Properties of concrete using low heat portland cement is different from using ordinary portland cement and temperature of aggregate can be expected to have an important influence on its properties. In this study, experiment by setting up 5 levels (40, 30, 20, 4, $-2^{\circ}C$) by temperature of aggregate for evaluation properties of concrete using low heat portland cement was conducted. The experiments include slump test, air content test, change of slump, change of air content and compressive strength of concrete test. As the result of experiments, slump and air content was decreased by increasing temperature of aggregate. But it was not exceeding it's limit. Change of slump and air content was rapidly decrease by decreasing temperature of aggregate. At early age, compressive strength was influenced by the temperature of aggregate.

Development of high-strength concrete and improved durability has brought new opportunities to the construction industry. However, some attention was given to characteristics of such concrete, in particular with respect to their cracking sensitivity. It has been argued and demonstrated experimentally that a low water/cement ratio concrete undergoes shrinkage due to self-desiccation. This so-called autogenous shrinkage cracking is a major concern for concrete durability. One possible method to reduce cracking due to autogenous shrinkage is the addition of expansive additive. Tests conducted by many researches have shown the beneficial effects of addition of expansive for reducing the risk of shrinkage-introduced cracking. This paper aimed at forecasting deformation of high strength cement paste with expansive additive for early age.

Application of nanomaterials to cementitious composites has been attempted with the rapid development of nanotechnology since the 1990s. Various nanomaterials such as carbon nanotube, graphene, nano-SiO₂, nano-TiO₂, nano-Al₂O₃, nano-Clay, and nano-Magnetite have been applied to cementitious composites to improve the mechanical properties and the durability, and to impart a variety of functionality. In-depth information on the effect of nanomaterials on the hydration reaction, the microstructure, and the mechanical properties of cementitious nanocomposites is provided in the present study. Specifically, this paper mostly deals with the previous studies on the heat evolution characteristics of cementitious nanomaterials at an early age of curing, and the pore and the compressive strength characteristics of cementitious nanocomposites. Furthermore, the effect of nanomaterials on the cementitious nanocomposites was systematically discussed with the reviews.

With development of IT technology, the ubiquitous has been realized in various industry. In construction industry, as well, end-edge techniques have been introduced such as managing technique the temperature and compressive strength of the concrete placed in structure in domestic and abroad project sites. However, several problems were found during application at the actual field regarding difficulties of connecting Bluetooth communication due to the short communication range, diffuse reflection caused by aluminum formwork, and high cost by using one-time sensor. Therefore to recover these shortages, and improve the performances, the wireless sensor network based concrete IoT management system for concrete early-age quality management was developed.

This study is attempted to propose an appropriate number of measurements by checking and statistically analyzing the change in hardness according to the number of measurements. As a result, there was no significant difference between the 20th and 30th data, and in the 10th case, the effect on errors occurring during measurement was found to be dominant. Therefore, as the number of measurements, proposing 20 times in consideration of the convenience of use. In addition, in order to minimize the effect on the measurement error, it is proposed to remeasure the surface mane of the measurement surface and the test value in which the error occurs on the average of the test values.

In this study, as part of the study to reduce and integrate heat of hydration of concrete, the performance change of super retarding agent is examined in the mortar area under high temperature conditions. It was confirmed that the setting time delay can be adjusted from several hours to several days depending on the high temperature and the change of super retarding agent mixing rate. With the increase of super retarding agents, the early age strength was delayed while at 28 days the use of super retarding agent results in an increase of strength remakably.

In this paper, setting and strength performances of concrete containing saccharic type super retarding agents are investigated under various kinds and contents of super retarding agents. According to test results, as super retarding agents contents increase, slump shows to be increased, while air contents decrease about 1∼2％. Setting time shows to be retarded considerably with increase of super retarding agents. It takes 20 days after mixing to reach final setting in case of concrete containing gluconic acid more than 0.3％. And 10 days after mixing in case of enhancing sucrose, white and brown sugar. Compressive strength of concrete containing super retarding agents is lower than that of plain concrete at early age. However, it keeps up with and exceeds the compressive strength of plain concrete at later age. White sugar md brown sugar shows positive performances in delaying setting time and strength compared to existing super retarding agents. n further investigations on durability are conducted, it is thought that application of white sugar as super retarding agent is available.

In this study, the characteristics of strength development and hydration heat on high volume fly ash concrete(HVFAC) was experimentally investigated. Two levels of W/B were selected. Seven levels of fly ash replacement ratios and two levels of silica fume replacement ratios were adopted. In the concrete mix, the water content of $125kg/m^3$ was used, which is less than that of usual water content. As a result, it appeared that the compressive strength gradually decreased with increasing fly ash replacement ratio at the early age, but the difference of strength up to replacement ratio of 50% was little at the age of 91 days because of the pozzolanic reaction of fly ash. The effect of hydration heat reduction on the concrete was affected by the fly ash replacement ratio. When the replacement ratio was over 30%, the reduction efficiency of hydration heat was large.

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the effects of admixture such as AE water reducing agent and Flyash on properties of cement mortar for floor. As for the effects of AE water reducing agent kinds, fluidity and air content increase in order for melamine type, lignine type and naphtalene type. As Flyash contents increase, fluidity shows high, but air content shows decline tendency. compressive strength according to AE water reducing agent kinds increase in order for melamine type, lignine type and naphtalene type. As AE water reducing agent content increases, it shows to be decreased. As for the effects of Flyash, it retards at early age but at later age it gains high with increase of Flyash contents due to pozzanic reaction. Drying shrinkage shows to be docreased slightly with increase of AE water reducing agent.

In this study, the potential use of indigenous natural loess(Hwangtoh) as a new construction material, via alkali activation in conjunction with microwave heating, was investigated. Hwangtoh pastes with three different mix proportions of varying alkali liquid concentrations at a constant liquid-to-Hwangtoh ratio of 0.55 were prepared. Through the investigation it was found that it is possible to prepare Hwangtoh paste with $19.02N/mm^2$ at the age of 4 hours with the alkali solution of 8M NaOH and 1:4.5 mass ratio of liquefied $Na_2SiO_3$ at the curing temperature of $60^{\circ}C$ by microwave heating. The strength development at early age of the alkali activated Hwangtoh paste specimens may be attributed to both a higher rate of reaction and moisture evaporation due to microwave heating.
