Concrete is the most generous, universal main structural material. There is active study for processing quality, stable quality mangement. Especially, strength is basic factor of evaluating stability of concrete building. Regaining required strength and homogeneity is very important to get self-stability in building to evaluate another characteristic. Concrete strength is important to the quality management. But, result of hardened concrete's quality test is hardly reflected to works immediately. When required strength is not enough, it could bring out safe problem, economic and administrative cost. It is pointed out that problems from strength evaluation, so early evaluation of concrete quality is required. From the trend that accelerating high quality concrete development, improving the method of quality test and early evaluation measure is urgent project. Throughout this report, it is suggested the method with use of microwave to evaluate 28-days concrete strength.

The performance based design obligates quantitative assessment of required performances by means of transparent and objective science. In this design scheme, simulation of both macro and micro-scale structural behaviors is thought to be a powerful tool. This paper proposes a way how to unify the structural safety and serviceability check method and durability assessment of RC structures. Though component chemical-physical processes are crudely assumed, system dynamics of micro-scale pore structure formation and macro-scale defects and deformation of structures was shown as possible and promising approach in future. The authors understand that the unification of structural and durability design has just started. For further progress and development, predictive tool of structural behaviors from birth to death of concrete under any specified environment and load serves as an essential technicality.

This paper discusses the validity of models to predict the compressive strength of concrete subjected to various temperature histories and the shortcomings of existing rate constant model and apparent activation energy concept. Based on the discussion, a modified rate constant model is proposed. The modified rate constant model, in which apparent activation energy is a nonlinear function of curing temperature and age, accurately estimates the development of the experimental compressive strengths by a few researches. Also, the apparent activation energy of concrete cured with high temperature decreases rapidly with age, but that cured with low temperature decreases gradually with age. Finally a generalized model to predict apparent activation energy and compressive strength is proposed, which is based on the regression results.

This paper deals with the relationships between the exotherm temperature and working life of lightweight polyester mortar. Polyester mortars using types of lightweight aggregate compositions are prepared, and tested for exotherm temperature during hardening and working life. It is concluded from the test results that the behavior of exotherm temperature of lightweight polyester mortars is considerably affected by the lightweight aggregate composition. The lightweight polyester mortars using a lightweight aggregate compositeion ES gradually develop an exotherm temperature from 2$0^{\circ}C$, and give a working life. Then the exotherm temperature rises sharply up to a maximum exotherm temperature. The working life of the lightweight polyester mortars shortens with increasing catalyst and accelerator contents. The maximum exotherm temperature of the lightweight polyester mortars rises with increasing catalyst and accelerator contents.

The adhesion properties of polymer cement mortars for cement concrete repair were evaluated with respect to polymer-cement ratios and the surface conditions of cement concrete substrate. Styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) was used as an additive for polymer cement mortars. The adhesion strength of cement mortar was smaller than that of polymer cement mortar. The adhesion strengths to the dry surfaces of substrate were larger than those to the wet surfaces, indicating that the dryness of substrate increased the adhesion strength in repairing concrete structures.

The purpose of this study is to examine the properties of cement mortar with PVA(Poy Vinyl Alcohol) and MC(Methyl Cellulos). In this paper, Water-soluble polymer cement motar using PVA and MC with water-cement ratio of 50%, polymer-cement ratio of 1.0%, 0.8% and a ratio of cement to fine aggregate (size: #5, #7) 2:3 are prepared, and tested for compressive strength, shear bond strength, flow test, penetration and dry-shirinkage.

The crack of concrete induced by the heat of hydration is a serious problem, particularly in concrete structures such as underground box structure, mat-slab of nuclear reactor buildings, dams or large footings, foundations of high rise buildings, etc.. As a result of the temperature rise and restriction condition of foundation, the thermal stress which may induce the cracks can occur. Therefore the various techniques of the thermal stress control in massive concrete have been widely used. One of them is prediction of the thermal stress, besides low-heat cement which mitigates the temperature rise, pre-cooling which lowers the initial temperature of fresh concrete with ice flake, pipe cooling which cools the temperature of concrete with flowing water, design change which considers steel bar reinforcement, operation control and so on. The objective of this paper is largely two folded. Firstly we introduce the cracks control technique by employing low-heat cement mix and thermal stress analysis. Secondly it show the application condition of the cracks control technique like sidewall of LNG in Inchonl.

The aim of this study is to predict concrete strengths by method of equivalent ages. The method of equivalent ages is to use Arrhenius equation which indicates the influence of curing temperature on the initial hydration ratio in cement. Experimental factors are in this study. The water-cement ratios of concrete mixtures are 0.60, 0.55, 0.50 and 0.45. The curing temperatures within the four chambers are 30, 20, 10 and 5$^{\circ}C$. The test results showed that equivalent age can be used to predict compressive strength of concrete at early ages.

In the case of the offshore concrete structures like the anchorage block of a suspension bridge of Kwangan Grand Road, there is a need of the concrete which has low heat of hydration and good resistance for sea-water attack. In this study, the blended super low heat cement which satisfies that requirement was developed and several tests were carried out. The concrete using the blended super low heat cement showed lower adiabatic temperature rise than 3$0^{\circ}C$ and good early strength. Also, its passed charge(coulomb) to resist chloride ion penetration was very low.

Since the cement-water reaction is exothermic by nature, the temperature rise within a large concrete mass. Significant tensile stresses may develop from the volumn change associated with the increase and decrease of the temperature with the mass concrete. These thermal stresses will cause temperature-related cracking in mass concrete structures. These typical type of mass concrete include mat foundation, bridge piers, thich walls, box type walls, tunnel linings, etc. Crack control methods can be considered at such stages as designing, selecting the materials, and detailing the construction method. In this paper, the effect of placing of crack control joint or construction joint was analysed by a three dimensional finite element method. As a result, using this method, crack control can be easily performed for structures such as wall-type structures.

