The purpose of this study is to compare the compression strength of gypsum substituted mortar with that of mortar. After replacing the cement with the loess, a portion of the remaining cement was replaced with gypsum to make specimens. When the gypsum is replaced, the strength of all the specimens is lower than that of the standard specimen. It is necessary to use a long-term strength mixed material to replace this.

The purpose of this experimental study is to increase the strength of mortar mixed with activated Hwang-Toh (AHT) and granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS) as a compound for the development of eco-friendly concrete. The compressive strength test was carried out by making mortar specimens with a certain ratio of AHT and GGBS. The percentage of AHT were at 30% and 50% and the GGBS were a 40% and 50% as Major variables. The results of this study showed that for specimens with percentage of AHT at 30% with GGBS increased above the strength of the mortar without the binding. However, the compressive strength of experimentation with percentage of AHT at 50% with partially replace GGBS has decreased by more than the mortar without the binding. Therefore, further study is deemed necessary.

The objective of the study is to compare theoretical displacement and strain values with those obtained from experiment. The elastic load method was used to obtain the theoretical values. For comparison purpose, H-beams were tested using a three point bending test method. The load-displacement and load-strain curves from the experiment were compared to those from the theory. According to the comparison, displacement was in good agreement with less than 10% difference. Strain values showed difference ranging from approximately 11 to 30%.

The present study was conducted to appraise tow theoretical models for reinforced concrete members strengthened with carbon fiber reinforced polymer(CFRP) sheets. Predicted values using two models by ACI 440.2R-08 were compared with ones obtained from experiment. For this, two flexural specimens were tested: one unstrengthened specimen and the other strengthened with CFRP sheets. Based on the test results, the wow models are reliable by showing good agreement with the test results.
