The objective of this study is to investigate the properties of fresh concrete with recycled coarse and fine aggregates. Four different kinds of aggregate with natural, recycled aggregates were prepared. The concrete mixtures were produced with test parameters of replacement ratio of recycled aggregate. The properties of the fresh concrete were measured by means of slump and air content according to elapsed time. Quality control method to maintain the constant total mixing water for recycled aggregate concrete was suggested. The all concrete mixtures were produced with approximately the same slump on the job site after an hour. Test results indicated that compressive strength of concrete with constant slump is not affected by the replacement ratio of recycled aggregate. Also the practical way for the quality control of recycled aggregate concrete is to maintain the constant total mixing water.

In this study, we tested to develop and apply structural insulation performance improvement concrete to field, which had compressive strength in 24 MPa and thermal conductivity twice as much as normal concrete. After experiment about slump and air contents, combination product of Plain and calcined diatomite powder showed reduction of slump and air contents and combination product with micro foam cell admixture, we cannot find result of slump and air contents reduction. Unit weight of combination product with insulation performance improvement materials decreased more than that of Plain. In the test of compressive strength, compressive strength of insulation performance improvement concrete decreased more than that of Plain but was content with 24 MPa. thermal conductivity of insulation performance improvement concrete tended to decrease. Freezing and thawing resistance of insulation performance improvement concrete was similar to that of Plain. In carbonation resistance test, combination product with calcined diatomite powder showed the result which was similar to that of Plain. In carbonation resistance test, combination product with micro foam cell admixture showed a increase compared to that of Plain and length variation of combination product generally increased.

In this research, the influence of low-quality aggregate on engineering properties of concrete was experimentally evaluated. From a series of experiment, the results can be summarized as follow: first, the low-quality aggregate in concrete mixture caused up to 83% of decreased slump. For air content, low-quality aggregate increased air content of concrete mixture. Especially, when sea sand was used, because of the narrow gradation with small size, the air content was significantly increased. The compressive strength of concrete mixtures with low-quality aggregates were decreased up to 29% while some cases showed slightly increased compressive strength at early age. Additionally, the concrete mixture mixed with the exploded debris as a coarse aggregate showed approximately 5 to 20% of decreased compressive strength comparing with high-quality of manufacturing rock. In summary, because of the decreased workability of concrete mixture mixed with low-quality aggregates such as exploded debris, clay, and sea sand, it is concerned that worse quality of the ready mixed concrete, produced with the extra water to compensate the decreased workability.

To improve the problem of strength reduction of unary and binary blended non-cement concrete that occur at room temperature, comparative analysis was conducted based on the slump and compressive strength properties of ternary blended non-cement concrete in which cement was replaced with silica fume, fly ash, and blast furnace slag, and the following conclusions were drawn. The ternary blended non-cement concrete showed higher compressive strength than binary binder concrete, and the slump reduction was less when 10% silica fume was mixed. In addition, the appropriate composition ratio range of each by-product was suggested according to slump and compressive strength level based on ternary diagram.

본 연구는 고강도 콘크리트 실용화의 일환으로 국내에서 시판되고 있는 고성능 감수제의 품질성능을 평가하기 위한 것이다. 이러한 연구를 위하여 8종류의 고성능 감수제를 대상으로 첨가량에 따른 특성을 비교하였다. 또한 경시변화에 따른 특성을 비교, 분석하기 위하여 슬럼프, 공기량 그리고 압축강도비를 측정하였다. 이 때 고성능 감수제의 품질성능 평가 규준는 JASS 5T-402 규준에 따라 실시하였다. 실험결과 국내에서 시판되는 고성능 감수제는 공기량, 앞축강도비에 대해서는 모두 만족하였지만 슬럼프 경시 저하량은 DA를 제외한 모든 고성능 감수제가 규준치를 초과하였다. 따라서 현장에서 고강도콘크리트를 생산할 경우 배합방법이나 첨가방법을 개선하여 시공성을 확보하는 방안이 필요할 것이다.

본 연구에서는 고유동, 저발열 및 고강도 특성을 발현하는 belite-rich cement(BRC)에 있어서 카르복실산계 유기혼화제를 사용했을 때 가용성 알칼리의 함량 변화에 따른 흡착거동과 유동특성에 미치는 영향성에 대해 검토하였다. BRC에서 알칼리 0.1~0.2 wt% 및 알칼리 설페이트 0.3~0.5 wt% 첨가시 슬럼프가 증가하거나 손실이 거의 없었으며, 그 이상의 함량을 첨가하였을 때 다시 유동서 저하를 가져왔다. 그러나, 보통 포틀랜드 시멘트(OPC)의 슬럼프 유지능력은 알칼리 및 알칼리 설페이트를 첨가할수록 감소되었다.

Concrete used as structural materials in construction fields is supplied as a type of carry and placement by ready-mixed concrete (RMC) truck after proportioning in batch plant. However, during conveying of concrete to the field, due to traffic jam, weather, etc., it is not easy to maintain adequate slump. In this case, we think that the insert of an admixture to concrete has no problem in concrete. For RMC, when the slump is not sufficient, the truck driver insert water additionally without any considerations. After that, concrete is placed after re-mixing and this leads to serious reasons such as strength reduction less than design strength considered in the structural design. Accordingly, in this study, to solve the problem to insert water without realistic reasons in RMC, basic experimental studies were performed. Admixtures used frequently in fields were selected and addition's repeated time and elapsed time interval after initial addition of the admixture were selected as main variables. Authors want that the results of this study is used as basic data to resolve the question.

The cover of truck agitator give in a part to prevent the lower flowing of fresh concrete when the concrete are transported from the ready mixed concrete plant to the construction field. As a result of the question data, it show up a dirty image to the general civil society. Due to the above image, it is predicted to affect the image of the construction company, so we did the site experiment of the flowing, the amounts of air, the temperature change of concrete with the concrete left in the site, to find out the usefulness. Also, for the comparing with this, we got the result by doing the inner experiment with the same condition. As the result of the experiment, the cover of truck agitator affect little to the reduction of slump. The change of the air amount, regardless of the existence of cover, was not effected much in proper level until 60minutes. In addition, The compression strength was proper to the goal design strength until 90minutes regardless of the cover of truck agitator exist or not exist.

Because of the supply-demand problem of aggregate, recently, the construction sites using 100% crushed sand are increasing and the use of low quality aggregate such as farmland sand is increasing too. When the low quality aggregate is used, the various quality defect of concrete such as the strength reduction, the increase of shrinkage and bleeding can be occurred. Therefore, in this study, the performance improvement PC admixture was developed to minimize the quality defect of plain concrete of basement parking area, when the low quality aggregate was used at the plain concrete of basement parking area. The slump loss to elapsed time test, the compressive strength test, the bleeding test and the drying shrinkage test were carried out.

It is well practised in the field of concrete engineering that the effort of improving the low slumped concrete and uplifting the quality of the soft concrete by adopting the superplasticizer. In this paper, an attempt is made to find out the optimum mix design of the superplasticized concrete with an unit weight of cement 400 kg and the range of $19{\pm}1cm$ of slump by variatlng the sand percentage, unit water content and the dosage of superplasticizer. As a result, the author obtained the basic idea on the optimum mix design and strength of superplasticized concrete. On the other hand, it is also considered during the research the method of preventing the slump loss of the superplasticized concrete due to the delayed time after concrete mixing.
