This paper describes the effect of fly ash replacement on the setting time of antiwashout underwater concrete, where cement was replaced by 0% to 50%. Experimental work was performed on the condition of sea water and in air to find out the characteristics of setting time between the concretes that were cast in air and cast in 15$^{\circ}C$ of sea water. The experimental results show that the setting time of underwater concrete with 50% replacement was delayed about 10 hours than normal concrete. And it can be concluded that, at the case of underseawater concrete addicted with fly ash, the delayed final setting times are shown as the function Tf=0.069F+7.69, where Tf is the delayed final setting time and F is quantity of fly ash, respectively. These results confirm that the setting time underseawater concrete could be prolonged.

The objective of this study was to investigate the bond strength properties of antiwashout underwater concrete. The fine aggregate(river sand, blended sand (river sand : sea sand = 1 : 1), condition of cast and cure(sea water, fresh water), and compressive strength of proportion(210kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$ ~ 330kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$) were chosen as the experimental parameters. The experimental results show that the underwater segregation resistance was increased, but flowability (slump flow) and air contents were decreased as the compressive strength of proportion increased. Bond strength of antiwashout underwater concrete was similar to plain concrete. From this study, rational analytic formula for the modulus of rupture and bond stress are to be from compressive strength of concrete.

Recently, the construction of underwater structures has been gradually increased, but underwater concrete got some problems of quality deterioration and water contamination around cast-in-situ of construction. In addition, massive underwater structures such as LNG tank, underwater concrete structures of large and continuous high- strength subterranean wall under water are being demanded lower heat of hydration. In this paper, the mechanical properties of high-strength antiwashout underwater concrete (HAWC) containing with two kinds of mineral admixtures respectively were investigated. On the basis of these results, the pH value and suspended solids of HAWC manufactured in the mock-up test were 10.0$\Box$11.0 and 51 mg/${\iota}$ at 30 minutes later, respectively, initial and final setting time were about 30,37 hours, and the slump flow was 530$\pm$20Tm. In the placement at a speed of $27 m^3/hr$, there was no large difference in flowing velocity with or without reinforcing bar, and flowing slope was maintained at horizontal level. Compressive strength and elastic modulus of the cored specimen somewhat decreased as flowing distance was far; however, those of central area showed the highest value.

In case of constructing the concrete structures under seawater environment, the concrete suffers from deterioration due to penetration of various ions such as chloride, sulfate and magnesium in seawater. Tn the present study, Immersion tests with artificial seawater were carried out to investigate the resistance to seawater attack of antiwashout underwater concrete. From the results of compressive strength, it was found that blended cement concrete due to mineral admixtures such as fly ash(FA) and ground granulated blast-furnace slag(SGC), were superior to ordinary portland cement concrete with respect to the resistance to seawater attack. Moreover, XRD analysis indicated that the formed reactants of ordinary portland cement paste by sulfate and magnesium ions led to the deterioration of concrete. As expected, however, the blended cements with FA or SGC have a good resistance to seawater attack. This paper would discuss the mechanism of seawater deterioration and benefical effects of antiwashout underwater concretes with mineral admixtures.

The overall quality of underwater concrete will ultimately be affected by factors such as performance of antiwashout admixture and mix proportions of concrete. Of these, performance of antiwashout admixture may significantly influence quality of underwater concrete. Thus, objectives of this experimental research are to evaluate the performance such as slump flow, setting time, compressive strength, and water segregation of the concrete containing antiwashout admixture. It was observed from the test results that concrete containing antiwashout admixture was found to improve quality of concrete such as fluidity, compressive strength, and antiwashout compared to plain concrete.

Today the application of antiwashout underwater concrete to the construction sites is increasing steadily, while its reliability is in issue. Particularly, antiwashout underwater concrete is known to have very weak durability on frost attack, and hence Japan society of civil engineers(JSCE) regulated that not to use of antiwashout underwater concrete where the freezing and thawing is suspected. This study aims the improvement of the freezing and thawing resistance for antiwashout underwater concrete. From the results of fundamental test, FA20 and SG50 showed good performance in fluidity and long term compressive strength than control concrete. Meanwhile, MK10 marked the highest compressive strength through the whole curing age but a defect on fluidity was discovered. The results from the repeated freezing and thawing test show that the large volumes of air entrapped by cellulose based antiwashout underwater admixture gave bad effects to frost durability and hence not much benefits were confirmed from the use of mineral admixtures. However there were some increasing effects on frost durability of MK10 and SG50 by securing $6{\pm}0.5\%$ of entraining air. In the meantime, there was a increasing tendency of frost durability by increasing blame's fineness of ground granulated blast furnace slag.

Recently the use of the underwater concrete with the antiwashout admixture is increased considerably. When we intend to apply it to the field, we must consider the water temperature effect. In this study, we investigate the properties of setting time, early strength, hydration temperature history and core strength with the antiwashout underwater concrete in the water temperature 8$^{\circ}C$, 14$^{\circ}C$ and 22$^{\circ}C$ respectively. As a result of experiment, as the water temperature is decreasing, setting time is delayed twice of three times and early strength is lower from 10% to 50%. Therefore to compensate the decrease of the early strength, we used the accelerator and investigated the concrete properties.

In this study we changed W/C into 45, 50, 55, 60%, mixed sea sand which is often used as a replacing aggregate according to the lack of recourse with river sand in the ratio of 5:5 and producted antiwashout underwater concrete. We measured slump flow, air value, pH and suspension in the fresh concrete. After testing each W/C through unit weight and compressive strength of specimen which is produced and cured in the air and salt water it was founded that if sea sand was properly used after salt manufacturing, there will be no bad influence to antiwashout underwater concrete. The characteristic of them showed excellent, when W/C was 50%.

In this study, three kinds of fine aggregate (river sand, sea sand, crushed sand) were used and four different s/a (38%, 40%, 42%, 45%) were applied separately to this experimental for get the conclusion written below. Regardless of kinds of fine aggregate and casting-curing condition, maximum unit weight is seen at 40% of s/a and also to be seen in case of crushed sand. It's for that specific gravity of crushed sand is bigger comparatively than river sand and sea snad's one. Compressive strength is measured river sand, crushed sand, sea sand by order of size ; Regardless of variation of s/3, casting-curing condition and age. Compressive strength recorded maximum when s/a is 42% whatever sort of fine aggregate are. As the result, according to references, the optimum s/a of underwater antiwashout concrete is 40% but in this study, from compressive strength of view, the optimum s/a of underwater antiwashout concrete is 42%.

The objective of in this study makes investigation into the characteristics of antiwashout underwater concrete as to mix proportion, casting and curing water through experimental researches. in this study, sea sand is blended with river sand, crushed sand is blended with river sand and sea sand as to investigate the quality change and characteristics of antiwashout underwater concrete with variation of blend ratio of sea sand and crushed sand(0, 20, 40, 60, 80, 100%). Higher compressive strength is measured following the order of river sand, sea sand, crushed sand regardless of age and casting condition. Except for case of using river sand, blended ratio of 40% is appeared on most compressive strength.
