The results of an experiment on the sound absorption of the porous concrete and its influence on the compressive strength are reported in this paper. Two different sizes of coarse aggregate of 5~13, 13~20mm, and the design void ratio of 20, 25 and 30 percent for a given size of aggregate were used. In the compressive strength, an aggregate of the size of 5~13mm is much higher strength than that of the 13~20mm, In the sound absorption experiment, the size of aggregate of 5~l0mm is much higher sound absorption than that of the 13~20mm. The sound absorption ratio was increased as the design void ratio. As a result, Porous concrete sufficiently have the performance of sound absorption.

The results of an experiment on the sea water purification of the porous concrete using granular artificial zoelite and its influence on the physical and mechanical properties are reported in this paper. Two different sizes of coarse aggregate of 5$\∼$13, 13$\∼$20mm, and three of void ratio(15, 20 and 30 percent) for a given size of aggregate were used. In the water permeability, an aggregate of the size of 13$\∼$20mm is much higher than that of the 13$\∼$20mm, but the water permeability is smaller in the less design void ratio. and In the compressive strength, an aggregate of the size of 5$\∼$13mm is much higher strength than that of the 13$\∼$20mm, but the compressive strength is higher in the less design void ratio.

This paper presents the properties of pervious concrete containing high-calcium fly ash. The water to binder ratios of 0.19, 0.22, and 0.25, designed void ratios of 15, 20, and 25%, and fly ash replacements of 10, 20, and 30% were used. The results showed that the use of fly ash as partial replacement of Portland cement enhanced the mixing of paste resulting in a uniform mix and reduced amount of superplasticizer used in the mixture. The compressive strength and flexural strength of pervious concrete were slightly reduced with an increase in fly ash replacement level, while the abrasion resistance increased due mainly to the pozzolanic and filler effects. The compressive strength and flexural strengths at 28 days were still higher than 85% of the control concrete. The aggregate size also had a significant effect on the strength of pervious concrete. The compressive strength and flexural strength of pervious concrete with large aggregate were higher than that with small aggregate.

In this study, soil samples from the Antarctic and Vladivostok, Siberia were tested in the laboratory, and specific gravity, compaction curve and grain size distribution were determined. The effect of temperature change on the thermal conductivity, unfrozen water content and compressive strength were investigated. Samples for the compressive strength test were prepared in a mold with a fixed volume to prevent swelling and the effect of temperature and water content change on the strength were compared. Results from the thermal conductivity test showed that thermal conductivity values for both soils were larger at temperatures below freezing than above freezing. The unfrozen water content dropped sharply within a temperature range of $0{\sim}-5^{\circ}C$ and then gradually decreased further up to $-20^{\circ}C$. Compressive strength test results showed various stress/deformation curves with a change in water content. Sandy soil had much larger strength than pure ice at an identical temperature, while clayey soil had a smaller strength than ice near the freezing point, but showed a larger strength at temperatures belows $-15^{\circ}C$.

In order to investigate the effect of magnesia clinker on the characteristics of the investments, temperature change during setting, setting time, compressive strength and thermal expansion of the investments were measured, and x-ray analyses were also performed. The investments were prepared in accordance with variation of the content and the particle size of magnesia clinker respectively. From this experiment, the results were summarized as follows; 1. Temperature of the investments during setting rapidly increased with increase of MgO contents and decrease of the particle size of magnesia clinker. 2. Setting time decreased with increase of MgO contents and decrease of the particle size of magnesia clinker. 3. Compressive strength increased with increase of MgO contents and decrease of the particle size of magnesia clinker. 4. Thermal expansion decreased with increase of MgO contents and decrease of the particle size of magnesia clinker. From the above results, the investment which contains 8% of MgO (270-325mesh) could be recommended for phosphate investment castings.

The effect of sand grain size on the various properties of mold is not only basic but important interest which we have to deal with.And the relation among the various properties of mold (strength, permeability, flowability, compactability, hardness, deformation, toughness etc.) is very complicated and inaccurate, so we can delineate the behavior of mixture (sand+water+bentonite) with experience only. Within recent years a so-called rigid-water theory has been accepted as a means of advancing logical explanations for the research aimed at delineating sand-clay-water relationships. By changing grain size or mesh no. of grain, specimens have been subjected to green compressive strength, permeability, deformation, flowability, compactablity, toughness at room temperature. Under constant mulling energy and ratio of water/bentonite, the results obtained were as follows: 1. With decreasing grain size green compressive strength of the specimen increased. 2. With decreasing grain size permeability decreased. 3. With decreasing grain size flowability and bulk density decreased but compactability increased. 4. With decreasing grain size deformation decreased but toughness increased. 5. At 60 mesh no., the properties of specimen are conspicuously changed. The reason is that the total surface area of sand grain which affects the type of bonding between sand grains is more changed at 60 mesh number.

This study was performed to verify the effect of various testing conditions affecting measured compressive strength of concrete core and to compute the correction coefficients for it. Conditions of specimens affecting test results include size(diameter), height-diameter ratio, humidity of specimen, amount and arrangement of bar, core direction from structure and method of end preparation. In testing core strength of concrete, special cares should be taken on various testing conditions whose effects have been latent in conventional concrete.

The purpose of this study is to suggest optimum micro-filler experiment method to select the optimal particle size of earth for using in earth construction works and test this suggestion through compressive strength measurement. According to the results of selecting the method to choose the optimum micro-filler mixing of earth and sand, three-stage filling(plate tamping) showed relatively high results and so was estimated to be the proper filling method. According to the results of optimum micro-filler experiment of earth and sand by the maximal sizes of sand, between 80% and 90% showed the highest result values. The larger the maximum size of sand was, the lower the addition ratio of sand was in optimum micro-filler mixing. According to the results of compressive strength experiment by the particle sizes of earth and sand, 90% in the addition ratio of sand showed the highest results, and so tended to be similar to the results of unit volume weight experiment.

Recycling of waste tire has been limited and very simple, few applications have been observed. This study introduces a new elastic and permeable pavement made of scrap tire. Experimental results showed that key factors affecting the compressive strength were the size of scrap tire, size of aggregate, amounts and property of binder. Also, the water permeability depended on the size of aggregate and scrap tire. The compressive strength and water permeability of the samples were 1.4 and 116 times higher than those of the conventional porous cement concrete, respectively.

The effects of the specimen size and temperature on the compressive strength of ATJ graphite were investigated. Compressive tests were conducted in accordance with ASTM C 965 at room temperature, $700^{\circ}C$ and $900^{\circ}C$. Three types of cylindrical specimen at room temperature were used in uniaxial tests, where the diameter-to - length ratios were one to two for the ASTM standard specimen, one to one for the Type I specimen, and one to 0.5 for the Type II specimen. Two kinds of cylindrical specimens, with and without antioxidant coating, were tested at elevated temperature. The Compressive strength of the expanded specimens(Type I, II) were slightly higher than that of standard specimen at room temperature. The compressive strength of a specimen with antioxidant coating increased as the temperature increased to $900^{\circ}C$. In contrast, that of the non-coated specimen decreases sharply due to the oxidation of the specimen.
