Recently, to improve the load carrying capacity of column structures such as bridge piers, application to concrete-filled steel tube(CFT) type columns are increased more and more. To design the concrete-filled steel tube(CFT) columns in accuracy, influence of material and geometry properties and aspect ratio on ultimate strength of the concrete-filled steel tube column is investigated by experimental researches. In this investigation, the ultimate strength distribution of the concrete-filled steel tube column in accordance with diameter-thickness ratio(D/t) and steel-concrete area ratio(As/Ac) are clarified by the compressive tests. Futhermore, parametric experimental investigation on concrete target strength is performed. It was known from experimental observation that ultimate strength of concrete-filled steel tube column under axial compressive loading more depends on section properties of steel tube rather than concrete strength.

In this study, the different unit cement content by the ratio of water absorption and water-cement ratio are applied to examine the properties of the concrete used the aggregate recycled by the crushing treatment. According to the experimental results, in the mix of low strength and high water-cement ratio, both of the compressive strength is almost equal in the concrete using the recycled aggregate by the crushing treatment and the concrete using broken stones. It means that the recycled aggregate has the low effect of the amount of bonded mortar. But, in the mix of high strength and low water-cement ratio, the concrete using the recycled aggregate by the crushing treatment has 40% less of the compressive strength than that using broken stones by the effect of the amount of bonded mortar. On the other hand, after 8 weeks, the dry shrinkage of the recycled aggregate with 7% of the ratio of water absorption doubles that of the broken stones with 1% ($-350{\times}10^{-6}$), in other words $-700{\times}10^{-6}$. Thus, the dry shrinkage should be prior to any other conditions in recycling waste concrete for the aggregate for concrete. When the recycled aggregate with 3% of the ratio of water absorption is used, the compressive strength of the rich mix concrete ($450kg/m^3$ of the unit cement content) is equivalent to that of the concrete using broken stones, while in using the recycled aggregate with 7% of the ratio of water absorption, the rich mix concrete has 7% lower compressive strength than the concrete using broken stones. But, the compressive strength of the ordinary mix concrete ($350kg/m^3$ of the unit cement content) is far lower than that using broken stones.

This paper reports an evaluation method on the shear strength of interior beam-column joints composed of steel beams and reinforced concrete columns(RCS). The shear strength is generally calculated by the sum of the nominal shear resistance of a steel web panel and concrete elements. In this paper, the shear strength is calculated based on the compression strut theory instead of compression field theory. Design equations presented herein are evaluated through comparison with existing experimental results. The comparisons between experimental and calculated results show an excellent agreement.

In this study, the properties of lightweight concrete which is beneficial to cost and technique by reducing self weight of structure member was carried out basic research. The unit weight, compressive strength, splitting tensile strength test have been conducted with producting plain concrete, lightweight aggregate concrete type I and type II to check the basic properties. The compressive strength of 21MPa was obtained easily by using lightweight aggregate concrete and addition of silica fume increase the compressive strength slightly. To use lightweight aggregate concrete for civil engineering structure, systematic and rigorous studies are necessary.

The strength and freeze-thaw test were carried out in order to use recycled aggregate as crushed aggregate in concrete. The recycled concrete had a lower flexture and compressive strengths than ordinary concrete, but the inclusion of fly ash shows similar results in both concretes. The resistance of freeze-thaw was strongly influenced by W/C ratio, content of recycled aggregate and fly ash, and it was also found that the resistance was higher when W/C ratio and fly ash content was lower. and was superior when replacement level of recycled aggregate reached to 80%.

This study examines the properties of high-fluidity concrete after adding copper slag as a mineral admixture. For this purpose, the replacement ratio of cement to copper slag was varied to 0, 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50%. A slump flow test, reach time slump flow of 500 mm, and a U-Box and O-lot test were conducted on the fresh concrete. The compressive strength of the hardened concrete was determined at 3, 7, 14 and 28 days. According to the test results, the workability, compaction, and compressive strength of the high-fluidity concrete increased when replacing 30% of the cement with copper slag. These parameters decreased for all material ages with more than 30% copper slag, which was the optimal mixture ratio.

This experimental study is aimed to investigate the coating method of scoria lightweight aggregate for reo duction of water absorption and the physical dynamic characteristics of coated-scoria jightweight aggregate con¬crete. The coating methods are as follows: I) Non-coating method. II) Coating method of only cement paste. rn) Coating mehtod of surface-coating agent after coating by cement paste. IV) Coating method of only surfaee-coating agent. V) Coating method of cement pasted after coating by surface-coating agent. The summerized conclusion are as fallows ; 1) Specific gravity and the rate of water absorption were lowest when aggregate was covered by only surface-coating agent, especially, rate of absorption was about 10% of non-coating aggregate. 2) Coated-aggregate were about 0.87~0.97t/m3 and lightweight concrete made of coated-aggre¬gates were 1.80~ 1.94 t/m3 in unit weight. 3) Compressive strength of the lightweight concrete made of cement pasted-coating aggregate was about 200~215kg/crrl. 4) The higher the rate of water absorption of coarse aggregate, the higher the rate of deterioration of compressive strength.

The objective of the present study is to evaluate a practical approach for enhancing the compressive strength and minimizing deforming of aerated concrete. Test results measured in the aerated concrete mixes that were produced using 40% ground granulated blast-furnace slag (GGBS) as a replacement of cement and cured under different conditions (i.e., high temperatures of $40^{\circ}C$ and $60^{\circ}C$ for 10 hrs or 15 hrs) were compared with those obtained from the specimens cured under room temperature. No deforming was observed in the mixes with 40% GGBS. The compressive strength of the prepared aerated concrete cured under high temperature was higher than that of the concrete cured at room temperature, even at the lower ranges of the apparent dry density. However, the curing time is needed to be controlled as not exceeding 10 hrs at the temperature of $60^{\circ}C$ to prevent the decrease in the compressive strength due to foam mergences.

The application of FRP wire as a mean of improving strength and ductility capacity of concrete cylinders under axial compressive load through confinement is investigated experimentally in this study. An experimental investigation involves axial compressive test of three confining amounts of FRP wire and three concrete compressive strengths. The effectiveness of FRP wire confinement on the concrete microstructure were examined by evaluating the internal concrete damage using axial, circumferential, and volumetric strains. The axial stress-strain relations of FRP wire confined concrete showed bilinear behavior with transition region. It showed strain-hardening behavior in the post-cracking region. The load carrying capacity was linearly increased with increasing of the amount of FRP wire. The ultimate strength of the 35 MPa specimen confined with 3 layer of FRP wire was increased by 286% compared to control one. When the concrete were effectively confined with FRP wire, horizontal cracks were formed by shearing. It was developed from sudden expansion of the concrete due to confinement ruptures at one side while the FRP wire was still working in hindering expansion of concrete at the other side of the crack. The FRP wire failure strains obtained from FRP wire confined concrete tests were 55~90%, average 69.5%, of the FRP wire ultimate uniaxial tensile strain. It was as high as any other FRP confined method. The magnitude of FRP wire failure strain was related to the FRP wire effectiveness.
