This study investigated to predict the compressive strength of unsaturated polyester resin based polymer concrete using the maturity method. The test results show that the development of the compressive strength increased exponentially until an age of 24 hours. After 24 hours, the development of the compressive strength just increased gradually. This test result shows that the strength of unsaturated polyester resin based polymer concrete was developed mainly at the early age. Estimated datum temperature of unsaturated polyester resin based polymer concrete was $-20.67^{\circ}C$ which was much lower than of datum temperature ($-10^{\circ}C$) of Portland cement concrete. Also, this study result shows that the existing maturity index associated with Portland cement concrete was not applicable for polymer concrete because curing time of Portland cement concrete is different clearly with curing time of polymer concrete. The cause of different curing time was that there were different curing mechanisms between Portland cement concrete and polymer concrete. In order to best apply the experimental data to a model, CurveExpert Professional, the commercial software, was used to determine the predictive model regarding the compressive strength of unsaturated polyester resin based polymer concrete. As a result, Gompertz Relation or Weibull Model was an appropriate model as a predictive model. The proposed model can be used to predict the compressive strength, especially, it is more useful when the maturity is in the range between $40^{\circ}C{\cdot}h^{0.4}$ and $900^{\circ}C{\cdot}h^{0.4}$.

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.

이 연구에서는 실리카퓸 및 수축 저감제, 팽창재, 고성능 감수제의 혼입을 변수로 한 초고성능 시멘트 복합체(UHPCC)의 초기 수축 거동을 평가하기 위하여 화학수축 및 자기수축 실험을 수행하고, 응결 측정 결과와 비교하여 UHPCC의 자기건조 시작 시점에 대하여 분석하였다. 실험 결과, 실리카퓸 및 수축 저감제는 초기 화학수축을 증가시키는 경향을 보였으며, 고성능 감수제는 시멘트와 배합수의 수화 반응을 지연시키고 화학수축을 저감시키는 것으로 나타났다. 수축 저감제와 팽창재를 조합하여 적용한 경우 약 49%의 자기수축 저감 효과를 보였으며, 팽창재는 경화를 촉진 시키는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 UHPCC는 다수의 섬유 혼입과 낮은 물-결합재비에 의해 초결 이전부터 자기건조 현상이 발생하는 것으로 나타났다.

이 논문은 고강도 콘크리트의 양생 강도 발현을 모니터링하기 위하여 콘크리트 내부에 매립이 가능한 지능형 센서를 제작하고 제작된 지능형 센서를 이용하여 콘크리트 내부의 유도 초음파 전달 시간을 측정함으로써, 콘크리트의 양생 강도를 실시간 추정할 수 있는 기법을 보여준다. 압전 소자를 콘크리트 내부에 삽입하는데 있어, 콘크리트의 수화열과 양생 시의 미세 변형으로부터 보호되어야 하므로, 방수 코팅과 모르타르 케이싱을 하였으며 이렇게 제작된 지능형 센서로부터 저비용의 셀프 센싱 기반 유도 초음파를 계측하여 콘크리트 내부의 유도 초음파 전달 시간을 모니터링하는 기법을 제안하였다. 콘크리트의 양생이 진행됨에 따라 콘크리트의 강도가 증가하게 되는데, 이는 즉 콘크리트의 탄성 계수가 증가하기 때문이며 이로 인해, 유도 초음파의 전달 시간이 빨라지는 것이므로, 이를 측정하여 콘크리트 양생 강도를 추정할 수 있게 된다. 제안된 기법의 적용가능성을 검증하기 위하여 설계 압축강도 100 MPa의 공시체 내부에 지능형 센서를 매립하고 양생기간 동안 유도 초음파를 측정, 비교 분석하였다. 유도 초음파 신호는 양생이 진행됨에 따라 더 빠르게 전달되었으며, 특히 강도 변화가 급격하게 일어나는 초기 재령에서의 유도 초음파 전달속도 변화가 가장 크게 나타났고 그 이후로 점차 감소하는 경향을 보여주었다. 또한, 유도 초음파 전달 시간과 강도 사이의 선형 상관관계를 이용하여 유도 초음파의 전달 시간을 이용해 발현강도를 추정하는 콘크리트 양생강도 추정식을 제안하였다. 결과적으로 이 연구를 통해 개발된 매립형 지능형 센서를 이용하여 고강도 콘크리트의 양생 강도를 실시간 모니터링할 수 있음이 검증되었다.

