굳지 않은 콘크리트의 슬럼프손실을 저감시키기 위한 목적으로 고로슬래그 미분말 및 플라이애쉬의 혼합비율과 혼화제의 첨가방법을 변화시킨 콘크리트의 믹싱후 경과시간에 따른 슬럼프 변화에 대하여 고찰하였다. 연구결과 보통포틀랜드시멘트에 고로슬래그 비분말 또는 플라이애쉬를 혼합한 콘크리트가 혼화재를 혼합하지 않은 콘크리트보다 슬럼프손실을 줄일 수 있었으며, 고로슬래그 미분말과 플라이애쉬를 각각 50 및 5%를 혼합한 3성분계 콘크리트의 경우 슬럼프손실을 저감시키는데 유효하였다. 또한 혼화제의 일부를 15분후 분할하여 후첨가하는 혼합방법이 굳지않은 콘크리트의 슬럼프손실을 저감시키는데 가장 큰 효과가 있다. 한편 혼화재를 혼합한 3성분계 보통강도용 및 고강도용 콘크리트의 재령 28일까지의 압축강도는 혼화재를 혼합하지 않은 콘크리트보다 작았으나 재령 91일 압축강도는 31% 및 15%정도 크게 증가하였다.

KS F 4419, which is dealt with the Inter-Locking block, states that water to cement ratio for manufacturing inter-locking block should be less than 25% and in KS F4419, the use of admixture is shown to be reluctant to recommend. In this paper, reinvestigation of some regulations in KS F 4419 are carried out. According to the experimental results, as W/C increases, flexural strength and compressive strength are tended to decrease, whereas they increases within certain range, Flexural strength and compressive strength have higher values in 1:2(W/C=35%), 1:4(W/C=45%) and 1:6(W/C=55%) of mix proportions. Moreover they have rather higher values with the containment of high range AE water-reducing agent. The absorption ratios decrease with the increase of W/C and the containment of high range AE water-reducing agent. Therefore, the regulations on the W/C and admixture in KS F 4419 reguire revision.

Concrete is one of the essential structural materials in the construction. But, concrete consists of many materials and is affected by many factors such as properties of materials, site environmental situations, and skill of constructor. Therefore, concrete mixes depend on experiences of experts. However, it is more and more difficult to determine concrete mixes design by empirical means because more ingredients like mineral and chemical admixtures are included. Artificial Neural Networks(ANN) are a mimic models of human brain to solve a complex nonlinear problem. They are powerful pattern recognizers and classifiers, also their computing abilities have been proven in the fields of prediction, estimation and pattern recognition. Here, among them, the back propagation network and radial basis function network are used. Compositions of high-performance concrete mixes are eight components(water, cement, fine aggregate, coarse aggregate, fly ash, silica fume, superplasticizer and air-entrainer). Compressive strength and slump are measured. The results show that neural networks are proper tools to minimize the uncertainties of the design of concrete mixtures.

In the analysis of early-age concrete behavior, the fresh concrete is considered as a structural element immediately after mixing. But for the activation of real structural behavior in the fresh concrete, the so-called setting time is necessary a few hours after the beginning of hydration reaction. In this paper, analysis on the setting behavior is carried out by proposing an analytical model based on the percolation theory as well as the expanding cluster model by defining the setting as a microstructure formation in fresh concrete. An experimental investigation is also carried out to show the influences of curing temperature, mineral admixtures and chemical admixture on setting behavior of fresh concrete. Finally, the analytical results using proposed model are compared with the experimental results for the sake of verification.

Cement paste is originally the basic material and crucial factor consisting concrete. This study investigates the relationship between flow apparatuses, which are ring flow, flow cone and mini slump, in order to estimate the fluidity of cement paste. For quantitatively evaluating the measured data, this study also analyses the calibration of the rheology consistents of cement paste using viscometer. For this purpose, the present work discusses the influence of the differences of companies and ingredients, affecting the fluidity of cement paste

Nowadays the three major commercially available of organic chemical admixtures are modified lignosulfonates(LS), sulfonated naphthalene-formaldehyde resins (SNF) and sulfonated melamine-formaldehye (SMF). In this study, various sulfonated melamine-formaldehyde (SMF) superplasticizers were synthesized via four synthetic steps. Hydroxymethylation (Step 1), Sulfonation (Step 2), Polymerization (Step 3) and Neutralization and Stabilization (Step 4). In this synthesis of SMF, reaction conditions such as the mole ratio of melamine to formaldehyde and the amount of acid catalyst were changed. After application of SMF superplasticizer to cement paste and mortar, the physical properties including workability, slump loss, compressive strength were compared.

It has been reported that few manufacturers of cement mortar for precast products use chemical and mineral admixture due to the absense of restrictions related to the application of admixture and the poor manufacturing facilities. Therefore, this paper is intended to contribute to the improvement of quality by investigating the properties of cement mortar for precast products using fly ash, blast furnace slag and AE water reducing agent. According to the test results. it was found that the cement mortar products using fly ash and AE water-reducing agent had better qualities than those of ordinary portland cement.

An increase of concrete construction in marine environments as well as an increasing use of marine aggregate at the mixing stage of concrete has provoked an important problem. A high concentration of chloride ion in the vicinity of steel bars in concrete is the principal cause of premature reinforcement corrosion in concrete structures. In this study, the behavior of chloride ions introduced into concrete from concrete surface by marine evironment was analysed. A mathematical model including the diffusion of chloride ion in aqueous phase of pores, the adsorption and desorption of chloride ions to and from the surface of solid phase of concrete and the chemical reactions of chloride ions with solid phase was presented. Finite element method was employed to carry out numerical analysis. The results of this study may be used to predict the onset of reinforcement corrosion and to identify the maximum limit of chloride ions contained in concrete admixtures.

One of the important problems associated with building demolition is the dust generated during the work. The only way to reduce the demolition dust is to use a dust net during water spraying. However, it is difficult to supply the necessary amount of water to remove demolition dust, thus making it difficult to apply this method on a demolition site. This work attempted to find an alternative approach to dust removal by incorporating surfactant and high range AE water reducer in the water being sprayed. Through the experiment, it was found that the addition of surfactant did not contribute to the removal of demolition dust. However, the use of high range AE water reducer showed better performance than spraying plain water, indicating that some amount of demolition dust had been adsorbed on the high range AE water reducer.

Concrete with self-healing admixture can reduce the crack width by using a compound for chemical reaction with incoming water and carbon dioxide through the crack. Also, concrete with self-healing admixtures can reduce early-age shrinkage crack by using a inorganic expansive agent. In this research, we perform the basic workability test and compressive test. Also, We measure the drying shrinkage of concrete specimen. Finally, we make mock-up (3m X 3m X 0.23m) and monitor the crack width and length for 3 months.
