The strength development of Flyash concrete containing various amount of Flyash (0, 10, 30, 50%) using as a cement replacement material was investigated two types of curing conditions, namely water curing at $21^{\cire}C$ and steam curing at $25^{\cire}C$ were adopted for this work, in water curing the strength development of Flyash concrete was always inferior to that of OPC (Ordinary Portland Cement) concrete at early ages, although the differences were dependant up percentage of Flyash. The strength of Flyash concrete based on equivalent strength development at 28 days was also tested and the results exhibited that the strength was improved at early days, specially, the concrete containing 30% of Flyash, in steam curing for the same mix(270kg/$\textrm{cm}^2$) the strength of Flyash concrete similar to that of OPC concrete, in other words. Flyash was strongly influenced by curing temperature in the strength development.

Curing reaction was carried out with the acrylic resin (ACR) [n-butyl acrylate/atyrene/2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate/acetoacetoxyethyl methacrylate (AAEM)] synthesized before and a curing agent, hexamethoxymethylmelamine (HMMM). With rotational rheometer, the effect of catalysts on curing rate of acrylic resin/melamine was examined. Among the four catalysts used, p-toluene sulfonic acid showed the highest reactivity, and the optimum amount of catalyst was 0.5 phr. It was observed that in the ACR/HMMM curing reaction, gelation point was lowered with the increasing the amount of AAEM and HMMM in the ACR.

This study has been carried out to examine the properties of concrete according to replacement ratio and curing method of fly ash, in order to increase utilization of it. As the result of experiments, the 7 days of early age strength presented around 20MPa, up to 20% of replacement ratio, which is almost the same strength as non-replacement. However, when the replacement ratio was 30%, the strength was decreased to 16MPa, as 20% reduction compared to the non-replacement condition. In 365 days of long term aging, the strength was 5% higher, up to 20% of the replacement ratio, due to the pozzolanic reaction of fly ash. When the replacement ratio was 30%, it presented similar strength development as the non-replacement condition. Steam curing and autoclave curing increased the short age strength, regardless of the replacement ratio of fly ash; however, they don't have an effect on increasing the 365 days of long term strength. Water curing showed high strength development after 28 days, 51.81MPa, which is around 30% higher than air curing, 38.9MPa, steam curing, 38.6MPa, and autoclave curing, 39MPa. Therefore, water curing was examined as one of the very effective curing methods for developing long term strength of concrete.

This study aimed to evaluate the effect of post-curing equipment and time on the flexural strength of 3D printing resins produced by a liquid crystal display(LCD) printer. The three 3D printing resins(DENTCA Denture Teeth, DT; C&B 5.0 hybrid, CH; C&B Permanent A2, CP) were divided into four groups according to post-curing time(10 min and 30 min) and equipment with or without vacuum treatment. For the three-point flexural strength test and biaxial strength test were prepared by method according to ISO 10477, ISO 6872, respectively. Flexural strength was measured with universal testing machine. Comparison between post-curing time of each post-curing equipment was analyzed by independent sample t-test and Mann-Whitney U test(α=.05), and comparison between groups according to each 3D printing resin was performed by Kruskal-Wallis test and post-hoc by Bonferroni-Dunn test(α=.05). The flexural strength of the resin post-curing under vacuum was higher than that of the resin post-curing in air. In the comparison according to the post-curing time, in the case of the post-curing equipment without vacuum, the 30 minute curing time showed significantly higher flexural strength than the 10 minute curing time, except for the biaxial flexural strength of CH(P<.05). In the post-curing equipment with vacuum, the three-point flexural strength of all 3D printing resins(DT, CH, and CP) showed a higher value at 30 minute curing time than at 10 minute curing time.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of adhesive curing timing on the direction of polymerization shrinkage of light-curing composite resin. In this study, the curing times of adhesive and composite resin were measured by differential scanning calorimeter(DSC). 28 extracted human molars were embedded in clear resin and box-type cavities were prepared. Based on DSC data, the experimental teeth were divided into 4 groups. Group 1: no bond; Group 2: late curing; Group 3: Intermediate curing; Group 4: Early curing. After treating with adhesive, the buccal cavities were filled with Z-100 hybrid composite resin and the lingual ones were filled with AEliteflo flowable composite resin. The depressions at the surface were measured by surface profilometer, then the specimens were embedded in clear resin and sectioned. Impressions were obtained and used to get epoxy resin replicas. The epoxy replicas were gold-coated and observed under SEM. Average Maximum Gap(AMG), Gap Proportion(GP), Average Marginal Index(AMI) were used to compare the shrinkage gap of each group. The results were statistically analyzed using the Kruskal-Wallis One Way ANOVA, Student-Newman-Keuls method. The results of this study were as follows. 1. Average Maximum Gap, Gap Proportion, Average Marginal Index and depression at the surface or Z-100 hybride composite resin were smaller than those of AEliteflo flowable composite resin(P<0.05). 2. When the bonding between composite resin and tooth structure was strong, the shrinkage gap was small, and depression at the surface was deep(P<0.05). 3. In the well-bonded group, light-curing composite resin shrank toward bonded cavity wall, not toward light source. The result suggested that the direction of polymerization shrinkage was affected by the quality of bonding in the dentin-resin interface. The strong was the bonding between composite resin and tooth structure, the smaller was the gap and the deeper was the depression at the surface. Then the flow to compensate the polymerization shrinkage proceeded from surface to bonded cavity wall.

