Self-compacting concrete (SCC) can be placed and compacted under its own weight with little or no compaction. It is cohesive enough to be handled without segregation or bleeding. Modifications in the mix design of SCC may significantly influence the material's mechanical properties. Therefore, it is vital to investigate whether all the assumed hypotheses about conventional concrete (CC) are also valid for SCC structures. The aim in this paper is to develop analytical models for flexural cracking that describe in appropriate detail the observed cracking behaviour of the reinforced concrete flexural one way slabs tested. The crack width and crack spacing calculation procedures outlined in five international codes, namely Eurocode 2 (1991), CEB-FIP (1990), ACI318-99 (1999), Eurocode 2 (2004), and fib-Model Code (2010), are presented and crack widths and crack spacing are accordingly calculated. Then, the results are compared with the proposed analytical models and the measured experimental values, and discussed in detail.

The possibility of using a combination of mineral admixtures as a replacement for cement may reduce the $CO_2$ emission which causes global warming and climatic changes on the environment. By using the combination of different byproducts from various industries, for replacing cement in concrete leads to saving in energy and natural resources. In this article, an attempt has been made to study the mechanical and water absorption properties of concrete incorporated with combination of Fly ash (FA), Alccofine (ALC) and Collodial Nano Silica (CNS) at 7, 28 and 56 days curing period. Cement has been partially replaced by combination of FA at 25%, ALC at 10% and CNS at 0.5%, 1%, 2% and 3% with water cement ratio of 0.43. The result indicates that the incorporation of combination of FA, ALC and CNS can be very effective in improvement of mechanical and water absorption properties of concrete. The Mix with a combination of 25% FA, 10% ALC and 1% CNS is most effective in improvement of mechanical and water absorption properties as compared with all other mixes.

Experimental investigation has been conducted to study the effect of using Micro/Nano Silica in presence of steel fibers on improving the static response of reinforced concrete beams. Twenty-one mixtures were prepared with micro silica (MS), Nano silica (NS) and steel fibers (SFs) at different percentages. Cement was replaced by 10% and 15% of Micro silica and 1%, 2% and 3% of Nano silica in the presence of steel fibers at different volume fractions 0%, 1%, and 2%. 258 concrete samples, (126 cubes, 63 cylinders, 63 prisms, and six R.C beams), were investigated experimentally in two stages. The first stage was to investigate the mechanical properties of the prepared mixtures. The second stage was to study the static behavior of R.C beams, using the designed concrete mixtures, under a four-point flexural test. The results showed that replacing cement by (10% MS and 1% NS) produces the optimum mix with a significant improvement in the mechanical properties and the response of R.C beams under static loads. In addition, incorporating steel fibers at different volume fractions have a considerable effect on the flexural toughness of concrete mixes.

최근 노출 콘크리트에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있으며, 이에 따라 노출 콘크리트의 사용이 확대되고 있다. 그러나 콘크리트 구조물은 점차 복합한 단면 및 조밀한 철근으로 인하여 기존의 노출 콘크리트용 일반 콘크리트를 적용하기 어려운 실정이다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 노출 콘크리트에 고유동 콘크리트를 적용하기 위하여 플라이애시 및 석회석 미분말을 사용한 고유동 노출 콘크리트를 제조하였으며, 콘크리트의 품질특성(유동특성, 역학특성 및 표면특성)을 평가하였다. 실험배합은 OPC 및 LSP10을 기준배합으로 하였으며, FA 혼합률(0, 10, 15 및 20)에 따라 콘크리트 품질에 미치는 영향을 평가하였다. 실험결과, 고유동 노출 콘크리트의 유동특성, 역학특성 및 표면특성은 소요 요구 조건을 만족하는 것으로 나타났으며, 플라이애시 및 석회석 미분말의 혼합에 따라 유동성 및 표면마감성이 향상되는 것으로 나타났다. 이를 통하여, 노출 콘크리트용 고유동 콘크리트 개발을 위한 기초연구 자료로써 활용하고자 한다.

