Slag cement or ternary blended cement is mainly used for non-structural lean concrete for the purpose of foundation work or protection of the waterproof layer on the roof of buildings. However, such non-structural lean concrete has a lot of drying shrinkage cracks, which makes it difficult to maintain the quality of the structure. Therefore, in this study, the compressive strength and the drying shrinkage of ternary blended cement(blended of portland cement, blast furnace slag, fly ash from combined heat and power Plant) for non-structural lean concrete were examined. As a result, it was confirmed that this non-structural lean concrete reduced drying shrinkage compared to the conventional ternary blended cement using fly ash from power plant.

Latex modified concrete (LMC) has grown to be accepted as a standard material of construction overlaying bridge decks in America due to its superior physical and chemical properties. The properties of latex, combined with the low water-cement ratio, produce a concrete that has improved flexural, tensile, and bond strength, lower modulus of elasticity, increased freeze-thaw resistance, and reduced permeability compared to conventional concrete of similar mix design. LMC overlays have been service in excellence for 30 years on thousands of bridge in U.S.A. This may, also, prolong the life cycle of bridge deck once it is adopted in Korea. The self-contained, mobile, continuous mixer is most appropriate particularly for concrete quality assurance. Assuring quality on a bridge deck overlay project should begin in the design phase and continue after the construction is completed. Quality should be the concern of everyone involved-owner, designer, and contractor.

A new procedure for the advanced one-side measurement of longitudinal wave and surface wave velocities in concrete is presented in this paper. Stress waves are generated in a consistent fashion with a DC solenoid. Two piezoelectric accelerometers are mounted on the surface of a specimen as receivers. Stress waves propagate along the surface of the specimen and are detected by the receivers. In order to reduce the large incoherent noise levels of the signals, signals are collected and manipulated by a computer program for each velocity measurement. For a known distance between the two receivers and using the measured flight times, the velocities of the longitudinal wave and the surface wave are measured. The velocities of the longitudinal wave determined by this method are compared with those measured by conventional methods on concrete, PMMA and steel.

This paper presents a master-slave constraint method, which may substitute the conventional transformed-section method, to account for the changes in cross-sectional properties of composite members during construction and to investigate the time-dependent performance of steel-concrete composite bridges. The time-dependent effects caused by creep and shrinkage of concrete are considered by combining the age-adjusted effective modulus method and finite element analysis. An efficient computational tool which runs in AutoCAD environment is developed to simulate the construction process of steel-concrete composite bridges. The major highlight of the developed tool consists in a very convenient and user-friendly interface integrated in AutoCAD environment. The accuracy of the proposed method is verified by comparing its results with those provided by using the transformed-section method. Furthermore, the computational efficiency of the developed tool is demonstrated by applying it to a steel-concrete composite bridge.

This paper studies the influence of silica fume and Processed Quarry Fines (PQF) on the flexural behaviour of the reinforced concrete beams by experimental as well as numerical studies. The study has been shown that the incorporation of PQF can significantly increase the stiffness and the flexural strength of reinforced HPC beams. Also, the ultimate strength of specimens prepared with the 10% silica fume and 100% PQF are higher compared to conventional reinforced concrete specimen. Numerical analysis is performed to find the ultimate strength of HPC beams to compare with experimental results. Nonlinear behaviour of steel reinforcing bars and plain concrete is simulated using appropriate constitutive models and experimental results. The results indicate that the ultimate strength, deformed shape and crack patterns of reinforced HPC beams obtained through the Finite Element Analysis (FEA) are confirming with the experimental results.

Polymer-Impregnated Concrete(PIC) can be considered composite material of concrete and polymer and has superior properties compared to conventional cement concrete, such as strength, stiffness, toughness, durability, water-proofing, chemical resistance. However, so far, the usage of PIC has been limited to repairing materials and non-structural applications, due to the lack of the design criteria and the analytical model to determine structural behavior. The objective of this study is to define the stress-strain response and strength characteristics of PIC in uniaxial and various biaxial compressive loading. On the bases of experimental results, general stress-strain relation, biaxial failure envelope and strength evaluation formular of PIC made with normal aggregate and methylmethacrylate(MMA) are proposed.

Carbon fiber reinforced polymer(CFRP) strips have superior mechanical and chemical properties in comparison with conventional materials. The purpose of this study is to investigate the mechanical shear behavior of concrete structures strengthened by CFRP strips A total of 15 concrete members were made and tested. Shear span to depth ratio(a/d) and the spacing of CFRP stripswere selected as major test variables. From test results, it isshown that shear strengthening with CFRP strips can increase the first shear strength and ultimate shear strength of concrete members significantly. And the brittle shear failure mode can be changed to a ductile failure mode by CFRP strips.

Carbon fiber reinforced polymer(CFRP) have superior mechanical and chemical properties in comparison with conventional materials. And post-tensioning method has been used for structural reinforcement of RC structures due to easy installation and good effect of resisting capacity of structures. But the higher cost of CFRP and the loss of prestressing force with time are considered the major problems to use it. In this study, CFRP Strips and external post tensioning for rehabilitation of old concrete structures were adapted and optimal combination of these methods is considered. A total of 17 concrete members were made and tested. The types and numbers of CFRP strips and post-tensioning types were selected as major test variables. From test results, it is shown that the concrete members that post tensioned and bonded CFRP strips has a pronounced effect on the strength and deformational behavior. This present study indicates that external temporally post tensioning can reduce the amount of CFRP strips required and the combination of temporally post tensioning and CFRP strips may meet the strength and ductility requirements of old structures.

To select a most desired mix proportion that meets required performances according to the quality of recycled aggregate, a large number of experimental works must be carried out. This paper proposed a new design method for the mix proportion of recycled aggregate concrete to reduce the number of trial mixes. Genetic algorithm is adapted for the method, which has been an optimization technique to solve the multi-criteria problem through the simulated biological evolutionary process. Fitness functions for the required properties of concrete such as slump, density, strength, elastic modulus, carbonation resistance, price and carbon dioxide emission were developed based on statistical analysis on conventional data or adapted from various early studies. Then these fitness functions were applied in the genetic algorithm. As a result, several optimum mix proportions for recycled aggregate concrete that meets required performances were obtained.

This research study focuses on utilizing sandstone which is overburden waste rock in coal mines to use in concrete as a replacement of fine aggregate. Physical properties of sandstone like water absorption, moisture content, fineness modulus etc., were found to be similar to conventional fine aggregate. Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) analysis was carried out for analysing elemental composition of sandstone. There was no sulphur content in sandstone which is a good sign to carry the replacement. Fine aggregate was replaced with sandstone at 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% by volume and moulds of concrete cubes and cylinders were prepared. Compressive strength of concrete cubes was tested after 3, 7 and 28 days and split tensile & flexural strength was determined after 28 days. The strength was found to be increasing marginally with increase in sandstone content. Fine aggregate that was replaced by 100% sandstone gave highest strength among all the replacements for the compressive, split tensile and flexural strengths. Though increase in strength was marginal, still sandstone can be an effective replacement for sand in order to save the natural resource and utilize the waste sandstone.
