Exposed to various environments, concrete confronts degradation by a lot of physical and chemical reaction. Though so many experiments and theorizations on the single condition of concrete degradation have been carried out by constant studies, the truth for now is that there are few studies on the compound phenomenon of degradation related with marine environments. Accordingly, this study measured the degree of degradation in the change of external shape, the change of unit weight and compressive strength, ultrasonic velocity test, and the change of length, etc. after exposing the specimen of cement mortar to the environment between 0 cycle and the maximum of 300 cycles under the condition of aquatic curing, freezing and thawing, and compound degradation, using mineral admixture effective for concrete degradation as a binder. The result indicated that the case of adding mineral admixture showed greater resistance than that of using OPC only, and specifically, the specimen with the additive of slag powder and three component system showed very excellent resistance to freezing and thawing, and compound degradation.

Concrete parking slab is often deteriorated severely after winter season because of concrete's freezing and thawing phenomenon. In this study, some methods to improve resistance against freezing-thawing is experimentally tested.: 1) concrete strength, 2) air content in concrete, 3) saw-cut effect and finish material. After experiment, in case of no finishes, 24MPa concrete with 4% air content is tested best result in terms of relative elastics modulus among testes ones. In case of concrete with finishes, all specimens are improved regardless of finishes compared to concrete with no finishes. Improvement degree compared to no finish is as follows : Polyurea > Resin-mortar > hardener and the number of improvement degree is 5, 4, 2% respectively. Further work is required considering construction site condition such as gaining water on surface and remicon in order to reflect site condition.

This paper covers concrete durability made with portland cement type I and V, and granulated blast furnace slag blended cements 40 and 60%. Typical properties of cements and compressive strength development, drying shrinkage, carbonation, freezing and thawing properties of concretes were investigated. In addition, effects of CI penetration on various concretes with/without a freezing and thawing treatment were also studied. Portland cement type I and V were superior to the blended cement in the properties of compressive strength development, drying shrinkage, carbonation and freezing and thawing durability. In the respect of resistant of CI Blended cement showed better than the portland cement due to high permeability. But the blended cement with a freezing and thawing treatment presented a much decreased resistance of CI penetration.

This experiment was on purpose to estimate freezing and thawing resistance concering with developing rice straw ash concrete which were mixed rice straw ash to cement as ratio of cement weight. Freezing and thawing test was done by Method A of KS F 2456. It could estimate change of original mass, pulse velocity and dynamic modulus of elasticity during test. Test results showed that 5% filled rice straw ash concrete had the highest durability factor(DF) as 86 and from 5% to 7.5% filled rice straw ash concrete showed higher DF than normal cement concrete.

This study was conducted to evaluate durability of concrete which are increasingly demanded recently. Concrete durability properties incorporating waste foundry sand was performed with the variable of W/C ratio, Sand/Waste foundry sand ratio and Air entrainment-Non air entrainment. Cylinder specimens were made and subjected to freezing and thawing cycle at $-18^{\circ}C$ and $4^{\circ}C$. Dynamic modulus of elasticity were evaluated as F/T cycle increase. The results show that decreasing W/C ratio and AE concrete makes improved resistance of freezing and thawing improved. Especially, resistance of freezing and thawing is improved by Fine aggregate/Waste foundry sand ratio which is 50%, 25%, 0% in a row.

The effects of binder content and silica sand content on the freezing and thawing resistance of lightweight polymer concrete are examined. As a result, the mass loss and pulse velocity of lightweight polymer concrete decrease with increasing binder content and silica sand content. The relative dynamic modulus and durability factor of lightweight polymer concrete reaches minimum at a silica sand content of 50% and a binder content of 28%, and is inclined to increase with increasing binder content and silica sand content.

In this study, various tests are performed for the durability of the concrete using domestic recycled coarse aggregate including drying shrinkage, permeability, freezing-thawing resistance and $CO_2$ diffusivity. Tests of freezing-thawing resistance, chloride ion permeability and $CO_2$ diffusivity of recycled concrete show favorable results. But, the maximum drying shrinkage ratio to normal concrete is increased 24% with increasing substitution ratio of recycled aggregate. Therefore, for the use of recycled concrete in structures, the preventive measures of drying shrinkage is necessary in mix design and the adequate substitution ratio of recycled aggregate should be proposed.

The purpose of this experiment is to estimate freezing and thawing resistance of rice straw ash concrete. Test results show that mass, pulse velocity and relative synamic modulus of elasticity are gradually decreased with increase of freezing and thawing cycle. The durability factor(DF) is in the range of 85.48 ∼86.33 in the rice straw ash comcrete with 2.5% , 5% 7.5%, rice straw ash and higher than that of thenormal cement concrete. But, DF of 10% , 12.5%, 15% rice straw ash filled rice straw ash concrete is in the range of 41.26∼65.34 and lower than that of the normal cement concrete.

The physical, mechanical and freezing and thawing properties of non cement porous vegetation concrete using non-sintering inorganic binder have been evaluated in this study. Four types of porous vegetation concrete according to the binder type is evaluated. The pH value, void ratio, compressive strength, repeated freezing and thawing properties were tested. The test results indicate that the physical, mechanical and repeated freezing and thawing properties of porous vegetation concrete using the non-sintering inorganic binder is increased or equivalent compared to the porous vegetation concrete using the blast furnace slag + cement and hwang-toh + cement binders. Also, Vegetation monitoring test results indicate the porous vegetation concrete using the non-sintering inorganic binder have increasing effects of vegetation growth.

This study was a result of laboratory test to confirm the porperties of concrete containing the domestic artificial lightweight aggregate. The domestic artificial lightweight aggregate is made with bottom ash which waste material in the thermal power plant. In the experimental result air contents of fresh concrete was measured lower than other artificial lightweight aggregate. This air contents is important for retaining the resistance of freezing and thawing. Therefore air contents of concrete will be considered for retaining the resistance of freezing and thawing when manufacture the concrete containing the domestic artificial aggregate.
