Since the steel fiber used in concrete to improve shear and ductility capacity, a number of laboratory tests have been studied to define shear strengthening effect according steel fiber contents in concrete. This study investigates shear strengthening effect of steel fiber in RC columns according to compression strength of concrete. From the structural performance test, following conclusions can be made; the maximum enhancement of shear strengthening effect can be achieved at about 1.0 %~l.5 % of steel fiber contents in comparison with shear capacity ratio, and ductility capacity slightly improved as steel fiber contents increased.

An experimental study was conducted to investigate the effectiveness of transverse reinforcement in reinforced concrete tied columns subjected to monotonically increasing axial compression. Eighteen large-scale columns(260$\times$260$\times$120mm) were fabricated to simulate similarly an actual structural members size. Effects of main variables such as the concrete compressive strength, the tie configuration, the transverse reinforcement ratio, the tie spacing, and the spatting of the concrete cover were studied in this research program.

The exact solution of strength of reinforced concrete RC columns subjected to axial compression combined with biaxial bending needs trial and adjustment procedure to find the depth and inclination of the neutral axis. Thus, approximate methods of analysis and design for biaxial bending are used in practice. Load contour interprets the relation of biaxial bending and equivalent uniaxial bending by u factor which is related to material properties and column shapes. The purpose of this study is to investigate the behavior of high strength RC columns subjected to the combined axial compression and biaxial bending. Fifteen test specimens with dimensions of 200mm$\times$200mm and 4-Dl3 longitudinal steel were examined. The variable of the test is compressive strength of concrete (350, 585, 650kgf/$cm^{2}$), compression load ratio (0.2$P_{o}}$, 0.35$P_{o}}$, 0.5$P_{o}}$), and inclination of loading ($\theta$=0, 22.5, $45^{\circ}$). Test results of coefficient $\alpha$ depending on the compressive strength of concrete are compared with ACI code.

The main objective of this study is to provide data on high strength concrete columns subjected to axial load and biaxial bending. For the design of biaxial bending, the approximate method (Bresler load contour method, PCA load contour method) is presented in ACI code. The present study investigate whether the methods are valid in high strength concrete and compare analysis results(by FEM method) with experimental results. Also, this study examines whether statics method and failure surface equation(by Hsu) are adequate.

Short reinforced concrete bridge piers are particularly susceptible to shear failure as a consequence of the high shear/moment ratio and conservatism in the flexural strength design of existing RC bridge pier, which were constructed before 1992. In addition, shear failure is brittle and involves rapid strength degradation. Inelastic shear deformation is thus unsuitable fur ductile seismic response. It is, however, believed that there are not many experimental research works fur shear failure of the existing RC bridge pier in Korean peninsula subjected to earthquake motions. The object of this research is to evaluate the seismic performance of existing circular RC bridge piers by the quasi-static test. Existing RC bridge piers were moderate seismically designed in accordance with the conventional provisions of Korea Highway Design Specification. This study has been performed to verify the effect of aspect ratio (column height-diameter ratio). Quasi-static test has been done to investigate the physical seismic performance of RC bridge piers, such as lateral force-displacement hysteric curve, envelope curve etc.

Composite boundary elements with H steel sections could be used to enhance the strength and ductility of high-rise shear walls. The enhancement of earthquake resistance is expected to be achieved due to the inherent strength and ductility of the steel sections, and also due to the confinement effect to a core concrete. Experimental study were peformed for the compression zone of composite shear walls with multiple H sections at the boundaries. The effect of the steel sections on the overall behavior of the composite shear walls were investigated. Also, additional tests were conducted to investigate the contribution of H sections to the confinement of concrete.

The concrete bridge decks are in need of replacement and rehabilitation due to decreasing load carrying capacity. In this study, to extend life cycle of the concrete bridge decks which are reinforced with the glass fiber sheets, the concrete bridge decks are examined on the strengthen effect and the fatigue behavior. The behavior of strengthened slabs is represented by load-displacement relationship, variation of compliance and total released energy. Owing to result of that, the strengthened slabs is modified the elasticity, the compliance and represents to control the crack elongation, to elevate the total released energy, to modify the fatigue life. When the concrete bridge deck is strengthened, the crack propagation nay be controled efficiently.

The compression toe of structural wall is designed to resist the axial compression and shear force caused by wind or earthquake. The performance of shear wall used in tall building is highly influenced by combined shear and axial force. For this reason, it is possible to result in local brittle failure because of concentrated damage in the potential plastic hinge region under severe earthquake. Thus, it is necessary to establish the lateral confinement details at the plastic hinge of shear wall so that shear wall can behave a ductile manner, The objective of this study is to evaluate the seismic performance of L-shaped walls with different confinement details. For this purpose, three wall specimens were tested experimentally and also analyzed using Nonlinear FEM package.

Portland cement concrete is made with coarse aggregate, fine aggregate, portland cement, water and, in some cases, selected chemical admixtures such as air-entraining agents, water reducer, superplasticizer, and so on, and mineral admixtures such as fly ash, silica fume, slags, etc. Typically, in the concrete, the coarse aggregate and fine aggregate will occupy approximately 80 percent of the total volume of the final mix. Therefore, the coarse and fine aggregates affect to the properties of the portland cement concrete. As the natural sands are drained, it is necessary and economical to utilize crushed sands(manufactured fine aggregate). It is reported that crushed sands differ from natural sands in gradation, particle shape and texture, and the micro fines in the crushed sands affect to the quality of the portland cement concrete. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to investigate the characteristics of fresh and hardened concrete with high content of micro fines. This study provides firm data for the use of crushed sands with higher micro fines.

Because the WFS(Waste Foundry Sand), by-product of a casting factory, is generally a smaller particle than a fine aggregate, it has a bad influence on quality of concrete. Especially, the grading of aggregate is a very important factor in the case of concrete-based products having low water cement ratio manufactured by vibration and pressing method. Therefore, it is necessary to use WFS with the suitable grading of aggregate that it don't has a bad Influence on the quality of concrete-based products. This study investigated the suitable using proportion of WFS by means of the composition method of aggregate suggested by Driscoll. The results showed that it was desirable to use 10% of WFS since higher strength was developed with that amount.

Utilization of demolished-concrete as recycled aggregate has been researched for the purpose of substituing for insufficient natural aggregate, saving resources and protecting environment. There, however, are some problems that qualities of recycled aggregates are not only largely diverse, but also mechanical properties of recycled aggregate concrete decrease a little in comparison with those of natural aggregate concrete. In this study, the resistance to freezing and thawing of recycled aggregate concrete was highly different due to adhered mortar on recycled aggregate, and durability factor of concrete with NA SRA and DRA was decreased more than that of control concrete. However, durability factor of concrete with AA SRA was larger than that of control concrete.

Because the grading of aggregate is major factor affecting on compressive strength and durability of concrete, the standard specification of concrete has proposed that the standard grading should be used to make ordinary concrete having good quality. But, it is not suitable for making product having low W/C because of difference between them in manufacturing processes and demanded efficiencies. This study investigated if the grading of the fine aggregate affects on tamping efficiency and compressive strength of concrete-based product. The results of this study showed that the suitable grading for making concrete-based product ranged from C type(FM:2.77) to D type(FM:3.38).

Using waste glass in concrete can cause crack and strength loss by the expansion of alkali-silica reaction(ASR). In this study, ASR expansion and properties of strength were analyzed in terms of clear waste glass grading, and by-products(fly ash, blast-furnace slag) and by-products content for reduction ASR expansion due to waste glass. In this accelerated ASTM C 1260 test of waste glass, pessimum grading can be found. Also, when the by-products are used with waste glass, there is an effect on reduction of expansion and strength loss due to ASR between the alkali in the cement paste and the silica in the waste glass.

Slag product has the possibility as alternative aggregate and sand under the circumstance of natural resource shortage. Copper slag is the by-product produced in process of copper industry. Recycling the slag in construction industry could give positive effects on the environmental preservation. This study presents that the fundamental properties of high strength concrete which used copper slag as alternative sand. Testing factors are concrete's slump, bleeding, air contents and compressive strength. The results of this study are as follows. (1) Mixing of W/C 30%, substitution rate 25% shows the best slump. As substitution rates are going up, concrete slump is uprising and air contents are downsizing. (2) The bleeding of concrete becomes more serious as substitution rates are going up. (3) The best compressive strength of copper slag concrete is achieved in mixing of W/C 30%, substitution rate 25%.

In this paper, we evaluated the suitability of steel slag(is divided with electric arc furnace slag and converter slag) as concrete aggregate by measuring physical and chemical characteristics of it. The steel slag mainly contains SiO$_2$ and CaO as the chemical composition. The reaction with water and a little of free CaO in the slag causes slag's volume to expand. Therefore, we used several aging methods in order to decrease the characteristics of slag volume expansion. The physical properties of steel slag aggregate are researched and then the strength of concrete with the steel slag aggregate is measured.

In this study, the physical and dynamic characteristics of Bottom-ash produced at steam power plants were compared and considered. The comparative objects were Bottom-ash in which a lot of powder contained and that in which less than that relatively contained. The difference in quantity of powder showed different effect on the character of flow. This study was undertaken on the use of Bottom-ash as a fine aggregate, and showed the durability and the character of strength according to each rate.

In the results of this study, the bond strength of polymer cement slurry coated re-bar compare to plain re-bar, epoxy coated re-bar decreased St/BA-modified polymer cement slurry coated re-bar, but bond strength of PA-modified polymer cement slurry coated re-bar appeared to excellent results. The bond properties of polymer cement slurry coated re-bar between concrete will be obtain more precise results according to compressive strength change of concrete and re-bar diameter size.

The Purpose of this study is to clarify the effect of the monomer ratio on properties of the polymer-modified mortars using methyl methacrylate-butyl acrylate latexes, and to obtain basic data necessary to develop appropriate latexes for cement modifiers. This paper deals with the effect of the monomer ratio on the typical properties of polymer-modified mortars with methyl methacrylate-butyl acrylate latexes. The polymer latex-modified mortars are prepared with 5, 10, IS and 20% of polymer cement ratio respectively, and properties of modified mortars such as water absorption, compressive and flexural strengths, chloride-ion penetration depth are tested. The test results indicate that the monomer ratio is very important factors to characterize the strength properties of polymer-modified mortars, but the water absorption and chloride-ion penetration depth are influenced by polymer-cement ratio rather than monomer ratios.

The purpose of this study is to investigate properties of unsaturated polyester mortar using the shale as find aggregates. To evaluate properties of unsaturated polyester mortar using crushed sand from Black shale, Red shale, Gray shale, we peformed the experiment according the F/B ratio of 25, 30, 35% and the volume of fine aggregate of 50, 53, 56%. The Result of this study is as follows. the strength of unsaturated polyester mortar is higher than those of river sand. The F/B ratio is higher and the volume of find aggregate is lower, the strength of unsaturated polyester mortar is higher

Precast PC represent the fastest growing segment of the polymer concrete industry. The fast curing, high strength, and low impermeability permit thin section and rapid reuse of moulds. Developed precast channel structure will be structural experiment and analysis. Also, through an example to construct will be develop the most suitable section survey and make practicable.

Permeable polymer concrete has a lot of internal voids, which has more excellent performance in permeability and durability than asphalt and cement concrete. Therefore, in this paper, influences of grading distribution of aggregates on the permeable polymer concrete are presented using polyester resin as binders. According to test results, it shows that compressive strength and unit weight increase with continuous grading distribution and increase of binder content, while void and permeability coefficient shows decline tendency

The purpose of this study is to ascertain the strength properties of water-permeable polymer concretes with SBR latex and redispersible polymer powder. The water-permeable polymer concretes using SBR latex and redispersible polymer powder with water-binder ratio of 29%, polymer-cement ratios of 0, 5, 10, 15 and 20% are prepared, and tested for compressive strength, tensile strength, flexural strength, water permeability. From the test results, improvements in the strength properties of the water-permeable polymer concretes due to the addition of the SBR latex and redispersible polymer powder are discussed.

The effects of polymer-cement ratio and shrinkage-reducing agent content on the durability characteristics of ultrarapid-hardening polymer-modified mortars using redispersible polymer powder are examined. As a result, the flexural and tensile strengths of the ultrarapid-hardening polymer-modified mortars using redispersible polymer powder tend to increase with increasing polymer-cement ratio, and tend to decrease with increasing shrinkage-reducing agent content. However, the compressive strength of the ultrarapid-hardening polymer-modified mortars using redispersible polymer powder decrease with increasing polymer-cement ratio and shrinkage-reducing agent content. And, water absorption and mass change of chemicals resistance of ultrarapid-hardening polymer-modified mortars using redispersible polymer powder tend to decrease with increasing polymer-cement ratio.

