Recently, frost damage of storage tank for admixture agent caused by low temperature in winter and quality deterioration of admixture agent ofen happened. But, many problems are caused because of no applicable regulations of admixture agent facility and so on. Therefore, this study presents the reference data about using and quality control of admixture agent in practice and the judgement data about working out a counter plan of suitable heat insulation of injecion equipment of admixture agent exposed at outside in winter by measuring the freezing point of admixture agent for concrete.

Concrete mix proportioning is a process of selecting the right combination of many materials such as cement, fine aggregates, coarse aggregates, water, and admixtures to make concrete satisfying for specification and cost. In determining proportioning of concrete mixes, code information, specification, and the experience of experts are needed. However, all factors regarding mix proportioning factor cannot be considered. Therefore, the final acceptance depends on concrete quality control test results. The proportioning of concrete mixes and the adjustments are somewhat complicated, time-consuming, and uncertain tasks. In this paper, as a tool to predict the factor of the proportioning of concrete mixes, an artificial neural network is used. To consider the varieties of material properties, the standard mixed table of two companies of ready mixed concrete are used. The results show that neural net works is successfully applied to the prediction of concrete mix proportioning factor.

The purpose of this report is to investigate and analyze development and achievement of flowing and high-strength concrete by reacy mixed concrete companies in Korea. For this purpose, the investigation was divided into three parts, i.e., superplasticizers, flowing concrete, high-strength concrete. And, they were asked to quality control manager in ready mixed concrete companies. Many researches have been carried out. And, flowing concrete is applied to field in a few case. In order to improve practical applicability of high-strength concrete and make concrete strength higher, to begin with, profound research for concrete ingredients will be needed along with presentation of methods for obtaining workability and quality assurance.

In this study, air meter method and capacitance measurement method to apply economically at quality control of ready-mixed concrete among various unit water content measurement technique was selected. Then, it was evaluated estimating performance of unit water content according to the change of water-binder ratio and unit water content. Also, it was examined influence about error occurrence of unit water content by change of properties of used materials. Finally, based on this study, it was proposed fundamental data to utilize measurement technique of unit water content to quality control. of ready-mixed concrete in construction field.

Absorption of lightweight aggregate affects the properties of fresh and hardened concrete, so care must be taken. In this study, according to KS F 2533 absorption is measured to aggregate size, submerged time, holding time and practically ways to maintain a constant absorption was to seek. The findings for quality control of the lightweight aggregate concrete mixture is saturation of the surface-dry aggregate humidity 100% after 24 hours immersion in the environment has been stored for more than two days to absorb the state was able to define. Dry density at the surface of the lightweight aggregate and lightweight concrete mix design and placement is possible for it to apply.

Continued from study on fresh concrete properties of the part 1, this study is designed for analyzing to the increasing trend of the compressive strength according to the curing method, standard deviation, strength properties of pumping before and after, and a length change to the drying shrinkage. And for quality control, this study is designed for analyzing the early estimation of compressive strength by hydrometer method in diluted concrete solution at the fresh state, and non-destructive testing by the Schumidt hammer at the hardened state.

This subject,'S" apartment structural frame has not been achieved without considerable effort by all quality controller involved. Therefore, it is appropriate at this time to report by all the fact of concrete quality control in our site. These are emphasized that the average strength of placed concrete must always exceed the specified value of design strength used in the structural design phase. In general, quality of ready mixed concrete largely depends not only upon the manner of production and proper observance of recognized methods of placement, finishing, curing, transportation etc. ,but also many kinds of influential factors even more handling of the test procedure, As this practical report, approaching to judgement by analysis of sampled specimens in site weather placed concrete have satisfied quality compare the specified strength with the target strength which is applied to standard deviation related with influential factors as above mentioned. This case study is consist of 1) A foreword, 2) Site brief, 3) A precondition for analysis, 4) A formulas derivation and quality analysis, 5) Economic gains by the coefRcient of increase and 6) A conclusion.sion.

High strength ready-miced concrete with delivering time of about 90 minutes is successfully produced at ready-mixed concrete plant and placed columns and retaining walls of a tall building without any problems. The design strength of the concrete is 450 kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$ and the required average compressive strength is 540 kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$ according to ACI 363R-84 report with assumed coefficient of variation of 12% For the producing of good quality concrete, many laboratary and field tests are carried out. As the results of this study, the slump loss of high strength concrete is largely influenced by kinds of superplasticizer. The measured pump pressure of high strength concrete with slump of 22cm is higher than that of normal strength concrete with slump of 18cm by about 20~30% The measured average 28-day compressive strength of the concrete is 551 kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$ and the coefficient of variation is 2.3%

The objective of this study is to investigate the properties of fresh concrete with recycled coarse and fine aggregates. Four different kinds of aggregate with natural, recycled aggregates were prepared. The concrete mixtures were produced with test parameters of replacement ratio of recycled aggregate. The properties of the fresh concrete were measured by means of slump and air content according to elapsed time. Quality control method to maintain the constant total mixing water for recycled aggregate concrete was suggested. The all concrete mixtures were produced with approximately the same slump on the job site after an hour. Test results indicated that compressive strength of concrete with constant slump is not affected by the replacement ratio of recycled aggregate. Also the practical way for the quality control of recycled aggregate concrete is to maintain the constant total mixing water.
