It is possible in the case of the chemical admixtures for concrete currently being used in actual work sites to omit quality evaluation and replace it with the scores of the admixture manufactures; this can create a problem of decline in reliability in quality on the work site. Therefore this study sought to analyze the degree of influence changes in the solid content rate of lignin- and naphthalene-based water-reducing agents have on the fundamental characteristics of cement mortar. The results showed that in fresh mortar, the flow and amount of air decreases with decrease in the solid content ratio. In hardened mortar, the condensation strength had hardly any effect on the use of lignin-based water-reducing agent, but naphthalene-based water-reducing agent increased with the decrease in the solid content ratio.

This study attempts to propose an evaluation considering the property of concrete pore which affects the deterioration of neutralization and the rebar resistance of concrete. Understanding pore property of concrete in using extent, for practical using of concrete manufacturing condition. basic quality property and durability estimation etc, the results of the experiment are as follows. 1) The result of analysis pore property of every specimen with the method of area ratio, in limitation of $10^{-6}{\sim}10^{-5}m$, the pore distribution ratio was maximum. It was high value as W/C was increased and the unit cement content was decreased. 2) In case of using admixture. the volume of pores was some increased as variation of mixing content. In high W/C range, it was very increased compared with plain concrete. 3) Concerned with compressive strength and volume of pores in hardened concrete, it is possible compressive strength estimation using the property of concrete pores. 4) Direct measurement of concrete pore property is difficult. the valuation of the dynamic modulus of elasticity using ultrasonic wave velocity was available. 5) Quantitatively evaluation of concrete structure durability by past result of pore distribution estimation, and it can be estimative scale of property study on the concrete materials.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the manufacture of light weight concrete panel using the artificial light-weight aggregate as a part of the substitution of foamed styrene and polyurethane because of narrow allocable temperature Bone in use. The experimental parameter of this study is 40, 60 and 8$0^{\circ}C$ of curing temperature at 100% relative humidity and the type of admixture such as cement, 6mm glass fiber and St/BA emulsion. Testing item is compressive and flexural strength and strength of specimen cured at standard condition is compared to that of specimen cured at 40, 60 and 8$0^{\circ}C$ of curing temperature at 100% relative humidity. As a result or this, it was revealed that the maximum or strength is developed in 6$0^{\circ}C$ or cure temperature at 100% relative humidity in case of the most of the specimen. Specimens modified by St/BA emulsion show the highest development of strength dependent on the curing tmeperature. So, it seems to be effective that evaporation curing method shoud be considered to curing the specimen as the panel core.

In ultra-high-strength concrete, chemical shrinkage is larger than drying shrinkage due to using a large amount of cement and admixtures, and this is a factor deteriorating the quality of structures. Thus, we need a new technology for minimizing the shrinkage strain of ultra-high-strength concrete. So, this study have prepared super-high-strength concrete with specified mixing design strength of over 100MPa and have evaluated a method of reducing chemical shrinkage by using expander and shrinkage-reducing agent. According to the results of this study, with regard to the change in length by chemical shrinkage, an expansion effect was observed until the age of seven days. The expansion effect was higher than previous research that used only expander or shrinkage reducing agent. In addition, ultra-high-strength concrete showed a shrinkage rate that slowed down with time, and the effect of the addition of expander material on compressive strength was insignificant. That is shown that required more database to be accumulated through experimental research for the shrinkage strain of members.

In this study, the accelerated corrosion test by combined deteriorating action of salt damage and freeze-thaw was investigated. freeze-thaw cycle is one method for corrosion testing; corrosion initiation time was measured in four types of concrete samples, i.e., two samples mixed with fly ash (FA) and blast furnace slag (BS), and the other two samples having two water/cement ratio (W/C = 0.6, 0.35) without admixture (OPC60 and OPC35). The corrosion of rebar embedded in concrete occurred most quickly at the $30^{th}$ freeze-thaw cycle. Moreover, a corrosion monitoring method with a half-cell potential measurement and relative dynamic elastic modulus derived from resonant frequency measures was conducted simultaneously. The results indicated that the corrosion of rebar occurred when the relative dynamic elastic modulus was less than 60%. Therefore, dynamic elastic modulus can be used to detect corrosion of steel bar. The results of the accelerated corrosion test exhibited significant difference according to corrosion periods combined with each test condition. Consequently, the OPC60 showed the lowest corrosion resistance among the samples.

The purpose is to prove the newly established 'UNBONDED CAPPING' method for Concrete Strength Tests. Day by day, concrete buildings and structure became high-rising and magnificently vast scheduled, as contributed from the development of improved equipments that suitable to specific construction works and high qualitied Admixture, the qualities of the concrete was highly improved. It is very important that the concrete strength tests and evaluation should be carried out in the manner that as soon as the concrete is placed so that dismantling form works can be done in time and that may enabling reducing construction period directly related with the costs of the project. However, the conventional capping method of concrete specimen requires more manpower and consuming times, As for the Sulfur capping, there may be incurred accidential fire and generation of Gas, what is more there stands limitation in precise evaluation of strength test results because of variation in capping method results may vary in concrete strength test results. Not necessarily emphasize, the compression strength of the concrete is the most valuable basic data essential to control the qualities of the concrete and that should be carried out accurately. in this study evaluation of the compressive strength test results comparing stabilized concrete capping method for Cement Paste capping, Sulfur-paste capping ,High Gypsum capping and recently flowing the Grinding with the UNBONDED CAPPING' method to provide reliable and economical concrete strength testing.

The effects of additive and shrinkage reducing agent on the drying and autogenous shrinkage of high strength concrete are investigated in this study. As results, when the ratio of W/B(low water to binder ratio) increase, the compressive strength is decreased. Comparing with PC(portland cement) concrete, the strength is 2.8%, 3.2% and 3.8% lower respectively than that of PC when concrete mixing ratio is 0.2%, 0.3% and 0.4% in 28 days curing. Drying shrinkage strain of PC concrete showed $-650{\times}10^{-6}$ in 91 days curing. When SR(shrinkage reducing agent) of 0.2%, 0.3% and 0.4% is mixed, the drying shrinkage strains are 21%, 34% and 41% lower than those of PC in 91 days curing. Autogenous shrinkage strain of PC concrete appeared $-480{\times}10^{-6}$ in 56 days curing. When SR of 0.2%, 0.3% and 0.4% is mixed, the autogenous drying shrinkage strain are 12.5%, 19.8% and 33.3% lower than those of PC in 56 days curing. In cases of using the mineral and shrinkage agent or only using a shrinkage reducing agent also appeared same reducing effects for drying shrinkage and autogenous shrinkage.