Concrete cracks due to hydration heat are a serious problem, particularly in mass concrete structures such as box rahmen, dam or footing of pier, etc.. As a result of the temperature rise and restriction condition of foundation, the thermal stress which may induce the cracks can occur. In this, study, ABAQUS program package was used to calculate the temperature distributions generated by hydration heat and the thermal stress in box rahmen structure which have thickness of 1.7~2.2m, and applied for various equations of adiabatic temperature rise such as korean code, japanese code, convection coefficient and low heat cement code.

In recent times, large strands have become increasingly popular in the pretensioned prestressed industry and have found wide applications in varying geometries of sections. However, use of such elements and their behavior in several situations have been questioned with respect to anchoring of these strands in concrete. In addition, the experimental results available on bond are limited and information relating to large strands is rare. This study was conducted to determine the influence of some of the inadequately examined properties on transfer length of prestressing strand. The principle variables considered were strand size, concrete strength and clear bottom cover. The experimental results indicate clearly that concrete strength at transfer and cover size influence transfer length significantly. An attempt was made to suggest prediction equation for transfer length including above parameters.

Partially prestressed concrete members are concrete members reinforced with a combination of prestressed and non-prestressed reinforcement, and also can offer advantages of reinforced concrete. The objective of this study is to develop a design program using Visual Basic language according to the limit state design method which controls crack and check fatigue effectively for partially concrete members.

This paper describes the behavior of prestressed concrete storage tanks under cryogenic temperatures by thermal stress analysis. In concrete tanks to store up LNG, a thermal shock can occur over a global area resulting from the sudden filling of the outer tank with cryogenic storage contents. Analysis results show that internal surface of concrete tank is cooled down rapidly. Tank is subjected mostly to thermal constraint moment due to temperature gradient across its section. Constraint moment may cause tensile stresses beyond tensile strength in the wall. Problems related with concrete cracking due to temperature gradient have been considered.

An experimental study was carried out to estimate development lengths of the prestressing strand in pretensioned beams. Recent studies had indicated that current desing provision were inadequate. Objective of this investigation is to determine the effect of strand diameter and concrete cover in pretensioned beams. Strand of the 1.52cm diameter is more useful and economic than that of the 12.7mm diameter, but current provision does not include 15.2mm diameter strand in experimental data. Because the property of strand has been developed, current provision need to be improved. Based on the experimental data, it was determined that bond failure would be prevented if no cracking occured in transfer zone of a pretensioned strand.

The techniques of dimensional analysis and statistical regression analysis is applied to existing voluminous data available from tests covering a wide range of slab properties, which then leads to an equation to predict the punching shear strength of slabs.

This study is to investigate experimentally the shear capacity of high-strength reinforced concrete beams subjected to monotonic loading. Nine reinforced concrete beams using high strength concrete $(f'c=380kg/\textrm{cm}^2)$ are tested to determine their diagonal cracking and ultimate shear capacity. The main variables are shear span-depth ratio a/d=1.5, 2.5, 3.5, and shear reinforcement ratio. All specimens are 170mm wide and have a total depth of 300mm. The test results indicate that ACI 318-95(b) Code for shear capacity gave closest agrement with the exsprimental results. The beams with a shear spear-depth ratio 1.5 and 2.5. ACI 318-95 Code underestimates shear strength carried by vertical shear reinforcements.

Fatigue is a process of progressive permanent internal structural change in a material subjected to repeitive stresses. These change may be damaging and result in progressive growth of cracks and complete fracture if the stress repetitins are sufficiently large. For structural members subjected to cyclic loads, the continuous and irrecoverable damage processes are taking place. These processes are referred as the cumulative damage processes due to fatigue loading. Moreover, increased use of high strength concrete makes the fatigue problem more important because the cross-section and dead weight are reduced by using high strength concrete. The purpose of this study is to investigate the shear fatigue behavior of reinforced concrete beams according to shear reinforcement ratio and concrete compressive strength under repeated loadings. For this purpose, comprehensive static and fatigue tests of reinforced concrete beams were conducted. The major test variables for the fatigue teats are the concrete strength and the amount of shear reinforcements. The increase of deflections and steel strains according to load repetition has been plotted and analyzed to explore the damage accumulation phenomena of reinforced concrete beams. An analytical model for shear fatigue behavior has been introduced to analyze the damage accumulation under fatigue loads. The failure mode and fatigue lives have been also studied in the present study. The comparisons between analytical results and experimental data show good correlation.

This paper presents a truss model for RC columns subjected to axial load and lateral load. The presented model is based on a stress field for the flexural-shear failure of short columns, which represent shear failure and bond splitting failure. Using this model, failure strength and related deformation of RC columns are investigated. Particular emphasis is placed on models capable of representing the interaction between deformation and shear strength.

All the specimens were modelling in one-third scale size.

This paper presents a study in the ductility of reinforced concrete beam-column-slab joints Three assemblies were designed 2/3 scale (f'c=240kg/$\textrm{cm}^2$, f'c=700kg/$\textrm{cm}^2$) and tested to investigate seismic behavior. From the test results, 1) flexural cracks emerge to inside of beam deeply for high strength concrete member, 2) the high-strength specimens degraded in stiffness and strength, and unstable hysteretic behaviors were observed, owing to the brittleness of high-strength concrete beyond its range. 3) The confinement provided by the additional hoops to the column bar is probably the main reason for this improvement in behavior.

This study was intended to investigate the cyclic behavior of high strength concrete beam-column connection. Four assemblies were designed 2/3 scale beam-column-slab joint and tested. The obtained results are follows. 1) The transverse beams increase the shear resistance and ductility of joint, 2) The slab was contributed to increase of the flexural capacity of the beam, but was not contributed to increase the joint ductility under lateral loads.

