In the current study, retarding type and standard type admixture design of concrete have been proposed to control the generation of hydration heat for foundation members that use high strengths concrete. Finite element analysis also has been conducted to understand the rational placing heights of concrete. In addition, real-size structures have experimented and their results were compared to the analytical results to evaluate the reducing effect of thermal stress . For a large 6.5 m×6.5 m×3.5 m member with retarding and standard type horizontal partition placement of concrete showed the manageable possibility of temperature difference within 25-degree Celcius between the middle and surface portion while the maximum temperature was 77-degree Celcius. Also, temperature cracking index from the finite element analysis appeared to be 1.49 that predicts no formation of cracking due to the effects of temperature. Finally, it appeared that horizontal partition placement of retarding and standard type concrete has the significant effect of reducing the thermal stress that generated by the hydration heat in the high strengths mass concrete.

This study is to be suggest the optimal mat foundation mixing design of high strength concrete by using fly ash and retarding admixture. This study applied retarding admixture to high strength concrete over 40MPa, and tested the mechanical properties of concrete according to binder content(385∼415kg/㎥), fly ash substitution rate(0~25%), and adding rate of retarding admixture(0~1.2%) As a results, For the concrete to be applied to lower part of mat foundation, it is suitable to substitute FA 25% with binder contents 385kg/㎥ and to apply the mixing with adding retarding admixture 1% in order to repress hydration heat and to cast concrete at once through congelation delay. As a result of experiments of adiabatic temperature rising, coefficients of adiabatic temperature rising K and α were 40.68 and 1.08 for retarding-type concrete and 42.8 and 1.13 for standard concrete, respectively, under the condition of initial concrete temperature about 19℃. In the identical temperature condition, differences of adiabatic temperature rising speed according to use of retarding admixture were not different, and maximum value of adiabatic temperature rising of retarding-type concrete was lower than standard concrete.

In this study, we aim to develop energy efficient walking and running robot with compliant leg. So, we propose the energy efficient locomotion control method. And, we experiment the proposed control method applying to the experimental robot with compliant leg. From the experiment, we look at whether the proposed control method can the robot walk and run energy efficiently.

In previous researches[2,3] , the self-stability was studied for the spring-mass model and the two segment leg model. In these researches, it was presented that the spring-mass model has the self-stable region at relatively high speed running and the two segment leg model has the self-stable region at relatively low speed running. If the model was run in the self-stable region, the cost of transport[1] is zero ideally. That is, actually, only the energy loss is needed to compensate for running. This means that the energy efficiency is high, running in the self-stable region. We want to have high energy efficiency at low and high speed running. So, in this paper, we propose the design direction of the three segment leg having the self-stable region at low and high speed running. And
