In this research the physical properties of polymer modified mortar containing pulverized FRP(Fiber-Reinforced Plastics) wastes fine powder as a part of fine aggregate were investigated. Styrene-butadiene rubber(SBR) latex, polyacrylic ester(PAE) emulsion and ethylene-vinyl acetate(EVA) emulsion were used as Polymer modifier. Polymer modified mortars containing FRP wastes fine powder were prepared with various FRP wastes fine powder replacement(5∼30 wt％) for fine aggregate and polymer-cement ratios(5∼20 wt％). The water-cement ratio, water absorption rates and hot water immersion test, compressive and flexural strengths of polymer modified mortars were tested and the results compared to those of ordinary portland cement mortar. As the results, compressive and flexural strengths of polymer modified mortar containing FRP wastes fine powder depend on the contents of FRP wastes fine powder, type and additional amounts of polymer modifier. Some of them showed higher compressive and flexural strengths than those of ordinary portland cement mortar. Especially, SBR-modified mortar showed the highest strengths properties among three types of polymer modifier. Also water absorption rates, compressive and flexural strengths of SBR-modified mortar were more superior than those of PAE or EVA-modified mortar. The optimum mix proportions of SBR-modified mortar was 20 wt％ of polymer-cement ratio and 20 wt％ of FRP wastes fine powder replacement. Otherwise heat cured polymer modified mortar accelerated the improvement of early compressive and flexural strengths.

A set of tests were accomplished in order to get better insight of the basic material properties of masonry made of normal concrete brick and different type of mortar compositions. Three different types of test were performed. Masonry unit and prism were tested by compressive strength test, Masonry wallets were tested by compressive strength test. Masonry wallets were tested in diagonally under tension. A significant influence of different mortar compositions on compression strength of masonry prism was observed, The tests have shown that for diagonal compression three different mode of failure were possible : tension crack along the loaded diagonal sliding along a mortar joint and combined sliding and diagonal crack according to the adhesive strength of a mortar.

This study is designed for analyzing the mechanical properties of cement mortar with kind of water, sludge content for the water, mixing proportion and open time of recycling water. And this study is aimed for presenting the reference data in practical use. For the results of this study, the flow properties of fresh mortar and the strength of compresive of hardened mortar is increased until the sludge content 4.5~6.0, but is decreased after the sludge content of that.

The flow properties of xoncrete depend on form of fine aggregate, the ratio of voides of fine aggregate and cement paste So, in this study, investigated for the improvement of rheology properties on mortar and paste replaced by Zeolite $\circled1$ The slump flow have to do with correlation on yielding value of mortar respectirely. $\circled2$The increase ratio of strength Mortar and paste 10% replaced by Zeolite was presented significently but the slump flow was decteased stiffly as the increase of plastic viscosity at the ratio of replacement over 10%

This study shows basic data for using as the structural lightweight aggregate. This will be the procedural method of recycling environmental close waste PET bottle lightweight aggregate(PBLA) that is rapidly increased the amount of production of waste PET bottle recently, the quality of developed PBLA and the fundamental properties by analyzing of mortar containing with PBLA. After experiment, the result shows the PBLA quality that have oven dry specific gravity of 1.39, unit volume weight of 844 kg/m$^3$ and absorption rate of 0% is satisfied with qualify regulation of lightweight aggregate. The flowability of mortar containing PBLA is increased maximum 16% with increasing mixing ratio of PBLA, however the compressive strength of mortar is decreased maximum 35% with increasing mixing ratio of PBLA.

This paper deals with the effects of silica fume content and polymer-binder ratio on the properties of ultrarapid-hardening polymer-modified mortar using silica fume and ethylene-vinyl acetate redispersible polymer powder instead of styrene-butadiene rubber latex to shorten the hardening time. The ultrarapid-hardening polymer-modified mortar was prepared with various silica fume contents and polymer-binder ratios, and tested flexural strength, compressive strength, water absorption, carbonation depth and chloride ion penetration depth. As results, the flexural, compressive and adhesion strengths of the ultrarapid-hardening polymer-modified mortar tended to increase as increasing polymer-binder ratio, and reached the maximums at 4 % of silica fume content. The water absorption, carbonation and chloride ion penetration resistance were improved according to silica fume content and polymer-binder ratio.

This paper examines degradation properties of alkali-activated alumino-silicate composite body by NAS solution exposed to high temperature. Activators include sodium hydroxides and sodium silicate solution. In the result of experiment, flexural and compressive strength of AAS base mortar exposed to high temperature ($400\~600^{\circ}C$) was higher than alumina cement base mortar. Particularly, In case of compressive strength, alumina cement base mortar was decreased by about $60\~70\%$. While, AAS base mortar exposed to high temperature ($400\~600^{\circ}C$) was higher than that curing by room temperature. The above results showed that AAS base inorganic binder has a good mechanical properties exposed to high temperature($400\~600$).

In this paper, it was to investigate different types of mortar properties using a chloride attack protection agent by evaluating mixing ratio of this particular agent, including 3% increments. The results showed that the compressive strength and chloride ion penetration resistance of mortar by using chloride attack protection agent were improved than non-added mortar.

In this study, six mortar mixes were tested in order to examine the significance and limitations of hydrophilic fiber in terms of its capacity to enhance the tensile resistance of Hwangtoh mortar. Lyocell, polyamide and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) fibers were selected for the main test parameters. The tensile capacity of mortars tested was evaluated based on the splitting tensile strength and the modulus of fracture, while their ductility was examined using the toughness indices specified in ASTM. Test results showed that the addition of lyocell and PVA fibers had little influence on the flow of the Hwangtoh mortars. To enhance the tensile capacity and toughness index of Hwangtoh mortar, it is proposed that fiber spacing above 0.0003 is required, regardless of the type of fiber.

This study investigates the fundamental properties of bast furnace-based mortar made with recycled fine aggregate. Results showed that increasing recycled fine aggregate accelerated setting time, proportionally increased the compressive and flexural strength of mortar specimens. However, it is concluded that for quality and cost effectiveness, the optimum content of this recycled fine aggregate in mortar was found to be 80%.