In this study, a polymer mortar sandwich panel (PMSP) was developed : Core was made with the polymer mortar whose compressive strength was about 840 kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$, and both facings were made with the glass fiber reinforced plastics (GFRP). The results showed that the strain energies and the ductility indices increased 16-340 times and 2-8 times, respectively, as the thicknesses of facings increased from 0.6 to 3.0mm with fixing the core thickness to constants (12-36mm). On the other hand, these values showed a tendency of decrease as the core thickness increased regardless of thickness of facings. A set of basic data for the structural analysis could be provided by investigating the correlations, within the scope of this research, between the resisting moment and the thicknesses of core and facings.

Hollow core slabs generally have not been used for a bridge slab or a parking in Korea. In this study, high performance hollow core slabs, which has been the most thick one in domestic are re-designed and examined for practical use. Flexural tests were performed on four 315mm deep hollow core slabs to investigate adaptability for high vehicle live loadings and composite action with topping concrete. The precast slabs were reinforced with 10-l/2 inch dia-strands at the lower of slab and 4-l/2 inch dia-strands at tile upper of slab, and cast with 80mm deep topping concrete. Those tested hollow core slabs showed ductile failure behaviors which were conform to the current Ultimate Strength Design Method for a span of l0m up to the live load of 1, 000 kg/$m^2$.

The cost on transmission and election of precast concrete members largely depends on the weight of them. In this study, the weight of prestressed precast beam could be reduced by control the section and prestressing force to meet the required strength on the basis of the optimum process. The top and bottom concrete stress of the section considered is required to check according to each construction step for this process. The original rectangular beam weight could be reduced up to 50~39% due to the development of a U-beams from the optimum process.

The objective of this study is to clarify the seismic capacity and the characteristics in the hysteretic behavior of RC structures with nonseismic detailing. To do this, an exterior beam-column subassemblage was selected from a 10-story RC building and 6 1/3-scale specimens were manufactured with 3 variables; ⑴ with and without slab, ⑵ upward and downward direction of anchorage for the bottom bar in beams, and ⑶ with and without hoop bars in the joint region. The test results have shown that ⑴ the existence of slab increased the strength in positive and negative moment, 25% and 62%, respectively; ⑵ the Korean practice of anchorage (downward and 25 $d_{b}$ anchorage length) caused the 8% reduction of strength and the early strength degradation when compared with the case of seismic details; and ⑶ the existence of hoop bars in the joint region does not show significant difference because the size of column is much larger than that of beam.m.

The severe shortage of the available sites in the highly developed downtown area in Korea necessitates the construction of high-rise buildings which meet the need of residence and commercial activity simultaneously. The objective of this study is to investigate the seismic performance of this type of building structures. For this purpose, two 1:12 scale 17-story reinforced concrete model structures were constructed according to the similitude law, in which the upper 15 stories have a bearing-wall system while the lower 2-story frames with infilled shear wall have two different layouts of the plan : The one has symmetric plan and the other has unsymmetric plan. Then, this model was subjected to a series of earthquake excitations. The test results show that the layout of shear wall has the negligible effect on the natural period and the base shear coefficient, but great effect on the failure mode of beam-column joint at flexible side frame.

The structural performance of a shear wall subjected to lateral loads is influenced by many factors, such as sectional shape, aspect ratio, vertical and horizontal reinforcement, lateral confinement and axial compression, etc. This experimental research is focusing to investigate the structural performance of T-shaped walls with different confining reinforcement. Experimental results show that all specimens finally failed by the crushing of the concrete in the compression zone. Although the location and content of the lateral confinement is different, the results are very similar during the negative loading direction where the flange is compressed. However, when flange is subjected to tension, the location and content of the lateral confinement results in a large difference in the structural performance of T-shaped walls. Therefore, selection of location and content of the lateral confinement would be important aspect in the design of the nonsymmetric structural walls.

It is necessary to Investigate long-term behavior of vertical members such as column and shear wall because the long-term behavior induces the serviceability problem of reinforce-concrete structures. However, the long-term behavior on shear wall has not been fully studied. Experimental works are performed to understand the time dependent behavior of shear wall, especially the effect of loading area in this research. Three different types of cross sections are adopted, i.e., 10$\times$10 cm, 10$\times$30 cm, and 10$\times$50 cm with the same loading area of 10$\times$10 cm. The creep strains were different from point to point in the section of the shear wall specimen because of the nonlinear stress distribution. The effect of the nonlinear stress distribution was larger in the specimen with the larger width.

Objectives of this study included design of head and evaluation of the pullout performance of the headed reinforcement that can be used to replace standard hooks in the building exterior beam-column joints. Results of 36 pullout tests are presented. Test variables included reinforcing bar diameters (16-25mm), embedment depth (6-7db), transverse reinforcement, and single-vs.-group pullout behavior. The square head designed had gross area of 4Ab and thickness of db. The headed reinforcement made of Dl6 bars developed pullout strengths close to the bar yield strength, but larger bars developed strengths smaller than the yield strengths. The pullout resistance increased with decreasing spacing of the transverse reinforcement. Use of column ties with 6.0-db spacing improved the pullout performance of the headed bars without causing difficulties in fabricating the specimens. The comparison of the pullout performances between the headed bars and the standard hooks revealed that strengths, stiffnesses, and ductile behaviors are about the same.

Most reinforce concrete Columns of Building structure are subjected to both axial load and biaxial bending. However, It is hard to estimate the moment capacity of biaxial bending by exact solution. Thus, columns under biaxial bending are designed by approximate methods in practice. The purpose of this study is to compare experimental result with approximate methods and exact solution by computer. Parameters of the present test are compressive strength of concrete (350, 585, 650kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$) and shape ratio of rectangular section. Ultimately, an experimental shape factor for rectangular RC column section is obtained through the test program. The shape of load contour is dominated by this shape factor obtained experimentally. So, reasonable design of RC columns subjected to both axial compression and biaxial bending depends on load contour.

Due to the tendency of increase in demolished-concrete produced by alteration and deterioration of concrete structures, recycling of those demolished-concrete is necessary to solve the exhaustion of natural aggregate, in order to save resources and protect environment, especially being want of resources in Korea. For this purpose, concrete made with the pozzolanic cement and recycled aggregate was tested for compressive and tensile strength. The pozzolanic cement was a mixture of OPC(Ordinary Portland Cement) and pozzolans such as fly ash, other siliceous materials and early rapid hardening cement(ERC). It was found that the compressive strength of the pozzolanic cement was enhanced when 0.75% of ERC was dozed, as compared with OPC mortar. It was also shown that compressive and tensile strength of concrete with recycled aggregate and pozzolanic cement were higher than those of concrete with crushed stones and OPC. It was concluded that the pozzolanic cement influenced on the increase of concrete strengths with recycled aggregate.

Chloride diffusion effect of cement paste, freezing and thawing test, carbonation of concrete specimen were carried out using inorganic coating material. According to the chloride ions diffusion test, it is elucidated that permeability and diffusion coefficient of Cl￣ ions and apparent coefficient of coated cement paste is smaller than plain cement paste. A durability of coated concrete specimen was enhanced by the experiment result of concrete carbonation and freezing thawing test.

In this research we made cement particle with the average size of 4 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ which can penetrate even minor cracks based on the theory of J. K. Michel who reported particles can penetrate the crack of width up to 3 times of maximum particle size. The inorganic crack injection materials were produced by adding superplasticizer. Physical properties of hardened slurry with JIS molds were also tested at 3, 7 and 28 days and the adhesion properties of the slurry in various process conditions were also tested at 3, 7 and 28 days. The cracked specimens which were repaired with slurries produced at various conditions were tested after 3, 7 and 28 days curing in the air and split tensile strength properties were characterized.

This paper investigates the influences of water content and viscosity agent on the bleeding of concrete. According to test results, fluidity shows decline tendency as water content decreases, and dosage of viscosity agent increases. PEO viscosity agent does not affect the air contents while, MC viscosity agent causes air loss. As for bleeding, bleeding decreases with decrease of water content. As dosage of viscosity agent increase, bleeding decreases, regardless of viscosity kinds. It is thought that viscosity agents have the favorable effect of reducing bleeding, if fluidity and air loss are improved.

In road Pavements, it is known that cement concrete pavement has superior durability, safety compared with asphalt pavement. But in repairing pavement, cement concrete pavement is not usually applied because of the length of time while the road is interrupted when using Ordinary and Rapid-hardening Portland Cement. And Super High Early Strength Cement and Ultra Super High Early Strength Cement are not favorable for ready mixed concrete because of rapid setting time, high slump loss and other restrictions. We aim to develope special cement and concrete developing 1 day strength of over 300 kg/$\textrm{cm}^2$ to open the road within one day and workable time is maintained over 1 hour that can be used as ready mixed concrete. In this study, we produced cement using rapid-hardening cement, Hauyne clinker, anhydride gypsum and accelerator and studied on its properties. The comperssive strength was over 400 kg/$\textrm{cm}^2$ and tensile at 1 day and workable time was maintained for over 1 hour.

Opens the construction market recently, the construction industry of Korea has faced up to the barrier of globalism, and has been enforced to follow the various global standards in many aspects. Accordingly, it is expected that the test method related to the cement and concrete will be changed to conform to the international standards in Korea. Therefore, in this study, the strength tests are executed for the cement mortars, made by KS and ISO standards respectively, and then obtains such results. 1) The flow of the cement mortar according to ISO is about 8% higher ,than that of KS. 2) The flexural strength of the cement mortar according to ISO is about 10~20% higher than that of KS, and the compressive strength is about 30% higher. 3) The compressive strength relation between the cement mortars of KS and ISO may be expressed in the first-order recurrence formula as follows: Y = 1.33X - 8 In which X is the compressive strength(kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$) of the mortar according to KS and Y is the compressive strength(kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$) of the mortar according to ISO.

Ultrasonic pulse velocity(UPV) is a useful tool for examining the property of early-age mortar or concrete. Thus, UPV has been used for a long time to characterize setting and hardening of cementitious materials. In this study, in order to investigate the characteristics of setting for mortar, UPV was measured using automatic monitoring system up to 3 days after casting. Test results show that UPV of high water to binder ratio(w/b) mortar remained constant at the beginning of hydration and then abruptly began to increase. However, UPV of low w/b mortar gradually increase due to setting retard caused by use of superplasticizer. Furthermore, the development of UPV for mortar with fly ash is slower than that of mortar without fly ash. It was concluded that the property change of mortar or concrete, such as setting and hardening can be assessed by monitoring of UPV.

Shrinkage during the curing and drying of concrete is unavoidable and results in many cracks. Shrinkage strips reduce effectively shrinkage stresses and minimize shrinkage cracks by being left open for a certain time during construction allow a significant part of the shrinkage to occur without inducing stresses. This study verifies the effectiveness of shrinkage strips and provides the guide for construction of such strips.

There are only a few tests to ensure concrete quality before placing in domestic situ; One is slump test for workability, the other is air content test for durability, the concrete compressive strength which is one of important factors to influence on concrete Quality has been tested after 28 days placing. Methods on early judgement of concrete strength have been introduced for concrete quality management, but such methods are time consuming, expensive, and required special expertise. Therefore, these have difficulty in situ application for concrete management. This study aimed at reviewing application of estimated equation of compressive strength as means for ready-mixed concrete, making an estimated equation which enables to estimate 28 days compressive strength by using regression formula analysis on basis of mixing designs of ready mixed concrete and results of compressive strength.

Nowadays, like any other areas we have asked that the concrete would get more and more properties to increase there performance. So, in this research we are intended to develop the Photocatalytic Concrete which is one of the High Performance Concrete with waste gas reduction and self-cleaning. The fundamental phenomena of the Photocatalytic Concrete were observed by the residue water-weight, SEM, flow and surface hardness(Pencil tester). As a result of this study, the Photocatalytic Concrete used Photocatalytic powder, OPC admixture and other materials can obtain its properties, also photocatalytic efficiency. Last of all, we are convinced of the Photocatalytic Concrete possibility and make an effort to develop its properties added a various study.

Recently, we are facing with the trend of demanding high durability concrete for creek structures. When creek structures are deteriorated, it is very difficult to repair them. The objective of this paper is to develop a mixing model for high durability creek concrete having 300kg/$\textrm{cm}^2$ compressive strength. According to the result of durability experiment, high durability concrete for creek structures has high resistance of air permeability, absorption, chloride diffusion, and chemical attack.

Recently, self-compacting concrete is applied in order to achieve workability improvement and rationalization in construction. But self-compacting concrete using viscosity agent has a difficulty in practical use because viscosity agent is invested small quantity and by man-power. Therefore in this paper we have been focused on the development and practical use of self-compacting concrete by hydraulic composition containing the segregation-reducing agent. According to mix variable, we find out right quantity of water, binder and rate of admixture replacement, and also we find out the optimum mix proportion. In the result, self-compacting concrete by hydraulic composition containing the segregation reducing agent gave satisfaction with standard and its demand will increase in the future.

