This study reviewed the use of soil injection materials using circulating resources as injection materials for the steel pipe multi-stage construction method. The tests performed were homogel time and homogel compressive strength. The steel pipe multi-stage construction method is an auxiliary construction method for tunnels, and the expression of initial strength after construction is an important factor. The better the strength development in the initial stage, the more it can be used as an injection material suitable for the multi-stage steel pipe construction method. As a result of laboratory test, it was found that the homogel time of the injection material using circulating resources required more time than the mixing ratio using cement as the injection material. In addition, it was found that the initial strength curing time satisfying 2MPa was required for more than 24 hours. Therefore, it was confirmed that the injection material using recycled resources required a longer initial curing time than cement of the same mixing ratio.

This study investigates the delay in setting characteristics of mortar influenced by variations in super retarding agent(SRA) content, curing temperature, and strength levels. Utilizing a settimeter, the research introduces an objective approach to accurately determine the setting time of concrete with SRA under diverse environmental and material mixing conditions at construction sites. The findings indicate that the settimeter, in conjunction with a nonlinear regression model, can effectively estimate the setting time of super retarding mortar. Optimal management of the initial setting is recommended at approximately 45ST and the final setting around 80ST. This methodology enables more effective quality control in the setting times of super retarding concrete.

The phenomena that we experience in everyday life such as snow, rain, wind, and temperature are referred to as weather, and the average state of atmospheric phenomena that occur over a long period of time in a specific region is referred to as climate. In addition, significant variation of climate compared to the average state is referred to as climate change. Concrete structures can have various problems when exposed to elements. Among the problems, the freeze-thaw problem due to extreme climatic factors such as heavy rain and snowfall has become a particularly significant issue recently. The concrete that has been subjected to repeated freeze-thaw rather than too high or low temperature shows serious degradation of durability, and the performance of structures with degraded performance is difficult to recover. Therefore, in this study, concrete durability performance with respect to freeze-thaw from curing conditions change due to wind speed and sunshine exposure time. Concrete freeze-thaw experiment are performed. using wind speed and sunlight exposure time. Also, performance based evaluation through the satisfaction curve based on the freeze-thaw test results are performed.

This study is intended to produce a PC (Precast Concrete) member without a steam curing process in developing the high early strength concrete satisfying the condition of 10MPa in compressive strength at the age of 6 hours, and is intended to ensure economic feasibility by increasing the turnover rate of concrete form. Hence, high early strength cement with high $C_3S$ content and the hardening accelerator of powder type accelerating the hydration of $C_3S$ was used. And the properties of concrete were evaluated according to the hardening accelerator mixing ratio (0, 1.2, 1.6, 2.0). No big difference was found from the tests of both slump and air content. When 1.6 % or higher amounts of the hardening accelerator were mixed, the compressive strength of 10MPa was achieved at the age of 6 hours. From the test results of autogenous (drying) shrinkage and plastic shrinkage, it can be seen that there was a difference according to hydration reaction rate due to the addition of the hardening accelerator. However, it was shown that no problem arose with crack and durability. And it was shown that resistance to freezing-thawing, carbonation, and penetration were excellent.

Currently, extreme weather events such as super typhoon, extreme snowfall, and heat wave are frequently occurring all over the world by natural and human caused factors. After industrial growth in the 1970s, earth's temperature has risen sharply. due to greenhouse effect. Global warming can be attributed to gases emitted from using fossil fuel such as average carbon dioxide, perfluorocarbons, nitrous oxide, and methane. Especially, carbon dioxide has the highest composition of about 90%. in the fossile fuel usage emitted gas. Concrete has excellent durability as a building material climate change. However, due to various of physical and chemical environmental effect such as conditions during its curing process, the performance degradation may occur. Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere causes steel corrosion and durability decreases by lowering the alkalinity of concrete. Therefore, in this study, concrete durability performance with respect to carbonation from curing conditions change due to wind speed and sunshine exposure time. Concrete carbonation experiment are performed. using wind speed (0, 2, 4, 6) m/s and sunlight exposure time (2, 4, 6, 8) hrs. Also, performance based evaluation through the satisfaction curve based on the carbonation depth and carbonation rate test results are performed.

The effects of binder content and recycling mixed waste plastics(PA) content on the workability, work life and hardening shrinkage of fresh polymer concrete using mixed waste plastics are examined. As a result, the workability of the polymer concretes using mixed waste plastics tend to improve with increasing binder content, PA content and filler content. The work life of the polymer concretes using mixed waste plastics is shortened with an increase in the initiator content and curing temperature. The length change of the polymer concretes using mixed waste plastics tend to increased with Increasing binder content and PA content. The result of the present research is expected to make a contribution to the recycling of final mixed waste plastics and the continuing efforts for the development of use of the recycled products are thought to expand the horizon for the recycling of the final mixed waste plastics.

