The effect of fly ash to prevent detrimental expansion due to alkali -silica reaction was investigated through the ASTM C 1260 method that is one of the most commonly used method because results can be obtained within about 16 days. Reactive aggregate used is a netamorphic rock and sedimentary rock. The replacement proportions of portland cement by fly ash were respectively 0, 5, 10, 15, 25 and 35 percent. Expansion of mortar bars due to alkali-silica reaction decreased with the increase of fly ash content. The results show that the expansion due to alkali-silica reaction is dramatically reduced in the presence of high volume fly ash. When the fly ash content examine from all angles (strength and a flow), the replacement proportions of fly ash is about $25\%$ in order to control on expansion.

This study was performed to proof expansion effect of the mortar bar due to Alkali-silica Reaction (ASR) by ASTM C 1260 test. Recently, the failure case of cement concrete pavement by ASR was reported in Korea. Cement concrete structures are caused crack by ASR. The service life of cracked cement concrete structures by ASR will be shorted. In this study, crushed the slate rock producted Chungcheongnamdo Boryeong was caused 0.3% expansion at 14 days due to ASR by ASTM C 1260 test. The particular spectrum showed that the ASR gel was analyzed contents included Si, Na, K, and Ca by EDX (electron dispersive X-ray spectrometer). It was verified that the crushed aggregate was caused expansion by ASR in Korea.

Geopolymer was made using magnetic separation fly ash with NaOH(Sodium Hydroxide) and the water glass as alkali activators in this study. Compressive strength of geopolymers ceramics was measured and analyzed according to the type of materials. Under the conditions of fly ash without magnetic separation and 28 day curing after molding, the compressive strength of the geopolymer reached up to 28 MPa.

The paper presented investigates the effects of kaolinite on strength properties of alkali-activated multi-component cement. The binders of this study was blended of ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS), fly ash (FA), silica fume (SF) and kaolinite (KA). In this study, the specimens of combination of 20%~70% GGBFS, 10%~60% FA, 10% SF (constant ratio) and 10%~50% KA binder were used for strength properties tests. The water/binder ratio was 0.5. The binders (GGBFS + FA + SF + KA) was activated by sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and sodium silicate ($Na_2SiO_3$) was 10% by total binder weight (10% NaOH + 10% $Na_2SiO_3$). The research carried out is on the compressive strength, water absorption, ultrasonic pulse velocity (UPV) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The compressive strength decreased as the contents of KA increase. One of the major reason for this is the low reactivity of KA compared with other raw materials used as precursors such as GGBFS or FA. The presence of remaining KA indicates that the initially used quantity has not fully reacted during hydration. Moreover, the results have indicated that increased of KA contents decreased UPV under all experimental conditions. The drying shrinkage and water absorption increased as the content of KA increase. Test result clearly showed that the strength development of multi-component blended cement were significantly dependent on the content of KA and GGBFS.

Acidic properties of ZSM-5 zeolite catalysts were investigated by temperature-programmed desorption technique and ir spectroscopy. Ammonia t.p.d. pattern of HZSM-5 showed three different states, designated as ${\alpha}$,${\beta}$ and ${\gamma}$. The amount of ${\gamma}$-state decreased with increasing $SiO_2/Al_2O_3$ ratio, and upon cation-exchanging with alkali cations. From the ir adsorption spectra of absorbed pyridine and the reaction study of toluene alkylation, the ${\gamma}$-state could be explained to be due to the strong Bronsted acid sites of H-ZSM-5. Also they showed that the interaction between alkali cation-exchanged ZSM-5 and bases, i.e. $NH_3$ and pyridine, was increasing with decreasing the size of cations.

