GGBFS (Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag) is a byproduct with engineering advantages and HVSC (High Volume Slag Concrete) is widely attempted due to active utilization and reduction of eco-load. In the present work, characteristics of drying shrinkage and early-aged behavior are evaluated for the concrete with 65% replacement ratio of GGBFS and 50MPa of design strength. For the work, 3 different mix conditions are considered and several tests including slump flow, compressive strength, drying and autogeneous shrinkage are performed. From the test, OPC 100 mixture without replacement shows higher strength development before 7 days, however the strength reduction in concrete replaced with GGBFS is not significant due to sufficient free water for cement hydration. OPC 100 mixture also shows significant drying shrinkage due to a great autogeneous shrinkage before 3 days. In the concrete with GGBFS replacement, the drying shrinkage behavior is improved due to relatively small deformation by autogeneous shrinkage. The mixture (OPT BS 65) with lower w/b ratio (0.27) and unit content of water ($160kg/m^3$) shows more improved shrinkage behavior than BS 65 mixture which has simple replacement of GGBFS with 0.30 of w/b and $165kg/m^3$ of water unit content.

Nowadays, research about using recycled aggregate as alkali activator has been investigated. By the mechanism of Alkali activation, blast furnace slag's potential hydraulis property would be activated. Thee application of this technique is considered as fit for low strength concrete, so it's suitable in concrete secondary production such as bricks and blocks. Aside alkali activator, sulfate could also activate blast furnace slag's potential hydranlis property. In this research, gypsum(CaSO4·2H2O)has been added with blast furnace slag. Fundamental experiment such as flow and strength has been tested to evalnate effect of gypsum's activation property.

The object of this study is to investigate the strength characteristics and the freeze-thaw resistance of high strength concrete incorporating fine blast furnace slag. Major experimental variables were the water/cement ratio, maximum size of coarse aggregate, and cement types such as ordinary portland and slag cement. The results were as follows ; The workability of fresh concrete incorporating fine blast furnace slag was better than that of OPC(ordinary Portland cement) in terms of slump. The freeze-thaw resistance showed better than that of OPC, keeping more than 90% of relative modules of elasticity after 506 cycles and showing only a hair crack at surface without serious damage. Thus, the fine blast furnace slag might be recycled at concrete to make high strength concrete at fields.

The effects of mineral admixtures on the bonding properties of cement mortar to polyolefin based synthetic fiber were evaluated. The mineral admixtures consisted of 0%, 5%, 10%, and 15% fly ash, blast furnace slag, and metakaolin in cement. Bond interactions between the cement mortar and the polyolefin based synthetic fiber were determined by Dog-bone bond tests. Bond tests of the polyolefin based synthetic fiber showed an increase in pullout load with the strength of the cement mortar. Also, the interface toughness of polyolefin based synthetic fiber in cement mortar increased as the fly ash, blast furnace slag, and metakaolin contents increased. The microstructure of polyolefin based synthetic fiber surface was examined after the pullout test to analyze the frictional resistant force according to the replacement ratio of fly ash, blast furnace slag, and metakaolin during the pullout process of polyolefin based synthetic fiber in cement mortar. The scratched of polyolefin based synthetic fibers increased with the replacement ratio of fly ash, blast furnace slag, and metakaolin. Also, the interface toughness was enhanced by adhesion forces induced by the fly ash, blast furnace slag, and metakaolin.

Recently, to consider financial and constructive aspect usage of Admixture such as Blast-Furnace Slag and Fly-Ash, are increased. Also the use of cold-weather-concrete is increased. Blast-Furnace Slag, a by-product of steel industry, have many advantage to reduce the heat of hydration, increase in ultimate strength and etc. But it also reduces early-age strength, so it is prevented from using of Blast-Furnace Slag at cold-weather-concrete. In this study, for the purpose of increasing usage of Blast-Furnace Slag at cold-weather-concrete, it is investigated the strength properties of concrete subjected to frost damage for the cause of early age curing. The factors of this experience to give early frost damaged were Freezing temperature(-1, -10, $-15^{\circ}C$), Early curing age(0, 12, 24, 48hour), Freezing times(0, 12, 24, 48hour). According to this study, if early curing is carried out before haying frost damage, the strength of concrete used admixture, subjected to frost damage, is recovered. And that properties are considered, the effect of using admixture like blast-furnace-slag, is very high

The grouting method is utilized to reinforce and waterproof poor grounds, enhance the bearing capacity of structures damaged resulting from settlement due to elevation and vibration or differential settlement, and for cutoff. The purpose of this research is to enhance the compressive strength of grout materials by using aramid fiber and develop a high-strength ground improvement method by using blast furnace slag powder. In this regard, this study has conducted a uniaxial compression test after checking the high charge (higher than 50%) of the ratio of blast furnace slag powder and cement at 100:0, 70:30 and 40:60%, adding the aramid mixture based on 0, 0.5 and 1.0% of the cement and furnace slag powder weight and creating sand gels based on surface oiling rate of 0.7 and 1.2%. For the environmental review evaluation, a heavy metal exudation test and a pH test measurement have been conducted. The experiment results showed that 1% increase of aramid fiber led to 1.3 times greater uniaxial compression intensity. As for the hexavalent chrome, a 30% increase in blast furnace slag powder led to approximately 50% decrease in heavy metal exudation. However, the pH test revealed that a 30% increase in blast furnace slag powder resulted in approximately 0.5 increase in pH. Further research on the pH part is needed in the future.