The concrete slab on the foundation may have curling and warping deformations due to moisture and temperature gradient of its section. These deformations may change the support conditions of concrete slabs, and cause higher level of stresses than expected. This study was performed to verify the effect of partial support condition of concrete slab on the foundation due to its deformations and to develop the useful analytic method for describing these phenomenons. The partial support condition verified by FWD test results, and it was concluded that the gap model could be useful in analysing the concrete slab with partial support conditions.

The crack width of concrete structures subjected to shrinkage depend on a great number of parameters whose effects are restrain condition, the number and spacing of crack and the amounts of reinforcements. Through suitable reinforcement it is possible to make the individual cracks exceedigly small. This paper is to present the amount of reasonable reinforcement for crack control through a rational analysis of forces occuring in significantly restrained concrete structures due to the shrinkage. Also the analysis results from this paper are compared with the provisions for shrinkage and temperture reinforcement in the KCI concrete strucural design code.

The minimum shear and torsional reinforcement provisions in ACI 318-95 are still empirical. This paper describes the derivation of a rational approach for minimum shear and torsional reinforcement in beams so as to preclude brittle failure in shear and torsion. This is ensured by specifying that the beam's ultimate capacity of shear and torsion should be greater than its cracking shear and torsion. The formula presented herein for computing minimum shear and torsional reinforcement shows the need for modification of current provision for the minimum shear and torsion reinforcement.

An existing plasticity model using multiple failure criteria is modified to describe the behavior of reinforced concrete planar members under cyclic load. Multiple failure criteria are used to define both isotropic damage of compressive crushing and anisotropic damage of tensile cracking. A numerical method is developed to define multi-directional and non-orthogonal crack directions. The material model is implemented in the finite element analysis and verified by comparison with existing experiments of reinforced concrete shear wall.

It has been known that buildings having inappropriate expansion joints in their spacings may be subject to exterior damages due to extensive cracks on the outer walls under service loads, and structural damages due to excessive moment induced by temperature changes at ultimate load conditions. Rather inconsistent code provisions are available regarding spacings of expansion joints from different foreign structural codes and even worse, no quantiative measure on spacings is given in our codes for building structures. In order to establish a rational measure on the spacing of expansion joints, theoretical approaches are taken in this study. The developed theoretical formula is, then, converted to design chart for structural designer's convenience in its use. The chart considers both service and ultimate load stages.

An analytical method based on the nonlinear layered finite element method is developed to simulate overall load-deflection behavior of bonded and unbonded prestressed concrete beams. The model which uses rather advanced numerical technique for iterative convergence to equilibrium can be regarded as superior one compared to the models mainly based on either load control or displacement control methods. Model predictions were compared with preceding experimental results and it was observed that there were good agreements between them.

An interface always appears when a repair is applied to an aged infrastructure system for repair. These repaired structures have the high chance to fail along the interface because of the stress concentration/discontinuity along the interface. So, mechanical properties of the interface have much influence on the behavior of repaired structure systems. In this paper, numerical tool that can predict effectively the interfacial fracture behavior is developed using axial deformation link elements, and this numerical technique is applied to the interfacial failure behavior. The results coincide with the ultimate strength and failure profile on the interfacial behavior of carbon fiber sheets for strengthening with epoxy adhesion. Thus, the mechanical behavior of the interface up to failure can be predicted using numerical technique with the proposed axial deformation link elements.

A numerical tool for predicting the behavior of reinforced concrete structures under uniaxial loads is proposed. Concrete is considered as quasi-brittle material, and for a reinforcing bar, an elastic-perfectly plastic constitutive relationship is adopted.

Comparisons between the numerical predictions and the experimental results show good agreements in the load-deflection behaviors and ultimate loads of reinforced concrete structures.

The tension stiffening effect, which means the maintaining a part of stiffness after cracking of concrete in tensile, exists at a reinforced concrete member because of the concrete softening and bonding stress between cracks. It is required to consider it for precise analysis and evaluation o structural behavior, due to the possibility of discrepancy between the actual behavior and the analysis without considering the tension stiffening effect. Making and adopting a tension stiffening model is the most simple and effective way for considering it at nonlinear analysis which indicated the estimation from models and experimental results were similar each others. The comparisons on RC beam were, also performed in order to analyzed the influence of concrete strength and steel ratio into the structural behavior. They indicated that the results from analysis estimated quite closely to the test results at low steel ratio, however, overestimated at high steel ratio. The overestimation increase linearly as concrete strength or steel ratio increased.

A series of dynamic and static tests were conducted to observe the actual responses of a 1:5 scale 3-story reinforced concrete (RC) frame which was designed only for gravity loads. One of the major objectives of these experiments are to provide the calibration to the available static and dynamic inelastic techniques. In this study, the experimental results were simulated by using a nonlinear analysis program for reinforced concrete frame, IDARC-2D. The evaluation of the degree of the simulation leads to the conclusion that while the global behaviors such as story drifts and shears can be in general simulated with the limited accuracy in the dynamic nonlinear analysis, it is rather easy and simple to get the fairly high level of accuracy in the prediction of global and local behaviors in the static nonlinear analysis by using IDARC-2D.

This test was carried on the twelve reinforced concrete columns, 200$\times$200$\times$800mm size. objected to flexure and constant axial loads. The main variables are concrete strength, the configuration of lateral ties and the amount of lateral ties. Test results indicated that steel configuration plays an important role in column behavior, and a proper configuration of lateral ties can be more ductile than the reduce of the space of lateral ties. By this experiment, the ductility of high-strength concrete columns designed on A.C.I Code is not adequate, and are concluded that the design of high-strength concrete column is executed by more lateral ties under high axial loads.

