The shallow sediments in the southwestern Ulleung Basin consist of mass flow deposits such as slide/slump and debris flow deposits (DFD), caused by slope failure. These sediments are proven to be important in studying geological disaster and stability of the seafloor. In this paper, we analysised the flow accumulation and slope failure susceptibility of the Ulleung Basin on the basis of multi-beam data, collected in this area. We also studied the distribution pattern and the seismic characteristics of the DFD in the uppermost layer of the Ulleung Basin on the basis of seismic data. The slope susceptibility was calculated as the frequency ratio of each factors including slope, aspect, curvature and stream power index (SPI), which causes the slope failure. These results indicate that the slope failure is frequently to occur in the southern and western continental slope of the Ulleung Basin. The sediment flow (mass flow) caused by the slope failure converges to the north and northwest of the Ulleung Basin. According to the seismic characteristics, the uppermost layer in study area can be divided into four sedimentary unit. These sedimentary units develop from the south and southwest to the north and northwest in association with slope susceptibility and flow accumulation.

This paper reports test results to assess the influence of superplasticizers and different admixture on the flow and compressive strength development of cementless mortar using developed hwangtoh binder. Test specimens were classified into four groups: series for I the mixing ratio of superplasticizers, series II for a kind and replacement level of admixtures according to the variation of water/hwangtoh binder ratio, series III for the specific surface area and replacement level of ground granulated blast-furnace slag and series IV for the replacement level of powered superplasticizer agent developed to improve slump loss of concrete. The proper replacement level of each admixture is proposed for enhancement the flow and compressive strength of the hwangtoh binder mortar.

The aim of this study was to investigate the fundamental properties of pyroclastic flow deposit (PFD), and evaluate the fresh and strength properties of concrete mixed with PFD by indoor tests. The fresh properties, strength properties, shrinkage properties, and durability of the concrete mixed with PFD were also evaluated by outdoor plant tests. the harmful alkali-silica reaction did not occur by mixing concrete with PFD. ages. Moreover, no difficulty was found to be associated with concrete manufacture in the plant because no change in air contents and noticeable slump loss occurred by mixing concrete with PFD. The strength properties, shrinkage properties, and durability of the concrete mixed with PFD were also compared with those of normal concrete. With a suitable temperature control and curing method of concrete, the concrete mixed with PFD is considered to be useful in the construction material field.

In this study, in order to confirm the applicability of Hollow Glass Powder(HGP) in 70MPa-class high strength concrete, the fresh and hardened states were examined according to the amount of HGP, and the results are as follows. The flow characteristics showed that the slump flow increased slightly as the amount of HGP was increased, and the T500 was slightly shortened as the amount of HGP was increased, and the rebar passing ability was improved due to the ball bearing effect of HGP. In particular, it showed the best rebar passing ability at a usage of 1.0kg/㎥. The use of HGP 1.0kg/㎥ resulted in a 40% reduction in plastic viscosity, but the viscosity increased at 2.0kg/㎥. Through experiments, it was confirmed that HGP was helpful in improving the workability of high-strength concrete, and the usage of 1.0kg/㎥ is considered to be the most appropriate. It was confirmed that HGP does not affect concrete compressive strength.

In this study, the evaluation and the analysis of the correlation between rheological properties and pumpability of high performance concrete, C80A which was applied to the height of from 200 m to 350 m in a super tall building, was carried out by measuring pumping pressure and flow rate, testing concrete properties at before and after pumping. As the results, C80A had satisfactory properties of fresh and hardened concrete to the requirements even after pumping and the maximum pumping pressure showed increase of 10~15% at every 50m higher pumping and the average flow rate showed the above $25m^3$ per hour which means proper productivity. Additionally it was verified that pumping pressure and friction factor in pipeline are inversely proportional to slump flow and showed a tendency to increase according to the higher T-500 value.

