This paper is to investigate the effect of the curing temperature on strength development of concrete incorporating cement kiln dust(CKD) and blast furnace slag (BS) quantitatively. Estimation of the compressive strength of the concrete was conducted using the equivalent age equation and the rate constant model proposed by Carino. Correction of Carino model was studied to secure the accuracy of strength development estimation by introducing correction factors regarding rate constant and age. An increasing curing temperature results in an increase in strength at early age, but with the elapse of age, strength development at high curing temperature decreases compared with that at low curing temperature. Especially, the use of BS has a remarkable strength development at early age and even at later age, high strength is maintained due to accelerated pozzolanic activity resulting from high temperature. Whereas, at low curing temperature, the use of BS leads to a decrease in compressive strength. Accordingly, much attention should be paid to prevent strength loss at low temperature. Based on the strength development estimation using equivalent age equation, good agreements between measured strength and calculated strength are obtained.

This raper investigates the effect of curing temperature on strength development of concrete incorporating cement kiln dust(CKD) and blast furnace slag (BS) quantitatively. Estimation of compressive strength of concrete was conducted using equivalent age equation and rate constant model. An increasing curing temperature results in an increase in strength at early age, but with the elapse of age, strength development at high curing temperature decreases compared with that at low curing temperature. Especially, the use of 35 has a remarkable strength development at early age and even at later age, high strength is maintained due to accelerated pozzolanic activity resulting from high temperature. Whereas, at low curing temperature, the use of BS leads to a decrease in compressive strength. Accordingly, much attention should be paid to prevent strength loss at low temperature.

This study reviewed the characteristics of concrete made of performance improving mixture materials based on KOH as a means to resolve the problems of initial quality reduction that result in concretes with blast furnace slag powder. Summarizing the results, first as the characteristics of fresh concrete, liquidity was found to reduce in general with increased BS substitution ratio. Objective range of liquidity was not satisfied in all mixes according to the use of performance improving mixture materials. Air capacity was satisfied to the objective range in all mixes. As the characteristics of hardened concrete, while compressive strength showed a decreasing trend with increasing BS substitution ratio at early age, increasing trend was shown by the plain with increasing BS substitution ratio at later age. On the other hand, K1 and K2 were only effective among mixture materials at early age, but K1F30 showed excellent strength at both early and later ages.

The curing temperature is known to influence the rate of mechanical properties development of early age concrete. In realistic sites the temperature of concrete is not isothermal $20^{\circ}C$, so the paper measured adiabatic temperature increases of four different concretes to understand heat emission during hydration at early age. The temperature-matching curing schedule in accordance with adiabatic temperature increase is adopted to simulate the situation in real massive concrete. The specimens under temperature-matching curing are subjected to realistic temperature for first few days as well as adiabatic condition. The mechanical properties including compressive strength, splitting strength and modulus of elasticity of concretes cured under both temperature-matching curing and isothermal $20^{\circ}C$ curing are investigated. The results denote that comparing temperature-matching curing with isothermal $20^{\circ}C$ curing, the early age concretes mechanical properties are obviously improved, but the later mechanical properties of concretes with pure Portland and containing silica fume are decreased a little and still increased for concretes containing fly ash and slag. On this basement using an equivalent age approach evaluates mechanical properties of early age concrete in real structures, the model parameters are defined by the compressive strength test, and can predict the compressive strength, splitting strength and elasticity modulus through measuring or calculating by finite element method the concreted temperature at early age, and the method is valid, which is applied in a concrete wall for evaluation of crack risking.

Reinforced concrete structure resist to external load caused by integration of steel bar and concrete and this integration is obtained from bond stress between steel bar and concrete. Researches of bond stress between steel bar and concrete have been performed by many researcher, but existent researches of bond stress are concerned with compression strength of well cured concrete and insufficient study of bond stress according to early material. The secure regular strength of concrete in early age is caused by rapid velocity of early hardening process, but questionable bond stress in early age is proportion to strength of that. So this study performed experiments to compare bond stress according to material age and compression strength. The result is showed that bonding strength in early material age compare the ratio of concrete compression strength with the ratio of maximum bond stress the later inferior on the former.

