A variety of studies on concrete have been performed to examine the advantages for structural material, but less attention has been paid to the contribution of concrete to finishing. Due to this matter, specific management guidelines for construction and quality on exposed concrete have not been clearly established despite more construction cost and quality control are required. This study analyzed a impact factors on the quality by survey of the existing research and practice. Field tests were performed using mock-up models to analyze the quality of exposed concrete according to form manufacture method, concrete mix proportion, and concrete placing method. Results indicate that the quality of exposed concrete was determined by concrete mix proportion and construction managements. Guidelines of quality control on exposed concrete in construction stages were proposed.

Generally, high performance concrete has characteristics such as low water-cementitous material ratio, lots of unit binder powder, thus the drying shrinkage and autogenous shrinkage are tend to be increased. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of the glyclos based shrinkage reducing agent on the drying shrinkage and autogenous shrinkage of high performance concrete with 30% of water-cemetitious material ratio as a study to develop the technology to reduce the concrete shrinkage. Test results show that the drying and autogenous shrinkage of high performance concrete are reduced by about 20~35% at the mixing ratio of shrinkage reducing agent of 0.5%, and 1.0%, compared with plain concrete. Therefore, it analyze that the using of shrinkage reducing agent is effective to reduce the drying shrinkage and autogenous shrinkage of high performance concrete.

This study was performed to get high strength of the precase concrete adopting a steam curing by using a gypsum-admixture for the high strength concrete. The superplasticizer was used to compensate low slump of base concrete keeping its slump up about $6{\pm}1cm$. To examine the property for strength revelation of concrete using admixtures for a high strength concrete, steam and standard curing were compared each other. Test results were shown that admixtures for high strength concrete were more effective in steam curing than standard curing. On the condition that the unit cement content is about $530{\sim}600kg/m^3$, the compressive strength of concrete replacing by 10% of the admixture was obtained over $65Okgf/cm^2$, which was increased as 1.3 times as that for the nonreplacement. When the admixture was replaced to 15-30%, the compressive strengh was obtained over $700kgf/cm^2$ which was increased as 1.4 - 1.5 times. Therefore, the admixture for high strength concrete, being effective in steam curing, was more efficient to get a high strength concrete using only steam curing instead of an autoclave curing for the secondary products of cement.

Recently, high performance concrete developed has a good quality at fresh and hardened state, but high binder contents results in spending much money on manufacturing and many cracks by drying and autogenous shrinkage, Therefore, in this paper, not only prevention of cracks caused by drying and autogenous shrinkage, but improvement of quality and accomplishment of economy by applying F.A(fly ash), S.F(silica fume) and CSA(calcium sulfa aluminate) expansive additives as an inorganic admixtures in W/B 35% are discussed. According to the experimental results, when 5% of CSA expansive additives and 15:5(F.A:S.F)are replaced at unit cement content, high performance concrete with both good fluidity at fresh state and high compressive strength, compensation of drying and autogenous shrinkage at hardened state are accomplished.

In this study, the characteristics such as flowability, bleeding rate, and strength of the CLSM (Controlled Low Strength Material) according to physical properties such as particle size distribution and particulate content of the pond ash were investigated as part of the practical development of technology for CLSM using pond ash. As a result of analyzing the properties of the collected pond ash, it was found that the density and particle size distribution characteristics were different. And that the bleeding ratio did not satisfy the standard in the case of the specimen with a large amount of fly ash and a lot of addition of mixing water. As a result of the compressive strength test, the strength development of 0.5 MPa or more for four hours was found to be satisfactory for the specimens using hemihydrate gypsum with a unit binder amount of 200 or more, and the remaining gypsum showed poor strength development. Although it was determined that landfill coal ash can be used as a CLSM material, it is necessary to identify and apply the physical and chemical characteristics of coal ash buried in the ash treatment plant of each power generation company.

Recently, active researches are conducted on high performance concrete(HPC) exhibiting high strength and high fluidity. These researches are resulting in increased applications on real structures. In order to satisfy the required performances, HPC makes use of large quantities of binder and presents low water-cementitious material ratio. Such mixing is increasing significantly the autogenous shrinkage, which subsequently is likely to favor the potential development of cracks. Therefore, we investigated the effect of used materials and mix proportions on the shrinkage properties of HPC, and of the use of expansive additives and shrinkage reducing agents on the HPC. The autogenous shrinkage of HPC using blast furnace slag are tend to be increased, in some case have the potential development of cracks by only the autogenous shrinkage. Also the using method in combination with expansive additive and shrinkage reducing agent is more effective than the separately using method of that.

