For initial stability of the tunnel, the primary support, Shotcrete and rockbolt shall be placed in the most appropriate time. This is because the role of such support plays a vital role in long-term and short-term tunnel stability. In this study, the rock bolt is an important supporting system that receives the external pressure generated by the stress relaxation during tunnel excavation as axial force and transmits it to the shotcrete on the tunnel excavation surface. Until now, most of the materials of rock bolts have been used in the field, but there have been many problems such as uncertain quality of Chinese materials entering the market, poor packing due to falling down of rock bolts when filled with mortar, and corrosion due to water. Therefore, in this study, we have developed a high strength steel pipe rock bolt using Autobeam material to solve and improve various problems of existing rock bolts. In order to evaluate the performance of the developed bolt, field tests were carried out and the existing mortar filler in order to improve the performance of the rock bolt, the design and construction criteria were studied and the results were included in this paper.

This study evaluates the effectiveness of a newly developed retrofitting scheme for masonry-infilled non-ductile RC frames experimentally and by numerical simulation. The technique focuses on modifying the load path and yield mechanism of the infilled frame to enhance the ductility. A vertical gap between the column and the infill panel was strategically introduced so that no shear force is directly transferred to the column. Steel brackets and small vertical steel members were then provided to transfer the interactive forces between the RC frame and the masonry panel. Wire meshes and high-strength mortar were provided in areas with high stress concentration and in the panel to further reduce damage. Cyclic load tests on a large-scale specimen of a single-bay, single-story, masonry-infilled RC frame were carried out. Based on those tests, the retrofitting scheme provided significant improvement, especially in terms of ductility enhancement. All retrofitted specimens clearly exhibited much better performances than those stipulated in building standards for masonry-infilled structures. A macro-scale computer model based on a diagonal-strut concept was also developed for predicting the global behavior of the retrofitted masonry-infilled frames. This proposed model was effectively used to evaluate the global responses of the test specimens with acceptable accuracy, especially in terms of strength, stiffness and damage condition.

The fiber(NY, PP) known to the effective material on improvement of the fire-resistance of HSC(high strength concrete) has a difference for fluidity according to the variation of a length and contents of fiber. In this study, to analyze the effect of a length and contents of the fiber on the fluidity of HSC and fheological characteristics, we calculated a viscosity of mortar by mini slump-flow, simple V-lot and viscometer. With the test results, the fluidity characteristic showed a moderate difference by a length and contents of the fiber, but showed a significant difference by increase of the fiber contents. ${\ast}$ AFR Concrete (Advenced Fire Resistant Concrete)

In this study, high volume of industrial by-products including blast furnace slag, recycled aggregate powder and incineration ash have been utilized on the slurry of the foamed lightweight concrete. As to decrease the price of the lightweight foam concrete, mortar based slurry and concrete based slurry has been fixed. As the variation of the foam conduction ratio and aggregates, the foam ratio and compressive strength has been tested. Results showed that using recycled aggregates in the slurry showed better effect than using natural aggregates due to the alkali properties of the recycled aggregates could activate the potential hydraulic properties of the blast furnace slag. Consider about the low price of the recycled aggregates, it could be identified that using recycled aggregates in high volume blast furnace slag blended lightweight concrete showed better compressive strength than natural aggregates.

Radical development has been made in the every field of our society for the past scores of year. Radical development of industry and lining environment has mass-produced various toxic wastes . Which comes to the fore as a serious environmental problem. The purpose of this is to suggest the optima mix design by studying the utility of a toxic waste, plated sludge as a building material and deciding the standards of quality and use of cement and evaluating the properties of mortar and concrete in which plated sludge mixed. From an experiment, compressive strength required high early strength cement or special cement. Watertightness proved to be excellent. Heavy metals, such as Cd, Pb, Cu came out below an environmental standard. Cr+6 exceeded an environmental standard under a steam curing, but came out below an environmental under a standard curing. The higher replacement rate was, the lower frost, fusion and resistance were. Thus, got better results above the goal by condition. It was possible that plated sludge was replaced and solidified to aggregate. Therefore, it is necessary to define the standards of quality on strength, replacement rate of wastes, water permeability, endurance in other to solidify plated sludge to concrete products.

OPC production requires high calorific value and emits a large amount of $CO_2$ through decarbonation of limestone, accounting for about 7% of $CO_2$ emissions. To reduce $CO_2$ emissions during the Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) production process, there is a method of reducing the consumption of cement or lower temperature calcination for OPC product. In this study, for energy consumption reduction, we prepared Hauyne-belite cement by calcination at a low temperature compared to that used for OPC and studied the early hydration properties of the synthesized Hauyne-belite cement. We set the ratios of Hauyne and belite to 8 : 2, 5 : 5 and 3 : 7. For the hydration properties of the synthesized Hauyne-belite cement, we tested heat of hydration of paste and the compressive strength of mortar, using XRD and SEM for analysis of hydrates. As for our results, the temperature for optimum synthesis of Hauyne-belite is $1,250^{\circ}C$. Compressive strength of synthesized Hauyne-belite cement is lower than that of OPC, but it is confirmed that compressive strength of synthesized Hauyne-belite cement with mixing in of some other materials can be similar to that of OPC.

The generation of fly ash tends to increase yearly so that this is currently considered a big environmental concern, which requires appropriate treatment approaches. In this research the consolidation of incineration fly ash by the hot-press solvothermal reaction was investigated to provide an alternative process for the treatment and utilization of this waste material. Results showed that at reaction conditions of 52 K treatment, 20 ㎫ pressure and 60 minutes treatment time, the resulting consolidate exhibited a compressive ness strengths of 37-40 ㎫, a tensile strength of 6.5-7.0 ㎫ and a Rockwell hardness of 20-23 RH15W. These properties are comparable to the compressive ness strength of Portland cement which ranges from 30-40 ㎫ as well as with the tensile strengths of mortar, ganite, artificial lightweight aggregate and solidified high connote whose values are 2-2.5 ㎫, 5-9 ㎫, 5-10 ㎫ and 3-5 ㎫ respectively- Furthermore, by mixing fly ash with glass at 50% ratio and then subjecting to similar treatment conditions, a consolidate with even higher tensile strength of 12.5-13.3 ㎫ and hardness of 77-80 RH15W may be achieved.

When industrial by-products like slag and fly ash are using in concrete with cement, it improves strength and durability against external deterioration factors by densifying the structure through potential hydraulic and pozzolanic reaction. But it has been pointed out that high dependence on the quality variation and the curing condition using a admixure material for concrete. In this study, the characteristics of internal micropore structure according to curing condition were analyzed for pastes and mortar specimens under using blast furnace slag powder. As a result, the variation of compressive strength and the internal microstructure were observed according to curing conditions by binder type. Particularly, using blast furnace slag powder, decrease in compressive strength were clearly observed in indoor and carbonation curing compared with water curing. The pore structure analysis also clearly observed the decrease of the gel pore existing in the CSH hydrate layer and the increase of the capillary pore in indoor and carbonation curing compared with water curing condition.
