As the shortage of concrete aggregates is intensifying, the development of alternative resources is urgent. As the amount of steel slag increases year by year, attempts are being made to recycle slag into high-value-added products in order to develop an efficient resource recycling industry based on slag and to obtain economic benefits. However, the use of electric arc furnace oxidizing slag (EOS) as building materials is practically limited because it contains unstable materials. In this paper, physical properties of concrete were evaluated by using electric arc furnace slag aggregate. It has been produced with two levels of general strength area W / C 45% and high strength area W / C 30%. Fresh concrete has been tested in air content, flow and slump, unit weight. The properties of the cured concrete were investigated by compressive strength, bending strength and unit volume weight. As a result of this study, strength of concrete increased with increasing EOS aggregate mixture.

This study was performed to enhance mechanical properties of high-early-strength concrete using regulated-set cement for early traffic opening with various mixtures. Restraint of moisture and thermal movements of concrete pavement in actual field conditions, by external or internal restraining factors, generates tensile stresses which introduce microcracks and thus reduce the mechanical properties of concrete. Fiber reinforcement of concrete is an effective approch to the control of microcrack and crack development under tensile stresses. Three different types of regulated-set cement which recently have been used in Korea and two different types of fiber were adopted. Fibers were added and their mixtures are compared with plain high-early-strength concrete mixture. From the test results, fiber reinforced concrete was increased mechanical properties of high-early-strength concrete using regulated-set cement than the plain concrete.

The practical applications of ordinary high-fluidity concrete have been limited due to several drawbacks, such as high hydration heat, high amount of shrinkage, and non-economic strength development. On the other hand, due to its advantages, such as improvement of construction quality, reduction of construction cost and period, the development of high-fluidity concrete is a pressing need. This study examined the properties of high-fluidity concrete, which can be manufactured on the low binders using a viscosity agent to prevent the segregation of materials. The optimal viscosity agent was selected by an evaluation of the mechanical properties of high-fluidity concrete among six viscosity agents. The acrylic type and urethane type viscosity agents showed the best performance within the range where no material separation occurred. The mechanical properties were evaluated to examine the optimal amount of AC and UT viscosity agent added by mixing two viscosity agents according to the adding ratio and blending them together with high performance water reducing agent. When the ratio of the AC : UT viscosity agents was 5:5, it was most suited for high-fluidity concrete with low binders by increasing the workability and effect of the reducing viscosity.

This paper is to evaluate practically the techniques and materials of repair for RC elements with fire damages as well as to investigate the structural behavior of RC beams according to pre- or post-repair after fire-damages. For this purpose, normal concrete flexural specimens were exposed to high temperatures by the ISO 834 specification. After natural cooling and post-fire-curing in a natural environment for 2 months, the specimens were repaired with polymer cement mortar for 1 month curing.

The purpose of this study is to achieve a sufficient fluidity without segregation for normal compressive strength grade concrete mixture. The major obstacle of achieving fluidity of normal compressive strength grade concrete mixture is segregation. Therefore, in this research, the proper use of VMA was suggested to prevent segregation.

일반 콘크리트 (설계강도 $\sigma_{28}=210 kg/\textrm{cm}^2$)에 산업폐기물인 Fly Ash를 혼합하고 기포재 (Air Entrainment Agent) 첨가에 따른 Fly Ash-Concrete의 물성 변화를 시험하였다. Fly Ash-Concrete의 slump를 6, 8, 10cm로 고정시킨후, 각각의 slump 반죽상태에다 기포재, Neopor-400을 25,000cc/$\textrm{m}^3$, 50,000cc/$\textrm{m}^3$, 75,000cc/$\textrm{m}^3$으로 증가시켰다. 이때 기포재 증가에 따른 공기량 변화와 압축강도 $(\sigma_7 과 \sigma_{28})$ 를 측정하였다. 또한 기포재를 첨가한후, 60분과 90분까지 방치하고, 60분후와 90분후의 공기량과 압축강도 $(\sigma_7 과 \sigma_{28})$ 변화를 측정하였다. 시험결과에 의하면, 기포재가 첨가되는 시간에서부터 60분, 90분 동안 방치하면 공기량은 감소된다. 동시에 압축강도는 점진적으로 증가된다. KSF 5405가 요구하는 slump값이 90분 이내에 $12\pm0.5$의 범위에 들어 가기 위해서는 기포재는 50,000cc/$\textrm{m}^3$-75,000cc/$\textrm{m}^3$만큼 첨가되어야 한다. 이때의 7일 압축강도가 170-200kg/$\textrm{cm}^2$이고 28일 압축강도는 215-290kg/$\textrm{cm}^2$이다. 이 값은 설계강도 $\sigma$28=210kg/$\textrm{cm}^2$ 보다 최고 약 40%까지 증가율을 보여 주었다.

Recently, many researches on high strength reinforcing steel have been conducted to construct optimum reinforced concrete structures. However, the studies have shown that high strength steel shows less elongation capacity than normal strength steel. Therefore, high strength reinforcing steel may not satisfy the minimum elongation requirement of current standards. Moreover, elongation measurements may be not standardized ones since each standard has its own requirements for minimum elongation and gage length. Therefore, the standards for reinforcing steel testing must be investigated to verify the validity of Korean Standard D 3504. This research aimed to compare the requirements for minimum elongation and gage length of the Korean, American, Japanese, European, and ISO Standards. Then, the study further investigated accuracy of the standards by tensile test of reinforcing steel. The study results showed that the Korean Standard has the strictest requirement. Based on the study results, the authors proposed modified minimum elongation requirements for general reinforcing steel and new requirements for seismic reinforcing steel.

The use of the recycled fine aggregate to the material of structural concrete is not easy currently because there are some problems, such as the difficulty of quality control and the badness of chemical and physical property other than river sand, crushed fine aggregate. To use of recycled fine aggregate, many researches on the recycling of recycled fine aggregate have been studying until today. However, the result of the research is little except for some results. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to confirm the possibility of use of recycled fine aggregate for raw material of plaster mortar. In this study, various tests were performed such as flow, air content, unit weight, bond strength, and compressive strength test to evaluate the effect according to the substitution of recycled concrete aggregate. The results of strength test showed that the concrete strength improved with the increase of replacement ratio of recycled fine aggregate. In the other side, flow and air content are decreased according to replacement ratio of recycled fine aggregate. The result of this study could be used as the basic data for the recycling of recycled fine aggregate.
