This is a fundamental research to utilize alkali activated cement(AAC) in concrete. The compressive strength of AAC concrete were measured for the various mixing ratios of activator/fly ash, and the mixing ratios of water glass, NaOH, and water among the activators. The mixing ratio of fine and coarse aggregates was maintained constantly. The relationships between the compressive strength and mixing ratios were analyzed to find the optimal mixing ratio of AAC concrete. As the results, the optimal mixing ratio of activator/fly ash in AAC concrete was 0.7, and that of water glass, NaOH, water among the activator was 4.0:1.0:2.5 for the maximum compressive strength.

This study is analyzed mechanical properties and durability of permeability porous concrete to mix polymer and steel fiber for the enhance of performance and durability of porous concrete. It proves that void ratio and permeability are tallied with internal and external standard of paving porous concrete. A property of strength is increased according as the mixing rate of polymer and steel fiber increase, but it showed the tendency to be reduced on the contrary when mixed upwards of 20% of polymer mixing rate and 0.9vol.% of steel fiber mixing rate. As a result, it is possible to make an enhanced which increased 16% of compressive strength and 30% of flexural strength steel fiber reinforced polymer porous concrete at the mixing rate of 10vol.% of polymer and 0.6% of steel fiber.

With the recent development in construction industry, industrial by-products fly ash(FA) and blast furnace slag(BS) have been used in large quantities as an alternative to cement, as a solution for environmental problems and resource exhaustion. This study analyzed the basic characteristics according to the changes in replacement ratio and mixing ratio of FA and BS in high strength SCMs concrete, from which in turn it sought to find the optimal mixing ratio for high strength concrete The results showed that in unhardened concrete the more the replacement ratio and FA mixing ratio increases the slump flow will increase while amount of air decreases, and setting time is delayed. In hardened concrete the more the replacement ratio and FA mixing ratio increases the more the overall compression strength decreases, but until 28 days of material age the larger of the BS ratio displayed the best compression strength.

Estimating the workability of self-compacting concrete (SCC) is very important both in laboratories and on construction site. A method using visual information during the mixing process was proposed in this paper to estimate the workability of SCC. First, fourteen specimens of concrete were produced by a single-shaft mixer. A digital camera was used to record all the mixing processes. Second, employing the digital image processing, the visual information from mixing process images was extracted. The concrete pushed by the rotating blades forms two boundaries in the images. The shape of the upper boundary and the vertical distance between the upper and lower boundaries were used as two visual features. Thirdly, slump flow test and V-funnel test were carried out to estimate the workability of each SCC. Finally, the vertical distance between the upper and lower boundaries andthe shape of the upper boundary were used as indicators to estimate the workability of SCC. The vertical distance between the upper and lower boundaries was related to the slump flow, the shape of the upper boundary was related to the V-funnel flow time. Based on these relationships, the workability of SCC could be estimated using the mixing process images. This estimating method was verified by three more experiments. The experimental results indicate that the proposed method could be used to automatically estimate SCC workability.

The bleeding of concrete is defined as a kind of separation of materials. The durability of concrete, as well as the quality caused by the bleeding. Therefore, This study is intended to find influence of cement and mixing time factor on the bleeding of concrete. We want to know two factors that determine the change, to provide it to our customers. According to the results, The bleeding ratio increase by the increase of mixing time factor. At the 90 second of mixing time, the amount of bleeding differ greatly from cement properties. This paper presents an experimental study on bleeding ratio, slump and compressive strength properties with three days. In addition, the mixing time is inversely related slump loss ratio, the initial value of the compressive strength is only affected by the mixing time. As a result, the bleeding of concrete was obtained that their characteristics depends on the cement and mixing time factor, also in the future, to derive optimum mixing time for a variety of review is necessary.

In this study, we processed two procedures of application test of filler for special-purpose utility that are new application methods of aerated concrete and properties test of aerated concrete according to mixing ratio because we investigated the better use of aerated concrete as filler for fireproof safety and we proposed basic data about standardization of mixing of aerated concrete. We measured flow and volume change of aerated concrete. And if its volume doesn't change, we added measuring unit weight and compressive strength. To test application of aerated concrete as filler for fireproof safety, we filled up aerated concrete to fireproof safety according to suitable mixing ratio. Then we measured maximum temperature of inner part of fireproof safety in accordance with the standard test of fireproof. According to the results, aerated concrete as filler for fireproof safety could be possibly used. So when we make aerated concrete, we should consider using an adding agent as well as a foaming agent.

In general. service life of the sea-shore concrete structures is largely influenced by the corrosion of reinforcing steel due to the chloride contamination, and the penetration of chloride ions into concrete is governed by concrete condition state as a micro-structure. In this study, characteristics of chloride diffusion in concrete are analyzed in accordance with the mixing properties and durability of concrete, by considering the facts that micro-structure of concrete varies with the mixing properties and can indirectly be analyzed by using the durability test. In order to predict the service life of existing concrete structures, chloride diffusion equation for the concrete structures under various service conditions and the major parameters used in that equation are formulated as the mathematical models. Based on the results of chloride diffusion analysis in accordance with the mixing properties and durability of concrete and mathematical models formulated in this study, a prediction system is developed to predict the corrosion initiation of reinforcing steel in the sea-shore concrete structures.

This study is focusing on mixing the foamed concrete incorporated by waste expanded polystyrene(W-EPS), investigating the physical properties and offering a proper quality control method to the field engineers. Two types of W-EPS (type A and type B) were studied. Type A (B) had globular (crushed) shape and diameter of 3-5 (1-2) mm. The results show that the flow was suddenly reduced with increasing mixing quantity of two types, but it satisfies KS F 4039 until 60 ％ of mixing rate. In general, the absorption rate was suddenly reduced with increased mixing quantity of two types especially, in type A. Apparent specific gravity was 0.36∼0.53 and reduced with increasing mixing quantify of type A. But it increased in case of type B. Compressive strength and heat conduction rate increased with mixing with W-EPS than non-mixing W-EPS but reduced with mixing too much W-EPS. Based ong the results, it is believed that mixing with W-EPS can improve the recycle of industrial wastes and produce the high quality foamed concrete.

Carbonation of the root concrete reduces the durability of the reinforced concrete, and it is important to check the carbonation resistance of the concrete to ensure the durability of the reinforced concrete structure. In this study, a basic study on the prediction of carbonation progress was conducted by considering the mixing conditions of concrete using deep learning algorithm during the theory of artificial neural network theory. The data used in the experiment used values that converted the carbonation velocity coefficient obtained from the mixing conditions of concrete and the accelerated carbonation experiment into the actual environment. The analysis shows that the error rate of the deep learning model according to the Hidden Layer is the best for the model using five layers, and based on the five Hidden layers, we want to verify the predicted performance of the carbonation speed coefficient of the carbonation test specimen in which the exposure experiment took place in the real environment.
