This paper is to investigate the effect of poor quality aggregate source used in Korea on the mixture proportion and strength development of the high strength concrete fixed at 450 kg/m3 of cement contents. For aggregate kinds, good quality crushed stone from KS certified manufacturer and low quality crushed stone from non certified construction field are used. For fine aggregates, river sand, land sand, sea sand and mixed sand are also used. It is found that the use of low quality aggregates resulted in an increase of water demand considerably due to poor gradation of aggregate and excessive fine particles. Test results indicate that the use of low quality aggregate also decreases the compressive strength compared with that of good quality aggregate.

Compressive strength is one of the most important engineering properties of concrete, and testing of the compressive strength of concrete specimens is often costly and time consuming. In order to provide the time for concrete form removal, re-shoring to slab, project scheduling and quality control, it is necessary to predict the concrete strength based upon the early strength data. However, concrete compressive strength is affected by many factors, such as quality of raw materials, water cement ratio, ratio of fine aggregate to coarse aggregate, age of concrete, compaction of concrete, temperature, relative humidity and curing of concrete. The concrete compressive strength is a quite nonlinear function that changes depend on the materials used in the concrete and the time. This paper presents an adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) for the prediction of concrete compressive strength. The training of fuzzy system was performed by a hybrid method of gradient descent method and least squares algorithm, and the subtractive clustering algorithm (SCA) was utilized for optimizing the number of fuzzy rules. Experimental data on concrete compressive strength in the literature were used to validate and evaluate the performance of the proposed ANFIS model. Further, predictions from three models (the back propagation neural network model, the statistics model, and the ANFIS model) were compared with the experimental data. The results show that the proposed ANFIS model is a feasible, efficient, and accurate tool for predicting the concrete compressive strength.

As the importance of recycled materials is being emphasized more in the Korean construction market, the production quality has been improved to a significantly high level. Compared to the high quality, however, there are used very limitedly. Among recycled construction materials, recycled aggregates produced through the retreatment of waste concrete are drawing attention because of lack of natural aggregate and heightened consciousness of resource saving and environmental protection and, as a consequence, they are close to natural aggregates in terms of production technology and quality. Despite the high quality and productivity, however,. the utilization of recycled aggregates is very low. Thus, in order to maximize the utility of recycled aggregates, the present study examined the usability of recycled aggregates using both recycled coarse aggregates and recycled fine aggregates together and derived optimal quantity and mixture ratio in the combined use of the two types of recycled aggregate.

Air exclusion test which is the way to assess the quality of the concrete is a part destructive test for minor damaging and accurate measurement. it has been well known but the test process is complexed, so it has been well known in foreign country but it is not usable in our country. For this experiment, it analyze its special quality through the inspection for the factor which effect to the result or accuracy for the Air exclusion test, and it examine through the experiment for the Non destructive test and cylinder compressive test which is different from the air exclusion test. We suggest the suitable classified table for the domestic concrete condition through the comparative analysis against the overseas result that has been suggested before.

This study make an investigation into the quality of sand supplied with remicon manufacturing plant and examine concrete influenced by a source of supply of sand. As a result of the indoor test, the quality of crushed sand, EEZ sand and sand of north korea are worse than general sea sand. therefore, crushed sand, EEZ sand and sand of north sand lower quality of concrete.

Development of construction technology and various condition is realized by high-rise buildings and so concrete placing by pressure pump has been developed in with the trend of large-size and high-rise building. So, it is judged that reservation of the basic data for standard of quality control standard Code by the prediction and this to a quality change exact here is urgent. In this study it is going to carry out experimental research for a physical-properties change searching examination of the concrete by the after pressure change factor which does not become hard by the pumping method of construction.

Our country has experienced variations in temperature as belong to the area of the continental climate that shows four significant seasons. These occur quality of construction. As the hydration of cement processes, the strength of concrete is developed. In order to improve the quality of concrete, various conditions including temperature and humidity should be maintained appropriately and concrete itself should be cured sufficiently This paper is basic experiment for estimating influence of strength by seasonal mock-up concrete's heat of hydration and estimate relationship of compressive strength development by curing temperature. And show basic document as quality control.

This study presented a simple test method of early decision on the quality of concrete by the way of refrigeration curing. It is a method of early decision for the quality of hardened concrete, after 28days, through the using refrigeration curing, at -18$\pm$$3^{\cire}C$ for five hours. I could find that there were fixed connections between the solidities after 28days and 48days, by the test of compression on the Re-Mi-Con through the test of standard curing and refergeration curing. (F = 1.02X + 13, $r^2$ = 0.964, S = 10.6kg/$\textrm{cm}^2$) I except that we can reduce the mistakes of construction work by forecasting the quality through the refrigeration curing.

Exact estimation of cement content in a hardened concrete can provide useful data to evaluate the quality and strength of the concrete and might be used to inspect the quality of precast concrete secondary products. Observation obtained in this research included : (1) the volume of coarse aggregate in the hardened concrete measured by the area comparison method has a high accuracy ; (2) the cement content in the mortar and the X-ray intensity of Ca-K$\alpha$ have a correlation factor of 0.96 ; (3) the cement content in the ready mixed concrete was estimated with high accuracy such as correlation factor of 0.99 and standard deviation of 0.64.
