Frost damage of a storage tank for chemical admixtures caused by a low temperature in winter and quality deterioration of chemical admixtures have been often reported. However, there have been few regulations and researches related to the frost damage of chemical admixtures and facilities. Therefore, this paper is intend to investigate not only, the freezing points of chemical admixtures such as AE admixtures and water-reducing AE admixtures, etc., but also the quality variation of concrete used with chemical admixtures before freezing and after freeze-thaw cycles. According to the results of experiments, most chemical admixtures except anti-freezing agent and accelerating water-reducing AE admixtures should be kept from being frozen in low winter temperatures. However, full agitation of frozen chemical admixtures dose not cause the problems of concrete related to the quality of chemical admixtures.

These tests were conducted to get a device high strength concrete products in factory using admixtures for high strength concrete. The superplasticzer was used to compensate low slump of base concrete keeping its slump up about $6\pm1cm$. To examine the property for strength revelation of concrete using admixtures for high strength concrete, steam and standard curing were compared each other. Test results show that admixtures for high strength concrete is effective in steam curing and compressive strength 500kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$ is obtained at one day, 650kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$ at 28days as added to concrete at the ratio of 10-15%, and 740kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$ at the ratio of 30%. Therefore admixtures for high strength concrete is effective in steam curing and make it possible to get high strength concrete using only steam curing not using autoclave curing.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the workability and strength of concrete containing admixtures. For this purpose, four kinds of admixtures such as silica fume, fly ash, ground granulated blast-furnace, rice husk ash are selected and tested on the workability and strength according to the replacement ratio of them. As a result, considering their workability and strength, the optimum replacement ratio of them were obtained for each concrete containting admixtures.

To improve the quality of concrete, we usually consider the reduction of water/cement ratio, the increase of concrete cover depth and the use of mineral admixtures. Reportedly, the use of admixtures make concrete more durable and tighten against water. But, it is needed to study more about the relationship between the admixtures and the chloride ion diffusion. Therefore, in this study, we focused on the chloride ion diffusion properties of the pozzolanic admixtures such as fly-ash, slag and silica fume which are known as being useful on chloride attack resistance when mixed into mortar or concrete. Furthermore, we treed to analyze the correlation between mortar and concrete using the admixture, which is useful for analyzing chloride ion diffusion mechanism.

This paper investigate that the effect of the concrete containing mineral admixtures(pozzolanic materials such as fly-ash, ground granulated blast-furnace slag, silica fume and meta kaolin) on the resistance properties to chloride ion invasion. The purposed testing procedure was applied to the concrete added mineral admixtures for 3~4 replacement ratios under W/B ratios ranged from 0.40 to 0.55. For the electrical migration test, Tang and Nilsson's method was used to estimate the migration coefficient of chloride ion. As a results, the W/B ratios, kinds of admixture and replacement ratios, water curing periods had a great effect on the migration coefficient of chloride ion, and the optimal replacement ratios of admixture had a limitation for each admixtures. Also, the addition of mineral admixtures by mass(replacement of OPC) enhanced the resistance of the mixture to chloride penetration compared with the plain concrete. The amount of acid soluble chloride ions and water soluble chloride ions were varied with the kinds of mineral admixtures. The compressive strength was shown related to the migration coefficient of chloride ion, the compressive strength increased with the decreasing migration coefficient of chloride ion. Below the 50MPa, the variation of migration coefficient of concrete added mineral admixtures was bigger than plain concrete.

In this study, the experiment was carried out to investigate and analyze the strenth properties and flowability of ultra-high strength concrete accroding to types of mineral admixtures. The main experimental variables were water/binder ratio 25.0, 27.5 and 30.0$\%$, water content 155, 160, 165, and 170kg/$m^{3}$ and mineral admixtures such as fly ash, silica fume and meta kaolin. According to the test results, the principle conclusions are summarized as follows. 1) In case of using admixtures, superplasticizer amount need more than plain concrete. 2) According to kinds of admixtures, the viscosity of concrete show much difference. 3) The compressive strength of concrete that use admixtures becomes low in early-age strength, but appeared by higher than plain concrete in long-term strength. 4) Meta kaolin is excellent in side but has viscosity enlargement efficiency a little. But, problem estimates that is not to make design strength 600 and 700kgf/$cm^{2}$ if use mixing condition with water-binder ratio properly.

This experimental study is the fundamental report to use the ternary concrete. This study performed to know physical properties of ternary concrete according to replacement ratio of pozzolanic admixtures and curing temperature conjugation. To investigate Strength development properties of according to replacement ratio of pozzolanic admixtures, both fly ash replaced on portland cement in 5, 10 and 15% weight ratios and blast furnace slag replaced on the portland cement in 5, 15, 20, 30 and 40% weigt ratios was used. Also this is studied fresh and hardened concrete properties in condition of curing temperature $10^{\circ}C\;and\;20^{\circ}C$. The followings are the summary of which concluded in this study. Considering the concrete cured over 28 days compressive strength, most replacement ratios of pozzolanic admixtures were higher than plain concrete that. Compressive strength development properties of ternary concrete according to curing temperature conjugation were similar except for early age.

This paper investigated the chloride invasion resistance properties of concrete containing mineral admixtures(pozzolanic materials such as fly-ash, ground granulated blast-furnace slage, silica fume and meta kaolin) for each replacement ratios under W/B ratios ranged from 40% to 55%. For the electrical migration test, Tang and Nilsson's method was used to estimate the migration coefficient of chloride ion. As a result, the migration coefficients of chloride ion of concrete containing mineral admixtures were shown reducing with the use of mineral admixtures, and the compressive strength was shown related to the migration coefficient. From the correlation between compressive strengths and migration coefficients, the kind and replacement ratio of mineral admixtures have a great effect on migration coefficients below 50㎫.

This paper persents the characteristics and properties of the five domestic and foreign-made anti-washout admixtures commercially available in Korea. These admixtures have been analysed by experiments to compare among others specifically on the following items : air content, slump-flow, hardening time, pH, filling condition, turbidity, content of chloride, compressive strength of underwater concrete and ratio of ambient / underwater concrete compressive strength. The mix design for comparison has been set according to the Japanese practicesince there is still no guideline concerning underwater concrete available domestically.
