In this paper, an analytical method which can predict the occurrence of plastic shrinkage cracking on concrete slabs with sequential placement is proposed on the basis of the numerical model introduced in the previous study. The influence of many design variables on plastic shrinkage cracking such as the number of layers and the time interval between layers is quantitatively analyzed through parametric studies using the analytical method. In advance, two equations are introduced to take into account the effect of sequential placement on the plastic shrinkage cracking of concrete slab; The first one is to calculate the time at which the surface of concrete slab begins to dry, and the second one is to determine the critical time interval to prevent the surface drying of previously placed concrete layers. The timing of curing and the sequence of concrete placement, which are important for the prevention of plastic shrinkage cracking, can be effectively planned using the introduced both equations without any rigorous analysis.

Lately, massive concrete structures are increasingly built. In such massive structures, the heat of hydration of mass concrete causes thermal cracks. To avoid thermal crack, methods widely acceptable for practical use are pre-cooling, pipe cooling and control of placing height. Thermal stress analysis is performed to find the way of controlling the thermal crack of pier footing mat in this paper. The footing mat model for the analysis is $12m{\times}14m$area and 3m height. The analysis results are compared with method of control of lift height and method of pipe cooling. The analysis results show that thermal crack can be removed by method of placing control and pipe cooling at footing mat placed on the ground.

Recently, the top ＆ down method with drilled shafts as a foundation of high rise building is often adopted for the purpose of construction period reduction and construction cost effectiveness. It is common to omit the loading test as a quality assurance on account of the high capacity of drilled shafts for the top ＆ down method. It seems that the capacity of drilled shaft in recent top ＆ down method is beyond that of conventional loading test method. However, the quality assurance for the drilled shaft as foundation of high rise building becomes much more important since the drilled shaft should bear much higher working load. A small scale test pile can be an alternative as a quality assurance for the drilled shaft with hish capacities. Through a case study, this paper gives an idea for solving the limitation of the conventional loading test method for the quality assurance of drilled shaft with high capacities. In particular, this paper analyzed the scale effect for a small drilled shaft installed into bedrock, which could be used for an alternative.

Full scale construction tests of CFT(concrete filled steel tube) column to solve construction problem and to confirm quality were performed in apartment site. To improve construction efficiency, the tests has been accomplished two stages after the tests for material mixing design had been completed. In the first stage, the experimental variables were the placing methods, existence of guiding pipe, placing velocity and drop height and the height of specimen were $3.6{\cal}m$. In the second stage, Filling steel tube of 9.6m height with concrete was performed by two ways, that is, the pump-up method and the dropping method. The filled condition of the concrete and concrete strength distribution according to the column height were checked and the quality of the CFT column was confirmed.

The concrete mix should be designed and produced to reflect the specific site conditions during concrete placement. That is, the concrete mix design should be planned considering temperatures, work environments, pouring methods, etc. The objective of this research is to understand the external factors of curing temperature and delay time that influence concrete strengths during pouring work, and provide concrete mix design that can be most robust to the effects of external factors. The Taguchi's robust method is used in preparing the concrete mix design to achieve the research objective. In a case study, an indoor concrete test was performed to find the optimal combination of concrete mixes with external factors of curing temperature and delay time. Concrete test cylinders were made to test concrete strengths given different external factors. The study results showed that the optimal performance of concrete strength can be achieved by applying the robust method when preparing a concrete mix design.

한탄강홍수조절댐의 형식은 기본설계(TK)시 지형 및 지질조건, 재료원 조건, 댐 안정성, 여수로설치조건, 친환경조건, 경제성 등을 종합적으로 고려하여 콘크리트중력심댐으로 결정하였으며, 콘크리트 중력심댐 축조를 위한 공법으로 재래식 타설공법과, Layer 타설공법을 가설비 규모, 시공성, 공기 등을 비교 검토하여 Layer 타설공법(R.C.D)을 채택하였다. Layer 타설공법은 일정 물량에 이상에 대해서는 일반 콘크리트 블록식 타설공법과 비교하여 경제성과 시공성 등이 양호하다고 할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 현재 사업 진행중인 한탄강홍수조절댐을 통한 R.C.D공법과 일반 블록식 콘크리트 타설 방법을 비교 분석하고자 한다.

