This paper reports the results of advanced data analysis involving artificial neural networks for the prediction of the unconfined compressive strength of granite using only two non-destructive test indexes. A data-independent site-independent unbiased database comprising 182 datasets from non-destructive tests reported in the literature was compiled and used to train and develop artificial neural networks for the prediction of the unconfined compressive strength of granite. The results show that the optimum artificial network developed in this research predicts the unconfined compressive strength of weak to very strong granites (20.3-198.15 MPa) with less than ±20% deviation from the experimental data for 70% of the specimen and significantly outperforms a number of available models available in the literature. The results also raise interesting questions with regards to the suitability of the Pearson correlation coefficient in assessing the prediction accuracy of models.

Experimental research was carried out to investigate the confinement effect of concrete specimens confined by interlocking spirals subjected to the concentric axial compressive load. Main variables are the compressive strength of concrete with 2 levels(normal and high strength), the spacing of the spiral reinforcement, the yield strength of the spiral reinforcement with 2 levels and 4 different interlocking lengths. For the same volumetric ratio, the use of interlocking spirals is not as effective as the single spirals, provided that the spirals have the same diameter.

This study was conducted to determine the resilient modulus (Mr) and the unconfined compressive strength (UCS) of two recycled roadway materials such as recycled pavement material (RPM) and road surface gravel (RSG) with or without cement kiln dust (CKD). The recycled materials were blended with two CKD contents (5, 10 %) and 28 day curing time. Mr and UCS tests were also conducted after 10cycles of freezing and thawing to asses the impact of freeze-thaw cycling. Mr was determined conducting by the laboratory test method described by NCHRP 1-28A. Stabilized RPM and RSG had a modulus and a strength higher than unstabilized RPM and RSG. Mr and UCS of RPM and RSG mixed with CKD increased with increasing CKD content. The results indicated that the addition of CKD could be improved the strength and the stiffness of RPM and RSG. Therefore, RPM, RSG and CKD could be used as an effective materials in the reconstruction of roads.

순환자원인 IGCC 슬래그와 Si 슬러지를 활용하여 경량 지오폴리머를 제작하였다. 양생방법 및 침지기간에 따른 압축강도 및 밀도의 변화를 관찰하기 위해 세 가지 양생 방법을 시도하였고, 장기공용성 확인을 위해 침지 기간을 21일까지 변화시켰다. Oven(건조기) 양생 시편의 경우, 침지 기간이 증가할수록 압축 강도가 급격하게 감소하였다. 오토클레이브(autoclave)에서 양생된 시편은 3일과 7일에서는 낮은 압축 강도를 보이다 21일에서 급격한 증가를 보인 반면, 오토클레이브에서 양생 후 oven에서 양생한 시편은 반대로 3일과 7일에서 높은 압축 강도를 보였으나, 21일에서 급격한 감소를 보였다. 따라서 초기강도 발현을 위해서는 oven을 이용한 양생이 효과적이나, 장기간 물에 침지할 경우에는 오토클레이브를 이용한 양생이 바람직 한 것으로 사료되었다.

The evaluation of characteristics of concrete coated by high performance surface penetration agency was examined through various tests, i.e., compressive strength, penetration depth, water and air permeability, absorption according to various high performance surface penetration agencies and various compressive strengths of base concrete. The 4 types of high performance surface penetration agencies were used i.e., organic, inorganic, water soluble, and alcohol soluble. And 3 types of compressive strength of base concrete were used such as 21, 24 and 30 MPa. The characteristics of concrete coated high performance surface penetration agency was more improved than that of non-coated concrete, and especially, water soluble inorganic agency was most effective. And if compressive strength of base concrete was low, the improved effects would be larger.

This experiment was carried out to find out the effectiveness of soil cement stabilization about the Song-I in Cheju province. The results are summarized as follows; 1.The increasing ratio of unconfined compressive strength according to the increment of cement content was markedly low compared with the weathered granite soil, so the effect of stabilization was low. 2.The moisture content of the sample of Song-I indicates the maximum unconfined compressive strength showed at the 5% or so of dry side than the optimum moisture content and the change of the unconfined compressive strength according to the change of moisture content was not sensitive compared with the weathered granite soil. 3.Generally the primary strength of curing age within 7 days of the sulfate resisting cement was low compared with the normal portland cement and the strength of 28 curing days showed a similar tendency, especially in case of Song-I, and it seemed that the sulfate resisting cement was a little more effective than the normal portland cement. 4.As the unconfined compressive strength of grain size controlled Song-I was low compared with the weathered granite soil, so the rate of weight loss by the durability test was great, therefore it was thought that the durability was weak.

