This study is focusing on mixing the foamed concrete incorporated by waste expanded polystyrene(W-EPS), investigating the physical properties and offering a proper quality control method to the field engineers. Two types of W-EPS (type A and type B) were studied. Type A (B) had globular (crushed) shape and diameter of 3-5 (1-2) mm. The results show that the flow was suddenly reduced with increasing mixing quantity of two types, but it satisfies KS F 4039 until 60 ％ of mixing rate. In general, the absorption rate was suddenly reduced with increased mixing quantity of two types especially, in type A. Apparent specific gravity was 0.36∼0.53 and reduced with increasing mixing quantify of type A. But it increased in case of type B. Compressive strength and heat conduction rate increased with mixing with W-EPS than non-mixing W-EPS but reduced with mixing too much W-EPS. Based ong the results, it is believed that mixing with W-EPS can improve the recycle of industrial wastes and produce the high quality foamed concrete.

설계 하중이 큰 대형 구조물의 기초로 많이 사용되는 현장타설말뚝은 현장에서 지반을 굴착하여 조립된 철근망을 삽입한 후, 콘크리트를 타설하여 제작되므로 복잡한 시공 과정과 현장의 특수한 지하수 및 지반 조건으로 인하여 현장타설말뚝의 내부에는 결함이 포함될 수 있다. 발생 가능한 대표적인 결함으로 연약한 말뚝 선단, 말뚝체 콘크리트의 품질 저하, 말뚝과 지반의 접촉 불량, 주 철근의 부식 등이 있으며, 이들 결함을 감지하기 위한 건전도 시험법으로 공대공초음파 검층, 충격반향시험, 충격응답시험, 감마-감마 검층법 등이 있다. 결함은 말뚝의 수평지지력을 감소시키며, 일반적으로 발생하는 비대칭단면 결함에 의한 응력 집중현상과 수평 하중에 의한 휨모멘트는 연직지지거동에 영향을 준다. 따라서 결함을 감지하고 평가하는 것이 현장타설말뚝의 품질관리에 있어 매우 중요하다.

When the concrete is cast at the sea, there are lots of restrictions in the working process being different from in land, and the concrete is suffered from the physical and chemical action in terms of marine environment. The compressive strength was measured after antiwash out underwater concrete mixed with fly ash had been cast and cured in order to produce the endurable high performance concrete, and then its characteristic was discussed by comparing one cured in air with in fresh water, and the effect of fly ash usage under the properly controled sea water temperature of $15{\pm}3^{\circ}C$ was also covered. The present work showed that the proper usage of fly ash was obtained at the condition of around 10% of substituted binder weight under the structure required the early age strength, and at the condition of over 40% if considering its durability and economy.

The most effective factors that improve sections and elongate spans of the prestressed concrete girders are shapes of sections and strengths of concretes, and the concrete strength is more influenced to enhance the allowable tensile strength on top and bottom fibers than increasing of flexural strength of girders. In this study, 60 MPa high-strength prestressed concretes were constructed at the Wonsoo Bridge where in the 1st section of expanding constructions of the Nonsan to Junjoo Expressway, the high-strength concrete was placed on the eight- 35 meters simple span IPC girders of four lanes of Nonsan direction. During casting of girder concretes, quality controls were carried out with continuing controls of surface moistures and corrections of the unit water using the air-meter methods right after batching. It was confirmed that compressive strengths of girder concretes ensure the target strength and the heat of hydrations of girder concrete were measured. Though using same materials and constructing methods, there're a wide range of strengths of each girder, so, when high-strength concretes cast in the place hereafter, a countermove should be prepared.

