Recently, Trouble of sand supply is occurred according to exhaustion of natural sand resources. therefore, various measures are proposed for solution of trouble of sand supply and crushed sand among measures is used as one of most universal measures. but because crushed sand have poor particle shape and plenty of makes micro particle, the quality of concrete using crushed sand deteriorated. Therefore, this study evaluated engineering property of concrete with replacement ratio of crushed sand and applied evaluation result to fundamental data for quality control of concrete using crushed sand. The result of this study have shown that quality of concrete using crushed sand independently is poor against general concrete. but, the concrete mixing crushed sand with general sand can be similar in workability of concrete used general sand and increase compressive strength of concrete as against concrete using general sand.

Upon completion of new concrete structures, the achieved construction quality always shows a high scatter and variability, and in severe environments, any weaknesses and deficiencies will soon be revealed whatever durability specifications and materials have been applied. To a certain extent, a probability approach to the durability design can take the high scatter and variability into account. However, numerical solutions alone are not sufficient to ensure the durability and service life of concrete structures in severe environments. In the present paper, the basis for a probability-based durability design is briefly outlined and discussed. As a result, some performance-based durability requirements are specified which are used for quality control and quality assurance during concrete construction. The final documentation of achieved construction quality and compliance with the specified durability are key to any rational approach to more controlled and increased durability. As part of the durability design, a service manual for future condition assessment and preventive maintenance of the structure is also produced. It is such a service manual which helps provide the ultimate basis for achieving a more controlled durability and service life of the given concrete structure in the given environment.

There are only a few tests to ensure concrete quality before placing in domestic situ; One is slump test for workability, the other is air content test for durability, the concrete compressive strength which is one of important factors to influence on concrete Quality has been tested after 28 days placing. Methods on early judgement of concrete strength have been introduced for concrete quality management, but such methods are time consuming, expensive, and required special expertise. Therefore, these have difficulty in situ application for concrete management. This study aimed at reviewing application of estimated equation of compressive strength as means for ready-mixed concrete, making an estimated equation which enables to estimate 28 days compressive strength by using regression formula analysis on basis of mixing designs of ready mixed concrete and results of compressive strength.

Although construction company try to get good quality control it's enough to study about developing objective evaluation method and checking quality method. It is important to meaning concrete quality at placing point, immediate quality checking method is limited. The purpose of this study is to develop new method to know early 28-day concrete for getting faithful quality control. The results of this study are as follows :1) With sealed molds, reduced moisture volatilization to more than 50% and enlarged 20% accelerated compressive strength than before one. 2) Accelerated compressive strength of concrete specimen shows higher strength when it was in the air for long time 3)Interrelation with 7-day and 28-day strength were 0.781,0.90, It is higher than before one

The purpose of this study is to investigate quality of recycled fine aggregate manufactured by drying manufacturing system which is the manufacture method of high quality recycled fine aggregate, and to analyze on the fresh, hardened and durability properties of recycled concrete using it. Therefore it is to present the fundamental data for structural application of recycled concrete. The results of this study are as follows; Quality of recycled fine aggregate by drying manufacturing system is improved, and compressive and tensile strength of recycled concrete using high quality recycled fine aggregate are similar to those of normal concrete. But, durability such as carbonation, salt damage and dry shrinkage show decreased somewhat.

Currently, natural aggregates of good quality are hard to use because of continuous decrease of internal aggregate resource and regulation of gathering. So, use of crushed sand was being increased. On the other hand, skyscraper projects with 100 stories are being planned within the country and high strength concrete must be used to construct a skyscraper with 100 stories. High strength concrete is necessary to use crushed sand too because we are still unable to secure natural aggregates of good quality. So, This study indicated basic data necessary for mix design of high strength concrete through valuation of concrete property by quality variation of crushed sand.

Our country has experienced variations in temperature as belong to the area of the continental climate that shows four significant seasons. These occur immense difficulty on the period, cost, 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. In the early age, the strength of concrete is developed remarkably. However, the hydration is accelerated too much in high temperature or delayed too much in low temperature, so the quality can be changed and It can fail to get the objective strength. This paper aims to offer the data, necessary to the quality control handbook.

The increase of the use of recycled aggregate is necessary for the decrease of building waste, but it is not possible to use concrete because of the various range of quality. Therefore, the quality grade and application method of recycled aggregate should be prescribed before the site application so in that this study we investigated the effect of the quality of recycled aggregate on the compressive strength, resistance freezing and thawing. As results of this study, the compressive strength of recycled aggregate concrete used recycled aggregate, as if it had high quality recycled aggregate is similar or higher to that of crushed stone. Also, this high quality recycled aggregate affect the increase of resistance freezing and thawing.

Recently, high quality exposed concrete is needed to achieve high quality surface for outer wall of the building. In this study, to solve above characteristic of the exposed concrete we selected self compacting concrete(SCC) and compared with normal concrete. So, we developed the SCC mix design and performed the semi mock-up test. Through this result, we performed the pilot test and mock-up test to check surface of outer wall and to measure formwork pressure As a result because SCC is better than normal concrete with respect to flowability and seggregation resistance SCC is suit to a exposed concrete needed high quality surface for outer wall of the building.

The objective of this study is to investigate the properties of fresh concrete with recycled fine aggregates. Three different kinds of fine aggregate with natural, high and low quality recycled aggregates were prepared. The concrete mixtures were produced with test parameters of replacement ratio of recycled fine aggregate. The properties of the fresh concrete were measured by means of slump and air content according to elapsed time. Quality control method to maintain the constant total mixing water for recycled aggregate concrete was suggested. The all concrete mixtures were produced with approximately the same slump on the job site after an hour. Test results indicated that compressive strength of the concrete mixtures with constant slump is not affected by the replacement ratio of recycled fine aggregate. Therefore, the practical way for the quality control of recycled aggregate concrete is to maintain the constant total mixing water.
