It is necessary to develop a new technology for effectively controlling thermal crack caused hydration heat according to the increasing construction of large size massive concrete structures such as mat foundation of high-rise building. Therefore, to develop a new technology for reducing hydration heat of large size massive concrete in this study, it was investigated hydration heat generation properties of binder using latent heat materials. As a test result, it was confirmed that latent heat materials were advanced on the reduction of hydration heat and control of thermal crack. It is expected to be applied as the excellent technology on the management of hydration heat and thermal crack in large size massive concrete structures.

It is necessary to develop a new technology for effectively reducing hydration heat and controlling thermal cracking caused increasing construction of large size massive concrete structures such as mat foundation of high-rise building, grandiose bridge, and LNG tank. Therefor, to develop a new technology for reducing hydration heat of large size massive concrete in this study, after developing the latent heat binder for controling hydration heat of concrete by application of latent heat material, it was investigated basic properties and durability such as slump, air content and compressive strength, shrinkage properties, permeability, freezing and thawing resistance, corrosion, and hydration heat generation properties of concrete using latent heat binder. As a test result, it was confirmed that latent heat binder was not affected adversely the basic property and durability of concrete, and was advanced on the reduction of hydration heat and control of thermal crack. It is expected to be applied as the excellent technology on the management of hydration heat and thermal crack in large size mass concrete structures.

A Plastic Bonded Explosive(PBX) is mainly composed of nitramine explosive and polymer binder. The great number of serious applications of PBX requires the good adhesion between nitramine crystals and binder, which depends on the surface characteristics of a filler and binder. In the pursuit of the better design to achieve the enhanced adhesion, profound knowledge of the surface and interfacial characteristics of explosive and binder should be exploited. In this study, the influences of physicochemical properties between RDX and binders such as interfacial tension($\gamma_{SL}$), latent heat($Q_m$), and density($\rho$) on impact sensitivity of PBX were investigated. As experimental results, the major contribution factor to impact sensitivity of PBX was the interfacial tension, compare with other surface properties. The correlation coefficient of $H_{50}$ versus $\gamma_{SL}$ is 0.9932 when a polynomial regression method was used.

Energetic plasticizers containing explosophore groups such as $-NO_2$, $-ONO_2$, and $-N_3$ group are susceptible to impact, shock, heat, etc, finally deteriorating the insensitivity of PBXs. In this study, in an attempt to investigate the feasibility of replacing sensitive explosophore groups to fundamentally inactive but potentially (latent) energetic fluorine group which was known to have an exothermic thermite reaction with aluminum, nano-aluminum/fluorinated polyurethane binders were prepared by simultaneous polyurethane and catalyst-free azide-alkyne click reaction in the presence of nano-aluminum. Thermal characteristics of nano-aluminum/fluorinated polyurethane binders were monitored by using DSC with high pressure crucible pan.

In winter, the excessive use of deicing salt deteriorates concrete pavement durability. To reduce the amount of deicing salt used, phase-change materials (PCMs) potentially offer an alternative way to melt snow through their latent heat storage characteristics. In this research, thermal energy storage concrete was developed by using PCM-impregnated expanded clay as 50 % replacement to normal aggregate by volume. In addition, to improve the thermal efficiency of PCM lightweight aggregate (PCM-LWA)-incorporated concrete, multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were incorporated in proportions of 0.10 %, 0.15 %, and 0.20 % by binder weight. Compressive strength testing and programmed thermal cycling were performed to evaluate the mechanical and thermal responses of the PCM-LWA concrete. Results showed a significant strength reduction of 54 % due to the PCM-LWA; however, the thermal performance of the PCM-LWA concrete was greatly improved with the addition of MWCNTs. Thermal test results showed that 0.10 % MWCNT-incorporated concrete had high thermal fatigue resistance as well as uniform heat flow, whereas specimens with 0.15 % and 0.20 % MWCNT content had a reduced thermal response due to supercooling when the ambient temperature was varied between -5℃ and 10℃.