The objective of this research is to examine whether the determination of development length for high strength concrete by the ACI Building Code 318-95 could be applied and the upped limit of compressive strength, 700kg/$\textrm{cm}^2$ is suitable. Eight beam specimens were tested. Each beam was designed to include two bars in tension, spliced at the center of the span. The beams were loaded in positive bending with the splice in a constant moment region. The variables used here were compressive strength and the space of stirrup within splice length. The results indicated that for (c$\div$Ktr)/db of the range of 1.5-2.0 compressive strength up to 800kg/$\textrm{cm}^2$ is acceptable with regard to bond strength and ductility, thus the limit of compressive strength in ACI 318-95 may be extended to 800kg/$\textrm{cm}^2$.

This study presents the plastic analysis for the flexural and shear strength of RC beams related to anchorage failure. Five failure mechanisms based on the upper bound solution were constructed and the ultimate strength equations were formulated from them. The parametric study herein was carried out to observe the variation of the controlling failure mechanism depending on the parameters in the ultimate strength equations. The results of the parametric study show that controlling failure mechanism and ultimate strength are determined through the interaction of each parameter. This indicated that respective structural configuratins must be treated in a unified manner. Additionally this study proposes the scope of the parameter to induce the flexural of RC deep beams.

The bond between reinforcing bar and concrete is a significant factor to confirm that they behave uniformly in the reinforced concrete. Thus, the studies on this field have been conducted by many researchers. But for the high strength lightweight concrete few studies have been done. In this study, the steel fiber reinforced high strength lightweight concrete developed to complement the brittleness of the high strength lightweight concrete was studied experimentally to find the local bond stress. Total 20 specimens were tested and the measured test values were compared with those calculated according to ACI 318-95 code and CEB-FIP code, respectively. The results indicate that the maximum bond stress has been influenced by increment of volume fracture of steel fiber, compressive strength and cover, Especially steel fiber caused not only increment of bond strength but also ductile behaviro.

The purpose of this study is to find the influence of interface and confinement on bond between reinforcing steel and concrete subjected to monotonic and cyclic loading. The key variables for the experimental program include rib height, rib spacing for reinforcing bars and confinement. From the results obtained in this study, the following main observations can be made for the bond properties. Bond strength increases when confinement increases under monotonic and cyclic loading. Bond stiffness and strength drop remarkably after the maximum bond strength. Both bond stiffness and strength also drop at a constant slip when the number of cyclic loading increase. The bond resistance subjected to cyclic loading decreases significantly for reinforcing bars with low rib height.

Structural integrity in concrete structures are affected by materialistic and environmental factors. Therefore, to develop a objective integrity evaluation method is extremely difficult. In this study, preliminary integrity evaluation method for concrete structures was proposed by conducting by visual and detailed inspection for in-situ conditions based on the weighting factors for structural significance and integrity degrading factors of each element constituting concrete structures.

In this study, the usefulness of Radar method by means of assessing deck data-layer properties-was tested on the highway bridge. The obtained GPR data were compared with values measured from drilled cores and damage mapping by the visual survey. It is shown that GPR can provide the highly accurate measurements of layer properties of concrete decks and can map areas of deterioration in bridge by dielectric constants.

A series of in-situ inspection and measurements have been conducted to estimate rebar corrosion incidence of freeway concrete bridges in Seoul metropolitan area. The results of this study have been analysed to identify the extent of chloride concentration and incidence of steel corrosion in various ages and in the different members of the structures. About 34% of the freeway structures had a value lower than - 350mV(vs CSE), so it could conclude that the excessive chloride concentration was a major cause of rebar corrosion.

The crack of concrete is one of the most important factors to evaluate the safety of the structures. The more important point for the safety-evaluation of the concrete structures is to check the crack development, the conventional window paper (Chang Ho Ji) have been used as a simple method in the past, and nowadays the strain gauge is used for more correct way to check the development of the concrete crack quantitatively. However the window-paper method is too simple and not so scientific, and the strain-gauge method is rather complicated for people in general. This Easy-Check Sensor provides the simple usage for the various concrete structures, but also the more correct results to evaluate the development of the concrete crack.

Pullout test known as Lok test among the test methods to evaluate concrete strength strength is a test method which is used to decide the form removal time by assessing the early strength of concrete in a new construction, or to control the quality of newly placed concrete. This method has inconvenience to place inserts on the form work in advance, however, the placing work is quite simple and it has advantage that the strength can be measured at field as long as the inserts are placed. In this study, the first step is to investigate the properties of test method itself, by performing the laboratory test which covers deviation of the method and factors affecting the results, etc. The second step is to correlate the result with cylinder strength and other NDT methods such as rebound hammer, ultrasonic method, etc. And that, the results are compared with foreign results to find the differences between the two. In this research, new factors such as moisture content, area of aggregate failure cross section and area of aggregate separation cross section, etc as well as wate-cement ratio and age are investigated.

Downstream surface of the concrete gravity dam receives thermal stress due to atmosphere temperature change. So in this paper, the behaviors of crack located in the downstream surface were investigated, when considering the temperature change.

Deterioration of agricultural hydraulic structures(AHS), which are under harsh environmental conditions, is more sever than other ordinary structures. To investigate the deterioration factors of AHS, various physical and chemical analyses are performed. The porosity of AHS increases more rapidly than ordinary structures because they are subject to frequent water permeation and water-soluble materials are easily emitted to surface area. Thus, AHS are tend to be damaged by freezing and thawing more easily due to the increase of water containment inside concrete.

It is required that the compressive strength of concrete should be estimated accurately from the view point of efficient quality control and maintenance of buildings. In this paper, the equations to estimate the compressive strength of concrete using granite aggregates were suggested for both rebound hammer method and ultrasonic pulse velocity method. The results were compared with those for different age or curing condition. The rebound numbers for concrete cured in air were larger than for concrete cured in water. The difference between rebound numbers for concrete cured in water and in air was larger than for concrete cured in water. The difference between rebound numbers for concrete cured in water and in air was larger when water cement ratio was high. Also, with the increase of age, the velocity of ultrasonic pulse for concrete cured in air was measured larger when compared with that in water.

