This study is about physical properties of concrete with changing displacement ratio of calcium sulfa aluminates(CSA) type admixture. Firstly, test shows that as displacement ratio of CSA increases and setting properties changes, fluidity and air contents decreases. In water to binder ratio 35$\%$ and 45$\%$, concrete using the cement replacing CSA 4$\%$ by volume shows that bleeding decreases 94.7$\%$ and 74.3$\%$ respectively, compared with plain concrete. In addition, setting time was promoted around 3 to 6 hour and 1 to 4 hour respectively. For harden concrete, increase of displacement ratio caused tendency of higher compressive strength as OPC has at early age. Replacing higher CSA admixture led to reduce of drying shrinkage.

This paper described the evaluation results on unconfined compressive strength characteristics of CLSM with paper sludge ash, in order to develop a CLSM that can prevent sewer pipe damage. The flowability test and the unconfined compressive strength test were performed according to mix design condition of CLSM. The flowability test result showed that the water content, which can satisfy the flowability criteria, was 24% to 32% according to the mix design condition. The results of unconfined compressive strength test showed that the strength incremental ratio was high between 1 and 7 days of curing time, and the strength at this time was more than about 50% of the strength at 28 days of curing time. The strength of CLSM was greatly influenced by fly ash. However, it was analyzed that the mixture of paper sludge ash is required when the reference strength of CLSM is considered. Although the strength of the high cement ratio was higher than that of the low cement, a cement ratio of 5% would be a reasonable mix design condition of CLSM.

The slurry infiltrated fiber concrete(SIFCON) is recognized as one of the most promising new construction materials. Compressive and direct tensile tests are performed to investigate the mechanical property of SIFCON. Hooked-end steel fibers are used in the mix with fiber volume fraction varied from 4% to 10%. The water/cement ratio is kept constant at 0.4. The amount of silica fume added is 10% by weight of cement and 0.5% of water reducing agent is added to improve the workability of the slurry. The test results in this study show that the compressive strength of SIFCON is about 1.59 to 2.68 times in comparison with the cement paste. Tensile strength is showed the enhancement of about 2.51 to 8.77 times. It is also observed that the toughness and ductility of SIFCON are increased significantly with the increasing in fiber volume fraction.

In order to meet the high performance of the concrete, the viscosity increases with water binder ratio and amount of powder. because of these problems, we use high performance water reducing agent and low viscosity water reducing agent, but side effects may occur when using large amount of water reducing agent. Therefore, in this research, in order to increase the viscosity, I would like to analyze the change in viscosity and flow characteristics of paste by utilizing fly ash and lung limestone which are generally thrown away without using high performance water reducing agent.

Recently, the press and institute recognized fly ash as it had excellent performance. Its research and applications are on the rise largely as a substitute for cement. On the contrary, it is in a situation that the regulation of high fineness fly ash remains at a low level. As for the fly ash in $3,000{\sim}4,500\;cm^2/g$ class fineness regulated in KS L 5405, it is used by substituting it around the unit weight of cement 20%. Accordingly, the regulation in upper classification is in a situation of being insufficient. Therefore, this study aimed to establish 4000, 6000, and 8000 class of fineness of fly ash and three levels of substitute like 15%, 30%, and 45% in order to analyze the substitute and effect of water-binder ratio for fly ash that affected the properties of ternary system concrete. As a result of experiment by planning water-binder ratio for two levels like 40% and 50%, the more replacement ratio and fineness of fly ash increased in the performance not hardened, the more the fluidity increased. This study has found out that the air content decreased, and that there was setting acceleration and it decreased the heat of hydration. In addition, as for the strength properties in a state of performance hardened concrete, the more the replacement ratio and the ratio of water-binding materials increased, the more it had a tendency of being decreased.

This study is to performed to find the optimum mix proportion of the high strength and self compacting concrete for the above-ground LNG storage tank construction and field application. If LNG storage tank wall thicknesscan be reduced, the construction cost and quality can be improved by using self-compacting high strength concrete with compressive strength 60~80 MPa. For this purpose, low heat cement (Type IV) and class F fly ash are used in concrete mix to control hydration heat, flowability, and viscosity. Mix design variables of unit water, fly ash replacement ratio, water-binder ratio, and fine aggregate ratio are selected and tested for material properties and manufacturing cost of the concrete. Also, fly ash replacement ratio is considered using confined water ratio test. The test results showed that the optimum mix proportion of the self-compacting high strength concrete characteristics are as follows. 1) In case of the concrete with specified compressive strength of 60 MPa, the optimum mix proportion is fly ash replacement ratio of 20% and water- binder ratio of 27~30%. 2) In case of the concrete with the strength of 80 MPa, the optimum mix proportion is fly ash replacement ratio of 10% and water-binder ratio 25%. But unit water and fine aggregate ratio are 165 $kg/m^3$ and $51{\pm}2%$, respectively, regardless of the traget concrete compressive strength range. Also, test results showed that concrete manufacturing cost of 60 MPa and 80 MPa concrete require additional costs of 14~22% and 33%, respectively, compared to the manufacturing cost of 40 MPa concrete. Therefore, application of the self-compacting high strength concrete has proven to be economical in the perspective of the material cost, quality control, and site management.

The purpose of this study is to investigate experimentally the workability, compressive and flexural strength properties of rapid-set concrete with various mixture. The kinds of fine aggregate(river sand, sea sand, crushed sand), water-cement ratio(40%, 45%, 50%), sand-aggrega to ratio(33%, 36%, 39%) were chosen as the experimental parameters. Test variables are temperature of concrete, slump, air contents, compressive and flexural strength. The compressive and flexural strength for 3 hours and 6 hours were tested. As result, it was shown that temperature of concrete involved 45$^{\circ}C$, some time later decreased. The workability were decreasing in steps as the sand-aggregate ratio increased and crushed sand was the highest value. Higher compressive and flexural strength was shown following the order of river sand, sea sand, crushed sand regardless of sand-aggregate ratio. But the values of gap was just a little.

The Carbonation, one of the main deterioration factors of concrete, reduces capacity of members with providing rebar corrosion environment. Consequently it suggested standards of all countries of world, carbonation depth prediction equation of respective researchers and time to rebar corrosion initiation. As a result of carbonation depth prediction equation calculation, difference of time to rebar corrosion initiation is 149 years and difference of carbonation depth prediction equation is 162 years when water cement ratio is 50%. So a study on rebar corrosion with carbonation depth will need existing reliable data and verifications by experiment.

In this study we changed W/C into 45, 50, 55, 60%, mixed sea sand which is often used as a replacing aggregate according to the lack of recourse with river sand in the ratio of 5:5 and producted antiwashout underwater concrete. We measured slump flow, air value, pH and suspension in the fresh concrete. After testing each W/C through unit weight and compressive strength of specimen which is produced and cured in the air and salt water it was founded that if sea sand was properly used after salt manufacturing, there will be no bad influence to antiwashout underwater concrete. The characteristic of them showed excellent, when W/C was 50%.
