Three concrete filled steel tubular columns with six inner diaphrams are constructed and tested under field conditions. The size and shape of three columns are exactly same. The cross section is $40\times40cm$, and the height is 9m. Each column is constructed with normal concrete, CFST concrete, and high flowing concrete, respectively. Concrete is pumped into bottom parts of steel tubular columns from a concrete pump on the ground. Test data indicate that the slump flow of the concrete place in the top of the column is lower than that of the concrete before pumping by about 10~20cm. Slump flow loss of high flowing concrete caused by pumping is high compared to the other concretes. Concrete pump pressure of high flowing concrete is somewhat higher than that of CFST concrete.

High reactivity metakaolin (HRM) is a manufactured pozzolan produced by thermal processing of purified kaolinitic clay. Field performance and laboratory research of concrete containing HRM have demonstrated its value for bridge decks, bridge deck overlays, high-strength concrete and masonry products. This paper discusses laboratory evaluations to assess the physical properties of antiwashout underwater concrete (AWC) containing HRM, such as pH value, suspended solids, slump flow, and compressive strength. There were not much variations of pH value with the changing HRM contents, but suspended solid test showed that the amount of suspended solids of AWC with 10 and 20% of HRM were reduced in comparison with plain. Due to the fast hydration and reaction property of HRM, slump flow was decreased with increasing HRM contents. According to the results of compressive strength test, AWC with 10 and 20% of HRM showed higher strength characteristic than plain at all curing ages.

In this paper, the medium strength self-compacting concrete with simple mix design method was manufactured and investigated about the properties of flowability and strength. Two types of binders like as fly-ash and RP(rock powder) were contained to the SCC in order to obtain the target medium strength of 270-350kgf/$cm^2$. The experimental tests about slump-flow, reaching time to the slump-flow of 50cm, V-funnel and U-box were carried out in accordance with the specified by the Japanese Society of Civil Engineering(JSCE). The mechanical properties such as compressive strength, splitting tensile strength and static modulus of elasticity were checked with the requirements specified by KS.

This study was performed to evaluate the slump flow, air content, setting time, compressive strength, adiabatic temperature rise and diffusion coefficient of chloride used ordinary portland cement, crushed coarse aggregate, crushed sand, river sand, fly ash, limestone powder, blast furnace slag powder and superplasticizer to find optimum mix design of low carbon green concrete for structures. The performances of low carbon green concrete used fly ash, limestone powder and blast furnace slag powder were remarkably improved. This fact is expected to have economical effects in the manufacture of low carbon green concrete for structures. Accordingly, the fly ash, limestone powder and blast furnace slag powder can be used for low carbon green concrete material.

High-Belite cement had a better slump flow characteristics than type I cement and slag cement, and its varation of slump flow with time was also excellent. As the amount binder added was increased, the strength increased while material separation decreased. This phenomena was obvious when the amount of cement was abobe 500kg/$\textrm{m}^3$ . When the amount of cement and S/a were 516kg/$\textrm{m}^3$ and 52% respectively, the application strength of 600kg/$\textrm{m}^3$ was satisfied. Since, however, the aggreate size of 25mm was somewhat unsatisfactory, the characteristics of high performance concrete could be obtained by the addition of the viscosity-enhancing agent.

Results from a study on the effect of the chemical agent on the flowing and setting properties of high flowing.high strength concrete using blast-furnace slag are presented in this paper. The flowing and setting properties of concrete are investigated by slump, slump-flow, flowing velocity, L-flow, velocity of V-funnel, L-spatial passability and setting time. In addition, kinds of chemical agent were composed of naphthalene type, of naphthalene and melamine and melamine type. The results indicate that dispersive capacity can be increased by naphthalene composition. Also, it shows that viscosity and early strength can be increased by melamine composition.

Self compacting concrete has the strong point in capability of concrete to be uniformly filled and compacted in every corners of formwork by its self-weight without vibration during placing. However, powder type self compacting concrete has the weak point in the heat of hydration, the drying shrinkage and the elastic property of concrete etc. Recently viscosity agent has been developed in order to overcome these weaknesses. In this study, self compacting concrete is made with viscosity agent based on polysaccharide derivative in order to develope the normal strength self compacting concrete. Slump flow, loss of slump flow and setting time are measured for comparison with normal concrete. Compressive strength, freezing and thawing test and carbonation test are conducted on normal and self compacting concrete using viscosity agent. In the experiment, we acquired good results in fresh and hardened self compacting concrete using viscosity agent based on polysaccharide derivative.

Self-compactability is defined as a capability of concrete to be uniformly filled and compacted in every corners of formwork by its self-weight without vibration during placing. To evaluate the self compactability of self compacting concrete, the slump flow, the time of slump flow at 500mm and U-box apparatus testing methods are used. In this research, the fresh and hardened properties of self compacting concrete using ground granulated blast furnace slag as a part of cement were investigated for the volume contents of sand in the mortar. The workability, flowing characteristics, air content and compressive strength of concrete were tested and the results were compared with the different volume contents of sand in the mortar. In the experiment, we acquired satisfactory results at the point of flowing characteristics and strengths of self compacting concrete.

For the development of high-fluidity concrete using low-binder, The effect of the use of the developed acrylic viscosity agent on the physical properties of concrete evaluated. The amount acrylic viscosity agent used was 0.28%, 0.29% and 0.30% based on the binder amount of 350kg/m³, and slump flow test, air volume measurement, U-Box passing test and strength compressive were conducted to determine the effect of the physical properties of concrete. it was judged that 0.29% of the cellulose type viscosity agent used in high-fluidity concrete using low-binder was most suitable.

After the industrial of steelmaking by-products are processed properly, they can be used in civil engineering, not only as a substitute for natural resources and to reduce costs, but also to provide environmental protection. This study used different amounts (10%, 20%, 30%, 40%,and 50%) of desulphurization slag to replace natural fine aggregates in ready-mixed soil materials, and tested the physical and fresh properties (slump, slump flow, tube flow, initial setting time, and bleeding) and hardened properties (compressive strength, ball drop, ultrasonic pulse velocity) of the materials. The variations between the performances of the materials with different mix proportions were discussed. When desulphurization slag is used in RMSM, the workability can be enhanced obviously significantly. When the replacement of desulphurization slag is 50%, the slump flow is increased by 110mm compared with the control group, and the initial setting time increases as the replacement increases, because of bleeding. When the replacement is 10% and 20%, the compressive strength at various ages is higher than that of the control group. When the replacement is 10%, the compressive strength at 7 days is higher than that of the control group by 60%, and the ultrasonic pulse velocity is proportional to the compressive strength, which increases with age and decrease as the replacement increases. An appropriate replacement can effectively accelerate construction, and allow projects to be finished ahead of schedule; therefore, an appropriate replacement, is applicable for ready-mixed soil materials.
