Slipforming is a construction method in which the forms move continuously during the placement of concrete. This paper presents the development of a computer aided program designated as "CADSLIPFORM" for slipforming operations. The program incorporates maturity methods for the prediction of initial setting times of slipform concrete layers using laboratory data (time-temperature histories and setting times of concrete mixtures at different temperatures) and generates slipform mock-up times. The performance of CADSLIPFORM is validated by comparing simulated mock-up times with those estimated in the field through conventional hard front by rod (R) method. Moreover, the program versatility is demonstrated by illustrating mock-up simulations for different cases with variable slipform parameters such as: number and thickness of concrete layers, concrete temperature (simulating variable setting times) and slipform speed. The program also incorporates the choice of Freiesleben Hansen & Pederson (FHP) and Carino & Tank (CT) maturity functions. CADSLIPFORM can assist user to develop reliable schedule of slipforming operation suitable for a specific project by optimizing various slipform parameters.

콘크리트의 강도발현을 양생온도와 재령의 함수로 나타내는 적산온도 방법은 시멘트 콘크리트의 강도추정에 폭넓게 사용되어 왔다. 본 연구에서는 열경화성인 불포화 폴리에스터 수지를 결합재로 한 경량 폴리머 모르터를 대상으로 하여 적산온도법에 의한 초기강도 추정방법을 구명하였다. 폴리머 모르터의 압축강도는 가사시간 및 강도발현성에 영향을 미치는 촉매 및 촉진제 첨가량을 변화시켜 실험하였으며, 또한 적산온도 이론식에 사용되는 기준온도를 산출하였다. 적산온도는 추정된 기준온도를 적용시킨 적산온도 이론식에의해 산출하였으며 경량폴리머 모르터의 압축강도는 적산온도-압축강도의 관계로부터 추정할 수 있었다. 이 연구에서 얻어진 적산온도법에 의한 경량 폴리머 모르터의 강도추정식은 열경화성 수지를 이용한 각종 폴리머 모르터나 콘크리트에도 적용가능할 것으로 판단된다.

The major object of this study is to investigate experimentally the experimental equation by the non-destructive testing methods of ultrasonic pulse velocity, rebound number, combined method of ultrasonic pulse velocity and rebound number, maturity which are applicable to the evaluation of compressive strength of concrete at early ages. Also test result of mix are statistically analyzed to infer the correlation coefficient between the maturity and the compressive strength of concrete. The results show good application of Logistic curve for estimating strength development under various curing temperature. The relation between ultrasonic pulse velocity, rebound number, combined method of ultrasonic pulse velocity and rebound number and compressive strength of concrete have low correlation coefficient, but maturity method show good correlation coefficient.

성숙도는 비파괴시험으로 현장 콘크리트 강도를 시간과 온도의 함수로 추정하는 방법이다. 본 연구의 주목적은 실내실험에서 추정한 성숙도 곡선을 이용하여 whitetopping의 줄눈절삭과 교통개방의 시간을 결정하는 것이다. 또한 대기온도가 콘크리트 슬래브 온도와 성숙도에 미치는 영향을 평가하였고, 줄눈절삭과 교통개방시기를 결정하기 위해 성숙도 곡선을 개발하였다. i-button을 슬래브 내부에 설치하여 온도를 계측하였고, strain gauge를 이용하여 변위를 측정하였다. 실내실험에서 얻어진 성숙도 곡선을 이용하여 현장 압축강도를 예측한 결과, 현장 압축강도와 성숙도 곡선에서 예측된 압축강도와는 상당한 차이를 나타냈다. 이와 같은 결과는 현장의 양생조건, 대기온도, 풍속을 포함하는 여러 인자가 현장콘크리트 강도에 중요한 영향을 미치는 것으로 판단되었다. 여러 인자 중에서 대기온도의 변화에 따른 슬래브 온도와 성숙도 값에 미치는 영향을 평가한 결과, 대기온도는 슬래브 온도와 성숙도에 큰 영향을 미치는 것을 알 수 있었다. 특히 대기온도에 따른 성숙도 곡선의 기울기는 감소하였으며, 이는 대기온도가 감소함에 따라 성숙도 값이 급격히 감소하였다.