An experimental investigation on the ruined RC bridge with 30 years old has been conducted to estimate the durabilities. The ruined RC bridge estimated in this study was located at Kyung-Bu Express Way. First, concrete strength and durability characteristics such as concrete resistivity, chloride content were estimated. Second, it was to test reinforcing corrosion embedded in slab of bridge. And, third, tensile strength and yield strength of reinforcing bar corroded and not corroded were estimated. This bridge inspection provides the most common cause of defects and deterioration and the results of this inspections give more specific information than those of laboratory inspections do.

Ultrasonic pulse velocity method is employed for evaluation of crack depth in concrete structures. Due to the heterogeneous nature of concrete and the indirect transmission arrangement for the transit time measurement through the surface-opening cracks in concrete structures, ultrasonic pulse velocity has so many variations as crack depths and transmission lengths vary. In this study, ultrasonic pulse velocity method is investigated to evaluate the surface-opening crack depth of concrete slabs, reinforced concrete slabs, reinforced concrete flexural members. the resent study gives a modified method for deminishing errors in transit time measurements and show limitations to the evaluation of crack depth in reinforced concrete structures.

Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) attached with 1 GHz center frequency antenna has been used to measure a dielectric constant of mortar, and to detect and locate a steel bar embedded inside laboratory size mortar specimens at various depth. Mortar specimens are made for the measurements with the dimensions of 100cm (width)$\times$100cm (length)$\times$14cm (depth). Each specimen has a 13mm diameter D13 steel bar at 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12cm depth. In this paper, results of radar measurments are provided with a sample output, which successfully located the bar. It has been found that the reflected wave of the steel bar interacts with that of surface when the steel bar has the close distance to the surface.

There are a large number of deteriorate mechanisms on the reinforced concrete structure and it acts complexly. In case of carbonation, it effected by environmental condition as well as properties of concrete. Most of all, water cement ratio and finishing materials have a great effect on the carbonation velocity. So, it is then aim of this study to suggest elementary data for the prediction of remaining life and the durability design by studying the relationship between carbonation velocity and permeability according to the waste cement ratio and kinds of finishing materials

With increasing content of granulated blase furnace slag in cement, the content of capillary pores in the mortar decreases and later age strength of the concrete. Therefore, this provides greater reserves study is carried out to estimate frost resistance of high-strength concrete specimens with water cement ratios using blast-furnace slag. 1. Blast furnace concrete is comparatively more good frost resistance than normal concrete. 2. As the blast furnace slag increases, the quantity of pores with a radius of more than 30nanometer decreses.

Rebar corrosion in concrete containing both chloride ions and calcium nitrite inhibitors were investigated by the various electrochemical methods. Rebar corrosion was accelerated by applying the impressed current to the rebar in concrete. Effect of chloride content and inhibitors on rebar corrosion were evaluated. Accelerated corrosion technique is the method to measure the time to the initiation of cracks of reinforced concretes, by applying constant voltage between rebar and the stainless steel cathedes. The increase of concentration of chloride ions in concrete result in the increase in anodic currents and the reduction of time to crack. However addition of inhibitors did not improve corrosion resistance of rebar in concrete. Rebar corrosion in concrete with chloride ions and inhibitors was also analyzed by the immersed tests though the mesurement of corrosion potentials.

The development of external prestressing methods has been one of the major trends in the concrete bridge constructions over the past decades. One of the promising methods to enhance the flexural strength of a externally prestressed girder is to place the tendons with large eccentricities. The test results in this study showed that the external prestressing of a composite girder increased the range of the elastic behavior, reduced deflections, increased ultimate strength, and added to the redundancy by providing the multiple stress paths. This study was conducted on the concrete bridges reinforced by the continuous girders and the external prestressing.

The analysis and design of composite girders prestressed by external tendons involve difficulties related to the position of anchorages and the construction sequences. In this paper, the efficiency of the external tendon profiles and the position of anchorages in examined for the internal and external prestressing of statically indeterminate structures. It is shown that strengthening of a prestressed girder can be accomplished using a variety of methods; bonded external prestressing, tendon replacement and unbonded external prestressing.

In recent years, FRP plates have been studied for flexural reinforcement of RC structures due to easy installation and good quality control. This study presents experimental results for the effectiveness of flexural reinforcement of the RC beams using thin CFRP and GFRP stripe made by the pultrusion process. For the selected FRP strips of various thicknesses and widths, it was demonstrated that both flexural strength and ductility were considerably increased with relatively easy installation when compared to the other methods used for the composite reinforcement.

Reinforced concrete is, in general, known as high durability construction material under normal environments due to strong alkalinity of cement. It is , however, well known that moderate or minor cracks in reinforced concrete should be most serious causes to deteriorate the durability of RC structures. Furthermore, chloride contents penetrating through unexpected cracks in reinforced concrete bridges get to weaken corrosion resistance of reinforcement steel in concrete and than to accelerate the deterioration of concrete durability. The objective of this experimental research is 1) to evaluate the effect of various corrosion protection system for reinforced concrete specimens with moderate or minor cracks which are exposed to cyclic wet and dry seawater, and then 2) to develop effective corrosion protection system for reinforced concrete bridges under the exposure of various detrimental environments such as seawater, deicing and etc.

