Recently, the construction of underwater structures has been gradually increased, but underwater concrete got some problems of quality deterioration and water contamination around cast-in-situ of construction. In addition, massive underwater structures such as LNG tank, underwater concrete structures of large and continuous high- strength subterranean wall under water are being demanded lower heat of hydration. In this paper, the mechanical properties of high-strength antiwashout underwater concrete (HAWC) containing with two kinds of mineral admixtures respectively were investigated. On the basis of these results, the pH value and suspended solids of HAWC manufactured in the mock-up test were 10.0$\Box$11.0 and 51 mg/${\iota}$ at 30 minutes later, respectively, initial and final setting time were about 30,37 hours, and the slump flow was 530$\pm$20Tm. In the placement at a speed of $27 m^3/hr$, there was no large difference in flowing velocity with or without reinforcing bar, and flowing slope was maintained at horizontal level. Compressive strength and elastic modulus of the cored specimen somewhat decreased as flowing distance was far; however, those of central area showed the highest value.

This study is to investigate properties of high strength.high flowing concrete using blast-furnace slag in temperature conditions of 5, 10, 15 and $20^{\circ}C$. The result of this study can be summarized as follows. 1) The use of blast-furnace slag leads to decrease of air content and increase of fluidity in the fresh concrete. 2) The early compressive strength of high strength.high flowing concrete containing blast-furnace slag is lower than the case with portland cement only. 3) The compressive strength development of incorporating in the concrete is poor at low temperature below about $15^{\circ}C$.

It is known that high flowing concrete performs much higher fluidity, segregation resistibility and better placeability than normal concrete. However, it is hard to apply high fluidity concrete in field because of high manufacturing cost. Therefore, we intend to investigate the validity of segregation reducing type superplasticizer which is made by combining 0.61 of viscosity agent and 0.022 of AE agent for 1 of superplasticizer. Test are conducted on high flowing concrete using fly ash by applying segregation reducing type superplasticizer. According to experimental results, As contents of fly ash increase, fluidity, segregation resistibility and placeability shows favorable results. And also compressive strength at early age shows to be retarded, while it gains high strength at later age.

This study is to evaluate the feasibility of the mix design for exposed concrete. Mock-up sized specimens were prepared, and a flowing concrete method was selected for placement. Results showed that the fluidity and air content of fresh concrete achieved target values, the compressive strength at 7 days was 27 MPa, and surface roughness was in the range of between around 1.53 and 1.68 ㎛, which was in the quality level. Therefore it is concluded that the proposed mix design for exposed concrete can be applied in practice.

This experimental study was performed to produce high flowing nomal strength concrete using viscosity agent. Test variables were selected to the viscosity agent contents with 4 levels, the cement contents with 5 levels and the coarse aggregate contents with 3 levels, etc. As a result, the high flowing and filling properties of concrete were obtatined by proper amount of viscosity agent and superplasticizer in the normal strength concrete. For the concrete mix proportions, it was found that unit weight of cement was more than 364kg/㎥ and volume of coarse aggregate was less than $280\ell/\textrm{m}^3$ in this study.

This study investigates experimentally into the design factors and quality variations having an effect on the properties of the combined high flowing concrete to be poured in the slurry wall of Inchon LNG in-ground receiving terminal. Especially, high belite cement and lime stone powder as cementitious materials and viscosity agent in order to improve self-compaction and hydration heat are used in this study. Water-cement ratio(W/C), fine aggregate volume ratio(Sr) and coarse aggregate volume ratio(Gv) as design factors of the combined high flowing concrete are applied to determine the optimum mix design proportion. Also quality variations for sensitivity test are selected items as followings. (1)Surface moisture(5cases) and (2)Fineness modulus of fine aggregate(5cases), (3)Concrete temperature(3cases), (4)Specific surface(3cases) and particle size of lime stone powder. As experimental results, water-cement ratio, fine and coarse aggregate volume ratio are shown as the optimum range 51%, 43% and 53% separately considering site condition of slurry wall. Also quality factors by sensitivity test should be controlled in the following ranges. (1) Surface moisture :to.67% and (2)Fineness modulus 2.6$\pm$0.2 of fine aggregate, (3)Concrete temperature l0-20t, (4) Specific surface 6,000$\textrm{cm}^2$/g and particle size 9.7$\pm$1.0${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ of lime stone powder. Based on the results of this study, the optimum mix design proportion of the combined high flowing concrete are selected and poured successfully in the slurry wall of LNG in-ground tank.

