    This report describes the results of the realities investigations of ready-mixed concrete and the quality assessment examinations using the aggregates collected from ready mixed concrete plants. The plant investigations showed the realities of the water content, cement content and water-cement ratio in a standard admixture. The influence which the aggregate exerted on compressive strength, the modulus of Young's elasticity, autogenous shrinkage, drying shrinkage and coefficient of thermal expansion was clarified by the examinations. Notes in construction were described to the results of the investigations and the examinations.

    A compression test for concrete-mortar-concrete specimens has been developed to investigate the compression behavior of the joint mortar between two ultra-high-strength precast concrete columns. A method for estimating the compressive strength from the strength values of constituent materials is proposed. Long-term loading tests confirmed that the joint mortar remains stable over a long period of time even under high stress. The compression test was also used as a joint mortar strength control test for a practical building. The test results indicate that the newly developed test can be used to obtain reliable strength test results under accuracy conditions of specimen fabrication and precise loading.
