In construction industry, strength is a primary criterion in selecting a concrete for a particular application. The concrete used for construction gains strength over a long period of time after pouring the concrete. The characteristic strength of concrete is defined as the compressive strength of a sample that has been aged for 28 days. Neither waiting for 28 days for such a test would serve the rapidity of construction, nor would neglecting it serve the quality control process on concrete in large construction sites. Therefore, rapid and reliable prediction of the strength of concrete would be of great significance. On this backdrop, the method is proposed to establish a predictive relationship between properties and proportions of ingredients of concrete, compaction factor, weight of concrete cubes and strength of concrete whereby the strength of concrete can be predicted at early age. Multiple regression analysis was carried out for predicting the compressive strength of concrete containing Portland Pozolana cement using statistical analysis for the concrete data obtained from the experimental work done in this study. The multiple linear regression models yielded fairly good correlation coefficient for the prediction of compressive strength for 7, 28 and 40 days curing. The results indicate that the proposed regression models are effectively capable of evaluating the compressive strength of the concrete containing Portaland Pozolana Cement. The derived formulas are very simple, straightforward and provide an effective analysis tool accessible to practicing engineers.

콘크리트 포장의 장기 공용성은 시공조건과 환경조건에 크게 좌우된다. 즉 초기에 무작위 균열이나 균열틈이 많이 벌어진 경우 포장수명을 저감시키는 원인이 된다. 시공당시의 온도와 습도, 시멘트와 골재의 종류, 양생조건들은 콘크리트포장의 품질에 영향을 미치는 중요한 요소이다. 그 중에서도 대기온도와 수화열의 증가에 의한 높은 온도차이는 심각한 초기균열을 발생시키는 원인이 되는 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서는 차광막을 사용하여 콘크리트 슬래브의 온도를 제어하여 초기균열이 발생할 가능성을 낯추고 슬래브질이의 온도차이에 의해 발생되는 curling stress를 줄일 수 있었고, 강도에 있어서는 차광막 설치 구간이 일반시공구간보다 장기강도를 크게 할 수 있음을 확인하였다. 또한 콘크리트포장의 포설 후 72시간의 강도 및 응력을 예측하는 프로그램인 HIPERPAV를 사용하여 초기에 균열이 발생할 가능성을 비교해본 결과 차광막을 설치한 구간이 본 시험시공의 예에서 균열이 발생하지 않을 가능성(reliability)이 차광막을 설치하지 않은 구간(일반시공구간) 72.5%. 차광막설치 구간 95%로 나타나 차광막설치 구간이 차광막을 설치하지 않은 구간보다 균열이 발생하지 않을 가능성을 크게 증가시킬 수 있을 것으로 분석되었다.

In this study, prediction of later-age compressive strength of ultra-high strength concrete, based on the accelerated strength of concrete cured in 50, 60℃ warm water was investigated. W/B of 32, 23.5, 19% 3 levels were examined. And the specimens were cured in 50, 60℃ warm water. The results showed reliable accuracy by regression relation between 28day strength cured by standard curing method and accelerated strength of the concrete cured in warm water. And the specimens cured in 50, 60℃ showed more high strength development. So 60℃ curing could be considered in order to reduce the measurement error. As a result, the feasibility of 50, 60℃ warm water curing method at high strength level was confirmed.

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.

Concrete made with ground granulated blast-furnace slag(GGBS) has many advantage, including improved durability, workability and economic benefits. GGBS concrete is that its strength development is considerably slower under standard 20℃ curing conditions than that of portland cement concrete, although the ultimate strength is higher for same water-binder ratio. GGBS is not therefore used in application where high early age strength is required. However, hydration of GGBS is much more sensitive to temperatures, the strength development of GGBS concrete is significantly enhanced.

In this study, the fundamental properties of nonshrinkage high strength concrete using calcium sulphoaluminate cement (CSA cement) which was develiped at the Ssangyong Cement Ind, CO., Ltd. Were considered by some experiments. The concrete using CSA cement show a good workability and higher strength development in early age. And, the resultant compressive strength was also higher than OPC. The drying shrinkage of CSA concrete was much less than that of concrete made with OPC and expansive agent.In addition, the value of drying shrinkage was not dependent on the agitating time and the curing condition. Compared to that of OPC.

When the construction in a low temperature, the concrete performance is deteriorated by frost damage at early age. In this study, the form utilizing heating sheet and insulation is measured the performance to prevent frost damage at 10 below zero. It produced five types of the form and to measure the temperature history and compressive strength. At first, form attached heating sheet showed the highest temperature. But the form attached vacuum insulation showed the highest temperature ever since 12hours. In the case of compressive strength, the form attached heating sheet + isopink(polystyrene foam board) showed the highest compressive strength. It was followed by vacuum insulation. As a result, the form utilizing insulation and heating sheet helped to prevent frost damage.

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 aim of the research is analyzing the performance of the concrete IoT management system invented with similar technique from 'G' company to certify the performance of CIMS. As a results, the compressive strength assessing performance was compared. Since both systems assess concrete compressive strength with maturity method based on measured concrete temperature, both systems measured concrete temperature similarly, and maturity was calculated similarly. Therefore, the assumed compressive strength values were similar for both systems. Therefore, through the test, compressive strength assessing performance of CIMS was considered as a similar level of the 'G' company's system. Furthermore, it is considered that the CIMS has an additional advantage of reusability, adding capability of additional sensor, and wider range of Bluetooth communication.
