The Yang Pyeong bridge is high the occurred possibility of temperature crack by means of hydration Heat when the foundation of is constructed. Therefore, a pipe-cooling method was applied for reducing the temperature crack. Using the measured temperature curve when construction was carried out, the measured value and different facts were analyzed. In this paper, cause and analysis with respect to a mentioned above is to discuss firstly, and thermal characteristics of concrete and construction method hereafter is also discussed.

Nonuniform temperature distribution due to hydration heat induces thermal stress in mass concrete. At early ages, such thermal stress may induce thermal cracks which can affect on the durability ad safety of the structure. Steel fiber reinforced concrete may be useful when a large amount of energy has to be absorbed, when a high tensile strength and reduced cracking are desirable, of an improvement of thermal conductivity is desirable. In LG IPP Project, the upper part(50cm) of turbine foundation was replaced with steel fiber reinforced concrete to reduce the thermal crack induced by hydration heat. It was shown that the thermal crack control could be successfully achieved by steel fiber reinforced concrete.

매스콘크리트 구조물에서의 시멘트 수화열은 구조물의 균열을 발생시킬 만큼 큰 내부온도를 발생시킨다. 따라서 매스콘크리트 구조물에서의 설계와 시공단계에서 내부온도응력을 예측할 수 있다면 이와같은 균열로 인한 구조물의 피해를 예방할 수 있을 것이다. 그리고 수화열에 의한 온도증가는 타설초기에 발생하므로 크리이프에 의한 영향도 매우크다. 따라서 온도응력해석시 크리이프와 건조수축의 영향을 고려하는 것이 구조물의 안전성과 사용성을 정확히 파악하는데 필요하다. 본 연구는 먼저 매스콘크리트의 온도이력을 유한요소법에 의해 해석하고, 작용하중이나 온도이력을 크리이프와 건조수축영향을 고려하여 콘크리트 구조물의 응력과 변형을 유한요소법에 의해 계산하였다. 본 연구에서 온도이력 계산과 콘크리트구조물의 응력과 변형의 계산을 위해 작성한 프로그램 결과를 실제 구조물의 실험결과와 비교하였을 때 양호한 결과를 얻었다.

Cold weather concrete is the concrete which is used during construction under low-temperature' environment, and this kind of concrete has to be taken care not to be frozen in early ages of setting-hardening, It is specified in the Concrete Standard Specification(2003) as 'the cold weather concrete must be used on the weather condition under the average daily outdoor temperature below $4^{\circ}C$.' In this research, the mechanical characteristics and hydration heat on the cold weather concrete using high early strength portland cement were studied. As a result, the excellent quality was obtained and high early strength portland cement is expected to be used widely as the cold weather concrete.

In this research, a developed microstructural model of cement particles was presented to describe the cement hydration procedure. To simplify the hydration process, the whole hydration was analyzed in a series of sub-steps. In each step, the hydration degree, as well as the microstructural size of the hydration cell, was calculated as a function of the radius of the unreacted cement particles. With the consideration of the water consumption and the reduction of the interfacial area between water and hydration products, the micro-level expressions of the cement hydration kinetics were established. Then the heat released and temperature history of the concrete was carried out with the hydration degree obtained from each sub-steps. The equivalent age method based on the Arrhenius law was introduced in this research. Based on the equivalent age method, a maturity model was applied to describe the evolution of the mechanical properties of the material during the hydration process. The finite element program ANSYS was used to analyze the temperature field in concrete structures. Then thermal stress field was calculated using the elasticity modulus obtained from code formulate. And the risk of thermal cracking was estimated by the comparison of thermal stress and concrete tensile strength.

Large area members such as foundation concrete of underground structures in power plants have an effect on structural stability and durability of the structure due to danger of crack occurrence and shrinkage crack that occur owing to the difference of temperature by heat of hydration between inside and outside of the members at initial age. And a construction for waterproofness is performed additionally to protect marine structures from osmosis of seawater because the structures adjoin below the surface of sea. So, if a rise of the heat of hydration, crack, and corrosion of bars are controled effectively using a composite such as fluosilicate salt in concrete production process of a initial construction, expenses are cut down and construction hours are reduced by securing durability through improvement of watertightness. The property tests of adiabatic temperature by hydration are carried out at initial age about standard concrete and test concrete using a fluosilicate salt composite to evaluate an effect on improvement of watertightness for concrete structures in this study. And the experiments such as a permeability test of hardened concrete, a water absorption test, a compression strength test and a elongation test are carried out and the results from these are described.

There are many methods to improve the performance of concrete. Especially, granuated blast furnace slag. by-products used in concrete as the replacement material of cement, could contribute to improve the fluidity, resistance of chemical attack and strength of concrete. Also, it could contribute to decrease the rate of generating hydration heat, in addition to cost-down of concrete and prevention of enviromental pollution. Therefore, in order to establish the systemical application of granuated blast furnace slag in normal concrete, the engineering properties of concrete, such as fluidity, strength, setting and hydration properties etc.. was evaluated. In this study, replacement ratio of granuated blast furnace slag was 0, 30, 50, 70(%), and target slump was 8, 12, 15, 18(cm). Results from the experiment, granuated blast furnace slag showed the outstanding effects of improving the engineering properties of concrete. From now on, positive application of granuated blast furnace slag is expected in the point of improving the performance and cost-down of concrete.

Adiabatic temperature rise and autogenous shrinkage experiments were performed for three silica-fume included mass concrete mixtures and a reference mixture without silica-fume, in order to investigate the influence of silica-fume on the hydration heat and autogenous shrinkage properties of mass concrete, and to examine applicability of silica-fume to mass concrete. It was revealed from the experiment that, for mass concrete, the rate of hydration was hardly increased while the maximum adiabatic temperature rise decreased about 5$^{\circ}$C by the addition of silica-fume, and the amount of autogenous shrinkage was almost the same regardless of silica-fume replacement. These facts imply that silica-fume can enhance the resistance of mass concrete to temperature cracking as well as the durability.