The utilization of metakaolin as a pozzolanic material for mortar and concrete has received considerable attention in recent years. This paper estimates the fundamental properties of metakaolin as a pozzolanic material in view of fluidity and compressive strength of cement paste and mortar in comparison of silica fume, fly ash and slag. The results show that in order to obtain the same initial fluidity, metakaolin needs higher dosage of PNS superplasticizer than fly ash and slag, however, less dosage than silica fume. In view of compressive strength of mortar, metakaolin exhibits much higher compressive strength than fly ash and slag, and similar compressive strength with silica-fume when 10 % of cement is replaced with a pozzolanic material.

This paper investigates the properties of high fluidity concrete incorporating lime stone powder and fly ash. Lime stone powder(LSP) and fly ash(FA) contents are varied with. According to test results, as LSP and FA contents increase, fluidity, air content and placeability shows a declining tendency. For the temperature history, both LSP and FA have favorable effects on reducing hydration heat, moreover, LSP reduces hydration heat more than FA. LSP shows undesirable strength loss as its content increases. FA also decreases the strength at early age, but it enhances later age strength. Accordingly LSP is expected to improve the quality at fresh concrete and reduce hydration heat, while it causes strength loss.

This paper presents the results of field application test on the manufacturing of high fluidity concrete by applying flowing methods with segregation reducing type superplasticizer. Base concrete is made with 20% of fly ash, which is flowed during the transportation. According to test results, fluidity, placeability and segregation reducing performance meet the range of high fluidity concrete after flowing, while air loss occurs due to fly ash. There are no noticeable differences in compressive strengths between non-compacting and compacting methods. According to non-destructive tests with rebound and core strength test, we cannot detect any differences in strength according to the height in the structures.

SRC pier at KTE 6-1 construction area is a very important structure. Precise control of quality is needed. This pier has 3.50m$\times$3.73m section and 38.20m length. So this structure must be treated as mass concrete and thermal crack caused by hydration heat should be controled. In this project belite cement concrete is used to control the thermal crack. As a result of adapting belite cement concrete perfect control is achieved. Finally, hydration heat FEM analysis of horizontal element is executed for Ordinary Portland Cement concrete and belite cement concrete. In comparison of two results, it is confirmed that using low heat portland cement concrete is necessary.

Recently, concrete structures have become larger and higher and are demanding high performance concrete with lower heat to prevent thermal cracking, far greater workability, high strength and durability, Application of low heat portland(Type IV) cement for the high performance concrete is the best solution to satisfied those requirements. Here are explained the effect on the properties of high flowing concrete using low heat portland cement by material and mixing variations. Variables for sensitivity test were selected items like finess modulus of aggregates, particle size of limestone powder, unit water, superplasticizer, viscosity agent and concrete temperature. The results of this study were be applied to slurry wall of #215 and #216 of underground LNG tank in Inchon.

This study analyzed the influence of paste fluidity and vibration time for fundamental properties of porous concrete. Results of this study were shown as follows; 1) Even if target void ratio is same, void ratio and compressive strength of porous concrete is different according to w/c, paste flow and vibration time. So, In case of target void ratio, we must consider the influence of w/c, paste flow, and vibration time. 2) Though w/c and vibration time are same, as paste flow increase, all void ratio, continuous void ratio, and compressive strength decrease and difference between upper and lower void ratio increase. 3) Though w/c and paste flow are same, as vibration time increase, all void ratio and continuous void ratio decrease and difference between upper and lower void ratio increase. Also, compressive strength increase by 10 seconds and decease after 10 seconds. 4) As types of superplasticizer is different, all void ratio, continuous void ratio, and compressive strength are different. So, we must give consideration to paste fluidity and vibration time in order that increase of strength of porous concrete and distribution of uniform void.

This paper investigates the influence of fine aggregates on bleeding of concrete. According to test results, as water content decreases, crushed sand content increases, fluidity shows decline tendency. As for aggregates kinds, concrete using sea sand shows most fluidity loss among the tested results. Compressive strength gains highly when crushed sand is used. As for bleeding of concrete, bleeding shows decline tendency because of increasing in powder content and filling effect of voids. Bleeding amount is in a decreasing order of magnitude for concretes made with the following aggregates: sea sand, river sand, and crushed sand. Accordingly, crushed sand mixed with river sand and sea sand with certain proportion enable to reduce bleeding and enhance strength.

In this paper, the crack properties of steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) structures for environment by experimental and analytical methods are discussed. The major role played by the steel fiber occurs in the post-cracking zone, in which the fibers bridge across the cracked matrix. Because of its improved ability to break crack, SFRC has better crack properties than that of reinforced concrete (RC). Crack properties are influenced by longitudinal reinforcement ratio, volume and type of steel fiber, strength of concrete.

Recently in abroad, structural synthetic fiber developed, has been studied extensively as a substitute for steel fiber due to its properties such as corrosion-resistance, low density, good pumping, and in-place safety, etc. In this study, we conducted pull-out test, for seven different geometries of structural synthetic fibers and obtained optimum geometry for structural synthetic fiber which fully utilizes matrix anchoring without revealing fiber fracturing. According to pull-out test results, it was found that crimped type structural synthetic fiber give significant improvement in the interface toughness(roll-out enemy) and pull-out load.

Fiber reinforced shotcrete(FRS) is widely used in tunnel linings, which strengthen the rock surface and reduce the loosening of the rock strata. The advantages of FRS in tunnel linings are the unsusceptibility to crack, the benefit of shotcrete strength, and the superiority of toughness. In this study, the several evaluation methods of FRS toughness were investgated experimentally, which included the ASTM beam test, EFNARC square panel test and RTA round panel test. Especially, it was examined that the round panel test could fulfill the toughness evaluation of FRS.

Extradosed PSC Box bridges, newly emerging type of structures in construction market, have a characteristic in that external tendons are used for strengthening PSC Box girder like stay cables in cable stayed bridges. In this study, a series of constructions stage analysis procedure, including initial shape analysis, backward analysis and forward analysis, have been performed in order to investigate long-term behavior of extradosed PSC box bridges, using PCCAP-a computer program for time-dependent stage analysis of PSC cable stayed bridges. CEB-FIP 1978 model was used for the consideration of time-dependent effect of concrete material. Showing the validity of the analysis results with RM SPACE FRAME, it has been confirmd that time-dependent effects become less consequential as the stiffness of girder becomes larger.

This study deals with cracking control of concrete deck in steel-concrete composite bridges according to the concrete slab casting sequences. In correlation studies between casting sequences, time dependent effects of concrete creep and shrinkage are implemented in the analytical model. Finally, the methods of cracking control in terms of concrete slump and relative humidity are suggested to prevent early transverse cracking of concrete slab.

Abutments in Kumdang bridge are massive concrete structures of which total height is l0m, length is 30m, and width is 7m. Therefore, there is every probability that early age thermal cracking such as hydration heat occur. We measure heat of hydration, strains of rebar, and stresses of concrete abutment during construction. Using analysis of measuring data, we examine thermal stresses, and make use of results as method which control thermal cracking. Finally, we develope thermal stress analysis program which have pre/post processor to be easy of accessing and the usefulness of that is estimated through comparison of results.

As many studies have performed to reduce thermal cracking in mass concrete, it is already prepared against thermal cracking, we can find many plans against thermal cracking in several reference book. But it needs practical guidelines to be available in construction site. In this study to establish control method of thermal cracking in mass concrete, tests which have factors of placing thickness and curing method of concrete are performed.

This Paper Presents field application test results of mass concrete using super retarding agent. The field test was carried out at mat foundation(thickness 1m) of newly constructed information center of Chongju university. Placing lift composed of 2 layers, and each layer is 50cm. Fly ash and flowing method is also applied. Difference of setting time of concrete between with super retarding agent and without super retarding agent is considered. Concrete without super retarding agent is placed at upper layer and with super retarding agent at lower layer According to test results, the reducing method of hydration heat considering difference of setting time with super retarding agent can reduce the highest temperature about 3~4$^{\circ}C$, and delay the peak time about 3~4days. Compressive strength using super retarding agent is somewhat higher than that of normal concrete. Accordingly, super retarding agent does not affect the strength development.

The thermal crack in mass concrete is mainly due to the difference of concrete temperature, which is generated by hydration heat of cement. As the thickness of mat foundation increases, the difference of temperature becomes bigger. The purpose of this study is to estimate the optimum placing depth. The temperature of real mat foundation was observed and the thermal analysis by Finite Element Method was executed. Finally, the crack index according to the placing depth was estimated.

In order to estimate thermal cracking in mass concrete and to decide the removal time of the forms outside the concrete structures in wintertime, temperature measurement is indispensible. Until now, the measurement system employs thermocouple type. In this paper, we introduce economical and accurate NTC(Negative Temperature Coefficient) ceramic type measurement system. In principle, NTC ceramic type sensor is very sensitive in the range -20~15$0^{\circ}C$. In this range, the signal change is so large that the sensor needs less amplification than thermocouple. Therefore, not only the sensor itself is inexpensive but also the system is too. In this experiments the temperature of the NTC system are identical to those of thermocouple. In conclusion, inexpensive NTC thermistor system is very adequate to the temperature measurement during concrete curing.

Due to the recent economic growth and the subsequent increase in demand of electricity, the construction of underground transmission line is also on the rise. Especially, in the metropolitan area, we have much obstruction in laying the line to the central district because of difficulties in procurement of construction land and the increase in the construction cost. Therefore, the necessity of increasing the capacity of transmission line has been suggested. In order to increase the capacity, the electric voltage and current intensity in size-limited lines should be also increased. But, eventually, it leads to the generation of unnecessary heat and the heat radiates through insulation cables and backfill concrete. So we need to develop the material that has good heat radiation characteristics. In this study, we developed and tested backfill concrete that can be a substitute for previously used backfill sand.

In order to control hydration heat in mass concrete, pipe cooling method has been widely used. However, open pipe cooling system cannot be applied to the mass concrete structures when cooling water supply is difficult. To control hydration heat of high strength mass foundation, closed loop pipe cooling system was developed to solve the cooling water supply. This paper reports the performance result of hydration heat control with closed loop pipe cooling system.

The hydration of cement paste occurs when the cement is mixed with water. During the hydration, hydration heat causes the thermal stress depending on the size of concrete and the cement content. Especially in the high-strength concrete, we must give care to the concrete due to its large cement content. In this study, conduction calorimeter and concrete insulation hydration heat meter were used to investigate the hydration heat characteristics of cement and concrete. To reduce hydration heat of high-strength concrete, several types of replacement of fly-ash and blast-furnace slag powder were used in this experiment.

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.

In this paper a large scale direct tension test of plain concrete is represented. Two independently controlled actuators were used to ensure a homogeneous tensile field and to avoid secondary flexural stresses. Fracture energies evaluated by a classical prediction equation and this test are compared. The result indicated that the classical prediction equation is not adequate to predict the fracture energy of large sized specimens. From this test, it was determined that the fracture energy obtained from large scale direct tension tests is significantly higher than the one obtained in wedge splitting tests on laboratory sized specimens. But the tensile strength was about half the value determined from splitting tensile strength test with cylindrical specimens.

In this study, crushed sand is blended with river sand and sea sand, to investigate the quality change of antiwashout underwater concrete with variation of blend ratio of crushed sand(0%, 20%, 40%, 60%, 80%, 100%). To see experiment conclusion, the more blend ratio of crushed sand increases, the more unit weight increases. Because the for that specific gravity of crushed sand is higher comparatively than that of river sand and sea sand. Higher compressive strength is measured following the order of river sand, crushed sand, sea sand regardless of age and casting-curing condition. Except for case of using river sand, blend ratio of 40% is appeared on most compressive strength. So the optimum blend ratio of crushed sand is 40% from the view point of compressive strength.

In recent years, the construction methods of precast prestressed concrete beam bridges by using tendon have been increasingly proposed. The properties of flexural tensile strength between precast prestressed concrete beam and cast-in-place concrete is an important factor that affects the structural performance. This paper aims at evaluating the tensile strength between old and new concrete. Tensile strength gain, with age after placing new concrete was evaluated. Test results show that the tensile strength between old and new concrete is much smaller than that of monolithic concrete. Also, it is shown that the curing condition of concrete has the tremendous effect on tensile strength.

In many countries a considerable amount of demolition wastes is generated and wastes concrete constitutes a significant proportion of the construction waste. Therefore, the necessity for the use of recycled aggregate in concrete arise and the reuse of a waste concrete may solve the problems of environmental pollution and shortage of natural aggregate. The Purpose of the present study is to investigate the effects of the recycled aggregate on the compressive strength, the permeability and the air-void system.

