The experiment was carried out to investigate the influence of coarse aggregate, admixture, and accelerator on the properties of concrete. As the maximum size of coarse aggregate decreased from 13 mm to 8 mm, fluidity of fresh concrete declined but compressive strength and dynamic modulus of elasticity of hardened concrete increased remarkably. The mechanical properties of concrete substituted silica fume to the plain concrete improved, the compressive strength of that substituted blast furnace slag increased slightly. The hydration reaction and compressive strength of specimen with sodium luminate type accelerator were high at initial, but specimen with alkali free type accelerator improved largely in 28 days.

For the purpose of improving the strength of Concrete, Silica Fume which has $SiO_2$ content of 90% and average particle diameter of $0.2{\mu}m$ was substituted to some extent as a cementious material of concrete. By means of using high range water reducing admixture and reducing water-cementions material ratio, the high strength mortar and concrete which have compressive strength of $865kg/cm^2$, $725kg/cm^2$, respectively were acquired. But the fact that the slump loss according to elapsed time was high and the tensile strength and elastic modulus were not improved sufficiently was the problem to be solved.

본 본문에서는 실리카 흄을 사용한 고강도 콘크리트의 제조와 역학적 특성 및 최적 배합에 대한 실험적 연구를 수행하였다. 본 본문에서는 주요 실험변수를 물-시멘트비와 혼화재인 실리카 흄의 혼입량으로 정하였으며, 압축강도 및 휨강도와 합렬인장강도 특성을 분석하였다. 실리카흄의 혼입으로 강도가 증가함을 발견하였으나 어느 범위이상의 과도한 혼입은 오히려 강도를 저해하는 것으로 나타났다. 물-시멘트비 0.28에서는 실리카 흄 혼입량이 5%일 때 최대의 강도가 나타났고, 물-시멘트비 0.40에서는 15%, 물-시멘트비 0.55에서는 20%혼입에서 가장 큰 강도가 나타났다. 또한 본 연구에서는 압축강도와 물-시멘트비 및 실리카 흄량 사이의 관계를 도출하여 그 관게식을 제시하였으며, 이 식으로부터 소요강도를 위한 본 배합변수를 유추할 수 있다. 본 연구결과 물-시멘트비 효과와 실리카 흄의 효과가 상쇄되는 구간이 존재하며, 따라서 이들 효과를 함께 고려한 최적배합을 도출하여 제시하고 있다.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the adhesion properties of polymer cement composites for crack repair of an RC structure. Polymer cement composites are manufactured from cement, three types of polymers and silica fume, and the mixture is designed by adjusting the water cement ratio and AE reducing agent so that the viscosity target of the polymer cement composites is 700mPa·s or less. According to the test results, the Type-A adhesion in tension of the polymer cement composite exceeded the adhesion standard of 1.0MPa of the polymer finishing material, and furthermore, depending on the type of polymer, the adhesion in tension was highest for SAE, followed in descending order by EVA, and SBR. In addition, the adhesion in tension of Type-B is up to 1/4.5 lower than that of Type-A, but the incorporation of silica fume shows a significant improvement in terms of adhesion in tension. Based on this study, the basic mixing design of the polymer cement composites required for viscosity and adhesive performance required for crack repair of the RC structure was completed. It could be proposed as an optimal mixing design under conditions for intermixing polymer type EVA, SAE, and P/C 80%-100%.

In this study, an experiment in the field was performed to analyze the influence of steel fiber and silica fume on the rebound ratios of shotcrete. The experimental parameters which are the reinforcing methods(steel fiber, wire mesh), steel fiber contents(0.0%, 0.5%. 0.75%, 1.0%), silica fume contents(0.0%, 10.0%), and the three placing parts(side wall, shoulder, crown) were chosun. According to the results for the side wall in this test, the larger the fiber contents are in case of steel fiber reinforced shotcrete, the less the rebound ratios are within the range of 20~35%, compared to the wire mesh reinforced shotcrte. And also, the reduced rebound ratios were vary larger in using steel fiber reinforced shotcrete with silica fume content of 10%, and these results are true of the shoulder and the crown, respectively. In addition, the four-stage phenomenon for the rebound of the SFRS were estimated in the view of the co-action between steel fiber and coarse aggregate based upon the existing two-stage analysis method.

In recent years, construction company makes inroads into the world construction market, and receives the order of extra-large concrete structure under marine environment in south-east asia specially. At this point of time, to enhance the quality of concrete, we research the High Strength Concrete (HSC) containing mineral admixtures. In this study, therefore, HSC with various combination of ordinary portland cement(OPC), blast-furnace slag(SG), silica fume(SF), and expansion admixture(SS) are cured 23 and $35^{\circ}C$ considering the site weather, and are cured in water for 3, 7 or 56 days respectively. Test results show that the HSC cured at $35^{\circ}C$ gains higher early-age strength but eventually gains lower later-age strength compare with the HSC cured at $23^{\circ}C$. Especially, HSC with combination of OPC+SG+SF+SS or OPC+SG+SF show very excellent resistance of chloride penetration. The permeability of HSC was therefore enhanced as because of containing the proper content of SG, SF, and SS and making dense micro-structure of HSC.

UHPC has high performance, high strength and excellent mechanical properties. Moreover UHPC(Ultra High Performance Cementitious Composite) has advantage to reduce cross section under the same load compared with other kinds of concrete. But silica fume which is imported from foreign country has a abundant portion in UHPC mixture in comparison with normal concrete. This is one of the main reason to raise the construction cost. Superior mechanical properties of UHPC due to the optimum filling composition can be changed by replacing the very fine ingredient. The purpose of this research is to grasp the characteristic of UHPC which silica fume and silica flour is replaced with limestone powder. This experiment can be divided into three classes according to the kinds of replacement. The compressive strength and flow of all types were measured and microstructure and hydration phenomena for comparing RPC were analyzed by SEM, XRD, NMR method. As a result, the replacement can be considered to be effective by for the decrease of the UHPC structure construction cost and improvement of the fresh UHPC.

This study provided the engineering properties of the recycled aggregate concrete with fly-ash and silica-fume. There are considered recycled aggregate substitution ratio, and fly-ash silica-fume mix ratio as the experimental variable. From the experimental result, we could know that the recycled aggregate concrete mixed silica-fume is superior on the compressive strength but, is poor on the construction property than fly-ash. The optimal mix ratio of the fly-ash and silica-fume is 10% in all.