This study was designed, firstly, to determine the mineralogical and chemical characteristics of some rock aggregates, secondly, to offer interrelationships between those and mechanical properties, and thirdly, to evaluate their suitability for concrete aggregates. Mineralogical, chemical, physical and mechanical characteristics of the studied rock aggregates indicate that granite from BJ quarry and banded gneisses from KB. HI and SK quarry, and quartzite from the Hongcheon riverside are not proper to cement concrete aggregates because of quartz's potential possibility of alkali-silica reaction, and limestone in SY quarry is proper to asphalt concrete aggregates owing to dolomite causing alkali-carbonate reaction. Augen gneiss and diorite from KB and SA quarry, respectively, are to be not suitable for concrete aggregates because of biotite contents, but augen gneiss in HI quarry and gneisses in Hongcheon riverside are proper to concrete aggregates because of mineralogical and mechanical characteristics.

The Deogbong napseok clay deposit which is composed mainly of dickite and pyrophyllite has been formed by hydrothermal alteration of the Late Cretaceous volcanic rocks consisting of andesitic tuff and andesite. The mineralogy of the napseok ores and the hydrothermal alteration processes have been studied in order to know the nature of the interaction between minerals and fluids for the formation of the deposit. Chemical distribution shows that alkali elements and silica were mobile but alumina was relatively immobile during the hydrothermal processes. It is evident that enrichment of alumina and leaching of silica from the host rock led to the formation of the napseok ore, whereas the enrichment of silica in the outer zone of the deposit gave rise to the silica zone. A large amount of microcrystalline quartz closely associated with dickite and pyrophyllite suggests the increasing activity of silica. Thus Si which was released away from the argillic zone by the increasing activity of silica. Thus Si which was released away from the argillic zone by the increasing activity of silica solubility moved out precipitating in the margin of the deposit to form the silica zone. Variation in dickite crystallinity implies the local change in the stability of the system. Thermodynamic calculation shows that the invariant point of pyrophyllite-dickite (kaolinite)-diaspore-quartz assemblages at 500 bars in the system $Al_{2}O_{3}-SiO_{2}-H_{2}O$ is about 300 $^{\circ}C$. Based on the mineral assemblages and the experimental data reported, it is estimated that the main episode of hydrothermal alteration occurred at least above 270 to 300 $^{\circ}C$ and $X_{CO_2}$ <0.025. Mineral occurrence and chemical variation indicate that the activity of Al is high in the upper part of the deposit, whereas the activity of Si is high in the lower part and the margin of the deposit. The nonequilibrium phase relations observed in the Deogbong deposit might be due to local change in intensive thermodynamic variables and fluid transport properties that resulted in the formation of nonequilibrium phases b of several stages.

After observing the alkali-silica reaction of the mortar that contains glass abrasive sludge, when evaluating it by a mineral or chemical point of view, it contained reactive silica $(59{\sim}67%)$ and $R_20$ elements $(4.3{\sim}9.8%)$. Also, when evaluated by the mortar bar method, an addition of 5 wt% of CRT glass abrasive sludge is judged harmless. However when adding more, there appear severe contractions, thus carefulness is needed while using. Less than 0.10% of expansion was measured when adding up to 30wt% of flat glass abrasive sludge. However, after 30 days of the measurement, more than 0.1% rate of expansion was measured when adding more than 5 wt%. Therefore, more detailed experiments are needed in case of more than 5 wt%.

Most of the existing research on ferronickel slag has focused on its potential as aggregate and fine aggregate, this study was conducted focusing on the potential of ferronickel slag powder as a concrete admixture. For concrete, which fly ash, blast furnace slag, and FSP were mixed with each 10 % type the reactivity was evaluated by applying ASTM C 1260 of the United States. As a result, compared with the control group, the expansion rate of fly ash decreased by 8.43 % and that of fine blast furnace slag powder decreased by 14.46 %, while the expansion rate of ferronickel slag decreased by 49.40 %. it was confirmed that ferronickel slag can sufficiently be replaced existing supplementary cementitious admixtures such as fly ash and blast furnace slag in terms of suppressing the reactivity of aggregates. However as a result of SEM analysis, ettringites were generated, and additional research about how it affects concrete is needed.