Strengthening existing structure using the exterior steel wire is utilized because of their high adaptability and strengthening efficiency. In the practical aspect, the fixing methods, which are generally adopted have caused problems. A new method is not easily designed because of the weak points, a limit of tension stress, and complex transmit processes. To make up for the weak points in the current fixing method, tensile end bracket similar to a supporting plate has been developed, but the tensile end bracket was relatively big because of increasing length welded between the end plate and the resisting plate.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of the flexural rehabilitation of the pre-loaded reinforced concrete beams strengthened by the steel plate. Main test parameters were the existence and the magnitude of the pre-loading at the flexural of rehabilitation and the tensile reinforcement ratio of the specimens. Seven beam specimens were tested to investigate the effectiveness of the rehabilitation method. Test results showed that the ultimate load capacities of the pre-loaded specimens were higher than not-pre-loaded specimens at the rehabilitation. The cause of the pharameter was analyzed if is suggested that the bond failure between the concrete and the strengthening steel plate occured prior to the yielding of the tension reinforcement. The member flexural stiffnesses, were similar regardless of the load conditions at retrofit and failure modes showed brittle aspect caused by rip-off failure.

Advanced composite materials such as carbon fiber, aramid, and glass fiber sheet, are widely used recently to strengthening existing reinforced concrete structures. The purpose of this paper was to investigate the mechanical characteristics of concrete compressive members confined with carbon fiber sheet and evaluate the efficiency of the strengthening under load actions. Uniaxal compression tests of concrete compressive members confined with carbon fiber sheet were experimentally used to develop a relationship between the axial stresses and the lateral stresses. The resulting axial and lateral strains were used to determine the confinement effect of concrete compressive members.

This paper was aimed to investigate the shear strengthening effect of the pre-loaded reinforced concrete beams strengthened by carbon fiber sheet (CFS). Main tet parameters was the magnitude of pre-loading at the time of the retrofit and the strengthening method of carbon fiber sheet. A series of nine specimens was tested to evaluate the corresponding effect of each parameters such as maximum load capacity, load-deflection relationship, and failure mode. The results of this study showed that the failure mode is bonding failure between the concrete and the CFS before the tensile failure strain of the CFS is reached.

The presence of voids under pavements or behind tunnel linings results in the deterioration. One method of detecting such voids by non-destructive means is radar. This research is devoted to quantitatively evaluating the efficiency of such non-destructive tests with radar. As a foundation to this ongoing research, which aims to estimate the thickness of voids using radar, an analysis method based on radar signal processing using convolution technique is carried out with various void thicknesses in embedded layer which has different electromagnetic properties. The computed results were verified by comparing the test results. As a result, a proposed method in this study has a possibilty of estimating the thickness of voids with good accuracy.

Recently, the fiber composite materials such as carbon fiber, glass fiber, or aramid, have been frequently used in strengthening reinforced concrete structures. The fiber composite materials typically have orthotropic characteristic and the strength changes significantly acording to the direction of fibers and the method of the lamination. In this study, an algorithm to estimate the stress-strain relationship of the composite materials which have different fiber directions and symmetric or non-symmetric lamination has been developed by using Tsai-Hill and Tsai-Wu failure criteria and progressive laminate failure theory. This algorithm has been implemented to several stress-strain models for the laterally confined concrete compression members such as Mander, Hosotani, and Nakatsuka. The evaluated stress-strain behaviors by the different models are discussed.

The concrete structure under fatigue load depresses in mechanical capability or breaks down finally because of the fatigue. So recently the study on strengthening methods using bonded plate is widely attended. Which could be constructed under use and without damaging the structure. The intention of this method is to increase the useability of the structure and to recover the strength. So application on fields are sharply increasing. In this study it is tried to develop strengthening methods using notches and anchor bolts which could supply the defect on falling off of the plate at the end.

The bridge slab of express railway was designed for high strength concrete (design strength 400kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$). In case the slab is made with the concrete using type I cement, used much amount of cement can cause cracks through concrete by hydration heat or dry shrinkage. In this study we targeted to solve above problems using type III cement. We could decrease the cement ratio in concrete using type III cement than type I cement. The concrete using type III cement showed good workability and compressive strength, and showed better properties in hydration heat and dry shrinkage than that using type I cement

In this paper, the Mohr-Coulomb criterion was adopted to predict the bonding failure load of the reinforced concrete beams strengthened by the externally bonded steel plates. Based on this criterion, a nonlinear analysis program of APSB(Analysis Program for Strengthened Beams) and nonlinear finite element analysis program of RCSD-SB (Reinforced Concrete Structural Design - Strengthened Beams) were developed. Numerical results were then compared with experimental results and good agreements were obtained.

R/C columns, one of the main structural members of reinforced concrete structures, usually sustain the axial forces of combined dead loads and live loads. When subjected to lateral loads, however, they are repeatedly subjected to bending moment, shearing forces and brittle failure such as shear failure can occur. This failure mode is not desirable and extra reinforcement is usually needed to induce a ductile failure. The design equation which is used to evaluate the maximum shear strength of a R/C column is still unsatisfactory. The objective of this study was, therefore, to evaluate the hysteretic strengthening effect and the maximum shear strength of R/C columns strengthened using carbon fibers on the seismic performance of the R/C columns under anti-symmetrical by acting moment. According to this study, it may be suggested that the shear of the strengthened R/C column were adequate to induce ductile failures.

A reinforcement corrosion prediction model was proposed using the results from accelerated testing and mathematical equation from the Fick's 2nd law for chloride-induced corrosion of reinforcement in concrete. The input data included the chloride concentration, mix characteristics of concrete, and environmental conditions. This model can be used to predict the chloride concentration pertaining to corrosion time and loading age for marine concrete structures. This model can also be used to predict the service life.

One of the main deteriorating factors that affect the service life of concrete structures is the corrosion of reinforcement. The chlorides penetrate the concrete, destroy the passive layer surrounding the steel, and help initiate the steel corrosion. A Corrosion Prediction System(CPS) has been developed to assist the engineer in analyzing the service life of existing sea-shore structures and future concrete repairs by calculate the chloride diffusion in concrete. The CPS calculates mixing design, physical properties or recent chloride profiles. The CPS can be used to evaluate changes in concrete cover, chloride loads, and environmental conditions in different structural designs.

