Ultra-high strength concrete becomes one of the main research areas because recently concrete structure is larger. The quality of aggregate (ultra-high strength and uniformity) as well as chemical admixture and mineral additives is a key factor for ultra-high strength concrete development. However, natural aggregate including crushed aggregate is inappropriate for ultra-high strength concrete because ultra-high strength quality cannot be maintained uniformly over whole natural aggregate lot. In this study ceramic aggregate was applied for ultra-high strength concrete in order to assure uniform quality of ultra-high strength aggregate. Ultra-high strength concrete was achieved by applying coated ultra-high strength ceramic aggregate to enhance the bonding strength between aggregate and cement paste. Also for actual application light weight ceramic aggregate(density 2.2 $g/cm^3$) with zero water absorption was tested.

In road pavements, it is known that cement concrete pavement has superior durability. But in repairing pavement, cement concrete pavement is not usually applied because of the length of time while the road is interrupted when using Ordinary and Rapid-hardening Portland Cement. And Super High Early Strength Cement and Ultra Super High Early Strength Cement are not favorable for ready mixed concrete because of rapid setting time, high slump loss and other restrictions. We developed special cement developing 1 day strength of over 30.0N/$mm^2$ to open the road within 1 day and workable time is maintained over 1 hour so that it can be used as ready mixed concrete. We performed experimental overlay construction with concrete and evaluated the properties of the fresh and hardened concrete. The flexural strength was over 5.0N/$mm^2$ and the compressive strength was over 30N/$mm^2$ at 1 day. So it is thought that the road can be open to traffic within 1 day after placement.

This paper presents the practical use of high strength concrete on 28-story Samsung Shin-dacbang Housing-Commercial Combined Building with 8-story basements located in Seoul. 700 Kg/$\textrm{cm}^2$ compressive Strength concrete was placed for basement core-walls and 500 kg/$\textrm{cm}^2$ concrete was used for structural frames up to 10th floor. The thermal sensors were installed prior to concrete casting into the core walls to measure the heat of hydration during hardening process. The correlation of core strength to the standard cylinder test strength was also discussed. The successful utilization of 500 and 700 kg/$\textrm{cm}^2$ concrete shows that the practical application of high strength concrete has a great potential to the high-rise R.C building construction.

High performance concrete is prone to large autogenous shrinkage due to its low water to binder ratio (W/B). The autogenous shrinkage of concrete is caused by self-desiccation as a result of water consumption by the hydration of cement. In this study, the autogenous shrinkage of high performance concrete with and without fly ash was Investigated. The properties of fresh concrete, slump loss, air content, and flowability as well as the mechanical properties, compressive strength and modulus of elasticity, were also measured. Test results was shown that the autogenous shrinkage of concrete increased as the W/B decreased. For the same W/B, the autogenous shrinkage of high strength concrete with fly ash was considerably reduced although the development of its compressive strength was delayed at early ages. Furthermore, the autogenous shrinkage and compressive strength of high strength concrete were more rapidly developed than those of normal strength concrete. It was concluded that fly ash could improve the quality of high strength concrete with respect to the workability and autogenous shrinkage.

This study evaluates the concrete shear strength for normal and high strength concrete beams reinforced with 3 type FRP bars (CFRP, GFRP, HFRP). Experimental results obtained from twenty-four simply supported concrete beams are compared with values predicted by FRP shear strength expressions proposed in the various literatures, including the ACI Committee 318 and ACI Committee440. The shear strength correction factors are proposed through the regression analysis.

Performance degradation of Ultra High Strength Concrete occurs more than that of normal strength concrete at high temperature. Thus, strain of concrete subjected to high temperature and loading is one of the core assessment items for evaluating performance of structures. Therefore, in this study, creep of ultra high strength concrete subjected to various temperature conditions and 25%, 40% loading was evaluated. As the results, Creep strain increased with increase of temperature and loading. Creep strain of concrete at high temperature is influenced by loading.

In order to estimate the reduction of laodbearing capacity, followed by the attributive change of heat while high strength concrete structure is revealed on fire it is necessary to evaluate, it is necessary to evaluate the property of material under high temperature such as thermal conductivity, specific heat, compressive strength, modulus of rigidity and diminution figure. Therefore, this study is for the purpose of presenting evaluation data for the analysis of thermal behavior about the high strength concrete material under high temperature, through the experiment by manufacturing concrete(40, 50, 60, 80, 100 MPa) commonly used in the construction field. As a result of the study, in the case of physical attribute, it demonstrates a greater fluctuation of change than the one of 30 MPa concrete. In case of specific heat, the high strength concrete, shown the serious diminution between $500{\sim}600^{\circ}C$, presents the thermal change area corresponding to the change of high strength concrete. In compressive strength, regardless of intensity of concrete, all of them show the first intensity loss between normal temperature and $100^{\circ}C$, the dramatic loss beyond $400^{\circ}C$. The concrete weighing above 50 MPa shows a twice lower dramatic intensity loss than the one weighing $30{\sim}40MPa$. The concrete ranging from $60{\sim}80MPa$, shows the biggest diminution of modulus of elasticity under $400^{\circ}C$, which implies the structural unstability of temperature.

Because of the high unit cement content in the concrete mix, major concrete temperature rises are observed in the initial stages of hardening in structural members with large cross-sections made of high-strength concrete. While this temperature rise in the initial stages of hardening contributes to the initial development of the concrete strength, it also causes thermal cracking and obstructs medium to long-term increases of the concrete strength. In the study reports below, investigations were made on the effects of the concrete temperature rise in the initial stages of hardening on the medium to long-term development of the strength of structural concrete between the ages of 28 and 91 days. In the study, comparisons were made, for example, between the compressive strength of a control specimen subjected to standard curing at 28 days and the compressive strength of core specimens taken from structural members, and observations were made on the methods of evaluating the concrete strength in structure, defined here as the compressive strength of core specimens at 91 days. The results obtained indicate that, when the maximum temperature of the concrete is the structure does not exceed $60^{\circ}C$, the concrete strength in structure at the age of long-term will generally be greater than the compressive strength of the standard-curing specimens at 28 days, allowing one to evaluate the strength of the structural concrete in terms of the compressive strength of the 28-days standard-curing specimens. When, on the other hand, the maximum temperature of the concrete in the structure exceeds $60^{\circ}C$, the strength in concrete structure may be smaller than the compressive strength of the 28-days standard-curing specimens, creating risks in the evaluation of the concrete strength in structure by latter.

This paper investigates the effects of aspect ratio and volume fraction of hooked-end normal-strength steel fibers on the compressive and flexural properties of high-strength concrete with specified compressive strength of 60 MPa. Three types of hooked-end steel fibers with aspect ratios of 64, 67 and 80 were considered and three volume fractions of 0.25%, 0.50% and 0.75% for each steel fiber were respectively added into each high-strength concrete mixture. The test results indicated that the addition of normal-strength steel fibers is effective to improve compressive and flexural properties of high-strength concrete but fiber aspect ratio had little effect on the modulus of elasticity and compressive strength. As steel fiber content and aspect ratio increased, flexural beahvior of notched high-strength concrete beams was effectively improved.

The aim of this study is to compare the development of compressive strength of high-Flowing concrete with maturity and to investigate the applicability of strength prediction models of concrete. An experiment was attempted on the high-flowing concrete mixes using Ordinary portland cement, High belite cement, Blast furance slage cement and replaced Fly-ash of 30% by weight of Ordinary portland cement, the water-binder ratios of mixes being 0.35 and 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-flowing concrete.
