This paper aims to evaluate hydration and intensity property of different kind of members and intensity in order to evaluate compressive strength of structural concrete using Joint Separation Test Body(JSTB). In fact it is difficult to test and evaluate already have constructed member. In this case, common method used by construction engineer is that ; Schmidt rebound hammer test, Ultrasonic pulse test, Method of using test specimen previously cast. However, these method to control the structural intensity involve many problem and impossibility to adapt construction. 80, this paper proposes advance an opinion which have proper to examine intensity. has also aims to examine its validity and the plan to make similar environment with structural concrete and joint separation test body in order to verify efficiency assessment and on-site application.

Schmidt hammer and ultra-sonic method are commonly used for crushed sand concrete compressive strength test in a construction field. At present, various of equations for prediction of strength are present, which have been used in a construction field. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the correlation between prediction strength by presentation equations and destructive strength to test specimen, and find out which is a suitable equation for the construction site. In this study, a strength test was carried out destructive test by means of core sampling and traditional test. The experimental parameter were concrete age, curing condition, and strength level.

Eighteen biotite granites on Andong area and twenty seven igneous rocks(diorite, granite, andesite, rhyolite) on Yeosu area were tested to evaluate the correlations between the uniaxial compressive strength values, as determined by the standard uniaxial compression test, and the corresponding results of the ultrasonic velocity. The variability of test results for each test was evaluated by calculating the coefficient of determination or variation. Results indicate that strong correlations exist between the results of uniaxial compression vs the point load, Schmidt hammer and ultrasonic velocity test. The correlation equations for predicting compressive strength using different methods are presented along with their confidence limits. Ultrasonic velocity test used provide reliable estimates of compressive strength.

Stress-strain responses of weak-to-strong carbonate rocks used for tunnel construction were studied. The analysis of applicability of exponential stress-strain models based on Haldane's distribution function is presented. It is revealed that these exponential equations presented in transformed forms allow us to predict stress-strain relationships over the whole pre-failure strain range without mechanical testing of rock samples under compression using a press machine and to avoid measurements of axial failure strains for which relatively large values of compressive stress are required. In this study, only one point measurement (small strain at small stress) using indentation test and uniaxial compressive strength determined by a standard Schmidt hammer are considered as input parameters to predict stress-strain response from zero strain/zero stress up to failure. Observations show good predictive capabilities of transformed stress-stress models for weak-to-strong (${\sigma}_c$ <100 MPa) heterogeneous carbonate rocks exhibiting small (< 0.5 %), intermediate (< 1 %) and large (> 1 %) axial strains.

Among the forest road pavement methods, the majority of current constructions utilize concrete pavements but it has disadvantages as follows: many cracked concrete pavements generated by the erosion of underlying soil layers, could not be used as forest roads in steep slope during winter, and cement contains hazardous chemicals (hexavalent chromium, etc.). In order to supplement the limitations of the use of concrete pavement, this study was conducted to investigate the operation process and cost, the strength and compaction of the experimental forest road pavement(85 m) utilizing eco-friendly solidification material at Goryeong-gun, Gyeongsangbuk-do. The work elements of experimental forest road paving were classified into: preparation, Roadbed excavation, Roadbed grading, subgrade compaction, form work, collection and selection of site soil, mixing site soil and eco-friendly solidification material, paving by eco-friendly solidification material, compaction by vibrating roller and curing. The result of economic analysis using construction cost shows that for concrete costs total to $38,681won/m^3$ while for the eco-friendly paving material it is $38,245won/m^3$. Thus the construction costs for concrete and the eco-friendly paving material are similar. And the results of the Schmidt Hammer test for strength analysis by curing period are 10.5-13.5 MPa for 7 days, 18.1-22.7 MPa for 14 days, and 20.8-23.0 MPa for 28 days.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the steel bar corrosion and degree of reinforced concrete bridge, and analyze the cause of corrosion occurrence. Therefore they could ensure the durability and stability as to suggest the corrosion prevention of reinforced concrete structure. To study the corrosion state reinforced concrete structure, We investigate the cover of concrete, the compressive strength by schmidt hammer, the neutralization test of site, the compressive strength of core and the measurement of neutralized depth. As the results of test, the corrosion-grade of reinforced concrete structure which the degree of corrosion is 3, 4 degree get to 18% in the used time of 40 years and the time elapsed of 25 years. Therefore the corrosion of steel bar give rise to public discussion. The degree of corrosion is serious, and the neutralization come to the cover of concrete.

Generally, the method used most widely for rock mass classification is considering the rock strength and development of joint frequency. However, if rock bed has micro-crack and long joint, this method is not rational. Therefore, the difficulties of excavation in the rock bed with complicated geological condition are decided by combining joint frequency. indoor tests (uniaxiall compressive strength, point load test, indoor elastic wave velocity, etc.) and field seismic refraction survey, and the rock mass classification should be implemented by considering their interrelationship.

Rock strength test on Dunduri cliff, Chungnam province, Korea, was performed using N-type Schmidt hammer and the depositional ages of the sediments overlying the cliff were derived using OSL dating method. The averaged R-values of the cliffs investigated here were lower than those observed from the shore platforms, but with larger scatter in the former. R-values were negatively correlated to cliff face retreat, implying that the irregularity of the coastal rock faces was closely related to lithology as the weaker rocks retreated much faster than the harder rocks. The overlying deposit of the cliff tends to be thicker at valleys and were poorly sorted with angular to subangular clasts in a matrix of silt. The OSL ages (ca. 70-77 ka) presented here were older than the previously reported exposure ages (ca. 7-30 ka) of the cliff face. Therefore, it is likely that the present sea cliff was developed by expansion of the platform which had been covered by slope deposits since the last interglacial and exposed again during the Holocene.

Percentage that aggregate of materials that concrete composed about $70{\sim}80%$ of whole volume, therefore influence that quality of aggregate gets in concrete characteristics are very important. Schmidt hammer and ultra-sonic velocity method are commonly used for crushed sand concrete compressive strength test in a construction field. At present, various equations for prediction of strength are present, which have been used in a construction field. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the correlation between prediction strength by present equations and destructive strength to test specimen, and find out which is a suitable equation for the construction site, a strength test was carried out destructive test by means of core sampling and traditional test. The experimental parameters were concrete age, curing condition, and strength level. It is demonstrated that the correlation behavior of crushed sand concrete strength in this study good due to the perform analysis of correlation between core, destructive strength and non-destructive strength.
