This study is to investigate the effects of nylon(NY) and cellulose(CEL) fiber contents on the mechanical properties of the concrete. The results were summarized as following. Test showed that increase of NY and CEL fiber contents decreased fluidity of fresh concrete, so the loss of the fluidity would be considered when they were over added. Air contents were slight increased, but they satisfied the target air content. Bleeding capacity of concrete containing fiber significantly was declined. In addition, concrete containing higher amounts of fiber retarded setting time remarkably. Plastic shrinkage crack was reduced with the use of fiber due to increasing fiber contents and changing fiber classes, and NY fibers to prevent the plastic shrinkage crack effectively. Compressive and tensile strength of almost specimens were increased when air contents of the fresh concrete were fixed according to fiber contents, and flexural strength was increased according to fiber contents. For the impact strength of specimens, the specimen containing $0.6kg/m^3$ of NY fibers, showed the most favorable impact strength, The fiber reinforced concrete using NY fibers exhibited superior mechanical performance, and it was considered that $0.6kg/m^3$ of was desirable as the most favorable adding amount.

Hydroxyethyl cellulose -based-viscosity modifying admixture and melamine-basd-superplasticizer were selected to be admixtures for self-compacting concrete based on the test results of fluidity and air content of mortar using 3 different viscosity modifying admixtures. The experimental results show that the initial and final set of self-compacting concrete and fly ash concrete with viscosity modifying admixture only have been delayed approximately 5 hours and 8~9 hours, respectively. It is found that the optimum dosage of viscosity modifying admixtures, coarse aggregate and cement content are 0.2% of water content, under 742 kg/$\textrm{m}^3$ and over 364 kg/$\textrm{m}^3$, respectively. Test results also show that the optimum fly ash in replacement of cement is 10% of cement weight for the enhancement of fluidity and long-term strength.

Generally, the strength of concrete depends on factors of materials, mix proportions, compaction, manufacturing methods and curing and so on. And recently, it has increased the using of crushed sand for concrete due to the exhaustion of good natural aggregate. In case of Korea, in 2004, the using ratio of crushed sand occupies about 28% of whole fine aggregate. This is an experimental study to compare and analyze the influence of W/B ratio and replacement ratio of crushed sand on the fluidity and compressive strength of high strength concrete. For this purpose, the mix proportions of concrete according to the W/B (31.5, 27.5, 23.5%) and replacement ratio of crushed sand (0, 20, 40%) was selected. And then air content, slump-flow, a-lot, compressive strength test were performed.

The utilization of metakaolin as a pozzolanic material for mortar and concrete has received considerable attention in recent years. This paper estimates the fundamental properties of metakaolin as a pozzolanic material in view of fluidity and compressive strength of cement paste and mortar in comparison of silica fume, fly ash and slag. The results show that in order to obtain the same initial fluidity, metakaolin needs higher dosage of PNS superplasticizer than fly ash and slag, however, less dosage than silica fume. In view of compressive strength of mortar, metakaolin exhibits much higher compressive strength than fly ash and slag, and similar compressive strength with silica-fume when 10 % of cement is replaced with a pozzolanic material.

Naphthalene sulfonated condensatd(NSF) has been widely using for the superplasticizing of ement and concrete. But NSF has a very large mobility loss with elapsed tiom. To retain mobility of NSF during a certain time, maleic anhydride and acrylic acid copolymer(MA) was polymerized and mixed with NSF in order to perpare admixture holding mobility-retention property of cement. By applying this admixture for ement paste, we examined the fluidity and mobility retention property as a function to elapsed time and measured the compressive strength of mortar with curing time. As a result, NSF containing 20wt% of MA showed very excellent fluidity and mobility-retention property. These properties were affected by the added amount of admixture and the ratio of water to cement.

When placed under water, concrete is diluted with separating cementitious material and as a result the quality of concrete becomes poor. So as to solve the problem, underwater concrete is increasingly used for the construction and repair of the concrete structure under water. In this paper, 4 kinds of antiwashout admixtures and varying sand percentages were chosen to measure the suspended solids, pH, air contents, setting time and compressive strength of underwater concrete, and they meet "Standard for antiwashout admixture used for concrete". When sand percentage is 43%, the fluidity and filling of underwater concrete are superior to the others.he others.

Printing inks are mainly composed of pigment and vehicles. Among these components, the Vehicle affect the rheologic property of the ink the most but pigment content or characteristic also affect to the fluidity property not less than the vehicle. In the study, with the same vehicle on each sample, by making the sample to increase pigment content gradually. It can be examined the influence of the pigment to the fluidity of ink. In result we found that the viscosity value of the low shear rate rang has relatively higher value with increasing the pigment content in the ink. According to higher pigment content, yield stress and thixotropy index increases gradually. Structure recovery of the ink is that, the higher pigment content's ink, the less changing shear rate, and it takes less time to recover.

The workability of high strength concrete using high range water reducing admixture is varied rapidly according to elapsed time. For using the high strength concrete in situ, careful caution on workability is necessary. By using fly ash as a admixture, the slump loss of concrete can be reduced considerably, but the early strength of concrete used fly ash is smaller than that not used fly ash. For the purpose of elevating the utilization of fly ash on high strength concrete, the high fluidity retention and the strength development in early age are necessary in concrete used fly ash. In this study, to improve the fluidity retention and to acquire strength development on concrete used fly ash, the gypsum is applied.

Cement paste is originally the basic material and crucial factor consisting concrete. This study investigates the relationship between flow apparatuses, which are ring flow, flow cone and mini slump, in order to estimate the fluidity of cement paste. For quantitatively evaluating the measured data, this study also analyses the calibration of the rheology consistents of cement paste using viscometer. For this purpose, the present work discusses the influence of the differences of companies and ingredients, affecting the fluidity of cement paste
