Recently the use of the underwater concrete with the antiwashout admixture is increased considerably. When we intend to apply it to the field, we must consider the water temperature effect. In this study, we investigate the properties of setting time, early strength, hydration temperature history and core strength with the antiwashout underwater concrete in the water temperature 8$^{\circ}C$, 14$^{\circ}C$ and 22$^{\circ}C$ respectively. As a result of experiment, as the water temperature is decreasing, setting time is delayed twice of three times and early strength is lower from 10% to 50%. Therefore to compensate the decrease of the early strength, we used the accelerator and investigated the concrete properties.

This study is to investigate properties of high strength.high flowing concrete using blast-furnace slag in temperature conditions of 5, 10, 15 and $20^{\circ}C$. The result of this study can be summarized as follows. 1) The use of blast-furnace slag leads to decrease of air content and increase of fluidity in the fresh concrete. 2) The early compressive strength of high strength.high flowing concrete containing blast-furnace slag is lower than the case with portland cement only. 3) The compressive strength development of incorporating in the concrete is poor at low temperature below about $15^{\circ}C$.

An experimental study was conducted to investigate the effectiveness of transverse steel in reinforced concrete tied columns subjected to monotonically increasing axial compression. Eighteen large-scale columns($260{\times}260{\times}1,200mm$) were tested. Effects of such main variables as concrete compressive strength, configurations of transverse steel, transverse reinforcement ratio, spacing of transverse steel, and spalling of concrete cover were investigated. High-strength concrete columns under concentric axial loads show extremely brittle behavior unless the columns are confined with transverse steel that can provide sufficiently high lateral confinement pressure. A consistent decrease in the deformability of the column test specimens was observed with increasing concrete strength. Test results of this study were compared with existing confinement models of modified Kent-Park, Sheikh-Uzumeri, Mander, and Saatcioglu-Razvi. The comparison indicates many existing models to predict the behavior of confined concrete overestimate or underestimate the ductility of confined concrete.

Effects of the post treatment on the fatigue strength of a bead-on-plate weldment were investigated in order to improve fatigue strength of the weldment. The post treatment applied were the grinding of weld toe and hammer peening at the weld toe. The fatigue strength of the weldment after post treatment increases. It is attributed to the decrease of the residual stress and the maximum stress at the weld toe by the post treatments. Based on the result, the principal factor controlling the fatigue strength of the weldment was identified as the toe shape of the bead-on-plate weldment.

In joining alumina ceramics to metal by using Mo-Mn metallizing process the effects of metallizing thickness, temperature, and the composition of paste on the bond strength and the microstructure of joining interface were investigated. The bond strength variation in the range of metallizing temperature, 1350~155$0^{\circ}C$ was more than 150MPa above 145$0^{\circ}C$ and the optimum metallizing thickness was 30${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. The optimum contents of Mn in Mo-Mn paste was 5% due to the bond strength decrease with the increase of addition. The effect of SiO2 addition in paste on bond strength was saturated around 200MPa. It was also observed that as the particle size of Mo decreased, the joinning with higher bond strength was shown in spite of low metallizing temperature.

Traditional methods of earth reinforcement consist of introducing strips, fabrics, or grids into an earth mass. Recently, discrete fibers are simply added and mixed with the soil, much the same as cement, lime or other additives. The advantages of randomly distributed fibers is the maintenance of strength isotropy, low decrease in post-peak shear strength and high stability at failure. In this study, new composite reinforcement structures which consist of geotextile and randomly distributed discrete fibers were examined their engineering properties, such as shear strength of the composite reinforced soil. The increments of shear strength of composite reinforced soils were the sum of increments by fiber and woven geotextile respectively.

This study was performed to evaluate the strength and durability properties of recycled polymer concrete using unsaturated polyester resin and recycled aggregates. Unsaturated polyester resin, natural and recycled aggregates and fly ash were used. The mix proportions were determined to satisfy the requirement for the workability and slump according to aggregate sizes (5-10 and 5-25 mm) and unit binder contents (10% and 12%). Tests for the compressive and flexural strength, freezing and thawing and durability for 20% sulfuric solution were performed. The compressive and flexural strength of recycled polymer concrete were in the range of 85~97 MPa and 17.9~20.8 MPa, respectively. The strengths of recycled polymer concrete using recycled aggregate have similar or slightly decreased compared to polymer concrete using natural aggregate. After 300 cycles of freezing and thawing, weight decrease ratio and durability factor of recycled polymer concrete were in the range of 0.13~1.42% and 94~99, respectively.

In this study, methyl methacrylate (MMA)- modified unsaturated polyester mortar, in which the MMA was added to the unsaturated polyester resin, was developed for improving the early-age strength and the workability of the conventional polymer concrete, binder of which was the unsaturated polyester resin. Then the strength properties of the MMA-modified unsaturated polyester mortar were surveyed. The experimental results showed that early-age strength was greater when the MMA contents were increased in the range of $20{\sim}40%$, but the strength rather showed a tendency of decrease when the MMA contents was 50%.

Although bonding material content of the high strength flowing concrete is very important in engineering properties, in rich mix concrete increasing the bonding material content may not follow more good properties. This study is to investigate the influence of the bonding material content affecting on the engineering properties of high strength flowing concrete, and this paper is to analyze the properties of hardened concrete. The results reveal that the strength of concrete having loss bonding material content is higher than that of concrete having more bonding material content, and that in proportion to increasing of concrete strength brittleness factors decrease, and that the static modulus of elasticity in this study is less than that in specification.