The paper investigates the relationships between dynamic elastic modulus and static elastic modulus or compressive strength according to curing temperature, aging, and cement type. Based on this investigation, the new model equations are proposed. Impact echo method estimates the resonant frequency of specimens and uniaxial compression test measures the static elastic modulus and compressive strength. Type I and V cement concretes, which have the water-cement ratios of 0.40 and 0.50, are cured under the isothermal curing temperature of 10, 23, and 50 $^{\circ}C$. Cement type and aging have no large influence on the relationship between dynamic and static elastic modulus, but the ratio of dynamic and static elastic modulus comes close to 1 as temperature increases. Initial chord elastic modulus, which is calculated at lower strain level of stress-strain curve, has the similar value to dynamic elastic modulus. The relationship between dynamic elastic modulus and compressive strength has the same tendency as the relationship between dynamic and static elastic modulus. The proposed relationship equations between dynamic elastic modulus and static elastic modulus or compressive strength properly estimates the variation of relationships according to cement type, temperature, and aging.

This paper presents the procedure to find the hysteresis loop of RC member using a modified strut-and-tie model. The forces and displacements at critical points, that are initial yielding point, target displacement point, unloading elastic limit, and reloading point after pinching, are investigated with the strut-and-tie models. Using bond-slip relationship, the elastic behavior of tie element is determined. The plastic flow behavior after flexural yielding is expressed by changing the location of longitudinal strut. Determination of pinching effect completes the initial hysteresis loop, assuming that the behavior of the opposite direction is symmetrical form.

A great level of strength and deformability on compressive zone of RC wall is essentially required when subjected to high axial and in-plane lateral loading due to earthquakes. One of the best ways to handle this situation is to provide the confinement effectiveness to the compressive zone by reinforcing steel. For this a series of design charts were constructed to evaluate the confinement effectiveness for a given steel configuration in accordance with a well-known model and part of them are presented in this paper. Using the chart, designers can choose a desirable steel arrangement in flexural compressive zone of RC walls for a prescribed confinement factor.

Three-sided concrete culverts can be used to replace short span bridges and multiple sections(barrels) of four-sided concrete box culverts. ASTM Standards do not specify designs for four-sided concrete box culverts with span lengths exceeding 3.6m(12ft) nor do they discuss the three-sided concrete culverts. This paper describes the analysis and design of three-sided flat-top Precast reinforced concrete culverts with span length or 4m(14ft). Both AASHTO and Korean specifications were used to compare the main reinforcing steel. It is shown that the related provisions of Korean specifications result in more conservative design than those of AASHTO specifications.

Even though structural performance evaluation techniques for reinforced concrete structures have been improved, there are still many problems in the evaluation of structural performance for underground structures which interacts with surrounding soils. Since experimental evaluation of underground RC structures considering the interaction with the surrounding soil medium is quite difficult to be simulated, the evaluation for underground RC structures using an analytical method can be applied very usefully, For underground structures interacted with surrounding soils, it is important to consider path-dependent RC constitutive model, soil constitutive model, and interface model between structure and soil, simultaneously. In this paper, an elastoplastic interface model which consider thickness was proposed and importance of interface model is discussed. The effects of stiffness of structures to entire underground RC system are investigated through numerical experiment for underground RC structure for different reinforcement ratios and thickness of interfaces.

This paper is to study the effect of longitudinal reinforcement ratios and axial deformation on the frame analysis in reinforced concrete(RC) columns and to investigate the effect of confined concrete core, the length-width ratio and longitudinal steel ratios on frame analysis in Concrete-Filled steel Tubular(CFT) columns. An equation if derived to evaluate the modulus of elasticity for core concrete. The 34 reference data have been collected for the purpose and are processed by the mean of a multiple regression analysis technique. The equation and longitudinal reinforcement ratios was applied to RC columns for structural analysis. Then, the difference of beam moment was identified. In general, the results of analysis was indicated reasonable differences in beam moment, in case of longitudinal reinforcement ratios applied to RC columns when compared with the plain concrete columns. In CFT columns the equation was also applied in order to the effect of confined concrete core on structural analysis. Beam moment was increased as volumetric ratio of lateral steel was decreased. The effect of longitudinal steel ratios was investigated in CFT columns and was confirmed beam moment variety. The result was appeared reasonable difference in beam moment as longitudinal steel was increased.

The RC beams subjected to bending and shear are an important substructure. After flexural cracking, the internal stress state in the beam could not be explained by the classical beam theory. In this study the internal force state factor is introduced to explain the stress state change in the RC beams. The internal force state factor of uniform load was expanded by superposition method using infernal force state factor of point load. As the load types change, the operator that would be calculated the internal force state factor was proposed.

In recent years, the research and development about the new material proceed rapidly and actively in the building industry. As building structures become bigger, higher and more specialized, so does the demand for material with higher strength. In the future, we will need to research repair and rehabilitation to make high strength concrete mixed steel fibrous building safe. The carbon fiber reinforced plastic bonding method is widely used in reinforcing the existing concrete structure among the various methods. The repair of initiate loaded reinforced high-strength concrete beams mixed steel fibrous with epoxy bonded Carbon Fiber Sheets(CFS) was investigated experimentally. The CFS thickness and length were varied to assess the peel failure at the curtailment of CFS, The behaviour of the repaired beams was represented by load-longitudinal steel strain relation and failure modes were discussed. The test results indicate that CFS is very effective for strengthening the demand beams and controlling deflections of reinforced high strength concrete beams mixed steel fibrous happen diagonal crack, the increase in the number of CFS layers over two layers didn't effect the increase in the strength of beams.

We examined the silicate-based material to develop the surface-treatment agent, which would be used to restore performance of the deteriorated concrete and to inhibit corrosion of the reinforcing bar. As a part of the study, we carried out experiments of the penetration and strengthening properties of concrete treated by the considering agent. The variables of experiment, were the type of silicates, the ratio of distilled water-silicate, the usage of surface-strengthening material, and the usage of biochemical material. The penetrating ability of concrete is assessed by viscosity and surface tension. Also assessments of strengthening effects of concrete are performed on compressive strength, absorption, and water permeability tests.

With difference to strengthening which could be evaluated structural efficiency, it is hard to do quantitative repair efficiency evaluation achieved compressive strength test or appearance investigation. In this paper, chloride ion penetration test is exacted to core specimens picked from repaired structure for quantitative repair evaluation. The result of experimentation shows repair efficiency quantitatively by means of difference between penetration amount of chloride ion for repaired and unrepaired core specimens.

The Fibre-optic Bragg grating (FBG) sensor is broadly accepted as a structural health monitoring device for Fibre reinforced plastic (FRP) materials by either embedding into or bonding onto the structures. The accuracy of the strain measured by using the FBG sensor is highly dependent on the bonding characteristics among the bare optical fibre, protective coating, adhesive layer and host material. In general, the signal extracted from the embedded FBG sensor should reflect the straining condition of the host structure. This paper presents a theoretical model to evaluate the differential strains between the bare fibre and host material with different adhesive thickness and modulus of the protective coating of the embedded FBG sensor.

This study discusses the flexural performance of rehabilitated composite sections, consisting originally of R/C beams and subsequently strengthened by, Hybrid Fiber Reinforced Polymers(FRPs) and adhesives. Experimentations were peformed with 8 specimens to compare the rehabilitated effect of the length of FRPs, 2plies of FRPs, and 3plies of FRPs. The results show that the increase of the FRP strengthening length is effective on the flexural capacity and strength. Also, R.C beams retrofitted with hybrid FRPs are more effective on the increase of flexural capacity, strength, stiffness, and ductility than with a single kind of FRPs.

The flexural behavior of a strengthened beam that is a reinforced concrete beam with externally bonded carbon fiber sheets, is theoretically and experimentally investigated. A rectangular beam having a width of 20cm depth of 30cm and effective depth of 25cm is chosen. In order to have a variety of beams analyzed, three reinforcement ratios are chosen for the analysis: 1)$\frac{1}{2}$$\rho$$_{max}$, which is the most suitable reinforcement ratio for deflection consideration and the highest reinforcement ratio for practical designing beams as well; 2)$\rho$$_{max}$, which is the lowest reinforcement ratio for design purposes; and 3)the reinforcement ratio halfway from 1) and 2). Carbon fiber sheets with width of 15cm are externally bonded at the bottom fiber of the beam. The effect of the amount of carbon fiber sheets varying from 1 to 4 plies on the flexural capacity of the strengthened beam are also examined. Yield loads, ultimate loads, and flexural rigidities of the strengthened beam from the experimental results are composed with theoretical ones.nes.

In this paper, rust-protection performance of concrete using ground granulated blast-furnace slag are discussed. 4 kinds of W/B in combination with 3 kinds of replacement ratio of ground granulated blast-furnace slag and 2 kinds of chloride ion contents of are selected as experimental parameters. According to the experimental results, as the replacement ratio of ground granulated blast-furnace slag is increased, the corrosion area of steel bar tends to be decreased. However, as the autoclave cycle and chloride ion contents are increased, the corrosion area of steel bar is increased. In conclusion, when the replacement ratio of ground granulated blast-furnace slag is 50%, the strength and rust-protection performance appear to be most excellent.

When fresh concrete is exposed to low temperature, the concrete may suffer frost damage due to freezing at early ages and strength development may be delayed. One of the solution methods for resolving these problems is to reduce freezing temperature of concrete by the use of chemical admixture called Accelerators for freezing resistance. In this study, we investigate the effect on strength development of cement mortar using accelerators for freezing resistance with the variance curing condition. As the result of this study, the mortar using accelerators for freezing resistance show that continuously strength development in curing condition of -5$^{\circ}C$. And compressive strength under the variance temperature condition was higher than fixed temperature condition in same maturity.

Recently long-span bridges, such as Kwang-Ahn Grand bridge, Seo-Hae Grand Bridge, Young-Jong Grand Bridge, etc, have been designed and constructed near the shore. It needs to maintain the durability of marine concrete structures which are exposed to severe chloride environments. It is well known that corrosion of reinforcement steels in concrete structure is the most important cause for the durability of concrete structure which can be controlled by systematic preparatory corrosion protection works for economic and safe infrastructures. Various corrosion protection systems have been used for the corrosion protection of reinforcement steels from detrimental chemical components such as chloride, sulphate and etc. Since chloride can be penetrated into concrete in a variety way, an effective method has to be adopted by taking into full economical aspects and technical data of each protection system. The objective of this experimental study is to investigate the corrosion behavior of reinforcing steel in laboratory concrete specimens which are exposed to cyclic wet and dry saltwater, and then to develop pertinent corrosion protection system, such as corrosion inhibitors and cathodic protection for reinforced concrete bridges exposed to chloride environment. Resistance of various corrosion inhibitors and impressed current system have been experimentally evaluated under severe environmental conditions, and thus effective corrosion protection systems could have been Practically developed for future concrete construction.

The corrosion monitoring methods of reinforcing steel in concrete are the various methods such as half cell potential method, galvanic current method, resistivity method, polarization resistance method, AC impedance method and etc. In this study, the corrosion monitoring methods of reinforcing steel in concrete were investigated for the test specimens using corrosion inhibitors, zinc-mortar, zinc-plate, respectively. For this purpose, the accelerated corrosion tests for reinforcing steel were conducted according to the periodic cycles(140 days) of wetting($65^{\circ}C$, 90% R.H.) and drying period(15$^{\circ}C$ , 65% R.H.) for the test specimens. As a result, it can be concluded from the test that half cell potential and galvanic current method as monitoring techniques for corrosion were found to be relatively reliable and easily usable method in the field.

It is possible for concrete using sea sand to contain chloride ion as well as cation such as Na$^{+}$and $K^{+}$ during mixing process. It is known that some cations such as Na$^{+}$and $K^{+}$ remain in pore solution without binding In this study, therefore, we intend to inspect the behavior of cations in cement paste as well as NaCl, CaCl$_2$ and KCI through analysis of pore solution extracted from cement paste with high pressure vessel. As a result, increase of alkali ions by adding sea sand and admixtures to the fresh concrete means use of the cement contained high alkali contents. In this case, alkali ions in pore solution can decrease durability of cement products causing alkali-aggregate reaction or accelerated carbonation. So it needs to be studied.studied.

Carbonation of concrete decreases durability of RC structures due to failure of passive film of rebar. Therefore, expecting carbonation depth is a governing parameter of service life prediction for RC structures. This study attempt to estimate carbonation depth quantitatively by using equivalent effective diffusion coefficient of $CO_2$.

Load at steel beam column joints transfered by beam depend on bond strength between concrete and steel tube. But it is different to transmit a load efficiently in the established concrete filled steel tubular column. Therefore, shear-connector is demanded for transfering loads efficiently. An ascent of bond stress and a transmission of load after debonding are expected by a reinforcement of shear-connector

A transmission of load that is transmitted by beam in steel beam-column joint depends on bond strength between concrete and steel tube. But it is different to transmit a load efficiently in the established concrete filled steel tubular column. Therefore, shear-connector is demanded for a reinforcement about a transmission of load. An ascent of bond stress and a transmission of load after debonding are expected by a reinforcement of shear-connector.

