Constructing large-scale mat foundation mass concrete is increasing for the stability of building structure, because a lot of high rise building are being built in order to make full use of limited space. However, It is of increasing concerns that because limited placing equipments, available job-site and systems for mass concete placement in construction field do not allow to place great quantity of concrete at the same time in large scale mat foundation, consistency between placement lift can not be secured. And also, it is likely to crack due to stress caused by the difference of hydration heat generation time. To find out the solution against above problems, this study is to reconfirm the performance of normal concrete designed by mix proportion and super retarding concrete. The Fundamental test shows what happens if low heat proportioning and control method of setting time are applied at the job-site of newly constructed high rise building. The test result show that slump flow of concrete has been somewhat increased as the target retarding time gets longer, while the air content has been slightly decreased but this is no great difference from normal concrete. The setting time shows to be retarded as target retarding time gets longer, the range of retarding time increases. It is necessary to increase the amount of mix of super retarding agent in the proportion ration by setting curing temperature high since outdoor curing is about 6 hours faster than standard curing, which means the temperature of the concrete will be higher than the temperature of the surrounding environment, due to its high hydration heat when applying in a construction site. The compressive strength of super retarding concrete appears to be lower than normal concrete due to the retarding action in the early stage. However, as the time goes by, the compressive strength gets higher, and by the 28th day the strength becomes the same or higher than normal concrete.

The hydration and cooking rate of two rice varieties, Akibare (Japonica) and Milyang 23 (Indica), were investigated in terms of mathematical rate equations. The hydration rate at temperatures of $10{\sim}40^{\circ}C$ was examined by weighing method. The absorption of liquid water by rice grain was directly proportional to the square root of the hydration time. The diffusion coefficient was given by the Arrhenius relation : $D=3.151{\times}10^{-3}\exp\;(-4000/RT)$ for Akibare and $D=5.853{\times}10^{-3}\exp\;(-5700/RT)$ for Milyang 23. Milyang 23 was cooked at a faster rate than Akibare. The activation energies for cooking were in the range of 18 000 cal/mole at $90{\sim}100^{\circ}C$ and 9,000cal/mole at $100{\sim}120^{\circ}C$. However, Milyang 23 showed slightly higher activation energy of cooking at $90{\sim}100^{\circ}C$. Adhesiveness and amylograph viscosities at all reference points for Milyang 23 were higher than those for Akibare.

The size distribution and changes of volume and grain hardness of ‘Sedohadaka', waked barley of various polishing yields during hydration process at various temperatures were investigated, and were analyzed kinetically, Both major and minor diameter of barley grain decreased linearly during polishing, and the decreasing rate of major diameter was greater than that of minor diameter. The volume change of barley grain could be expressed as a power of hydration time, and a break point was found in case of non-polished barley. The changing rate of grain hardness followed the equation of a first-order reaction, and the reaction rate constant increased with decreasing polishing yields and at higher temperature in the range of $20{\sim}60^{\circ}C$. The activation energy of hardness change reaction of polished barley during hydration were ranged $5.1{\sim}7.8Kcal/mole$, and 13.3Kcal/mole of non-polished barley.

Since there are $OH^-,\;[SiO_4]^{4-}$ ion of high concentration at early hydration in the system added with activator (NaOH+$Na_2OSiO_2$) in the blast furnace slag, different from cement hydration, hydration progresses fast without induction period and forms reaction rim around the blast furnace slag grain. $0.6{\mu}m$ reaction rim was formed around the blast furnace slag grain from the 1 day of reaction period, and the thickness of reaction rim increases over the reaction time, growing to $1{\mu}m$ on the 28 days. Unreacted blast furnace slag grain deformed from angular shape to the spherical shape. Mole ratio of Ca/Si tends to decrease from inside of blast furnace slag grain to reaction rim. Difference of Ca/Si mole ratio between reaction rim and inside the blast furnace slag grain decreased and generated hydrate was a poor crystalline CSH(I) with Ca/Si mole ratio less than 1.5.

In this study, initial crack index was evaluated by FEM analysis to find the crack propagation from hydration heat in precast concrete. As results, as the usage of hardening accelerator increased, initial compressive strength increased and setting time was shortened. Additionally, as amounts of hardening accelerators increased, the central temperature of concrete increased and the time to reach the highest temperature was shortened. It was demonstrated that the hardening accelerators accelerated the hydration reaction of cement, and caused the increase of hydration heat within the short period of time. Furthermore, the crack index for evaluating the heat level was performed by FEM. As results, there was no problem about the cracks, despite of the growth of initial high hydration heat. This is because of the increased tensile strength that is large enough to sustain the thermally induced-stress.

Calcium sulfoalumiante(CSA) was prepared for using natural calcite($CaCO_3$) and industrial by-products and wastes, such as $Al(OH)_3,\;CaSO_4{\cdot}2H_2O$. The mixture of raw materials was fired at 20, 400, 600, $1200^{\circ}C$ for 1h and cooled rapidly in air. The cement replaced by 10 wt% $C_4A_3S$ expansive additives was investigated by the measurement of the hydration products and compressive strength, setting time, expansion at wet curing condition. $C_4A_3S$ was found in x-ray diffraction pattern over the temperature $1200^{\circ}C$. The setting time or the cement pastes added clinkers fired at different temperature was shorter than ordinary portland cement. The compressive strength was higher than the ordinary portland cement about 20~30%. The mainly hydration products were ettringite, and $Ca(OH)_2$. The expansion due to the formation of ettringite during hydration decreased the drying shrinkage of hardened cement rather than the ordinary portland cement.

During soaking of soybeans in water at $4^{\circ}C{\sim}98^{\circ}C$, the volume gain of soybeans held a linear relation with the square root of soaking time regardless of soaking temperatures and showed a highly positive correlation with weight gain, which indicated that the volume increase of soybeans was basically due to the diffusion of water. The activation energies for the volume increase were changed at $40^{\circ}C$. The log time to reach a fixed moisture content showed a linear relation with the soaking temperature during soaking of soybeans at $4^{\circ}C-60^{\circ}C$. The z-value to reach 50% hydration was $50^{\circ}C-55^{\circ}C$.

Chemical composition of cement powder influences the setting time and early compressive strength development. The setting time increases as the amounts of zinc oxide and magnesium oxide are increased. For one day compressive strength development, a cement powder with a composition 90% ZnO, 8% MgO and 2% silica resulted in the highest strength (greater than 1, 090 kg/$\textrm{cm}^2$). Cement-forming liquids also need to be buffered, with both aluminum and zinc ions, for a good consistency and a higher strength of the zinc phosphate cement. These liquids control the setting reactions.

This study was performed to know effective control of crack occurred by hydration heat, restraint of multiplication of hydration heat, through mechanical test, strength test and crack control test using fluosilicate salt based anti-crack agent made from by-product during phosphoric acid manufacturing process. Mix proportions for experiment were modulated at 0.495 of water to cement ratio and addition amount of fluosilicate salt based anti-crack agent to $1.0\%$. Condensation time was late and compressive strength of hardened concrete cured at several days was executed to evaluate characteristics of crack control for concrete. It is ascertained that characteristics of crack control for concrete could be improved by an adequate addition of fluosilicate salt based anti-crack agent.
