While there are many researches in high-strength concrete recently, average strength required is the level of 400kg/$\textrm{cm}^2$ 28days compressive strength yet. For the effective using of high strength concrete, high strength concrete of 600 to 800kg/$\textrm{cm}^2$ 28days compressive strength must be accepted, But in this high strength concrete, due to much cement content, there are the problems of high hydration heat, high viscosity and economical efficiency. To solve these problems, it is suggested the method that replacement some of cement content as flyash up-to-dately. Therefore, the aim of this study is to develop high strength concrete of 800kg/$\textrm{cm}^2$ 28days compressive strength containing fly ash. This paper is the part I that analyze the testing results of fresh concrete in various aspects.

A cyto-indentation technique was used to obtain the biomechanical compressive compliance property of an chondrocyte cell attached to glass surface, which was tried to generate joint cartilage by tissue engineering. Piezo-transducer system and dual photo-diode system were used to conduct mechanical indentation through displacement-controlled testing and the measurement of corresponding cell reaction force. The Poisson's ratio of 0.37 was quoted from other report. The compressive compliance of chondrocyte, that was determined by elastic contact theory, was 1.38${\pm}$0.057 kPa. This value is 30% higher than that of MG63 osteoblast-like cell. The cyto-indentation technique employed in this study is so precise that it can quantify the biomechanical property of single cell.

An experimental program has been carried out to investigate the effect of edge-slope on compressive strength of concrete specimens. In this study, effect of such slope was investigated by testing 100 standard cylinder specimens and 40 standard cubes. When molds are put on a slanted place, wet concrete starts to flow through the open end of mold. It keeps flowing until it reaches to a parallel surface with the place over which it was placed. That creates a sloped surface over the loading area. Experimental results revealed significant relationships between failure loads and slope of loading surface for cylinders. Angled cracks occurred in sloped cylinder specimens. Tension cracks occurred in cube specimens. Fracture mechanisms were also evaluated by using finite element analyses approach. Experiments yielded an exponential curve with bandwidth for cylinders. Average value of curve is $y={\frac{\pi}{2}}e^{-cf}$ between slope and compressive strength. Inclination is much effective parameter for cylinders than cubes.

To save efforts for capping in the compressive strength tests of concrete, unbonded capping system has been standardized by ASTM C 1231 and AS 1012.9, respectively. These standards, however, do not sufficiently give a full detail of accessories such as steel retaining cap and rubber pad, especially hardness of rubber. Hence, without testing for sizes of steel retaining cap and rubber pad, tests for the quality control of rubber pads were conducted in detail according to Japanese studies. Based on tests, the range of hardness for rubber pad by the compressive strength(200~ 400kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$) of concrete has been proposed and the guideline of reuses of a rubber pad is described.

Stress-strain responses of weak-to-strong carbonate rocks used for tunnel construction were studied. The analysis of applicability of exponential stress-strain models based on Haldane's distribution function is presented. It is revealed that these exponential equations presented in transformed forms allow us to predict stress-strain relationships over the whole pre-failure strain range without mechanical testing of rock samples under compression using a press machine and to avoid measurements of axial failure strains for which relatively large values of compressive stress are required. In this study, only one point measurement (small strain at small stress) using indentation test and uniaxial compressive strength determined by a standard Schmidt hammer are considered as input parameters to predict stress-strain response from zero strain/zero stress up to failure. Observations show good predictive capabilities of transformed stress-stress models for weak-to-strong (${\sigma}_c$ <100 MPa) heterogeneous carbonate rocks exhibiting small (< 0.5 %), intermediate (< 1 %) and large (> 1 %) axial strains.

This article investigates the fabrication of polycaprolactone (PCL) composites filled with different volume fractions (10-30%) of tricalcium phosphate (TCP) by selective laser sintering (SLS) for tissue engineering scaffolds. Optimal processing parameters for each composition were developed by design of experiments (DOE). Specimens for compressive testing for each composition were fabricated and tested. The results showed that the compressive modulus increases as a function of TCP volume fraction. The experimentally measured compressive moduli were compared with moduli predicted by Halpin's theoretical model and were found to be in excellent agreement. This result proved that experimentally determined processing parameters for each composition were well optimized.

Recent advance in material technology has accelerated the development of high strength concrete using lightweight artificial aggregates. The lightweight concrete has many advantages that the reduction of dead lads and the increase in load capacity can ofter. In this study, lightweight polymer concrete using unsaturated polyester resin and lightweight aggregate were prepared and tested for testing the physical and the mechanical properties. The compressive strengths of lightweight polymer concretes with specific gravities from 1.32 to 1.78 were compressive strength of 250 to 470 $kgf/cm^2$ and flexural strengths were measured to be in the range of a third to a quarter of compressive strength

This is an foundational study to adequacy the non-destruction testing for the estimation of compressive strength of high strength concrete The results are as follows, In high strength concrete, H type is NR type rebound number rather than higher. The relation between rebound number and compressive strength of high strength concrete have lower coefficient. when compressive strength estimation of high strength concrete, it consider that rebound hardness test is not applied and should be consider to combined method or addition method.

The results of experimental testing of the effect of confined concrete on compressive strength and ductility of concrete beam subjected to pure bending are presented. The effect of different stirrups forms and spacing, as well as different concrete strengths, on beam carrying capacity and ductility were analyzed. Ultimate strength capacity and deflection of concrete beam increase with the decrease in stirrups spacing. Stirrup form has a great effect on the ultimate carrying capacity and ductility of concrete beam. Stirrups which confined the region of concrete in the compression more contribute to greater compression strength of concrete than common stirrups at the perimeter of the entire cross-section of the beam.

Circular concrete filled steel tube (CFST) columns have an advantage over all other sections when they are used in compression members. This paper proposes a new approach for deriving a new empirical equation to predict the axial compressive capacity of circular CFST columns using the Artificial Neural Network (ANN). The developed ANN model uses 5 input parameters that include the diameter of circular steel tube, the length of the column, the thickness of steel tube, the steel yield strength and the compressive strength of concrete. The only output parameter is the axial compressive capacity. Training and testing the developed ANN model was carried out using 219 available sets of data collected from the experimental results in the literature. An empirical equation is then proposed as an important result of this study, which is practically used to predict the axial compressive capacity of a circular CFST column. To evaluate the performance of the developed ANN model and the proposed equation, the predicted results are compared with those of the empirical equations stated in the current design codes and other models. It is shown that the proposed equation can predict the axial compressive capacity of circular CFST columns more accurately than other methods. This is confirmed by the high accuracy of a large number of existing test results. Finally, the parametric study result is analyzed for the proposed ANN equation to consider the effect of the input parameters on axial compressive strength.