Chloride ions are considered to be the major cause of steel corrosion in concrete structures exposed to seashore environments. Thus, estimating chloride ion concentrations by ages is needed to predict service life of seashore structures. Experimentally measured chloride profiles were used in this study for estimating chloride diffusion coefficients, and a relationship between mixing properties and chloride diffusion coefficients is proposed for predicting chloride penetrations.

Corrosion inhibitors are widely used to protect chloride-induced corrosion of reinforcement in concrete. However, the number of researches on the corrosion of reinforcement, when corrosion inhibitor is used, is not enough for actual application in the field. In addition, on corrosion of reinforcement a quantitative standard about corrosion inhibitor does not exist and the data about its influencing concrete are relatively rare. In this study, the effectiveness of rebar corrosion protection, setting time, compressive strength, chloride ion's penetration, and diffusion test were performed using with three different kinds of corrosion inhibitors.

Reinforced concrete is in general known as high durability construction material under normal environments due to strong alkalinity of cement. Marine and harbour concrete in the tidal and the splash zone at seashore are exposed to cyclic wet and dry saltwaters which cause to accelerate corrosion of reinforcing steel in concrete. If corrosion resistance of concrete gets to weaken due to carbonations and cracks in cover concrete, furthermore, concrete durability rapidly decreases by corrosion of reinforcement steel embedded in concrete. The objective of this study is to develop appropriate corrosion protection systems so as to enhance the durability of concrete by controlling the cover depth of concrete and by using corrosion inhibitors as concrete admixtures.

The concrete structures possessing good structural integrity can face durability problems due to deteriorations of concrete structures under various environmental conditions. The durability problems weaken the structural integrity in the long run. Especially, the excessive use of sea sand causes serious reinforcement corrosion and carbonation in concrete structures. An accelerated test is often used to predict deterioration as a qualitative measure, but without long term exposure test results or understanding of the relationship between the accelerated test and the long term exposure test, the accelerated test result alone can not be used effectively as a quantitative measure. In this paper, a methodology is proposed to predict the long term deteriorations, based on the result of the short-term accelerated test, of concrete containing different contents of chloride ions. Then, the correlation between two results on the steel corrosion ratio and the carbonation depth is analyzed for concrete with different chloride contents.

The objective of this study was to investigate the influence of low temperature curing on resistance of freezing and thawing of self-compacting concrete placed in cold weather regions. The experimental study results indicated that the self-compacting concrete incorporating ground granulated blast-furnace slag showed good resistance to freezing and thawing, and the self-compacting concrete cellulose viscous agent had relatively poor resistance to freezing and thawing.

The carbonation process is affected both by the concrete material properties such as W/C ratio, types of cement and aggregated, admixture characteristics and the environmental factors such as CO2 concentration, temperature, humidity. Based on results of preliminary research on carbonation, this study is to propose a carbonation prediction model by taking into account of prediction model by taking into account of CO2 concentration and W/C ratio among major factors affecting the carbonation process.

This study was carried out to quantitatively investigate the amount of corrosion at the time of onset of cracks in cover concrete due to rebar corrosion. In this experiments, the accelerated galvanostatic corrosion method was carried out. FEM analyses were also conducted to investigate the expansive behaviors due to rebar corrosion and the mechanical properties of corrosion products. As a result, it was concluded that the corrosion ratio at the time of onset of cracks in cover concrete was 3% by weight. The onset of cracks in cover concrete due to rebar corrosion could be analyzed by the finite element method.

Accelerated chloride diffusion tests were carried out to estimate the chloride diffusion coefficient of concrete using ordinary portland cement, low heat belite-rich portland cement, and sulphate resistant portland cement. Concrete using low heat belite-rich portland cement showed a high diffusion coefficient due to delayed hydration of low heat belite rich portland cement, while the diffusion coefficients of concrete using sulphate resistant portland cement and ordinary portland cement were low.

This study was carried out to estimate the effects of the loading conditions on the corrosion of reinforcing bars and permeation of chloride ion. The permeation of chlorides depends not only on the transfer properties in concrete but also on the load applied in the case of reinforced concrete structures. Recent studies reported that the loading conditions affected the corrosion rate of the reinforcing bars under existence of an external current supply. But it was not reported that loading conditions affected corrosion of reinforcing bar caused by the characteristics of permeation and the process of cracking. In this experiment, it was shown that the corrosion of reinforcing bars and the characteristics of permeating were greatly affected by the loading conditions.

The compressive strength of concrete is one of the most important properties in concrete structures. There are, two methods for the testing of concrete compressive strength in structure ; coring and nondestructive testing. The latter is more often used than the former in a view of time and expenses. The Nondestructive test methods used nowadays include Rebound Hammer test and Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity test. Carbonation through aging makes changes of the interior structure and the properties of concrete. It is well-known fact that the surface hardness of concrete is increased by its carbonation. This fact makes it difficult in estimating the compressive strength of concrete using Rebound Hammer test. This study aimed to quantitatively analyzed the effects of carbonation on results of the Rebound Hammer test.

To estimate durability of reinforced concrete structures located in or nearby seawater, many different kinds of accelerated tests for evaluation of chloride ion permeation in concrete were proposed. At present the only standardized test is the ASTM C 1202(RCP test). This test method is used to estimate the concrete's resistivity of the chloride penetration in concrete by using the total charges passed and sometimes used to calculate the chloride diffusion coefficients. However, this test may lead to an erroneous chloride diffusion coefficient. So this test method was compared with the modified Dhir's test and the traditional concentration diffusion test. Experimental results showed that the diffusion coefficients determined the RCP test and the PD Index gave wrongous values, but the diffusion coefficient acquired by considering a migration term was nearly the same to the CD Test.

