Disposal of casting foundry fly ash generally depends on reclamation up to the present. This is the great loss from a standpoint of saving resources and utilizing industrial wastes. Therefore, a study on the reuse of fly ash as a substitute material for construction is necessary in order to utilize industrial wastes, to reduce cost and improve quality in producing concrete products, and to protect environment from pollution. In this study, methods for the reuse of the casting foundry fly ash, industrial wastes products, as an admixture for concrete are discussed. For this purpose, fly ash was extracted from casting foundry and tests of physical and chemical properties are executed. Also, various characteristics of concrete using fly ash as an admixture are experimented. Finally, the reuse methods for casting foundry fly ash are presented.

This study investigated the effect of horizontal casting joints on the mechanical properties and structural behavior of sustainable self-compacting reinforced concrete beams (SCRCB). The experimental research consisted of two stages. The first stage used four types of concrete mixtures which were produced to indicate the effects of cement replaced with cement waste at 0%, 5%, 10%, and 15% by weight of cement content on fresh concrete properties of self-compacting concrete (SCC) such as, passing ability, filling ability, and segregation resistance. In addition, mechanical properties such as compressive, tensile, and flexural strength were also studied. The second stage selected the best mixture from the first stage and studied the effect of horizontal casting joints on the structural behavior of sustainable SCRCBs. The effect of horizontal casting joints on the mechanical properties and structural behavior were at the 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% of sample height. Load deflection, failure mode, and theoretical analysis were studied. Results indicated that the incorporation of replacement with cement waste by 5% to 10% led to economic and environmental advantages, and the results were acceptable for fresh and mechanical properties. The results indicated that delaying the time for casting the second layer and increasing the cement waste in concrete mixtures had a great effect on the mechanical properties of SCC. The ultimate load capacity of horizontal casting joints reinforced concrete beams slightly decreased compared with the control beam. The maximum deflection of casting joint beams with 75% of samples height is similar with the control beam. The experimental results of reinforced concrete beams were substantially acceptable with the theoretical results. The failure modes obtained the best forced casting joint on the structural behavior at 50% height of casting in the beam.

The purpose of this study is to examine the raising of strength of concrete and workability using casting foundry fly ash. First, we conducted analysis of chemical components of fly ash. Then, we tested uniaxial strength of concrete at ages of 3, 7, and 28 days. As a result, we found that the strength of concrete using casting foundry fly ash is raisen up 16% than plain concrete when the fly ash is added 0.6% of weight of cement.

Until now, disposal of casting foundry fly ash generally depends on reclamation. This is the great loss from a point of view saving of resources and utilizing industrial wastes. Therefore, a study on the use of fly ash as a substitute material for construction is necessary in order to utilize industrial wastes, to reduce cost of production, to improve quality in producing concrete products, and to protect environment from pollution. In this study, concrete products(hollow concrete block and concrete brick) using casting foundry fly ash as a substitute materials for cement, are produced. And experiments are conducted based on Korean Industrial Standards. Finally, the used methods of casting foundry fly ash as a substitute materials in industry are presented.

Recently, Sea-sand containing high levels of chloride is being applied to on reinforced concrete structures due to the exhaustion of river-sand and environmental problems, which affects directly corrosion of rebar in the RC structures. In this paper, characteristics of corroded rebar before and after casting were studied. Test results showed that bond strength of rebar corroded after casting was decreased with increase of corrosion level more rapidly than that of rebar corroded before casting.

This study deals with cracking control of concrete deck in steel-concrete composite bridges according to the concrete slab casting sequences. In correlation studies between casting sequences, time dependent effects of concrete creep and shrinkage are implemented in the analytical model. Finally, the methods of cracking control in terms of concrete slump and relative humidity are suggested to prevent early transverse cracking of concrete slab.

Design and construction of freeform building technologies are being implemented to reduce time and cost due to the development of materials and equipments. However, production of freeform concrete segments takes much more time and manpower than typical due to disposable mold and various shape. Therefore, manufacturing technology of freeform concrete segments need to be developed for securing economic and constructive feasibility. The objective of this study is development of efficient casting technology for freeform concrete segments in a short time. This technology includes details about the fluidity of concrete and the sectional shape of freeform concrete segments. And problem of cost and time can be solved. Also, mold can be reusable and freeform concrete segments will be produced quickly and accurately. After this study, productivity study for validation will continue through prototype development and example application.

In recent years, domestic construction companies have developed a 200MPa grade high-strength concrete and promoting the superiority of each technique. However, applying design and construction practices of developed high-strength concrete are weak. Most applications is limited to partial use and then the actual examples only used as a layer of high-rise building outrigger with casting some test on basement' vertical structures. In this study, developed materials for separation casting through joint research have been examined economy and others by field application and improving the workability.

In this study, to examine the application of cast-in-place of high-flowable and high-strength concrete, an experimental study on the lateral pressure of a formwork was preformed. The experiment specimens, which have different casting height and casting speed were prepared. The lateral pressure and the change of temperature from test specimens were obtained. The maximum lateral pressure was shown to lateral pressure of fresh concrete. Immediately after placing, the lateral pressure starts to decrease and, after 12 hours, it showed a stabilization. The decreased tend of the lateral pressure was similar with normal-strength concrete, which appears stabilization after 3~4 hours from casting completion. The more casting speed is fast, the more maximum lateral pressure is high, but pressure reduction with the lapse of time was nearly similar. In addition, it was found that there was no direct relation between the hydration heat and the lateral pressure reduction.

When concrete is placed underwater, it is diluted with separating cementitious material and as a result the quality of concrete becomes poor. To solve this problem, antiwashout underwater concrete is increasingly used for the construction and repair of the concrete structure underwater. The objective of this study is to investigate the characteristics of antiwashout underwater concrete as to the mix proportion, casting and curing water through experimental researches. The unit weight of water and cement, water-cement ratio, fine aggregate ratio, unit weight of antiwashout underwater agent and superplasticizer, and casting and curing water were chosen to measure the suspended solids, pH, air contents, slump flow, unit weight of hardened concrete, and compressive strength. From this study, the incremental modulus at mix proportion design and unit weight of antiwashout underwater agent were increased more than fresh water, and it is a optimum mix proportion that the unit weight of water(and cement) is 230kg/$\textrm{m}^3$(460kg/$\textrm{m}^3$), waterOcement ratio is 50%, fine aggregate ratio is 40%, unit weight of antiwashout underwater agent is 1.2% of water contents per unit weight of concrete, and unit weight of supeplasticizer is 2.5% of cement contents per unit weight of concrete when the antiwashout underwater concrete is used for the underwater work of ocean.
