The purpose of this study is to prevent serious disasters in cold weather by presenting an optimal blending design for securing high early strength when placing concrete by analyzing the properties and compressive strength of concrete formulations using high early strength admixture materials.

Recently, a demand for reduction of construction cost by reducing construction period is increasing because of the slump of the construction business, the increasing price of raw-materials and the enforcement of after-sale system. As a method of reducing construction period, many construction companies usually apply a method of reducing curing period. But if they use an existing early strength cement or admixture, they spend a heavy cost on materials and there are many problems, such as a heat of hydration and a loss of workability. The purpose of this research is a reduction of construction cost by reducing construction period as a earlier removal time of form. To check up application of concrete using high early strength binder and admixture, comparative tests were carried out with concrete using an existing early strength cement or admixture such as tests of diurnal variation, setting time and compressive strength.

In ready mixed concrete factory, in case of using the high molecular additive in winter especially the liquid additive for the early strength, it is required to check the stability. In this research, the freezing and gelling characteristics of the liquid additive for the early strength is reviewed, the material and mechanical solution are proposed to that the practical quality control method will be suggested. As the result, the Freezing temperature of the liquid additive for the early strength is $-11.8^{\circ}C$, and it is the lower than the temperature at which the strength is shown. By making with sodium silicate of $37{\pm}0.5%$ designed by $SiO_2\;and\;Na_2O$ in 0.31 of mol ratio, it minimizes the gelling at the lower temperature. On the other hand, facilities for storing and supplying the material should be set at $40^{\circ}C$ so the temperature distribution is well spreaded for practical operation.

This test investigates early strength and durability of concrete using early strength type materials(cement, Polycarboxylate acid). The goal of this test is to secure the strength of 5.0 MPa in 12 hours early age and strength of 14 MPa for 24 hours correspondingly. This type of admixtures, concrete curing temperature, amount of binder and other concrete properties were confirmed by experimental factors. Comparing outcomes from two cases on using early strength type materials and common materials resulted in reducing of costs and shortening of the construction period, that determined the economical benefits of using early strength materials in construction.
