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.

The aim of this study of to compare the development of compressive strength of high-strength concrete with maturity and investigate the applicability the strength prediction models. An experiment was attempted on the high-strength concrete mixes using portland cement replaced by silica fume of 10% by weight of cement, the water-binder ratios of mixes being 0.30 and 0.35, the curing temperatures being 30, 20, 10, 5$^{\circ}C$. Test results of mixes are statistically analyzed to infer the correlation coefficient between the maturity and the compressive strength of high-strength concrete. The constant of strength prediction equation were determined from test results, and the equation was adopted to predict the strength of slab(W80$\times$D100$\times$H20cm). The slab was cast in the laboratory from the same batch water-binder ratio of 0.30, and cores were cut from slab in order to estimate the actual strength. These values are used to compare with predicted value. The present study allows more realistic determination of early age compressive strength of high-strength concrete and can be efficiently used to control the quality in actual construction.

콘크리트의 강도발현을 양생온도와 재령의 함수로 나타내는 적산온도 방법은 시멘트 콘크리트의 강도추정에 폭넓게 사용되어 왔다. 본 연구에서는 열경화성인 불포화 폴리에스터 수지를 결합재로 한 경량 폴리머 모르터를 대상으로 하여 적산온도법에 의한 초기강도 추정방법을 구명하였다. 폴리머 모르터의 압축강도는 가사시간 및 강도발현성에 영향을 미치는 촉매 및 촉진제 첨가량을 변화시켜 실험하였으며, 또한 적산온도 이론식에 사용되는 기준온도를 산출하였다. 적산온도는 추정된 기준온도를 적용시킨 적산온도 이론식에의해 산출하였으며 경량폴리머 모르터의 압축강도는 적산온도-압축강도의 관계로부터 추정할 수 있었다. 이 연구에서 얻어진 적산온도법에 의한 경량 폴리머 모르터의 강도추정식은 열경화성 수지를 이용한 각종 폴리머 모르터나 콘크리트에도 적용가능할 것으로 판단된다.

성숙도는 콘크리트의 양생 온도이력에서 구해지는 것으로 초기강도 예측을 위한 하나의 유용한 지표가 될 수 있다. 즉 성숙도 이론은 배합이 동일할 때 성숙도 값이 같으면 강도값은 같다는 이론이다. 본 연구에서는 성숙도 법칙의 이론적 전개과정을 살펴보고 그 값을 계산하기 위하여 가장 널리 알려진 Nurse-Saul함수를 검토하였다. 또한 성숙도 함수와 기준온도(datum temperature) 설정을 위한 일련의 포괄적인 실험연구를 수행하였다. 성숙도를 강도값에 연관시키기 위한 여러 가지 성숙도-강도함수를 비교해보고 그 장단점을 분석해 보았으며 이를 통하여 유용한 강도예측함수를 제안하였다. 성숙도 이론의 적용에 있어서 고려해야 할 변수들을 도출하기 위하여 양생조건과 시멘트의 종류, 그리고 물-시멘트비등을 달리 하였으며 이 경우에는 습도나 초기양생온도 등이 변수로 채택되었다. 마지막으로 제안된 함수의 타당성과 정확성을 검증하기 위하여 콘크리트 슬래브를 타설하고 시간단계별로 콘크리트 코아를 채취하여 예측된 강도값과 비교하여 보았다. 본 논문은 실제 콘크리트 구조물의 초기강도 예측을 위해 매우 유용할 것으로 사료되며 현장품질관리에 효율적으로 활용할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

최근 시멘트 및 골재 등 원재료 값의 상승 및 세계적인 유가 급등으로 인한 운송비의 증가로 레미콘 제조원가는 상승하고있다. 그러나 레미콘 제조업체들 간의 과당경쟁으로 인해 레미콘의 납품 단가는 오히려 낮아지고 있는 실정이다. 이를 극복하기 위한 일환으로 레미콘 제조업체들은 레미콘의 제조원가를 최소한으로 줄이고자 하는 노력 중 하나로 고로슬래그미분말 및 플라이애쉬를 혼화재로 사용하는 업체가 증가하고 있다. 그러나 이러한 광물질 혼화재를 사용한 콘크리트의 품질관리에 대한 연구는 미흡한 실정이다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 고로슬래그미분말 혼합 콘크리트의 28일 압축강도를 조기에 예측하기 위해 열수양생법 및 표준양생에 의한 7일 압축강도를 이용하였다. 고로슬래그미분말 혼합률 별로 선형회귀분석을 실시하여 추정식을 제시하였고 90%의 신뢰구간을 나타내었다. 또한 실험의 신뢰성을 높이기 위해 모든 배합은 3회 반복하였고, 배합순서는 랜덤추출법을 사용하였다. 이러한 실험결과 열수양생법에 의한 1일 촉진강도로서 고로슬래그미분말 혼합 콘크리트의 재령 28일 압축강도를 예측할 수 있는 추정식의 신뢰성을 확인하는 성과를 얻었다.

