This paper discusses the estimation of construction cost of high fluidity concrete using segregation reducing type superplasicizer with 350kgf/cm2 of design strength and 60$\pm$5cm of slump flow in order to verify the cost down effect of high fluidity concrete compared with that of plain concrete with 350kgf/cm2 of design strength and 18cm of slump and with 210kgf/cm2 of design strength and 15cm of slump. According to research, under same strength levels, although material cost of high fluidity concrete is somewhat higher than that of plain concrete due to segregation reducing type superplasticizer, labor cost and equipment cost of high fluidity concrete is cheaper than that of plain concrete. However, based on the strength differences, high fluidity concrete shows lower material cost, labor cost and equipment cost than that of plain concrete due to decreasing in size of member and re-bar caused by high strength development of concrete.

This study is to investigate for the frost resistance of high-flowing concrete using finely ground granulated blast-furnace slag with experimental parameters, such as type of binder, type of superplasticizer and method of curing. The resistance to freezing and thawing of high-flowing concrete by type of binder and superplasticizer is presented differently. Though the frost resistance of high-flowing concrete is satisfactory under standard condition, it is required that high-flowing concrete has entrained air like plain concrete. Because the critical spacing factor, being capacity of frost resistance, of high-flowing concrete is longer that of plain concrete, the frost resistance of high-flowing concrete, using finely ground granulated furnace blast slag, is superior to that of plain concrete.

This study aims to improve serviceability of concrete by inducing chemical prestress with the application of expansive additives for concrete. For this purpose, material tests and 4 point-bending tests of RC slabs were performed to verify the effect of expansive additives on the concrete. and the critical aspects of the structural behavior were investigated. The results of the material tests show that the optimal proportion of expansive additives is 13% of total cement weigth and the properties of expansive concrete in that proportion are the same as those of plain concrete. Both the experimental cracking load and service load of the expansive concrete slabs are increased in comparison with those of the plain concrete. In addition to the above results, the deflection of expansive concrete is smaller than that of plain concrete, and permanent strains resulting from cyclic load are decreased. It can be concluded that the use of expansive additives to induce chemical prestress in RC slabs greatly improves the serviceability.

This paper presents the results of drying shrinkage of concrete using shrinkage-reducingadmixture(DSRA) studied by the authors through mock-up test. DSRA is proportioned by expansive admixture and shrinkage reducing agent(SRA). Flowing concrete method is also applied to assist the concrete to reduce drying shrinkage by decreasing water content at the same time. The use of EA and SRA does not affect fluidity, bleeding and setting time. Compressive strength of concrete using EA along with SRA exhibited less than that of plain concrete. However, The compressive strength with combination of EA-SRA along with flowing concrete method shows comparable to that of plain concrete. The application of developed method can contribute to reducing drying shrinkage by as much as 30-40$\%$ compared with that of plain concrete.

The analysis of the effect of loading on chloride penetration into concrete is very important. In this study, we confirmed that the chloride penetration rates for plain and BFS concrete were increased by 47% and 89% under compressive stress, respectively. The diffusion coefficient of BFS concrete was lower than for conventional concrete with no BFS, no loads, and under stressed states. Therefore, BFS substitution plays an important role in the repression of chloride penetration even under compressive stress. Under compressive stress,the diffusion coefficient for BFS concrete was higher with increasing stress, and this was also the case for plain concrete. However, BFS concrete was strongly influenced by compressive stress in comparison to plain concrete. We investigated the effect of the difference of specific surfaces on the diffusion coefficient. As a result, the larger specific surface of BFS exhibited a lower diffusion coefficient. This tendency was most pronounced under the high stress conditions.

Plastic shrinkage cracking is a major concern for concrete, especially for flat structures as highway pavement, slabs for parking garages, and walls. One of the methods to reduce the adverse effect of plastic shrinkage cracking is to reinforced concrete with short randomly distributed fibers. The contribution of cellulose fiber to the plastic shrinkage crack reduction potential of cement composites and its evaluation are presented in this paper. The effects of differing amounts of fibers(0.9kg/㎥, 1.3kg/㎥, 1.5kg/㎥) were studied. The results of tests of the cellulose fiber reinforced concrete were compared with plain concrete and polypropylene fiber reinforced concrete. Results indicated that cellulose fiber reinforcement showed an ability to reduce the total area and maximum crack width significantly(as compared to plain concreted to plain concrete and polypropylene fiber concrete).

This research was conducted length variation test for analyze the characteristics of shrinkage of concrete pavement along with changes of respective kinds of fibers. As a result, fiber-reinforced concrete has showed tendency that of enhanced performance compared to Plain in every kinds of shrinkage resistance performance especially on drying shrinkage. For the case of using domestic polypropylene fiber, a drying shrinkage has resulted in about 75% decrease compared to Plain.

Generally, when Fly-Ash was used as replacement material of cement in concrete, it might occur retardation of setting and hardening. So, it is unable to use a large amount of Fly-Ash as replacement for cement. However, if it is used as replacement material of fine aggregate in concrete, we can use a large amount of Fly-Ash and settle a problem of natural-aggregate exhaustion. Furthermore, engineering properties of High Volume Fly-Ash Concrete Is better than that of plain concrete But, the larger Fly-Ash is replaced, the more fluidity of High Volume Fly-Ash Concrete decrease, because porous organization of Fly-Ash adsorb water and Superplasticizer. In this study, after appending additional water to High Volume Fly-Ash Concrete in proportion to weight of Fly-Ash, we intend to find proper ratio which doesn't affect strength and satisfy fluidity As a result of this study, it was found that fluidity of mortar with 25~28 percentage of additional water was satisfied with fluidity of plain mortar, and compressive strength of that was similar to plain mortar's

This study is performed to verify the effect of CSA expansive additives for concrete by material properties test and 4 point-bendig test of RC slabs. The result shows that the variations of compress strength, bending strength, and modulus of elasticity of expansive concrete are the same as those of plain concrete. And the crack load of RC slabs with expansive concrete are increased in comparision with that of plain concrete, but the ultimate strength of RC slabs with expansive concrete is decreased.
