In order to solve the problem of low early-age compressive strength of high volume fly ash concrete. This paper studies the effect of 2% sodium sulfate (Na₂SO₄) as a chemical activator on the paste with 40% fly ash content and a water-binder ratio of 0.30. The results indicate that the addition of Na₂SO₄ can effectively improve the early-age compressive strength of the fly ash-cement system, and the strength improvement rate on the first day reached nearly 70%. In addition, calorimetric analysis reveals that the incorporation of Na₂SO₄ promotes the early hydration of cement and fly ash, increases the cumulative hydration heat and delays the heat peak of the aluminum phase.

This study is conducted to provide a method to estimate the setting time and early age compressive strength using D type durometer.Test results indicated that the use of D type Durometer attached with modified needle, which was designed to secure improved accuracy in setting and compressive strength, enables to estimate setting time and the compressive strength at early age.

This study evaluated the compressive strength after making mortar with low cement composition for carbon-neutral steam curing to respond to climate change. Blast furnace slag, fly ash, and ultra-high powder fly ash were used as substitutes for cement. The cement substitute was used at 40% of the mass of cement, and after steam curing, the compressive strength was measured on the 1st, 3rd, 7th and 28th days of age. As a result of the experiment, at the age of 1 day, the mixture using only cement showed the highest strength, but from the 3rd day, the specimen using ultra-high powder showed a high strength development rate, followed by blast furnace slag and fly ash.

Prestressed composite girders provide efficient composite action by applying prestress to the sub-encasing concrete. In this study, an enhanced prestressed composite girder with forms suspended from the steel girder is utilized. Long-term behavior of the prestressed composite girder is estimated using age-adjusted effective modulus method, which is verified experimentally using measurements obtained from an in-service bridge. Then, parametric study is carried out to investigate the influences caused by ambient temperature, humidity, prestressing and concrete casting date.

This paper is to present the strength estimation of the cement mortar incorporating 20% of fly ash by equivalent age method. ASTM C 1074 was applied to achieve apparent activation energy($E_a$). Cement mortar was cured at the temperature of $5^{\circ}C$, $20^{\circ}C$ and $35^{\circ}C$ respectively to measure the setting time and compressive strength at designed age. According to test results, it is found that an increase in curing temperature resulted in an acceleration of setting time. $E_a$ was achieved to 34.75 KJ/mol. It was also found that by estimating strength development with Plowman and Gompertz model, good agreement between calculated value and measured one was achieved.

In this paper, tests are carried out in order to investigate the strength development of concrete under various binder types, W/B and curing temperature ranged from $5{\sim}20^{\circ}C$. Fly ash and blast furnace slag were incorporated by as much as 30%, respectively. Strength development of concrete are estimated using Logistic model and strength ratio of concrete at 28days to that at early age are also investigated. According to experimental results, it is found that good agreements are obtained between measured values and calculated ones using logistic model below $20^{\circ}C$. Strength ratio of concrete at 28days to that at early age increases in case W/B decreases and curing temperature increases. Tables and graphs for strength ratio of concrete are provided in this paper. It is capable of obtaining and predicting the periods to attain design strength by considering increment factor of strength easily with the table and graphs presented in this paper. This paper presents the reference data to decide removal time of form, time to reach target strength and strength inspection of remicon whether the test specimens meet the specified criteria of compressive strength. Multi regression models with respect to the relationship between 7days compressive strength and 28 days compressive strength depending on W/B and admixture types are presented.

The purpose of this study is to analyze concrete characteristics by admixing agent and additive contents according to the change of unit-water to identify its effect on compressive strength. First of all, as for flesh concrete, overall unit-water showed a tendency to decrease as component inclusion rate of admixing agent was increased. In addition, air content showed a tendency to increase by increasing WR, WB, NP series admixing agent contents, on the other hand, the change of air content was gentle by around $1.5{\pm}0.5%$ for S, T, M series agents. Bulk density showed an inverse proportion to the change of air content. As for hardened concrete, expression rate of 3-day age compressive strength was generally decreased for S, T, WR, WB, NP, M series admixing agent component. Also, expression rate of 7-day age compressive strength showed an excellent record for S, M series agents, and expression rate of 28-day age compressive strength showed a tendency to increase more than plain on the whole.

The aim of the research is to suggest the compensating strength values depending on various managing periods of concrete based on the strength development model calculated with equivalent age method for OPC 100 % concrete. As a result, for 28 days of managing period, 6, and 3 MPa of compensating strength values were suggested when the temperatures were from 4 to 9℃, from 9 to 17℃, respectively. Additionally, for 42 days of managing period, 3MPa of compensating strength value was suggested when the temperature was from 4 to 10℃, and for 56 days of managing period, 3 MPa of compensating strength value was suggested when the temperature was from 4 to 5℃. Furthermore, for 28, 42, 56, and 91 days of managing periods, any compensating strength values were needed when the temperature were higher than 17, 10, 5, and 4℃, respectively.

This study reviewed the characteristics of concrete made of performance improving mixture materials based on KOH as a means to resolve the problems of initial quality reduction that result in concretes with blast furnace slag powder. Summarizing the results, first as the characteristics of fresh concrete, liquidity was found to reduce in general with increased BS substitution ratio. Objective range of liquidity was not satisfied in all mixes according to the use of performance improving mixture materials. Air capacity was satisfied to the objective range in all mixes. As the characteristics of hardened concrete, while compressive strength showed a decreasing trend with increasing BS substitution ratio at early age, increasing trend was shown by the plain with increasing BS substitution ratio at later age. On the other hand, K1 and K2 were only effective among mixture materials at early age, but K1F30 showed excellent strength at both early and later ages.

This study analyzes the characteristics of somatotype changes of girls from the ages of 13 to 18 that provide basic data on clothing construction for middle and high school girls. We use data obtained from body measurements of 1,590 adolescent girls 13 to 18 years of age provided in the 6th national anthropometric survey report. The differences among the age groups for 56 direct measurements were analyzed by ANOVA, and the structures of the differences by SNK (Students-Newman-Keuls test) were analyzed. The two major growth ages were 'ages 13-14' and 'ages 15-16'. The first major growth ages focused on all measurement items of height, length, circumference, breadth, depth and other items. The second one focused on measurement items of height and length of torso, circumference, and breadth of lower body. The major growth pattern of the age groups was 'ages 13<14&15<16&17&18' which appeared focused on the height and length items of upper body and torso, the width items of lower body and the circumference items of upper body and lower body. The measurement items of front length like waist front length, N.P. to B.P to waistline, N.P. to B.P., and B.P. to B.P. showed the growth pattern for 'ages 13<14<15<16<17&18'.
