As structures become larger, taller, and more diverse, a high degree of technology and expertise are required in the construction industry. However, it has been becoming difficult to construct under severe conditions and to fulfill the high performance needs of structures due to a lack of skilled construction engineers. To compensate for these weak points, high-performance concrete and performance specifications have been developed. The application of reliable high-fluidity concrete, which is one of these efforts, is expected to be effective in terms of overcoming severe conditions, reducing the number of workers required, and shortening the construction period. In order to apply high fluidity concrete in the field, practical mock-up tests were carried out to estimate whether self-compaction concrete could satisfy constructability needs. From the results, it was verified that the multi-component high fluidity concrete has excellent flowability in practical structures. In addition, it was shown that the temperature distribution in the concrete due to hydration heat is satisfactory. As a result, it is judged that multi-component high fluidity concrete can be utilized as an effective building material for various structures, including structures related to the electric power industry.

In this study, recently, more highly effective construction materials are needed for a reasonable cause and economical structure system is required as the construction structures become more multi storied, large-sized and diversified. Also, the experiment was not carried out to investigate and analyzed the strength properties and flowability of ultra-high strength accroding to the types of mineral admixtures. Therefore, this is an experimental study to compare and analyze the influence of cementitious materials type on the fluidity and the strength properties of ultra-high strength concrete. For this purpose, it has decided to do the mix proportions of concrete according to the type of cementitious materials (fly ash, blsat furnace slag, silica fume, slag cement) and W/B(23.5, 27.5, 31.5%) has selected. And then we conducted an experiment to find out basic properties of the ultra-high strength concrete such as slump-flow, O-lot and the age of specimens(3, 7, 28, 56days) for compressive strength.

In this study, it was founded to make the optimal mixture for producing concrete which is self-compacting, yet, and generates low heat of hydration by using fly ash, blast furnace slags and limestone powders as binders in addition to cement while using super-plasticizers and viscosity agents as admixture agents. The structural behaviors of the concrete produced with the selected mixture were compared with those of the concrete currently using for construction of nuclear power plants. The study shows that the blended high fluidity concrete including limestone is better in workability and durability than the concrete currently in use for nuclear power plants.
