This study used the ultrasonic pulse velocity method, one of the non-destructive test methods that does not damage the building for maintenance of to-be-constructed concrete structures using recycled aggregates in order to estimate the compressive strength of high strength concrete structure using recycled coarse aggregate and provide elementary resources for technological establishment of ultrasonic pulse velocity method. 200 test pieces of high strength concrete 40, 50MPa using recycled coarse aggregate were manufactured by replacement rates (0, 30, 50, 100%) and age (1, 7, 28, 180days), and air curing was executed to measure compressive strength and wave velocity. As the result of compressive strength measurement, the one with age of 180day and design strength of 40MPa was 43.69MPa, recycled coarse aggregate replacement rate of 30% 50% 100% were 42.82, 41.22, 37.35MPa, and 50MPa was 52.50MPa, recycled coarse aggregate replacement rate of 30% 50% 100% were 49.02, 46.66, 45.30MPa, and while it could be seen that the test piece substituted with recycled aggregate was found to have lower strength than the test piece with natural aggregate only, but it still reached the design strength to a degree. The correlation of compressive strength and ultrasonic pulse velocity was found and regression analysis was conducted. The estimation formula for compressive strength of high strength concrete using recycled coarse aggregate was found to be Fc=0.069Vp4.05, R2=0.66

Recently, many structures which were built about 30 years ago are watched by reconstruction. Demolished concrete is occurred in the process and these quantity increase about 10% more than the preceding year. Although the government have promoted to use recycled coarse aggregate, many registered architects have not use it, because natural aggregate is still cheaper than recycled coarse aggregate's price and they have question about quality of recycled coarse aggregate. In addition, there are no grounds to rely upon compressive strength and ultrasonic pulse velocity method of recycled coarse aggregate when it is used to high strength concrete. In this paper, bases will be adduced to verify applicative possibility of estimation of compressive strength of high-strength concrete with recycled aggregate using ultrasonic pulse velocity method. For this, compressive strength and ultrasonic pulse velocity method tests of 240 high strength concrete specimens with recycled coarse aggregate were performed, and the high strength concrete specimens were tested within the limits such as compressive strength and ultrasonic pulse velocity

This study proposes model formulae for predicting the strength of concrete by analyzing the relationships between the results of nondestructive testing (NDT) methods and the compressive strength of concrete specimens at the hardened stage. Further, NDT of concrete molds and mock-up specimens was conducted using NDT methods (rebound hammer, ultrasonic pulse velocity). The water/cement (W/C) ratios were set to 0.48, 0.41, and 0.33 to achieve concrete strengths within the compressive strength range of 24–60 MPa. The evaluation parameters included the fresh concrete properties, compressive strength (mold and core), temperature history, maturity, rebound value, and ultrasonic pulse velocity. Evaluation results indicated that the reliability of existing models, based on the rebound and ultrasonic pulse velocity, is significantly low on high-strength concrete of 40 MPa or higher, and cannot satisfy the ±20% error range. Consequently, this study proposes a regression equation of the concrete strength based on the experimental rebound and ultrasonic pulse velocity values in a 24–60 MPa range, which offers satisfactory reliability.

This study uses the ultrasonic pulse velocity method, one of the non-destructive testing methods that do not damage the structure, to analyze the correlation of wave velocity and compressive strength of normal strength and high strength concrete to propose an estimation formula. And a concrete member is produced to estimate the compressive strength, and provide elementary data for establishing a site-applicable standard for strength estimation formula. In order to analyze the correlation of concrete compressive strength and wave velocity, total of 144 specimens were produced per age, and six concrete members were produced for wave velocity measurement. In this study, the Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity method was used to propose a compressive strength estimation formula of normal strength and high strength concrete, which was applied to concrete members for verification, and the following conclusion was obtained. The correlation between wave velocity and compressive strength was found to be Fc=0.0952VP3.5, R2=0.82 for normal strength concrete, and Fc=0.0028VP6.1, R2=0.83 for high strength concrete. Result of comparing the estimated strength of the concrete member of the relative error rate was standard strength 18.7% on average, the high-strength 8.7%

Most previous studies on the strength properties of coal bottom ash (CBA) concrete have focused on concrete with a normal compressive strength, and thus, studies on the strength properties of high-strength concrete (HSC) containing CBA are limited. Therefore, the effects of replacing fine aggregates with CBA and variations in the curing age on the strength properties of HSC with a compressive strength of greater than 60 MPa were investigated in this study. The different CBA contents included 25, 50, 75, and 100%, and the different curing ages were 28 and 56 days. The mechanical properties of the HSC with CBA incorporated as fine aggregates were examined. The experimental results revealed that CBA could be partially or totally substituted for fine aggregates during HSC production. The test results also showed that the compressive, splitting tensile, and flexural strengths of the HSC containing CBA fine aggregates slightly decreased as the CBA content increased. Moreover, useful relationships between the compressive strength, splitting tensile strength, and flexural strength were suggested, and the predictions reasonably agreed with the measurements. Compared to those of the control specimen, the pulse velocities of the HSC specimens at various CBA contents decreased by less than 3%. In addition, equations for predicting the strength values of CBA concrete by using the ultrasonic pulse velocity were suggested.

In this paper, morphology and ultrasonic pulse velocity (UPV) of high strength concrete with a relatively high ratio of condensed silica fume and PVC waste aggregate as sand replacement have been examined. The plastic aggregate was obtained from shredding PVC waste sheets used for secondary roofing and covering walls. Variables tested were PVC plastic grading and ratio of sand replacement with such plastic, in addition to curing time of concrete. Results of scanning electron microscopy showed that there is a good bond between PVC aggregate particles and hardened cement paste. There was a relatively small reduction of UPV value of concrete, increased with increasing PVC aggregate content, reached 14.3% at 40% PVC content. The UPV lost is slightly increased with increasing concrete age from 7 days to 56 days. Results also showed that the effect of PVC aggregate grading on the residual UPV is not important. Based on the measured residual properties of high strength with silica fume and PVC granules, there is a high degree of silica fume hydration and the existence of PVC particles has no effect on such hydration.

In this work, utilization of metakaolin (MK) and calcite (C), working reversely in workability aspect, as mineral admixture in self-compacting concrete (SCC), was investigated. MK and C replaced cement in mass basis at various replacement ratios, separately and together. In total, 19 different SCCs were produced. Binder content and water to binder ratio were selected as 500 kg/m3 and 0.4, respectively. Workability tests including slump flow, T50, L-box, and V-funnel tests were performed. Consistency and setting times of binder paste were measured. While replacement of MK with cement increased the amount of plasticiser requirement, calcite worked reversely and decreased it. Reverse influence of MK and C on plasticiser requirement of SCC made possible to produce SCC at total 45% replacement ratio of MK and C together. Samples of SCC were cured in water at 20°C temperature. Compressive strengths of SCC samples were measured up to six months to evaluate the influence of MK and C, separately and together. Ultrasonic pulse velocity, abrasion, and capillary water absorption values of samples were determined at specified age. MK inclusion in concrete reduces workability, while C inclusion increases it. C and MK inclusion together remedied workability of concrete and enabled to produce SCC with high volume of admixtures. Furthermore, C incorporation increased one-day compressive strength, while MK incorporation reduced it in comparison with control concrete. In long term, C inclusion reduced compressive strength; however, MK inclusion increased it. C inclusion remedied one-day strength of concrete when it was used together with MK. MK inclusion remedied long-term compressive strength when it was used together with C and enabled to produce high-strength SCC with high volume of admixtures. SCC containing MK and C together showed better durability-related property.
