This pioneer study investigates the size effect on the compressive and tensile strengths of fiber-reinforced self-compacting concrete (FR-SCC) with different specimens, before and after exposure to elevated temperatures. 432 self-compacting concrete (SCC) specimens with two concrete grades (50 and 80MPa) and three steel fiber ratios (0%, 0.5% and 1%) were prepared and tested. Moreover, based on the experimental results, new formulations were proposed to predict the residual strengths for different specimens. A parametric study was also carried out to investigate the accuracy of proposed formulations. Residual strength results showed that the cylinder specimen with dimensions of $100{\times}200mm$ was the most affected, while the cube with a size of 100 mm maintained a constant difference with the standard cylinder ($150{\times}300mm$). Temperature effect on the cube specimen (150 mm) was the least in comparison to other specimen sizes and types. In general, provision of steel fibers in SCC mixtures resulted in a reduction in temperature effect on the variance of a conversion factor. Parametric study results confirm that the proposed numerical models are safe to be used for all types of SCC specimens.

Quality control of ready-mixed concrete is most important in the production step because, the performance of hardened concrete is revealed due to ready-mixed concrete. Hardened concrete has several properties physically. Above all things compressive strength of concrete has a greate effect in the design of structures, analysis, and durability. Compressive strength is simple predicted by w/c up to date, but there are some limits because different compressive strengths can be revealed in the same w/c. Therefore this study contributes to the quality control of ready-mixed concrete through statistical analysis for the relation between mix factors in mix design and compressive strength, predictable equation for compressive strength.

The purpose of this study is to clarify the effect of the emulsifier ratio on strength properties of the polymer-modified mortars using methylmethacrylate-ethyl acrylate(MMA/EA) latexes, and to obtain basic data necessary to develope appropriate latexes for cement modifiers. Polymer-modified mortars using MMA/EA latexes are prepared with various monomer ratios, and tested for air content, flexural and compressive strengths. From the test results, we knew that the water-cement ratio is decreased and the air content is increased with an increase in the amount of emulsifier. In general, the superior flexural and compressive strengths of polymer-modified mortars using MMA/EA latexes is obtained at a bound MMA content of 60 percent and a emulsifier ratio of 6 percent.

This study deals with the mechanical properties of polymethyl methacrylate(PMMA) mortars without crosslinking agent. Waste expanded polystyrene(EPS) is used as a multifunctional admixture such as a thickener, a extender, a shrinkage reducing agent, a assistant to polymerization. PMMA mortars are prepared with various EPS contents of binder and subjected to a dry and a dry/heat combined curing, and tested for working life, flexural and compressive strengths. From the test results, the working life of PMMA mortars without crosslinking agent is shortened with raising EPS content of binder. The flexural and compressive strengths of the PMMA Mortars are decreased somewhat with increase in the EPS content. PMMA mortars with good mechanical properties could be manufactured without any crosslinking agent and their properties would be controled by adjusting EPS content of binder.

The objective of this study is to investigate the basic properties of polyester mortars using ground calcium carbonate(GCC), blast furance slag(BFS), fly ash(FA), ordinary portland cement(OPC) as fillers. Particle size distribution, particle shape and resin absorption of GCC, BFS, FA and OPC are checked. Polyester mortars with GCC, BFS, FA and OPC are prepared with various MEKPO content and tested for working life. The flexural and compressive strengths of the polyester mortars with MEKPO content of 0.5phr are evaluated. As a test result, the average sizes of GCC, BFS, FA and OPC are 9.7$\mu\textrm{m}$, 11.6$\mu\textrm{m}$, 21.2$\mu\textrm{m}$, 29.9$\mu\textrm{m}$. Resin absorption of FA is 1.5times larger than other fillers. The polyester mortar with FA at a MEKPO content of 0.5phr has the longest working life and the maximum flexural and compressive strengths.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the adhesion of concrete pipe lining using polymer mortar. The polymer mortars with various mix proportions are prepared, and tested for flexural and compressive strengths, adhesion in tension, and the aspects of lining surface and workability are evaluated. Form the test results, it is apparent that the appropriate polymer mortars of lining to concrete pipe can be produced. The flexural and compressive strengths of polymer mortar for lining are affected by type of resin, and aggregates content, and water content at the surface of concrete pipe is important factor for improvement in adhesion of polymer mortar. It is obvious that the economical polymer mortars having an excellent cost performance ration can be produced through this study.

The purpose of this study is to examine the properties of polymer-modified mortars using asphalt emulsion. The polymer-modified mortars using asphalt emulsion with various asphalt-cement ratios are prepared, and tested for flexural and compressive strengths, water absorption and permeability, carbonation, Cl ion penetration and chemical resistance. From the test results, the flexural and compressive strengths, water absorption and permeability, carbonation and Cl ion penetration depths of polymer-modified mortars using asphalt emulsion tend to be decreased with increasing asphalt-cement ratio, and chemical resistance is improved. It is evident that polymer-modified mortars using asphalt emulsion having an excellent properties as a waterproof and finish materials can be produced.

Recent advance in material technology has accelerated the development of high strength concrete using lightweight artificial aggregates. The lightweight concrete has many advantages that the reduction of dead loads and the increase in load capacity can offer. In this study the lightweight polymer concrete using unsaturated polyester resin and lightweight aggregate were prepared and tested for testing the physical and the mechanical properties. The compressive strengths of lightweight polymer concretes with apparent specific gravity for 1.32 to 1.78 were 250 to 470 kfg/cm$^2$ and flexural strengths were measured to be in the range of 1/3-1/4 of compressive strength.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the fundamental properties of fine type cement grouts with redispersible polymer powders. Cement grouts with redispersible polymer powders are prepared with various polymer-cement ratios, and tested. for flow, water absorption, drying shrinkage, flexural and compressive strengths. From the test results, flow of the cement grouts with EVA and Va/VeoVa polymer powers decreased with increasing elapsed time. Regardless of polymer type, the flexural strength of the cement grouts tends to increase with increase in polymer-cement ratio. The maximum compressive strengths of the cement grouts are obtained at a polymer-cement ratio of $5\%$.
