Flow and compressive strength of slag mortars activated by $MgNO_3$ were measured to examine the significance and limitation for the use of Mg-ion as an alkali-activator. The compressive strength of mortars tested was significantly dependent on the addition amount of $MgNO_3$, showing that 30~60% higher strength was developed in water-cured mortars than in air-cured mortars.

In this paper, polymer-modified repair materials using polymer dispersions with six repair methods are prepared with various polymer-cement ratios, and tested for compressive and flexural strengths through each curing condition such as dry cure, water cure, and freezing and thawing cyclic action. And, the adhesive interface between the polymer-modified mortar and mortar substrate is observed by a scanning electron microscope. From the test results, the compressive and flexural strengths of cement mortar repaired by polymer-modified mortar are improved with a rise in the polymer-cement ratio regardless of the type of polymer and curing conditions. Such an improvement in the strengths of polymer-modified repair materials to ordinary cement mortar is explained by the high adhesion of polymer-modified mortar. Strength reduction of polymer-modified repair materials after freezing and thawing cyclic actions is recognized, but it is lower than that of unmodified mortar. Especially, cement mortar repaired by polymer-modified mortar with a St/BA emulsion has good strength properties compared with those of SBR latex and PA emulsion. Accordingly, it is judged that polymer-modified mortars with a St/BA emulsion are possible to use as repair materials to ordinary cement mortar and concrete.

Predicting distribution and variation of humidity inside concrete is essential to improve curing quality of concrete at field. The concrete humidity is predicted by numerical analysis using surface humidity as boundary condition. However, ambient humidity has been used instead of the surface humidity because the surface humidity could not be ccurately measured. Because it is hard to accurately measure the surface humidity, owever, the ambient humidity has been used instead of the surface humidity in the numerical analysis. In this paper, a methodology to accurately measure the surface humidity is suggested, and the ambient humidity and the humidity at the surface and inside the concrete measured by a series of laboratory tests are presented. The cause of low concrete humidity immediately after placement was investigated by a separately performed test. A surface humidity prediction model was developed using the measured humidity, and consequently validated through an additional test.

재생콘크리트의 압축강도와 휨강도는 재생골재의 혼입량이 증가할수록 감소하였으며 플라이애쉬를 혼화재로 사용할 때 그 양이 증가할수록 재생콘크리트의 조기 압축강도는 떨어졌다. 골재원에 따른 압축강도는 재생골재의 혼입량이 적을수록, 양생기간이 길어질수록 증가하엿으나, 전반적으로 비슷한 강도변화의 경향을 보여주고 있다. 재생콘크리트의 휨강도 발현은 보통 콘크리트와 비슷하나, 휨강도에 대한 압축강도비는 보통 콘크리트에 비하여 낮았다. 재생콘크리트의 건조수축은 재생골재의 혼입량이 증가할수록 증가하였으며 , 특히 재령2주와3주사이에 건조수축량이 보통 콘크리트에 비해 월등히 높았다.

Recently, production cost of ready mixed concrete(remicon) has been increased due to the rising cost of raw materials such as cement and aggregate etc. cause by the upturn of oil price and increase of shipping charge. The delivery cost of remicon companies, however, has been decreased owing to their excessive competition in sale. Consequently, remicon companies began to manufacture the concrete by mixing ground granulated blast furnace slag(GGBF) in order to lower the production cost. Therefore, the objective of this study was to predict 28-day strength of GGBF slag concrete by early strength(1 day-strength, 7 day-strength) for the sake of managing with ease the quality of remicon. In experimental results, the prediction equation for 28 day-strength of GGBF slag concrete could be produced through the linear regression analysis of early strength and 28 day-strength. In order to acquire the reliability, all mixture were repeated as 3 times and each mixture order was carried out by random sampling. The prediction equation for 28 day-strength of GGBF slag concrete by 1-day strength(hot-water method) won the good reliability.

When fresh concrete is exposed to low temperature, the concrete may suffer frost damage due to freezing at early ages and the strength development may be delayed. One of the solution methods to resolve these problems is to reduce freezing temperature of concrete by the use of chemical admixture called Accelerator for freeze protection. In this study we Investigate the effect on the strength development of cement mortar using accelerator for freeze protection with the variable curing condition. As the result of this study, the mortar using accelerator for freeze protection show continuously the strength development in curing condition of -5$^{\circ}C$. And the compressive strength under variable temperature condition was higher than constant temperature condition in same maturity.

It is required to study systematical on the concrete quality management to extend structure life because rebuilding effect is reducing under present condition of large sized and high stories structure. Concrete, which shows its intensity by hydrating action and a big change in quality according to hot weather and temperature, produces a lot of quality problem under hot and cold weather. Because of each specification and construction plan which does not have basic standard on site, concrete's quality is irregular and makes some defect. As a result, Dae-gu is fumed out to be the longest area after investigating application period and days focused on 8 cities weather information about t relationship between hot weather circumstance and construction environment. Therefore, we first surveyed the curing construction processing in the region and found out the problem of quality management. Then figure out the way of solution. Moreover, we integrated curing quality management, which is applied differently to each site, to have equal quality and to reduce defect from construction site. And then, based on various test of construction condition and analysis of quality management item, we suggest effective concrete quality management to make curing construction standard guide and plan under hot weather.

In order to assess time-dependent behaviors of the high-strength concrete that applied in actual FCM bridges with various curing environments, the shrinkages of air-dried, sealed, and moist 100${\times}$100${\times}$400 mm prism specimens were measured. And the compressive creep test of 3 and 28 days aged concrete in the tap water and 10% CaCl$_2$ solutions were carried out, then results were compared with traditional test results of air-dried and sealed specimens. Time-dependent behaviors of the concrete that according to curing circumstances between sealed and moist specimens show remarkable differences not only on the shrinkage but also on the creep. Hence there need some reconsiderations to the traditional creep test manners that predicting the creep and shrink age of actual concrete structures.