최근 국지성 호우 및 하천 제방의 노후화로 인한 제방 붕괴 피해가 빈번히 발생하면서 제방의 안정성 및 표면 보강을 위한 다양한 연구가 시도되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 제방 붕괴에 따른 피해 최소화 및 대책을 수립하기 위한 방법으로 시멘트와 같은 지구온난화를 야기시키는 물질이 아닌 친환경 신소재 바이오폴리머를 흙과 혼합한 재료를 활용하여 제방의 내구성을 강화하기 위한 연구가 수행되고 있다. 이에 안동하천실증연구센터에서는 현장토를 사용하여 높이 1 m, 폭 3 m, 사면경사 1 : 2, 총 길이 5 m 의 중규모 제방모형을 제작하였으며, 공동연구기관인 카이스트에서 개발된 바이오폴리머와 흙을 적정 비율로 혼합한 바이오-소일을 제방 전면에 일정 두께로 피복하여 월류 발생에 따른 제방 안정성 평가 실험을 수행하였다. 1차 실험은 흙 제방 조건이며, 2 3차 실험은 제방 표면에 5 cm 두께로 신소재가 피복된 조건으로 안정된 결과 도출을 위해 반복 실험을 수행하였다. 제방 천단면 및 사면에서의 유속분포를 측정하기 위해 드론 및 비디오카메라를 활용한 LSPIV 기법을 적용하여 실험조건에 따른 표면유속과 월류 흐름이 제방 붕괴에 미치는 영향에 대해 비교분석하였다. 또한 그래픽 소프트웨어를 이용한 픽셀기반 영상분석 기법을 적용하여 시간에 따른 제방사면의 붕괴면적을 산정하여 신소재 피복에 따른 붕괴 지연효과 분석을 통한 신소재 활용 제방의 현장 적용가능성 및 안정성을 평가하였다. 본 연구결과, 흙 제방의 경우 월류 흐름 발생 직후 침식현상이 전개되어 유속분포가 집중되고 있었으며, 이후 발생하는 강한 수직흐름으로 인해 입자추적을 통한 분석이 더 이상 불가능하였다. 신소재 제방의 경우 월류 흐름 발생 직후 침식은 발생하지 않았으며 일정시간동안 유속분포가 유지되었다. 지속적인 월류 흐름으로 인해 제방 끝단에서 침식이 발생하였으며 이때 최대 유속은 3.3 m/s 로 나타났다. 또한 픽셀기반 분석을 통해 30초 단위로 표면손실률을 산정한 결과, 신소재 활용 제방(2, 3차)의 경우 같은 실험조건에도 불구하고 최종 붕괴시간은 약 3배의 차이를 보였으며, 양생 과정에서의 크랙 발생을 최소화한다면 월류 발생 시 상당한 붕괴지연효과가 있는 것으로 판단된다.

The strength of concrete is affected significantly not only by the internal influence factors of cement, water, sand, aggregate, and admixture, but also by the external influence factors of concrete placement delay and curing temperature. The objective of this research was to predict the concrete strength considering both the internal and external influence factors when concrete is placed at the construction site. In this study, a concrete strength test was conducted on the 24 combinations of internal and external influence factors, and a neural network model was constructed using the test data. This neural network model can predict the concrete strength considering the external influence factors of the concrete placement delay and curing temperature when concrete is placed at the construction site. Contractors can use the concrete strength prediction neural network model to make concrete more robust to external influence factors during concrete placement at a construction site.

To control chloride attacks which is a representative deterioration in RC(Reinforced Concrete) structures, many studies have been conducted. Above all, a method using mineral admixture was known to be effective for corrosion protection. In this study, durability test about chloride attacks was carried out for concrete specimens containing FA(Fly Ash)-representative concrete mineral admixture and OPC concrete specimens considering 3 different levels of W/B(Water to Binder). Accelerated chloride diffusion coefficient tests referred to Tang's method, total passed charge tests referred to ASTM C 1202, and compressive strength tests based on KS F 2405 were performed at each target age day. Also, based on previous studies of 28 days, time-parameter which is a key parameter for diffusion behavior is evaluated and its relations with compressive strength at the age of 365 days is evaluated. After the age of 49 days, chloride resistance of FA concrete is much improved than that of OPC concrete, which arose out of stable hydrates due to pozzolan reaction of fly ash. Time-parameter of FA concrete is evaluated to be about 1.5 times larger than that of OPC concrete. Also, time-parameter of FA concrete has a linearly decreasing relation while that of OPC concrete has a linearly increasing relation with compressive strength development.