In this study, mechanical properties of type V cement concrete with different curing temperature were investigated. The tests for mechancial properties, i.e., compressive strength and modulus of elasticity, were carried out on two kinds of type V cement concrete mixes. concrete cylinders cured at 10, 23, 35 and 50℃ were tested at 1, 3, 7 and 8 days. The 'rate constant model' was used to described the combined effects of time and temperature on compressive strength development. Test results show that concrete subjected to high temperature at early age attains greater strength than concrete to low temperature but eventually attains lower later-age strength than that. With type V cement concrete, the linear and Arrhenius rate constant models both accurately describe the development of relative strength as afunction of the equivalent age.

본 연구는 양생온도의 영향에 따른 콘크리트의 장기강도 예측식을 개발하고, 기존에 보고된 데이터를 이용하여 제안식의 신뢰성을 검증하기 위한 것이다. 제안식은 반응률상수 모델을 이용하였으며, 콘크리트의 장기강도에 영향을 미치는 인자로 양생온도에 따른 확산장벽의 효과를 고려하였다. 제안식을 검증하기위하여 각각의 데이터를 28일 상대강도의비로바꾸어 -0.6~59.7$^{\circ}C$ 범위의 8개의 평균 양생온도에 대해서 회귀분석하였다. 회귀분석을통해 제안식의 온도 영향계수인 반응율상수, 한계강도, 반응지수를 양생온도에 따른 함수식으로 표현하였다. 제안식은 기존의모델식에 비해 신뢰성이 높았으며, 초기재령에서는 기존의 모델식등과 큰 차이를나타내지 않았으나 장기재령으로 갈수록 제안식의 정확도가 크게 높아짐을 알 수 있었다.

In this paper, the estimation of compressive strength of concrete incorporating fly ash subjected to high temperature is discussed. Ordinary Portland cement and fly ash cement(30% of fly ash) were used, respectively. Water to binder ration ranging from 30% to 60% and curing temperature ranging from $20^{\circ}C{\sim}65^{\circ}C$ were also adopted for the experimental parameters. According to results, at the high temperature, FAC had higher strength development at early age than OPC concrete and it kept its high strength development at later age due to accelerated pozzolanic reaction subjected to high temperature. For strength estimation, Logistic model based on maturity equation and Carino model based on equivalent age were applied to verify the availability of estimation model. It shows that fair agreements between calculated values and measured values were obtained evaluating compressive strength with logistic curve. The application of logistic model at high temperature had remarkable deviations in the same maturity. Whereas, the application of Carino model showed good agreements between calculated values and measured ones regardless of type of cement and W/B. However, some correction factors should be considered to enhance the accuracy of strength estimation of concrete.

In this paper, estimation of the compressive strength of the concrete incorporating blast furnace slag subjected to high temperature was discussed. Ordinary Portland cement and blast furnace slag cement (BSC;30% of blast furnace slag) were used, respectively. Water to binder ratio ranging from 30% to 60% and curing temperature ranging from $20^{\circ}C{\sim}65^{\circ}C$ were also chosen for the experimental parameters, respectively. At the high temperature, BSC had higher strength development at early age than OPC concrete and it kept its high strength development at later age due to accelerated latent hydration reaction subjected to high temperature. For the strength estimation, the Logistic model based on maturity equation and the Carino model based on equivalent age were applied to verify the availability of estimation model. It was found that fair agreements between calculated values and measured values were obtained evaluating compressive strength with logistic curve. The application of logistic model at high temperature had remarkable deviations in the same maturity. Whereas, the application of Carino model showed good agreements between calculated values and measured ones regardless of type of cement and W/B. However, some correction factors should be considered to enhance the accuracy of strength estimation of concrete.
