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. Therefore, in this research, the proper use of VMA was suggested to prevent segregation.

In this study, the quality contral of high strength reacy-mixed concrete with design compressive strength of 420 kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$ placed at a tail building for a long period is statistically investigated. The amount of cast-in-place high strength concrete is by about $15000\textrm{m}^3$. The required average compressive striength is 500 kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$ according to KS F 4009 with assumed coefficient of variation of 11%. Since there are many concrete members in this construction, fly ash is used to reduce the heat of hydration of concrete. As the results of this study, the average actual 28-day compressive strength is 498 kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$ and the coefficient of variation is 6.7%. The placing speed is comparable to normal strength concrete, however, the pump pressure is higher than that of normal strength concrete.

This study investigated the use of latex-modified sand concrete reinforced with sisal fibers (LMSC) as a repair material. Notably, no prior research has explored the application of LMSC for this purpose. This paper examines the interface bond strength and the type of failure between LMSC as a repair material and the normal concrete (NC) substrate utilising four different surfaces: without surface preparation as a reference (SR), hand hammer (HA), sandblasted (SB), and grooved (GR). The bond strength was measured by bi-surface shear, splitting tensile, and pull-off strength tests at 7, 28, and 90 days. Scanning electron microscopy analysis was also performed to study the microstructure of the interface between the normal concrete substrate and the latex-modified sand concrete reinforced with sisal fibers. The results of this study indicate that LMSC has bonding strength with NC, especially for HR and SB surfaces with high roughness. Therefore, substrate NC surface roughness is essential in increasing the bonding strength and adhesion. Eventually, The LMSC has the potential to repair and rehabilitate concrete structures.

This study aims to make high performance concrete for normal strength using crushed stone fines to control high strength of the high performance concrete. According to the experimental results, when crushed stone fines are increased every 10%, 15% of compressive strength is decreased, and 5% of drying shrinkage is increased, compared to normal high performance concrete. Also, high performance concrete has been evaluated to have good durability factor more than 100% in the 480cycle of freezing and thawing test, without regard to using AE and crushed stone fines.

Objectives of this study is to investigate experimentally the behaviors of high strength concrete columns made with Belite cement by comparing with those of normal concrete columns. For the Belite high strength concrete columns and normal concrete columns having different core sizes, lateral reinforcement ratios and spacings, the experiment are performed and the behaviors of the columns like the confining effect are analyzed and discussed.

This study is performed to evaluate the physical and meanical properties of oyster shell concrete. The result shows that the unit weights of concrete with oyster shell are less by 15 ~2% than that of the normla cement concrete. The highest strengths are achieved by 2.5% oyster shell concrete , with increased compressive strength by 4% , tensile strength by 6% and bending strength by 7% than that of the normal cement concrete, respectively. The static modulusof elasticity is in the range of 290$\times$10$^3$~314 $\times$10$^3$kgf/㎤ for 2.5~7.0% oyster shell concrete,which has showed about the same compared to that of the normal cement concrete. The Poisson's number of oyster shell concrete is less than that of the normal cement concrete. Accordingly, oyster shell concrete will improve the properties of concrete.

The effectiveness of shear strengthening with glass fiber sheets on normal or low strength RC beams have been investigated experimentally. A design compressive strength of concrete of 13.5MPa has been planned considering the degradation state of the existing structure to be strengthened in this study. Also, concrete surface reinforcing agent was applied to increase bond capacity between concrete and GFRP sheets in case of low strength RC beams. Comparing the test results of low and normal strength beams strengthened with GFRP sheets indicated that total shear capacity of beams was decreased with concrete strength decreased, but the shear strengthening capacity of GFRP sheets are hardly affected by concrete strength. In addition, shear strengthening effects of RC beams strengthened with GFRP sheets can be estimated by $\rho_w{\cdot}f_w$ based on the maximum effective strain of FRP sheet proposed by ACI 440.2R recommendation.

Reinforced Concrete structures have been commonly regarded as fire-resisting constructions. In the case of high-strength concrete, however, the behavior of a concrete member under fire and after fire has characteristics in different way with normal strength concrete members because of spalling. The resonable evaluation about the residual strength and stiffness of members as well as material properties has to be conducted before reusing the fire-damaged structures or retrofitting or strengthening them. Therefore, the guideline is needed for evaluation the residual strength and stiffness. In this study, the fire test is conducted with parameters like concrete strength, fire time and cover thickness, etc. The loads-deflection curves are used for comparison and analysis with the parameters.

This is to show some basic data for introducing both circulated aggregate and recycled powder producing waste concrete. Standard-mixing design for 24MPa has been basically used and added and replaced normal aggregate with recycled powder made of waste concrete. In addition, polycarboxylate high-range water reducing agent has been used because recycled powder is missing adhesive strength and it is not compare with cement's adhesive strength. Compressive strength with powder mixture of 2%, 4%, 6%, 8%, and 10% has been decreased down to 80% of normal concrete material strength without recycled powder mixture. This result has same decreasing proportion to tensile strength of the material. Resistant capacity change of beam varying with recycled powder mixture has been decreased down to 60% of normal concrete bean capacity, while there are 80% decrease of material strength. But strength and capacity change has same consistent decrease ratio. It is found that recycled powder with approximately 15% unit concrete volume can be replaced with cement in reasonable admixture mixing condition.
