최근 비약적인 경제발전에 힘입어 장대교량, 항만, 댐, 도로, 원자력 발전소 등과 같은 대규모 기간구조물의 건설이 증가하고 있으며, 구조물은 대형화 혹은 고강도화되는 추세에 있다. 특히, 전술한 구조물을 매스콘크리트로 가설하게 되면 초기재령시에 수화열로 인한 균열이 발생할 가능성이 매우 높기 때문에 효율적인 매스콘크리트의 개발과 매스콘크리트 구조물의 설계기술 및 시공방법이 중요한 연구대상으로 등장하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 가로 52.6m, 세로 14.4m, 높이 8.5m의 기계기초 매스콘크리트의 시공에 적합한 온도관리기법을 다음과 같은 단계로 제안하고자 한다. 먼저 온도상승요인을 최소화하는 콘크리트의 배합비를 산정한다. 산정된 콘크리트의 열특성을 측정하기 위해 단열온도실험을 수행하여 각종 열특성상수와 단열온도 상승곡선식을 도출한다. 이와 같은 열특성치를 콘크리트 구조체에 적용하여 열응력해석을 수행한다. 이와 같은 열응력해석을 통하여 구조물의 분할타설높이에 따라 온도균열이 발생하지 않는 콘크리트 내외부의 온도차를 결정한다. 이때 열응력해석에 범용 유한요소 프로그램인 Diana을 사용한다. 콘크리트의 타설은 현장조건과 타설시점을 최대로 고려하고 양생방법으로 콘크리트 내외부의 온도차를 최소화하기 위해 이중단열효과가 있는 거푸집과 가열장비을 사용한다. 또한 콘크리트의 온도관리를 위하여 구조물 내외부에 온도게이지를 매립하고 30분마다 계측을 수행하면서 콘크리트 내외부 온도차가 허용 해석범위를 유지하도록 한다. 양생기간은 7-10일 정도를 유지한다. 전술한 온도관리기법을 통하여 완공후 수평정밀도가 기초의 허용침하량으로 환산하여 $1{\mu}m$ 인 고정밀도의 기계기초는 완벽하게 시공되었다. 따라서 매스콘크리트의 온도균열을 제어할 수 있는 시공방법으로 제안한다. 또한 매스콘크리트의 내외부 온도차를 단열온도실험과 온도해석으로부터 정한 값이내로 제어하고 충분한 양생관리를 병행하면 수화열에 의한 콘크리트의 온도균열을 최소화할 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

The objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of the application of double layered bubble sheet on the curing of slab and wall concrete placed at the job site in cold weather and to offer a feasibility of Concrete IoT Management System(CIMS), which is wireless sensor network developed by the authors, to manage early age quality of the concrete in terms of temperature, maturity and strength development. Test results indicated that the application of bubble sheet enhances the insulation performance, which results in an increase of the temperature by around 1~20. 6℃. It is found that CIMS can gather the temperature, maturity and strength development data from the sensors embedded from 30 m far from CIMS successfully. Predicted compressive strengths by CIMS had good agreement with measured ones within 2 MPa error level until 7 days. It is thought that the combination of the bubble sheet application for cold weather protection and CIMS for quality management tool in cold weather concreting contributes to shorten the time for the form removal by one day.

This paper presents the effectiveness of cold weather concreting by applying both anti-freeze agent and insulating forms developed through previous study investigating insulating effects on the concrete and the strength gain. According to test results, in $-10^{\circ}C$ of air temperature, when euroforms are applied, the temperature of plain concrete drops below $0^{\circ}C$ and maintains its temperature during early 24 hours. However, when insulating forms are applied, the temperature of concrete keeps 8~$13^{\circ}C$ during first 24 hours. Insulating forms has better performance on insulating effects than existing euroforms. Concrete containing anti-freeze agent shows temperature rising effects about $1^{\circ}C$ compared to plain concrete. Strength gain of core concrete shows higher when insulating forms is applied.

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.

In this paper, insulating effects and strength development of concrete placed at mock up model structure are discussed using anti freezing agent and insulating forms. According to test results, concrete containing 8% of anti freezing agent shows lower freezing temperature, earlier setting time and higher strength development than plain concrete. As for the temperature history of mock up structures, when plain concrete is placed at euro form, the temperature drops to -4${\circ}$ before early 24 hours, and when concrete containing anti freeze agent at euro form, it to -3${\circ}$ before early 24 hours. Nevertheless, when concrete containing anti freeze agent is placed at insulating form, it does not go below zero, and the concrete containing anti freeze agent enhances higher strength development.

This study investigates the effect of the diameters of reinforcement bars located in an euro-form before placing concrete in a cold weather condition. The diameters of reinforcement bars with 13 mm, 19 mm, 25 mm and 32 mm were prepared for the experimental tests. Results showed that the larger the size of the diameter of the bars, the higher were the temperature drop. However, this study found that its effect on the temperature drop of the bars was insignificant.

In today's diversified society, it is hard to know which building style represents the architectural style of the time. The simplicity found in monolithic-style buildings forms a symmetrical point with fairly complex structure, and its value can be acknowledged. This study analyzes buildings made of insulating lightweight aggregate concrete in the early 21st century, defines the concept of monolithic expression, and examines how these characteristics are expressed in the space, forms, and structural methods in construction. Unlike a multi-layered exterior wall system, which features multiple layers composed of a variety of materials, the exterior walls built with insulating lightweight aggregate concrete comes in a lump form with a mold form that is tightly filled with concrete as a single material and is monolithic. This is attributed to the creation of spaces characterized by the homogeneity of inner and outer spaces with the use of the same material, continuity of the surface as solidity, spatial characteristics of the stereotomic construction, expression of materiality with the use of exposed concrete, and the contrast of the lump and the space. This not only reveals formal characteristics that expose a discourse about monolithic architecture in contemporary architecture but also provide an opportunity to extend the range of discussion to structures and materials and even to their effects on space.

In summer and winter, the difference between the temperature during the day and that during the night is high, which leads to various problems during concrete placement, such as cracks and defects in the concrete as well as low durability and strength. Although nuclear power plant concrete is widely used for placement in all seasons, particular attention must be paid to its quality during the summer. Therefore, we evaluated the effects of a cooling method for mixing water, which is a commonly used hot weather precooling method, and the use of a retarder, on the characteristics of Nuclear Power Plant concrete. In the cooling method for mixing water, cold water at 5 was used, with 50% of the water content consisting of ice flakes. The effects of using a retarder were evaluated by reviewing the characteristics of the cement at the unset stage and after hardening. To evaluate the characteristics of the unset cement, we measured the slump, air volumes, setting times, and pressure strengths after hardening. Furthermore, we measured the heat of hydration at different temperatures; the loss of heat was minimized using insulation. Both the slump time and the complete ageing time of the air volume were found to be 120 min at $20^{\circ}C$ and 40 min at $40^{\circ}C$. In the case when the cooling method for mixing water was used and in the case when a retarder was used, the initial and final sets by penetration resistance were delayed, and the delay decreased with increasing air temperature. For the heat of hydration, the cooling method for mixing water not only lowered the maximum temperature but also delayed its attainment. However, the use of a retarder had no effect on the maximum temperature. Moreover, in the early ages (e.g., 3 and 7 days), the pressure strength of the concrete was lower than that of plain cement. However, the strength of 28-day concrete met the standard construction specifications.
