High fluidity concrete has excellent workability, and if the cross-section of the building is complicated, it is possible to place good quality concrete and increase the construction speed, so its utility value is very high. However, it is premised on the accuracy of concrete formwork assembly. Concrete leakage through formwork gaps is an important consideration when applying high flow concrete. In order to quickly solve the leak of high fluidity concrete caused by formwork gap occurring at the site by accelerator injection, we proceeded with research to confirm the possibility of reducing the amount of formwork leakage of high fluidity mortar. It was confirmed that the injection of the accelerator could reduce the amount of mortar leakage.

This research is to reduce the formwork leakage of high-fluidity concrete caused by insufficient accuracy of formwork fabrication widely used for high-fluidity concrete to general strength concrete. However, in the actual construction site, because of the insufficient accuracy of formwork fabrication may cause leaking concrete of mortar through a gab of the formwork. Therefore, in this research, which builds on previous research into providing thixotropy with PVA and Borax, the use of thixotropy to reduce high-fluidity mortar leakage was evaluated. The results of the experiment proved that the use of thixotropy with PVA and Borax can contribute to reduction of the formwork leakage of high-fluidity mortar. This finding is expected to lead to further research on reducing leakage of high-fluidity concrete.

High fluid concrete unlike OPC concrete is made with various material, and the phase of fresh concrete is considerably different. In order to understand fluidity phase and mix properties of high fluid concrete, concrete is required to access as suspension structure which consists of aggregate and paste. The focus of this paper is to analyze the test results and quantify the effect of mix proportions of molar and fineness modulus of ,and on the properties of fresh mortar. The effect of water-binder ratio, sand-binder ration, content; of ggbs (by mass of total cementitious materials), and various contents of water reducing agent on the yield stress and plastic viscosity of the mix is studied. Based on the experimental results, the following conclusion; can be drawn: (1) The mixing time needed (or high fluid mortar was approximately two times more than that of ordinary portland mortar. (2) The fluidity phase of mortar could be explained by yield stress of mix and the fluidity of mortar. (3) As the content of ggbs increased, yield stress of mortar was decreased and plastic viscosity of it was increased. (4) For the high fluid mortar, it was appeared that sand-binder ratio should be below 1.5.

This study was evaluated influence of fluidity properties according to basalt fiber and high volume fly ash in the mortar level, as part of a basic study for development of fiber reinforced concrete using basalt fiber and high volume fly ash. In the first step, it was evaluated that fluidity properties of mortar according to replacement ratio 6 level of fly ash(10, 20, 30, 40, 50 and 60mass%) and fluidity properties of mortar according to content 5 levels of SP(1.3, 1.5, 1.7, 1.9 and 2.1%) and content 5 levels of VA(0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8 and 1.0%) for dispersion of the basalt fiber, in the second step, it was evaluated that fluidity properties of mortar using High-volume fly ash (50mass%) on 3 levels of basalt fiber length (6, 20 and 30mm). Results of assessment, if after a fiber mixed, it showed that viscosity agent is more effective to improve the fluidity and fiber dispersion than superplasticizer, high volume fly ash (50%) applying the mixing, due to three properties of fly ash, showed that the improved fiber dispersibility and flow improvement.

In this paper, the application of limestone grain, which produced by being gathered electrically in the process of manufacturing of cement, to high fluidity concrete are investigated. High fluidity mortar is used for this experiment. According to the experimental results, especially, high viscosity and the loss of air content are accomplished by applying limestone grain as the partial substitution of fine aggregates. In case of hardened mortar, high strength development at early age can be achieved by using limestone grain. But excessive dosage of limestone grain can cause high drying shrinkage.

Generally, when Fly-Ash was used as replacement material of cement in concrete, it might occur retardation of setting and hardening. So, it is unable to use a large amount of Fly-Ash as replacement for cement. However, if it is used as replacement material of fine aggregate in concrete, we can use a large amount of Fly-Ash and settle a problem of natural-aggregate exhaustion. Furthermore, engineering properties of High Volume Fly-Ash Concrete Is better than that of plain concrete But, the larger Fly-Ash is replaced, the more fluidity of High Volume Fly-Ash Concrete decrease, because porous organization of Fly-Ash adsorb water and Superplasticizer. In this study, after appending additional water to High Volume Fly-Ash Concrete in proportion to weight of Fly-Ash, we intend to find proper ratio which doesn't affect strength and satisfy fluidity As a result of this study, it was found that fluidity of mortar with 25~28 percentage of additional water was satisfied with fluidity of plain mortar, and compressive strength of that was similar to plain mortar's

Fluidity retention of concrete used high range water reducing AE agent(HWAE) is varied according to type, dosage amount and dosing method of HWAE. The type and substitution ratio of mineral admixture also have influence on the fluidity retention of concrete using HWAE. For the purpose of improving the fluidity retention in concrete used HWAE, 3 types of HWAE and ground granulated blast furnace slag(SG) are applied in cement-based composites such as cement paste, mortar and concrete respectively. According to using the HWAE of naphthalene sulfonates and SG, the fluidity retention of mortar and concerete is improving the fluidity retention and strength of concrete regardless of type of HWAE.

The effects of polymer-cement ratio and antifoamer content on the setting time and durability of high-fluidity polymer-modified mortars using redispersible polymer powder are examined. As a result, the setting time of the polymer-modified mortars using redispersible polymer powder tend to delayed with increasing polymer-cement ratio, regardless of the antifoamer content. The water absorption and chloride ion penetration depth of the high-fluidity polymer-modified mortars using redispersible polymer powder decrease with increasing polymer-cement ratio and antifoamer content. The water absorption and chloride ion penetration improvement is attributed to the improved bond between cement hydrates and aggregates because of the incorporation of redispersible polymer powder.
