No-fines concrete is concrete from which the fine aggregate fraction has been omitted. The concrete so formed, consisting only of coarse aggregate, cement, and water, has large voids uniformly distributed through its mass. This study was performed to obtain the basic data which can be applied to the use of no-fines concrete. The data was based on the properties of no-fines concrete depending upon various mixing ratios. The results obtained were summarized as follows. 1. Test result of the consistency, suitable water-cement ratio was increased with the increasing of mixing ratio. 2. At the suitable water-cement ratio, the highest strengths were showed. But it gradually was decreased with the increasing of mixing ratio and strengths are considerably lower than that of conventional portland cement concrete. 3. The relations between compressive and tensile strength were highly singnificant as a straight line shaped. The strength ratio was decreased with the increasing of mixing ratio and considerably lower than of conventional portland cement concrete. 4. Bulk density was decreased with the increasing of the mixing ratio, and was similar to that of the conventional portland cement concrete at mixing ratio 1:4. 5. The relations between strength and bulk density were highly significant as a straight line shaped. The decreasing ratio of strengths was higher than that of bulk density.

Using a transparent fracture replica with aperture size and water-cement ratio (w/c), the factors affecting the penetration behavior of rock grouting were investigated through laboratory experiments. In addition, the waterproof efficiency was estimated by the reduction of water outflow through the fractures after the grout curing process. Penetration behavior shows that grout penetration patterns present similarly radial forms in all experimental cases; however, velocity of grout penetration showed clear differences according to the aperture sizes and water-cement ratio. It can be seen that the waterproof efficiency increased as the aperture size and w/c decreased. During grout injection or curing processes, air bubbles formed and bleeding occurred, both of which affected the waterproof ability of the grouting. These two phenomena can significantly prevent the successful performance of rock grouting in field-scale underground spaces, especially at deep depth conditions. Our research can provide a foundation for improving and optimizing the innovative techniques of rock grouting.

This paper researches the Chloride Binding of Cement Paste according to the Ca/Si and Ca/Al Ratio. The mechanisms of chloride ion binding are not completely known, although it is believed that Alumina contents in cementitious system have an important role. For changing cement paste composition, Ordinary Portland Cement(OPC) paste is substituted by Granulated Ground Blast Slag(GGBS). With increasing the ratio of GGBS substitution(Thus alumina contents is increasing), The chloride binding capacity has a tendency to increase of binding chloride ion capacity.

This study was performed to obtain the basic data which can be applied to the use of foamed mortars using foaming agent of prefoamed type. The data was based on the properties of foamed mortars depending upon various mixing ratios of cement to fine aggregates, flow values and foam-cement ratio to compare those of cement mortar. The results obtained were summarized as follow; 1. At the mixing ratio of 1:0 and the foam-cement ratio of 6.00%, the increasing rate of water-cement ratio was 25% by flow $200{\pm}5mm$, 28% by flow $240{\pm}5mm$ and 32% by flow $280{\pm}5mm$. But it decreased as the mixing ratio gets poorer. The result showed that water amount increased because of the high viscosity caused by the increase of foam-cement ratio. The decrease of water-cement ratio was the greatest when the foam-cement ratio was 1.50%. 2. Absolute aridity bulk density of foamed mortars decreased with the increase of foam-cement ratio and the decrease of flow values. 3. Generally, compressive, tensile and bending strenghs of foamed mortars decreased with the decrease of flow values and the increase of foam-cement ratio. 4. The compressive strength was in proportion to tensile strength. It was estimated that the compressive strength was 8.8 times of tensile strength. The compressive strength was in proportion to bending strength. It was estimated that the compressive strength was 4.0 times of bending strength. The bending strength was in proportion to tensile strength. It was estimated that the bending strength was 2.1 times of tensile strength. 5. At the mixing ratio of 1:1 the lowest absorption rates were showed by foamed mortars, respectively. It was significantly higher at the early stage of immersed water.