Moist curing of concrete is a time consuming procedure. It takes minimum 28 days of curing to obtain the characteristic strength of concrete. However, under certain situations such as shortage of time, weather conditions, on the spot changes in project and speedy construction, waiting for entire curing period becomes unaffordable. This situation demands early strength of concrete which can be met using accelerated curing methods. It becomes necessary to obtain early strength of concrete rather than waiting for entire period of curing which proves to be uneconomical. In India, accelerated curing methods are used to arrive upon the actual strength by resorting to the equations suggested by Bureau of Indian Standards' (BIS). However, it has been observed that the results obtained using above equations are exaggerated. In the present experimental investigations, the results of the accelerated compressive strength of the concrete are used to develop the regression models for predicting the short term and long term compressive strength of concrete. The proposed regression models show better agreement with the actual compressive strength than the existing model suggested by BIS specification.

Assessment of the compressive strength of concrete plays a major role during formwork removal and in the prestressing process. In concrete, temperature changes occur due to hydration which is an influencing factor that decides the compressive strength of concrete. Many methods are available to find the compressive strength of concrete, but the maturity method has the advantage of prognosticating strength without destruction. The temperature-time factor is found using a LM35 temperature sensor through the IoT technique. An experimental investigation was carried out with 56 concrete cubes, where 35 cubes were for obtaining the compressive strength of concrete using a universal testing machine while 21 concrete cubes monitored concrete's temperature by embedding a temperature sensor in each grade of M25, M30, M35, and M40 concrete. The mathematical prediction model equation was developed based on the temperature-time factor during the early age compressive strength on the 1^st, 2^nd, 3^rd and 7^th days in the M25, M30, M35, and M40 grades of concrete with their temperature. The 14^th, 21^st and 28^th day's compressive strength was predicted with the mathematical predicted equation and compared with conventional results which fall within a 2% difference. The compressive strength of concrete at any desired age (day) before reaching 28 days results in the discovery of the prediction coefficient. Comparative analysis of the results found by the predicted mathematical model show that, it was very close to the results of the conventional method.

If predicting of compressive strength of construction in construction field at early age is possibile, rational strength management & schedule plan is possible. With method for predicting strength of concrete, many researchers have been making study of maturity method. On the other hand, nowadays rationalization of construction capacity and reduction of a term of works due to improvement of construction capacity and application of a new method of construction is gathering strength with important issue. In accordance with this present condition, construction is being progressed in winter, but proper construction mothed and countermeasure for strength management is not established in case of winter construction. Therefore to investigate application in construction field at winter of strength prediction model that developed at former study, this study aim to measure application of developed strength prediction model through manufacture of mock-up concrete according to kind of strength level at 5$^{\circ}C$.

This paper describes an experimental investigation of how time-dependent deformations of high strength concretes are affected by maximum size of coarse aggregate, curing time, and relatively low sustained stress level. A set of high strength concrete mixes, mainly containing two different maximum sizes of coarse aggregate, have been used to investigate drying shrinkage and creep strain of high strength concrete for 7 and 28-day moist cured cylinder specimens. Based upon one-year experimental results, drying shrinkage of high strength concrete was significantly affected by the maximum size of coarse aggregate at early age, and become gradually decreased at late age. The larger the maximum size of coarse aggregate in high strength concrete shows the lower the creep strain. The prediction equations for drying shrinkage and creep coefficient were developed on the basis of the experimental results, and compared with existing prediction models.

Prediction of the early-stage strength of concrete is useful for modernized concrete construction. An experiment was attempted on the high-strength of concrete produced by ordinary portland cement under the curing temperatures of 30, 20, $10^{\cire}C$ and the various mixing proportions such as water-binder ratio of 0.30, 0.35 and silica fume content of 10% by weight of cement. It is the aim of this study to investigare and compare the development of concrete strength with maturity and analyze the application of Maturity as a parameter to correlation estimate test results of concrete. They are statistically analyzed to infer the correlation coefficient between the Maturity and the compressive strength of high-strength concrete.
