The way to shorten a construction period is considered to an very important technology development element as reducing the formwork removal periods with promoting strength revelation own concrete. This study executed experiment to review usability of early strength revelation chemical admixture which is judged in ways effective with premature removal of form about concrete. Use of early strength revelation AE water reducin admixture is apperaing so that strength revelation by early hydration promotions is excellent. The results of being applied proposed work process are that compressive strength are appeared more than 5MPa within 16 hours so that removal of vertical form was possible. the concrete compressive strength satisfied with a more than 2/3 of specified concrete strength for removal of horizontal form are appeared in 42 hours of 27 MPa proportioning strength, in 36 hours of 30, 35 MPa proportioning strength so that the 6 days cycle time of concrete structural frame work is cut by 2 days as shortening delayed period in works of removing slab forms. So construction cost reductions and a construction period shortening are judged so that it is possible.

Frost damage of a storage tank for chemical admixtures caused by a low temperature in winter and quality deterioration of chemical admixtures have been often reported. However, there have been few regulations and researches related to the frost damage of chemical admixtures and facilities. Therefore, this paper is intend to investigate not only, the freezing points of chemical admixtures such as AE admixtures and water-reducing AE admixtures, etc., but also the quality variation of concrete used with chemical admixtures before freezing and after freeze-thaw cycles. According to the results of experiments, most chemical admixtures except anti-freezing agent and accelerating water-reducing AE admixtures should be kept from being frozen in low winter temperatures. However, full agitation of frozen chemical admixtures dose not cause the problems of concrete related to the quality of chemical admixtures.
