This study investigates possibility for practical use through small sized test with OPC and substituted fly ash 10% and return coarse cement (RCC), classed 1100${\sim}$1200 cm2/g, which is made by Cyclone Separator at cement producing process 20% (CF) for OPC. The experimental factors are 48% of W/B and OPC and 2 kinds of concrete proportions. The target slump and air content are $150{\pm}25$ mm and $4.5{\pm}1.5$ %. For the results, the flowalility and air content of CF are less than OPC because it needs more superplasticiser and air-entraining agent. The temperature history of CF is lower than OPC about $6{\sim}10^{\circ}C$. For the strength properties, CF is less than OPC, but their gap is declined at 28 days. The strength of the specimens are ordered by standard curing, field cured specimens, and core specimens.

Strength and some durability properties of concrete containing rice husk ash (RHA) predominantly composed of amorphous silica at a specific surface of 235 $m^2/kg$ produced using a charcoal incinerator were determined. The maximum ordinary Portland cement (OPC) replacement with the RHA increased with increase in water/binder (w/b) ratio of the concrete mixes. The results show that 15 % OPC could be substituted by the RHAwithout strength loss at w/b ratio of 0.50. The split tensile strength generally increased with increase in RHA content for the mixes.

In this study, physical properties of cement blended with Finex-slag powder(OPC-FS) were investigated by the measurement of flowability, compressive strength, hydration heat, and $Ca(OH)_2$ content. In addition, those properties of the cement blended with blast furnace slag(OPC-BFS) were also measured for comparison. It was found that OPC-FS and OPC-BFS showed similar trend in the rheological properties. In the blended cement pastes with the $4,000\;cm^2/g$ Blaine value the flowability of OPCFS was better than that of OPC-BFS. The initial 3 day mortar compressive strength and the hydration heat of paste of OPC-FS was a bit higher, compared with OPC-BFS. Accordingly $Ca(OH)_2$ produced in the cement hydration was decreased very rapidly.

In the era of building engineering the intensification of Self Compacting Concrete (SCC) is world-shattering magnetism. It has lot of rewards over ordinary concrete i.e., enrichment in production, cutback in manpower, brilliant retort to load and vibration along with improved durability. In the present study, the mechanical strength of CM-2 (SCC containing 10% of rice husk ash (RHA) as cement replacement and 600 grams of glass fibers per cubic meter) was investigated at various dosages of cement replacement by fly ash (FA) and GGBS. A total of 17 SCC mixtures including two control SCC mixtures (CM-1 and CM-2) were developed for investigating fresh and hardened properties in which, ten ternary cementitious blends of SCC by blending OPC+RHA+FA, OPC+RHA+GGBS and five quaternary cementitious blends (OPC+RHA+FA+GGBS) at different replacement dosages of FA and GGBS were developed with reference to CM-2. For constant water-cement ratio (0.42) and dosage of SP (2.5%), the addition of glass fibers (600 grams/m³) in CM-1 i.e., CM-2 shows lower workability but higher mechanical strength. While fly ash based ternary blends (OPC+RHA+FA) show better workability but lower mechanical strength as FA content increases in comparison to GGBS based ternary blends (OPC+RHA+GGBS) on increasing GGBS content. The pattern for mixtures appeared to exhibit higher workablity as that of the concentration of FA+GGBS rises in quaternary blends (OPC+RHA+FA+GGBS). A decrease in compressive strength at 7-days was noticed with an increase in the percentage of FA and GGBS as cement replacement in ternary and quaternary blended mixtures with respect to CM-2. The highest 28-days compressive strength (41.92 MPa) was observed for mix QM-3 and the lowest (33.18 MPa) for mix QM-5.

Structural capacity of water channel fabricated of concrete including blast furnace slag were investigated in this paper. An experimental study was consisted of materials test and structural test of concrete water channel. The mechanical properties of concrete including blast furnace slag were investigated. Ordinary Portland cement (OPC) was used as basic binder and the effect of the replacement of blast furnace slag for OPC was investigated. Experiments were performed to measure mechanical properties including compressive strength, elastic modulus and modulus of rupture. Test results show that the compressive strengths and modulus of ruptures of mixtures containing blast furnace slag were equivalent to those of OPC concrete. In addition, the structural capacity of concrete water channel with up to the replacement ratio of blast furnace slag of 45% was greater than the required strength in KS specification.

