The shrinkage of polymer concrete overlays to cement concrete causes interface shear, normal and axial stresses in the overlays. These can lead to deterioration of the polymer concrete overlays due to affection of adhesion polymer concrete and cement concrete. The shrinkage stress in the polymer concrete cause it to shorten and the shorting is measured: With the modulus of elasticity of the polymer concrete and strain known the stresses can be calculated. The purpose of this study is to provide the basic data of application of polymer concrete overlays such as bridge decks, highway and airport pavement repair and overlay materials. From the test results. It has been found that depending on the type polymer. overlay thickness, time after curing and temperature. the shrinkage stresses are eliminated by relaxation in time ranging from a few hours to a few days.

In this paper, an integrated system is proposed which can evaluate both the early-age properties and durability performance of concrete structures. This integrated system starts with a hydration model which considers both Portland cement hydration and chemical reactions of supplementary cementing materials (SCM). Based on the degree of hydration of cement and mineral admixtures, the amount of reaction products, the early age heat evolution, chemically bound water, porosity, the early age short-term mechanical behaviors, shrinkage and early-age creep are evaluated as a function of curing age and curing conditions. Furthermore, the durability aspect, such as carbonation of blended concrete and chloride attack, are evaluated considering both the material properties and surrounding environments. The prediction results are verified through experimental results.

This study investigates the temperature history of slab mock-up specimens for hot weather concreting applying various surface insulating methods, in order to improve concrete quality at hot weather condition. Test showed that the use of insulating blanket or a bubble sheet on upper section of slab prevented from abrupt increase of temperature and vaporization of moisture during early curing at hot weather circumstance. In addition, it secured higher strength at early age. Therefore it is concluded that concrete construction insulating with the bubble sheet will reduce the plastic and drying shrinkage as well as improve strength at early age, thus securing concrete duality.

In this study, creep deformation characteristics of high strength concrete under dry curing conditions were investigated. It was confirmed that the creep coefficient decreases as the compressive strength of concrete increases. In addition, a modified proposal for calculating the ultimate creep factor of the ACI 209 model can be derived using the measured values.

Deformation of a mold is measured and analyzed in alignment and curing processes of UV-Imprint Lithography. We are focused on mold deformation caused by a UV resin, which is laminated between a mold and a target glass-panel. The UV resin is viscous in case of liquid state, and the resin will be solidified when being exposed by the ultra-violet light. The viscosity of the resin causes shear force on the mold during the alignment process. Moreover, the shrinkage during phase change from liquid to solid may cause residual stress on the mold. The experiments for measuring temperature and strain are made during alignment and curing process. Strain-gages and thermocouples are used for measuring the strain and variation of temperature on several points of the mold, respectively. The deformation of mold is also simulated and analyzed. The simulation results are compared with the experiments. Finally, sources of alignment errors in large area UV-nanoimprint lithography are discussed.

Epoxy resin has wide application in various industrial fields because of their good mechanical strength, superiority adhesion and low shrinkage etc. And the typical curing method for epoxy resins is thermal and press compaction. However, a curing method was used electron beam process in this study. Epoxy acrylate was fabricated from mixture of epoxy, acrylic acid, tetraphenylporphyrin (TPP) and hydroquinone monomethyl ether (MEHQ) with mole ratios. Then electron beam irradiation effect on the curing of the epoxy acrylate resin was investigated various absorption dose in nitrogen atmospheres at room temperature. The dynamic mechanical and thermal properties of the irradiated epoxy acrylate resins were characterized using dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) and thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA). And the tensile and flexural strength were measured by an universal tensile machine (UTM).

Recently, lots of researches on alkali-activated slag (AAS) concrete have been carried out to resolve the environmental issues such as recycling by-products and global warming. AAS concrete would have high strength and high level of durability. On the other hand, it is known that large amount of shrinkage occurred in AAS concrete due to rapid alkaline reaction in the early age, and however, the related studies about autogenous shrinkage of high strength AAS mortar are relatively rare. In this study, fresh mortar properties such as flow and setting time, compressive strength and autogenous shrinkage of AAS mortar with W/B=0.40 to 0.50, were measured. AAS mortar was activated with sodium silicate (Ms=1.0) with 5, 6 and 7 % of $Na_2O$. Test results revealed that AAS morar shows larger autogenous shrinkage than OPC mortar and the lower W/B of AAS mortar, the greater autogenous shrinkage. Therefore, the application of appropriate curing and the use of shrinkage reduction admixture would be needed to reduce autogenous shrinkage of AAS mortar.

In widening of existing bridges, construction joints between old new parts of concrete slabs are subjected to repeated traffic loads during placing and curing of concrete. Therefore, the main focus of this paper is given to examine several construction methods of bridge widening. As a result, the occurrence of cracks in vibrating specimen is faster than non-vibrating one, but the difference between flexural strength and ultimate moment was negligible. Also, it shows the same result in other construction method, say direct and non-shrinkage joint specimen.
