The high-flowing concrete requires additionally or excessively more expensive admixture than conventional concrete. So, the concrete has not to be widely used in practical field due to the increase of production price, need of additional facilities, and excessive development of concrete strength in associate with addition of too much cementitious material even though it has more significant advantages than conventional concrete. Thus, this study aims at developing high-flowing concrete with general strength unlike high strength which has been carried out in conventional study. To observe the role of aggregate in the concrete quantitatively and to increase the performance of high-flowing concrete effectively, parametric studies were carried out such as W/C, s/a, fineness modulus of aggregate, contribution degree of particle sizes, and the effect of 13mm aggregate and fine stone powder as a partial replacement of aggregates. And the effect of these factors on performance of the concrete was evaluated by measuring slump-flow and gap of penetration height in U-typed instrument. As a result, it was found that flowability of high-flowing concrete depends upon grading of fine aggregate more significantly than that of coarse aggregate and is enhanced greatly as fineness modulus of fine aggregate decreases and the value of s/a increases. In addition, the application of 13mm aggregate and fine stone powder are expected as a partial replacement of aggregate in order to increase the performance of high-flowing concrete more effectively.

Generally speaking, the internal moisture of concrete is mainly distributed in inner part and concrete surface which is exposed are dned according to influence of temperature and humidity. So, the properties which are compressive strength, modular elasticity, and volume change are different at each part even in same concrete. This is because moisture distribution is changed according to the evaporation and move ment of moisture, exist in the inner porosity of concrete. Therefore, it is necessary that we investigate the properties of concrete according to moisture distribution. The purpose of this study is investigating correlation between the moisture content and mechanical properties in concrete. Compressive and tenslle strength decrease according to increasing moisture content, but modular elas ticity increase. Those increasing or decreasing ratio at drying ratio 100% (absolute dries) is as follows in comparative of drying ratio 0 % (saturated condition).tion).

There is an increasing demands of more efficient and economical ways of mold making according to the spreading trend of small quantity batch production system. Therefore, this study aims to examine the applicability of ultra high strength concrete, which has a compressive strength over 80MPa, as a mold material. The ultra high strength concrete has several advantages such as lower cost, lighter weight and convenience of shape making compared to the traditional mold materials. Although the strength of the ultra high strength concrete is lower than that of the tool steel, it was considered to be useful for small batch processes with relatively low pressure. Therefore, in this study, a prototype mold for reaction injection molding of polyurethane was developed using ultra high strength concrete and it was examined that the possibility and characteristics of concrete as a mold material.

The member deflection is one of the most important considerations for the serviceability evaluation of reinforced concrete structures, and the concept of the effective moment of inertia has been generally used for the estimation of beam deflections. The KCI design code adopted Branson's equation for the calculation of the effective moment of inertia, which was formulated based on the results of beam tests subjected to uniformly distributed loads. Therefore, it is worthwhile to check the applicability of the code approach on the estimation of the effective moment of inertia for the cases of beams under different loading conditions. In this study, an experimental investigation has been conducted on six beams, where primary variables were concrete compressive strengths and loading distances from supports. The test results were compared with various approaches proposed by Branson and others as well. The test results indicated that the effective moment of inertia was somewhat influenced by the moment distribution shape. Despite the different moment distribution shapes for specimens, however, the effective moment of inertia of all test beams were closely predicted by the existing methods considered in this study.

In this study, the thermal conductivity, physical and mechanical properties of lightweight aggregate concretes with hollow micro sphere(HMS) are experimentally examined as a basic research for the development of structural insulation concrete. As the results of this experiment, in the case of concrete mixed with HMS, the value of slump has been reduced, so it is found that the dosage of superplasticizer should be increased. As the replacement ratio of HMS increases, it has shown that the compressive strength is somewhat decreased due to the low interfacial adhesion strength of HMS. But the thermal conductivity is found to be greatly improved with the replacement ratio of HMS increases, the thermal conductivity of HMS shows the lower value of 68% at lightweight aggregate concrete and 32% of normal concrete. Also it is found that the compressive strength is decreased and thermal conductivity is increased as the water-cement ratio increases. The most outstanding for insulation performance is observed when using 20% of HMS and 50% of water-cement ratio.

Concrete is the most widely used construction material. The heavy self-weight of concrete may offer an advantage when developing high compressive strength and good dimensional stability. However, it is limited in the construction of super-long bridges or very high skyscrapers owing to the substantially increased self-weight of the structure. For developing lightweight concrete, various lightweight aggregates have typically been utilized. However, due to the porous characteristics of lightweight aggregates, the strength at the composite level is generally decreased. To overcome this intrinsic limitation, this study aims to develop a construction material that satisfies both lightweight and high strength requirements. The developed cementitious composite was manufactured based on a high volume usage of hollow glass microspheres in a matrix with a low water-to-cement ratio. Regardless of the tested hollow glass microspheres from among four different types, compressive strength outcomes of more than 60 MPa and 80 MPa with a density of 1.7 g/cm³ were experimentally confirmed under ambient and high-temperature curing, respectively.

This research is to reduce the formwork leakage of high-fluidity concrete caused by insufficient accuracy of formwork fabrication widely used for high-fluidity concrete to general strength concrete. However, in the actual construction site, because of the insufficient accuracy of formwork fabrication may cause leaking concrete of mortar through a gab of the formwork. Therefore, in this research, which builds on previous research into providing thixotropy with PVA and Borax, the use of thixotropy to reduce high-fluidity mortar leakage was evaluated. The results of the experiment proved that the use of thixotropy with PVA and Borax can contribute to reduction of the formwork leakage of high-fluidity mortar. This finding is expected to lead to further research on reducing leakage of high-fluidity concrete.

This paper presents the tension stiffening behavior from experimental results of each 6 amorphous steel fibers and normal steel fibers reinforced direct tensile specimens with the main variables such as cover thickness to bar diameter ratio. A tension stiffening effect for steel fiber reinforced RC tension members improve on the increase in cover thickness, and also amorphous steel fiber is usually superior to normal steel fiber. The reinforcement of steel fibers controlled the splitting cracks and led to significant increase in the tension stiffening effect. In particular, if cover thickness is more than twice the bar diameter, the amorphous steel fiber reinforced specimen is controlled the splitting crack and increased the tension stiffening effect. And, the tension stiffening effect of amorphous steel fiber reinforced concrete tension members is different to current structural design code provision.