This study presents the results of experiments to investigate the effect of polymer type and curing temperature on the mechanical properties of polymer mortar. Setting time of two types of polymers, hardening-delayed polymer(HDP) and rapid hardening polymer(RHP), was tested to check the working time. Additionally, flexural strength, compressive strength, and splitting tensile strength was investigated for mortars using these polymers. From these results, it was confirmed that, irrespective to curing temperature, RHP mortar at the curing age of 24h develops the similar mechanical properties to maximum properties and HDP mortar is more sensitive to the curing temperature. In addition, it should be noted that RHP mortar and HDP mortar are suitable in winter and summer, respectively.

The bulk curing experiment to the improve the quality of flue-cured leaves were carried out to evaluate relationship between cyclic curing and conventional curing method. We studied the effect of the cyclic change of wet bulb temperature at the yellowing stage of flue curing on chemical properties of cured leaves. The wet bulb temperature was automatically controlled between preset high($38^{\circ}C$) and low point ($35^{\circ}C$) everyone hour cyclically during 12 hours after starting luring. As a result, the acceleration of the increase in the chemical properties of cured leaves were observed. As to the chemical properties, there was decreased in citric acid, increased in malic acid of the nonvolatile organic acids and all higher fatty acids content of leaves cured by this method compared with in that of conventional curing method, while a major chemical compounds in relation to aromatic essence of cigarette smoke in essential oil components of lured leaves was mostly higher in this method than those of conventional ones, and it was evaluated that there was decreased in CO, TPM, Tar, and $CO_2$ content of the cigarette smoke comparing to the conventional luring method.

When assessing crack initiation of fiber reinforced concrete, usually tensile strength or flexural strength is becomes indicator, but also depend on the curing effect take place during the production of specimen. In general, after conducting concrete specimen is cured by water at temperature $20{\pm}3^{\circ}C$ in laboratory, and accomplished the assessment of strength, but most of concrete structure is kept in drying condition after moist curing through the prescribed period. However, unlike these trends that technological advances have been made, influence of the difference of curing method on crack strength is not yet clear. Therefore, in this study, it is examined on the effect of curing methods affecting the mechanical property of fiber reinforced concrete, especially crack strength.

To investigate the curing temperature effect on the engineering properties of ground granulated blast furnace slag-cement bentonite (GGBS-CB) slurry for cutoff walls, the laboratory experiments including the setting time, unconfined compressive strength, and permeability tests were carried out. The mixing procedure for GGBS-CB slurry was as follows: (1) montmorillonite-based bentonite slurry was first fabricated and hydrated for four hours, and (2) cement or GGBS with cement was added to the bentonite slurry. The dosage range of GGBS was from 0 to 90 % of cement by mass fraction. The GGBS-CB slurry specimens were cured and stored in environmental chamber at temperature of 14±1, 21±1, 28±1℃ and humidity of 95±2% until target days. The highest average temperature of three seasons in South Korea was selected and used for the tests. The experimental results indicated that in early age (less than 28 days) of curing the engineering properties of GGBS-CB slurry were primarily affected by the curing temperature, whereas the replacement ratio of GGBS became a main factor to determine the properties of the slurry as the curing time increased.