PIT collector를 이용한 저변형률 건전도시험(low strain pile integrity test)은 충격에 의해 발생하는 응력파장의 특성을 분석하여 말뚝의 길이와 형상을 추정하는 방법이다. PIT시험(Pile Integrity Test)은 장말뚝인 경우와 지반저항이 큰 경우 선단부의 위치가 분명하게 확인되지 않아 해석이 불가능하다는 단점이 있으며 적용할 수 있는 대상말뚝에도 종류에 따라 제한된다. 그러나 이밖의 경우 간편성과 말뚝의 대략적인 단면형상을 파악할 수 있다는 점에서 다른 방법에 비하여 유리하다. 이 때문에 국내에서도 PIT시험의 적용 빈도가 증가하는 추세이며 지난 3~4년 동안 주로 대형 교량건설 현장의 대구경 현장타설말뚝에 대하여 적용되어 왔다. 최근 국내에서는 대구경 현장타설말뚝이 아닌 소구경 현장타설말뚝에 대하여 PIT시험을 실시하는 경우도 증가하고 있다. 현장 조건상 말뚝길이가 길지 않은 경우 시험분석결과 말뚝의 선단부가 분명하게 확인되었고 말뚝 중간부 및 하부의 necking 또는 bulging, 선단부의 단면이 확대되거나 축소되는 형상 등 다양한 단면형상을 나타내었다. 이 결과로부터 건전도시험의 효과적인 분석방안, 시간(양생)효과 등을 판단할 수 있음을 확인할 수 있었다.

본 연구에서는 케이싱을 영구부재로 사용함으로써 기존의 현장타설말뚝과 비교하여 시공 성,품질균일성,경제성, 내구성 등을 검토한다. 연구결과 케이싱을 영구부재로 사용하는 경우, 케이싱의 재사용을 위한 인발작업이 불필요하게 되고,말뚝길이전체에 대하여 케이싱을 사용한다면 R.C.D공법에 서 적용하는 슬러리공벽보호공정이 불필요하므로 시공성이 향상되는 것으로 판단된다. 케이싱을 영구부 재로 사용하는 현장타설말뚝의 지지력은 일반 깊은 기초의 지지력을 산정하는 방법과 동일하게 구해질 수 있다. 대구경의 영구케이싱이 있는 현장타설말뚝을 시공한다면 공내에 간단한 장비와 인력을 투입해서 선단부를 그라우팅방법 등으로 강화시킴으로써 선단지지력을 효과적으로 증대시킬 수 있을 것이다. 또한 케이싱 내부로부터 미리제작한 구멍을 통하여 그라우팅, 전단키(shear key) 등을 주입 또는 압입 함으로써 주면마찰력도 크게 향상될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

Concrete mix design controls the various concrete properties such as workability and strength. Fresh concrete requires workability and the hardened concrete requires compressive strength. If using the concrete from different supplier concurrently, the concrete placed can show different properties unlike originally designed. However most of construction sites place the concrete from several companies. One of the predictable problems is whether the ultimate performance of concrete achieves the originally designed performance after placing the concrete from several companies. Therefore this research aims to keep the concrete quality in the above cases. This research has been done through literature review, questionnaire and the verification at the sample construction site. A literature review describes the general characteristics and quality control of concrete and a questionnaire describes the awareness and implementation of Korean Construction Specification(KCS). The production capacity and the delivery capacity of concrete suppliers is smaller than the daily quantity required on the sample site, therefore the placing of the concrete with different mixing ratio is inevitable and it can not keep the KCS. As a conclusion, this research proposed 5 alternatives and one of them has been adopted, i.e. to unify the concrete mix design of multiple concrete suppliers.