In order to apply a precast deck to continuous composite bridges, several experiments and analytical studies were performed. Design criterion for crack prevention should be such that it does not permit tension at the joint to occur when the service loads are applied. Details of the shear pocket for studs and material properties of filler in the pocket and the joint are very important considerations in design and construction. Combination of longitudinal prestressing methods, internal tendon and prestressing after shear connection, should be used for prevention of cracking in continuous precast deck bridges. Design guides for the determination of prestressing force are suggested.

The reinforced concrete(RC) beam is developed cracks because the compression strength of concrete is strong but the tensile strength is weak. The structural strength and stiffness is decreased by reduction of tension resistance capacity of concrete due to the developed cracks. Using the fiber reinforced concrete that is increased the flexural strength and tensile strength at tensile part can enhance the strength and stiffness of concrete structure and decrease the tensile flexural cracks and deflection. Therefore, The reinforced concrete used the fiber reinforced concrete at tensile part ensure the safety and serviceability of the concrete structures. In this study, analytical model of a dual concrete beam that is composed of the normal strength concrete at compression part and the high tensile strength concrete at tensile part is developed by using the equilibrium condition of forces and compatibility condition of strains and is parted into elastic analytical model and ultimate analytical model. Three group of test beam that is formed of one reinforced concrete beam and two dual concrete beams for each steel reinforcement ratio is tested to examine the flexural behavior of dual concrete beams. The comparative study of total nine test beams is shown that the ultimate load of a dual concrete beams relative to the reinforced concrete beams have an increase in approximately 30%. In addition, the initial flexural rigidity, as used here, refer to the slope of load-deflection curves in elastic state is increased and the deflection is decreased.

The structural characteristics of concrete-filled glass fiber reinforced polymer tubes were studied. The concept of concrete-filled composite columns was introduced to overcome the corrosion problems associated with steel and concrete piles under severe environments. Other benefits of composite columns include low maintenance cost, high earthquake resistance, and long expected endurance period. Several experiments were conducted; 1) compression test for short-length composite columns, 2) uniaxial compression tests on a total of 7 columns with various slenderness ratios. Short-length columns give higher strength and ductility revealing high confinement action in concrete. Failure strengths, failure patterns, confinement effects, and stress-strains relations were analyzed for slender columns. Current study will show the feasibility of concrete-filled glass fiber reinforced polymer composite columns in corrosive environments, and will provide an experimental database for columns that are externally reinforced by multidirectional fibers.

In case of continuous steel box-girder bridges, the magnitude of the longitudinal tensile stress on concrete in internal support is larger than the tensile strength of concrete. In this paper, the parametric study was performed to present the effective magnitude of the longitudinal prestress for reducing the longitudinal tensile stress to decrease under the tensile strength of concrete. The parametric study is conducted with changing the steel box-girder section and the span length of bridge. Three dimensional finite element analyses are conducted with ABAQUS program. The behavior of the steel box-girder bridge with prestress is investigated through experimental works on a analogous steel box-girder bridge model, and their results are compared with those of analytical studies.

IN this paper, construction processes of the Precast Span Method are briefly described

This paper describes the design and construction of main Arch bridge using Ultra-high performance concrete, Ductal in the Sunyudo pedestrian bridge project. Ductal is a new family of cementing materials with remarkable properties. Its mechanical characteristics reach unique values, with compressive strength in industrial use of 180 to 230 MPa and bending tensile strength of 50 to 80 MPa. By the use of Ductal, main Arch bridge crossing the Han-river is designed to the span 120m-long with optimized $\pi$ shape section.

We can verify the issue related to the characteristics of extradosed bridge as a result of study and design endeavor.

The objective of this study is to find out the effect of Horizontal vibration on the compressive strength for 7 days and 28 days cured concrete specimens according to the kind of fine aggregates and the variation of vibration velocities, and times began to vibrate. Three kinds of fine aggregate(river sand, sea sand, crush sand), three types of vibration velocities(0.25, 0.5 0.1kine(cm/sec)), and four steps of times(0, 3, 6, 9 hours after concrete casting) were chosen as the experimental parameters in this study, the vibrations are applied for 30 minutes in each case. From this study, the variation with type of fine aggregate doesn't show tendency and the compressive strength decreases with increasing vibration velocity. When the vibration force time is more than 6 hour, It shows that compressive strength decreases under the condition of vibration velocity which the value is 0.5 kine and 1 kine, respectively.

Recently, to consider financial and constructive aspect, usage of Admixture, like Blast-Furnace Slag and Fly-Ash, are increased. Also the use of cold-weather-concrete is increased. Blast-furnace Slag, a by-product of steel industry, have many advantage, to reduce the heat of hydration, increase in ultimate strength and etc. But it also reduces early-age strength, so it is prevented from using of Blast-Furnace Slag at cold-weather-concrete. In this study, for the purpose of increasing usage of Blast-Furnace Slag at cold-weather-concrete, it is investigated the strength properties of concrete subjected to frost damage for the cause of early age curing. According to this study, if early curing is carried out before having frost damage, the strength of concrete, subjected to frost damage, is recovered. And that properties is not connected with the frost cause.

In this study, a mathematical model is established for prediction of chloride penetration in unsaturated cracked early-age concrete. The model is combined with models for thermo-hygro dynamic coupling of cement hydration, moisture transport and micro-structure development. Chloride permeability and water permeability at cracked early-age concrete specimens are evaluated using a rapid chloride permeability test and a low-pressure water permeability test, respectively. Then, a homogenization technique is introduced into the model to determine equivalent diffusion coefficient and equivalent Permeation coefficient. Increased chloride transport due to cracks at the specimen could be predicted fairly well by characterizing the cracks using proposed model. Proposed model is verified by comparing diffusion analysis results with test results.

In early-age concrete, volumetric deformations due to thermal expansion and moisture transfer are restrained by various boundary conditions, and then restraint stresses occur in proportion to developed stiffness. With increase of the age, these stresses are gradually relieved by significant relaxation behavior of early-age concrete. Therefore, it is necessary to consider the stress relaxation in order to analyze the behavior of early-age concrete more accurately. In this paper, we propose a unified algorithm which combines a relaxation model with hydration model, heat conduction model, micropore structure formation model, moisture diffusion model and mechanical properties development model and develop a finite element program based on the algorithm. The program is applied to evaluate stress development if a temperature-stress test machine (TSTM) specimen and a massive concrete structure, and then validity of the program is discussed and evaluated.

The traffic noise from automobiles have been causing so serious problems in urban areas that the study and solutions to reduce noise and air pollution have been required. In general, Portland cement concrete(PCC) pavements have the advantage of durability and superior surface friction when compared to most dense-graded asphalt. However, data collected to date generally show PCC pavements to create more noise than asphaltic surfaces. Therefore, recent research has shown some new concrete pavement textures to be worth further examination. Exposed Aggregate Pavements have also been evaluated for noise impacts. This PCC surface is accomplished by brushing the surface of the plastic concrete to expose the aggregate, increasing the macro texture. In this study, in order to manufacture Aggregate Exposed Concrete for low noise pavements, we considered the effects of retarder agents according to dosage and curing conditions. So we tried to find out relationship between textures of surface and effects of retarder.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the compressive strength properties of hardening using the unrefined fly-ash and waste lime and to offer basic data to someone for recycling waste lime Waste limes are tested that specific gravity and pH value and observed microstructure of particle with SEM. The compressive strengths of Wast lime hardening which is mixed with regular ratio according to each admixture are measured. In the results of test, The pH of wast lime is very high by pH 12.1 and specific gravity is 2.22. Compressive strengths on hardening modified waste lime and fly ash is very effective. The vest compressive strengths is show that CaCl$_2$ existed in waste lime

Concrete has a different fracture mechanism from the other materials, with the existing of FPZ at the ahead of its cracks, and represents the softening curves at the post-peak load in the load-displacement diagrams. So, it can transmit the stress at the post-peak load. This can not be understood with the traditional concept of strength, but with the theory based energy approach. For the purpose of this study is mainly used RILEM(1990 TC89-FMT) and TPM, and the concrete fracture properties have been evaluated according to the its compressive strength. The evaluated fracture properties is $G_{F}$, $a_{c}$, $K_{IC}$ , CTODc, Q etc.c.c.

Generally, according to rising of atmospheric temperature, a consistency of concrete decreases, and a slump property of concrete is changed to be large. Also, in the strength development of concrete, the strength development rate of long-term age(28day) in comparison to strength of early age(7day) and the absolute compressive strength decreases. Accordingly, in this study, experiments about quality evaluation of concrete utilizing Ordinary Portland Cement is carried out. As a result of experiments, there were a conspicuous change in slump of concrete due to temperature increase. In conclusion, the rising of atmospheric temperature was very important factor in affecting the quality fluctuation of hot weather concrete.

Electric Arc Furnace Dust (EAF Dust) Is residual dust produced during the manufacturing of metal products from heavily heated electric arc furnace. Many researches have focused on recycling and reusing EAF Dust for industrial and construction purposes. However, most of these researches were aimed at obtaining useful heavy metal powders by treating toxic metallic materials in EAF Dust. Also, few researches dealt with using EAF Dust as admixture in concrete mixture (i.e., slag dust). In this study, EAF Dust is used as admixture in concrete mixture content considering economical feasibility and construction applicability. The concrete specimens mixed with EAF Dust is then tested in compression and tension to study its strength and ductility as well as its failure mechanism. The compression and tension (by split cylinder test) test results are compared to the results from the specimens without EAF Dust to understand the chemical stability and mechanical characteristic of concrete specimens with EAF Dust. For the experiment, 6 types of admixture added concrete were studied: ⑴Combination of EAF Dust and blast-furnace slag in 1 to 1 ratio, ⑵Combination of EAF Dust and blast-furnace slag in 1 to 2 ratio, ⑶EAF Dust only, ⑷blast-furnace slag only, ⑸fly ash only, and ⑹no admixture. The experimental results show that the strength of EAF Dust added specimen has lower early age strength but higher 28 day strength when compared to other specimens. Also, the Elastic Modulus of EAF Dust is higher(28 days) than other specimens. The study results prove that EAF Dust can be used as an effective admixture in concrete for specific usages.

The effect of unbonded capping system on high strength concrete(400~600kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$), with respect to both ø10$\times$20 and ø15$\times$30cm specimens, has been investigated in accordance with ASTM C 1231 and our procedures based on the existing studies. Tests show that the ratios of test results obtained using unbonded cap to grinding system are 1.02 in both cylinder sizes. Also, based on the results of ø10$\times$20cm specimens using unbonded cap and ø15$\times$30cm specimens using grinding system, it has been proposed that the use of the former has to spread throughout whole laboratories in field.

The purpose of this study is to provide the optimum mix design of concrete to be placed at the face slab concrete in CFRD(Concrete Faced Rockfill Dam) for pumped storage power plants. The basic performance tests including compressive strength, modulus of elasticity, flexural strength and the control properties of crack including plastic shrinkage, drying shrinkage were conducted for concrete using fly ash and polypropylene fiber. From this study, the fly ash concrete represented the better results in the aspects of basic performance, control properties of crack and economy than ordinary portland cement concrete. Especially the concrete mix design containing 20% of fly ash is recommended to be applied in the construction of the face slab concrete in CFRD for pumped storage power plants.

Until now, various period formulas Pre proposed, but those of have a little difficult procedure and variation according to structural system.

Based on earlier published studies and tests, predictive equation is proposed for evaluating the flexural strength of steel fiber reinforced concrete beams. The proposed equation gave good prediction for the flexural strength of the tested beams.

This study is aimed to investigate on the structural properties(like as strength, failure mode, ductility) of beams with multiple openings reinforced with steel tube of circular. The main parameters are follows ;1)location of openings, 2)the number of opening, 3) existence of opening or not. When the locations of opening are respectively maximal moment zone, maximal shear zone, co-existence zone of moment and shear, the specimen with opening at maximal moment zone is not less than that without opening in terms of strength and ductility. The specimens with opening at shear zone and both zones are expected to carry the structural performance corresponding to beam without opening by varying the number and reinforcing method of opening.

This paper compares the moment-curvature relations of reinforced concrete columns subjected to various loading histories. A sectional analysis was proposed to predict the behavior of reinforced concrete columns. The proposed analysis predicted the real moment-curvature relations of reinforced concrete columns with good agreement. Four types of loading programs were adapted to the analysis. The analysed results indicated that the moment-curvature relations of reinforced concrete columns were strongly affected by the loading history.

