This study is intended to develop the new concrete block for planting through investigating weight and basic physical properties, varying the shapes of concrete block for planting. According to the results, unit weight, void ratio and absorption water ratio of concrete block show 1625kg/$m^3M$ 30%, and 7.7% respectively, and pH is small, compared with non neutralization and pH is below 8.5 after 7 days elapses. The compressive strength of concrete block for planting shows 38kgf/$cm^2$ at the age of 7 days, and 50kgf/$cm^2$ at the age of 28 days respectively. As the number of the hole is many and the area of hollow is large, weight of developed concrete block for planting grow light. Weight of optimum scheme with 2 hollow is reduced by 25%.

This study is to investigate on the remaining life of reinforced concrete apartment by using the probability of a reinforcing-steel corrosion and the carbonation tendency of domestic reinforced concrete apartments by using the statistic method. The results are as follow. ·To compare with the carbonation velocity of Kishitani's formula (x=3.727{{{{ SQRT { t} }}) when water-cement ratio is w=0.6, R=1, it is founded out that the carbonation velocity is slow a little in all area investigated and inland area, and fast a bit in coastal area. ·In the influencing factors in regard to the probability of reinforcing-steel corrosion, It seems that the influence of elapsed time is more effective than that of region. Therefore, it is necessary that it makes sure of the cover depth under apartment construction in recent so far as the durability is considered.

To clarify the one body behavior of reinforcing bar and concrete, it is important to investigate bond characteristics between two materials. Bond strength is decided by applied force and interface area between reinforcing bar and concrete. And, the resultant force of chemical adhesive force, frictional force, and mechanical interaction are to be main factors. Property of concrete influences on chemical adhesive force and frictional force; bond strength is decreased by corrosion of reinforcing bar, as the result, durability is also decreased. In this study, to confirm bond characteristics with property of concrete, w/c ratio and blending of mineral admixture were selected as the main test parameters. The results obtained from this study will be used as the basic data for bond characteristics with corrosion.

The purpose of this study is to analyze water cycle area ratio and spatial evaluation of water cycle in urban area of Changwon-si, Gyeongsangnam-do. Water cycle area ratio are analyzed by using spatial data of land-cover and land-use, and Hot spot analysis of GIS program was used for spatial evaluation of water cycle. The results are as below. Firstly, the high water cycle area ratio areas were forests, parks, and rivers, but urban areas covered asphalt and concrete were low under 40%. Public institutions and co-residential of urban areas were higher than others because of high area ratio of pervious land-cover. Spatial evaluation of water cycle was analyzed to vulnerable areas there are dense residential and commercial area. These areas are really occurring frequently flooding and immersion, therefore, is required water management facilities and improvement of land-cover from impervious to pervious. In the future, it will require additionally analysis of water cycle area ratio supplemented data of water management facility and ground water.

The investigation of corrosion effects on the tensile behavior of reinforced concrete (RC) members is very important in region prone to high corrosion conditions. In this article, an experimental study concerning corrosion effects on tensile behavior of RC members is presented. For this purpose, a comprehensive experimental program including 58 cylindrical reinforced concrete specimens under various levels of corrosion is conducted. Some of the specimens (44) are located in large tub containing water and salt (5% salt solution); an electrical supplier has been utilized for the accelerated corrosion program. Afterwards, the tensile behavior of the specimens was studied by means of the direct tension tests. For each specimen, the tension stiffening curve is plotted, and their behavior at various load levels is investigated. Average crack spacing, loss of cross-section area due to corrosion, the concrete contribution to the tensile response for different strain levels, and maximum bond stress developed at each corrosion level are studied, and their appropriate relationships are proposed. The main parameters considered in this investigation are: degree of corrosion ($C_w$), reinforcement diameter (d), reinforcement ratio (${\rho}$), clear concrete cover (c), ratio of clear concrete cover to rebar diameter (c/d), and ratio of rebar diameter to reinforcement percentage ($d/{\rho}$).

This paper was peformed to verify the effect that granulated blast furnace slag gets in reinforcement corrosion resistance about chloride ion that invade from outside. An experiment accelerated for the reinforcement corrosion through repeat of brine digestion and dry. Reinforcement corrosion investigated half cell potential method of measurement by ASTM C876 and corrosion area ratio. If granulated blast furnace slag metathesis ratio is high generally that looked the corrosion of reinforcement decreasing as a result that evaluate reinforcement corrosion by ASTM C876 canon in this research. It showed high resistance about reinforcement corrosion that use normal portland cement and increase the metathesis rate of granulated blast furnace slag, as a result that evaluate metathesis rate effect of granulated blast furnace slag according to cement kind. when the test piece split destroying, area rate of reinforcement corrosion showed about result of half cell potential measurement.

Recently, to improve the load carrying capacity of column structures such as bridge piers, application to concrete-filled steel tube(CFT) type columns are increased more and more. To design the concrete-filled steel tube(CFT) columns in accuracy, influence of material and geometry properties and aspect ratio on ultimate strength of the concrete-filled steel tube column is investigated by experimental researches. In this investigation, the ultimate strength distribution of the concrete-filled steel tube column in accordance with diameter-thickness ratio(D/t) and steel-concrete area ratio(As/Ac) are clarified by the compressive tests. Futhermore, parametric experimental investigation on concrete target strength is performed. It was known from experimental observation that ultimate strength of concrete-filled steel tube column under axial compressive loading more depends on section properties of steel tube rather than concrete strength.

Reinforced concrete (RC) columns can be strengthened by direct fastening of steel plates around a column, forming composite actions. This method can increase both the total load bearing area and the concrete confinement stress. To predict the axial load resistance of strengthened RC columns, the equivalent passive confinement stress of the stirrups and the steel jacket should be accurately quantified, which requires the stress in the stirrups and shear force in the connections to be first obtained. In this paper, parameters, i.e., the stress ratio of the stirrups and shear force ratio of steel plate connectors are utilized to quantify the stress of the stirrups and shear force in the connections. A mechanical model for determining the stress ratio of the stirrups and shear force ratio of steel plate connectors is proposed and validated using the experimental results in a previous study. The model is found to be robust. Subsequently, a parametric study is conducted and the optimum stress ratios of the stirrups and the optimum shear force ratios of connectors are proposed for engineering designs.

The corrosion of steel reinforcements in concrete is of much concern in recent years. The mechanism of corrosion, however, is not clear yet. This study is focused on the corrosion of steel induced by internal chlorides in concrete at early ages. To examine the critical concentration of steel, half-cell potential, chemical composition of expressed pore solutions of mortars and rate of corrosion area were observed with respect to additions of chlorides, types of binders, water-binders ratio.
