Recently, as industrialization is rapidly growing and the standard of life is rising, the quantities of waste glasses have been hastily increased and most of them are not recycled but abandoned. It causes some problems such as the waste of natural resources and environmental pollution. Therefore, in this study freeze-thaw resistance test was conducted to analyze the properties of concrete containing waste glasses as fine aggregates and containing industrial by-products (fly ashes, silica fumes). As a results, it was found that freeze-thaw resistance decreases as the content of waste glasses increases. Also, the content of fly ash doesn't affect to the freeze-thaw resistance, and freeze-thaw resistance decreases with tile increase of silica fume contents.

This study investigates the effect of air contents on concrete properties, compressive strength, chloride migration coefficient and freeze-thaw resistance. Chloride migration and freeze-thawing test conducted in accordance with NT-BUILD 492 and pr-EN 12390-9, respectively. As a result, compressive strength reduced with air contents increase, but chloride migration coefficient more influenced by the water-binder ratios than air contents. Air contents of hardened concrete measured half times that of fresh concrete after mixing. Also, concrete scaling decreased with air contents increased.

It has been reported that few manufacturers of cement mortar for precast products use chemical and mineral admixture due to the absense of restrictions related to the application of admixture and the poor manufacturing facilities. Therefore, this paper is intended to contribute to the improvement of quality by investigating the properties of cement mortar for precast products using fly ash, blast furnace slag and AE water reducing agent. According to the test results. it was found that the cement mortar products using fly ash and AE water-reducing agent had better qualities than those of ordinary portland cement.

Social and environmental pressures draw greater significance on the recycling of the waste. Particularly, waste concrete is particularly crucial among the construction wastes in terms of conservation of natural construction resources as well as disposal crisis. The technology to recycle the waste concrete has been improved. This study has various replacement levels of natural fine aggregate with recycled fine aggregate while coarse aggregate is completely replaced with the recycled coarse aggregate and herein fundamental properties investigated include compressive strength, shrinkage and dynamic modulus of elasticity. As a result, it is anticipated that the recycled aggregate concrete can be successfully applied to structural concrete members provided a proper recycling process, mix design and curing method are practiced.

FRP composites which are used in strengthening existing structure are usually adhered to the concrete surface, their performance are directly affected by environmental condition such as freezing-thawing and moisture. Accordingly, it is required to evaluate bond durability between FRP composite and concrete as well as FRP materials itself. The durability characteristics of FRP composite for freezing-thawing are evaluated in this study with the variables of concrete strength, type of FRP composite, freezing-thawing conditions and freezing-thawing cycle. In addition, material durability of GFRP sheet for high temperature/high humidity condition are examined in this experimental study.

Currently the study on the effective use of the fly ash is concentrated as construction materials, which is by product of electric power generating plants. Fly ash, therefore, can be used as concrete admixture for the purpose of not only increasing the concrete quality but also of utilizing materials. Within the country it is not easy to use fly ash for the construction purpose because the properties of fly ash are varied due to the use of different raw ores in the various power plants. And little previous construction experiments and the basic experiments about the formation of bubbles are performed. In this study the water-cement ratio is varied in 3 different values and compressive strength is measured and freeze-thaw experiments are preformed to establish the relationships between water-cement ratios and the durability. And also for each batch of different water-cement ratio fly ash is substituted 10%, 20% and 30% of cement and concrete mixture the admixture and the formation of bubbles and also freeze-thaw resistance.

Concrete structures in the marine environment often deteriorate in the early stage of their service life because of contact with various aggressive conditions. In recent years, the researches on the concrete in the marine environment have been carried out to increase their service life. In this experimental study, the concrete specimens were prepared with various adding contents of inorganic antifouling agent$(0\~3.0wt\%)$ composed of some fluosilicate solution. For evaluation of the properties of concretes containing inorganic antifouling agent, various tests such as setting time, slump loss, compressive strength, water absorption rate, fleering and thawing resistance and SEM of concrete, were conducted. As the results, physical and chemical properties of concretes were improved with an adding of inorganic antifouling agent. From the results of various tests, the optimal adding contents of antifouling agent was $1.0wt\%$.

Concrete with ground granulated blast-furnace slag can be affected by frost attack because the reaction of hydration is slow at the early age. In this study, therefore, the freezing and thawing test has been carried out to investigate the freezing and thawing resistance on concrete with ground granulated blast-furnace slag. The freezing and thawing test has been performed on concrete a blended cement, which was substituted by ground granulated blast-furnace slag with 4 kinds of ratio (non-admixture, 20%, 40% and 60%). And also tested on concrete added the AE agents to the concrete of same mix proportion to search the improvement effects about the resistance. As a result, the freezing and thawing resistance showed a tendency of reduction in proportion to the increase of the substitution ratio. For non-AE concrete, resistances of the freezing and thawing were very poor as the durability index indicated less than 5.8%. For AE concrte, resistance of the freezing and thawing were excellent as the durability index indicated more than 80.9%.

Concrete has a void, which exists as one of defect in concrete. If the porosity of concrete increases, durability of concrete decreases. In this paper, to improve surface void of concrete, surface penetration sealers are applied to specimen. And it were investigated that the resistances of chloride penetration and freezing and thawing for concrete with surface penetration sealer of two types. According to the results, surface penetration sealer has not show a harmful influence on strength and resistance of freezing and thawing. Also, B type surface penetration sealer was more superior in resistance of chloride penetration.

In order to discuss the freeze-thaw durability of FRC and mechanical properties by the fiber types of FRC, experimental studies of FRC were carried out. The kinds of fiber used which are in CFRC are PAN-based and Pitch-based carbon fiber and in GFRC are alkali-resistance glass fiber. To examine the effects of the kinds, types (continuous fiber and Tow, Belt, Cloth) and contents of fiber and matrices, the following three methods CFRC and GFRC, Air cured, Water cured and Autoclaved CFRC and GFRC were tested. According to the test results, the flexural, tensile strength and toughness of FRC were remarkably influenced by types of fiber and addition of condensed silica fume. Also, freeze-thaw resistance of FRC was considerably improved in comparision to conventional mortar.