This paper describes an attempt to develop a new equation to calculate deflection for reinforced concrete deep beams(a/d<2.5). The main idea incorporated with this equation is the internal force state factor($\alpha$)which is able to express global state of internal force flow in cracked reinforced concrete beams subjected to shear and bending. A new equation for deflection calculation using internal force state factor($\alpha$)provides more exact result of deflection in reinforced concrete deep beams than the equation predicted by the current code provisions.

In this study, wedge splitting tensile test(WST) using dye penetration method was carried out to investigate cracking criterion and fracture characteristics of concrete. For the this purpose, three levels of compressive strength of 180, 300 and 600 kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$ and five testing age of 1, 3, 7, 14 and 28 days were selected as test variables. The specimen was loaded in a controlled manner and then dye was inserted at the load of 40%, 70% of the presumed peak load and at the load of 90% just after peak load. The fracture process zone was measured at each load step of a specimen. Test results were compared with analytic results by linear elastic fracture mechanics(LEFM) and numerical results through fictitious crack model(FCM) and finite element method(FEM).

External Confinement of concrete in CFS enhances strength and ductility of concrete columns. This paper presents the test results on the study of reinforced concrete columns strengthened with carbon fiber sheets. The purpose of this research is to evaluate the CFS confinement characteristics of square reinforced concrete columns and the CFS efficiency. The tests were performed with different lateral reinforcement ratios, CFS reinforcement ratios and concrete strength. Test results were characterized according to maximum loads and lateral strain of CFS.

Although there are strong needs for evaluating statistical characteristics of strengthened reinforced concrete beams under flexure, many researches have been performed mostly on the mechanical properties and failure mechanisms. Different material properties and resulting reinforcing effect could alter the probabilistic values of the strengthened beams. Existing equations suggested for predicting flexural strengthened reinforced concrete beam with CFRP and steel plate are selected and best-fitting one is used in evaluating probability of failure based on Monte-Carlo method. Influential factors are statistically examined and approximate strength reduction factors are suggested. It was found that the factor is more sensitively influenced by predictive equations as well as characteristics and amounts of strengthening materials.

In this study, to increase load capacity of the reinforced concrete slab, bridge deck is reinforced with the glass fiber sheets. they are examined on the strengthen effect and the static behavior, This paper considers relation of load-displacement and strain-distance. The static behavior of the slab strengthened is represented to maximum load. Owing to that, they are examined on increasing load carrying capacity of reinforced bridge deck and strengthen effect about on the crack.

Considerable research was done to study the fatigue behavior of the reinforced concrete bridge deck which is strengthened by carbon fiber. The purpose of this experimental study is to investigate the fatigue behavior and strengthening effects of the strengthened bridge deck with grid type carbon fiber plastic. The results of this study show that the displacement and the total released energy of strengthening of bridge deck are greater than the case of unstrengthened bridge deck. By strengthening of bridge deck, applied load is so distributed on whole deck member that crack concentration is efficiently controled.

This paper deals with the experimental evaluation of the performance of R.C beams strengthened with aramid, glass and carbon fiber sheets. To evaluate the effects of FRPs on the flexural strengthening of the beams, strengthening ratio is adopted as a main variable. Seven beams were fabricated and strengthened under same tensile strength based on ultimate strength of FRPs and strengthening length. Deflection, flexural stiffness, strain of FRP, ultimate load and failure load are compared to evaluate the effects of FRPs on structural behavior of retrofitted beams. The results shows that little effects of FRPs on behavior of strengthened beams can be estimated and the fail modes are more influenced on structural behavior than that.

By the results, this study was examined effect of increasing strengthened to phase life cycles of bridge deck for fatigue loading and application of the punching shear theory of bridge deck strengthened by carbon fiber sheet.

Concrete curbing blocks have been widely used in construction of roadways because they are easy too manufacture and cheap. But recently stone curbs are taking away the role from concrete curbs, because the durability of concrete curbs is inferior to stone curbs. Especially freeze-thaw effect on concrete is the most important cause that damages concrete curbs. The aim of this study is to increase the durability of concrete curbs. The concrete curbs that have been manufactured are extremely damaged below 60 cycles of freeze-thaw, but the ones that was manufactured with admixtures that entrains air are maintaining over 87% of relative dynamic modulus.

Test results on the deterioration process of concrete under single and combined attacks of chloride penetration have been obtained. After test period of 52 weeks, it is found that the internally penetrated chloride ion contents are less in the single attacks of chloride than the combined attacks of chloride and sulfate. Both the diffusion coefficients and surface chloride concentration derived form the chloride profiles showed a time dependence. Also the performance of fly ash-blended cements was observed to be better than plain cements in retarding chloride attack. However it should be needed that improved chloride diffusion model for the combined deterioration process.

Corrosion products of reinforcement in the concrete exerts pressure to the adjacent concrete that the concrete is subject to tensile stress. If the tensile strength exceeds the tensile strength, cracks are initiated around steel and propagates through concrete cover. Cracking of the cover means that the lifetime of the structure is ended. So the amount of corrosion which introduces crack in the concrete cover is a crucial factor in the reinforcement corrosion problem. In this study, relation between internal pressure and amount of corrosion are pursued by way of corrosion experiment and finite element analysis.

The Salt attack is one of the primary factors that cause the deterioration of durability in steel reinforced concrete structure. And to depreciate the deterioration from the Salt attack in concrete structure, pozzolanic materials are used widely in recent years. In this study, experiments about the resistance of chloride infiltration of concrete according to the replacement rations of Activated Hwangtoh and various pozzolanic materials(silica fume, fly ash, blast furnace slag and non Activated/Activated Hwangtoh) are performed and the results of this study were shown as follows; 1) As the replacement ratios of Activated Hwangtoh were getting higher, the strength of concrete was increased and in case of various pozzolanic materials, strength of Activated Hwangtoh in specimen was better than that of fly ash, blast furnace slag and non Activated Hwangtoh. 2) As the replacement ratios of Activated Hwangtoh were getting higher, the resistance of chloride infiltration of concrete was increased and in case of various pozzolanic materials, silica fume is better than any other pozzolanic materials and Activated Hwangtoh was better than that of fly ash, blast furnace slag and non Activated Hwangtoh.

The chloride ion penetrating into concrete is classified as the fixed chloride ion being bound in reacting to cement hydrate and the free chloride ion having a direct effect on rebar corrosion because being in solution inside porosity of concrete. Therefore, in order to study the diffusion properties of chloride ion, it is needed to evaluate binding chloride ion in concrete. In this study, we tried to give a fundamental information on diffusion of chloride ion in concrete with mineral admixtures through analysis of micro-structure transformations in concrete and effects on binding of chloride ion in cement paste when mixed with fly-ash, blast furnace slag, silica fume etc. which are used to improve durability and permeability of concrete

Physical properties of concrete, Such as, compressive strength, permeable pore and penetration depth of chloride ion were investigated. And to investigate the effect of containing GGBF in concrete, the diffusion coefficient of chloride was measured through an electro- migration test. The diffusion coefficient of chloride was decreased with increase of replacement ratios of GGBF when compared to OPC. Relation coefficients between physical properties of concrete and diffusion coefficient of chloride were more than 0.9.

For imaging of concrete specimens using radar, principles of radar and signal processing are discussed. Experimental data obtained from radar measurement of two different concrete specimens at two different frequency bandwidths of 2~3.4 GHz, 3.4~5.8 GHz and these two frequencies are combined to show better imaging. A signal processing scheme has been implemented to visualize the concrete specimens. Through combined frequency, imaging results of concrete specimens were improved.

Mathematical basis of interpretation of data from nondestructive evaluation (NDE) methods in bridge inspection is presented. In bridge inspection with NDE methods, NDE data are not assessments. NDE data must be interpreted as condition of element. Interpretation is then assessment. Correct assessments of conditions of bridge elements depend on the accuracy and variability in test data as well as on the uncertainty of correlations between attributes (what is measured) and conditions (what is sought in the inspection). Inaccuracy and variability in test data defines the qualify or NDE test. The qualify or test itself is important, but in view of condition assessment, the significance of uncertainty in correlations of attributes and conditions must be combined. NDE methods that are accurate in their measurements may still be found to be poor methods if attributes are uncertain indicators of condition of bridge elements. This paper reports mathematical presentation of inaccuracy and variability in test data and of uncertainty in correlation of attributes to element conditions with three examples of NDE methods.

In this paper, dynamic properties of a bridge by traffic loads, is proposed as a reasonable method for the determining the impact factor. In addition, impact factors obtained from previous inspection reports were classified by the span length of the bridge, kind of the bridge and type of the bridge and adjusted the result of the impact factor by the statistical method and presented problems. Also, the determining method of the impact fatter using traffic load is proposed and compared the proposed method with the specification code. The method estimating the impact factor by the traffic loads can be efficiently concluded to the response of structure as reflecting the impact factor and saving the investigation cost. Also it is expected to use to maintenance of structures using the usual test of the bridge.

This study is to set a new standard for using of the colorimetric method through grasping the character of the colorimetric method, and measuring the chloride concentration at the place of the change of color. Also, to predict chloride concentration around rebar and time reaching limit chloride concentration through measuring the chloride concentration of concrete surface by the colorimetric method and this study presents the new program of concrete degradation and diagnosis of the durability by salt damage. First the use of the colorimetric method was examinated, second the chloride concentration through slicing concrete submerged in artificial seawater for 6 months was measured. And the chloride concentration at the place of the change of color was calculated by using colorimetric method. Finally, the cloride concentration of the concrete surface was calculated.

In 2000, Standard Design Loads for Building was changed especially in seismic load. According to the change, seismic-resisting capacity of deteriorated apartment houses has to be reestimated. This research is to propose seismic-strengthening and improving methods of structural efficiency of RC deteriorated apartment houses. The analysis models were shear-wall system(36/58/79$m^{2}$) and beam-column system(11/19/25py) which were constructed in early 1980 and didn't consider seismic load. The definite methods are addition of shear walls and lightening of load. The story-drifts of shear wall systems exceed allowable story-drifts so that two methods was applied. The story-drifts of beam-columns system satisfy allowable story-drifts, thus the latter is applied. The seismic-resisting capacity of these systems was improved by the two methods. This research will be helpful to remodel deteriorated apartment houses.

Shrinkage during the curing and drying of concrete is unavoidable and results in many cracks. Shrinkage strips reduce effectively shrinkage stresses and minimize shrinkage cracks by being left open for a certain time during construction to allow a significant part of the shrinkage to occur without inducing stresses. This study verifies the effectiveness of shrinkage strips and provides the guide for construction of such strips.

The new approach is a kind method of restoring temporary defect. Here, it is important for the defect not to occur problems of both local effect and global system. A basic concept is that it measures remaining prestress of PSC structures during the defect is restored. This study suggested new approach for measurement of remaining prestress. Two important results are obtained. First, safety problems, local stress concentration and global system, are very satisfied. Second, measurement value exists within error bound $\pm$ 1% in comparison with known value.

The applicability of the concept of IPC(Incrementally Prestressed Concrete) girder which effectively reduces the depth of the conventional prestressed girders by introducing prestress in two different stages is theoretically reviewed in this research. Expressions on top and bottom stresses resulting from different loading stages are presented. Beneficial effects of IPC girder compared with those traditional prestressed girders are evaluated by investigating the girder depth for the same span or girder span for the same girder depth. Parking structures and ware house structures which need relatively longer span and are subject to large live loads are considered in comparison. It was found that the single or double tee slab designed by IPC concept could be built upto 50% longer in its span and upto 45% less in its depth compared to those of traditionally prestressed single or double tee slabs. In addition, the amount of prestressing tendons could be reduced.

This study is to applicate IPC girder at curved bridge. This study introduces the variable(radius, $d_{ci}$, $d_{co}$, etc..) used in design IPC curved bridge. And this presents the possible radius in simple bridge and continuous bridge. For example, simple bridge that have span length is 30m, minimum possible radius is 300m. In continuous bridge, girders are arranged by sloped in $\theta$. So in this case, the bridge is under consideration that horizontality pressure in bridge pier.

The PSC bridge being built by ILM may have greater bending moment during its construction rather than after completion. When it occurs, Engineer should suggest to reduce stress-resultants than to make bigger cross-section with considering stability ,economics, and proper span-to-depth ratio. The used method is to install extruded nose at the end of girder. It substitutes the weighted segment for the light. From the reference, the stiffness of extruded nose, is 1/10 of the main girder, and the length is 60 to 70% of the length of the span, with little justification. In this study, the proper length and stiffness of the nose element is determined by the parametric study and idealizing procedure. The results about the extruded nose through the mixing of the parameter of its stiffness and length, the proper length of extruded nose is 80% of the longest span and the proper stiffenss is 13% of the bending stiffness of the superstructure and the proper length of extruded nose is 70% of the longest span and the proper stiffness is 9.5% of the bending stiffness of the superstructure.

