This study has focused on the possibility for recycling of tailings from the sangdong tungsten mine as powder (TA) of self-compacting concrete (SCC). The experimental tests for entrapped water ratio were carried out in accordance with the specified method by Okamura. The rheological measurements of cement paste were conducted by using a commercially digital Brookfield viscometer (Model LVDV-II+) equipped with cylindrical spindles, also tests for slump-flow, time required to reach 500 mm of slump flow (sec), time required to flow through V-funnel (sec) and filling height of U-box test (mm) were carried out in accordance with the specified by the Japanese Society of Civil Engineering (JSCE). The results of this study, entrapped water ratio was decreased with increasing replacement of TA. Thickness of pseudo water film was increased, and mean plastic viscosity was decreased with increasing replacement of TA. And slump-flow of SCC was decreased with increasing replacement of TA. But time required to reach 500 mm of slump flow (sec), time required to flow through V-funnel (sec) and filling height of U-box test (mm) were satisfied a prescribed range. The mechanical properties including compressive strength, splitting tensile strength and elastic modulus were checked with the requirements specified by Korean Industrial Standard (KS). The compressive strength of SCC was decreased with increasing replacement of TA, splitting tensile strength and elastic modulus were similar to those of normal concrete.

A normal and a waxy hull-less barley with similar ${\beta}-glucan$ contents were selected, and the effects of ${\beta}-glucans$ on rheological and pasting properties were investigated by using their flour extracts and isolated ${\beta}-glucan$ gum materials. ${\beta}-Glucans$ in the barley cultivars were extracted in a crude form with alkaline extraction, and the waxy hull-less barley produced more ${\beta}-glucan$ gum yield. The waxy barley also showed higher viscosities of water and alkaline flour extracts, compared to the normal barley. Both normal and waxy barley ${\beta}-glucan$ gums exhibited pseudoplastic flow behavior, and increasing ${\beta}-glucan$ concentration increased viscosity in a similar manner. The normal barley flour had a higher amylograph peak viscosity than did waxy barley flour. On the other hand, waxy barley flour with treatment of $HgCl_2$ demonstrated considerably higher increase in peak viscosity. Pasting characteristics of normal and waxy barley starches in the presence of ${\beta}-glucan$ gum solutions were tested using a rapid visco-analyzer (RVA). ${\beta}-Glucan$ gums increased the pasting viscosities of the barley starches, and the synergistic increase in viscosity appeared to be higher in the normal barley starch.

For the development of rice-derived fat replacing ingredient, low dextrose equivalent (D.E.) malto dextrin was prepared by enzyme hydrolysis, and its physical and rheological properties were studied. The molecular sizes of rice maltodextrin were measured by gel permeation chromatography on Sephadex G-50. Gel permeation column chromatograms showed a large single peak, suggesting a limited hydrolysis, and the average degree of polymerization decreased from 72.8 for 3 D.E. maltodextrin to 48.7 for 6 D.E. maltodextrin. Cold water solubility of maltodextrin was increased with increasing D.E. value and its values ranged from 47.3% to 71.3%. 8% solution of rice maltodextrin showed pseudoplastic behavior. Flow behavior index was decreased as D.E. value was increased.

A study was carried out to improve the field implementation of asphalt surface reinforcement method which is a preventive maintenance. Mean Texture Depth (MTD) was measured to quantify the surface condition and used to determine the optimum application rate. Determining the application rate using MTD can reduce the material loss from 30% to 15%. In order to reduce the curing time to 30 minutes, the heat capacity of $317kcal/m^2$ is required. Therefore, the design capacity of the heating curing device requires more than 380,000 kcal/hr. The asphalt surface reinforcement method is preferably applied at a time when slight cracking occurs before the permanent deformation becomes serious. Through the analysis of the pavement survey data, it was decided to apply the surface reinforcement method at the crack rate of 3~4%. Heating the surface reinforcement agent to $50^{\circ}C$ improves workability and ensures sufficient penetration depth even at a crack width of 1 mm. The results will be utilized as basic data for the development of automated construction equipment for efficiency improvement.
