  • Roller compacted concrete (RCC) used in the island reef airport runway will be subjected to the coupling actions of the fatigue impacts and the salt spray cycles, which will accelerate the deterioration of runway concrete and even threaten the flight safety. A cyclic impact testing machine and a climatic chamber were used to simulate the low-velocity fatigue impact and the salt spray cycles, respectively. The physical properties, the microstructures and the porosity of RCC were investigated. The results show the flexural strength firstly increases and then decreases with the increase of the fatigue impacts and the salt spray cycles. However, the decrease in the flexural strength is significantly earlier than the compressive strength of RCC only subjected to the salt spray cycles. The chlorine, sulfur and magnesium elements significantly increase in the pores of RCC subjected to 30000 fatigue impacts and 300 salt spray cycles, which causes the decrease in the porosity of RCC. The coupling effects of the fatigue impacts and the salt spray cycles in the later period accelerates the deterioration of RCC.

  • This study presents a model to better understand the shear behavior of reinforced concrete walls subjected to lateral load. The scope of the study is limited to squat walls with height to length ratios not exceeding two, deformed in a double-curvature shape. This study is based on limited knowledge of the shear behavior of low-rise shear walls subjected to double-curvature bending. In this study, the wall ultimate strength is defined as the smaller of flexural and shear strengths. The flexural strength is calculated using a strength-of-material analysis, and the shear strength is predicted according to the softened strut-and-tie model. The corresponding lateral deflection of the walls is estimated by superposition of its flexibility sources of bending, shear and slip. The calculated results of the proposed procedure correlate reasonably well with previously reported experimental results.

  • In this study, analyzed the difference in compressive strength of concrete under cold conditions, using the 28-day standard curing compressive strength as a reference and examining variations based on cement types and curing temperatures. The results showed that the strength difference based on curing temperatures reached up to 9MPa at 0℃. However, as the curing period progressed, the difference in strength due to curing temperature gradually diminished. These findings are anticipated to be valuable for concrete mixing and quality control in cold weather conditions.

  • Crack control due to temperature is an important factor for the mass concrete structure. Pre-cooling is the effective system to reduce the highest temperature of mass concrete. In this study, for pre-cooling, cooling water, cooling water with ics flake are used. The results of a series of experimental studies indicate that the changes in properties of fresh concrete after cooling are of low degree, and compressive strength of concrete is changed very little by cooling. The adiabatic temperature rise is also measured with pre-cooling concrete specimens. It is shown that hydration heat characteristics of cement and concrete were largely affected by pre-cooling.

  • In this study we measured the changes according to time respectively on the basis of 0, 30, 60 and 90 minutes, taking into consideration the decline in fluidity of concrete according to elapsed time to analyze manufacturing capability of batcher plant according to elapsed time of ready-mixed concrete manufactured in batcher plant, and offer basic data for mixture design of ultra-high strength concrete. The proportion of water-binder was 23.55, water content was 160kg/m3, proportion of replacement of crushed sand was 0, 20 and 40% at 3 level, and we applied to the same condition of triaxial component using blast furnace slag powder and silica fume as admixture. And to meet the demand of certain fluidity, we measured respectively on property before and after hardening of ultra-high strength concrete using superplasticizer. As a result of experiment, before hardening of ultra-high strength concrete showed the best fluidity in conditions of crushed sand replacement rates of 20% and superplasticizer composition of 1.95%, but it appeared that fluidity drops as time goes by in the same composition condition. And it appeared that when it comes to hardened, the changes of compression strength according to elapsed time by crushed sand replacement rates were within 1MPa. Therefore, it turned out that the difference of strength according to elapsed time was low and compression strength of 280dys in composition mentioned above appeared highly as 88MPa.

  • The purpose of this study is to find the influence of interface and confinement on bond between reinforcing steel and concrete subjected to monotonic and cyclic loading. The key variables for the experimental program include rib height, rib spacing for reinforcing bars and confinement. From the results obtained in this study, the following main observations can be made for the bond properties. Bond strength increases when confinement increases under monotonic and cyclic loading. Bond stiffness and strength drop remarkably after the maximum bond strength. Both bond stiffness and strength also drop at a constant slip when the number of cyclic loading increase. The bond resistance subjected to cyclic loading decreases significantly for reinforcing bars with low rib height.

  • The purpose of this study evaluates possibilities of waste phosphogypsum into concrete by steam curing admixture. The waste phosphogypsums were classified into 4 forms(Dihydrate, $\beta-Hemihydrate$, III-Anhydrite and II-Anhydrite) which were changed to in low temperature of calcination. Also, various admixtures were made of waste phosphogypsum(PG) and pozollanic fine powderers (Fly-ash, Blast Furnace Slag), and the basic properties of the cement mortars incorporating with these admixtures were examined and analyzed under a verity of experimental conditions. As a result, III-Anhydrite, these is similar to II-Anhydrite from compressive strength and are great in the effect of strength improvement. also, it was proved that specimens made on type III-Anhydrite of waste phosphogypsum and blast furnace slag increased on the compressive strength of cement mortar. Therefore, III-Anhydrite phosphogypsum calcined at lower temperature could be used as steam curing admixture for concrete 2th production.
