The purpose of this study was to evaluate the salt water resistance of concrete depending on various types of cement. In this regard, 5 types of concrete were selected and their strength, void ratio and chloride ion diffusion characteristics were tested, and mutual correlation were analyzed. From the test results, the compressive strength and void ratio of concrete which using Type V cement was as good as Type I cement at long-term ages but the chloride diffusion coefficient of Type V cement was larger than Type I cement. And the concrete replacing some portion of the Type I cement with fly ash was superior in the cases of compressive strength, void ratio and the resistance of chloride ion permeation compared to the Type I cement with the lapse of ages. On the other hand, the compressive strength, the void ratio and the chloride diffusion coefficient of the concrete all indicated high levels of the correlation coefficient and the coefficient of determination regardless of the type of cement.

The permeable polymer-modified concrete has a lot of internal voids, which has more excellent performance in permeability and durability than asphalt and cement concrete. Therefore, 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, splitting tensile strength, flexural strength, water permeablility. 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.

In order to evaluate corrosion resistance of steel fiber-reinforced concrete, accelerated chloride migration and surface resistivity tests were conducted. In addition air content of fresh concrete, compressive strength and water absorption were measured for investigating fundamental characteristics of concrete. Two different water-cement ratios(0.44, 0.5) and three steel fiber contents(0.25%, 0.5%, 1%) were considered as variables. Note that all specimens cast with same compaction work. As a results, corrosion resistance decreased as steel fiber contents increased regardless of water-cement ratio when the concrete was compacted with same amount of work done. However, for concrete with same steel fiber content, the lower water-cement ratio showed the better corrosion resistance. It is found that enhancement of fluidity and enough compaction should be done for corrosion resistance of SFRC.

Recently, researches on High-Volume Fly ash Cement(HVFC), which is replacing high portion of cement to fly ash, have been actively conducted to reduce $CO_2$ formation. Though HVFC has various advantages, low strength development in early ages is pointed out as the biggest problem in the application of fly ash. In order to overcome such limitations, this study investigated the hydration and compressive strength characteristics of HVFC paste depending on the fly ash content with the mixing ratio varying from 0 to 80 %. Experimental results show that the HVFC paste with low water-binder ratio can overcome the limitation of low compressive strength at early ages. Also, from the result of heat flow delay, 50 % of fly ash weight ratio was the critical point of the filler effect.

When cement grout is used for waterproofing of grounds, important roles are played by fluidity, particle size and bleeding. The most important element which determines their characteristics is the water/cement ratio of grout. Moreover in order to improve the efficiency of soil permeation, micro cement with a smaller average diameter is used in addition to ordinary portland cement. Besides the mixing ratio and cement diameter, the condition of ground is also of fundamental importance in the efficiency of permeation. In order to evaluate grout in terms of permeation ability into ground, we need a field test of grounting, which is cost and time consuming. In this paper we present a laboratory test method in which the suitability and efficiency of grouts are simply and more practically tested. In Korea neither a test standard nor devices are available to simulate grouting in a laboratory. We devised a grout injection equipment in which grouting was reproduced in the same condition with different materials, and suggested a standard for the production of specimens. Our tests revealed that the efficiency of injection increases with the water/cement ratio. We also found that more efficiently injected is the grout with the order of decreasing size; MS8000, micro cement, and ultra fine cements, and colloidal super cement.

The rapid-set cement concrete causes high hydration temperature and nay result in a high drying shrinkage and shrinkage-induced cracking. This problem may be fixed by incorporating polypropylene fibers in rapid-set cement concrete, because of increased toughness, resistance to impact, corrosion, fatigue, and durability. A series of concrete drving shrinkage tests was peformed in order to investigate the shrinkage properties of polypropylene fiber reinforced concrete with experimental variables such as concrete types, fiber reinforcement, W/C ratio, with and without restraint. Uni-axially restrained bar specimens were used for the restrained shrinkage tests. The results were as follows; The dry shrinkage of rapid-set cement concrete was much lessor than that oi OPC, probably because of smaller weight reduction rate by early hydration and strength development. The constraint and bridging effects caused by polypropylene fibers were great for the rapid-setting cement concrete when compared with that of plain concrete, and this resulted In increased resistance against tensile stress and cracking.

