In this study, mortar test specimens were produced by varying the mixing ratio of CO₂ reaction hardening cement (CSC) and general cement (OPC), and the mechanical and carbonation characteristics were evaluated by controlling the primary curing temperature and secondary curing CO₂ pressure. Under all curing conditions, it was observed that the higher the CSC ratio in the binder, the lower the mechanical properties. Specifically, a first curing temperature of 60 ℃ yielded higher mechanical properties compared to the case of 20 ℃, and a greater carbonation penetration depth was also observed. At a first curing temperature of 60 ℃, it was noted that the curing pressure and bending strength during the second CO₂ curing were inversely proportional, while the compressive strength showed a proportional relationship. This phenomenon is believed to be due to excessive carbonation, which reduces mechanical properties, and the fact that flexural strength is more sensitive to these properties compared to compressive strength. However, based on the evaluation of the limited curing conditions, it is evident that future test conditions need to be expanded and reviewed more thoroughly.

In this research, the performance of surface covering technique using a white-colored bubble sheet on reducing the cracking due to the plastic, and drying shrinkages for high rise building construction were evaluated by comparing the exposed surface without any surface treatment. From the results of the experiment conducted during fall season, desired results of decreased numbers, length, maximum width, and area of cracking were obtained without a significant difference on heat of hydration and cumulative temperature. Therefore, it is considered that the surface covering technique using bubble sheet is an appropriate method for preventing plastic and drying shrinkage cracking at fall season concrete construction.

This study examined the effects of the coarse aggregate maximum size and grading of fine aggregates to acquire the characteristics of very low shrinkage on normal strength concrete mixed in the field. In addition, the shrinkage characteristics of concrete under construction were evaluated in accordance with the curing temperature. The compressive strength and drying shrinkage tests were performed for nine mixing factors composed of the coarse aggregate size (13, 20, and 25 mm), types of fine aggregate (see sand, crushed sand, and blended sand), and curing temperatures (5, 20, and $35^{\circ}C$). To acquire low shrinkage properties under $350{\mu}{\varepsilon}$ strain on normal strength concrete, a 25 mm maximum of coarse aggregate was available, and the grading of fine aggregate affected the shrinkage of concrete. In addition, very low shrinkage properties were acquired in the curing temperature range except cold and hot weather concrete.

Fiber is an important ingredient in strain-hardening cementitious composite (SHCC), which can control fracture of cementitious composite by bridging action. The properties of reinforcing fiber, as tensile strength, aspect ratio and elastic modulus, have great effect on the fracture behavior of SHCC. But SHCC has serious problem as drying shrinkage because silica powder is used to make SHCC in order to improve bond strength between reinforcing fibers and cement matrix. Therefore, curing method (period and temperature) is very important for SHCC to show high tensile performance. a variety of experiments have being performed to access the performance of SHCC recently. This research emphasis is on the mechanical properties of SHCC made in Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), Polyethylene (PE) fibers and steel cord (SC), and how curing method affects the composite property, and ultimately its strain-hardening performance.

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.

최근들어 성능이 우수하고 품질이 높은 새로운 건설소재를 개발하려는 노력이 계속되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 고강도화 및 연성확보를 위하여 폴리머 콘크리트에 섬유를 혼입한 섬유보강 폴리머 콘크리트를 제조하여 강도 및 역학적 특성을 규명하고자 하였다. 이를 위하여 포괄적인 실험연구를 수행하였으며 주요실험변수로는 강섬유의 혼입량과 채움재(filler)의 혼입량, 그리고 양생온도를 주요변수로 선정하였다. 강섬유의 혼입량은 체적비로 0%, 1%, 2%로 변화시켰으며, 채움재와 수지의 비는 1.0과 1.5로 하였다. 본 연구결과 섬유의 혼입으로 인하여 압축강도, 휨강도, 인장강도 모두 증가하였으며, 특히 인장강도의 증가가 더 크게 나타났다. 양생온도가 증가한 경우 폴리머의 중합반응이 좋아져 강도가 증가하였다. 또한 본 논문에서는 섬유보강 폴리머 콘크리트의 응력-변형도 관계곡선을 도축하였으며, 이것은 구조설계시 중요한 기초가 될 것으로 사료된다.

At construction sites, due to the reason of inconvenience and difficulties of producing and using curing equipment and when it comes to measuring compression strength of the actual structure, strength of structure concrete according to general standards which are suggested in concrete standard specification are assessed. However, this method does not consider various variables of the sites such as kinds concretes and sizes of frame works so that it is not easy to measure proper curing period and strength. Thus, this study reviews description of strength development according to In-situ temperature system and analyzes and compares properties of strength development of the existing curing methods such as sealing curing so that it provides basic materials for period of removal of molds.

Recently, as the national policy of green growth is promoted, construction field also makes an effort to reduce CO₂ gas released when producing cement continuously. In other words, as the method solving environmental pollution and resources exhaustion, lots of mineral material compounds such as blast furnace slag powder which is industrial by-product, fly ash, red mud, etc. are examined to bo used as the substitute good of cement Therefore this study is to investigate the hardening characteristics of alumino-silicate inorganic binder using red-mud used as a accelerator of industrial by-product such as fly ash and blast furnace slag powder according to curing temperature. As a result, it is effective to use red-mud as the accelerator of inorganic binder with other additory accelerators.
