In this study, effects of carbon content and fineness of fly-ash on the workability an the strength development of concrete and investigated experimentally. Carbon content with 6 levels (0, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7%) and fineness with 3 levels (4, 000, 5, 000, 6, 000 $\textrm{cm}^2$/g) are selected for test variables. Besides, the effect of fly-ash with variation of initial concrete temperature is tested. To measure slump and air losses, small laboratory agitator is used. As the results, the used AE admixture content to maintain constant initial air content is increased linearly with increasing carbon content in fly-ash. With increasing fineness of fly-ash, the strengths at 3 and 7 days are slightly increased, however, there is no clear difference among 28 day strengths within the scope of this study.

In high-rise buildings, high-strength concrete is widely used to reduce the section of structure members under axial load. Also, the price increase of materials is very important item in the high-rise buildings. Especially, concrete used high-pressure pump due to consecutive structural assembly. Unlike slump type of ordinary concrete, high strength concrete has different properties of concrete pumping due to viscosity. However, there have been no Korean studies on the pumping properties of high strength concrete. Therefore, this paper measures the friction factor of high strength concrete with changes in the pressure of concrete pumping. We analyzed the trends of the friction factor based on changes in the pressure of concrete pumping, and then calculated the quantity of concrete deposited for each specified concrete strength and location of placement. After comparing these results with the quantity of concrete deposited measured in field, we evaluated the pumping properties of high strength concrete. Through the tests and the review, we attempt to suggest some basic information for the In-Situ application of high strength concrete.

This study as using admixture (G), high early strength agent, calcium hydroxide {a(OH)2} and fine particle cement, etc which have been newly developed for the purpose of quality improvements like the improvement of early strength of concrete that the FA was substituted by 20%, etc, reviewed the possibility of the utilization in the great quantity and the results are summarized as the followings. Slump loss by the kind of mixing material of high early strength agent and Ca(OH)$_2$ showed the smaller width of decrease than that of plain to appear the improved results and fine particle cement and G admixture showed the large slump loss. Air contents were appeared to satisfy the target air contents at all mixing materials. Regarding the compressive strength of the concrete by the kind of mixing material, G admixture was appeared to be highest all on aging 3 days, 7days and 28days at the initial strength. And fine particle cement and high early strength agent showed higher strength increase rate on aging 3days than plain but showed that the increase of strength becomes gradually dulled as aging is increased. And Ca(OH)$_2$ had almost no effect.

This study analysis fundamental properties of high-strength concrete corresponding to W/B ratio for suggested table of high strength concrete, mixed with premixed cement. As a result of this study, the amount of using air entraining and high-range water reducing agent for intended slump flow and air content decreased as W/B increased, and the setting time corresponding to the W/B ratio delayed as W/B ratio increased except 20% W/B ratio. The compressive strength according to W/B ratio decreased as W/B ratio increased, and there was no great deferent as the intended slump flow. Also it could possible to use this study at work as the correlation coefficient is high enough as 0.9646 substituting B/W and compressive strength for the regression formula.

In this study, Analyzed the effect of the change in RFA and RCA substitution rate on the concrete containing BS bonding materials but no cement. The findings are as follows. First, the fresh concrete has less slump value and air contents as more RFA and RCA is used. In case of hardened concrete, as more RFA and RCA are used, the higher the compressive strength of concrete becomes. Especially, the compressive strength of concrete which used recycled aggregates only is found to be 2.2 times as high as that of concrete using natural fine and coarse aggregates only. But if the concrete is to be used as the structural concrete having the compressive strength of 13.8 MPa, the alkaline materials and some cement are required to be added.

W/C and unit volume, which significantly affect quality of concrete related to strength and durability, are regulated at below $185kg/m^3$ for regular concrete generally used in standard specification for constructions. The aim of this research is to develop chemical admixture and find out its potential use by identifying characteristics of admixtures added to soft concrete and hardening concrete, of which content ratio of component for each type of admixtures is subject to change in accordance with unit volume within KS' allowable range. Sodium gluconate, polyoxyethylene nonylphenyl ether, poly carboxylic copolymer in slump, which is characteristic of soft concrete, are deemed highly sensitive while there is no air entrainment except for $10\sim70%$ in WE, WR component content ratio and NP. In hardening concrete, strength in general showed higher action in compressive strength and tensile strength than in plain strength. Use of proper AE agent and AE water reducing agent at the same time is deemed to be used as chemical admixtures capable of manufacturing high-quality, high-quantity concrete.