This study investigated to predict the compressive strength of unsaturated polyester resin based polymer concrete using the maturity method. The test results show that the development of the compressive strength increased exponentially until an age of 24 hours. After 24 hours, the development of the compressive strength just increased gradually. This test result shows that the strength of unsaturated polyester resin based polymer concrete was developed mainly at the early age. Estimated datum temperature of unsaturated polyester resin based polymer concrete was $-20.67^{\circ}C$ which was much lower than of datum temperature ($-10^{\circ}C$) of Portland cement concrete. Also, this study result shows that the existing maturity index associated with Portland cement concrete was not applicable for polymer concrete because curing time of Portland cement concrete is different clearly with curing time of polymer concrete. The cause of different curing time was that there were different curing mechanisms between Portland cement concrete and polymer concrete. In order to best apply the experimental data to a model, CurveExpert Professional, the commercial software, was used to determine the predictive model regarding the compressive strength of unsaturated polyester resin based polymer concrete. As a result, Gompertz Relation or Weibull Model was an appropriate model as a predictive model. The proposed model can be used to predict the compressive strength, especially, it is more useful when the maturity is in the range between $40^{\circ}C{\cdot}h^{0.4}$ and $900^{\circ}C{\cdot}h^{0.4}$.

The study on the strength prediction using Maturity is mainly focused on, but the study on the concrete mixing blast furnace slag powder is insufficient. The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationships between compressive strength and equivalent age by Maturity function and is to compare and examine the strength prediction of concrete mixing Blast Furnace Slag Power using ACI and Logistic Curve prediction equation. So it is intended that fundamental data are presented for quality management and process management of concrete mixing Blast Furnace Slag Power in the construction field.

The maturity concept was adopted to predict the strength of concrete, which was subjected to same temperature conditions and variable curing conditions. Penetration test and compressive test were conducted to measure the initial and final setting time and the compressible strength of concrete specimen, respectively. Also, the temperature and time were recorded at some intervals of time for calculating the maturity. The initial and final setting were delayed as the w/c ratio increased and curing temperature decreased. The activating energy decreased as the w/c ratio increased. The relationships at the relative strength and the maturity were proposed at different w/c ratio for the same temperature curing condition, and these were applied for the variable curing conditions. The results indicated that the difference between the strength of the proposed and the specimen was big at 1 days's age but quite similar after 3 day's age.

When concrete exposed to low temperatures, the free water in the concrete is freeze. If the pressure developed exceeds the tensile strength of the concrete, the cavity will dilate and rupture. It cause expansion and cracking, scaling and crumbling of the concrete. In this study, to prevent such damage, five different types of form were used. Concrete was poured into each form, cured for 7 days at temperature of -10℃. To measure the temperature history, two thermocouples were installed on each of the inside and outside. And to measure the compressive strength, collected core from each form. The maturity is formed by temperature history. The maturity and the compressive strength has a correlation.

The exiting studies on the strength prediction by maturity method is mainly focused on concrete using OPC, meanwhile the study on the concrete mixing blast furnace slag powder (BFSP) is insufficient. The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationships between compressive strength and equivalent age by existing Maturity functions, i.e., Nurse-saul function Arrhenius function. This study also compared and examined the strength prediction of concrete mixing BGSP using ACI model and Logistic Curve prediction equation. Therefore, it is intended that fundamental data are presented for quality management and process management of concrete mixing BFSP.

Prediction of compressive strength of concrete by Maturity Method is applied in construction site. However, due to the use of wired type high-priced equipment, economic efficiency and workability are falling. In this study, a newly developed concrete embedded wireless sensor is used to perform a mock-up test. Next, the concrete compressive strength of the Maturity Method is predicted using Saul and Plowman's function as measured temperature data. The predicted concrete strength at the beginning of the age was the actual strength and stiffness, but the error rate was less than 1% at 28th day.
