The purpose of this study is to investigate the possibility of Garnet powder as admixture of high strength concrete. The experiment condition is unit water content 160kg/㎥, W/B=30, 35%, S/A=40, 42, 44% and the cement was replaced with Garnet powder to 0, 10% of cement weight on making specimens. The mechanical properties of the fresh and hardened concrete were given as follows. As the time elapsed, the slump loss of 10% replaced concrete was considerably lower than that of 0% replaced concrete. In compressive strength, the 10% replacement case was nearly the same or somewhat high.

The purpose of this study is to examine the resistance of water-permeable concretes to freezing and thawing action. The water-permeable concretes with cement-aggregate ratio of 1:5.5(by weight) and two kinds of admixture content [SP : superplasticizer(0, 1.0%), HPAE : high performance air entraining agent(0.5, 1%)] used OPC(ordinary portland cement) as binder were prepared, and then tested for relative dynamic modulus of elasiticity, mass change, length change and durablity factor. It's been concluded from the test results that the superior relative dynamic modulus of elasiticity and durability factor of water-permeable concretes were obtained at superplaciticizer 1.0% after 300 cycles. The water-permeable concretes used superplasiticizer 1.0% having relative durability factor of 88% after 300 cycles.

To improve the quality of concrete, we usually consider the reduction of water/cement ratio, the increase of concrete cover depth and the use of mineral admixtures. Reportedly, the use of admixtures make concrete more durable and tighten against water. But, it is needed to study more about the relationship between the admixtures and the chloride ion diffusion. Therefore, in this study, we focused on the chloride ion diffusion properties of the pozzolanic admixtures such as fly-ash, slag and silica fume which are known as being useful on chloride attack resistance when mixed into mortar or concrete. Furthermore, we treed to analyze the correlation between mortar and concrete using the admixture, which is useful for analyzing chloride ion diffusion mechanism.

The corrosion protection methods of reinforcing steel in concrete are the various methods such as increasing thickness of cover concrete, using of reinforcing bars coated with epoxy, dosage of corrosion inhibitor as concrete admixture, cathodic protection method and etc. In this study, the performance of corrosion protection was investigated for the test specimens using corrosion inhibitors and cathodic protection, respectively. For this purpose, the accelerated corrosion tests for reinforcing steel were conducted according to the periodic cycles(140 days) of wetting($65^{\circ}C$, 90% R.H) and drying period($15^{\circ}C$, 65% R.H) for the test specimens. As a result, it can be concluded from the test that the effect of corrosion inhibitor was found to be variable with products, the cathodic protection method was found to be independent of salt concentration in concrete.

The objective of this study makes investigation into the effect on the properties of underwater antiwashout concrete. which is followed by mixing time and mixing quantity. There is an tendency that (the compressive strength of underwater antiwashout concrete made and cured in fresh water or sea water) is increase when dry mixing time, mixing quantity, total mixing time is increase as unit weight grows. The difference of compressive strength (in case of no dry mixing time and 60 second) is averagely 46.8kgf/㎠ in the fresh water and 35.6kgf/㎠ in sea water. it's considered that dry mixing is dispersed by underwater antiwashout admixture.

Nowadays the three major commercially available of organic chemical admixtures are modified lignosulfonates(LS), sulfonated naphthalene-formaldehyde resins (SNF) and sulfonated melamine-formaldehye (SMF). In this study, various sulfonated melamine-formaldehyde (SMF) superplasticizers were synthesized via four synthetic steps. Hydroxymethylation (Step 1), Sulfonation (Step 2), Polymerization (Step 3) and Neutralization and Stabilization (Step 4). In this synthesis of SMF, reaction conditions such as the mole ratio of melamine to formaldehyde and the amount of acid catalyst were changed. After application of SMF superplasticizer to cement paste and mortar, the physical properties including workability, slump loss, compressive strength were compared.

This experimental study investigate temperature dependency affecting setting and strength development of concrete using mineral admixtures such as CKD, FA and BS. For the properties of setting at $5^{\circ}C$, setting time of concrete with mineral admixture was delayed about $3\~14$ hour compared with that of plain concrete. Use of CKD had a desirable effect on reducing setting retard under $5^{\circ}C$ because of $CaCO_3$ of CKD while use of FA and BS retarded setting time greatly. For compressive strength under $5^{\circ}C$, concrete with CKD had the most compressive strength in early age compared with the other mineral admixtures but exhibited slight strength loss in $-5^{\circ}C$ at 28days. Especially, concrete with FA and BS was observed in early stage at low curing temperature because of strength loss remarkably in $-5^{\circ}C$.

The purpose of this study evaluates possibilities of waste phosphogypsum into concerts by steam curing admixture. The waste phosphogypsum is made use of 4 forms(Dehydrate, $\beta$-Hemihydrate, III-Anhydrite and II-Anhydrite) which were changed to in low temperature of calcination. The penetration depth and compressive strength of cement mortar are investigated to evaluate the chloride ion and carbonation resistance. As a result, chloride ion and carbonation resistance of cement mortar admixed with waste phosphogypsum are more excellent than cement mortar contained OPC alone. The internal pores of cement mortar are decreased by using waste phosphogypsum, because the hydrates of ettringite which is denesified in structure is much formed in early ages at steam curing. These densified effect is concluded with improving the resistance to attack of cement mortar including waste phospogypsum.

This paper investigates the shrinkage behavior of Ultra High Strength(UHSC) having three water-to-cementitious material ratio, 0.20, 0.16, 0.12. All of mixtures have same design compressive strength. Free shrinkage test for autogenous and drying shrinkage using $100{\times}100{\times}400$ prismatic specimen was conducted. On all mixture, Effects of fly ash and blast-furnace slag on each shrinkage test results were also investigated. The largest portion of autogenous shrinkage was observed in UHSC12 (w/b=0.12) and the measured strain was as high as 80% of the total drying shrinkage strain. The autogenous shrinkage of UHSC decreased as the amount of fly ash increased as demonstrated in the literature. However, the results of the effect of blast-furnace slag on autogenous shrinkage were somewhat different from previous researches.

Waste concrete powder(WCP) is a secondary by-product generated while processing waste concrete manufactured to coarse and fine aggregates for concrete. In order to assess the possibility of using WCP as admixture for self-compacting concrete, self-compactability, compressive strength and durability of self-compacting concrete containing waste concrete powder were investigated. Experimental results of this study appeared that in case of SCC mixed with WCP only, self-compactability and compressive strength decreased with increasing mixing ratio of WCP. When Blast-furnace slag(BFS) was added to SCC, self-compactability and compressive strength for a unit amount of cement increased. Also, SCC containing 15% BFS and 15%, 30% and 45% WCP, the dry shrinkage and carbonation depth appeared a tendency to decrease with increasing mixing ratio.
