Entering the 20th century since the industrial revolution, the cement has been widely used in the field of construction and civil engineering due to the remarkable development of construction industry. However, result from that development, each kind of industrial by-products and waste and the carbon dioxide generated in the process of cement production cause air pollution and environmental damage so earth is getting sick now slowly. Therefore, we have to recognize importance about this. It means that the time taking specific and long-term measures have come. In this research paper, as substitution of the cement generating environmental pollution, we investigate the hydration reaction of non-Sintered Cement mortar mixed with GBFS, active stimulant of alkaline and sulphate series by using SEM and XRD, mechanical and chemical properties according to the curing method. As a result of this experiment, NSC realized outstanding strength for water curing and steam curing. It means that it has a good possibility as substitution of cement. From now on, it can be used for structure satisfying specific standard. We expect to find a substitution of outstanding cement by progressing continuous research making the best use of pros and cons according to the curing method.

The industrial by-product market has increased at a geometric rate worldwide with the rapid economic growth. At present time, conventional disposal methods of industrial by-products in Korea including landfill, incineration and storage already have reached their limits. In this study, the industrial by-products such as fly ash and silicafume were used as mineral admixtures, which are commonly added to concrete mix to inhance the economic efficiency, long-term strength and durability of concrete, to determine the optimized mix proportion of high performance shotcrete. Through the series of tests (compressive strength test, accelerated chloride ion penetration test, measurement of chloride diffusion coefficient). The results of the study showed that the proposed mix proportions satisfied the requirements of domestic as well as international guidelines for shotcrete, with a higher durability than the existing shotcrete.

Recently, Deterioration of the concrete sewer concrete structures by biochemical corrosion has been issued and a development of the inhibition system of corrosion that has been demanded. The sulfuric acid may react with the hardened cement paste and originate expansive products which can induce swelling and breakless of concrete. Also, a sulphuric acid reacts with calcium hydroxide to from $CaSO_4\;\cdot\;2H_2O$. This reaction accounts for consumption of the calcium hydroxide present in hardened cement paste. In this study, To present from biochemical corrosion of the sewer repair mortar that was spread with liquefied antibiotic and then its experimental properties were experimentally investigated and to estimate the effect of absorbed condition of restorative mortar, the number of coating times and coating contents with antibiotic on the durability properties of restorative mortar spread with antibiotics. Also, testing items such as carbonation depth, choloride ion penetration depth and chemical resistance was tested to estimate the durability properties in third study. In results, the novellus bacillus inhabiting in sewer concrete structures was restrained by antibiotics developed in this study. And carbonation depth, choloride ion penetration depth and chemical resistance of restorative mortar spread with antibiotics was superior to that of plain mortar.

In this study, the high qualify recycled fine aggregate manufacturing system by the drying specific gravity separation method was evaluated. For the evaluation of the performance of the recycled aggregate, the engineering properties and durability of recycled aggregate has been tested. From the test results, the quality of recycled fing aggregates was improved by high quality recycled fine aggregate manufacturing system and satisfied with the quality standards of KS and JASS 5. Also, compressive and tensile strengths of recycled concrete show no critical difference caused by recycled fine aggregate replacement ratio. However, durability such as carbonation depth chloride ion penetration depth and drying shrinkage shows more deterioration than the concrete without recycled fine aggregate

The concrete cracking from the restrained stress caused by the shrinkage may play significant cause of deterioration of concrete structures by allowing the permeation of sulphate and chloride ions which in turn triggers corrosion of steel reinforcement. In particular, the cracking becomes more critical as water binder ratio (W/B) is reduced and concrete strength increases. Therefore, it needs to evaluate correctly the comprehensive shrinkage behavior of concrete with high strength: high-strength concrete (HSC), ultra-highstrength concrete (UHSC). The unrestrained shrinkage tests, however, cannot estimate the net shrinkage effectively which affects cracking after full development of strength and stiffness because it does not consider the degree of restraint, strength development, stress relaxation, and so on. Therefore, in this study, both free and restrained shrinkage tests with variables of W/B (W/B of 30, 25 and 16%) and admixtures (fly ash (FA) and granulated blast-furnace slag (BFS)) for HSC, very-high-strength concrete (VHSC) and UHSC were performed. The test results indicated that the autogenous shrinkage and total shrinkage at drying condition were reduced as W/B increased and FA, BFS were added, and the cracking behavior was suppressed as W/B increased and FA was added.