This study is to investigate the properties of concrete with crushed sand on site and to propose a quality guideline for its use as artificial sand and concrete. From our experimental result in laboratory and site, we found that demand water of concrete with crushed sand for target slump increased by 18kg/m3 compared to mixed sand and l8kg/m3 compared to sea sand respectively. The compressive strength increased by around 3∼6% when compared to concrete with sea sand. Accordingly, our study showed that the combined sand mixed with sea sand would be desirable to obtain workability and strength of concrete including dry shrinkage and bleeding test. Furthermore, the optimal replacement percentage of crushed sand was 50% with sea sand. As such, crushed sand would be sufficient as fine aggregate for concrete in terms of economic efficiency and quality. Crushed sand, on the other hand can only be used as fine aggregate when VFS(Very Fine Sand) is below 3.5 percentage of weight of sand and particle shape is above 55 percentage. Also, the particle shape and microsand passing NO.200 sieve should continually be improved to increase workability of concrete on site.

Recently, the construction of underwater structures has been gradually increased, but underwater concrete got some problems of quality deterioration and water contamination around cast-in-situ of construction. In addition, massive underwater structures such as LNG tank, underwater concrete structures of large and continuous high- strength subterranean wall under water are being demanded lower heat of hydration. In this paper, the mechanical properties of high-strength antiwashout underwater concrete (HAWC) containing with two kinds of mineral admixtures respectively were investigated. On the basis of these results, the pH value and suspended solids of HAWC manufactured in the mock-up test were 10.0$\Box$11.0 and 51 mg/${\iota}$ at 30 minutes later, respectively, initial and final setting time were about 30,37 hours, and the slump flow was 530$\pm$20Tm. In the placement at a speed of $27 m^3/hr$, there was no large difference in flowing velocity with or without reinforcing bar, and flowing slope was maintained at horizontal level. Compressive strength and elastic modulus of the cored specimen somewhat decreased as flowing distance was far; however, those of central area showed the highest value.

The aim of this study was to investigate the fundamental properties of pyroclastic flow deposit (PFD), and evaluate the fresh and strength properties of concrete mixed with PFD by indoor tests. The fresh properties, strength properties, shrinkage properties, and durability of the concrete mixed with PFD were also evaluated by outdoor plant tests. the harmful alkali-silica reaction did not occur by mixing concrete with PFD. ages. Moreover, no difficulty was found to be associated with concrete manufacture in the plant because no change in air contents and noticeable slump loss occurred by mixing concrete with PFD. The strength properties, shrinkage properties, and durability of the concrete mixed with PFD were also compared with those of normal concrete. With a suitable temperature control and curing method of concrete, the concrete mixed with PFD is considered to be useful in the construction material field.

The purpose of this research is to develop rapid setting cement latex modified concrete (RSLMC) which will be used to overlay bridge deck for maintaining and repairing. The main experimental variables were the types of rapid setting cement and variation of latex and antifoam agent contents were selected as admixture factor, then the properties of workability and strength development and durability properties were investigated. The results of this study show that latex content give increment of a slump due to surface tension in polymer particles and reduce unit weight of water for preservation of workability. In addition, When no and 1.6~3.2% antifoam agent were mixed, 8%, 2.0~3.8% were respectively obtained. An increasing the amount of latex produced concrete with increased flexural strength, but with slightly lower compressive strength. Rapid chloride permeability and freezing-thawing test carried out. As a results, according to increment of containing ratio antifoamer, strength of RSLMC increase, permeability showed lower value than ignorable 100 coulombs. Also, in the case of more than antifoamer 1.6%, the relativity dynamic modulus is mantained more than 90%, but in case of 0, 5%, it decrease. In consequence, with the view of strength and workability of RSLMC, it is considered that appropriate content ratio of antifoam agent and latex solid are respectively 1.6% by latex weight, 15% by cement weight.