Recently, in many laboratories and institutes it is being studied on the high flowing concrete widely, which has high fluidity, non-segregation ability and fillingability, and sometimes being applied to the construction field actually. And the fluidity properties of high flowing concrete are influenced according to the several factors ; binder content, water/binder ratio and water content etc. This is an experimental study to compare and analyze the effect of water/binder ratio and water content on the properties of high flowing concrete. For this purpose, the mix proportion of high flowing concrete according to water/binder ratio(W/B : 0.30, 0.35, 0.40, 0.45) and water content (W : 155, 165, 175, 185 kg/㎥) was selected. And then slump-flow, V-lot, L-passing test in fresh concrete, and compressive strength, freezing and thawing test in hardened concrete were peformed. According to test results, it was found that the viscosity of all those high flowing concrete with the water content 175 kg/㎥ was satisfied with 50 cm pass time of slump flow prescribed by Japanese Architectural Standard Specification (JASS 5) - from 3 to 8 seconds. And non-segregation ability of concrete with W/B 0.35 was better than the other mix proportions. Especially, the compressive strength after curing 24 hours(1 day) of all high flowing concrete was higher than that prescribed by JASS 5(50 kgf/㎠).

In this study, performance of hardening accelerator types which promote setting and hardening of cement has been reviewed in order to develop early age strength of concrete with compressive strength of 21~27 MPa after examination of strength development of the concrete at early age according to curing temperature and unit cement(binder) content. As results, soluble mineral salt showed better hardening acceleration effect than organic salt in the scope of this study. Also, hydration reaction accelerating effect of $C_3S$ by Soluble mineral salt is effective on development of early age compressive strength and it was shown that the Pt's hydration reaction accelerating effect was the best. Construction duration reduction can be expected by securing compressive strength for prevention of early aged freezing damage in 25hour-curing time under curing temperature at $15^{\circ}C$. Also, it was shown that compressive strength of specimen cured at $5^{\circ}C$ was similar with plain specimen cured at $10^{\circ}C$. Therefore, it is expected that fuel costs and carbon dioxide can be reduced when the same construction duration is considered.

This study aims to develop CLSM fill material for emergency restoration using landfill coal ash. As a result of examining physical properties such as particle size distribution and fines content of landfill coal ash, bottom ash, fly ash, and general soil were mixed, and SP was found to have a density of 2.03 and a residual particle pass rate of 7.8 %. CLSM materials that secure fluidity in unit quantities without using chemical admixtures such as glidants and water reducing agents have a high risk of material separation due to bleeding. As a result of this experiment, it was found that the bleeding ratio did not satisfy the standard in the case of the specimen with a large amount of fly ash and a lot of addition of mixing water. As a result of the compressive strength test, the strength development of 0.5 MPa or more for 4 hours was found to be satisfactory for the specimens using hemihydrate gypsum with a unit binder amount of 200 or more, and the remaining gypsum showed poor strength development. Although it is judged that landfill coal ash can be used as a CLSM material, it is necessary to identify and apply the physical and chemical characteristics of coal ash buried in the ash treatment plant of each power generation company.

Most of shrinkage is mainly caused by autogenous shrinkage in Ultra high strength steel-fiber reinforced cementitious composites(UHSFRC). water to binder ratio is very low, about 0.2. It occurs faster hydration and cause a large amount of autogenous shrinkage in early ages. the large autogenous shrinkage can cause harmful cracks in a structure and deteriorate the designed structural performance. therefore it is very important to predict the autogenous shrinkage accurately. The study about the autogenous shrinkage of UHSFRC was carried out in this paper. through comparing with JSCE recommendations for UHSFRC, it was found out that UHSFRC in this study showed higher autogenous shrinkage than that of JSCE. And Applicability of early proposed models by some researchers was also investigated. the analytical results let us know that Miyazawa's model showed the best agreement with the experimentally obtained autogenous shrinkage of UHSFRC.
