Mass concrete structures have many critical points in service. The cracks caused by the heat of hydration is the most serious problem, so that many method ot control cracks(precooling, postcooling, etc) have been applied to construction. But cooling methods take high cost and many installation and limits of field. Therefore it is useful to use the low heat hydration cements for low cost. This paper describes the characteristics of a low heat cement mixing the ternary components of cement(portland cement, blast furnace slag, fly ash) recently developed for mass concrete, belite cement, low heat slag cement(belite base) and fly ash cement (belite base). The objective of this paper is to study on low heat cement about initial compressive strength and hydration heat.

The hydration of cement contributes to the performance characteristics of concrete, such as strength and durability. In order to improve the utilization efficiency of cement and its early properties, the particle size distribution (PSD) of cement varies considerably, and the effects of the particle size distribution of cement on the hydration process should be considered. In order to evaluate effects of PSD separately, experiments testing the isothermal heat generated during the hydration of cements with different particle size distributions but the same chemical composition have been carried out. The measurable hydration depth for cement hydration was proposed and deduced based on the experimental results, and a PSD hydration model was developed in this paper for simulating the effects of particle size distribution on the hydration process of cement. First, a reference hydration rate was derived from the isothermal heat generated by the hydration of ordinary Portland cement. Then, the model was extended to take into account the effect of water-to-cement ratio, hereinafter which was referred to as PSD hydration model. Finally, the PSD hydration model was applied to simulate experiments measuring the isothermal heat generated by the hydration of cement with different particle size distributions at different water-to-cement ratios. This showed that the PSD hydration model had simulated the effects of particle size distribution and water-to-cement ratio on the hydration process of cement with satisfactory accuracy.

The aim of this work is to have a better knowledge of reactions that take place in a cement paste, blast furnace slag mixed cement paste and fly ash mixed cement paste and know about the change in chemical components exposed to elevated temperature. The results show that the dehydration reactions appeared differently in the each admixture mixed cement paste and can be used as tracers for determining the temperature history of concrete after a fire exposure.

Despite the increasing applicability of rock grouting as a method for strengthening or disaster prevention by improving the stability of ground, criteria for planning parameters which can be used as minimum guideline are required since the current practice is mainly dependent on experience. In this study, the fundamental criteria for important parameters of rock grouting in terms of injection conditions such as water-cement ratio, injecting pressure, cement take and resulting effects such as deformation modulus and permeability are proposed. Those criteria are the results of analyses of a series of hydraulic fracturing tests and Lugeon tests, in-situ grouting tests at 17 sites in Korea and other countries, combined with the literature analyses of standards and previous research. In addition, the method for modifying proposed criteria according to water-cement ratio is also addressed since that in Korean practice is too high and therefore, should be adjusted to satisfy the conditions of balanced stable grouting. The results of this study can be used as a fundamental reference for more refined research in the future although they are still somewhat experience-dependent.

Most defects in the cement concrete pavement take place mainly on the joints. These corner cracks don't happen as often as others relatively. it happens continuously. In order to analyze the structural behavior of the corner cracks, The finite element structural analysis was performed on the representative section of the cement concrete pavements using JSLAB which uses FEM analysis method. On plain cement concrete pavements, The result shows that loading not only on the joints but also on the center of slab brings out the maximum stress on the corner of slab and it is expected to make the corner cracks.

In recent years, accordance to industrial development project on railway investment, adverse environmental issues of the investment, such as disputed cases about recycling and usage of Ballast Cleaner excavated soil, have been continuously increasing. It will not only enhance the regulation of soil contamination but take considerable time and cost in future. In this study, we investigated soil contamination and burnability with soil of Chungang Line, Taebaek Line, Chungbuk Line, in order to seize a possibility of recycling Ballast Cleaner excavated soil for the natural materials and substantial heat sources, which are necessary resources for cement manufacturing process. As a result of this study, It is found that Ballast Cleaner excavated soil is satisfied with a standard. The excavated soil contains a lot of cement ingredients and fossil fuel dust incurred from freight transportation, so it is expected to use for ingredients of cement and replacement of heat sources.

High strength concretes utilizing EVA with micro particles were prepared by varying polymer/binder mass ratio and curing conditions with a constant water/binder mass ratio of 0.3. The EVA modified concretes on the compressive and flexural strength, microstructure, ultrapulse modulus in curing condition(dry and water curing) were studied. Also, scanning electron microscope analysis(SEM) was performed to reveal the presence of polymer film and cement hydrates in the concrete. The compressive strength of the EVA modified concretes cured at water conditions ere higher than that of the EVA modified concretes cured at dry conditions. But, the flexural strength of the specimens cured at dry conditions were higher than that of the specimens cured at water conditions. Due to the interaction of the cement hydrates and polymer film, an interpenetrating network originated in which the aggregates were embedded. The curing of the polymer modified concrete involves two step of cement hydrates and polymer modification, and cement hydrates was promoted in water conditions and polymer film formation take place when water evaporates and was thereby was favored in dry conditions. By SEM analysis, influences of polymer modification was strengthening of the transition zone between the aggregate and the paste, and the porosity of transition zone decreases. By spring analysis, it could known that polymer film affects in porosity decrease and strengthening of transition zone.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the transmission spectrum of the set calcium hydroxide dental cement (Dycal, L.D. Caulk Co. Milford, Del.) Cement was prepared for A T R spectra at a low powder-to-liquid ratio of 3.0gm/ml in order to retard the reaction and facilitate the manipulation of loading the cement into the cell. Spectra were recorded on an I R Spectrophotometer (MX-1, FT) at an agle of incidence of 55. The A T R cell was a RIIc Model TR5 with a hemisperical KRS-5 (Thallium-Bromide-Iodide). A spectrum was recorded within 3 minutes. Further spectra were recorded after 5,10,30 minutes and 1,5,24, 72 hours. The results were as follows; 1. The setting reaction between acid paste and base past would take place fastly within 10 minutes after mix, and that would be slow until 72 hours after mix. 2. In the set cements, some methyl salicylate and calcium hydroxide remained unreacted until 72 hours after mix. 3. The setting reaction and the reaction rate occuring at the surface and in the bulk cements were similar. 4. The chelates were bound together between calcium hydroxide and methyl salicylate.

Calcination, which represents thermal decomposition of $CaCO_3$, is the key reaction in a cement process. Some reactions including heating-up also take place simultaneously in the calcination reactors. Basic thermal performance and dimensions of the reactors in two cases, which are a rotary kiln wih a four-stage cyclone pre-heater and a simple single rotary kiln, were compared. To employ the heat transfer, mass transfer and reaction rate as well as calcination, one-dimensional modeling was conducted in each case. Some simplification about the reactors was described, however, the reliable Nusselt number and heat transfer coefficients on the reactors were used to make results reliable.