Exact estimation of cement content in a hardened concrete can provide useful data to evaluate the quality and strength of the concrete and might be used to inspect the quality of precast concrete secondary products. Observation obtained in this research included : (1) the volume of coarse aggregate in the hardened concrete measured by the area comparison method has a high accuracy ; (2) the cement content in the mortar and the X-ray intensity of Ca-K$\alpha$ have a correlation factor of 0.96 ; (3) the cement content in the ready mixed concrete was estimated with high accuracy such as correlation factor of 0.99 and standard deviation of 0.64.

Deterioration induced by the freezing and thawing in concrete often leads to the reduction in concrete durability by the cracking or surface spalling. In this paper, the deterioration prediction model for concrete structures subjected to the irregular freeze-thaw was proposed from the results of accelerated laboratory test using the constant temperature condition and acceleration factor from the in-situ weather data.

With these results, The Production of FCP-Form seemed possible. In the banding load test, P-S showed increase of maxim load 12% than P-R. At the first stage of minute crack, under continuing loading size of crack increased. These phenomena seemed to be based on contribution of stress of inner bars in FCP-Form. In the test of defection. P-S shower about 10% banding load increase than P-R. FCP-Form Concrete was found to be efficient in compressibleness, defection, safety and use of material.

This research analyzed the factors for crack generation and proposed the recommended construction methods for the efficient crack control of underground RC box structures under the roadway. The selected main factors were: details of contraction joints, ratio of crack control rebars in longitudinla direction, and placement of flyash concrete. These factors were tested on the actual structures and the significance of each factor was analyzed, The results show that the flyash concrete placement and the inducting minor cracks in a certain direction by adopting contraction joints are practical and efficient methods to control cracks. The significance of crack generating factors increases as the sectional loss of contraction joint spacing increase. It was recommeded that the sectional loss should be higher than 20 percent to maximize the crack generating effects. It was not possible to verify the effect of crack control rebar spacing, but it was estimated that the ratio of crack control rebar should be increased to minimize cracks.

In abroad, especially in the United States and Canada PCCP applies virtually every metropolitan area with raw and treated water.

Blast furnace slag cement(BSC) has many merits in relation to its prodution cost or environmental problem of these days, but it has still some limitation in broad use mainly because it has the lower early hydration strength than the normal portland cement(PC) has. In the present study, several different experimental concepts to improve its low strength in the early hydration stage were tried out which addition of the effective alkali activators such as Ca(OH)2 and limestone powder, fly ash in existing BSC. It was found that the addition of suitable quantity the effective alkali activators such as Ca(OH)2 and limestone powder, fly ash in BSC can be a possible way to get enough early strength compared with the PC and existing BSC.

A common hydraulic jack using brdige retrofit has a problem of increasing cost and time of construction to construct additionally temporary bent or concrete bracket, in case of insufficiency work space and release hydraulic pressure. To solve the problem, this technique is developed to alternate the bridge bearing in adequate inspection condition. After control maximum lift-height and minimum lift-force of no damage to super structure, the constructive technique is to alternate and repair the bridge bearing using the wedge jack with bridge bearing ability that is no release hydraulic pressure stopper, and able to reuse separable cylinder.

A large concentrated load is often transferred to reinforced concrete footing in a tall building. In this study, a foundation system which used high strength precast concrete bearing plate was proposed. This concrete bearing plate has to be strong enough to resist the column load. However, a sufficient bearing strength may not be provided if the column load is too high and the concrete of bearing plate does not have enough strength.

Drainage concrete pavement, unlike water permeable concrete pavement, is to preclude the pavement from overflowing with water, such as rain water, from infiltrating into earth by placing a border in the middle layer which makes water to flow through the surface of the border to the conduit. Drainage concrete pavement enhances car wheel resistance to slippery and wet road surface and imbibes noise caused by friction on the road. Also, by using pigment, it adds to the beauty of the environment. Drainage concrete pavement can be used for sidewalks, roadways, parking lots and expressways.

Inchon International Airport Elevated Road Way is located between the Passenger Terminal Building and Transportaion Center which are Inchon International Airport core construction projects. The deck of the bridge is consists of 5-span or 6-span continuous pre-stressed concrete slab. Steel form has been used to enhance the quality of texture on concrete slab. Steel form has been used to enhance the quality of texture on concrete surface, lower surface of deck slab with the two way arch has been manufactured by highly professional manner in order to get an beautiful exterior architectural looks. The prestressed concrete deck slab is mass concrete structures with a high-specified concrete strength and a varying section in the range of 0.95-2.8m thickness. Therefore high risks of thermal cracking occurrence by heat of hydration highly are expected. To resolve such problem, we adopted type 1 cement and pipe cooking method at construction site through mass concrete specimen test and 3-dimensional analysis. For Pipe cooling we used 25mm diameter stainless pipes with wrinkles. Cooling pipe with spacing 50-60cm has been installed. And continuous pipe cooling with cooling water of 15$^{\circ}C$ was conducted for 2days. In present 8 span of all 29 spans construction has been completed. No thermal cracking heat hydration has been observed yet.

This study aims to examine the influence of the unit powder content of concrete and the fine aggregate ration of high flowing concrete after the improvement of grain shape of the coarse aggregate. According to the experimental results, flowbility and compating of concrete presents the best states in the S/a which has the smallest void ratio. The coarse aggregate after improvement of grain shape has been changed from 0.68 circular ratio of disc shape to 0.73 circular shape. It lead to be down 6% of fine aggregate ratio (from 47% to 41%), which is satisfactory to compacting. Also, the improvement of grain shape of the coarse aggregate lead the lowest unit powder content to be down 60kg/㎥ from (530kg/㎥ to 470kg/㎥). And about 11% unit water content can be reduced as unit powder conent is down.
