High strength steel is widely used in industrial applications to improve the load-bearing capacity and reduce the overall weight and cost. To take advantage of the benefits of this type of steel in construction, an innovative hybrid fabricated member consisting of high strength steel tubes welded to mild steel plates has recently been developed. Component-scale uniaxial and multiaxial cyclic experiments have been conducted with simultaneous constant or varying axial compression loads using a multi-axial substructure testing facility. The structural interaction of high strength steel tubes with mild steel plates is investigated in terms of member capacity, strength and stiffness deterioration and the development of plastic hinges. The deterioration parameters of hybrid specimens are calibrated and compared against those of conventional steel specimens. Effect of varying axial force and loading direction on the hysteretic deterioration model, failure modes and axial shortening is also studied. Plate and tube elements in hybrid members interact such that the high strength steel is kept within its ultimate strain range to prevent sudden fracture due to its low ultimate to yield strain ratio while the ductile performance of plate governs the global failure mechanism. High strength material also significantly reduces the axial shortening in columns which prevents undesirable frame deformations.

In this paper, estimation of the compressive strength of the concrete incorporating blast furnace slag subjected to high temperature was discussed. Ordinary Portland cement and blast furnace slag cement (BSC;30% of blast furnace slag) were used, respectively. Water to binder ratio ranging from 30% to 60% and curing temperature ranging from $20^{\circ}C{\sim}65^{\circ}C$ were also chosen for the experimental parameters, respectively. At the high temperature, BSC had higher strength development at early age than OPC concrete and it kept its high strength development at later age due to accelerated latent hydration reaction subjected to high temperature. For the strength estimation, the Logistic model based on maturity equation and the Carino model based on equivalent age were applied to verify the availability of estimation model. It was found that fair agreements between calculated values and measured values were obtained evaluating compressive strength with logistic curve. The application of logistic model at high temperature had remarkable deviations in the same maturity. Whereas, the application of Carino model showed good agreements between calculated values and measured ones regardless of type of cement and W/B. However, some correction factors should be considered to enhance the accuracy of strength estimation of concrete.

Compared to normal-strength concrete, high-strength concrete has the lower lateral expansion capacity caused by the higher elastic modulus and the lower internal crack characteristic. Therefore, the effect of the lateral confining action of hoops appears slowly. Nevertheless, it has been reported that the strength and deformation capacity of high-strength concrete is improved by well-distributed hoops. Due to that argument, this investigation has been compared and analyzed by the experimental works on the deformation capacity and the confinement mechanism of high-strength concrete shear wall of the high-rise building reinforced by rectangular steel tubes and rectangular hoops at both edges. It is suggested that, using high-strength concrete($500kgf/cm^2$, $700kgf/cm^2$), hoops should be replaced with rectangular steel tubes in order to prevent closely spaced hoops at the edge of the shear wall.

This study was conducted in order to validate the nose shape factors of projectile in existing impact formulas for high-strength concrete in the event of collision with high-speed projectiles. In order to conduct the high-speed impact experiment, specified concrete strengths of 35, 100, and 120 MPa were prepared and tested in collision with both conical and hemispherical projectiles. The results showed that the measured penetration depth did not decrease linearly as concrete strength increased. Comparing the ratio penetration depth to the kinetic energy of the conical and hemispherical projectiles, the difference in the ratios for high strength concrete was observed to decline as concrete strength increased. However, in the modified NDRC and the Hughes formulas, the difference in the predicted penetration depth of the conical and hemispherical projectiles was constant despite increasing concrete strength. The modified NDRC and Hughes formulas should be improved upon so as to be applied to high strength concrete.

To improve the qualities of high strength mortar and concrete with high range water reducing admixture, silica fume and gypsum is applied. The flow loss of mortar is reduced and the compressive strength of mortar and concrete is improved by silica fume. And the silica fume is effective for decreasing the temperature of high strength concrete. In addition to, the strength of high strength concrete is more improved by the gypsum.

High strength concrete was placed at the mass concrete slabs, walls, pillars of RC building from August till August. And the construction is going on now. This paper presents mix design, production, quality control and experience with field application of high strength ready-mixed concrete under hot weathered conditions. It is shown to be possible to produce high strength concrete that has 45MPa compressive strength using superplasticizer and cement replaced with 20% fly-ash with appropriate control.

High flowing concrete has been made using a combination of different cementitious material. The use of supplementary cementitious material like ground granulated slag is not only interesting from an economical point of view but also from a mechanical and rheological point of view. In the case of high strength concrete, relation between the maturity and compressive strength development of high strength concrete is aproximated by appling gompertz curve and suggested new estimating method. It is the aim of this study to analysis the effect of different types of mineral fine power on the setting and compressive strength development of high flowing concrete.

Local buckling can be ignored for hot-rolled ordinary strength steel equal angle compression members, because the width-to-thickness ratios of the leg don't exceed the limit value. With the development of steel structures, Q420 high strength steel angles with the nominal yield strength of 420 MPa have begun to be widely used in China. Because of the high strength, the limit value of the width-to-thickness ratio becomes smaller than that of ordinary steel strength, which causes that the width-to-thickness ratios of some hot-rolled steel angle sections exceed the limit value. Consequently, local buckling must be considered for 420 MPa steel equal angles under axial compression. The existing research on the local buckling of high strength steel members under axial compression is briefly summarized, and it shows that there is lack of study on the local buckling of high strength steel equal angles under axial compression. Aiming at the local buckling of high strength steel angles, this paper conducts an axial compression experiment of 420MPa high strength steel equal angles, including 15 stub columns. The test results are compared with the corresponding design methods in ANSI/AISC 360-05 and Eurocode 3. Then a finite element model is developed to analyze the local buckling behavior of high strength steel equal angles under axial compression, and validated by the test results. Following the validation, a finite element parametric study is conducted to study the influences of a range of parameters, and the analysis results are compared with the design strengths by ANSI/AISC 360-05 and Eurocode 3.

In this study, we conducted a study to evaluate the more accurate mechanical properties of concrete damaged by fire. In relation to this, in this study, the results of compressive strength and biaxial flexural strength were compared for concrete that received high temperature heat. As a result, both the compressive strength and the biaxial bending strength decreased as the heating temperature increased. As a result of examining the correlation between the compressive strength and the biaxial flexural strength, the biaxial flexural strength was smaller than the compressive strength.