In construction industry, strength is a primary criterion in selecting a concrete for a particular application. The concrete used for construction gains strength over a long period of time after pouring the concrete. The characteristic strength of concrete is defined as the compressive strength of a sample that has been aged for 28 days. Neither waiting for 28 days for such a test would serve the rapidity of construction, nor would neglecting it serve the quality control process on concrete in large construction sites. Therefore, rapid and reliable prediction of the strength of concrete would be of great significance. On this backdrop, the method is proposed to establish a predictive relationship between properties and proportions of ingredients of concrete, compaction factor, weight of concrete cubes and strength of concrete whereby the strength of concrete can be predicted at early age. Multiple regression analysis was carried out for predicting the compressive strength of concrete containing Portland Pozolana cement using statistical analysis for the concrete data obtained from the experimental work done in this study. The multiple linear regression models yielded fairly good correlation coefficient for the prediction of compressive strength for 7, 28 and 40 days curing. The results indicate that the proposed regression models are effectively capable of evaluating the compressive strength of the concrete containing Portaland Pozolana Cement. The derived formulas are very simple, straightforward and provide an effective analysis tool accessible to practicing engineers.

The temperature control of in-place concrete is the most important factor for an early age of curing concrete. Heat stress of mass concrete caused by the heat of hydration can induce the crack of concrete, and a frost damage from cold weather casting concrete results defect on compressive strength and degradation of durability. Therefore, success and failure of concrete work is dependant on the measurement and control of concrete temperature. In addition, the compressive strength assessment of in-place concrete obtained from the maturity calculated from the history of temperature make a reduction of construction cycle time, possible. For that purpose, wireless temperature measuring system was developed to control temperature and assess strength of concrete. And, it was possible to monitor the temperature of concrete over 1km apart from site office and to take a proper measure; mesh-type network was developed for wireless sensor. Furthermore, curing control system that contains the program capable to calculate the maturity of concrete from the history of temperature and to assess the compressive strength of concrete was established. In this study, organization and practical method of developed curing control system are presented; base on in-place application case.

For cold weather concreting, frost damage at early age is generated in the concrete, and problems such as delaying of setting and hardening and lowering of strength manifestation emerge due to the low outside air temperature at the early stage of pouring, making the selection of an effective curing method critically important. Unfortunately, the tent sheet currently used as the curing film for heating insulation at work sites, not only has the problems of inferior permeability and extremely deteriorated airtightness, but a phenomenon of continuous fracturing is also generated along the direction of fabric of the material itself, presenting difficult circumstances for maintaining adequate curing temperature. The aim of this study was to develop an improved bubble sheet type curing film for heating insulation of cold weather concrete by combining mesh-tarpaulin, which has excellent tension properties, with bubble sheet, which offers superior insulation performance. The analysis showed that the improved curing film in which BBS1 is stacked to MT was a suitable replacement for curing films currently in use, as it has better permeability, tension property, and insulation performance than the T type film used at work sites today.

This study is intended to investigate the properties of early strength development by application of TEA to the field. According to the results, when TEA is added, fluidity is almost same to base concrete, and increases upto aimed slump after field flowing. Setting time does not differ in the case of base and TEA, but retarded after flowing. The time when compressive strength gains 5 MPa, which side form can be removed, is 23 hours, and so the removal time is shortened by I hours in comparison with plain concrete. But compressive strength is almost same to that of plain concrete at 28 days. The rebound value of P type schmidt hammer show similar tendency to compressive strength, and the rebound value of structure is higher than that of standard curing specimen due to heat capacity effect and drying by the air outside. Therefore, it is thought that if the rebound value of P type schmidt hammer is controled. by about 26 in consideration of open air environment, it is very effective to determine the removal time of side forms.
