In recent years, domestic construction companies have developed a 200MPa grade high-strength concrete and promoting the superiority of each technique. However, applying design and construction practices of developed high-strength concrete are weak. Most applications is limited to partial use and then the actual examples only used as a layer of high-rise building outrigger with casting some test on basement' vertical structures. In this study, developed materials for separation casting through joint research have been examined economy and others by field application and improving the workability.

As construction technology advances, most of concrete structures are becoming larger and taller. Therefore, high strength and high quality concrete is necessary for them. Nowadays, the proposal of using type IV(belite cement) is investigated to satisfy high flowing, low heat, and ho호 strength. In this study, the flow value and compressive strength of mortar were investigated according to usage of AE high range water reducer. And the slump flow value, falling time and heigth difference of concrete with beilte cement and ordinary cement were examined depending on water cement ratio, sand ratio and unit water weigth, and compressive strength to checked depending on age.

The development and improvement of advanced fuel cell systems is a major topic of current research, since fuel cells are considerably more efficient than other energy converters$^1$. In proton exchange membrane fuel cell and direct methanol fuel cell the polymer membrane represents a key component. The membrane materials fulfill complex requirements. It has to combine electrochemical stability, workability, high ionic conductivity, low permeation of the reactants (methanol etc.) (omitted)

The purpose of this study is to investigate the utilization of recycled fine aggregates as a material to apply to concrete curbs. This study also intends to improve the quality of recycling aggregates by adding an excellent polyester resin for the improvement of durability, anti-corrosiveness, and strength. The experimental mixing proportion was planned to acquire optimum workability and filling capability of resin mortar mixed with the recycled fine aggregate. The curbs products made for test have four type cross sections. Their flexible fracture load is 1,918~6,883kgf and their weight is 15.31~31.61kg.

Recently, self-compacting concrete is applied in order to achieve workability improvement and rationalization in construction. But self-compacting concrete using viscosity agent has a difficulty in practical use because viscosity agent is invested small quantity and by man-power. Therefore in this paper we have been focused on the development and practical use of self-compacting concrete by hydraulic composition containing the segregation-reducing agent. According to mix variable, we find out right quantity of water, binder and rate of admixture replacement, and also we find out the optimum mix proportion. In the result, self-compacting concrete by hydraulic composition containing the segregation reducing agent gave satisfaction with standard and its demand will increase in the future.

It was predicted that the most recent technological developments in concrete technology rely on enhanced admixture efficiency rather than on improvement in cement manufacturing. Four major commercially available of organic chemical admixtures are modified lignosulfonates (LS), sulfonated naphthalene-formaldehyde resins (SNF), sulfonated melamine-formaldehyde resins(SMF) and polycarboxylate(PC). In this study, various sulfonated melamine-formaldehyde (SMF) superplasticizers were synthesized via four synthetic steps and reaction conditions such as the mole ratio of melamine to formaldehyde was changed. After application of SMF superplasticizer to cement concrete, the physical properties including workability, slump loss, compressive strength were compared with SNF

The contiguous construction in downtown area requires an appropriate substructure construction method since it results in the insufficient working spaces and frequent public resentment by noise and vibration. In particular, Top-down method usually is applied for downtown construction, and followed by several difficulties in casting the slab concrete for substructure. In this study, we focus on the improvement workability for substructure construction.

Soft ground improvement is essential to enhance strength of ground for construction in reclaimed land or shore. There are many method of soft ground improvement, and vertical drain method was widely used in many countries including korea. As vertical drain method is to plant many Prefabricated Vertical Drains in soft ground, it promotes consolidation and enhances strength. The PBD(Plastci Board Drain) that is excellent economy and workability was widely used in many countries as Prefabricated Vertical Drains. Construction quality of PBD is affected installation depth, pressure, perpendicularity. This paper describes the system developed that can automatically measure installation depth, pressure and perpendicularity for PBD. This system can reduce fraction defective of construction by auto faulty alarm and keeps the safety of operator by auto control system.

Generally, aggregate may limit the workability, strength and durability of concrete, and good concrete cannot be made with aggregate of bad property including low strength, bad shape and grading. But recently, it has been insufficient in quantity to collect good natural aggregate because of exhaustion of aggregate resources. In case of Korea, the using ratio of crushed stone occupies about 97 percent of total coarse aggregate, and ratio of crushed sand occupies about 18.3 percent of total fine aggregate. This is an experimental study to compare and analyze the properties of crushed sand for concrete in capital region and concrete according to the replacement ratio of crushed sand to improve quality and mix design of concrete using crushed sand. According to test results, it was found that nearly all the properties of crushed sand satisfied with the value recommended by KS. And it is recommended that FM of crushed sand should be lowered by improvement of manufacture system or grading adjustment should be used because FM of crushed sand was a bit higher.

This paper is interested in the incorporation of crushed sand and desert sand in the composition the self compacting concretes (SCC). Desert dune sand, which has a fine extra granulometry, and the crushed sand, which contains an important content of fines, can constitute interesting components for SCC. Part II consists in studying the behaviour of SCC containing various sands with different origins. These sands, with different sizes, consist of several combinations of rolled sand (RS), crushed sand (CS) and desert sand (DS). The study examines the influence of the granular combination of sands on the characteristics in the fresh and the hardened state of SCC. The results of the experimental tests showed an improvement of the workability of the fresh SCC by combining sands of varied granulometry. The addition of the DS to CS or to RS allowed the increase of the mixture viscosity but decreased the mechanical strengths. Furthermore, the CS-RS combinations increased the compressive and the tensile strengths of the studied SCC. The optimized formulations of sands gave the highest performances of the SCC.
