This study is to investigate the temperature hysteresis and development of compressive strength due to the curing conditions and to evaluate the optimum curing condition of test specimens showing the same development of strength to that of real structures in cold weather. The results of temperature curve with curing conditions in mock-up tests showed the trend of decrease plain concrete with insulation form, plain concrete with heating, concrete with accelerator for freeze protection, and control concrete in turn. The strength development of plain concrete of inside and outside of shelter showed the very slow strength gains due to early freezing, but that of concrete with accelerator for freeze protection showed the gradual increase of strength with time. From this, it is clear that accelerator for freeze protection has the effects of refusing the freezing temperature and accelerating the hardening under low temperature. Strength test results of small specimens embedded in members and located in insulation boxes at the site are similar to that of cores drilled from the members at the same ages, thus it is clear that these curing methods are effective for evaluating in-place concrete strength

This study was performed to investigate the influence of curing temperature on the properties of light weight foamed concrete, manufactured on-site construction according to the various experimental factor such as temperature of material, curing temperature in air(5, 10, 20℃), curing time in air(5, 10, 15hour), and target density of hardened state(0.8, 1.2t/㎥). As a result, the influence of the curing temperature on various properties of foamed concrete is greater than curing time. When increasing temperature and time in air curing, progress of hydration is fast and compressive strength is increasing more and more. However, when considering the productivity, minimum curing time is required 15hours at 5℃, 10hours at 10℃, and 5hours at 20℃. If this condition is not required, there is some crack due to volume expansion on the surface of light weight foamed concrete.

The present study performed low-pressure steam curing with mortar specimens in order to examine the temperature profile and strength development of steam curing in high-strength specimens of 100MPa. In addition, as a basic research to utilize PC products, we examined the effects of curing temperature and time in steam curing cycle on strength development resulting from the hydration of cement within the range of high strength by changing four factors affecting the quality of PC displacement time, peak curing temperature, peak temperature duration, and ascending and descending gradient of temperature - in various patterns, and analyzed the optimal strength development characteristic based on the relation between temperature profile and strength development. With regard to the high-temperature curing characteristic of PC, we performed an experiment on the strength characteristic according to the temperature profile of high-strength mortar, and from the results of the experiment according to curing characteristic, displacement time, peak curing temperature, peak temperature duration, and ascending and descending gradient of temperature, we drew conclusions as follows.

In cold weather, the speed of concrete strength development is slow. As a result, construction speed becomes slow and it is problem for all construction site to solve this. So in this study, to shorten removing frame time after placing concrete, mix proportion using early-strength-binder(ESB) and curing method such as using heat line in concrete was considered. At first, concrete mix proportion was examined at -5℃ temperature between ordinary portland cement(OPC) and ESB. And second step, concrete, using mix proportion with OPC, was examined according to curing method(: 1) heat line used and 2) no heat line) and kinds of form (: 1) Deck slab, 2) Half PC slab and 3) SOG slab). All cases are same condition: slab thickness is 1,500mm, double-bubble sheet is used as a curing sheet after placing concrete. After the test, OPC is enough to get strength compared to ESB in special condition and 48~60 hours is needed according to form condition.

Recently, it is the tendency that the CO₂ gas generated in the manufacturing process is increased every year in case of the portland cement used in the most of constructions and civil engineering field. The method that uses the mineral admixtures as the cement substitute material in order to be more serious and as much as it occupies 7% of the global CO₂ gas outlet amount such as 1 ton produces the cement and it ejects the CO₂ gas of 0.4~1.0 ton, etc conclude this problem is examined. Therefore, PVA fiber was mixed into the inorganic binder recycling the blast furnace slag, which is the industrial byproduct with the purpose studying the Geo polymer which doesn't use the cement at all silica fume, red mud, and etc. In addition, the water curing temperature was differentiated and the strength characteristic of the curing body tried to be examined.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the curing effect of planar surface heater for concreting in cold weather. Some experiments were conducted to evaluate the temperature history of concrete cured with heating sheets in the laboratory conditions. As the results, It was showed that the 130W/$m^2$-heater could raise the inner temperature more than $20^{\circ}C$ under the environmental condition of -5~$-20^{\circ}C$. And the temperature of concrete cured by the 200W/$m^2$-heater was 5~$10^{\circ}C$ higher than that of concrete cured by 130W/$m^2$-heater. Finally, through the curing by the planar surface heater during the first 1.5~2 days, it is possible to secure the sufficient maturity of concrete.

In this study, we conducted a comparative analysis of the effects of resuscitation after the re-application of mortar with much FA replacement on the degree of resuscitation. Results When NaOH was applied to the top of the mortar where 90% of FA was replaced, and maintained for 24 hours, the degree of resuscitation at $40^{\circ}C$ was completely improved. However, when medium curing was carried out, it showed a higher degree of compression than water or lapping curing at 10 MPa in 28 days. The degree of resuscitation on the 28th day was revived from around 10% of the normal level to about 20~30%, and it was analyzed that it was difficult to achieve the OPC reduction by any method.

Concrete placed under hot weather condition suffers from larger slump loss, rapid moisture evaporation due to high air temperature. Proper measures for material, transportation and curing should be taken to prevent the quality deterioration of the concrete under hot weather condition. In Korea, Although the period of hot weather concrete in Korea occupies only 2 months, there are a lot of quality problems including plastic, drying shrinkage and cold joint. Therefore, the objective of this paper is to investigate and compare the temperature history and crack occurrence of the concrete, which was placed in the actual apartment house construction field under hot weather condition, in response to the application of surface covered curing blankets including PE film, single layer clear bubble sheet, white colored bubble sheet and aluminum metalized bubble sheet. Test results indicated that the application of white colored bubble sheet and aluminum metalized bubble sheet showed most favorable results in terms of reduction in temperature rise and crack occurrence as well as easiness in handling. But, due to light reflection by aluminum metalized bubble sheet, it is believed that white colored bubble sheet is preferable.

This research is part of the research for unifying the mass concrete and utilizing the rate of super retarding agent. We analyzed the performance of super retarding agent under low temperature conditions. It was found that there was no deterioration in fluidity and air quality due to the change in the super retarding agent mixing rate. It was found that when super retarding agent was mixed up to 0.5 %, it was delayed for 22.3 hours at 20℃, 48.2 hours at 10℃, and 48.5 hours at 5℃. Therefore in order to ensure the performance required at the site, the super retarding agent mixing rate must be determined by fully considering the situation at the site. In addition it will be analyzed that super retarding agent performance analysis at high temperature will be required in subsequent studies.