This paper investigated the influence of binary and ternary blends of mineral admixtures in self-compacted mortar (SCM) on the fresh, mechanical and durability properties. For this purpose, 25 mortar mixtures were prepared having a total binder content of $640kg/cm^3$ and water/binder ratio between 0.41 and 0.50. All the mixtures consisted of Portland cement (PC), fly ash (FA) and silica fume (SF) as binary and ternary blends and air-entrained admixture wasn't used while control mixture contained only PC. The compressive and tensile strength tests were conducted for 28 and 91 days as well as slump-flow and V-funnel time tests whilst freeze-thaw (F-T) resistance and capillary water absorption tests were made for 91-day. Finally, in general, the use of SF with FA as ternary blends improved the tensile strength of mortars at 28- and 91-day while the use of SF15 with FA increased the compressive strength of the mortars compared to binary blends of FA. SCM mixtures with ternary blends had lower the sorptivity values than that of the mortars with binary blends of FA and the control mixture due to the beneficial properties of SF while the use of FA with SF as ternary blends induced the F-T resistance enhancement.

This study was performed to examine the flowing ability and filling ability of polypropylene fiber reinforced high performance concrete. The slump flow was decreased with increasing the polypropylene fiber content, rapidly. At the box-type filling ability, the difference of box height was increased with increasing the fiber content and the box-type passing ability was closed in fiber content 1 %. The final flowing distance of L-type was decreased with increasing the fiber content. Also, it was decreased above 0.75% of polypropylene fiber content, rapidly. The filling ability of L-type was badly showed above polypropylene fiber content 0.75%. Also, the compressive strength was decreased with increasing the fiber content, but the flexural strength was shown higher than that of the concrete without fiber. At the impact resistance, drop numbers for reaching in final fracture were increased with increasing the fiber content. Also, the drop numbers for reaching initial fracture of 1mm were increased with increasing the fiber content. At the acid resistance, the percent of original mass was decreased with increasing the fiber content.

Concrete is known to be the most used construction material worldwide. The environmental and economic aspects of Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) containing concrete have led research studies to investigate the possibility of incorporating supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) in concrete. Metakaolin (MK) is one SCM with high pozzolanic reactivity generated throughout the thermal activation of high purity kaolinite clay at a temperature ranging from $500^{\circ}C$ to $800^{\circ}C$. Although many studies have evaluated the effect of MK on mechanical properties of concrete and have reported positive effects, limited articles are considering the effect of MK on durability properties of concrete. Considering the lifetime assessment of concrete structures, the durability of concrete has become of particular interest recently. In the present work, the influences of MK on mechanical and durability properties of concrete mixtures are evaluated. Various experiments such as slump flow test, compressive strength, water permeability, freeze and thaw cycles, rapid chloride penetration and surface resistivity tests were carried out to determine mechanical and durability properties of concretes. Concretes made with the incorporation of MK revealed better mechanical and durability properties compared to control concretes due to combined pozzolanic reactivity and the filler effect of MK.

This paper is to investigate passing performance of high performance concrete between reinforcing bar depending on maximum size of coarse aggregates. Increase in maximum size of coarse results in decrease in water demand and sand to aggregate to secure target slump flow. The larger the maximum size of coarse aggregates is, the denser the space between reinforcing bar is, the amount of concrete passed through the reinforcing bar cage shows to decrease. HPC has favorable passing performance, regardless of aggregate size, when only vertical reinforcing bar is arranged. Whereas, when vertical and horizontal reinforcing bar is arranged at the same time, proper space between reinforcing bar is considered larger than 32mm in case of using 20mm coarse aggregate, 38mm in case of using 25mm aggregate. The increase in maximum size of coarse aggregate leads to increase compressive strength slightly. Length change shows to be decreased with the increase in maximum size of coarse aggregate.

In this study, batcher plant composition test and mock-up test were carried out to conduct comparison and analysis on flow behavior and strength properties of concrete at early age. As a result, it was found that slump and amount of air in batcher plant composition test reached the target range. As for compressive strength, composition using HESPC showed the most excellent strength development. In mock-up test which was carried out to find out the strength properties, two methods with specimen and core test body both revealed HESPC as the most excellent composition. However, strength estimation with ultrasonic survey presented less reliable data. As a result of the previously conducted indoor composition test and the mock-up test in this study, target performance of concrete at early age was 4day/cycle. It was found that the optimum conditions that meet the required strength, 5MPa/18hr and 14MPa/36hr in mullion and transom are; curing temperature above 15℃, W/B 45%, unit-water 165kg/㎥ and CHC cement.
