When building with concrete in cold weather, an insulation method of heat curing must be determined, and a holistic curing plan that considers the characteristics of structures, the heat loss coefficient of a curing sheet, the joint condition of the curing materials and the quantity of heat produced by a heating apparatus is an essential prerequisite for protection against early frost damage. But on a number of national construction sites, there have been serious problems in cold weather concreting due to the unreliability of the information obtained from practical experience. In the construction field in Japan, there is a specification for heat curing prepared by Japanese Architectural Society, which provides an equation for calculating heat quantity. It is also necessary to adopt a detailed specification for a standard heat curing method that is applicable to all national construction sites. In this study, the effect of bubble sheets on the economic feasibility of cold weather concrete is investigated through a comparison with the blue sheets commonly prescribed in national construction sites. In conclusion, this study found that bubble sheets had the effect of reducing the cost of curing materials and the fuel cost consumed by a heating apparatus, compared to the use of blue sheets.

This paper is about a research of steam curing which is one of the curing methods for accelerating the early-age strength of pre-cast concrete. With cylinder mold and mock-up specimen, the research was executed to study the best cycle of steam curing temperature through quantifying cycle of steam curing and maximum temperature, while the required strength is developed under the early-age. Moreover, causes and measurements for the high temperature of concrete, which is due to the steam curing, and the crack, which occurs when removing steel form, are stated. Ultimately, the economical method of producing, which satisfies early-age strength development and quality assurance while manufacturing PC structure, is stated.

A geo-composite soil (GCS) is a stabilized mixture of bottom ash, cement and dredged soil. Various samples with different mass ratios of mixtures were tested under curing time of 7 and 28 days to investigate physical properties and compressive strength. This paper focused on the effect of bottom ash on the strength characteristics of Busan marine dredged soil. Cement has been added as an additive constituent to enhance self-hardening of the blended mixture. The unconfined compressive strength of GCS increases with an increase in curing time due to pozzolanic reaction of the bottom ash. The strength after 28 days of curing is found to be approximately 1.3 to 2.0 times the strength after 7 days of curing, regardless of mixture conditions. The secant modulus of GCS is in the range of 55 to 134 times the unconfined compressive strength. The correlation of unconfined compressive strength with bottom ash content and initial void ratio are suggested.

In this research, the characteristics of the strength development and chloride attack resistance on the concrete using high early strength cement by steam curing temperature condition were studied. As a result, It is observed that the early strength(16hr) is increasing and the strength of 28 days is decreasing, according as the rising of the steam curing temperature without the kinds of base cement(OPC and high early strength cement). On the other hand, it is observed that the more the contents of the unit binder(base cement + GGBF) is abundant, the more the steam curing temperature can be reduced in case of the high early strength. Also, the chloride attack resistance is improved according as the amount of GGBF is increased with the kinds of base cement(OPC and high early strength cement).

We made a new propellant formulation to improve the productivity of Base Bleed Unit(aka BBU) by reducing of the curing time. We made an experiment with new propellant formulation such as binder characteristics and manufacturing process. In addition, we already tested several basic characteristics and the final performance of the new propellant. According to the test report, it was not only satisfied with all requirements in the specification, but it also contributed to improve productivity and reduced 53% of the curing time.

The UV curing method is a popular process for lens molding on a unit wafer. This process, however, has several drawbacks including wafer adhesion during the ejection process after curing, errors in lens shape and wafer warpage due to material shrinkage during the curing process, and lens centering errors on both sides of a wafer. Among these, the lens shape error and warpage are influenced directly by the UV curing process due to factors including the UV radiation uniformity, the degree of cure according to UV intensity, and the shrinkage characteristics of the material. Therefore, a theory is needed not only to understand the change in the material characteristics, such as the shrinkage rate due to the curing reaction, but also to establish a model. In addition, an analysis system is needed to realize the model. This study proposes a new analysis method for the wafer lens molding process by Comsol modeling. This method was verified by comparing the results with those of the actual process.

In this study, the clay samples collected in the area Mokpo carry out laboratory soil test. Under three different curing $temperature-20^{\circ}C,\;50^{\circ}C,\;80^{\circ}C$ and 4 terms of curing day -1day, 7days, 14days, 40days for each, the remolded and reconsolidated samples had been made. To find out an aging effects and geotechnical characteristics between undisturbed samples and reconsolidated samples, laboratory tests were preformed. In the results, it was found that mechanical properties of undisturbed natural samples were similar to high temperature reconsolidation clay. The curing temperature influence on simulating aging effect more than the curing day does and the best curing condition are $80^{\circ}C$, 27days.
