The effects of fly ash and superplasticizer (SP) on workability of concrete are quite difficult to predict because they are dependent on other concrete ingredients. Because of high complexity of the relations between workability and concrete compositions, conventional regression analysis could be not sufficient to build an accurate model. In this study, a workability model has been built using artificial neural networks (ANN). In this model, the workability is a function of the content of all concrete ingredients, including cement, fly ash, blast furnace slag, water, superplasticizer, coarse aggregate, and fine aggregate. The effects of water/binder ratio (w/b), fly ash-binder ratio (fa/b), superplasticizer-binder ratio (SP/b), and water content on slump were explored by the trained ANN. This study led to the following conclusions: (1) ANN can build a more accurate workability model than polynomial regression. (2) Although the water content and SP/b were kept constant, a change in w/b and fa/b had a distinct effect on the workability properties. (3) An increasing content of fly ash decreased the workability, while raised the slump upper limit that can be obtained.

After passing through a magnetic field, the physical quality of water improves, and magnetic water (MW) is produced. There are many investigations on the effects of magnetic field on water that shows MW properties like saturation and memory effect. This study investigates the fresh and hardened properties of concrete mixed with MW, which contains silica fume (SF) and superplasticizer (SP). The test variables included the magnetic field intensity for producing MW (three kinds of water), SF content replaced cement (0 and 10 percent), water-to-cementitious materials ratio (W/CM=0.25, 0.35 and 0.45) and curing time (7, 28 and 90 days). The results of this study show that MW had a positive impact on the workability and compressive strength of concrete. By rising the intensity of the magnetic field which was used for producing MW, its positive influence on both workability and compressive strength improved. MW had greater positive impacts on samples containing SP that did not have SF. Moreover, the best compressive strength improvements of concrete achieved as W/CM ratio decreased.

The use of high-strength grout applied for facility foundations and bridges has recently been expanding in offshore wind farm. Wind farm in offshore require bearing capacity for horizontal loads such as wind, waves, and earthquakes. In order to improve the bearing force of the base part, sufficient fluidity and a certain strength should be ensured so that the high-strength grout is densely charged in the narrow space of the connection part. Therefore, in this study, changes in fluidity and strength according to the ratio of PC-based superplasticizer mixed in high-strength grout were measured. As a result, as the ratio of the superplasticizer increased, fluidity increased and strength decreased. However, the strength did not decrease when the ratio of superplasticizer was above a 0.005. Therefore, it was confirmed that the fluidity change was remarkable when a 0.005 ratio of PC-based superplasticizer were added.

최근에는 생활수준 향상으로 인간친화적인 공간창조 등 의장적인 측면에서 다양한 요구가 나타나고 있다. 본 연구에서는 무주태권도원의 2개의 블랙콘크리트 교량에 기존연구에서 얻어진 카본아미노실리카블랙 고성능 감수제(CASB-SP)를 적용하기 위한 Mock up test와 현장적용사항에 대하여 보고하고자 하였다. Mock up test 결과 일반적인 품질 항목은 양호하게 나타났고, 백화방지와 관련한 발수제 도포는 에폭시계가 가장 양호한 것으로 나타나 현장적용에 활용하였다. 현장적용 결과 역시 기초적 특성은 모두 양호 하였고, 검정색 색상구현도 양호하였는데, 기존의 카본블랙 분말 색소를 이용하는 경우보다 시공성, 품질 모두 양호하면서 30 % 정도의 저렴한 경제성도 확인할 수 있었다.

본 연구의 목적은 저점도형 고성능 감수제가 혼화재료를 포함하는 시멘트 계열 재료의 유동성 및 레올로지 특성에 미치는 영향을 분석하여 기초적인 정보를 제공하는 것이다. 이에 플라이애시, 고로슬래그, 실리카흄을 치환한 시멘트 페이스트와 모르타르에 대하여 일반적인 고성능 감수제와 저점도형 고성능 감수제를 사용하여 실험을 실시하였다. 실험 결과 저점도형 고성능 감수제는 소성점도에 있어서 일반형 고성능 감수제보다 크게 저감시키는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 본 연구가 향후 저점도형 고성능 감수제를 사용하는 데에 기초적인 데이터를 제공할 것으로 기대한다.

