Preparation of cellulose type underwater non-segregation admixture was attempted and the hardening characteristics of underwater concrete according to the addition of this admixture was investigated in order to make underwater concrete with the compressive strength ratio of 0.8 to that of concrete manufactured in common atmosphere. The proposed underwater non-segregation admixture consisted of methyl cellulose of 0.4% by weight, silicon type antifoaming agent of 20% by weight, and sodium aluminate of 0.1% by weight to the amount of cement as setting accelerant, respectively. As the proposed non-segregation admixture was increased, the amount of suspended solid decreased, air content in concrete was increased but the flow loses by elapsed time did not change. The proper amount added of the proposed non-segregation adimixture was 0.8 wt% to the amount of cement. The compressive strength of the test sample underwater concrete manufactured by the addition of the proposed admixture was $325Kg/cm^3$, and the ratio of compressive strength of this sample concrete to that of a concrete manufactured in air was 0.94.

Recently the use of the antiwashout underwater concrete with the antiwashout admixture is increased considerably. Antiwashout underwater concrete is quite different in concept from conventional underwater concrete. By mixing an antiwashout admixture with concrete, the viscosity of the concrete is increased and its resistance to segregation under the washing action of water is enhanced. The aims of this research is statistically evaluated to mix proportion factor of antiwashout underwater concrete. Experiment was performed to analyze the influence variables(cement, water, and antiwashout admixture) on fundamental characteristics of antiwashout underwater concrete. The influence variables can be considered for use in a wide range of underwater work where their have statistically significant effect on the characteristics(fluidity, filling ability, resistance to washout, etc.) of antiwashout underwater concrete.

In this paper, the slump flow of the concrete, suspension, pH, corrosion effect, bleeding and the characteristics of coompressive strength were analyzed using antiwashout underwater admixture and antiwashout underwater agent+corrosion inhibitor mixed admixtures(1type). The results showed that there were no rare difference in physical properties but in the results of rapid corrosion tests there were lots of corrosion inhibitor ratio differences between concrete using only antiwashout underwater admixture and the corrosion inhibitor mixed(1type). In the case of only antiwashout underwater admixture 5.4%, the case corrosion inhibitor mixed(1type) 0.07%, the Antiseawater of the concrete which uses the Corrosion Inibitor Mixed(1type) appeared highly.

Many underwater concrete structures have been constructed recently in proportion to the increase of ocean developments. The research for the underwater concrete construction was mainly focused in view of placing method. Recently, special admixture agents of concrete were developed for antiwashout concrete under water in some foreign nations. They had successful results in experiments and site constructions. However. there are seldom experimental results or placements in domestic contry. In this paper. We had carried out property tests of fresh and hardened concrete with refer to successful results in experiments and site construction and investigated the physical variation of the antiwashout underwater concrete considering the interaction between antiwashout admixture and other ones. We have decided the optimal mix proportion fb;r antiwashout underwater concrete under standerd sea state.

Recently as the development of a large-scale ocean structure or ocean is in progress, the importance of underwater concrete construction came to the fore. However, a problem with this underwater concrete construction is the segregation of cement and aggregate occurs when concrete is poured into the underwater. However, recently as an adhesiveness of the constituents of fresh concrete is increased even in our country, antiwashout concrete admixture were developed. The antiwashout concrete admixture can reduce the segregation significantly. Although this antiwashout underwater concrete is superior to the traditional underwater concrete in terms of durability, watertightness, stability, etc. But it is still unsatisfied due to the lack of criterion or construction experiences. Furthermore, because of an insufficiency of natural aggregate, the development of replacing aggregate came to be necessary. Accordingly, the purpose of this study is to investigate the feasibility of sea sand as a replacing aggregate and the characteristic change of antiwashout underwater concrete using river sand, sea sand, and blended sand (river sand:sea sand=3:7) through experimental researches.

With increasing underwater structure construction, there is high interest in offshore foundation and underwater grout and various study has been done in this area. For grout materials constructed underwater, it may be washed away by water or easily disturbed and material separation phenomenon during curing period always happens. As a result, it is difficult to ensure construction quality and this has a significant influence on the design strength of structure. In this study, to understand application effects of anti-washout admixture for the preplaced construction method, where grout is injected in monopile after filled with aggregates, laboratory tests on bleeding and compressive strength of anti-washout admixture were performed under various test conditions varying size of aggregate, water and cement ratio and admixture, and test results were compared and evaluated.

When placed under water, concrete is diluted with separating cementitious material and as a result the quality of concrete becomes poor. So as to solve the problem, underwater concrete is increasingly used for the construction and repair of the concrete structure under water. In this paper, 4 kinds of antiwashout admixtures and varying sand percentages were chosen to measure the suspended solids, pH, air contents, setting time and compressive strength of underwater concrete, and they meet "Standard for antiwashout admixture used for concrete". When sand percentage is 43%, the fluidity and filling of underwater concrete are superior to the others.he others.

In case of constructing concrete structure under water, generally concrete mixed with antiwashout admixture, high range water reducer, or AE-water reducing agent etc has been manufactured to ensure the quality of antiwashout underwater concrete because of being difficulty in ascertaining construction situation by the naked eye. The properties of high quality antiwashout underwater concrete that were aimed at affluent fluidity, workability and the compressive strength of 450 kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$ at 28 ages using two types of blended cements are following as;(1) Setting time of antiwashout underwater concretes using blended cements was more greatly delayed than that of control concrete, however, was satisfied with criteria value of "Quality standard specification of antiwashout admixture for concrete".(2) As a test results of slump flow, efflux time and box elevation of head, it was found that workability of high quality antiwashout underwater concrete was improved. (3) Heat evolution amount of OPC was 1.5 times as high as that of two types of bended cements in 72 hours. (4) Suspended solids of antiwashout underwater concrete using blended cements was more than that of control concrete, also compressive strength of high quality antiwashout underwater concrete was very low in early age, but was better than that of control concrete as to increasing ages.
