Recently super-flowing concrete has been developed and used in many construction sites in Japan. It is believed that super-flowing concrete will change the construction method and contribute to the durability of concrete structures. In this study the effect of mix proportion on the flowing characteristics of super-flowing concrete was investigated to establish the mix design method. From the result we have found that self-compactability of super-flowing concrete was greatly affected by the unit gravel volume and paste/gravel volume ratio. Therefore the two parameters can be used in mix design of super flowing concrete.

This is the study on the performance of workability and engneering properties of flowing concrete using the superplasticizers, which are being used for control of the consistency of fresh concrete without modifying the properties of the hardened concrete and for production of high quality concrete at a low water-cement ratio. It is the aim of this study to analyze and investigate workability and engineering properties of flowing concrete according to the addition rate in poor and rich mix proportions of base concrete. Base on this fundamental investigation for the development of flowing concrete mix design, it could be drawn that the workability and engineering properties of flowing concreteare influenced greatly by mix proportion and dosage of superplasticizers.

This study aims to suggest a simple and convenient design for a mix proportion method for high performance concrete by determining the optimum fine aggregate ratio and minimum binder content based on the maximum density theory. The mix design method introduced in this study adopted the optimum fine aggregate ratio with a minimum void and binder content higher than the minimum binder content level. The research results reveal that the method helps to reduce trial and error in the mixing process and is a convenient way of producing high performance concrete with self filler ability. In an experiment based on the mix proportion method, when aggregate with the fine aggregation ratio of 41$\%$ was used, the minimum binder content of high performance concrete was 470kg/$m^{3}$ and maximum aggregate capacity was $0.657m^{3}/m^{3}$. In addition, in mixing high performance concrete, the optimal slump flow to meet filler ability was 65$\pm$5cm, V load flow speed ranged from 0.5 to 1.5.

Strength prediction and correlation of concrete is done using experimental and analytical methods. Main objective is to correlate the experimental and simulated values of compressive strength of concrete mix using Fly Ash (FA) and Silica Fume (SF) by partial replacement of cement in concrete. Mix proportion was determined using IS method for M40grade concrete. Hundred and forty-seven cubes were cast and tested using Universal Testing Machine (UTM). Genetic Algorithm (GA) model was developed using C++ program to simulate the compressive strength of concrete for various proportions of FA and SF replacements individually at 3% increments. Experiments reveal that 12 percent silica fume replacement produced maximum compressive strength of 35.5 N/mm², 44.5 N/mm² and 54.8 N/mm² moreover 9 percent fly ash replacement produced a maximum strength of 31.9 N/mm², 37.6 N/mm² and 51.8 N/mm² during individual material replacement of concrete mix. Correlation coefficient for each curing period of fly ash and silica fume replaced mix were acquired using trend lines. The correlation coefficient is found to be approximately 0.9 in FA and SF replaced mix irrespective of the mix proportion and age of concrete. A higher and positive correlation was found between the experimental and simulated values irrespective of the curing period in all the replacements.

이 연구는 대용량 지상식 LNG 저장탱크에 사용할 고강도 자기충전 콘크리트의 최적배합 조건을 도출하고, 현장적용을 위한 기본 자료를 제안하기 위한 것이다. 60~80 MPa 고강도 자기충전 콘크리트를 적용하면, 벽체두께의 감소와 자기충전성에 따른 인력절감 및 품질확보 등을 통하여 경제성을 확보할 것으로 예상된다. 시멘트 및 분체는 점성 증대 및 수화열 저감에 우수한 플라이애쉬와 저열 시멘트(벨라이트)를 사용하였다. 플라이애쉬의 치환율은 구속수비 및 배합변수 실험을 통해 정하였으며, 배합변수는 단위수량(W), 플라이애쉬 치환율(FA), 물-결합재비(W/B) 및 잔골재율(S/a)로 하여, 최적배합비 및 경제성 평가를 실시하였다. 실험 결과, 설계기준강도 60 MPa의 경우에는 단위수량 165 $kg/m^3$, 플라이애쉬 치환율 20% 및 물-결합재비 27~30%로 나타났으며, 설계기준강도 80 MPa의 경우에는 단위수량 165 $kg/m^3$, 플라이애쉬 치환율 10% 및 물-결합재비 25%로 나타났다. 또한, 기존의 설계기준강도 40 MPa과 비교해 볼 때, 압축강도 증가에 따른 재료비 상승은 60 MPa의 경우 14~22% 및 80 MPa의 경우 33%로 나타나, 현장관리 및 인력절감 등과 함께 매우 경제적인 것으로 나타났다.

