The purpose of this study was to investigate the compressive strength property into mortar using rice straw ash. In an effort to evaluate the effects of rice straw ash firing temperatures on compressive strength properties of mortar, a change in the components of rice straw ash was observed according to firing temperatures, and compressive strength of mortar and X.R.F was measured. As a results, As the mortar with a mixture ratio of rice straw ash up to 15% was found to have a compressive strength superior to that of plain mortar.

An experimental program was carried out to investigate the mechanical properties of high-strength concrete. High-strength concrete with compressive strengths of 80 to 120 MPa was tested. Test results are presented regarding effect of water-binder ratio on compressive strength and compressive strength gain. In addition, the effect of curing methods on compressive strength, elastic modulus, splitting tensile strength, and modulus of rupture is investigated. Test results of elastic modulus, splitting tensile strength, and modulus of rupture are compared with predictions from the current design recommendations. Predictions of elastic modulus by using KCI recommendation has good agreement with test results. However, predictions of modulus of rupture by using KCI recommendation underestimate the test results. ACI 363R recommendations predict well test results of splitting tensile strength and modulus of rupture. ACI 363R recommendations for predicting splitting tensile strength and modulus of rupture can be used for high-strength concrete with compressive strengths up to 120 MPa.

This study is aim to assess mechanical properties which is highly related to structural safe and durability of 100MPa high strength concrete mixed with amorphous metallic fiber. All specimens were heated with low velocity heating rate(1℃/min.), residual compressive strength and residual flexural strength was evaluated. The specimens were cooled down to room temperature after heating. As a result, in the case of 100MPa high-strength concrete, the residual compressive strength enhancing effect of amorphous metallic fiber has showed with the mix proportion of fiber. In addition, residual flexural strength showed more regular pattern before 300℃ then residual compressive strength, but simillar decreasing behavior was shown after 300℃ like residual compressive strength. Further study about fiber pull-out behavior and fiber mechanical, chemical property change due to temperature is needed.

The existing techniques used to estimate and manage the compressive strength of concrete do not include the environmental factors that influence the development of compressive strength and the compressive strength itself. Thus, it is necessary to develop a reasonable yet simple way to measure the compressive strength of concrete structures at construction sites by considering concrete's mechanical properties and curing environment. This study was conducted to propose an acrylic form and a junction isolation mold with crack-inducing boards that uses non-destructive methods to create and collect concrete test samples that are cured in the same condition as the actual concrete structures. junction isolation molds were used in high-strength and super high-strength concrete to evaluate the reliability of compressive strength evaluation on the test sample. The following were the findings of this study:

Prism compressive strength is the most influential parameter to evaluate the seismic performance of non-structural concrete brick masonry walls, and is affected by the practice and workmanship of masonry workers. This study experimentally investigates the influence of workmanship on prism compressive strength throughout the compressive test with prism specimens constructed according to masonry workmanship. To do this, the workmanship is categorized into good, fair, and poor conditions which are statistically evaluated with thickness and indentation depth of bed-joints. Then, the effect of workmanship on the structural properties of masonry prisms is evaluated by investigating relations between properties such as their compressive strength, elastic modulus and numerical parameters such as thickness, filling of bed-joints. This study demonstrates that the indentation depth is more important parameter for structural properties of masonry prisms and masonry prisms with loss in bed-joint area less than of 7% can be in fair condition.

The purpose of this study is to investigate properties of compressive strength of concrete using the shale rock as coarse aggregates. To evaluate properties of compressive strength of concrete using crushed shale rock, we performed the expriment according to the proportioning strength of $10MPa\~40MPa$ and the slupm of $12\%\~15\%$. The result of this study is as follow. The compressive strength of concrete using crushed shale rock is lower than those of granite aggregates. The proportioning strength is higher, the reduction of comperssive strength of concrete using the shale rock is higher.

This paper concerns the mechanical properties of recycled plastic fiber-reinforced concrete. It presents experimental research results of recycled fiber-reinforced concrete with fiber volume fractions of 0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, and 2%. Experiments were performed to measure mechanical properties such as compressive strength, elastic modulus, tensile strength, and length changes. The results show that both compressive strength and elastic modulus decreased as fiber volume fraction increased. In addition, the experimental results show that recycled fiber-reinforced concrete is in favor of split tensile strength, flexural tensile strength, characteristic regarding crack mouth opening displacement, and length changes. The results of this study can be used to provide realistic information for modeling of mechanical properties in recycled plastic fiber-reinforced concrete in the future.

The aim of this study was to investigate the change in compressive strength, freacture behavior and degradation of piezoelectric properties with compressive cyclic loading in Pb(Zr, Ti)O3 of tetragonal, morphotropic phase boundary and rhombohedral composition. The highest compressive strength was found in rhombohedral composition. After poling treatment the strength increased by 8.4% and 6.5% in tetragonal and morphotropic phase boundary compositions respectively while changed little in rhombohedral. The increase of compressive strength after poling treatment is believed to be due to the internal stress around grain boundary by domain alginment toward electric field direction in the microstructures having tetragonality and the occurrence of domain switching to the direction perpendicular to electrical field during fracture. Fracture mode relatively change from transgranular to intergranular was observed in the large grain sized tetragonal and morphotropic phase boundary compositions before and after poling but the transgranular fracture mode always remained in the rhombohedral composition. From the X-ray diffractometer analysis the domains parallel to the electric field direction is known to undergo rearrangement during the cyclic loading into random direction that is responsible for the degradation of piezoelectric property.

In this research, the effect of types of aggregate and SP on fundamental properties of ultra-high performance concrete of 80 MPa of compressive strength was evaluated to provide solution for high cost of ultra-high performance concrete. As the results of a series of tests, the mixture using limestone and silica aggregates showed improved workability rather than the mixture using granite aggregate. For compressive strength of UHPC, the UHPC mixtures using limestone and silica aggregates showed higher compressive strength than the UHPC mixture using granite aggregate while all mixtures satisfied target compressive range.

This study investigated the drying shrinkage and compressive strength properties of mortar by the blaine of ferro-nickel slag powder to estimate the applicability of ferro-nickel slag powder for cement replacement materials. As a test result, the blaine of ferro-nickel slag powder increased, the compressive strength increased and the shrinkage rate decreased.
