Recently nano-materials are gaining more importance in the construction industry due to its enhanced energy efficiency, durability, economy, and sustainability. Nano-silica addition to cement based materials can control the degradation of the fundamental calcium-silicate-hydrate reaction of concrete caused by calcium leaching in water as well as block water penetration and therefore lead to improvements in durability. In this paper, the influence of synthesized nano silica from locally available rice husk on the mechanical properties and corrosion resistant properties of OPC (Ordinary Portland Cement) has been studied by conducting various experimental investigations. Micro structural properties have been assessed by conducting Scanning Electron Microscopy, Thermo gravimetry and Differential Thermal Analysis, X-Ray Diffraction analysis, and FTIR studies. The experimental results revealed that NS reacted with calcium hydroxide crystals in the cement paste and produces Calcium Silicate Hydrate gel which enhanced the strength and acts as a filler which filled the nano pores present in concrete. Hence the strength and corrosion resistant properties were enhanced than the control.

본 연구에서는 원전 콘크리트로부터 분리된 페이스트 미분말을 이용 방사성폐기물 처분용 고화재로 활용하기 위하여 기초 특성을 검토하고자 하였다. 실험 결과 수화반응한 페이스트는 시멘트보다 비중이 낮고 수화회복을 위한 소성과정에서 온도증가에 따라 비중이 다르게 나타나 그에 따른 부피도 고려되어야 할 것으로 판단된다. 수화회복을 위한 소성온도에서 압축강도가 가장 우수한 온도조건은 $600^{\circ}C$로 나타났으며, $700^{\circ}C$ 이상에서는 CaO의 생성량이 과도하여 높은 수화열, 유동성 저하 및 낮은 강도가 발현되는 것을 확인하였다. 따라서 본 연구 범위 내에서 고화재로 활용 가능한 적정 수화회복 온도는 $600^{\circ}C$로 판단되며 폐콘크리트 페이스트가 적정한 열처리를 거치는 경우 방사성 폐기물 고화재료로서 활용될 수 있는 가능성을 보였다는 점에 의의를 둔다.

The paper presents an experimental study of the structural behavior of circular flyash-concrete-filled steel tubular stub columns under axial compressive loads. In this study, 90% and 100% by weight of the cement in the concrete core was replaced with flyash. Twenty-seven specimens were tested to study the influence of flyash content, wall thickness of the steel tube, and curing age on the ultimate capacity and confinement effect. The experimental results were compared with the design values calculated using AISC-LRFD (1999), ACI (1999), AIJ (1997) and Eurocode 4 (1994). From the experimental study, it was determined that the confinement effect of circular steel tubes filled with high content flyash concrete was better than that of specimens filled with ordinary Portland cement concrete. The 5.88-mm-thick steel tube filled with 100% flyash concrete was equivalent in strength to a steel tube filled with C30 concrete at 28 days.

최근 건설 시공기술의 발달에 따라 고유동 고강도화된 고성능 콘크리트의 사용이 일반화되고 있는 추세이다. 이러한 고성능 콘크리트는 일반 콘크리트에 비해 혼화재 및 고성능AE감수제의 사용 등을 통해 요구 성능을 확보할 수 있으며, 기존의 경우 고성능 콘크리트의 품질 변동에 미치는 혼화재료의 영향에 대해 다양한 연구 결과는 보고되고 있다. 그러나, 콘크리트의 가장 중요한 원자재인 시멘트가 고유동 콘크리트 품질에 미치는 영향에 대한 연구 보고는 아직은 미흡한 실정이다. 따라서 시멘트 품질과 고유동 콘크리트의 유동 특성의 상관성을 검토하기 위해 국내 시판중인 시멘트 제품들을 대상으로 제품별 품질 특성을 명확히 구명하고, 시멘트 품질 특성이 고유동 콘크리트 제조시 유동 특성에 미치는 영향을 평가하였다. 연구 결과 분말도 및 시멘트의 초기 수화과정에 관여하는 화학조성, 간극상 등은 감수제의 사용량에 영향을 미치며, 특히, 분말도는 제조사별 품질 특성에 상관없이 매우 높은 상관성을 나타내고 있다. 강도발현특성에 있어서는 감수제 사용량의 변화는 초기 재령에 영향을 미치지만 장기재령에서는 거의 영향이 없는 것으로 나타났다.

