Due to many advantages of advanced composite materials, research on the application of composites to the construction industry is initiated. In this paper, fabrication methods efficient for infrastructures and application examples of each method are discussed. It also presents the structural characteristics of concrete filled glass fiber reinforced composite tubular member. Experimental results shows that strength and ductility of composite compression member is considerably increased due to concrete confinement action of composite surface.

The recycled aggregate obtained from the recycled concrete may be used in road construction as crushed aggregate. The properties of recycled aggregate are reached to the values in accordance with specification for the subbase layer of the road construction. However, for the base layer of road construction, the mixtures of recycled aggregate and crushed aggregate have to be used in order to satisfy the specification. In the Batch Leaching Test the recycled aggregate has lower content of heavy matal and organic matter than those written in environmental pollution law. So it does not occur the environmental pollution.

In recent years, due to the construction boom the demand of cement is increasing suddenly and the use of imported cement is inevitable. But, because the quality of imported cement varies quite a lot, many problems have been encountered in construction fields. These problems include hardening retardation, lower early strength and crack of concrete. The object of this study is to explain causes for hardening retardation from a construction field case and propose a solution

To evaluate the applicability of the construction method involving infilling CFT columns by pumping-up, a trial construction was done using 6 actual size test samples. The 12.8m-high test samples were similar to a four-story building scale. The pumping-up level was controlled at 12m. The test used two types of high performance concrete with $450kgf/cm^2$ standard design strength, and a concrete pump which is used domestically. The pressure changes in pipes or pump as well as the changes in concrete characteristics were measured during construction. in order to evaluate applicability. After the concrete hardened, the column was dismantled. The filled state of the concrete, concrete strength distribution according to column height, etc., were checked to evaluate the quality of the concrete, From the results, some basic data which characterize the pumping-up pressure were suggested. Also, the strength of hardened concrete as well as the filled state were proven to be acceptable ranges.

A ubiquitous environment in construction should be developed integrating hardware and software systems. The objective of this paper is to study the feasibility of applying the RFID technology to the concrete pour process, and improve the effectiveness of data exchange A pilot system of u-CPS (Ubiquitous Concrete Pour System) has been developed to test the feasibility. The pilot can automatically generate the data for concrete pour work such as departure time, arrival time, concrete pour time. Construction managers can keep track of the progress of concrete pour work using the information. A case study was done for a building construction using the pilot system, the result of which demonstrated that the RFID-base system can help improve the effectiveness of data communication during the concrete pour process.

A reinforced concrete building neighboring in Pusan or Ulsan where is directly exposed to salt water contrasting with other in land areas contains much salt content percolated from the outside that the high salt content percolates and diffuses through the inside of reinforced concrete; therefore, an immovable tunic surrounding it begins to be destroyed and eroded with high speed. At the time, the cross-sectional area and volume expansion of re-bar reinforcing result in being cracks make a rapid progress gradually until they appear in the surface of the one, the phenomenon such as being a thin layer or falling off the part of it causes a lowering of its durability and might collapse the concrete construction. So far, we've investigated into salt content of reinforced concrete constructions neighboring in a seaside district and damage by carbonation, and we came to a conclusion as follows: $\circled1$ Under the oceanic circumstance a concrete construction is influenced by sea water directly that contains much amount of salt content contrasting with other constructions on inland areas. $\circled2$ Because of chloride penetration the carbonation of reinforced concrete made a rapid progress until more than the covering thickness of re-bar. $\circled3$ An old reinforced concrete building which has been piled up salt injury and proceeding the carbonation of its cross-sectional area. $\circled4$ According to rapidly cracking from the inside to surface of reiforced concrete, the phenomenon of being a thin layer or falling off the part of reinforced concrete results in a lowering of durability and shortening the life-time of concrete construction itself.

This study is to evaluate on the increased cost of construction according to the depth change of concrete slabs in apartment building. When we increased the depth of concrete slab from 150mm to 180, 210mm, the qualitative and cost of construction were calculated by the high-rise type, the unit-size type. As a result of this study, in 32 Pyong type, increment of construction cost rate appeared by $5.1\%$ in case of increase from slab 150mm to 180mm, and $10.0\%$ in case of increase from slab 150mm to 210mm. In 45 Pyong type, Increment of construction cost rate appeared by $5.7\%$ in case of increase from slab 150mm to 180mm, and $10.2\%$ in case of increase from slab 150mm to 210mm. In 55 Pyong type, Increment of construction cost rate appeared by $2.4\%$ in case of increase from slab 150mm to 180mm, and $8.9\%$ in case of increase from slab 150mm to 210mm.

In this study, In order to apply the U-flanged truss hybrid beam to the actual construction site, the structural design of the basic module of the middle and low-rise neighborhood living facilities was performed according to the Korea Design Standard, and the construction cost and construction period were compared with the traditional reinforced concrete structure system. As a result of analyzing the construction cost for the basic module, if the U-flanged truss hybrid beam and D-Deck slab system are used, the construction cost can be reduced by 86% compared to the traditional reinforced concrete structure system. In addition, as a result of analyzing the construction period for a floor area of 1,000m², using the U-flanged truss hybrid beam and D-Deck slab system can save 2.0days in construction period compared to the traditional reinforced concrete structure system. Therefore, the U-flange truss hybrid beam can secure sufficient economic feasibility compared to the existing reinforced concrete method in terms of cost reduction and shortening of construction period.

Recently, as architectural concrete structures become high-rise and megastructured, concrete become high-strengthened and, by ensuring products of more stability, air compression and rationalization of construction are required. In general, product management test of precast concrete member, specimen for management cured in the same condition with precast concrete member is substitutively used for strength test. However, large cross-sectional precast concrete members such as columns show large temperature increase in manufacturing process not only by external heating but also by concrete itself's hydration heating. Therefore, it is expected that specimen for management to predict strength and compression strength of precast concrete member shows different temperature history and strength characteristics. Concerning this, in order to suggest temperature history and strength characteristics of high strength mass concrete suitable for precast concrete application, this study comprises the inclusive investigations on the relations between management specimen with similar temperature history and core strength, and the strength characteristics per member cross-section dimensional value and per water-bonding material ratio value.
