The carbonation process is affected by both the concrete material properties such as W/C ratio, types of cement and aggregates, admixture characteristics and the environmental factors such as $CO_2$ concentration, temperature, humidity. Based on results of preliminary study on carbonation, this study is to develop a carbonation prediction model by taking account of $CO_2$ concentration, temperature, humidity ad W/C ratio among major factor affecting the carbonation process. And to constitute a model formula which correspond to the mix design of the nuclear power plant, test coefficient that correspond to the design of the nuclear power plant is obtained based on the results of accelerated carbonation test. Also a field coefficient which is obtained based on results of the field examination is included to improve the conformity of the actual structures of nuclear power plant.

To reduce the CO₂ emissions associated with the manufacture of portland cement (PC), an efficient alternative like an alkali-activated binder (AAB) is the requirement of the industry. To promote the use of AAB in construction activities, a practically implementable mix proportion is required. Owing to the several raw ingredients of AAB concrete and their associated uncertainties, partial replacement of PC by AAB may be adopted instead of complete replacement as per industrial requirements. Hence, the present study aims to determine an optimal proportion for partial replacement of PC with AAB and recommend a technique for it based on site conditions. Three modes of partial replacement are followed: combining all the dry ingredients for AAB and PC followed by the addition of the requisite liquids (PAM); combining the PC and the AAB concrete in two horizontal layers (PAH); and two vertical layers (PAV). 28-day old specimens are exposed to 10% v/v solutions of HCl, H₂SO₄, and HNO₃ to evaluate changes in mechanical, physical, and microstructural characteristics through compressive strength, corrosion depth, and microscopy. Based on deterioration in strength and integrity, PAH or PAV can be adopted in absence of acid attack, whereas PAM is recommended in presence of acid attack.

Roller Compacted Concrete (RCC) is a zero slump concrete consisting of a mixture of cementitious materials, sand, dense graded aggregates and water. In this study, an attempt has been made to investigate the effect of aggregate type on strength and abrasion resistance of RCC made by using granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS) as partial replacement of cement. Mix proportions of RCC were finalized based upon the optimum water content achieved in compaction test. Two different series of RCC mixes were prepared with two different aggregates: crushed gravel and limestone aggregates. In both series, cement was partially replaced with GGBS at a replacement level of 20%, 40% and 60%. Strength Properties and abrasion resistance of the resultant mixes was investigated. Abrasion resistance becomes an essential parameter for understanding the acceptability of RCC for rigid pavements. Experimental results show that limestone aggregates, with optimum percentage of GGBS, perform better in compressive strength and abrasion resistance as compared to the use of crushed gravel aggregates. Observed results are further supported by stoichiometric analysis of the mixes by using basic stoichiometric equations for hydration of major cement compounds.

This study focused on experimental evaluation of mechanical properties of pervious concrete mixtures with the aim of achieving higher values of strength while considering the associated costs. The effectiveness of key parameters, including cement content, water to cement ratio (W/C), aggregate to cement ratio (A/C), and sand replacement was statistically analyzed using paired-samples t-test, Taguchi method and one-way ANOVA. Taguchi analysis determined that in general, the role of W/C was more significant in increasing strength, both compressive and flexural, than cement content and A/C. It was found that increase in replacing percent of coarse aggregate with sand could undermine specimens to percolate water, though one-way ANOVA analysis determined statistically significant increases in values of strength of mixtures. Cost analysis revealed that higher strengths did not necessarily correspond to higher costs; in addition, increasing the cement content was not an appropriate scenario to optimize both strength and cost. In order to obtain the optimal values, response surface method (RSM) was carried out. RSM optimization helped to find out that W/C of 0.40, A/C of 4.0, cement content of about 330 kg/m3 and replacing about 12% of coarse aggregate with sand could result in the best values for strength and cost while maintaining adequate permeability.

The differential planetary gear reducer as a main component of the concrete mixer driving mechanism requires a strong torque to mix concrete compounds. As this component is currently dependent on imports, it is necessary to develop it by conducting a study on vibration analysis and the resonance problem. The noise and vibration of a concrete mixer reducer increase owing to the transmission error of planetary gears, and the damage of components occurs owing to the problems in design and production. In this study, the tooth-passing frequency is calculated to evaluate the noise and vibration of a mixer reducer, and a fast Fourier transform (FFT) analysis is conducted through a vibration test using an acceleration sensor. The vibration of the reducer is measured at three points of input and output of the shaft and planetary gear housing with fixed and variable revolutions per minute. The operating conditions of gears and bearings are evaluated by performing the FFT analysis, and the resonance problem is verified. The results show that No. 1 pinion and ring gears revolve disproportionately. The amplitude values appear high, and the wear of tooth faces occur in tooth-passing frequencies and harmonic components of No. 1 and No. 2 pinion-ring gears. Therefore, we conclude that design changes in the reducer and a correction of tooth profiles are required.

