In this study, To evaluate the durability of concrete by freezing-thawing, relative dynamic modulus of elasticity and surface roughness were measured. The results showed that the surface roughness can be used to understand the damage tendency of freezing-thawing and the durability of concrete.
The freezing-thawing damage of concrete structures is difficult to identify quantitatively in field. Therefore in this study, the correlation between rebound hardness values by Schmidt hammer on concrete surface and relative dynamic modulus of elasticity which is the most quantitative measuring method of damage by freezing-thawing are reviewed. The results showed that those two factors have similar decreasing tendency according to development of freezing-thawing degradation.

This study investigated the applicability of synthetic resins as neutron shielding aggregates in cementitious materials with SEM analysis. Synthetic resins contain lots of hydrogen atoms, which is effective in neutron shielding by an elastic scattering because its mass is almost the same as that of the neutron. The SEM results showed that the binding force between HDPE/PP particles and cement matrix is very week compared to that of UPE particles so that additional treatment such as surface reforming should be needed.
This study aimed to propose a reasonable performance evaluation process of freeze-thaw and carbonation depth on concrete structures, especially considering the time-dependent and environmental effects, to develop a long-term maintenance plan in Korea.
Concrete indicates highly alkaline through hydration reaction of mortars that were attached to the RCA's surface. In this study, the carbonation of concrete incorporating coated RCA was investigated through accelerated carbonation test. As a results, coated RCA was indicated to be better than normal RCA.
In this study, we looked at characteristics and properties of polyethylene glycol (PEG) mixed with cement paste. And as a result, brought improvement on strength and durability, discovering the possibility of development of more economical and easily workable injection material.
Be constructed in the Middle East, recent overseas plant business mainly due to an increase in the amount of concrete in the construction sector is growing. When using plain concrete and concrete development of the initial expansion of the initial hydration, due to thermal stress that causes cracks in the concrete problems, and prevention of this by the use of the delay is expected to increase. In addition to the increase in domestic traffic produced in ready-mixed concrete plants and concrete due to high temperature during transportation upon arrival at the scene quickly if condensation begins to degrade due to the slump loss and workability after curing of cold joint and cause filling defects and the need for the measures . In the case of the powder that is currently on the market in order to obtain a uniform delay effects can be mixed, may be added, such as, wet, etc. Keep a less efficient storage, even if the delay has to be taken. This powder improves the delay and store it in a tablet, a delay effect to encourage the development of tablet, and the delay for compliance with basic properties was investigated.
