The objective of this study is to investigate the characteristic change of antiwashout underwater concrete with variation of blend ratio of sea sand and fine aggregate percentage through experimental researches. According to the experiments results, when sea sand are mixed in antiwashout underwater concrete mixture by about 40% per total fine aggregate, in fine aggregate percentage of 40%, it is found that the flowability fit and the compressive strength is higher others.

This experimental study was carried out to estmate the effects of mixing dosage rate and blain on the compressive strength properties of antiwashout underwater concrete admixed with finely ground granulated blast furnace slag. The experimental parameters are slag contents(0, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60%). As a result the compressive strength have a high correlation with slag blended ratio. Thus, it is possible to calculate the modulus of modified age using compressive strength of antiwashout underwater concrete blended with slag.

This paper describes the effect of fly ash replacement on the setting time of antiwashout underwater concrete, where cement was replaced by 0% to 50%. Experimental work was performed on the condition of sea water and in air to find out the characteristics of setting time between the concretes that were cast in air and cast in 15$^{\circ}C$ of sea water. The experimental results show that the setting time of underwater concrete with 50% replacement was delayed about 10 hours than normal concrete. And it can be concluded that, at the case of underseawater concrete addicted with fly ash, the delayed final setting times are shown as the function Tf=0.069F+7.69, where Tf is the delayed final setting time and F is quantity of fly ash, respectively. These results confirm that the setting time underseawater concrete could be prolonged.

The objective of this study was to investigate the bond strength properties of antiwashout underwater concrete. The fine aggregate(river sand, blended sand (river sand : sea sand = 1 : 1), condition of cast and cure(sea water, fresh water), and compressive strength of proportion(210kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$ ~ 330kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$) were chosen as the experimental parameters. The experimental results show that the underwater segregation resistance was increased, but flowability (slump flow) and air contents were decreased as the compressive strength of proportion increased. Bond strength of antiwashout underwater concrete was similar to plain concrete. From this study, rational analytic formula for the modulus of rupture and bond stress are to be from compressive strength of concrete.

Nowadays, antiwashout underwater concrete is widely used for constructing underwater concrete structures but they, especially placed in marine environment, can be easily attacked by chemical ions such as SO$\^$2-/$\_$4/ Cl$\^$-/ and Mg$\^$2＋/, so the quality and capability of concrete structures go down. In this paper, to solve and improve those matters, flyash and GGBFS(ground granulated blast furnace slag) were used as partial replacements for ordinary portland cement. As results of experiments for fundamental properties of antiwashout underwater concrete containing 10, 20, 30％ of flyash and 40, 50, 60 ％ of GGBFS respectively, setting time, air contents, suspended solids and pH value were satisfied with the "Standard Specification of Antiwashout Admixtures for Concrete" prescribed by KSCE, and also slump flow, efflux time and elevation of head were more improved than that of control concrete. From the compressive strength test, it was revealed that the antiwashout underwater concrete containing mineral admixtures(flyash and GGBFS) is more effective for long term compressive strength than control concrete. An attempt to know how durable when they are under chemical attack has also been done by immersing in chemical solutions that were x2 artificial seawater, 5 ％ sulphuric acid solution, 10％, sodium sulfate solution and 10％ calcium chloride solution. After immersion test for 91days, XRD analysis was carried out to investigate the reactants between cement hydrates and chemical ions and some crystalline such as gypsum ettringite and Fridel′s salt were confirmed.

In this study, we investigated the tensile bond characteristics of underwater coating materials, in order to obtain useful information in support of repair work for marine and coastal concrete structures. Test variables included type of underwater coating, surface conditions of the concrete substrate, and environmental conditions. Pull-off tensile bond strength was measured at 24 h after applying underwater coatings to concrete substrates, in compliance with the procedures specified in ASTM C1583. Failure modes (coating, interface, and parent concrete) for each coating were identified through visual inspection, and comparisons were made based on measured bond strength. The tensile bond strength decreased underwater compared to that under dry conditions, while no significant effect of surface roughness on the measured bond strength was observed in underwater tests. Key aspects that need to be considered regarding selection and use of underwater coating materials for marine and coastal concrete structures were discussed.

Recently, the anriwashout underwater concrete has been increasingly used for underwater structures such as vary high diaphrame walls of high strength massive concrete structures. In this study, experiments were made on the fundamental properties of antiwashout underwater concrete replaced with Fly Ash from 10% to 30% to improve its properties. Resultant to the test, we got the results as follows; the value of slump flow wasi ncreased, the setting, time was very delayed, and the heat evolution amount decreased, whereas the amount of suspended solids became high, and pH value became low as to increasing the replacement ratio of Fly Ash. Also the ratios of compressive strength (in water compared to in air) at 28day were obtained over 90%, and these values were satisfied with 70% of a criterion.

This paper describes the effects of fly ash replacement on the sulfate resistance of antiwashout underwater concrete which was replaced cement by fly ash from 0% to 50%. and the experimental works were performed on sulfate acceleration test of 5%$Na_2SO_4$ solution to find out the variance of length and weight of specimens. The experimental result shows that the length of specimens of antiwashout underwater concrete age at 180day was highly increased compare with normal concrete by acceleration test. but the mixture which was replaced 50% of fly ash shows reduction of the expansion, weight various, compare with normal concrete specimen. accordingly by using fly ash as admixture in antiwashout underwater concrete in sea environment, it will makes more durable for the attacks of sulfate by sea water.

This paper presents the characteristics of various strengths of underwater non-segregation concrete. Three types of cements including low-heat cements has been used to make the test specimens for compressive strength, modulus of rupture and bond strength. The test specimens have been made both in ambient and underwater conditions to take into account the variation according to the environmental condition.
