply the low heat concrete with premixed cement on pier foundation-column.

This paper presents the optimized mixing design of lightweight aerated concrete using hydrogen peroxide. Design of experiments in order to the optimized mixing design was applied and commercial program (MINITAB) was used. Statistical analysis was used to Box-Behnken (B-B) method in response surface analysis. The influencing factors of experimental are unit cement content, water ratio and hydrogen peroxide ratio. According to the analysis of variance, at the hardened state, water ratio and hydrogen peroxide ratio affects on dried density, compressive strength and bending strength of lightweight aerated concrete, but unit cement content affects on only dried density. In the results of response surface analysis, to obtain goal performance, the optimized mixing design for lightweight aerated concrete using hydrogen peroxide were unit cement content of 800 kg/$m^3$, water ratio of 44.33% and hydrogen peroxide ratio of 10%.

The purpose of this experimental research is to investigate the influence of cement types on the resistance to acid and sulfate. For this purpose, concrete specimens with three types of cement such as ordinary portland cement(OPC), binary blended cement(BBC), and ternary blended cement(TBC) were made for water-binder(W/B) ratios of 32% and 43%, and then according to JSTM C 7401, the appearance change and ratio of mass change of them were estimated through the immersion tests by 5% sulfuric acid, 10% sodium sulfate, and 10% magnesium sulfate solution, respectively. It was observed from the test result that the resistance against acid and sulfate increased with decreasing W/B ratio and those of BBC and TBC concretes were better than the case of OPC concrete from immersion tests of 91 days.

Recently, due to developments in construction technology, the use of high-performance concrete became popular. High-performance concrete when compared to the ordinary concrete can better satisfy required performances by using mineral admixture and superplasticizer. Various studies on the effect of admixture materials on the quality of high-performance concrete have been reported. But there exist limited number of reported results on the effect of cement qualities, which is the most important constituent material in concrete. Therefore, in this study, the relationship between the quality of cement and the flowability of high flowing concrete is investigated. Qualities of domestically produced cement were identified, and then the influence of the qualities of cement on the flowability of high flowing concrete is evaluated. The result showed that the dosage of required superplasticizer was dependent on cement fineness, to brain, free-CaO, and interstitial phase, which all trigger initial hydration process of cement. Particularly, the results showed that fineness of cement has a high impact on the dosage of the superplasticizer. For strength property of concrete, the dosage of superplasticizer had a significant effect on the early age strength, but had negligible effect in the long term strength.

The internal or external restraint of thermal and dry shrinkage movements could thus generate tensile stresses in concrete pavement for early traffic opening. Restrained shrinkage and thermal stresses could produce microcracks in concrete which increase its permeability and accelerate its long-term deterioration under weathering and load effects. Fiber reinforced concrete is an effective approach to the control of microcrack and crack development under tensile stresses. This study aims at evaluation of the durability of high early strength concrete for early traffic opening and increase of service life. Three different types of regulated-set cement which recently has been used much in Korea were adopted. Fibers were added and their mixtures were compared with plain high early strength concrete mixture. The use of fibers increased durability performance of high early strength concrete using regulated-set cement than the corresponding plain mixtures.
