In this study, the experiment was conducted in the level of mortar as one of the basic studies on pre-cast concrete which acceleration curing is not done. This study has the purpose to develop the strength of mortar into 20MPa within 6 hours in the condition of room temperature using admixtures which can accelerate C3S hydration reaction. In this experiment, W/C was fixed into 20%, PCE which can stimulate C3S was used as an accelerating admixture. From the results of this experiment, maximum content of accelerating admixture was 1%. Also, as more than 20MPa was measured through 6-hour compressive strength, it can be known that strength can be developed without steam-curing.

Blast-furnace slag cement has been used widely as a structural material due to the latent hydraulicity of granulated ground blast furnace slag(GGBS)for a long time as The wall as ordinary portland cement. In this study, based on the fundamental investigation on the high strength and high durable concrete using the high fineness GGBS the following remarks can be made. 1) The average desired strenth of concrete is Or=600~800kg/$\textrm{cm}^2$. 2) The above high strength concrete using the high fineness GGBS is more workable than those using only OPC. 3) The adiabatic temperature and drying shringkage decrease, so the density and resistance to sea water attack increase as results. 4)The unit cement content and unit air entrained admixture at the same desired strength of concrete decrease, so the economical high strength concrete can be manufactured from using the high fineness GGBS.

The strength development of PFA concretes were invest~gated in this study. The work undertaken was divided into two parts which considered both the influence of PFA replacement level up to 45% and the effect of cement type at the high PRA leveI(45%). The additiorlal cement considered included a rapdhardemng portland ccnlent. The full range of concrete struc tural grades were studied anti ciight cu~ing contlltiorls covering those 11:ied 111 practlce were examined. The early strength retluced wit11 increasing PFA content. However, post 28days, the reverse was observed. It was posslhle through the use of rapid hardening portland cement at the high PFA level to achieve similar early strength to OPC concrete, with the same benefits noted above also being obtained post 28 days. The compressive strength uf hlgh PYA content concrt:tes at hgh temperature m s found to be higher than the ccmtrol at all ages hoth in water and alr. The same trends were observed at low t.ernperature in air. However, the reverse occur-ed at the low temperature In water.

The influence of the bubble structure and strength characteristics on the freeze-thaw resistance of high strength concrete is investigated by the laboratory experiment. The test conditions are formed in the manner that water is continueusly supplied externally and the specimens were received severe weather actions from ordinary to significantly low temperatures. The experiments are performed in two stages. In the first stage, the relation between the durability to frost action and the bubble structure is analyzed especially with respect to the water-cement ratio and the amount of air. The AE and non-AE concrete specimens made of ordinary portland cement are used in the test. In the second stage, the non-AE concrete specimens using vibratory compaction to improve the durability to frost action, and the high watertight specimens of rapid hardening portland cement to increase their initial strength are produced and tested. The degree of watertightness of the specimens is determined by measuring the permeability of the specimens and the bubble structure of the high watertight concrete is also estimated.

The objective of this study is to modify the mixture proportions of concrete that were developed for section enlargement strengthening elements using a specially designed binder composed of 5% ultra-rapid hardening cement, 10% polymer, and 85% ordinary portland cement in order to assign the self-compaction property to such concrete. The self-compaction abilities of concrete were estimated by the performance criteria specified in JSCE and EFNARC provions. Test results showed that the increase in the unit binder content at the consistent water-to-bider ratio led to increase in viscosity of fresh concrete but did not exhibit the decrease in the fluidity due to a greater viscosity. The mixture proportioning of self-compaction section enlargement concrete could be considered at the following conditions: unit binder contents of $430kg/m^3{\sim}470kg/m^3$ and fine aggregate-to-total aggregate ratios of 40%~46% at the water-to-binder ratio of 38%.

The development of the oil refining industry has resulted in an annual 120 million tons of sulphur, which is a by-product of the desulphurization process. To exploit this abundance, the applications of sulphur must be expanded. as excellent durability of reuse of leftover sulphur which has high potential for utilization in construction materials, the study is actively in progress. Meanwhile, there has been active research on semi-rigid pavements that draw on the strengths and overcome the weaknesses of asphalt and concrete pavements. Acrylate is used to prevent cracking but involves a high cost, thus, an alternative material is required. As such, this study presents methods on the reuse of leftover sulphur and examines the engineering performance of grout containing sulfur polymer emulsion (SPE) for use in semi-rigid pavements. Our analysis shows that grout in which 30% of acrylate is replaced with SPE has superior properties in terms of time of flow and strength compared to regular grout. However, performance declined when more than 50% of acrylate was replaced by SPE, indicating that the optimum replacement level is 30%. Through SEM analysis, we found that grout with utra harding cement in this study at three hours had similar hydration properties to that of Type 1 Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) at seven days, and maintained the properties regardless of grout containing SPE. OPC and grout with a replacement level of 30% displayed similar levels of chloride invasion resistance, whereas grout without SPE was far less resistant. Within the scope of this paper, the optimum replacement level of acrylate with SPE was found to be 30% in consideration of various properties such as time of flow, strength, and chloride invasion resistance.