본 연구에서는 CASB-SP가 블랙 콘크리트의 기초적 물성 및 발색도에 미치는 영향을 실험적으로 고찰하고자 하였다. 실험변수로서 CASB-SP와 기존 Carbon black의 두 착색제 종류에 따라 치환율을 변화시키고 이후 백화방지를 위해 4수준의 발색제를 변수로 설정하였다. 연구결과에 따르면, 전반적으로 CASB-SP 혼입율이 증가할수록 슬럼프 및 공기량이 증가하는 경향으로 나타났고, 응결시간은 0.75% 이상 사용시 기존 Plain에 비해서 현저히 지연되는 것으로 나타났으며 블리딩은 CASB-SP 혼입율이 증가 할수록 감소되었다. 압축강도는 CASB-SP 혼입율이 증가할수록 압축강도가 증가하였고, 발색도는 CASB-SP 혼입율이 증가할수록 검정색 발현이 선명해지는 것으로 나타났고, 발색제의 사용에 따라 백화가 방지되어 안정적인 색상유지가 가능해졌다. 이상을 종합하면, 블랙 콘크리트에 CASB-SP를 사용할 경우 Carbon Black에 비해 콘크리트의 품질향상 차원에서 유리한 것으로 나타났고, CASB-SP 혼입율은 콘크리트의 품질을 고려하여 0.5% 혼입하는 것이 가장 양호한 것으로 분석된다.

In this study, basic physical properties and color development of the black concrete depending on CASB-SP dosages are investigated. According to results, It showed that the slump and air contents of the concrete containing CASB-SP meet all requirements of concrete except when CASB-SP 5.0 % is used. It also showed that the more the CASB-SP is used, the higher the compressive strength becomes. On the other hand, It is found that if the CASB-SP 5.0 % is used, the compressive strength was reduced as the more CASB-SP 5 % is used. In terms of color, it was found out that the more CASB-SP is used, the darker the black becomes.

This paper is to investigate the Fluidity of Antiwashout Underwater Concrete containing Fly Ash. The results of study are concluded as follows: the increase in Slump Flow value did not happen in the plain concrete which was replaced cement by Fly Ash; however, the maximum value could reach in the replacement of 30% of Fly Ash by weight of cement in the Fly Ash replaced concrete. On the condition of Fly Ash-Antiwashout Underwater Concrete in expecting 50 cm of the Slump Flow, it was necessary that the usage amount of Superplasticizer be around 1% of unit Binder, and 1.5% in 60 cm of the Slump Flow, respoectively.

One of the main disadvantages of Ultra High Performance Concrete exists in the large suggested value of UHPC ingredients. The purpose of this study was to find the models mechanical properties which included a 7, 14 and 28-day compressive strength test, a 28-day splitting tensile and modulus of rupture test for Ultra High Performance Concrete, as well as, a study on the interaction and correlation of five variables that includes silica fume amount (SF), cement 42.5 amount, steel fiber amount, superplasticizer amount (SP), and w/c mechanical properties of UHPC. The response surface methodology was analyzed between the variables and responses. The relationships and mathematical models in terms of coded variables were established by ANOVA. The validity of models were checked by experimental values. The offered models are valid for mixes with the fraction proportion of fine aggregate as; 0.70-1.30 cement amount, 0.15-0.30 silica fume, 0.04-0.08 superplasticizer, 0.10-0.20 steel fiber, and 0.18-0.32 water binder ratio.

This paper aims to model the effects of five different variables which includes: cement content (C), the steel fiber amount (F), the silica fume amount (SF), the superplasticizer (SP), the silica fume amount (SF), and the water to cementitious ratio (w/c) on 28 days flexural toughness of Ultra High Performance Concrete (UHPC) as well as, a study on the variable interactions and correlations by using analyze of variance (ANOVA) and response surface methodology (RSM). The variables were compared by fine aggregate mass. The model will be valid for the mixes with 0.18 to 0.32 w/c ratio, 4 to 8 percent steel fiber, 7 to 13 percent cement, 15 to 30 percent silica fume, and 4 to 8 percent superplasticizer by fine aggregate mass.
