This study is experimentally investigated the effects of various steam curing parameters on the early-age compressive strength development of high strength concrete (over 40 MPa) in the precast plant production. High strength concrete are used only ordinary portland cement (type I) and water-cement ratio selected 3cases (25%, 35% and 45%). Also, steam curing parameters are as followings ; (1) Preset period 2cases (3 hours and 6 hours) (2) Maximum curing temperature 3cases ($45^{\circ}C$, $55^{\circ}C$ and $65^{\circ}C$) (3) Maintenance time of curing temperature 3cases (4 hours, 6 hours and 8 hours) (4) Maximum rate of heating and cooling $15^{\circ}C$/hr. Initial setting time and adiabatic temperature rising ratio of these concrete according to water-cement ratio are tested before main tests and examined the compressive strength development for the steam curing parameters. Also compressive strength are compared with optimum steam curing condition and standard curing at test ages. As test results, the optimum steam curing conditions for high strength concrete(over 40 MPa) are as followings. (1) Preset period ; over initial setting time of concrete (2) Maximum curing temperature ; bellow $55^{\circ}C$ (3) Maintenance time of curing temperature ; bellow 6hours. Also strength development of steam curing concrete show in the reversed strength at 28 days. It is to propose an efficient steam curing condition for high strength concrete in the precast method.

The purpose of this study is to propose a simple model to evaluate the compressive strength development of concrete with various supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) and cured under different temperatures. For the generalization of the model, the ACI 209 parabola equation was modified based on the maturity function and then experimental constants A and B and 28-day compressive strength were determined from the regression analysis using a total of 265 data-sets compiled from the available literature. To verify the proposed model, concrete specimens classified into 3 Groups were prepared according to the SCM level as a partial replacement of cement and curing temperature. The analysis of existing data clearly revealed that the 28-day compressive strength decreases when the curing temperature is higher and/or lower than the reference curing temperature ($20^{\circ}C$). Furthermore, test results showed that the compressive strength development of concrete cured under $20^{\circ}C$ until an early age of 3 days was marginally affected by the curing temperature afterward. The proposed model accurately predicts the compressive strength development of concrete tested, indicating that the mean and standard deviation of the ratios between predictions and experiments are 1.00 and 0.08, respectively.

This study is to investigate the fundamental and fireproof qualities of high strength concrete corresponding to changes in the curing factors and the PP fiber ratio. The results were as follows. For the fundamental characteristics of concrete, the fluidity was reduced in proportion to the increase in the PP fiber ratio. The compressive strength was somewhat reduced according to an increase in the PP fiber ratio. However, it had the high strength scope of more than 60 MPa at 7 days and of more than 90 MPa at 28 days. On the spalling mechanism followed by changes of the water content ratio, spalling was prevented in all combinations, except the specimen without PP fiber and subjected to 3.0% of moisture contents. When spalling was prevented at that time, the residual compressive strength ratio was 22%~41% and the mass reduction ratio was 5%~7%, which was relatively favorable. As the spalling mechanism corresponds to changes in the curing method, spalling was prevented in concrete with a PP fiber mixing ratio of more than 0.05% in the event of standard curing, and in concrete with a PP fiber mixing ratio of more than 0.10% in the case of steam curing and autoclave curing. In these cases, when spalling was prevented, the residual compressive strength ratio was 23~42% and the mass reduction ratio was 7~11%. In these results, the ease of spalling prevention in high strength concrete was inversely proportional to the water content ratio. Depending on the curing method, spalling was prevented in concrete with over 0.05% PP fiber with standard curing and in concrete with over 0.1% PP fiber with steam curing and autoclave curing.

Using superplasticizer or the methods of autoclave curing is the most typical and practical of the ways to make high strength concrete. In this study the high strength concrete piles by way of centrifugal forming and hand compacting, are put to the freezing and thawing test after the process of autoclave curing, water curing after steam curing, or stand water curing. And the relation of such piles to durability, the rate of strength decrease, and the rate of weight variation is shown. The durability of those test piles throughout freezing and thawing test proves to be comparatively sufficient in the above-mentioned curings when the piles contain a proper quantity of air. But it is also acknowledged that without A.E agent, the high strength concrete piles of autoclave curing is higher than those of the other curing in strength, but lower in modulus of dynamic elasticity and their durability factor after the test is much lower.

This study is to investigate the effect of various temperature and humidity conditions on the strength and efflorescence of alkali activated slag cement(AAS) using the red mud. As a result of examining the strength and efflorescence characteristics of AAS mixed with red mud according to the curing conditions, The compressive strength and flexural strength were the highest at 28 days, but the absorption rate, efflorescence area and soluble $Na^+$ elution were lowest in standard wet curing compared to the air curing, high temperature curing and low temperature curing.

In-place curing box for specimens is used to cure the compressive strength specimens for control in place concrete. The box if composed of insulating chamber maintaining 20$\pm$3$^{\circ}C$ of temperature, in this paper, strength and temperature history of specimens cured at in plate curing box are investigated to verify field applicability. According to test results, air temperature at measured time shows large temperature variation and below zero, whereas, inside temperature of in place curing box maintains within 20$\pm$3$^{\circ}C$ due to temperature control function. For curing condition. temperature of specimens cured at outside shows large temperature deviation. specimens lured at in-place curing box is not affected by outer temperature.

This study analyzed fire resistance characteristics of high strength concrete according to changes in curing method and PP fiber content, and the results are as follows. First in case of standard curing, spalling was prevented at PP fiber content of 0.05 % or higher. Autoclave and steam curing showed prevention of spalling at content of 0.1 % or higher. For residual compressive strength, measurement of strength for plain was impossible due to spalling phenomenon. A satisfactory trend was shown with increase in PP fiber content with the strength of about 30 MPa.

In this study, the drying shrinkage strains were compared of 24~60 MPa concrete specimens subjected to various curing conditions and measurement methods were compared. And, the applicability of the test and prediction methods were investigated. According to the results, drying shrinkage was significantly reduced in 28 day curing condition. In the sealed curing case, drying shrinkage strain from demolding time was identical to the one of the standard curing case for low strength concrete, however, drying shrinkage strain was greatly increased than the standard case for high strength case because of the effect of autogenous shrinkage. The efficient measurement was possible using the embedded gage for concrete drying shrinkage, but, the measured value by contact gage was lower than the one by the embedded gage. The test results agreed with EC2 model better than the other.