Concrete, as a porous construction material, permits chloride penetration from outside, which yields corrosion in embedded steel. In the study, an accelerated corrosion technique (ICM: Impressed current method) was adopted for rapid corrosion formation with 10 Volt of potential, and corrosion amou nt was controlled u p to 10.0 %. Corrosion amou nt had a linear relationship with cumulative corrosion current and increased with a quadratic function of accelerating period due to cracking. Regarding bond strength test, OPC concrete showed rapid drop of bond strength over 3.0 % of corrosion weight ratio, however slag concrete with 30 % replacement ratio showed a level of 51.4~71.6 % of corrosion ratio to OPC concrete with keeping residual bond strength.

Most of the sulfur is obtained from desulfurization of natural gas and crude oil. In Korea, more than 120 tons of sulfur are produced by refinery, and about 50 % of the produced sulfur is used as a raw material for the production of fertilizer and sulfuric acid. Modified sulfur is manufactured from excessive sulfur that could be used to improve concrete properties, and this study evaluated concrete strength and durability that contains modified sulfur. Flexural and compressive strengths of concrete with sulfur modified polymer were comparable to those of OPC concrete with mixing water at similar temperatures, while the strengths increased a little as mixing water temperature increased. It was also confirmed that the resistance to freeze-thaw damage was more dependent on entrained air characteristics obtained by a proper use of air entraining agent than on the use of sulfur modified polymer. When concrete was immersed in 5 % sulfuric acid, the rate of reduction in compressive strength of OPC concrete was less than 1/4 of the strength reduction of concrete with sulfur modified polymer. Also, the resistance of concrete with sulfur modified polymer to scaling due to the use of de-icing salt was evaluated as Class 1, while that of OPC concrete was evaluated as Class 4, as aggregates were exposed. Accordingly, it is believed that sulfur modified polymer could be effectively used for bridge deck concrete since sulfur modified polymer improves the durability of concrete.

The research was investigated the hydration heat and the fundamental properties of concrete using high volume mineral admixture for reducing hydration heat temperature. The results were that compared to OPC 100%, the dosage of superpasticizer agents was decreased about 50% degree at the same flowing, and the compressive strength was developed about 95% degree. Also, temperature rise of heat of hydration was decreased by 36~48% comparing to OPC and FA25, and it is estimated that it will have a large effect to hydration heat reduction of mass concrete.

In this study, the influence of cement factor on the early strength gain and the other properties of concrete is discussed. According to the result, the setting time is faster in order of alumina cement(AC), high-early-strength cement(HSC) and ordinary Portland cement(OPC), and when OPC are replaced with HSC and AC, the final setting time is faster than when only OPC is used. At 10% replacement of AC, the instant setting happens. As the particle of cement is minute, setting time is shortened. As the properties of hardened concrete, the time when compressive strength of 5㎫, which the form can be removed, is gained is about 18 and 16 hours in the case of OPC and HSC respectively, and in the case of AC, it is about 5 hours. It also shows 16 hours at the replacing ratio of HSC of 50%, and 26 and 72 hours at the replacing ratio of AC of 5 and 10% respectively. And it shows 21, 16 and 12 hours with variation of fineness of cement, so early strength gain is fast with an increase of fineness. The coefficient of correlation between compressive strength and the rebound value is over 0.97, is very favorable. Therefore, if the rebound value of P type Schmidt hammer is more than 25, it is thought that the side forms can be removed.

The cold weather concrete poured in the winter season can cause the problem of the Due to recent high-rise building is made. In this research, the nominal mix of the early strength in concrete tried to be set through the mixing proportion experiment for each empirical variable and each component strength properties for the early strength improvement tries to be examined. In the cold weather concrete experiment, the cement and high early strength (type3) cement improving in OPC than OPC was excellent. The polycarboxylic acid based compound was exposed to be excellent in the intensity revelation properties. Because the using of the fly ash was disadvantageous it was excluded from this experiment. It showed the optimum temperature for the intensity revelation up over $12^{\circ}C$.
