The actual quality of the concrete in the structure for Irrigation may differ from that represented by the cylinders because the age, consolidation, or curing of the in-place material may not be well represented by the standard test specimens. The objective of this paper is to offer a base data of specification is the best fit the ready-mixed concrete strength to the specified, and to address this deficiency, so that the strength information of the concrete in the structure for Irrigation can be rationally accounted for in the assessment of the quality condition of this. The strength of concrete in the hydraulic structures is checked using strength of core obtained from that, and 28-day-old cylinder strength is analyzed using cylinder data of the ready-mixed concrete.

Portland cement concrete exposed to high temperatures during mixing, transporting, casting, finishing, and curing can develop undesirable characteristics. Applicable requirements for such the hot weather concrete differ from country to country and government agencies. The current study is an attempt at evaluating the hardened properties of the concrete exposed to hot weather in fresh state. First of all, this study reviews the current state of understanding and practice for hot weather concrete placement in US and then roadway sites with suspected hot weather concrete problems were investigated. Core samples were obtained from the field locations and were analyzed by standard resonance frequency analysis and the boil test. Based on the results, there does not appear to be systematic evidence of frequent cracking problems related to high temperature placement. Thus, the suspicious deteriorations which are referable to hot weather concreting would be due to other factors.

This paper presents a comprehensive review of recent advances in ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC). Fundamental characteristics of UHPC are elaborated with focus on its material constituents, mixing, and formulation procedures. Use of state-of-the-art materials such as carbon nanotubes or nano-silica is discussed as well, whose inclusion may enhance the performance of UHPC. The review evaluates supplementary treatment methods (e.g., pressuring curing) and identifies applicable standard test methods for determining the properties and behavior of UHPC. Site implementation is provided to link laboratory research with full-scale application. Research needs are suggested to further develop UHPC technologies from technical and socio-economical perspectives.

The purpose of the research is suggesting the temperature compensation strength for Unicode of constructure standard from Ministry of land, infrastructure and transport. As a result, for the concrete mixture with 100 % OPC, 6, and 3 MPa of compensating strength values were necessary when the temperature were from 4 to 9℃, and from 9 to 17℃, respectively. Additionally, when the temperature was higher than 17℃, compensating strength value was not necessary. In the case of 20 % of blast furnace slag replaced concrete mixture, 9, 6, and 3 MPa of compensating strength values were necessary when the temperature were from 4 to 6℃, from 6 to 12℃, and higher than 17℃, respectively.

The strength of cement mortar is one of the most important factors in design and construction. Strength can vary widely depending on factors such as water cement ratio, aggregate and materials and curing. In the study, it was found that the standardized method of making the cement mrtar was different from the standard method of preparing the cement mortar by the different process of the cement mortar. I wanted to know the difference. Experiments were carried out to investigate the differences in strength, physical properies and performance depending on the points when the sample were made long in vertical form.

KB103 was developed from a cross between Burley 21 and Va 528 in 1983. It was developed by haploid method derived from anther culture method. It has moderate resistance to black shank(Phytophhorn nicotianae Breda de Haan Var. nictiana Waterhouse). KB103 produced good yields and quality in 1988-1990. It flowered about four or five days later than standard variety Burley 21, and plant height, leaf width, leaves per plants were similar to those of Burley 21. In maturing and curing properties as well as in chemical constituents of cured leaves, KB 103 was very similar to that of Burley 21. Regional farm test with the breeding line, KB 8304- ADH 65 named as KB 103 in 1986, was performed for 4 crop years from 1987 at 29 locations. It was released on burley tobacco area in 1992.

In marine and coastal environments, penetration of chloride ions is one of the main mechanisms causing concrete reinforcement corrosion. Currently, most of experimental investigations about submerged penetration of chloride ions are started after the four weeks standard curing of concrete. The further hydration of cement and reduction of chloride diffusivity during submerged penetration period are ignored. To overcome this weak point, this paper presents a numerical procedure to analyze simultaneously cement hydration reaction and chloride ion penetration process. First, using a cement hydration model, degree of hydration and phase volume fractions of hardening concrete are determined. Second, the dependences of chloride diffusivity and chloride binding capacity on age of concrete are clarified. Third, chloride profiles in hardening concrete are calculated. The proposed numerical procedure is verified by using chloride penetration test results of concrete with different mixing proportions.

Cracks on the surface of latex-modified concrete using ready mix concrete (R-LMC) are attributable to its sensitivity to air temperature, relative humidity and wind velocity. Insufficient curing under the windy condition causes plastic shrinkage cracks. The cracked areas should be replaced to prevent development of larger cracks. This paper investigated how the vibration resulted from crushing concrete for replacement of the partial cracked area affects bond strength of R-LMC at early age. To analyze bond strength of R-LMC, the commercial Finite Element (FE) program, ABAQUS Standard/Implicit version 6.12 was used, and bond strength was tested by ASTM C1583-04. The real vibration was applied to this FE model using an acceleration measurement equipment.

There are a lot of reasons to use In-place tests. Construction schedules often require that operations such as form removal, post-tensioning, termination of curing, and removal of reshores be carried out as early as possible. To enable these operations to proceed safely as soon as possible requires the use of reliable in-place tests to estimate the in-place strength. In-place test results are not reliable for engineering judgment. These results should be interpreted and correlated to standard compressive strength, based on the test method. In this paper some of these test procedures and their limitations are discussed. In this study we will go on for Rebound number, Pullout, Ultrasonic pulse velocity, and Cast-in-place cylinder methods which are most useful methods in the Asia.

The compressive strength of concrete is greatly affected by the temperature inside the concrete at the initial age immediately after pouring. In the KCI Concrete Standard Specification, only the temperature correction strength (Tn) according to the curing temperature is applied in the mixing strength calculation formula, and mSn is not considered. The formula based on the Chrino model of the blast furnace slag concrete was calculated, and the strength of the structural concrete and the strength of the water cured specimen in the same mixture were compared with the predicted strength. As a result, the error between the predicted strength and the measured strength was greater in the structural concrete than in the concrete specimen.