This study aims to develop a cost-based high-performance concrete (HPC) mix optimization system based on an integrated approach using artificial neural networks (ANNs) and genetic algorithms (GA). ANNs are used to predict the three main properties of HPC, namely workability, strength and durability, which are used to evaluate fitness and constraint violations in the GA process. Multilayer back-propagation neural networks are trained using the results obtained from experiments and previous research. The correlation between concrete components and its properties is established. GA is employed to arrive at an optimal mix proportion of HPC by minimizing its total cost. A system prototype, called High Performance Concrete Mix-Design System using Genetic Algorithm and Neural Networks (HPCGANN), was developed in MATLAB. The architecture of the proposed system consists of three main parts: 1) User interface; 2) ANNs prediction models software; and 3) GA engine software. The validation of the proposed system is carried out by comparing the results obtained from the system with the trial batches. The results indicate that the proposed system can be used to enable the design of HPC mix which corresponds to its required performance. Furthermore, the proposed system takes into account the influence of the fluctuating unit price of materials in order to achieve the lowest cost of concrete, which cannot be easily obtained by traditional methods or trial-and-error techniques.

Utilization of mineral and chemical admixtures in concrete technology has led to changes in the formulation and mix design in recent decades, which has, in turn, made the concrete stronger and more durable. Lightweight concrete is an excellent solution in terms of decreasing the dead load of the structure, while self-compacting concrete eases the pouring and removes the construction problems. Combining the advantages of lightweight concrete and self-compacting concrete is a new and interesting research topic. Considering its light weight of structure and ease of placement, self-compacting lightweight concrete may be the answer to the increasing construction requirements of slender and more heavily reinforced structural elements. Twenty one laboratory experimental investigations published on the mix proportion, density and mechanical properties of lightweight self-compacting concrete from the last 12 years are analyzed in this study. The collected information is used to investigate the mix proportions including the chemical and mineral admixtures, light weight and normal weight aggregates, fillers, cement and water. Analyzed results are presented in terms of statistical expressions. It is very helpful for future research to choose the proper components with different ratios and curing conditions to attain the desired concrete grade according to the planned application.

본 연구에서는 지반함몰을 유발하는 지반 내 공동 긴급복구 재료에 대한 팽창 및 일축압축강도 실험을 수행하였으며, 실험결과를 바탕으로 주제-경화제 구성비와 주제 내 발포제-촉진제 배합비에 따른 팽창 및 강도특성을 분석하였다. 먼저, 경화시간-팽창률 관계를 분석한 결과, 주제에 포함된 발포제와 촉진제 배합조건에 상관없이, 경화제의 비율이 높으면, 경화시간을 단축하면서 팽창률을 감소시키는 것으로 평가되었다. 이는 주제-경화제 구성비가 팽창률에 큰 영향을 미치는 것을 의미한다. 팽창재료의 강도특성을 분석한 결과, 발포제와 촉진제 배합비가 팽창재료 강도에 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 확인되었다. 따라서 긴급복구가 요구되는 경우, 공동의 크기 및 형태 등에 따라 팽창재료의 소요 주입시간, 팽창률 및 요구강도를 고려한 주제-경화제 구성비, 주제 내 발포제-촉진제 배합비의 적용이 필요함을 확인하였다.

본 연구에서는 Bayesian 통계법을 이용한 성능기반형 배합설계방법(Perfomance Based Mixture Design, 이하 PBMD)을 고강도 콘크리트 배합설계에 활용하여 요구성능을 만족하는 고강도 콘크리트 배합비를 찾는 것을 목표로 하고 있다. PBMD 방법은 Bayesian 통계법을 통해 얻어진 만족도 곡선을 활용한 성능중심의 콘크리트배합설계과정으로서 어떠한 조건이나 환경에서도 쉽게 적용이 가능하여 현재의 설계기준을 대체할 수 있는 하나의 대안으로 생각된다. 고강도 콘크리트의 여러 가지 재료 성능 변수들을 구하기 위해 수행한 여러 가지 실험들의 결과를 바탕으로 고강도 콘크리트 배합설계 시 PBMD 방법의 적용가능성에 대해 검토하였으며 지역에 따른 환경조건, 사용 가능한 재료, 적용 가능한 콘크리트생산기술 등을 고려하여 목표성능을 만족시키는 최적의 콘크리트 배합비를 구하는 과정을 PBMD 방법을 적용한 예제를 통해 나타내었다. PBMD 과정을 적용한 고강도 콘크리트의 배합설계의 현장 적용성을 검토하기 위해 ACI에 기술된 결과와의 비교를 통해 그 유효성을 입증하였다.