To study the effect of foaming agent on the characteristic of mortar, the tests of water-cement ratio and bulk density of mortar were done under the different mixing ratio with G. U and J foaming agents. The results obtained were summarized as follows: 1. At the mixing ratio of 1 : 4 and 0.5% of foaming agent, the highest water-cement ratio was 90% by G, 88.3% by U and 70% by J foaming agent, respectively, being lower than 91.6% of that of cement mortar. 2. At the mixing ratio of 1 : 3 and 3.0% of foaming agent, the water-cement ratio was decreased up to 22.0% by G and 24.1% by U foaming agent, respectively, but it gradually was increased in richer and poorer mixing ratio. At the mixing ratio of 1 : 4 and 3.0% of foaming agent, the water-cement ratio was decreased up to 53.1% by J foaming agent, but it gradually was increased in richer mixing ratio. 3. At the mixing ratio of 1 : 1 and 0.5% of foaming agent, the highest bulk density was $1.981g/cm^3$ by G, $1.863g/cm^3$ by U and $1.149g/cm^3$ by J foaming agent, respectively, being lower than $2.048g/cm^3$ of that of cement mortar. 4. At the mixing ratio of 1 : 2 and 3.0% of foaming agent, the bulk density was decreased up to 20.7% by G, 23.7% by U and 56.5% by J foaming agent, respectively, but it gradually was increased in richer and poorer mixing ratio. 5. The water-cement ratio and bulk density were decreased in more addition of foaming agent, respectively, multiple regression equations of water-cement ratio and bulk density were computed depending on a function of mixing ratios and addition of foaming agents.

In this study, the correlation between Half Cell Potential(HCP) and the corrosion influencing factors was analyzed with considering three levels of water-cement ratio, the concentration of chloride solution, and cover depth. As a result of long-term corrosion monitoring, HCP behavior was close to the critical corrosion potential(-350 mV) in all water-cement ratios in the case of 3.5 % and 7.0 % chloride concentration. Regarding the passed charge test in 548 curing days, the passed charge results were improved to 'Moderate' grade. Multiple regression analysis was performed to evaluate the correlation between corrosion influencing factors and HCP, and it was evaluated that the effects of influencing factors to HCP were in the order of chloride concentration, water-cement ratio, and cover depth. In the case of the relationship between HCP and the passed charge, the coefficient of determination showed a high level of 0.9, which yielded a close correlation between the passed charge and HCP.

The present study investigated the physical changes and reaction products with setting time after mixing of various mineral admixtures such as lime, hydrated lime, gypsum, kaolin, zeolite and diatomaceous earth with four types of cement (portland cement, slag cement, quick lime, hydrated lime) and clay rich sediments in soft foundation. As results, slag cement showed the greater compressive strength than normal portland cement. The mixing experiments with various mineral admixtures and slag cement resulted that gypsum showed the greatest compressive strength. Additionally, we conducted mixing experiments with various mixing ratios of gypsum and slag cement. The experiments showed that the mixing ratio of $30\%$ gypum and $70\%$ slag cement has the greatest compressive strength. Ettringite was produced as a reaction Product. This fact indicates that gypsum effectively promotes hydration reaction and contributed to the greater compressive strength. These experimental results can be used as fundamental data for the stabilization of soft clay foundation.

원자력발전소의 2차 냉각계통 제염 공정인 EPRI/SGOG 공정에서는 EDTA를 제염제로 사용하고 있다. EDTA는 수용액 상에서는 20$0^{\circ}C$까지 안정하며 제염후 존재하는 유리 EDTA (EDTA-2NH$_4$)는 시멘트 수화반응에 의해 생성되는 Ca이온과 결합하여 EDTA-Ca 착이온이 형성된다. 따라서 CSH(Calcium Silicate Hydrate)겔의 형성을 억제함으로써 시멘트 경화반응을 지연시킨다. 현재 우리나라에서는 EDTA가 함유한 제염폐액의 처리방법의 미결정으로 인하여 자체 저장하고 있으나 고화체의 최종 처분조건을 만족하며 감용률을 최대화 할 수 있는 처리방법이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 유리 EDTA가 소석회의 발생을 억제시켜 경화반응에 영향을 주는 점을 고려하여 유리 EDTA 용액에 소석회로 전처리 하여 시멘트 고화한 고화체의 물성시험을 수행하였다. 연구결과 EDTA와 소석회 반응 몰비가 1이 되게 전처리할 경우 시멘트에 대한 물의 배합비는 27%이상이 되어야 하며, 유리 EDTA 함량이 20wt%인 용액에서 폐액/시멘트/소석회비가 33.4/65/1.6일때 최대의 감용률을 나타내는 건전한 고화체의 조성비를 얻었다.
