In this study, analyzed the difference in compressive strength of concrete under cold conditions, using the 28-day standard curing compressive strength as a reference and examining variations based on cement types and curing temperatures. The results showed that the strength difference based on curing temperatures reached up to 9MPa at 0℃. However, as the curing period progressed, the difference in strength due to curing temperature gradually diminished. These findings are anticipated to be valuable for concrete mixing and quality control in cold weather conditions.

PURPOSES : The objective of this study is to ascertain the curing period of cementless cold central plant recycled asphalt base-layer, using mechanical analyses and specimen quality tests on the field. METHODS : Cold central plant recycled asphalt base-layer mixture was produced in the plant from reclaimed asphalt, natural aggregate, filler for the cold mix, and the modified emulsion AP using asphalt mix design and plant mix design. In order to examine the applicability of the curing period during the field test, the international standards for the possibility of core extraction and the degree of compaction and LFWD deflection were analyzed. Moreover, Marshall stability test, porosity test, and indirect tensile strength test were performed on the specimens of asphalt mix and plant mix design. RESULTS : The plant production process and compaction method of cementless cold central plant recycled asphalt base-layer were established, and the applicability of the optical moisture content for producing the mixture was verified through the field test. In addition, it was determined that the core extraction method of the conventional international curing standard was insufficient to ensure performance, and the LFWD test demonstrated that the deflection converges after a two-day curing. However, the back-calculation analysis reveals that a three-day curing is satisfactory, resulting in a general level of performance of dense asphalt base-layer. Moreover, from the result of the specimen quality test of the asphalt mix design and plant mix design according to the curing period, it was determined that the qualities satisfied both domestic and international standards, after a two-day curing. However, it was determined that the strength and stiffness after three-day curing are higher than those after a two-day curing by approximately 3.5 % and 20 %, respectively. CONCLUSIONS:A three-day curing period is proposed for the cementless cold central plant recycled asphalt base-layer; this curing period can be demonstrated to retain the modulus of asphalt-base layer in the field and ensure stable quality characteristics.

In this paper, the effects of aggregate and curing temperature on strength development characteristics of UP (Unsaturated Polyester)-MMA (Methyl Methacrylate) based polymer mortar under sub-zero temperature are experimentally investigated to provide a criterion for repair and production of precast products. The result showed that the setting time of the binder was 4 minutes at $20^{\circ}C$ whereas 35 minutes at $-20^{\circ}C$. The result also revealed that the compressive, flexural, and splitting tensile strengths of UP-MMA based polymer mortar significantly decreased as the aggregate and curing temperatures decreased. However, sufficient strengths which can be implemented in actual practices -36.6 MPa of compressive strength, 6.11 MPa of flexural strength, and 5.81 MPa of splitting tensile strength - were obtained even though both aggregate and curing temperatures were $-20^{\circ}C$. Strength development of polymer mortar is largely affected by curing temperature rather than aggregate temperature. It was found that the effects of aggregate temperature on strength development become smaller as the curing temperature becomes lower. Also, toughness, a ratio of compressive strength to flexural strength, increased from 3.5 to 5.9 as both aggregate and curing temperatures decreased from $20^{\circ}C$ to $-20^{\circ}C$.

Individual curing process of each layer in two resin composites can be caused the separation between two layers. In this study, co-curing process for two resin composites is suggested to improve the inter-layer bonding. Glass fiber reinforced composites with phenolic and epoxy resins were manufactured by co-curing process, and several types of glass/phenolic composites were considered to confirm the application on two resin composites. Experiments for smoke resistance, scratch resistance and flexural strength were carried out to verify requirements corresponding to thermal and mechanical environments. It was validated that two resin composites with phenolic resin impregnated prepreg exhibits good thermal and mechanical characteristics, and it can serve as highly effective composite structures in aerospace and many industry areas.

Epoxy, noticed as a new insulation material for electrical equipments, may become an excellent cured material from the crosslink reaction with some curing agents and accelerators. The characteristics of cured epoxy is determined by the method of lattice formation according to curing method. The purpose of this paper, varing the process of lattice formation by various surrounding temperatures and heating time during the curing process, is to obtain the optimum cured condition for electrical insulation from the results of investigation on the physical and dielectric properties of cured epoxy. In this investigation, it is found that the excessive temperature and heating time brings on the growth of metamorphic methyl and the insulating properties of cured epoxy is decreased by this phenomenon. As a result, it is concluded that the optimum dielectric characteristics can be obtained when cured at a curing temperature at 14$0^{\circ}C$ for one hour.

In this study, the heavy metals in tannery sludge were solidified by using cement and power plant fly ash. Solidification characteristics were discussed with the compressive strength and chromium leaching characteristics of solids. The compressive strength of cement mortar was increased by the amount of fly ash up to 24.3~33.8%, which was considered the results of pozzolanic reaction. When the content of fly ash was 20%, cement mortar showed the highest value $295kg/\textrm{cm}^2$ for 28 days curing. At early curing days, solidified chromium tannery sludge solids were showed lower compressive strength because of the retard on the hydration of cement, but the compressive strength was recovered to be more than $140kg/\textrm{cm}^2$ for 28 days curing regardless with the amounts of fly ash. Also, the results of leaching tests by KSM and TCLP method were showed that the solidified chromium sludge have leached out 0.3~2.2% and 11~17%, respectively.

As industry advances, the production of industrial sulfur is increasing every year. Therefore, this study intended to investigate the modified sulfur distribution and compressive strength characteristics of modified sulfur mortar based on the mixing method and curing conditions by adding modified sulfur with a melting point of approximately $65^{\circ}C$ in order to provide basic data for the application of the modified sulfur to the mortar or concrete. The results of the experiment showed that the mixture of fine aggregate and cement with water, followed by the addition of modified sulfur, would be most advantageous in terms of fluidity and strength. The results of EDS analysis also showed that the distribution of sulfur was the best. In terms of the curing conditions, the highest compressive strength was achieved through water curing and air dry curing at $20^{\circ}C$. However, it was found that the long-term strength was adversely affected by curing at over $40^{\circ}C$.

Maturity models involving curing temperature and curing ages have been widely used to predict concrete strength, which can accurately estimate concrete strength. However, they may not consider physical quantities such as the characteristics of hydrates and the capillary porosity of microstructures associated with strength development. In order to find out the effects of both factors on a strength increment, the hydration model and the estimation method of the amount of capillary porosity were established, and the compressive strength test of concrete nth various water/cement ratios was carried out considering two test parameters, curing temperature and curing age. In this study, by analyzing the experimental results, a strength estimation model for early-age concrete that can consider the microstructural characteristics such as hydrates and capillary porosity was proposed. Measured compressive strengths were compared with estimated strengths and good agreements were obtained. Consequently, the proposed strength model can estimate compressive strength of concrete with curing age and curing temperature within an acceptable error.
