Recently, production cost of ready mixed concrete has been increased due to the rising cost of raw materials such as cement and aggregate etc. cause by the upturn of oil price and increase of shipping charge. The delivery cost of ready mixed concrete companies, however, has been decreased owing to their excessive competition in sale. Consequently, ready mixed concrete companies began to manufacture the concrete by mixing ground granulated blast furnace slag(GGBF) and fly-ash in order to lower the production cost. Therefore, the objective of this study was to predict 28 days strength of GGBF slag concrete by early strength(warm and hot water curing method) for the sake of managing with ease the quality of ready mixed concrete. In experimental results, the prediction equation for 28 days compressive strength of GGBF slag concrete could be produced through the linear regression analysis of early strength and 28 days strength. In order to acquire the reliability, all mixture were repeated as 3 times and each mixture order was carried out by random sampling. The prediction equation for 28 days strength of GGBF slag concrete by 1 day compressive strength(accelerated testing) according to warm and hot water curing method won the good reliability.

In this study, the expansion and compressive strength tests of emergency restoration material were carried out to restore cavity causing ground subsidence. The expansion and compressive strength characteristics according to component ratio of main material - hardener and mix proportion of blowing agent - accelerator were analyzed based on the test results. As a result of the relationship of curing time - expansion ratio analyses, it confirmed that expansion ratio decreased with reduced curing time regardless of mix proportion of blowing agent - accelerator in main material, if component ratio of hardener increased. This means that component ratio of the main material - hardener had greatly affected the expansion ratio. The compressive strength characteristics of emergency restoration material confirmed that strength was affected by mix proportion of blowing agent - accelerator. Therefore, it is necessary to apply reasonable component ratio and mix proportion to consider the required injection time, expansion ratio and strength of restoration material, when emergency restoration in ground cavity is required.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of combinations of different accelerators mixed on the early age strength development of concrete of 21 to 27MPa in the curing temperature of $10^{\circ}C$ compared with existing early strength agent. The present study was assessed the early strength development of combinations of three different accelerating admixtures with early strength type agent comparing to single accelerating admixture with early strength type agent. As a result of this study, the effect of $CaBr_2+NaSCN+DEA$ combination on strength development showed better than $CaBr_2$ or NaSCN alone with early strength type agent. Therefore, we observed that concrete using $CaBr_2+NaSCN+DEA$ combination with early strength agent was achieved 5MPa 12hours earlier than use of $CaBr_2$ or NaSCN alone.

The hydration and strength of concrete are affected by curing conditions, especially curing temperature. In this paper, the hydration temperature of heated curing concrete specimen are measured by thermo-couples instead of conduction calorimeter, and strengths of concrete are tested. The results of this study show that the compressive strengths of concrete are especially dependent on the curing temperature. And the strength results of concrete agree approximately with the results of approach to the hydration process of cement concrete.

In this study, the effects of blast furnance slag cement and frost-resistant accelerator on shrinkage properties and shrinkage properties of mortar were examined. As a result, the addition of the frost-resistant accelerator to both OPC and BB has a small effect on the flash properties of mortar and the compressive strength increases from the early ages. In addition, when a frost-resistant accelerator is used in excess of the standard usage amount, it is necessary to examine the relationship of the expansion behavior at the early age, especially, between the compressive strength development and the expansion property. And it was confirmed that the addition of the frost-resistant accelerator tended to increase the shrinkage of mortar using the OPC and BB. With the addition of the frost-resistant accelerator, the amount of pores with a diameter of under the 30nm, especially, the amount of pores with a diameter of 20 to 30nm and the amount of pores with an ink-bottle decrease, and the shrinkage increases. And it is considered that a change in the amount this range of pores has a large effect on the shrinkage property.

Time dependent model for prediction of compressive strength development of concrete cured by microwave heating form was presented in this study. The presented model is similar to the equation which is given in ACI 209R-92 but the constants which is dependent on cement type and curing method in the presented model are modified by the regression analysis of the experimental data. Laboratory scale concrete specimens were cast and cured by the microwave heating form and drilled cores extracted from the specimens were fractured in compression. The measured core strengths are converted to standard core and in-situ strengths. These in-situ strengths are used for the regression.

The pulished works on Accelerated Curing Effect were generally performed around from 1960 to 1970th century for 18 to 24 hours - total curing periods. It is not possible to define the effect of temperature rise because those results were obtaine mainly by using the manually operated steam-curing tank. Thus, it may not be available to apply those data immediately on the domestic PC wall production line. The testing specimens were made from the standard mix proportion according to those of domestic PC factories to establish a basic data for the Accelerated Curing Effect. The experimental tests were conducted according to the conditions of each sub-curing periods. By comparing the results of compression tests on de-molded and 28-day water-curing specimens, we find that the most effective curing condition to obtain more than the required design strength after 28 day of water curing may be as follows: the presteaming period does not affect seriously and less than$30^{circ}C/hr$- the rate of temperature rise andless than $82^{circ}C$ - maximum temperature are necessary. It seems that post-curing procedure is very important factor to increase the effect of accelerated curing.

In this study, as the preliminary research on the development of heating concrete members, compressive strength and accelerated chloride diffusion behavior in the mortar specimens containing C₁₂A₇ based binder and anhydrite was evaluated. Also, the effect of the mixing ratio of the citric acid based retarder was quantitatively evaluated by considering 4 levels of mixing cases. The compressive strength tests of the mortar specimen were performed referred to KS L ISO 679, and the accelerated chloride diffusion tests were performed according to NT BUILD 492 and ASTM C 1202. In the mortar with 0.3 % of retarder, the highest compressive strength was evaluated, which showed the strength development ratio of 127.6 % compared to the control case. It was considered that engineering performance was improved by effectively securing setting and curing time with 0.3 % of citric acid based retarder. As the result of the evaluation of the passed charge and the accelerated chloride diffusion coefficient, the evaluation results had similar behavior with the results of compressive strength. According to the previous study, the strength behavior and the chloride diffusion behavior had a linear relationship. The mixture showing the highest strength performance had the highest durability performance for chloride ingress, and the heating concrete development from this study will be performed in the future.

This paper presents the durability characteristics of commercially available CFRP rebars under various environmental conditions. Two types of GFRP rebars were tested by using an accelerated aging method. A total of 264 rebar specimens were conditioned up to 132 days in the moisture, chloride. alkaline, and freeze-thaw environmental conditions. The durability characteristics of conditioned rebars were obtained by comparing the tensile strength, horizontal shear strength, and elastic modulus between the unconditioned and conditioned GFRP rebars. The test results indicated that the mechanical properties of GFRP were significantly reduced after conditioning. Long-term degradation of GFRP rebars was also estimated using the results of a short-term durability test.
