This paper discusses a study of cement mortar reinforced with Graphene Oxide (GO) flakes carried out at the University of Plymouth. Over 60 specimens were prepared and tested to obtain the tensile, compressive and flexural strengths of cement mortar with/without 0.5% GO flakes by weight of cement. The dispersion of the GO flakes and the effect of the use of polycarboxylate ether superplasticizer (0.2% by weight of cement) on the material strength are discussed. Images of the particle sizes of GO are presented from the transmission electron microscopy analysis. In addition, the images from the field emission scanning electron microscope analysis are also presented to show the difference of the microscopic structure of cement mortar with/without GO. The results of the strength tests are presented. It is shown that the inclusion of the GO flakes in general led to positive results, which suggest that GO improved the tensile, compressive and flexural strengths of cement mortar.

The aim of this study is to explore the possibility of re-cycling a waste material that is now produced in large quantities, while achieving an improvement of the mechanical properties and durability of the mortar. This study examines the mechanical properties and the durability parameters of mortars incorporating plastics bag wastes (PBW) as fine aggregate by substitution of a variable percentage of sand (10, 20, 30 and 40 %). The influence of the PBW on the, compressive and flexural strength, drying shrinkage, fire resistance, sulfuric acid attack and chloride diffusion coefficient of the different mortars, has been investigated and analyzed in comparison to the control mortar. The results showed that the use of PBW enabled to reduce by 18-23 % the compressive strength of mortars containing 10 and 20 % of waste respectively, which remains always close to the reference mortar (made without waste). The replacement of sand by PBW in mortar slows down the penetration of chloride ions, improves the behavior of mortars in acidic medium and improves the sensitivity to cracking. The results of this investigation consolidate the idea of the use of PBW in the field of construction.

This study discusses the fundamental properties of cement mortar with the kinds and adding ratio of stabilizing agent of recycled water. According to the results, fluidity and air content hardly make difference by the kinds and adding ratio of stabilizing agent. When recycled water is used, setting time is shortened slightly in comparison with plain mortar because of an increase of fine particle. And it is similar to the use of recycled water in the case of A, Band D(stabilizing agent), but shortened significantly in the case of C. Also, it does not show difference with variation of the adding ratio, but as the adding ratio increases, it approach to the value of plain mortar. When recycled water is used, compressive strength is similar to plain concrete, and it shows the larger value in order of D, C and A. As the adding ratio of stabilizing agent increases, it decreases at 3days, but increases at 7 and 28days. However, at the adding ratio of 0.5%, it decreases, instead. Length change ratio by drying shrinkage increases in the case of B in comparison with plain mortar, but is similar to plain mortar in the other stabilizing agent. As the adding ratio of stabilizing agent increases, it decreases, however, increases at the adding ratio of 0.5%

본 논문에서는 발포폴리스티렌 비드 (EPB)와 폐 발포폴리스티렌 (WEP)의 대체율에 따른 경량 모르타르의 기초 특성을 평가였다. EPB 및 WEP를 이용한 경량 모르타르의 기초 특성으로서 단위용적중량, 압축 강도, 휨강도, 흡수율, 열전도율 및 폴리스티렌 (EPB 및 WEP) 분포를 분석하였다. 그 결과 경량 모르타르는 WEP의 대체율이 증가할수록 단위용적중량, 압축 강도, 휨강도, 흡수율 및 열전도율은 증가하고, 폴리스틸렌 면적 분포는 감소하였다.

재유화형 폴리머는 보수용 모르타르의 개질재료로 주로 사용되고 있으며, 이러한 보수용 폴리머 시멘트 모르타르에는 폴리머 이외에 각종 혼화재료가 첨가된다. 기존의 연구들은 시멘트-폴리머 비가 모르타르에 미치는 영향에 대하여 주로 이루어졌으며, 혼화재료가 폴리머 시멘트 모르타르에 미치는 영향은 보고 되어있지 않는 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 혼화재료들(CSA계 팽창재, CSA계 속경재, 석고, 실리카 흄)의 배합비율에 따라 폴리머 시멘트 모르타르에 미치는 영향을 분석하고자 모르타르의 작업성, 응결시간, 건조수축, 압축강도, 휨 및 부착강도 등의 기초적 성질에 대하여 실험적으로 구명하였다.