초유동콘크리트는 유동성 증진 및 충전성 향상을 위해 단위분체량을 크게하기 때문에 콘크리트의 고강도화와 수화발열량을 증가시키는 문제점을 가지고 있다. 이에 본 연구는 초유동콘크리트의 강도조절과 수화열 저감을 위해 쇄석분을 이용하여 초유동콘크리트의 강도, 유동성, 내구성능 및 건조수축 특성을 검토하였다. 실험결과 쇄석분은 치환율 10% 증가시마다 무치환시의 압축강도를 약 10~15%씩 감소시키며, 변형계수와 물구속비를 감소시켜 초유동콘크리트의 유동성 향상에 효과적이다. 또한 초유동콘크리트에서 쇄석분 10%치환시 마다 단위시멘트량 감소에 따른 최고 단열온도상승량을 약 4$^{\circ}C$씩 감소시켰다. 반면 건조수축량은 10%치환시 마다 약 5%증가시켰다. 한편 초유동콘크리트의 내구성능은 단위분체량과 유동성향상에 따른 조직의 치밀화로 쇄석분 치환에 관계없이 상대동탄성계수 90%이상으로 우수하게 나타났다. 이와 같이 분체로서 쇄석분 사용은 치환량에 따른 초유동콘크리트의 강도조절이 가능하며 수화발열량을 저감시킬 수 있다. ^ x Super flowing concrete causes high strength and the increase of heat of hydration because of the big unit powder content of concrete to increase flowability and to improve compact of concrete. Therefore, this study investigates the characteristic properties of strength, flowability, durability and drying shrinkage to control strength and to reduce heat of hydration of super flowing concrete using crushed stone fines. According to the experimental results, when crushed stone fines are increased every 10%, 10~15% of compressive strength is decreased and flowability of super flowing concrete is effectively improved due to the decrease of modulus of deformation and confined water ratio. When crushed stone fines are replaced every 10%, 4$^{\circ}C$ of the highest adiabatic temperature rise is decreased by reducing the unit cement. However, 5% of drying shrinkage is increased in the same condition. In the meantime, durability of super flowing concrete is excellent, having over 90 % of good relative dynamic modulus of elasticity due to fineness of formation caused by the increase of the unit powder content and the improvement of flowability, without regard to the replacement of crushed stone fines. Therefore, it can be said that the usage of crushed stone fines can control the strength of super flowing concrete by replacement and reduce heat of hydration.

This paper presents the results of field application test on the manufacturing of high fluidity concrete by applying flowing methods with segregation reducing type superplasticizer. Base concrete is made with 20% of fly ash, which is flowed during the transportation. According to test results, fluidity, placeability and segregation reducing performance meet the range of high fluidity concrete after flowing, while air loss occurs due to fly ash. There are no noticeable differences in compressive strengths between non-compacting and compacting methods. According to non-destructive tests with rebound and core strength test, we cannot detect any differences in strength according to the height in the structures.

Sand-concrete is being researched for potential usage in construction in Saharan regions of Algeria, because of shortage in coarse aggregate resources. This research work deals with the effect of dune sand, available in huge quantities in these regions, on the properties of flowing sand-concrete (FSC) prepared with different proportions of dune and river sands. Mini-cone slump test, v-funnel flow-time test and viscosity measurements were used to characterize the behaviour of FSC in fresh state. The 28-day compressive strength was also determined. Test results show that an optimal content of dune sand, which makes satisfied fresh and hardened properties of FSC, is obtained. Moreover, the obtained flow index (constant b) calculated by the help of power-law viscosity model is successfully correlated to the experimental results of v-funnel flow time.
