The purpose of the study was to examine basic property at the time of applying cast ('CS' below) and high fineness fine particle cement ('FC' below) as a stimulant to 20% substitution cement mortar of ground granulated blast-furnace slag ('BS' below) to settle a problem that early strength of BS mortar is lowered. The results were as follows. First of all, as a characteristic of fresh mortar, liquidity was reduced as much as BS substitution rate was increased. When substituting CS for BS 20%, it didn't have a large effect regardless of substitution rate. When substituting FC, it was reduced as much as substitution was increased. In the event of compressive strength, it was reduced as much as BS substitution was increased in early age. In age 28, it was somewhat increased by reflection of potential hydraulicity. With regard to improvement of early compressive/bending strength of BS 20% substitution mortar, when substituting CS, in early age, they were a little increased as much as addition rate was increased. When substituting FC, in early and 28 age, they were largely increased as much as substitution rate was increased. To settle a problem that early strength of BS 20% substitution mortar was lowered, CS substitution has a little effect and FC 25% substitution was similar to plain with only OPC. Therefore, when substituting FC 25%, it is expected that its quality will be improved.

Shotcrete have become a deterioration which was exposed to harmful environments. In this study, in order to evaluate the deterioration properties of shotcrete, visual examination, compressive strength, adhesive strength, microstructural analysis were investigated up to the 60th weeks of exposure. The attack solutions for test are sodium sulfate and hydrochloric acid solution with different concentrations, respectively. From the results, although the compressive strength of shotcrete specimens and the adhesive strength between specimens and rocks were high at the early immersion age, they rapidly dropped in the subsequent phases, especially in 5% sodium sulfate and pH1 hydrochloric acid solution. With continued exposure, various harmful ions penetrated into the shotcrete specimen, reacted with the cement hydrate, and generated expansion substances. It was verified that the shotcrete specimens suffered a serious deterioration by chemical attack.

One of ways to make high-strength concrete is for the mix contain particles graded down to the finest size : this is achieved by the use of fly ash, silica fume which fills the spaces between the cement particle and between the aggregate and the cement particles. And, the mix needs a sufficient workability. This is achieved by the use of a superplasticizer. This study is to investigate frost resistance of high-strength concrete at early age, with ratio of tensile strength and recovery of compressive strength, when high-strength concrete is placed in cold climates. According to this study, it is necessary to ensure 4 % of air content, 5 kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$ of tensile strength, at least, for frost resistance of high-strength concrete at early age.

In this paper, mortar mixed with tapioca starch was manufactured to evaluate the effect of tapioca starch on mortar, through evaluating the quality characteristics of mortar, the impact of tapioca starch on improving the performance and basic quality of mortar was examined. Tapioca starch tended to decrease flow by increasing the viscosity of the dough consistency of fresh mortar, which tended to reduce flow, and decreased by about 10 % as the tapioca starch mixing ratio increased by 0.025 %. In addition, the effect of tapioca starch on the compressive strength of mortar was at the same level regardless of the tapioca starch mixture at 28 days of age. However, at an early age of 3 days, the speed of compressive strength development was accelerated by mix ing tapioca starch. In addition, the effect of tapioca starch on the compressive strength of mortar was at the same level regardless of the tapioca starch mixture at 28 days of age. However, at an early age of 3 days, the speed of compressive strength development was accelerated by mixing tapioca starch. The speed of strength development improved by about 20 % when mixing 0.050 % tapioca starch. The adhesion strength improved by about 60 % when mixing 0.050 % tapioca starch, and the final shrinkage in length change decreased by 5 %.

This study analyzed the basic characteristics of concretes to develop 3 ingredients high performance concrete that displaced BS and FA, and the results are as follows. As part of fresh concrete characteristics, the flow was shown more increase than OPC with increase in admixture material displacement rate, and air amount tended to decrease with increase in admixture displacement rate. As hardened concrete characteristics, compressive strength decreased below OPC at early age with increase in BS and FA displacement rate, however at age 28 days, it was similar to OPC or increased above that. Particularly, at B30F15 with age 28 days, its compressive strength was about 15% higher than OPC

To evaluate the properties of inorganic composites using a great quantity of high-calcium fly ash generated in combined heat and power plants, high-calcium fly ash and F-class fly ash commonly used as concrete admixtures were substituted with binding materials to examine changes of fluidity and compressive strength depending on the substitution ratio for each curing temperature. According to the experimental result, CFA-mixed mortar showed a tendency to reduce its flow unlike FFA-mixed mortar as the substitution ratio was increased, but its flow loss showed smaller than FFA as time passed. As a result of examining compressive strength depending on mixing FA, FFA-mixed mortar had an optimum range within 50% when curing at ambient temperature, but it was found that the compressive strength is reduced when mixing CFA. When curing at high temperature, FFA did not relatively have a great effect on the substitution ratio, but CFA could expect a strength enhancement effect compared with 100% of OPC when using within 25% of binding materials.

This study was performed to obtain the basic data applied to use of synthetic lightweight aggregate concrete affected by alkali silica reaction. The results obtained were summarized as follows; 1. The compressive strength of type A concrete was increased with increase of curing age. At the curing age 28 days, the highest compressive strength was showed at type Band C concrete, respectively. But, it was gradually decreased with increase of curing age at those concrete. 2. The flexural strength of type A concrete was increased with increase of curing age. At the curing age 14 days, the highest flexural strength was showed at type Band C concrete, respectively. But, it was gradually decreased with increase of curing age at those concrete. 3. The correlation between compressive and flexural strength of the sample was shown highly significant only at type A concrete. 4. It was shown that the water absorptions of the type Band C were 7.0-7.8 times higher than the type A concrete. It was significantly higher at the early stage of immersed time at all sample. 5. The correlation between compressive strength and water absorption of the sample was significant only at the type A concrete.

In this study, the pull out resistance characteristics of an anchor bar to support a spillway installed in a slope are investigated by field tests. The injection materials were a cement mortar and cement milk. Unconfined compression strengths of those materials under several conditions were measured. As the result of compression test, the unconfined compression strengths of the cement mortar and the cement milk have positive proportional relation-ship with the water-cement ratio. They also have negative proportional relationship with increasing the curing time. In the same condition of water-cement ratio and curing time, the unconfined compression strength of cement milk is larger than that of cement mortar. In order to reduce the eccentricity in anchor bar during pull-out test in the field, the installation apparatus was improved by inserting a nut type of steel fixing coupling into the anchor bar. As the result of the pull-out test, the strength modification of cement milk was increased steeply at the early curing time. However, that of cement mortar was increased gradually with passing the curing time. Therefore, the cement milk has to use as the injection material for a prompt construction of anchor bar because the strength modification of cement milk is occurred at the early curing time.

In this study, to reduce the hydration heat velocity (HHV) of high-strength mass concrete at early ages, phase change materials (PCM) that could absorb hydration heat were applied, and the changes in autogenous shrinkage were investigated, as well as the relationship between the hydration temperature and autogenous shrinkage. The acceleration of the cement hydration process by the PCM leads to an early setting and a higher development of the compressive strength and elastic modulus of concrete at very early ages. The function of PCM could be worked below the original melting point due to the eutectic effect, while the hydration temperature and HHV of high-strength mass concrete can be decreased through the use of the PCM. A close relationship was found between the hydration temperature and autogenous shrinkage: the higher the HHV, the greater the ultimate autogenous shrinkage.
