In this study, the feasibility of the durometer into super retarding concrete was studied by comparing the penetration resistance with the hardness of each durometer using the penetration resistance and the improved Durometer and Durometer A-Type according to the ultra-delay mixture rate. The test results showed that initial setting time by improved Durometer and Durometer A-Type were fixed at 25, 50 HD, respectively, and the 35, 80 HD showed at final setting time. It was also found that the use of the durometer can be available to measure the setting time of the concrete.

The purpose of this study is to explore the possibility of estimating optimum surface finish time of the fresh concrete placed at the job site by applying a surface hardness test meter(Durometer). Tests are carried out by measuring and comparing the Penetration resistance test and hardness test by Durometer. Penetration resistance tester and improved Durometer are similar, but the higher the temperature, the higher the setting time, and the higher the correlation was shown. When the hardness value of the improved Durometer is about 50 HD, it is found that the initial and 80 HD represent the end. It is expected that this will be useful in determining the finish time of the surface at the actual site.

In this study, the Proctor penetration resistance test value and the hardness value of the improved Durometer were compared and analyzed for the change in the FA replacement rate of the concrete using CGS fine aggregate. The results are summarized as follows. It is. 1) The Proctor penetration resistance test value and the hardness value of the improved Durometer showed a high correlation in the form of a curve. 2) About surface finish Super-resolution with the improved Durometer is considered to be useful when using about 50 HD and about 80 HD in the end to determine the surface finishing work time.

Background Skin grafting is a relatively simple and thus widely used procedure. However, the elastic and structural quality of grafted skin is poor. Recently, various dermal substitutes have been developed to overcome this disadvantage of split-thickness skin grafts. The present study aims to determine the feasibility of RapiGraft as a new dermal substitute. Methods This prospective study included 20 patients with partial- or full-thickness skin defects; the patients were enrolled between January 2013 and March 2014. After skin defect debridement, the wound was divided into two parts by an imaginary line. Split-thickness skin grafting alone was performed on one side (group A), and RapiGraft and split-thickness skin grafting were used on the other side (group B). All patients were evaluated using photographs and self-questionnaires. The Manchester scar scale (MSS), a chromameter, and a durometer were used for the scar evaluation. The average follow-up period was 6 months. Results The skin graft take rates were 93% in group A and 89% in group B, a non-significant difference (P=0.082). Statistically, group B had significantly lower MSS, vascularity, and pigmentation results than group A (P<0.05 for all). However, the groups did not differ significantly in pliability (P=0.155). Conclusions The present study indicates that a simultaneous application of RapiGraft and a split-thickness skin graft is safe and yields improved results. Therefore, we conclude that the use of RapiGraft along with skin grafting will be beneficial for patients requiring reconstructive surgery.
