The purpose of this study is to achieve a sufficient fluidity without segregation for normal compressive strength grade concrete mixture. The major obstacle of achieving fluidity of normal compressive strength grade concrete mixture is segregation. Hence, in this research, VMA was used to prevent segregation.

The aim of this research is selecting an economical aggregate type for ultra-high strength concrete with 80 to 120 MPa of compressive strength. As the tests, the effect of water-to-binder ratios and types of aggregate on autogenous shrinkage of ultra-high strength concrete were evaluated. as the results of a series of tests performed, the slump flow was satisfied the target range of 600 ± 100 mm, and the concrete mixture with RLA showed higher elastic modulus than the other cases. For the autogenous shrinkage preventing performance, in the case of water-to-binder ratio of 15, and 20 %, the mixture with BA showed slightly improved autogenous shrinkage reducing effect than the mixture with RLA while the mixture with RLA showed better performance at 25 % of water-to-binder ratio. Therefore, based on the tests results of slump flow, elastic modulus, and autogenous shrinkage, the RLA is considered as a better aggregate type for this purpose.

This paper investigated the temperature history of mass concrete mock up structure considering different heat generation by varying with mixture proportion. Setting time difference between high early strength mixture (E-P) and retarding mixture (R-F30) was 14.5hours. Incorporation of $30\%$ of fly ash contributed to $10^{\circ}C$ of hydration heat reduction. In generally used C and D combination, bottom concrete shows earlier hydration, while E-J combination showed reverse tendency and thus, this method can reduce the crack occurrence. Therefore, heat generation difference method has beneficial effect on reducing crack induced by hydration heat resulting from heat generation difference between surface and center section.

The main objective of this work is to contribute to the valorization of plastic and glass waste in the improvement of concrete properties. Waste glass after grinding was used as a partial replacement of the cement with a percentage of 15%. The plastic waste was cut and introduced as fibers with 1% by the total volume of the mixture. Mechanical and durability tests were conducted for various mixtures of concrete as compressive and flexural strengths, water absorption, ultrasonic pulse velocity, and acid attack. Also, other in-depth analyses were performed on samples of each variant such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric analysis (DSC-TGA), and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The results show that the addition of glass powder or plastic fibers or a combination of both in concrete improved in the compression and flexural strengths in the long term. The highest compressive strength was obtained in the mix which combines the two wastes about 26.72% of increase compared to the control concrete. The flexural strength increased in the mixture containing the glass powder. Therefore, the mixture with two wastes exhibits better resistance to aggressive sulfuric acid attack, and incorporating glass powder improves the ultrasonic pulse velocity.

Roller-compacted concrete(RCC) dam is a new type that combines advantages of earthfill dam and concrete dam in construction, This method save cost due to their rapid method of construction. RCC is, used in RCC dams, no-slump concrete so it is different that measure method of consistency and mixture properties compare with conventional mass concrete, There are existing two major design method, which one used in USA the other used in Japan. The results obtained in this study would be useful in establishing mixture proportions for dam concrete for RCC dams by apply method of compound their merit.

The main purpose of this paper is to evaluate the possibility of improvement in fatigue resistance of asphalt concrete mixture using the industrial waste material of K fiber. In this research, as an experimental equipment, the MTS with Closed-Loop Servohydraulic System was used and it was designed according to the U.S. standard testing procedure of ASTM D 4123. According to the test results, the optimum content of fiber with the length of 8mm was about 0.2 percent of total mixture weight. The optimum asphalt content for the fiber-reinforced asphalt concrete was about 5.5 percent of total mixture weight. Fatigue resistance of fiber-reinforced asphalt concrete was noticeable compared to the conventional dense-graded 20 asphalt concrete. In addition, the resilient moduli of fiber-reinforced asphalt mixture were $1.15{\sim}1.18$ times higher than those of conventional asphalt concrete.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the compressive strength property into concrete using rice straw ash.. In an effort to evaluate the effects of rice straw ash as mineral admixture, rice straw ash was mixed with cement at the mixture ratio of 0, 5, 10 and 15% relative to the cement weight. When the mixture ratio of rice straw ash was 10%, the highest compressive strength was observed, while the strength tended to decrease when the mixture ratio of rice straw ash was 15% even if it exhibited higher compressive strength than the plain. And it was observed that compressive strength of concrete containing rice husk ash was a similar a compressive strength of concrete containing silica fume.

In this research, by examining the influence that high quality fine aggregate and low quality fine aggregate have on the strength of concrete through tests, the manifest strength of concrete according to high quality fine aggregate was reviewed. The results showed that compared to low quality fine aggregate usage mixture, the unit volume to achieve the same liquidity decreased and accordingly the W/B also decreased therefore increasing the strength of concrete, and as high quality fine aggregate was used, it is determined that there can be improvements to the economically feasibility of usage mixture and improvement in durability etc.

The non-evaporable water and calcium hydroxides were measured by TG/DTA for studying the temperature effect on hydration of concrete mixture. The experimental parameters introduced in this study were the curing temperatures, ages and W/C ratios. The mixing temperature was also controlled to improve the efficiency of experimental work. While the mixture cured at high temperature showed the large quantity of non-evaporable water and calcium hydroxides at early age, the production rate of these hydration products was decreased as increasing the curing age, and the quantity of hydration product became smaller than that of the corresponding mixture cured at lower temperature at later age.

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.
