At low temperature, Wax build-up and settling can affect adversely the cold weather performance of the diesel vehicle. In this study, we test the cold properties of diesel by blending ratio of biodiesel, kerosene and WAFI. Also, we test the cold weather performance for diesel vehicle by fuel cold properties. Cold properties of diesel are improved by adding the WAFI, kerosene and get worse by adding the biodiesel. WAFI is effective to improve a cold filter plugging point(CFPP) and Kerosene is effective to improve a cloud point(CP). CFPP and pour point(PP) are related to cold weather performance of diesel vehicle but CP is unrelated. CFPP indicate a limit temperature of vehicle driving possibility.

For cold weather concreting, frost damage at early age is generated in the concrete, and problems such as delaying of setting and hardening and lowering of strength manifestation emerge due to the low outside air temperature at the early stage of pouring, making the selection of an effective curing method critically important. Unfortunately, the tent sheet currently used as the curing film for heating insulation at work sites, not only has the problems of inferior permeability and extremely deteriorated airtightness, but a phenomenon of continuous fracturing is also generated along the direction of fabric of the material itself, presenting difficult circumstances for maintaining adequate curing temperature. The aim of this study was to develop an improved bubble sheet type curing film for heating insulation of cold weather concrete by combining mesh-tarpaulin, which has excellent tension properties, with bubble sheet, which offers superior insulation performance. The analysis showed that the improved curing film in which BBS1 is stacked to MT was a suitable replacement for curing films currently in use, as it has better permeability, tension property, and insulation performance than the T type film used at work sites today.

For the design guide of a vessel operating in cold region, numerical analysis was carried out to evaluate the weather-tight door which installed the heating cables by using ANSYS 13.0 Transient Thermal. The numerical analysis was performed by considering Advection-Diffusion equation. This study based on the experimental results of 'A study on Anti-Icing Technique for Weather-Tight Door of Ice-Strengthened Vessels'(Jeong, et al., 2011a) in KIOST. For validation of the numerical analysis results, the cold chamber experimental data measured by the heat sensors in certain location of the weather-tight door was used. The external environmental temperature which varies from $5^{\circ}C$ to $-55^{\circ}C$ was considered in numerical analysis. Also three different heating cables which have the heat capacity of 33W/m, 45W/m and 66W/m were adapted for the design parameters to be the most efficient and guidelines for anti-icing design of the weather tight door.

The purpose of this study is to provide the optimum mix design of cold weather concrete to be placed at the foundation structures in substation. The basic performance tests including slump and slump flow, air content, compressive strength and freezing & thawing resistance were conducted for cold weather concrete by varying with W/C ratios such as 40%, 50% and 60% and air contents such as 3%, 4%, 5% and 6%. The effect on durability of concrete corresponding to the increasing amount of air content and W/C ratio was evaluated and the optimum mix design was recommended. From this study, the concrete mix design containing 6% of air content and 45% of W/C ratio is recommended for the foundation concrete of substation.

When fresh concrete is exposed to low temperature, the concrete may suffer from the frost damage at early ages and the strength development may be delayed. To solve such problems of cold weather concreting, admixtures called agent for enduring cold climate are developed to prevent the fresh concrete from being frozen at early ages In this study, the experiments are carried out on several kinds of agent for enduring cold climate to present their performance. According to experimental results, most kinds of agent for enduring cold climate show the satisfactory properties of decreasing the freezing point and acceleating the cement hydration in low temperature environment, which is available for placing concrete in spite of cold weather.

The objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of the application of double layered bubble sheet on the curing of slab and wall concrete placed at the job site in cold weather and to offer a feasibility of Concrete IoT Management System(CIMS), which is wireless sensor network developed by the authors, to manage early age quality of the concrete in terms of temperature, maturity and strength development. Test results indicated that the application of bubble sheet enhances the insulation performance, which results in an increase of the temperature by around 1~20. 6℃. It is found that CIMS can gather the temperature, maturity and strength development data from the sensors embedded from 30 m far from CIMS successfully. Predicted compressive strengths by CIMS had good agreement with measured ones within 2 MPa error level until 7 days. It is thought that the combination of the bubble sheet application for cold weather protection and CIMS for quality management tool in cold weather concreting contributes to shorten the time for the form removal by one day.

When fresh concrete is exposed to the cold weather, the concrete may happen frost damage because of freezing at early ages and the strength development may be go down. Therefore, this paper is intend to investigate the properties and availabilities of cold weather concrete using anti-freeze based formate-acetate for ensure of excellent concrete quality on cold temperature. According to test result for concrete in anti-freeze agent, strength properties in sub-zero temperature increases in comparison with concrete of non anti-freeze agent without decline of strength until later age. When anti-freezing agent is added by 3.0% to binder, it gives good effects on the performance of the fresh and harden concrete.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the curing effect of planar surface heater for concreting in cold weather. Some experiments were conducted to evaluate the temperature history of concrete structures cured with heating sheets. Results are as follows ; (1) The temperature of concrete showed continuously rising trend with the heating by planar surface heater under the cold environmental condition of 3~-12$^{\circ}C$. And after about 24 hours the maximum temperature of concrete was reached at 25~3$0^{\circ}C$. (2) The temperature of slab concrete heated by planar surface heater of 130W/$m^2$ was at least $25^{\circ}C$ higher than that of an exterior air, and the curing performance was much more effective than heating by hot wind machine. (3) Through the curing by planar surface heater for 48 hours, the concrete maturity of about 1.5 times to heating by hot wind machine was acquired.

This study is to analyze and compare improved curing sheet with blue sheet in order to verify the performance related to tensile stress. As results, it is confirmed that improved curing sheet(MP+BBS1) is better than the blue sheet at using field already. Synthetically, curing sheet improved by MP is analyzed to be available instead of the original because it is superior to tensile stress.
