This paper investigated the possibility of quality restoration of deteriorated concrete caused by long distance delivery using chemical admixtures such as superplasticizer. AE agent and retarding agent. According to test results, long distance delivery lead to reducing fluidity and air content markedly, while setting time accelerated. Quality restoration agent(QRA) was made by combining super- plasticizer. AE agent and retarding agent with the proportion of 1:0.0025:0.1. It was confirmed that deteriorated concrete achieved quality restoration with the level of target slump, air content and setting time without strength loss when using QRA with proper amount.

In the automotive industry, such as scrap metal and plastic scrap process is being recycled. Although the glass beads are used as road paving or other additives and processing crushing, recycling is known that there are limits. The utilization of waste glass was evaluated as a concrete admixture by using powder characteristics and chemical composition of the glass. As a result of using waste-glass powder as an admixture, it is difficult to expect the pozzolanic effect, but it is found that it can increase the fluidity of concrete and ensure the durability performance in the appropriate amount range.

This study investigates mechanical properties of the concrete using coarse particle cement which is manufactured by the classifying process. The variable factors are 3 types of W/C such as 40, 50, and 60% and 5types of the replacement of the coarse particle cement such as 0, 25, 50, 75, and 100%. As the results, amount of SP agent to secure the target fluidity is gradually declined in accordance with increasing CC replacement. There is no special tendency for target air content, but setting time is delayed according to increasing CC content. The peak of the simple adiabatic temperature rise is gradually decreased in accordance with increasing CC content, and approach time to peak is slightly delayed. The compressive strength is comparatively delayed.

In this study, the effect of the change in the cement contents on the basic properties of the concrete and the estimation of the cement contents of hardened concretes using the hydrochloric acid melting heat. As a result of the study, as the cement contents increased, the fluidity and compressive strength increased, and there was no significant difference in the air contents and the unit volume mass. In addition, it showed a high correlation when compared with the estimated cement contents derived using the hydrochloric acid melting and the cement contents at the time of mixing. Therefore, it is considered that the hydrochloric acid melting is possible as a method of estimating the cement contents of concrete.

Microscopic defects within the microstructure of hardened cement paste are the main source of weakness in concrete. As a solution, nano-graphene oxide (GO) can be employed to improve the cement paste microstructure. However, there is a number of disadvantages, e.g., fluidity reduction and non-uniform dispersion. The present study sought to modify GO by fabricating a copolymer (PSGO) in a novel process to exploit the advantages of nano-GO while minimizing its disadvantages. Using 0.03wt% copolymerled to 38.8% higher tensile strength, 29.3% higher compressive strength and 25% higher workability. The SEM images revealed that GO and modified GO enhanced concrete by secondary hydration and bonding with C-S-H, creating a firm, integrated, and foil-like structure, and reducing the crack size and depth.

Recently, the knowledge access about concrete might be 2 methods. One is approach about advanced and new technical development through the institute journal, the other is construction technology which is using at construction fields. However, there is no research for the interrelationship between them. So, this paper investigates the demands on construction fields at the ready mixed concrete plants on the 4 cities, the characteristics of the products like the maximum size of coarse aggregate and slump, and the extension of market on the high strength and flow ability concrete in 2000 and 2008. Moreover, this study would like to propose the investigation about diversification of construction materials for the fine construction cultures and development of the ready mixed concrete to the engineers at the construction fields.

The experiment was carried out to investigate the influence of coarse aggregate, admixture, and accelerator on the properties of concrete. As the maximum size of coarse aggregate decreased from 13 mm to 8 mm, fluidity of fresh concrete declined but compressive strength and dynamic modulus of elasticity of hardened concrete increased remarkably. The mechanical properties of concrete substituted silica fume to the plain concrete improved, the compressive strength of that substituted blast furnace slag increased slightly. The hydration reaction and compressive strength of specimen with sodium luminate type accelerator were high at initial, but specimen with alkali free type accelerator improved largely in 28 days.

This study investigates the properties of light weight foamed concrete (LWC) designed with various content of fine grains (FG). Test showed that LWC containing diverse powder materials with addition, more than 15% of FG, tended to decrease the fluidity of fresh concrete. 10% of FG content in LWC exhibited 4mm in sinking depth, which is the lowest value. This value dramatically increased at more than 15% of addition. However the concrete incorporating LSP proportionally increased the sinking depth in overall. As for the strength, the values of all specimens were under standardization of KS, except for the concrete adding 5 and 10% of FG. Apparent density of LWC showed the lowest value when used 10% of FG which was satisfied the 0.5 grade in KS. For the thermal conductivity, it was also indicated at 0.5 grade in KS, which is under $0.160W/(m{\cdot}k)$. In conclusion, it is demonstrated that adding 10% of FG in LWC was effective in the aspects of recycling of materials, cost effectiveness and quality.

This study investigated the fundamental properties and shrinkage properties of high performance concrete with water/binder ratio of 0, 30 and with combination of expansive additive and shrinkage reducing agent. According to the results, the fluidity of high performance concrete showed lower the using method in combination with expansive additive and shrinkage reducing agent than the separately using method of that, so the amount of superplasticizer increased when the adding ratio of expansive additive and shrinkage reducing agent increased. However the air content of concrete increased when used in combination with expansive additive and shrinkage reducing agent, so the amount of AE agent decreased. The compressive strength showed the highest at 5% of expansive additive, and decreased with an increase of the amount of shrinkage reducing agent. Furthermore, in order to reduce the shrinkage of high performance concrete, it was found that the using method in combination with expansive additive and shrinkage reducing agent was more effective than separately using method of that. Autogenous shrinkage was predicted using JCI model. Because JCI model is unable to consider the effect of EA and SRA, correction factor should be added to enhance the accuracy.
