In order to investigate the effect of fineness on the properties of Portland cement, we prepared five kinds of portland cements with different Blaine values(2300, 2500, 3000, 3500, 45oo $\textrm{cm}^2$/g) and measured Ca(OH)2 analysis, hydration heat, the fluidity and the physical properties of them. According to the results, as the Blain value of cement is lower, the rate of hydration is delayed, and the hydration heat and the compressive strength are decreased. But the fluidity of cement paste is improved. Especially, the hydration heat of the cement with 2500$\textrm{cm}^2$/g of Blaine value is decreased about 15% compared with 3500 $\textrm{cm}^2$/g cement.

This experimental study is aimed to investigate the coating method of scoria lightweight aggregate for reo duction of water absorption and the physical dynamic characteristics of coated-scoria jightweight aggregate con¬crete. The coating methods are as follows: I) Non-coating method. II) Coating method of only cement paste. rn) Coating mehtod of surface-coating agent after coating by cement paste. IV) Coating method of only surfaee-coating agent. V) Coating method of cement pasted after coating by surface-coating agent. The summerized conclusion are as fallows ; 1) Specific gravity and the rate of water absorption were lowest when aggregate was covered by only surface-coating agent, especially, rate of absorption was about 10% of non-coating aggregate. 2) Coated-aggregate were about 0.87~0.97t/m3 and lightweight concrete made of coated-aggre¬gates were 1.80~ 1.94 t/m3 in unit weight. 3) Compressive strength of the lightweight concrete made of cement pasted-coating aggregate was about 200~215kg/crrl. 4) The higher the rate of water absorption of coarse aggregate, the higher the rate of deterioration of compressive strength.

The concrete pavement of the Seohae Highway in Korea has suffered from serious distress, only four to seven years after construction. Deterioration due to Alkali-Silica Reaction (ASR) has seldom been reported per se in Korea, because the aggregate used for the cement concrete has been considered safe against alkali-silica reaction so far. The purpose of this study is to examine the deterioration caused by an alkali-silica reaction of concrete pavement in Korea. The investigation methods included visual inspection and Automatic Road Analyzer (ARAN) analysis of surface cracks, coring for internal cracks, stereo microscopic analysis, scanning electronic microscope (SEM) analysis, and electron dispersive X-ray spectrometer (EDX) analysis. The results are presented as follows: the crack pattern of the concrete pavement in Korea was longitudinal cracking, map cracking or D-cracking. Local areas of damage were noticed four to five years after construction. The cracks started from edges or joints and spread out to slabs. The most intensive cracking was observed at the intersection of the transverse and longitudinal joints. Where cracking was the most intense, pieces of concrete and aggregate had spalled away from top surface and joint interface area. The progress of deterioration was very fast. The reaction product of alkali-silica gel was clearly identified by its generally colorless, white, or very pale yellow hue seen through a stereo optical microscopy. The typical locations of the reaction product were at the interface between aggregate and cement paste in a shape of a rim, within aggregate particles in the cracks, and in the large void in the cement paste. Most of the white products were found at interface or internal aggregates. SEM and EDX analysis confirmed that the white gel was a typical reaction product of ASR. The ASR gel in Korea mainly consisted of Silicate (Si) and Potassium (K) from the cement. The crack in the concrete pavement was caused by ASR. It seems that Korea is no longer safe from alkali-silica reaction.

In this study, the mechanical and micro-structural change of cement pastes incorporating Stainless-Steel Slag Argon Oxygen Decarburization Slag (STS-A) containing ${\gamma}-C_2S$ as a carbon capture materials were investigated with carbonation curing condition. ${\gamma}-C_2S$ is non-hydraulic, therefore does not react with water. But ${\gamma}-C_2S$ has a reactivity under carbonation curing condition with water. The reaction products fill up the pore in pastes. The microstructure of STS-A blended cement pastes could be densified by this reaction. The pore structure of cement pastes incorporating STS-A was measured using mercury intrusion porosimetry (MIP) after carbonation curing ($CO_2$ concentration is about 5%). Also the fractal characteristics were investigated for the effect of carbonation curing on the micro-structural change of paste specimens. From the results, the compressive strength of carbonated specimens incorporating STS-A increased and pore-structure of carbonated paste is more complicated.

Jeju Island is composed of irregular volcanic rock layers formed by several volcanic activities. Since structure such as the offshore wind turbine has to support considerably large over turning moment due to long distance from foundation to load point and relatively large horizontal load. Pile foundations are needed to economically support such structure even in the case of rock layer. Therefore, in this study, mechanical performances are estimated by mixing ratio of water, cement, and sand to figure out optimal mixing ration of filling material for pile penetrated to rocky layers, and outcomes of this study are compared and analyzed with results of other researches. In the same conditions, mechanical performances of the mortar (S/(S+C)=20~40%) are better than those of cement paste and soil cement. On the basis of major outcome of this study, appropriate range of mixing and a strengthening model are suggested.

To evaluate the bind rate and behavior of two types chloride ion-one is the chloride ion added in mixture when un-washed sea sand is used as fine aggregate, one is the chloride ion admitted in the new version of concrete standard specification, pore solution extracted in cement paste were analyzed. The results are follow. 1 As passing the time, the chloride concentration in the pore solution decreases with the Increase in the chloride content absorbed by the hydrate products. As compared with chloride contents in mixing water, the bound ratio of chloride at 49 days is 64∼90％. 2. The bound ratio of chloride in cement paste considering evaporable water as pore solution is obtained. In case of Pl∼P3(added chloride content wt of cement 0.046∼0.16 ％), the bound ratio of chloride is 91.8∼93.5 ％. P4(added chloride wt of cement 0.3％) is 89.1％, but P5(added chloride wt of cement 0.617％) bound is only 77％. 3. The bound ratio of chloride to wt of cement is 0.015∼0.475％ with adding chloride. In case chloride added over 0.091 ％ wt of cement, the bound chloride content increases 1.7∼1.8 times in spite of added chloride increase twice. The bound ratio of chloride to wt of cement decreased with the increase in the chloride content. 4. The more increase added chloride content, the more increase the bound ration of chloride. But the absolute value of chloride content in pore solution increased.

The possibility of reusing the paper sludge as a raw material of composition board mixed with cement was investigated. For the measurement of physical and mechanical properties, wood coment board and sludge combinend cement boards were fabricated with the three weigh ratios of paper sludge 10 % (SI), 20 % (S II) and 30 % (S III) to cement weight. For adding the cement hardning, $CaCl_2$ was also added to each mixed paste with the ratio of 1 %, 3 % and 5 % to cement weight, respectively. Crystal formation in paper sludge-, wood-cement composites was observed by scanning electron microscope. The results were summarized as follows. 1. Density and partial compressive strength of each specimens were relatively high in the order of sludge I, sludge II, Korean pine, Italian poplar and sludge III, sludge I, Korean pine, sludge II, Italian poplar and sludge III. 2. The mechanical properties of sludge-cement boards (S I and II) were higher than that of wood-cement boards prepared with Korean pine and Italian poplar. But the mechanical properties of wood-cement boards were improved by the adding of $CaCl_2$. 3. Water absorption and thickness swelling were increased with increase of sludge content to cement weight. 4. In SEM observation, sludge-cement composites showed sufficiently formed crystals but wood-cement composites showed poorly formed crystals.
