Quality control of ready-mixed concrete is most important in the production step because, the performance of hardened concrete is revealed due to ready-mixed concrete. Hardened concrete has several properties physically. Above all things compressive strength of concrete has a greate effect in the design of structures, analysis, and durability. Compressive strength is simple predicted by w/c up to date, but there are some limits because different compressive strengths can be revealed in the same w/c. Therefore this study contributes to the quality control of ready-mixed concrete through statistical analysis for the relation between mix factors in mix design and compressive strength, predictable equation for compressive strength.

Recently, for the problem solution of demand and supply imbalance of fine aggregate due to the shortage of natural fine aggregate and the environment regulation on sea sand extraction in the construction field, the studies for the application of recycled fine aggregate using waste concrete are being progressed versatilely. The purpose of this study is to investigate quality of recycled fine aggregate manufactured by drying manufacturing system which is the manufacture method of high duality recycled fine aggregate, and to analyze on thehardened and durability properties of recycled concrete using it. Therefore it is to present the fundamental data for application and utilization of recycled concrete. The results of this study are as follows; Quality of recycled fine aggregate by drying manufacturing system is improved, and compressive strength, carbonation depth and chloride ion penetration depth of recycled concrete using high quality recycled fine aggregate are similar to those of normal concrete using natural and crashed sand. But, resistance to $H_{2}SO_{4}$ show decreased somewhat.

This study is to analyze the effects of aluminum form surface coating material on surface quality of concrete. When observing the surface quality of concrete affected by the change of aluminum form surface coating material, in general, as the number of use of the coating material increased, the surface quality of concrete decreased and good surface quality was shown in plywood (hereinafter PW). For epoxy (hereinafter EP) resin, when applying form remover, good surface quality was shown. For the surface roughness of concrete by the application form oil of form remover and the number of use of the coating material, as the number of use increased, highest surface roughness value was shown which meant the leveling was bad, but the surface roughness value in EP and PW was the lowest. Just for EP, when applying form remover, surface roughness value was low. For the number of void for concrete by the application of form remover and the number of use of the coating material, In general, the number of void which was generated when applying form oil the remover decreased.

This paper is to investigate the effect of poor quality aggregate source used in Korea on the mixture proportion and strength development of the high strength concrete fixed at 450 kg/m3 of cement contents. For aggregate kinds, good quality crushed stone from KS certified manufacturer and low quality crushed stone from non certified construction field are used. For fine aggregates, river sand, land sand, sea sand and mixed sand are also used. It is found that the use of low quality aggregates resulted in an increase of water demand considerably due to poor gradation of aggregate and excessive fine particles. Test results indicate that the use of low quality aggregate also decreases the compressive strength compared with that of good quality aggregate.

Compressive strength is one of the most important engineering properties of concrete, and testing of the compressive strength of concrete specimens is often costly and time consuming. In order to provide the time for concrete form removal, re-shoring to slab, project scheduling and quality control, it is necessary to predict the concrete strength based upon the early strength data. However, concrete compressive strength is affected by many factors, such as quality of raw materials, water cement ratio, ratio of fine aggregate to coarse aggregate, age of concrete, compaction of concrete, temperature, relative humidity and curing of concrete. The concrete compressive strength is a quite nonlinear function that changes depend on the materials used in the concrete and the time. This paper presents an adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) for the prediction of concrete compressive strength. The training of fuzzy system was performed by a hybrid method of gradient descent method and least squares algorithm, and the subtractive clustering algorithm (SCA) was utilized for optimizing the number of fuzzy rules. Experimental data on concrete compressive strength in the literature were used to validate and evaluate the performance of the proposed ANFIS model. Further, predictions from three models (the back propagation neural network model, the statistics model, and the ANFIS model) were compared with the experimental data. The results show that the proposed ANFIS model is a feasible, efficient, and accurate tool for predicting the concrete compressive strength.

As the importance of recycled materials is being emphasized more in the Korean construction market, the production quality has been improved to a significantly high level. Compared to the high quality, however, there are used very limitedly. Among recycled construction materials, recycled aggregates produced through the retreatment of waste concrete are drawing attention because of lack of natural aggregate and heightened consciousness of resource saving and environmental protection and, as a consequence, they are close to natural aggregates in terms of production technology and quality. Despite the high quality and productivity, however,. the utilization of recycled aggregates is very low. Thus, in order to maximize the utility of recycled aggregates, the present study examined the usability of recycled aggregates using both recycled coarse aggregates and recycled fine aggregates together and derived optimal quantity and mixture ratio in the combined use of the two types of recycled aggregate.

Air exclusion test which is the way to assess the quality of the concrete is a part destructive test for minor damaging and accurate measurement. it has been well known but the test process is complexed, so it has been well known in foreign country but it is not usable in our country. For this experiment, it analyze its special quality through the inspection for the factor which effect to the result or accuracy for the Air exclusion test, and it examine through the experiment for the Non destructive test and cylinder compressive test which is different from the air exclusion test. We suggest the suitable classified table for the domestic concrete condition through the comparative analysis against the overseas result that has been suggested before.

This study make an investigation into the quality of sand supplied with remicon manufacturing plant and examine concrete influenced by a source of supply of sand. As a result of the indoor test, the quality of crushed sand, EEZ sand and sand of north korea are worse than general sea sand. therefore, crushed sand, EEZ sand and sand of north sand lower quality of concrete.

Development of construction technology and various condition is realized by high-rise buildings and so concrete placing by pressure pump has been developed in with the trend of large-size and high-rise building. So, it is judged that reservation of the basic data for standard of quality control standard Code by the prediction and this to a quality change exact here is urgent. In this study it is going to carry out experimental research for a physical-properties change searching examination of the concrete by the after pressure change factor which does not become hard by the pumping method of construction.
