This test investigates early strength and durability of concrete using early strength type materials(cement, Polycarboxylate acid). The goal of this test is to secure the strength of 5.0 MPa in 12 hours early age and strength of 14 MPa for 24 hours correspondingly. This type of admixtures, concrete curing temperature, amount of binder and other concrete properties were confirmed by experimental factors. Comparing outcomes from two cases on using early strength type materials and common materials resulted in reducing of costs and shortening of the construction period, that determined the economical benefits of using early strength materials in construction.

This study is intended to investigate the properties of concrete using AE Water Reducing Agent of Early-Strength Type. According to the results, as for the replacing method of mineral admixture, setting time is shortened faster in order of replacement for fine aggregate, combination and replacement for cement, and when AE Water Reducing Agent of Early-Strength Type is used, it is shortened by about 4 hours, compared with normal AE Water Reducing Agent Compressive strength is lower in the case of replacement for fine aggregate, but higher in the other case than that of plain concrete. And When AE Water Reducing Agent of Early-Strength Type is used, early compressive strength is very high in comparison to normal AE Water Reducing Agent. Early strength development is very favorable by the use of AE Water Reducing Agent of Early-Strength Type regardless of the replacing method of mineral admixture at $20^{\circ}C$, but at $l0^{\circ}C$, it is effective for Early strength development that W/B is lowered to below 45%, BS of 20% is replaced for fine aggregate, and AE Water Reducing Agent of Early-Strength Type is used.

The long-term durability characteristics of high-early-strength concrete were assessed. The effect of long-term durability characteristics of high-early-strength concrete were investigated. In experiment, two different types of fiber were adopted for improvement of durability. High-early-strength fiber reinforced concretes using regulated-set cements are compared with high-early-strength concrete without fiber. The durability performance of the laboratory-cured high-early-strength concrete specimens was determined by conducting an accelerated chloride permeability, abrasion resistance, freeze-thaw, surface deicer salt scaling and wet-dry repetition test. The results indicated that incorporation of fibers enhance durability performance.

In this study, revelation performance of concrete at early age according to types of cement, water reducing ratio of high performance superplasticizer and mixing of accelerator for early hydration was examined aiming for reduction of construction period of framework through securing strength at early age of concrete. It was observed that strength at early age, 5MPa in 12hours, 14MPa in 18hours, is secured by early strength improvement type cement and using promotion admixture for early hydration which are Sodium persulfate, Potassium hydroxide. Therefore cost reduction is expected to be possible in construction site by reducing construction period of frame work.

This study is to discuss the effect of the liquid type high early strength agent considering early strength, developing strength, and economics of the concrete using admixtures. The powder type high early strength agent does not helpful because the field application is not available such as the problem of mixing process and rack of economics. To make up these subjects, the plain mixture contains the standard type AE water reducing agent, and the types of the agents are the standard type AE water reducing agent(P),liquid type high early strength agent(AD),poly carboxylate high early strength type AE water reducing agent(E1), and naphthalene + melamine high early strength type AE water reducing agent(E2). As the Contents of the agents, E1 and E2 is two types each cases, and P is one type to satisfy the target fluidity and air content, AD is three types as 0.5, 1.0,and 1.5%. In the case that AD is mixed, the fluidity is decreased, but air content is increased. For increasing strength of the early age, using OPC is more effective than FA and BS for increasing the early strength of the concrete, and if the air content is secure as plain, the effect of the developing strength can be increased because the air content is increased about 2% in the case that AD is used.

Shotcrete (or Sprayed concrete) has been used as an important support material in New Austrian Tunnelling Method (NATM). Since the mid of 1990, permanent shotcrete tunnel linings such as Single-shell, NMT (Norwegian Method of Tunnelling) has been constructed in many countries for reducing the construction time and lowing construction costs instead of conventional in-situ concrete linings. Among essential technologies for successful application of permanent shotcrcte linings, high performance shotcrete providing high strength, high durability, better pumpability has to be developed in advance as an integral component. This paper presents the Ideas and first experimental attempts to increase early strength and bond strength of wet-mixed Steel Fiber Reinforced Shotcrete(SFRS) in sump water condition. In order to increase early strength, a new approach using high-early strength cement with liquid alkali-free accelerator has been investigated From the results, wet-mix SFRS with high-early strength cement and alkali-free accelerator exhibited excellent early strength improvement compared to the ordinary portland content and good bond strength even under sump water condition.

In this research, the characteristics of the strength development and chloride attack resistance on the concrete using high early strength cement by steam curing temperature condition were studied. As a result, It is observed that the early strength(16hr) is increasing and the strength of 28 days is decreasing, according as the rising of the steam curing temperature without the kinds of base cement(OPC and high early strength cement). On the other hand, it is observed that the more the contents of the unit binder(base cement + GGBF) is abundant, the more the steam curing temperature can be reduced in case of the high early strength. Also, the chloride attack resistance is improved according as the amount of GGBF is increased with the kinds of base cement(OPC and high early strength cement).

Recently, very-early strength latex-modified concrete(below ; VES-LMC) has been developed for repairing and overlaying the old concrete bridge deck. VES-LMC provides the advantage of very-early-strength, as well as high flexural strength, bond strength, durability, resistance to corrosion, reduced water permeability and resistance to damage from freeze-thaw cycles. The compressive and flexural strength of VES-LMC are 21 MPa and 4.5 MPa at 3 hours after concrete placing, respectively. However, VES-LMC would have a relatively large shrinkage at early-age because of reduced water-cement ratio, big water self-dissipation, and rapid hydration reaction. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to evaluate the early-age and restrained shrinkage of VES-LMC, having an experimental variables such as latex contents and cement types. The latex contents included 0%, 5%, 10%, 15% and 20%, and the cement types included ordinary portland cement and very-early strength cement.

The use of fly ash in cement and concrete industries has many benefits including engineering, economic, and ecological aspects. However, it has a disadvantage of low strength development, especially at early ages. In this study, in order to overcome this problem, the early strength accelerating agent($NA_{2}$ $SO_{4}$) was selected and applied to the production of high strength concrete(HSC) containing fly ash. It was found that the compressive strength of fly ash concrete incorporating TEX>$NA_{2}$ $SO_{4}$ has greater than that of concrete containing fly ash only until 7 days after casting. From the microstructural point of view, ettringite increased and pores decreased in fly ash concrete incorporating TEX>$NA_{2}$ $SO_{4}$ , leading to the development of early age strength. It was also found that the velocity vs. strength relationship of HSC is considerably different from that of low-strength concrete(LSC). Therefore, in order to predict early age strength of HSC, a estimation equation different from that for LSC is needed.