An effective live load model for analyzing probable maximum live load effects such as moment and shear in transverse direction was developed. The main procedure of this live load model is composed of four parts, i.e., firstly, determination of the appropriate influence lines in longitudinal direction, secondly, application of the characteristics of vehicles and traffic patterns in longitudinal direction, thirdly, determination of the appropriate influence lines in transverse direction, and fourthly, application of the characteristics of vehicles and traffic patterns in transverse direction. Through this procedure, the probabilistic distributions of maximum probable load effects are deduced in the form of probability density function (PDF) and/or cumulative density function(CDF). This live load model is able to consider local or global deterioration of bridges in the structural analysis.

An effective live load model for analyzing probable maximum live load effects in longitudinal direction such as moment and shear was developed. The main procedure of this live load model is composed of two parts. Firstly, determination of the appropriate influence lines, and secondly, application of the characteristics of vehicles and traffic patterns. Through this procedure, probabilistic distributions of maximum probable load effects are deduced in the form of probability density function (PDF) or cumulative density function (CDF). The proposed live load model is not limited by bridge types(number of spans or girders) and can consider local or global deterioration of bridges in the analysis. Besides, load effects can be determined at any section without restrictions.

This Paper Presents a new model, called the “shear-friction truss model,” for slender reinforced concrete beams to derive a clear and simple equation for their ultimate shear strength. In this model, a portion of the shear strength is provided by shear reinforcement as in the traditional truss model, and the remainder by the shear-friction mechanism. Friction resistance is derived considering both geometrical configuration of the rough crack surface and material Properties. The inclined angle of diagonal strut in the traditional truss model is modified to satisfy the state of balanced failure, when both stirrups and longitudinal reinforcement yield simultaneously. The vertical component of friction resistance is added to the modified truss model to form the shear-friction truss model. Test results from published literatures are used to find the effective coefficient of concrete strength in resisting shear on inclined crack surfaces.

The use of recycled-aggregate concrete is increasing faster than the development of appropriate design recommendations. In addition, recycled-aggregate and higher compressive strengths are two of the most desired characteristics to improve the use of concrete as a construction material. The paper reports limited experimental data on the shear capacity of high-strength recycled aggregate concrete beams. Ten beams were tested to determine their diagonal cracking and ultimate shear capacities. The variable in the test program were concrete strength(300, 500 and 700kgf/$cm^{2}$), and shear span/depth ratio (a/d : 2.0, 3.0 and 4.0). Test results indicate that the ACI Building code prediction of Eq.(11-3) and (11-5) for high-strength recycled aggregate concretes are unconservative for all beams (with concrete strength 300, 500 and 700kgf/$cm^{2}$, a/d ratios 2.0, 3.0 and 4.0). But Zsutty Equation for high-strength recycled aggregate concretes is conservative for all beams. The results of the experimental investigation on the cracking patterns for beams show that the angle that the critical inclined crack makes with the horizontal axis decreases with increasing a/d.

For the shear strength prediction of reinforced concrete beams, this paper considered the bending moment effect. Experimental results of the thirty-seven reinforced concrete beams were compared with analytical results by the FA-STM, TATM and TATM considered bending moment effect. While Ratios of test results to analytical results by using the truss models does not considered the bending moment effect decreased as shear span ratio increased, those by using the proposed method considered that were almost constant regardless of the increase of the shear span ratio. Predicted results obtained from proposed method agreed well with the experimental results.

As composite materials, the addition of steel fiber in concrete significantly improves the engineering properties of structural members, notably shear strength and ductility, In this study, shear capacity evaluation method according to steel fiber contents was proposed from the literature surveys and member tests. For this, previously proposed five shear strength equation were examined and evaluated by maximum shear strength and shear capacity ratio. From the parametric study and regression analysis, following conclusion can be made; the maximum shear strength of steel fiber reinforced column will be estimated by relative shear capacity ratio.

The purpose of this experimental study is to investigate the shear behavior of high-strength concrete deep beam and to grasp the conservatism of ACI Building Code. Experimental results on 12 deep beams under two equal symmetrically placed point loads are reported. Main variables are vertical and horizontal web reinforcement and shear span-to-overall depth ratio. Test results indicated that web reinforcement dose not affect on formation of inclined cracks but shear span-to-overall depth ratio affect on inclined shear cracks and ultimate shear strength. Addition of vertical web reinforcement improves ultimate shear strength of H.S.C. deep beams that shear span-to-overall depth ratio is 1.0. Considerable increase in ultimate shear strength of H.S.C. deep beams with increasing horizontal web reinforcement that shear span-to-overall depth ratio is 0.5. Especially with increasing concrete strength($f_{ck}$) the ACI code is conservative in estamating the ultimate shear strength of deep beams.

The objective of this experimental study was to understand the effect of horizontal shear bar on the shear behavior of R.C. deep beams. Therefore, in the test program, the horizontal shear bar ratio($\rho_{sh}$) and shear span-to-overall depth ratio(a/h) are considered as two main variables. Test results indicate that for deep beams with a/h equal to 1.0, horizontal shear bar is less efficient in restricting the diagonal crack width development and enhancing the ultimate shear strength. So, it can be concluded that shear resistance of horizontal shear bar is related to a/h rather than clear span-to-effective depth ratio($l_{n}$/d) recommended in ACI code.

This paper presents the validities of the removal time of side forms considering the relationship between rebound number of P type schmidt hammer and compressive strength. According to test results, compressive strength of 40% of W/C at 12 hours shows 16kgf/$cm^{2}$ and 50% of W/C at 15 hours, 13kgf/$cm^{2}$. Rebound number at 9 hours after casting shows 13 and 9 (W/C 40% and W/C 50%). According to the regression analysis, rebound number of P type schmidt hammer to gain 50kgf/$cm^{2}$ of is estimated 20.1. It is thought that desirable rebound number of P type schmidt hammer to gain 50kgf/$cm^{2}$ is determined 25 considering safety factor.

This paper investigates insulating effects and strength properties of concrete under cold climate carrying out the experiment with insulating forms on the slab member. According to test results, under $-10^{\circ}C$ of outer temperature, the surface of concrete exposed to outer temperature goes below zero after 10hours since exposed. And, the surface of concrete covered with vinyl and blanket goes below zero after 42hours. However, the surface of concrete covered with insulating materials such as polystyrene foam does not drop below zero until 55hours. And, according to coring sample strength test, compressive strength cured with insulation shows much higher strength than no insulation curing condition and vinyl and blanket curing condition.

The purpose of this study is to prepare the basic data for the development of building board with expanded perlite. Each paste was mixed with four levels of water cement ratio(30, 40, 50, 60%), and expanded perlite was substituted with four levels of substitutive ratio(20, 40, 60, 80%) for the each paste. The physical property, compressive strength, bending strength and thermal conductivity of each cement composite which is made through previously described method were analyzed and the result was as follow. In the case of 80 percent substitutive ratio, the cement composite had a mechanical defect which was resulted from lack of paste content. In the case of 40 and 60percent substitutive ratio, the cement composite had sufficient strength, light weight and low thermal conductivity for application to fire resisting board.

Recently great efforts and investment have been made in order to achieve economical production by applying new methods like minimization of man-Power into construction field. This paper describe the performance of water purification, to which living organisms can adapt, and the physical properties of porous concrete with continuous voids. Although conventional concrete has been regarded as a destroyer of nature, water and air can pass freely through concrete when it is made porous by forming continuous voids. this not only enables plants to vegetables, but also makes it possible for microscopic animals and plants, including bacteria, to attach to and inhabit uneven surface as well as internal voids when the concrete is provided in a natural water area or waterside area. As a result, Porous concrete using recycled aggregate improved the performance of water purification.

As the notion of environment protection changes throughout the world, construction engineers, as part of the effort to resolve environmental problems, have been actively doing research on environmental friendly porous concrete using large and non-uniform aggregate. Concrete having a great deal of continuous porosity enable water and air to pass freely through firmly hardened material, allowing necessary nutrients to reach roots of vegetation, thereby sustaining them. It is possible to prevent the exhaustion of natural resources by recycling waste concrete and industrial by-products, to reduce damage caused by the destruction of nature through effective management of natural resources, to preserve the natural environment and vegetation in urban areas by activating the soil, protecting the underground ecology system, and growing garden plants through the application of environmentally friendly concrete.

This paper reports the relation of concrete setting characteristic and lateral pressure in mass concrete wall such as side wall of LNG underground storage tank. In order to estimate the lateral pressure, initial setting time of low heat cement concrete with type of mineral admixture was measured for three concrete mixtures(W/P=41.6%) containing limestone powder, fly ash, and slag powder. As a result, the lateral pressure of the concrete containing limestone powder was the smallest than those of other concretes as well as the initial setting time.

The objectives of this study are to investigate effective stiffness of Rectangular reinforced concrete bridge columns. It is reasonable to use yielding effective stiffness of columns in seismic bridge design, especially in case that plastic hinges form at the bridge columns. In this study, the material nonlinear analysis was conducted for 3, 240 column sections of which variables were the concrete compressive stress, the steel yielding stress, the longitudinal steel location parameter, the longitudinal steel ratio, the axial load level, and the diameter of section. Based on the analytical results, an effective stiffness including two variables(longitudinal steel ratio and axial load ratio) was proposed by regression analyses, and it is compared with test results and the proposed equation for yielding effective stiffness of circular bridge columns.

This study is to evaluate seismic performance of ordinary moment concrete frames. Base shear and roof displacement relations are obtained from the experiment of 3 story ordinary moment resisting concrete frame. The frame was designed only for gravity loads. The performance of the building is evaluated using capacity spectrum method. Five different seismic zones and three different soil types are considered. For each condition of seismic zone and soil type, ten earthquake ground motions are used to establish the demand spectrum.

A retrofit method “Steel Ring Confinement Retrofit” was proposed and discussed on the material and member characteristics through experiments. Steel Ring Confinement Retrofit consist of confining steel ring and expansive concrete. The steel ring is set on the footing, surrounding the base of the pier. By placing expansive concrete between the pier and steel ring, chemical prestress is introduced in the members. Chemical prestressed ring concrete enlarge the pier section and enhance both the strength and ductility of the pier. It was confirmed that Various Ring Confinement Retrofit improved the strength of the pier up to 30% ~ 100% with experiments.

This study investigates the seismic performance of bearing walls with rectangular sectional shape and specific details of reinforcements developed for 10 to 20-story apartment buildings in Korea. To investigate seismic behavior of structural walls, several specimens were experimented by author and laboratory test results by other researchers were collected and analysed. Structural behaviors of walls were evaluated by means of ductility, deformation, and strength capacities. For this purpose, thirty six specimens having different Properties such as aspect ratios and details were considered. Based on the results of this study, deformability of the walls with specific details is discussed. Also this study compares the response modification factor(R) for the bearing wall systems in seismic design provisions between Korea and United States.

The object of this research is to evaluate the seismic performance of existing RC bridge piers that were constructed before the adoption of the seismic design provision of Korea Bridge Design Specification in 1992. In this research, adopted test parameters were limited ductile design or non-seismic design, aspect ratio, confinement steel type, loading pattern, lap-spliced ratio for longitudinal reinforcement. This study has been performed to verify the effect of test parameter by quasi-static test. Quasi-static test has been done to investigate the physical seismic performance of RC bridge piers, such as lateral force-displacement hysteretic curve, envelope curve etc. It has been observed that seismic performance of lap-spliced test specimen, non-seismically designed specimens, was significantly reduced.

Numerical studies were performed to investigate the seismic performance of Flat Plate System. For the numerical studies, a computer program for Finite Element analysis was developed. Parametric studies were performed to investigate variations of strength and ductility of flat plate with major parameters: gravity load, reinforcement ratio, thickness, column sizes. The numerical results provide a valuable insights on the behavior of flat plates. The comparison with the current design method shows that the current design methods for strength and ductility need to be improved in some aspects.

The Sang-Jin bridge constructed by the Free Cantilever Method in 1985 is 4-span concrete rahmen bridge with a hinge at midspan. Due to the effect of creep, shrinkage of concrete and relaxation of tendon, the Sang-Jin bridge exposed the excessive displacement at midspan with the passage of time. In order to improve the load-carrying-capacity and durability of the bridge, needs to repair and rehabilitate the structure emerged. New rehabilitation methods were applied such as external prestressing of concrete box, application of pier pre-camber and steel truss jacking. Structural analysis and several tests including static load test, dynamic load test and ambient vibration test were executed to verify the improvement. The test result showed that the displacement of the midspan was improved by 10mm and it was verified that the stiffness of the bridge was increased. Totally, the load-carrying-capacity of Sang-Jin bridge was increased at least 1.56times which was attributed to the new rehabilitation method.

The widened Seoul-Bridge is the first continuous 8-span prestressed concrete(PSC) girder bridge in domain. The construction sequence of the bridge consists of S steps in a large way. The measuring in construction stage includes the determination of the allowable fluctuation value of beam stress in each step and the measurement beam stress during prestessing. The measured tendon prestress force was compared with the design value. When it was compared with the analytic result, the difference between the measured stress and the analytic stress was below allowable error. The friction loss and the anchorage slip loss of the tendon prestress force was lower than the design loss value.