Increasing emphasis on energy conservation and environmental protection has led to the investigation of the alternatives to customary building materials. Some of the significant goals behind understaking such investigations are to reduce the greenhouse gasemissions and minimize the energy required formaterial production.The usage of concrete around the world is second only to water. Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) is conventionally used as the primary binder to produce concrete. The cement production is a significant industrial activity in terms of its volume and contribution to greenhouse gas emission. Globally, the production of cement contributes at least 5 to 7 % of $CO_2$. Another major problem of the environment is to dispose off the fly ash, a hazardous waste material, which is produced by thermal power plant by combustion of coal in power generation processes. The geopolymer concrete aims at utilizing the maximum amount of fly ash and reduce $CO_2$ emission in atmosphere by avoiding use of cement to making concrete. This paper reports an experimental work conducted to investigate the effect of curing conditions on the compressive strength of geopolymer concrete prepared by using fly ash as base material and combination of sodium hydroxide and sodium silicate as alkaline activator.

본 연구의 목적은 황산염 침투를 받은 콘크리트의 염소이온 확산특성을 평가하는 것이다. 이를 위하여, OPC, 2성분계 및 3성분계 시멘트를 혼입한 3가지 형태의 콘크리트를 물-결합재비 32% 및 43%에 대해서 제작하였다. 제작한 콘크리트 시험체를 365일 동안 황산염 용액에 침지시킨 후 NT BUILD 492에 의해 염소이온 침투 저항성 시험을 수행하였다. 그 결과, 황산염 침투를 받은 콘크리트는 동일 재령의 표준양생 콘크리트보다 염소이온 침투 저항성이 크게 저하되는 것으로 나타났다.

Experiments were designed to investigate the flow behavior of portland cement paste and concrete incorporating superplasticizers. The paste and concrete mixtures were subjected to prolonged mixing for up to 110 min at high temperature. The yield stress values of concrete and that of the corresponding cement paste were measured using a rotating rheometer and viscometer, respectively. The results reveal a weak linear correlation between the yield stress of concrete mixtures and that of the corresponding cement pastes. Results also indicate that the yield stress of concrete varies in a linear fashion with the elapsed time, while its variations with the temperature and superplasticizer dosage follow power and inverse power functions, respectively. In this study, the genetic algorithms (GA) technique was used to predict the yield stress of concrete considering various parameters, such as the mixing time, ambient temperature, and superplasticizer dosage. A sensitivity study was conducted to evaluate the ability of the GA equations thus developed to capture the effects of test parameters on the yield stress of concrete. It was found that the GA equations were sensitive to the effects of test parameters and provided yield stress predictions that compared well with corresponding experimental data.

Tropical organic soils having more than 65% of organic matters are named "peat". This soil type is extremely soft, unconsolidated, and possesses low shear strength and stiffness. Different conventional and industrial binders (e.g., lime or Portland cement) are used widely for stabilisation of organic soils. However, due to many factors affecting the behaviour of these soils (e.g., high moisture content, fewer mineral particles, and acidic media), the efficiency of the conventional binders is low and/or cost-intensive. This research investigates the impact of different constituents of cement-sodium silicate grout system on the compressibility behaviour of organic soil, including settlement and void ratio. A microstructure analysis is also carried out on treated organic soil using Scanning Electron Micrographs (SEM), Energy Dispersive X-ray spectrometer (EDX), and X-ray Diffraction (XRD). The results indicate that the settlement and void ratio of treated organic soils decrease gradually with the increase of cement and kaolinite contents, as well as sodium silicate until an optimum value of 2.5% of the wet soil weight. The microstructure analysis also demonstrates that with the increase of cement, kaolinite and sodium silicate, the void ratio and porosity of treated soil particles decrease, leading to an increase in the soil density by the hydration, pozzolanic, and polymerisation processes. This research contributes an extra useful knowledge to the stabilisation of organic soils and upgrading such problematic soils closer to the non-problematic soils for geotechnical applications such as deep mixing.

This paper was peformed to verify the effect that granulated blast furnace slag gets in reinforcement corrosion resistance about chloride ion that invade from outside. An experiment accelerated for the reinforcement corrosion through repeat of brine digestion and dry. Reinforcement corrosion investigated half cell potential method of measurement by ASTM C876 and corrosion area ratio. If granulated blast furnace slag metathesis ratio is high generally that looked the corrosion of reinforcement decreasing as a result that evaluate reinforcement corrosion by ASTM C876 canon in this research. It showed high resistance about reinforcement corrosion that use normal portland cement and increase the metathesis rate of granulated blast furnace slag, as a result that evaluate metathesis rate effect of granulated blast furnace slag according to cement kind. when the test piece split destroying, area rate of reinforcement corrosion showed about result of half cell potential measurement.
