Concrete structures built by 3D printing technology is formed as the several concrete layers. Thus, 3D printing technology for concrete structure could have less strength than the design. In this study, fracture energy (fracture toughness) tests for layered concrete in various condition was performed. depending on required time for stacking new layer. Based on the results of performed tests, it was found that fracture energy was decreased due to increased non-bonded time.
The maximum bond strength of PCS-coated rebar with ultra high-early strength cement and EVA at polymer-cement ratio of 80%, curing ages of 7-day, and coating thickness of 100㎛ is about 1.32 and 1.38 times respectively, the strength of uncoated rebar and epoxy-coated rebar.

This paper investigates the strength properties of ground granulated blast furnace slag(GGBFS) with magnesium sulfate(MgSO4). GGBFS was replaced with 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5% MgSO4 by weight. Mixtures of sodium hydroxide(NaOH) and sodium silicate(Na2SiO3) were used as the alkaline activator; a mixture of 5% NaOH and 5% Na2SiO3, and a mixture of 10% NaOH and 10% Na2SiO3 by slag weight. The added activators were dissolved in the water, and the weight ratio of water to slag was 0.45. This study was performed using compressive strength testing, ultrasonic pulse velocity(UPV), water absorption and X-ray diffraction(XRD). In this study, the strength of hardened samples decreases with increasing MgSO4 content. In addition, the water absorption of samples increases and UPV decreases, with the increase of MgSO4 content. Brucite, gypsum and M-S-H(magnesium silicate hydrate) are present in the XRD patterns of the hardened samples.

In this paper, the sulfate resistance of concrete substituted the crushed heavy weight waste glass as fine aggregate are compared and evaluated. From the results, when heavy weight waste glass substituted ratio increase, the reduction rate of compressive strength is decreased. So, the sulfate resistance is improved by using heavy weight waste glass in concrete.
In the work, HPC (High Performance Concrete) samples are prepared with 3 levels of W/B (water to binder) ratios of 0.37, 0.42, and 0.27 and 3 levels of replacement ratios of 0%, 30% and 50%. Several tests containing chloride diffusion coefficient, passed charge, and compressive strength are performed considering age effect of 28 days and 180 days. Chloride diffusion is more reduced in OPC concrete with lower W/B ratio, and GGBFS concrete with 50% replacement ratio shows significant reduction of chloride diffusion in higher W/B ratio. At the age of 28 days, GGBFS concrete with 50% replacement ratio shows more rapid reduction of chloride diffusion than strength development, which reveals that abundant GGBFS replacement has effective resistance to chloride penetration even in the early-aged condition.
This paper presents evaluation of diffusion coefficient, passed charge, and compressive strength considering 3 substitution ratios of fly ash(0%, 30%, and 50%) and 3 different W/B ratios(37%, 42%, and 47%). Also, the relationships among diffusion coefficient, passed charge, and compressive strength are investigated focusing on the results at 28 days and 180 days. With increasing replacement ratio of FA and decreasing W/B, the resistances to chlorides(diffusion coefficient and passed charge) are improved. At 28 days and 180 days, linear relationship are observed between strength and resistance to chloride on the whole.

To ensure the safety of weathering steel structures, it is important to evaluate the time-dependent corrosion behavior. Thus, progress and effect of corrosion damage on weathering steel members should be evaluated, but predicted corrosion depth do not go far enough until now, which is affected by the corrosion environment. In this study, the corrosion resistant of weathering steel was examined to quantifiably investigate and compare the corrosion depth of carbon and weathering steel.

The spaces under bridge have been used as business zone and yard. The facilities and piles of goods under bridges are considered at high risk for fire danger. In this paper, CFD simulations were conducted to predict the temperature change beneath steel and concrete bridges due to fire in clothing boxes, frequently placed in the space under bridge. Based on these results, the relationship between the piled height of clothing boxes and the clearance of bridge, and temperatures beneath the bridge was derived using a Lagrange interpolation.