The Hwangtoh is one of the traditional construction material used in wall, plastering material, and ondol (Korean underfloor heating system) with stone and wood. It is an important greenness material and it has much advantages such as; high storage of heat, auto-purification, antibiotic ability, and emission of far infrared rays. But, it is not developed and not used in modern construction because of its low strength and properties of dry shrinkage crack. According to the recent researches and studies, it is evaluated for natural pozzolanic material like flyash or pozzolan. It's possibility on construction material is high because it's chemical and mineralogical proportion is like as Metakaolin and Kaolinite. In this point of view, this study aims to analyze the physical properties on Hwangtoh mortar through an experiment with various activation condition of Hwangtoh, which is natural pozzolanic material, for the purpose of increase the using possibility in construction material.

The purpose of this study is to investigation the fundamental properties of alkali activated slag of type and concentration of alkali activator. In this paper sodium silicate, sodium carbonate and sodium hydroxide were used as alkaline activator and their concentration were 1, 3, 5 and 7 $Na_2O$ weight percent. The physical properties of alkali activated blast furnace slag cement mortar (AAS) were investigated by flow test and compressive strength. And the hydration properties of AAS characterized by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscope. Result show that Alkali activated slag mortar strengths were continuously increased with adding amount and ages. C-S-H were formed to be the main products up to 28days of hydration.

The aim of this work is to study the effect of aggregate type on the physico-mechanical properties and microstructure of bio-mortar (BM). Three different aggregates such as sand, dolomite and basalt were used. BM was prepared by mixing aggregates with bacterial cells (Sporosarcina Pasteurii) and one equimolar (1 M) of $urea/CaCl_2.2H_2O$. The results proved that the chemical composition and physical properties of aggregates play an important role in the microbial precipitation rate as well as size, morphology and crystallinity of the precipitated calcite, which strongly reflects on the properties of the prepared BM. The BM containing dolomite gave the highest compressive strength and lowest water absorption.

In this study, effect of surface modification of waste glass for fine aggregates on the mechanical properties and alkali silica reaction of mortar was analyzed. As a result, it was confirmed that the incorporation of waste glass fine aggregate decreases the mechanical properties of the mortar and increase the alkali silica reaction expansion. On the other hand, the surface modification of the waste glass fine aggregate is effective in improving this problem. However, unlike green and brown waste glass, it is judged that an additional experiment to determine the cause is necessary for white waste glass where alkali silica reactive expansion occurs extremely.

모재콘크리트의 품질이 각기 다른 순환잔골재의 특성을 모르타르 시험에 의해 비교 고찰하였다. 모재콘크리트 강도가 클수록 밀도가 컸으며, 부착 시멘트페이스트의 공극량이 감소하므로 흡수율은 작게 나타났다. 순환잔골재를 사용한 모르타르의 압축강도 및 휨강도 특성은 신모르타르의 계면영역과 순환잔골재에 부착된 모르타르의 강도에 의해 지배적인 영향을 받으며, 모재콘크리트의 강도가 작을수록 다공성 재료가 되므로 강도발현이 작게 나타났다. 재령 180일에서 순환잔골재를 사용한 모르타르의 건조수축은 약 $1800{\sim}2000{\mu}m/m$ 정도로 천연잔골재를 사용한 모르타르보다 1.5배 정도 크게 나타났는데 이것은 순환잔골재에 부착된 모르타르가 다공성으로 흡수율이 크기 때문에 나타난 결과로 판단된다. 그러나 동결융해시험에서 순환잔골재를 사용한 모르타르의 내구성은 천연골재와 비슷한 수준으로 모재콘크리트의 강도에 의한 영향은 크지 않은 것으로 나타났다.
