Most finishing materials are vulnerable to durability, humidity resistance and fire. And those products used formaldehyde to protect, during the manufacturing process. Also most finishing materials used adhesives to construction process indoor. All of these elements are major causes of releasing formaldehyde. In this study, concrete used by phytoncide was examined to remove the formaldehyde. As a result of the experiment, we found that compressive strength was increased and formaldehyde effectively removed by using mixture of cement matrix and phytoncide.

Self compacting concrete has the strong point in capability of concrete to be uniformly filled and compacted in every corners of formwork by its self-weight without vibration during placing. However, powder type self compacting concrete has the weak point in the heat of hydration, the drying shrinkage and the elastic property of concrete etc. Recently viscosity agent has been developed in order to overcome these weaknesses. In this study, self compacting concrete is made with viscosity agent based on polysaccharide derivative in order to develope the normal strength self compacting concrete. Slump flow, loss of slump flow and setting time are measured for comparison with normal concrete. Compressive strength, freezing and thawing test and carbonation test are conducted on normal and self compacting concrete using viscosity agent. In the experiment, we acquired good results in fresh and hardened self compacting concrete using viscosity agent based on polysaccharide derivative.

This study was performed to know effective control of crack occurred by hydration heat, restraint of multiplication of hydration heat, through mechanical test, strength test and crack control test using fluosilicate salt based anti-crack agent made from by-product during phosphoric acid manufacturing process. Mix proportions for experiment were modulated at 0.495 of water to cement ratio and addition amount of fluosilicate salt based anti-crack agent to $1.0\%$. Condensation time was late and compressive strength of hardened concrete cured at several days was executed to evaluate characteristics of crack control for concrete. It is ascertained that characteristics of crack control for concrete could be improved by an adequate addition of fluosilicate salt based anti-crack agent.

The purpose of this study is to recycle waste concrete and reuse reclaimed asphalt concrete as a concrete coarse aggregate. In this experiment, recycled coarse aggregate was substitute for natural crushed aggregate at the rate of 0, 30, $50\%$, and reclaimed asphalt concrete was substitute for recycled coarse aggregate at the rate of 0, 10, 20, $30\%$. According to the experimental results, as the reclaimed asphalt concrete content has influence on the properties of recycled aggregate concrete such as compressive and tensile strength, the criteria for the substitute ratio should be required to be set.

This study examined plant adhesion characteristics of the porous concrete that used specially treated granular fertilizer for field application, which was used for the restoration of the marine ecosystem. The results of the experiment showed that nutrient eruption amount, the destruction and dissolution ratio tended to decrease when the coating thickness was increased. The void ratio and compressive strength tended to decrease when the specially treated granular fertilizer mixing ratio was increased. According to these results, the appropriate thickness of coating for cement coated granular fertilizer was 1.0mm. The adhesion ability of marine plant to porous concrete was superior when the cement coated granular fertilizer was mixed. Therefore, the appropriate cement coated granular fertilizer mixing ratio of 20% with a coating thickness of 1.0mm is thought to be a factor when considering the strength of the porous concrete for marine ecosystem restoration and the adhesion characteristics of marine plant.

Novel steel fibre reinforced ultra-lightweight cement composite (ULCC) with compressive strength of 87.3MPa and density of $1649kg/m^3$ was developed for the flat slabs in civil buildings. This paper investigated structural behaviours of ULCC flat slabs according to a 4-specimen test program under concentrated loading and some reported test results. The investigated governing parameters on the structural behaviours of the ULCC slabs include volume fraction of the steel fibre and the patch loading area. The test results revealed that ULCC flat slabs with and without flexure reinforcement failed in different failure mode, and an increase in volume fraction of the steel fibre and loading area led to an increase in flexural resistance for the ULCC slabs without flexural reinforcement. Based on the experiment results, the analytical models were developed and also validated. The validations showed that the analytical models developed in this paper could predict the ultimate strength of the ULCC flat slabs with and without flexure reinforcement reasonably well.

This study researched the effect of graphene nanoribbons (0.05 wt%) on cement-based materials' mechanical and electrical properties. The results were compared with the ordinary Portland cement (OPC) paste and OPC paste with the same content of carbon nanotubes. The experiment results showed that after curing for 28 days, the compressive and splitting tensile strength of the sample with graphene nanoribbons were increased by 17.8% and 6.6% compared to OPC paste, and its reinforced effect for cement-based materials was superior to carbon nanotubes. Besides, due to the excellent electrical properties of graphene nanoribbons, the sample reinforced by graphene nanoribbons had a lower electrical resistivity (135.5 Ω·m) than OPC paste (418.5 Ω·m) and paste with carbon nanotubes (175.5 Ω·m). This proved the promising application of graphene nanoribbons on cement-based materials.

Because stone cultural heritages in Korea are mostly situated outdoors without any notable protection, there are severe damages from physical, chemical and biological weathering. And this in turn causes deformation and structural damage. To counteract this problem and increase durability, various kinds of conservation materials are used in the conservation and restoration treatment. However, there are not many practical and technological experiments on this subject. Accordingly this research is for analysis of effect for treatment to make use a resin of the ethyl silicate for the granite in Mt. Nam of Gyeongju. It takes a long time to confirm the test result regarding durability and side effects of the conservatives after treatment. So we built up an artificial environment through freezing and melting test, and evaluated the conservation materials. As a result of this experiment, porosity and absorptivity was increased in accordance with processing of freezing and melting test. But other things such as elastic wave speed, elastic modulus, uniaxial compressive strength and tensile strength was decreased. It will make a plan to form a method of research systematically for mechanism and element of weathering and to elicit a correlation among experiment of artificial weathering and practical natural weathering from next research.

A laser scabbling experiment was performed using a high-power fiber laser to investigate the removal rate of the concrete block and the scabbled depth. Concrete specimens with a 28-day compressive strength of 30 MPa were used in this study. Initially, we conducted the scabbling experiment under a stationary laser beam condition to determine the optimum scan speed. The laser interaction time with the concrete surface varied between 3 s and 40 s. The degree of spalling and vitrification on the surface was primarily dependent on the laser interaction time and beam power. Furthermore, thermal images were captured to investigate the spatial and temporal distribution of temperature during the scabbling process. Based on the experimental results, the scan speed at which the optical head moved over the concrete was set to be 300 mm·min^-1 or 600 mm·min^-1 for the 4.8-kW or 6.8-kW laser beam, respectively. The spalling rates and average depth on the concrete blocks were measured to be 87 cm³·min^-1 or 227 cm³·min^-1 and 6.9 mm or 9.8 mm with the 4.8-kW or 6.8-kW laser beams, respectively.