The production of ultra-early-strength concrete (UESC) traditionally involves complexity or necessitates high-temperature curing conditions. However, this study aimed to achieve ultra-early-strength performance solely through room-temperature curing. Experimental results demonstrate that under room-temperature (28℃) curing conditions, the concrete attained compressive strengths of 20 MPa at 4 hours and 69.6 MPa at 24 hours. Additionally, it exhibited a flexural strength of 7.5 MPa after 24 hours. In contrast, conventional concrete typically reaches around 20.6 MPa (3,000 psi) after approximately 28 days, highlighting the rapid strength development of the UESC. This swift attainment of compressive strength represents a significant advancement for engineering purposes. Small amounts of steel fibers (0.5% and 1% by volume, respectively) were added to address potential concrete cracking due to early hydration heat and enhance mechanical properties. This allowed observation of the effects of different volume contents on ultra-early-strength fiber-reinforced concrete (UESFRC). Furthermore, the compressive strength of 0.5% and 1% UESFRC increased by 16.3% and 31.3%, respectively, while the flexural strength increased by 37.1% and 47.9%. Moreover, toughness increased by 58.2 and 69.7 times, respectively. These findings offer an effective solution for future emergency applications in public works.

본 연구는 증기양생을 실시하는공장제품을 대상으로 석고계 고강도콘크리트용 혼화재를 사용하여 콘크리트를 고강도화하는데 그 목적이 있다. 목표 슬럼프는 원심력 성형제품을 대상으로 슬럼프 $6{\pm}1cm$가 되도록 고성능감수제로 조절하였으며, 아울러 양생방법에 다른 고강도콘크리트용 혼화재를 사용한 콘크리트의 강도발현 특성을 검토하고자 증기 및 수중양생을 실시 비교하였다. 실험결로부터 고강도 콘크리트용 혼화재는 증기양생이 효과적이며 압축강도 발현은 단위결합재량 $530{\sim}600kg/m^3$의 조건에서 10%치환으로 무치환에 비하여 1.3배 증가된 $650kgf/cm^2$ 이상, 15-30% 치환시 1.4-1.5배 증가된 $700kgf/cm^2$이상을 얻었다. 따라서 고강도콘크리트용 혼화재는 증기양생시의 고강도콘크리트 제조에 효과적으로, 시멘트2차제품 제조에 오오토클레브 양생을 하지 않고 증기양생만으로 고강도콘크리트를 얻을 수 있는 유효한 혼화재임을 나타냈다.

본 연구는 고강도 혼합재 사용에 따른 고강도 콘크리트의 기초물성 및 내화특성을 검토한 것으로, 그 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 유동특성으로 고강도 혼합재를 사용할 경우, 실리카흄을 사용한 경우보다 목표 슬럼프플로우를 만족키 위한 고성능 감수제의 사용량이 감소하는 것으로 나타나, 유동성 확보 차원에서 고강도 혼합재를 사용할 때 실리카흄과 비교할시 우수한 것으로 나타났다. 강도특성으로는 고강도 혼합재 사용 시 재령 7일 초기압축강도가 실리카흄을 사용한 경우보다 증가하는 것으로 나타나, 초기 강도 확보에서 유리함을 확인할 수 있었고, 재령 28일에서는 모두 비슷하게 압축강도를 발현하는 것으로 나타났다. 섬유 혼입율 변화에 따른 압축강도는 미소한 차이만 있을 뿐 큰 차이는 없는 것으로 나타났다. 섬유 무혼입에서 고강도 혼합재 및 실리카흄 모두 폭열이 발생하였지만, 섬유 혼입량 0.05% 이상에서는 폭열이 방지되는 것으로 나타났다.

This study is intended to present a reference data for effective quality control of concrete through comparing the rebound value of P type schmidt hammer with the compressive strength with variation of mix proportion and curing condition. According to the results, the air-curing specimen shows the higher rebound value than standard specimen except high strength in the whole. Also the vertical stroke shows higher rebound value than horizontal stroke in standard specimen, however, the rebound value of the two does not show prominent difference in air-curing specimen. The estimation equation of compressive strength derived from this experiment estimates the compressive strength more largely than the estimation equation in P type schmidt hammer manual. Therefore it is thought that the new estimation equation that fits our condition will have to be presented.