Latex modified concrete is governed by both cement hydration and polymer film formation processes in its binder phase. Such the reactions are expected to improve the polymer-cement co-matrixes themselves and the bond between the cement hydrates and aggregates, and to improve the properties of hardened latex-modified concrete. The purpose of this study was to study the strength and chemical resistance of Rapid-setting latex modified concrete(RSLMC) with the main experimental variables such as latex content(0, 5, 10, 15, 20%) and water-cement ratio(36, 38, 40%) at latex content 15%. Water absorption test was earned out to estimate water permeability resistance. Chemical resistance test was carried out to measure the weight change and to observe the appearance of RSLMC immersion in hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, and calcium choloride.

This paper presents the experimental results on the penetration of chloride. ions to ordinary portland cement concrete which is subjected to 2 different artificial environments; consecutive digestion, wetting at $3\%$ NaCl for 1 day and then drying at $40^{\circ}C$ oven for 4 days. The water-cement ratio was $35\%,\;45\%,\;55\%$. Test results showed that the intrusion depth and concentration of chloride ions penetrated into concrete in repeated wetting-drying environments were respectively deeper and higher than those of consecutive digestion environment. The penetration of chloride ions deeply depend on the effect of water to cement ratio.

The purpose of this study is to clarify the effect of the monomer ratio on properties of the polymer-modified mortars based on styrene and butyl acrylate latexes, and to obtain basic data necessary to develop appropriate latexes for cement modifiers. This paper deals with the effects of monomer ratio on the typical properties of the polymer-modified mortars with styrene and butyl acrylate latexes. The polymer-modified mortars using the styrene and butyl acrylate latexes polymerized with various monomer ratios are prepared with different polymer-cement ratios, and tested for the particle size of polymer latexes, air contents, water-cement ratios, flexural and compressive strengths, water absorption, and chloride-ion penetration. From the test results, the polymer-modified mortars using styrene and butyl acrylate latexes with the mix proportions of synthesis having monomer ratios of 50:50 to 60:40 for the appropriate mix proportions can be recommended for practical applications. Their basic properties are greatly affected by the polymer-cement ratio rather than the monomer ratio, and are improved over un-modified mortar.

Production of high strength concrete requires a low water-cement ratio and this leads to the high cement content. Mineral admixture like fly ash(FA) is often cheaper than ordinary portland cement(OPC) and this factor in combination with possible improvement in workability and moderation of the heat evolution of the cement-rich mixes tends to encourage its use. The other mineral admixture that its use has been widly advocated is silica fume that increases compressive strength due to its pozzolanic reaction. The objective of this study is to assess the contribution of mineral admixtures(FA, SF) to the workability and the strength of concrete with low water-binder ratios. In this experimental study that investigates and analyzes the properties of fresh concrete, it is presented that using admixtures like flysh and silica fume as binding material increases properties of high strength flowing concrete having very low water cementitious ratios of 0.25 and 0.30.

To evaluate the bind rate and behavior of two types chloride ion-one is the chloride ion added in mixture when un-washed sea sand is used as fine aggregate, one is the chloride ion admitted in the new version of concrete standard specification, pore solution extracted in cement paste were analyzed. The results are follow. 1 As passing the time, the chloride concentration in the pore solution decreases with the Increase in the chloride content absorbed by the hydrate products. As compared with chloride contents in mixing water, the bound ratio of chloride at 49 days is 64∼90％. 2. The bound ratio of chloride in cement paste considering evaporable water as pore solution is obtained. In case of Pl∼P3(added chloride content wt of cement 0.046∼0.16 ％), the bound ratio of chloride is 91.8∼93.5 ％. P4(added chloride wt of cement 0.3％) is 89.1％, but P5(added chloride wt of cement 0.617％) bound is only 77％. 3. The bound ratio of chloride to wt of cement is 0.015∼0.475％ with adding chloride. In case chloride added over 0.091 ％ wt of cement, the bound chloride content increases 1.7∼1.8 times in spite of added chloride increase twice. The bound ratio of chloride to wt of cement decreased with the increase in the chloride content. 4. The more increase added chloride content, the more increase the bound ration of chloride. But the absolute value of chloride content in pore solution increased.
