Up to now, many researches have been performed md verified that many properties of concrete can be improved by using mineral admixtures such as blast furnace slag, silica fume, and expansive admixture. But it is not clear whether there is any need for entraining air to make a high strength concrete using expansive admixture and mineral admixtures to insure enough freeze-thaw resistance. this paper presents the strength and durability properties of high strength concrete using expasive admixtures and industrial by-products. It was observed from the test results that very high strength concrete$(W/B=20\%)$ is not needed to be air entrained and high strength concrete$(W/B=30\%)$ using expansive admixture and mineral admixtures is needed to be entrained $2\~4\%$ air.

The use of admixture(PNS type & PC type) played a important role in the development of rapid hardening concrete. This paper presents an experimental study on the effect of a kinds of admixture on hydration characteristics, mini slump, apparent viscosity of fresh cement pastes and workability, compressive strength properties of hardened concrete for rapid hardening. Measurements have showed that their characteristics depends on the type of the admixture. As a result, the excellent quality was obtained, also being widely used for the construction field is expected.

The construction of modern society, the use of high-strength concrete structures is becoming frequent. Admixture has been reported as a factor causing the explosion occurred. This study was experimental research on high strength concrete according to the kinds of admixture. Admixture of four different mix. fire resistance test results are outstanding when using blast furnace slag aggregate. When using silica fume spalling phenomena were most violent.

Admixture materials are used in mixing concrete or mortar to improve quality and performance of the concrete. This study examines the potential use of talc as a substitute for cement, the benefits of recycling waste resources for economical efficiency and quality improvement of concrete. The test was carried out by replacing the plain mix with fine grains of talc at the rate of 10%, 20%, and 30%. Talc was divided into three groups depending on the degree of pulverizing. For wet concrete, porosity, slump, bleeding per unit, and setting time by penetration resistance were measured; similarly, for dry concrete, strength and watertight Property were tested. Test results showed that the amount of bleeding and setting time could be shortened, but the strength and watertight proofing severely deteriorated. However, at the replacement rate of 10%, talc showed equal performance with the plain at all degrees of pulverization, which suggests its potential use as admixture material.

PURPOSES : The purpose of this study is to evaluate the durability of ternary blended concrete mixtures adding ultra fine admixture. METHODS : From the literature review, crack was considered as the main distress failure criterion on concrete bridge deck pavement. To reduce the initial crack development due to drying shrinkage, CSA expansion agent and shrink reduction agent were used to ternary blended concrete mixtures as a admixture. Laboratory tests including chloride ion penetration test, surface scaling test, rapid freeze & thaw resistance test, non restrained drying shrinkage and restrained drying shrinkage test were conducted to verify the durability of ternary blended concrete mixtures. RESULTS : Based on the test results, proposed mixtures were verified as high qualified durable materials. Expecially initial drying shrinkage crack was not occurred in ternary blended concrete mixtures with CSA expansion agent. CONCLUSIONS : It is concluded that the durability of proposed ternary blend concrete mixture was acceptable to apply for the concrete bridge deck pavement.

PURPOSES : This study is to evaluate ASR(alkali silica reactivity) resistance of ternary blended binder adding ultra fine mineral admixture. METHODS : This study analyzes ASR expansion using ASTM C 1260 and 1567. RESULTS : This study showed that the fineness of mineral admixture had no effect on ASR expansion. The expansion of ternary blended binder(UFFA 20%+FGGBS 10%) were below 0.1%, and this binder met the ASR standard. Also when adding the CSA expansion agent, ASR expansion slightly decreased. The expansion of latex modified mixture increased by 80% comparing plain mixture. CONCLUSIONS : Ternary blended binder met the ASR standard, and this binder is available in concrete bridge deck overlay.

Nowadays, as to increased the workability of the press concrete and decrease the cracking, the fiber-reinforced admixture has been widely used. As the low adhesion force between the paste and fiber-reinforced admixture, it was considered as could not be used in the structure. Even more, as the loss of flowability and the exposure of the fiber, further study is needed. In this study, as the different environment and position of the building, the dosages of the fiber-reinforced admixture has also been changed. The fundamental properties and cracking of fiber-reinforced concrete have been tested.

In this study, the mixing performance of concrete was studied by setting the chemical admixture and mixing time as variables. As a result of the indoor experiment and batch plant review, the mixing time reduction performance was confirmed when the PC-based admixture A was used.

The study investigates the effects of the content and using method of chemical admixtures such as superplasticizer and viscosity modifying admixture on the fluidity, bleeding ratio, volumetric change and compressive strength of the grout in order to provide basic data for the development of high-quality grout for prestressed concrete. It appeared that the combination of superplasticizer and viscosity modifying admixture decreased the fluidity of grout with small content of superplasticizer. On the contrary, Grout used more than 0.1% of superplasticizer appeared to have significant effect on the improvement of the fluidity. On the other hand, bleeding of grout reduced according to increasing the content of viscosity modifying admixture. Superplasticizer with less than 0.05% had practically no effect on the reduction of bleeding, whereas superplasticizer with more than 0.1% appear to have significant effect on the reduction of bleeding. Also the combination of superplasticizer with 0.15% and viscosity modifying admixture with 0.15% resulted in satisfactory fluidity accompanied with fair reduction of bleeding and shrinkage of the grout.

In this study, the performance of Poly-Naphthalene Sulfonate (PNS) type-admixture used widely in South Korea and Polycarboxilic type-admixture(i.e., WF2000) developed in the J company of the domestic, for precast concrete products produced in the factories, was evaluated. With the 20% reduced usage of WF2000 compared to PNS type-admixture, workability was considerably improved due to high water-reducing ratio, accelerating effect of concrete setting and accelerant dispersant action, which the product has, under the high temperature. In addition, the development of initial and long-term strengths of PHC plies was predominant. For WF2000, it is also possible to correspond with the change of original materials and environmental conditions since the control of water-reducing and supporting forces is feasible. Accordingly, it was noted that WF2000 is superior for deterioration of production & workability and bad casting problems in summer and the solution of initial strength reduction problem due to the delay of setting in winter.
