As a previous research, improved durability of concrete by filling capillary pores with waste cooking oil was suggested as a method of controlling carbonation of the concrete replaced high volume of SCMs. on the other hand, the emulsified refined waste cooking oil for better mixing performance had a drawback of reducing air content related with decreasing freeze-thawing resistance. As a solution of this problem, surface applying method was suggested instead of adding in mixing process, and in this research, the performance regarding concrete durability are evaluated comparing emulsified refined cooking oil with water-repelling agent.

Although the carbonation problem of high-volume slag concrete has been solved by the mixed use of emulsified refine cooling oil as the pilot study, there was an instance of securing air quantity and frost resistance followed by the use of Expancel due to the problem of having vulnerability in frost resistance in result as the air quantity has not been secured. But due to the problem of Expancel not being economical, air quantity and frost resistance of high-volume slag concrete mixed with ERCO are attempted to be secured using micro bubble that can remain in the water for a long time as a relatively economical and very microscopic bubble.

In this study, fundamental performances of high strength concrete with ERCO has been analysed according to mock-up test. The following results could be made as the conclusion. For the fresh concrete, flowability and air content decreased with the addition of ERCO, and all the specimens satisfied the target range. For the strength properties, all the specimens with different nominal strength showed higher compressive srength than Plain which with 0% dosage of ERCO.

In this study, mock-up test for high strength concrete with ERCO has been carried to analyse the effect of autogenous shrinkage reducing of using ERCO. The following results could be made as the conclusion. Results of EIS were lower than 2.5 and showed good resistance for separation of materials. For the setting time, specimen with ERCO showed delay of setting comparing with Plain. For the autogenous shrinkage, as the generation of saponification, capillary pores inside the concrete were filled by soap and the autogenous shrinkage has been obviously decreased. It could be identified that using ERCO in high strength showed good effect on reducing autogenous shrinkage in high strength concrete.

This study is a series of studies intended to derive the improvement of strength concrete quality using an emulsified refined oil (ERCO). In other words, ERCO is used to analyze the improvement degree of the basic properties of ordinary strength concrete by pre-adding the AE Agent on its products. ERCO was also planned to have a mixing ratio of 0, 0.5 %, and the pre-addtion of AE agent mixed with 0, 1, 2, and 3 % of the concrete's mixed ERCO mass. As a result, as the pre-injection of AE agent was increased, the slump, and air contents tended to be improved microscopically, but there was no significant effect. and Compressive strength tends to increase smart-all as the pre-addtion of AE agent increases in concrete, but it does not have a significant effect.

As the treatments of many kinds of explosive objects increase recently, it is in the trend that explosion accidents increase. Thus, many studies on HPFRCC (High-performance Fiber-reinforced Cement Composites) whose ductility is enhanced are being conducted actively in order to minimize the damages from explosion accidents. However, HPFRCC, the self-shrinkage of HPFRCC is on the rise as a problem since it becomes ultra-high strengthened by using low W/B. Thus, in this study, it is intended to evaluate the capacity for reducing the self-shrinkage of HPFRCC depending on some changes of ERCO(Emulsified Refined Cooking Oil) replacement ratio and the fiber replacement ratio between some short steel fibers (SS) and some long organic fibers (OL). As a result, it was found that some excellent effects are exerted since the self-shrinkage was reduced a lot as the ERCO replacement ratio increases and the fiber replacement ratio of SS rather than OL increases.

The aim of this research is analyzing the fundamental properties and autogenous shrinkage reducing performance of 70 and 100MPa grade high performance concrete including emusified refined cooking oil(ERCO) under the mock-up conditions. As a results of experiment, the mixture contained 0.5% of ERCO showed slightly decreased slump flow while the slump was increased and segregation resistance performance was improved as 2.5 of EIS. For air content, all mixtures satisfied target air content with increased unit weight and delayed setting time with ERCO addition. In the case of compressive strength, when ERCO was added 0.5%, the result of approximately 5 to 10% of increased compressive strength was observed. For the autogenous shrinkage, ERCO contributed on 20-30% of shrinkage reducing performance comparing to Plain mixture without ERCO. It is considered that capillary pore filling action of soap particles occurred by the reaction of ERCO in cement paste between fatty aicd and calcium hydroxide contributed the shrinkage reducing performance. Based on these mock-up test results, application of the high performance concrete mixture with ERCO on CFT actual structure was decided.

In this research, the influence of painting materials and applying timing on carbonation and chloride resistances of high volume SCMs concrete was evaluated. As a durability improving method, comparative tests were conducted with painting materials of ERCO (emulsified refined cooking oil), RCO (refined cooking oil), WR (water repellent agent), and ERCO + WR and with painting timings of right after demolding, and 28 days after the wet curing. From the experiment results, in the case of carbonation and chloride resistance, the carbonation depth and chloride penetration depth were decreased when the painting materials were applied in 28 days of wet curing. Additionally, for painting materials, with the order of ERCO, RCO, ERCO+WR, and WR, the carbonation and chloride penentration was delayed. Hence it is considered that ERCO shows the most favorable performance of resistance against carbonation and chloride penetration.

Military camps deal with various types of explosives. For instance, military engineering unit conducts education and training for laying landmines. However, in case of land mine craters installed with regular-level RC, structural safety may be in danger thus there is a necessity to utilize High Performance Fiber-Reinforced Cement Composites (HPFRCC), which has high functionality in protection and blast resistance. Therefore, in this research we conducted an field application of land mine crater of HPFRCC, using the existing optimal fiber mixing ratio and ERCO addition ratio.

In this study, it is speculated that the special admixture can be mixed with ERCO beforehand to prevent adsorption of cement and AE at the time of contamination together with water, and the change in the amount of special admixture preliminarily added to ERCO We will try to analyze the influence on normal strength mortar. As a result, the flow quantity, the air quantity, the compressive strength and the flexural strength were improved as the added amount of the special admixture was increased, and When the special admixture with the addition amount of ERCO 3% was added, the strength was rather lowered. Therefore, it was found that the optimum amount of special admixture added to ERCO was 2%.
