To improve concrete quality one of the most widely used chemical admixtures is polycarboxylate type superplasticizer. Unlike lignosulfonate and naphthalene-sulfonate, it has high dispersion property and excellent sustainable dispersion property for cement and concrete. Thus, polycarboxylate type superplasticizer has been widely used as a high-performance water reducing admixture together with silica fume in high-performance concrete and other applications for the dispersion of high-strength concrete over 100 MPa. However, even though there have been many studied on the dispersion of concrete by the structure of polycarboxylate type superplasticizer, there have a few studied that clarified the relationships between its rheological properties and microstructure properties in the early hydration behavior of ordinary portland cement. To investigate the correlations between the rheological properties and microstructure of cementitious materials with polycarboxylate type superplasticizer, this study experimented on the rheology, pore structure, heat evolution, and consistency in early hydration as well as on the compressive strength by early dispersion characteristics.

Aluminum alloy(3003) can be dissolved during hydration process with hot tap water. In order to increase the stability of aluminum alloy, it was pretreated with anodization and phosphoric acid before hydration process. The effect of pretreatment on the surface property changes was analyzed with X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) and Inductively Coupled Plasma-Optical Emission Spectrometer (ICP-OES) and their results supported that the increase of hydroxyl group (-OH) on the surface formed during anodization and phosphorous acid treatment prevented the dissolution of aluminum alloy during hydration process at high temperature.

The purpose of this study is the hydration properties of motar using Blast-Furnace Slag(BFS) with water elured from recycled coarse aggregate. The results of the experiment show that the water eluted from recycled coarse aggregate mixed with blast furnace slag has comparatively higher hydration activity than the mortar not mixed with one in early-age mortar causing the calcium hydroxide in the recycled coarse aggregate to work on as a stimulus to the hydration of ground granulated blast furnace slag. BFS mixed with the eluting water the hydration reaction was a promotion.

Recently, as a performance based design concept is introduced, assurance of expected performances on serviceability and safety in the whole span of life is exactly requested. So, quantitative assessments about durability related properties of concrete in early-age long term are come to necessary, Especially in early age, deterioration which affects long-term durability performance can be occurred by hydration heat and shrinkage, so development of reasonable hydration heat model which can simulate early age behavior is necessary. The micor-pore structure formation property also affects shrinkage behavior in early age and carbonations and chloride ion penetration characteristic in long term, So, for the quantitative assessment on durability performance of concrete, modelings of early age concrete based on hydration process and micor-pore structure formation characteristics are important. In this paper, a micromechanics based hydration heat evolution model is adopted and a quantitative model which can simulate micro-pore structure development is also verified with experimental results. The models can be used effectively to simulate the early-age behavior of concrete composed of different mix proportions.

This paper investigates prediction models estimating the hydration properties of concrete, such as the compressive strength, the splitting tensile strength, the elastic modulus,and the autogenous shrinkage. A prediction model is suggested on the basis of an equation that is formulated to predict the compressive strength. Based on the assumption that the apparent activation energy is a characteristic property of concrete, a prediction model for the compressive strength is applied to hydration-related properties. The hydration properties predicted by the model are compared with experimental results, and it is concluded that the prediction model properly estimates the splitting tensile strength, elastic modulus, and autogenous shrinkage as well as the compressive strength of concrete.

Generally, the vegetable oil contains glycerin esther and free fatty acid. When the vegetable oil reacts with concrete, the glycerin esther from oil induces saponification by reacting with and hydrolyzing calcium hydroxide from cement hydration. As a result of this saponification, it has been reported the expansion of concrete. although the free fatty acid from vegetable oil, as an acid, can decompose the concrete by producing soluble salt from calcium hydroxide or CSH, the hydration products of cement, there was no report on the harmful oil type for concrete. therefore, in this research, the property change of cement mortar incorporating fly ash was analyzed experimentally by immerging various types of vegetable oils.

The shrinkage of high strength/high performance concrete is very important property for the good working of a structure since it very often generates early age cracking due to thermal and autogenous shrinkage. Autogenous shrinkage occurs as a result of internal moisture depletion due to hydration and temperature-induced effects. The level of autogenous shrinkage occurring due to hydration also depends on temperature history at very early age. It is necessary that effect of temperature on autogenous shrinkage is investigated since the stress generated due to autogenous shrinkage is quantified. In this study, Effect of hydration heat evolution on autogenous shrinkage of high strength concretes with W/C=25-40% was investigated.

Nowadays, due to the development of industrial and civil engineering technology, enlargement and diversification of concrete structures are being tried. At the same time, the hydration heat generated during the construction of large structures lead to thermal crack, which is occurs causing a problem that durability degradation.

In this study, change of hydration property with contents and type of gypsum in ternary natural hydraulic lime containing blast furnace slag and gypsum was investigated. Anhydrite, hemihydrate and dihydrate were added 3 % and 10 %, respectively in natural hydraulic lime adding blast furnace slag 20 %. Hydration and physical behavior due to solubility and reactivity of different types of gypsum were analyzed in early hydration. As a result of analysis of hydration properties, in all samples, hydrates such as ettringite and C-S-H were produced in early hydration, and amount of hydrates with increase of hydration time was increased. In the case of compressive strength, when contents of gypsum are 3 %, it was higher compressive strength than other specimens. At hydration 28 days, for addition of anhydrite and hemihydrate, compressive strength was more than adding dihydrate.

The magnitude and distribution of hydration heat of concrete structures are related to the thermal properties of each component of the concrete, the initial temperature, the type of formwork, and the ambient temperature of exposed surfaces. Even though the reinforcing steel bar has completely different thermal properties, it has been excluded in the thermal analysis of the concrete structures for uncertain reasons. In this study, finite element analysis was performed on the concrete structures reinforced with steel bars in order to investigate the effect of reinforcing steel bars on the temperature and stress distribution due to the heat of hydration. As the steel content increased, the maximum temperature and the difference in the internal-external temperature decreased by 32.5% and 10.0%, respectively. It is clearly shown that the consideration of the influence of reinforcing steel bars in the heat of hydration analysis is necessary to obtain realistic solutions for the prediction of the maximum temperature and stresses of concrete structures.