Zinc-rich epoxy (ZRE) is used to overcome corrosion problems in reinforced concrete (RC) beams and coat steel rebars to protect them from humidity and chlorides. An extra coating layer of Sikadur-31 epoxy (SDE) is utilised to increase bond strength because the use of ZRE reduces the bond strength between concrete and steel rebars. However, the low melting point of SDE indicates that concrete specimens are vulnerable to fire. An experimental investigation on flexural performance of RC beams incorporating ZRE-SDE coating of steel rebars that were destroyed by fire is performed in this study. Twenty beams of five concrete mixes with different cementitious contents were tested to compare fire exposure for coated and uncoated rebars of the same beams at room temperature and determine the optimal cementitious content. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was also applied to investigate characteristics of fired mixture samples. Results showed that the use of SDE-ZRE at room temperature improves flexural strengths of the five mixes compared with uncoated rebars with percentages ranging from 8.5% to 12.3%. All beams with SDE-ZRE lost approximately 50% of their flexural strength due to firing. Moreover, the mix incorporating SF (silica fume) of 15% and cement content of 400 kg/m³ introduces optimum behaviour compared with other mixes. All results were supported and verified by the SEM analysis and compressive strength of cubic specimens of the same mixes.

This study is aim to assess mechanical properties which is highly related to structural safe and durability of 100MPa high strength concrete mixed with amorphous metallic fiber. All specimens were heated with low velocity heating rate(1℃/min.), residual compressive strength and residual flexural strength was evaluated. The specimens were cooled down to room temperature after heating. As a result, in the case of 100MPa high-strength concrete, the residual compressive strength enhancing effect of amorphous metallic fiber has showed with the mix proportion of fiber. In addition, residual flexural strength showed more regular pattern before 300℃ then residual compressive strength, but simillar decreasing behavior was shown after 300℃ like residual compressive strength. Further study about fiber pull-out behavior and fiber mechanical, chemical property change due to temperature is needed.

콘크리트는 재료적으로 인장에 취약하고 변형에 취성이 크다는 태생적 단점을 갖고 있다. 콘크리트 조직에 인장에 강한 작은 섬유를 혼합한 섬유보강콘크리트는 이러한 취약점을 보완할 수 있는 좋은 방법으로 간주되었으며, 많은 종류의 섬유재료와 방법들이 제안되었다. 그러나 이 섬유보강콘크리트에도 아직까지 해결하지 못한 문제로서 균질한 배합이 힘들고 높은 체적비를 갖는 섬유 혼입의 어려움 등이 있다. 최근에 새로운 개념의 규칙적 다공질 금속(periodic cellular metal)이 개발되어 기계 분야에 많이 적용되고 있는 철선으로 직조된 카고메 트러스가 있다. 이 논문은 기존 강섬유보강콘크리트의 현실적 문제점을 해결하기 위한 방법의 일환으로 카고메 트러스의 적용 가능성을 검토하기 위한 기초 실험 연구 결과를 정리한 것이다. 3종류의 카고메 트러스로 보강된 실험체와 동일한 제원의 수직스터럽으로 보강된 보 실험 결과와 비교하였다. 그 결과, 카고메 트러스 보강 실험체에서는 강도와 연성이 보통 스터럽 보강 보 보다 더 우수한 결과를 나타냈으며, 복부 보강재로서 우수한 기능을 할 수 있는 것으로 판명되었다.

본 연구의 목적은 구조용 경량골재 콘크리트의 배합설계 절차를 확립하고, 설계강도로부터 콘크리트 목표 기건밀도의 범위를 평가하는 것이다. 본 절차를 확립하기 위해, 기존 347 실험데이터의 비선형 회귀분석 및 두 경계조건 (절대용적 및 콘크리트 기건밀도)에 기반한 수학적 모델을 구성하였다. 배합설계 모델제시 결과, 설계강도에 대한 물-시멘트비와 콘크리트 기건밀도는 굵은골재 체적비의 증가와 함께 감소하는데, 이 경향은 모래 경량보다는 전 경량골재 콘크리트에서 현저하였다. 경량골재 콘크리트의 기건단위는 설계강도에 따라 임의의 범위에서 설정되어야 하는데, 이는 제시된 모델에 의해 평가될 수 있다.