최근 들어 교통난 해소를 위한 도로확폭 공사나 파일항타 및 발파 등의 공사가 많이 진행되고 있으며, 이러한 경우 진동의 영향으로 콘크리트의 품질 저하에 영향을 미칠 것으로 예상된다. 이에 따라 본 연구에서는 진동과 굳지 않은 콘크리트에 미치는 영향을 평가하기 위하여 실험변수를 진동속도, 진동발생점등으로 나누어, 콘크리트의 압축강도, 부착강도를 측정하였다. 또한 응결시간을 측정하여 외부 진동용인이 응력에 미치는 영향을 평가하였다. 진동속도는 0.25cm/sec ~4.2cm/sec까지 변화시켰고, 진동가력시점은 타설 직후(0시간)부터 타설 후 2, 4, 6, 12 시간 후 에 진동을 가하였다. 본 연구의 실험 결과 진동속도 0.25cm/sec 에서는 압축 강도와 부착강도가 증가하는 반면에 진동속도 0.5cm/sec 이상에서는 압축강도는 5~12% 정도 감소하고 부착강도도 이와 유사하게 감소하는 것으로나타나고 있다. 응결시간은 0.25cm/sec의 작은 진동에서는 영향이 거의 없으나 0.5cm/sec 이상에서는 타설 직후의 진동시 응결시간이 다소 빨라지는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구 결과, 양생초기 콘크리트의 진동 허용치는 약 0.3~0.4cm/sec 로 나타나고 있으며, 이것은 앞으로 실제 구조물의 시공시 진동규제치로서 하나의 유용한 자료가 될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

Recently several researches have been conducted to develop sliding track system in which friction between concrete track and bridge slab has been reduced. This paper investigated shear load carrying capacity of lateral supporting concrete block which should be implemented to resist lateral load due to train in sliding track system. In order to evaluate shear load carrying capacity of lateral supporting concrete block, analytical model has been developed considering concrete friction and rebar dowel action along construction joint. The proposed model predicted test results on the shear load carrying capacity from literature conservatively by 13~23% because effect of aggregate interlock along crack surface was neglected. Since construction joint status is ambiguous on construction site, it can be concluded that the proposed model can be used for reasonable design of lateral supporting concrete block. Based on the proposed model, design proposal for lateral supporting concrete block has been established.

Currently in precast concrete construction, precast concrete and cast-in-place concrete with different concrete strengths are used. However, current design codes do not provide shear design methods for PC-CIP hybrid members using dual concrete strengths. In the present study, the shear strengths of beams using dual concrete compressive strengths (24 MPa, 60 MPa) were tested. The test variables were the area ratio of the two concretes, longitudinal bar ratio, and shear span-to-depth ratio. The shear strengths of test specimens were evaluated by current design methods, using an effective concrete strength (considering the area ratio of the two concrete strengths). The test result showed that when 60 MPa concrete was used in the compressive zone and the longitudinal bar ratio was low, the shear strengths of the test specimens were less than the predictions. On the basis of the results, design recommendations were provided for the shear design of the PC-CIP hybrid beams.

The application of ubiquitous technology offers many chances for improving construction management technologies. Currently the Construction System Integration Lab (CSIL) at Pusan National University is executing research on applying ubiquitous technology for better communication in the construction process. One of the research area is the implementation of RFID for monitoring the concrete pour process. The objective of this study is to collect data occurring in the process and use the data be properly planning concrete pour activities. Case study has been done on an actual concrete work. For the study a user environment was developed interfacing on internet with RFID devices that were installed in a batch plant and a construction site. The result of the test demonstrated that the RFID-based concrete monitoring can be a feasible approach for improving the communication in the construction process.

The steel pipe of steel-concrete composite drilled shafts increases the pile strength and induces the ductile failure by constraining the deformation of the inner concrete. In this research, pile loading tests were performed to analyze the field applicability of a steel-concrete composite drilled shafts. The test ground consisted of 5~7 m thick soil underlying rock mass. The test piles consisted of two steel-concrete composite drilled shafts, which were the concrete filled steel pipe piles with the diameter of 0.508 m, and a concrete pile with the same diameter. The test results showed that the boundary between the upper steel composite section and the lower concrete section was structurally weak and needs to be reinforced by using a inner steel cage. If the boundary is located in deep depth, which is not influenced by lateral load, the allowable strength of the lower concrete section increases, so an economical design can be performed by increasing the design load of steel-concrete composite drilled shafts.