The strengthening of concrete structures in situ with externally bonded fiber sheets is increasingly being used for repair and rehabilitation of existing structures. Because fiber sheets is attractive for this application due to its good tensile strength, resistance to corrosion, and low weight. But, debonding failure may occur at the beam ends that fiber sheet bonded to the soffit of a beam. The method which can prevent debonding failure is suggested and proved its efficiency by using CPS experimental test. And this paper summarized the results of experimental studies concerning the end-anchorage system. Results show that the suggested method is faithful in strengthening with CFS.

Tensile strength of CFRP (Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer) is approximately 10 times higher than that steel reinforcement, but the design strength of CFRP is normally reduced by the bond failure between RC and CFRP. Many researches have been carried out, concerned with bond behavior between RC and CFRP to prevent the unpredicted bond failure of RC beam strengthened by CFRP, but the national design code for design bond strength of CFRP hasn't been constructed. In this study, 3 beams specimen strengthened by CFRP under the variable of bonded length were tested to derive the design bond strength of CFRP to the RC flexural members. Also 2 beams specimen strengthened by CFRP were tested to inspect the construction environment effects such as mixing error of epoxy resin and the amount of primer epoxy resin. From the test results, It is concluded that the maximum design bond strength of CFRP to RC flexural member is considered to be $\tau_{a}$=8kgf/$cm^{2}$.

It is recently reported that bond failure can be initiated in the region where maximum bending moment and shear force is acted by accompanying shear deformation after flexural crack in full-scale RC beams strengthened by CFRP. Such a shear deformation effect causing bond failure is relatively little in the case of small-scale specimens. So, additional reinforcing details to the critical beam section where maximum moment and shear were acted is required to prevent the bond failure caused by the shear deformations. The U-type wrapping methods by CFRP to the critical beam section is proposed and tested in this paper. Also, the applicability of design bond strength derived from the tests of small-scale beam was investigated by the full-scale RC beam strengthened by CFRP.

This study is to develop the end anchorage of external steel reinforcement of RC slab bridges. External prestress method using the existing steel is that When the anchorage is installed in slab end, a plenty of anchor bolts were required because the only tangential stress of anchor bolt received a tendon force. Then, for this reason, the wide end anchorage was required and the shape was complicate. But this reinforcement method using method that inserts anchor key at concrete surface cut a groove gets big internal force comparing to the anchorage using existing anchor bolt. Furthermore, the number of anchor bolt for installing apparently will be reduced, and the operation will be convenient because a small anchorage of a simple shape will be received a great tendon force.

Dam concrete for pumped storage power plants should have sufficient durability in repetitive wet and dry conditions and abrasion due to water level fluctuation and also in freezing and thawing resistance as well as permeability capacity. This study presents various experimental results to enhance the durability of face slab concrete in CFRD(concrete faced rockfill dam) by varying the fly ash substitution such as 0%, 15%, 20% and 25% and polypropylene such as 0%, 0.1%. The effect on durability of concrete corresponding to the increasing amount of fly ash and polypropylene was evaluated and the optimum quantity of fly ash and polypropylene substitution was recommended. The results show that 20% of fly ash substitution and 0% of polypropylene were found out to be an optimum quantity to achieve excellent performances in durability for face slab concrete in CFRD.

This study focused on the investigation of strength development and permeability of LMC(latex modified concrete) and RSLMC(rapid-setting cement latex modified concrete) as the latex content, cement types and w/c ratio variated. The compressive strength of latex modified concrete decreased slightly and the flexural strength increased quitely at the latex content of 15%. This may due to the flexibility of latex filled in voids and interconnections of hydrated cement and aggregates by a film of latex particles, respectively. The permeability test results showed that the permeability of LMC was considerably lower than that of conventional concrete. In the RSLMC's tests of permeability to chloride ion indicated very low permeability at an early age, which nay be due to the early formation of needle-shape ettringites and latex film.

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.

Recently, Sea-sand containing high levels of chloride is being applied to on reinforced concrete structures due to the exhaustion of river-sand and environmental problems, which affects directly corrosion of rebar in the RC structures. In this paper, characteristics of corroded rebar before and after casting were studied. Test results showed that bond strength of rebar corroded after casting was decreased with increase of corrosion level more rapidly than that of rebar corroded before casting.

This study was performed to evaluate the effect of non-uniform corrosion distribution on the analysis of concrete cover failure. A series of experiments have been undertaken to measure the corrosion rate of reinforcement according to the concentration of chloride ion so as to suggest a relationship between the reinforcement corrosion rate and chloride ion density. The corrosion induced pressure depending on the density of chloride ion has been derived. And nonlinear analysis assuming nonlinear corrosion distribution for cover cracking was achieved and compared with other experimental results to verify the accuracy of the model. Analysis was also performed for various parameters to compare their effects.

This study was performed to evaluate reinforced concrete durability in chloride attack environment under sustained load by the corrosion of reinforcing bars and the permeation of chloride ion. Generally, it is regarded that permeability of chloride ion is determined by the properties of concrete, but the effects of load which make alternation of concrete inner structure such as crack and so on should not neglected. In this study, it is shown that the relation between bending load on RC beam, deflection and crack of specimen, permeation of chloride ion, rating of re-bar corrosion, and the relation between compression load and permeation of chloride ion. Therefore the effects of load on permeation of chloride ion and re-bar corrosion are evaluated.

Contemporary architecture calls for a wide range of surface textures and treatments. A surface compatible with the architect's design may vary from a glass-smooth finish to one requiring special sculptured ornamentation. These surfaces require many different types of form sheathing and lining. Chemical retarders applied to the form surface make It possible to remove surface mortar and expose the aggregate after forms have been removed. Variation in finish may also be achieved by grinding, chiseling, hammering, and sandblasting after the concrete has set. Precast panels as forms or liners may provide the desired surface finish; sometimes a combination several of these techniques is used.

Most cracks are located in nearby the strain point

Generally, in a steel girder and the concrete slab act as a composite structure, the connectors must have adequate strength and stiffness. If there are no horizontal or vertical separations at the interface, the connectors are described as rigid, and complete interaction can be said to exist under these idealized circumstances. In previous study, it was considered that the strength of stud is affected by the stud diameter, height of stud and compressive strength of concrete. The differences between previous study and this study are variables, which are shank diameter of shear connector, the spacing of shear connector, the size of specimen and the row of shear connector. So this paper, as a study on the strength of shear connector with the spacing of shear connector, size of specimen (block-out size), row of shear connector and shank diameter of shear connector resulted from the push-out specimen are conducted with ABAQUS program. It is to investigate the effects of characteristics of these factors. The load-slip relations obtained from the experiments are compared with those of analyses. From these results, the trends of stress are stress estimated and compared with push-out test.

Seismic safety of continuous span concrete bridge can be enhanced by distributing a large seismic lateral load to each supporting pier. A new viscoelastic device called Shock Transmission Unit(STU), which is a simple cylinder-piston assembly packed with a so-called silicone putty compound, enables the lateral seismic load to be transmitted to the pier by installation of the device to movable bearings of the bridge. The seismic safety of concrete bridges having the STU depends on not only safety of the bridges globally but also safety of anchor systems which anchors the STU to concrete pier. An experimental investigation is performed to study the behavior of cast-in-place anchor and post-installed anchor subjected to shear load statically and cyclically according to different edge distance, embedment length, and anchor spacing. Finally, the experimental results are compared with results by design methods of ACI and CCD, and results by FEM analysis.

ACI 318-99 predicts the torsional moment of reinforced concrete members by assuming that the angle of diagonal compressive concrete is equal to 45 degree. However, this angle depends on the difference of longitudinal and transverse steel ratios. This paper compares the torsional moments calculated by ACI 318-99 code and a truss model considering compatibility of strains. The comparison indicated that the torsion equation in ACI code underestimated the real torsional moment of reinforced concrete beam in which the ratio of longitudinal reinforcement was larger than that of transverse reinforcement.

This paper describes an attempt to develop a new truss model for reinforced concrete beams failing in shear based on a rational behavioral model. The key idea incorporated with truss model is the internal force state factor which is able to express global state of internal force flow in cracked reinforced concrete beams subjected to shear and bending. A new truss model using internal force state factor may provide a comprehensive result of shear strength in reinforced concrete beams without web reinforcement.

Using constitutive equations of the concrete and corroded steel, load-moment interaction curves of both deteriorated and strengthened concrete column are derived.

Reinforced concrete deck slabs are directly affected by traffic loads and they are also susceptible to weather-related problems, such as cracking, reinforcement corrosion, spatting, scaling, delamination, leakage, efflorescence and so on. Some of these defects are caused by water which seeps through pavements and trapped between pavements and deck slabs. For durability of reinforced concrete deck slabs and pavements, it is very important to protect deck slabs and drain the trapped water out. To develop the trapped water drainage system, the following studies have been performed in Korea Highway Cooperation: related researches are reviewed; for six bridges, deck slabs are thoroughly investigated; new system to effectively drain the trapped water out is proposed; the proposed system is installed and evaluated. The proposed system is proved to be effective to drain the trapped water out and is expected to increase the durability of reinforced concrete deck slabs.

This paper reviews available techniques for monitoring corrosion of steel in concrete. The need for early detection and diagnosis of corrosion related deterioration in reinforced structures is widely acknowledged. This is particularly important in reinforced concrete structures on account of the economic and social significance of the problem. The current generally used on-site procedure for corrosion monitoring of reinforced structures employs a method of half-cell surface potential measurements. While the technique has provided a useful means of delineating areas of high or low corrosion risk, there are difficulties in its use and interpretation when assessing rates of deterioration. Electrochemical techniques are by far the most suitable for corrosion monitoring purpose and meet most of the requirements. The aim of this paper is to describe the electric resistance sensor(ER sensor) and electrochemical techniques employed to monitor and estimate corrosion rates of reinforcement. Early detection and diagnosis of corrosion hazards allows preventive measures to be taken, hence the typically expensive repair of severely deteriorated structures can be avoided.

The glass of Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag(GGBFS) was released by the hydroxyl ions during the hydration of the Portland cement. That results in relatively less $Ca(OH)_{2}$ in the concrete replaced with GGBFS than in ordinary portland cement concrete(OPCC). As the quantity of $Ca(OH)_{2}$ is decreased, the rate of carbonation in the concrete replaced GGBFS is faster than OPCC. Therefore, it has been misunderstood that the concrete replaced GGBFS has negative effect on the corrosion of steel by carbonation. Therefore, this study aimed at the relation between carbonation and rebar corrsion in the concrete with GGBFS, measuring air.water permeability, half cell, and corrosion rate by the depth of carbonation.

The objective of this study is to examine the effect of frost damage immediately after placement on compressive strength of concrete. Obviously frost damage produced under low curing temperature at early ages causes the loss of compressive strength of concrete. In order to find the degrees of the loss of compressive strength, compressive strength tests was peformed at 7 and 28-day ages on concrete specimen with various curing temperature history. The results from the tests showed that the loss of compressive strength relative to concrete cured under isothermal temperature at $20^{\circ}C$ was generally from 20 to 50% for 7-day ages and below 20% for 28 day ages. Considering the serious loss of compressive strength over 50% for some cases, careful attention may be needed to placing of concrete under low atmospheric temperature.

The main intent of this research is to determine the feasibility of utilizing bottom ash as CLSM(Controlled Low-strength Materials). The durability tests including permeability, repeated wetting and drying, freezing and thawing for bottom ash CLSM were conducted. Laboratory test results indicated that CLSM using bottom ash has acceptable durability performance.

Reinforced concrete has defects in durability due to carbonation, freezing and thawing, and penetration of chloride ions with elapse of time in spite of super structure. Especially steel corrosion in concrete due to penetration of chloride ions has result in a severe decline in service life.

There are chloride content in concrete in cracked and non cracked specimen with cathodic protection. To investigate the effect of sacrificial anode cathodic protection, potential-decay with current density, corrosion ratio, etc. are measured. We have the excellent effect for control steel corrosion adaption sacrificial anode cathodic system.

Fly ash concrete is tested in fresh properties and early strength. The result of tests could give the decisive factor of form side's stripping time. The purpose of this study is presenting the stripping time data to help the construction work. The result of this study is below. 1. The plain concrete specimen in humid condition developed high strength before 5 days, then strength development is declined. 10 day strength of plain specimen is smaller than the normal condition specimen's. 2. The strength of the concrete which plenty of fly ash used is more developed than the concrete in normal condition. It says that fly ash concrete is useful in the humid condition. 3. As fly ash substitution rate is downsizing and outdoor temperature degree is low, form stripping times is getting shorter.