Contemporary, architecture calls for a wide range of surface textures and treatments. A surface compatible with the architecture's design may vary from a glass-smooth finish to one requiring special sculptured ornamentation. These surfaces require many different types of form sheathing and lining. The purpose, of study development new design form and made elaborateness shape. Easy to used in field that architecture finish material not used expect effective reduce of working hours, personnel expenses, architecture finish material, cost, through this study, we have figured out the best mix proportion for durability and glossability of glossing exposure concrete.

The use of ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS) from steel industries waste is showing perspective application in civil engineering as partial substitute to cement. Use of such waste conserves natural resources and minimizes the space required for landfill. The GGBFS used in the present work is of ultra fine size and hence serves as micro filler. In this paper strength and durability characteristics of ultra fine slag based high strength concrete (HSC) (with a characteristic compressive strength of 50 MPa) were studied. Cement was replaced with ultra fine slag in different percentages of 5, 10, and 15% to study the compressive strength, porosity, resistances against sulfate attack, sorptivity and chloride ion penetration. The experiments to study compressive strength were conducted for different ages of concrete such as 7, 28, 56, and 90 days. From the detailed investigations with 16 mix combinations, 10% ultra fine slag give better results in terms of strength and durability characteristics.

The purpose of this study is to design and to apply the self-compaction concrete mixture to field, having not only high strength but also compensation for shrinkage without thermal crack under 4 sides outer restraint of the member. In the experimental mix, replacement ratio of limestone Powder, CSA expansive additives, and unit water were selected as parameters, using portland blast-furnace slag cement. And, bleeding test, expansibility test, hydration heat analysis were performed. As a results, when Cement is replaced with 35% limestone Powder, 6% CSA expansive additives at unit water 175kg/$m^3$, demanded performances of fresh and hardened self-compaction concrete are accomplished in the field application.

A fundamental study was executed in order to evaluate quantitatively the effect on strength characteristic of concrete or mortar by fly ash. As a result, it was confirmed that the appropriate usage of fly ash is in existence comply with mix condition and characteristic of fly ash. And, we could evaluate the activity factor of fly ash. But, there are many problem in actual application because that the object of this study is only Method(2) out of the evaluation methods of activity factor proposed by CEN. Therefore, it is necessary to keep up an additional study.

This research investigates the rheological behavior and the confined water ratio of the cement paste and binder condition in order to predict mix design proportion of the high flowing concrete. The purpose of this study is to determine the optimum replacement ratio of binders including fly ash, and lime stone powder by the cement weight. For this purpose, belite cement, blast furnace slag cement and ordinary portland cement are selected. As test results, the confined water ratio shows the following range ; OPC>blast furnace slag cement>belite cement. Therefore, belite cement is proved very excellent cementitious materials in a view point of the flowability. The optimum replacement ratio of lime stone powder is shown over $30\%$ in case of belite cement and about $10\%$ in case of slag cement type. Also, the optimum replacement ratio of fly ash is shown $30\%$ by the cement weight considering the confined water ratio and deformable coefficient of the paste condition.

본 본문에서는 실리카 흄을 사용한 고강도 콘크리트의 제조와 역학적 특성 및 최적 배합에 대한 실험적 연구를 수행하였다. 본 본문에서는 주요 실험변수를 물-시멘트비와 혼화재인 실리카 흄의 혼입량으로 정하였으며, 압축강도 및 휨강도와 합렬인장강도 특성을 분석하였다. 실리카흄의 혼입으로 강도가 증가함을 발견하였으나 어느 범위이상의 과도한 혼입은 오히려 강도를 저해하는 것으로 나타났다. 물-시멘트비 0.28에서는 실리카 흄 혼입량이 5%일 때 최대의 강도가 나타났고, 물-시멘트비 0.40에서는 15%, 물-시멘트비 0.55에서는 20%혼입에서 가장 큰 강도가 나타났다. 또한 본 연구에서는 압축강도와 물-시멘트비 및 실리카 흄량 사이의 관계를 도출하여 그 관게식을 제시하였으며, 이 식으로부터 소요강도를 위한 본 배합변수를 유추할 수 있다. 본 연구결과 물-시멘트비 효과와 실리카 흄의 효과가 상쇄되는 구간이 존재하며, 따라서 이들 효과를 함께 고려한 최적배합을 도출하여 제시하고 있다.
