Due to the economic growth and the improvement of life standards in the country, the quantities of waste glasses have been yearly increased. About 65% of them are recycled and the rest are reclaimed. The reclaimed waste glasses can cause some problems such as the environmental pollution as well as the processing cost of them. Thus, the purpose of this experimental research is to investigate the properties of mortar using powdered waste glasses(PWG) as a cementitious materials in mortar to recycle the reclaimed waste glasses For this purpose, the workability and strength of mortar specimens using PWG have been tested and analyzed in various grain size of them by changing the replacement ratio. As a result, considering the workability and strength of mortar specimens using PWG, it is concluded that the optimum grain size and replacement ratio of them will be existing.

This paper report the result of the investigation on the properties of drying shrinkage for alkali-activated slag mortar in different relative humidity Commonly we know that drying shrinkage means lost more moisture but the mechanism of drying shrinkage of alkali activated slag mortar is not entirely due to the quantity of weight loss of water from mortar. pore size distribution and the calcium silicate hydrate gel characteristics have a critical influence on the magnitude of drying shringkage to alkali activated slag mortar. For this investigation, Ca(OH)2, Na2SiO4 were as alkali activator with 5 dosages(6%, 9%, 12%, 15%, 20%) and curing condition were three different relative humidity(35%, 65%, 95%) at $20{\pm}3^{\circ}C$

Recently, the construction industry in South Korea, has experienced many difficulties in lack of supply with construction materials. Since waste shells can be possibly used as replacement materials of fine aggregate, the successful application can resolve, to some extent at least, the economic problems and environmental problems. In this research, the basic physical properties of the mortar which was used as fine aggregate substitute (clam, cockle, manila clam, oyster) were evaluated. According to the experimental results, the absorption rate and compressive strength of samples with various shells were equivalent to that of plain mortar. The mortar which replaced 25% of oyster shell with sand showed approximately 30% lower compressive strength and twice as much absorption as plain mortar. It was found that waste shells can be used as replacement materials of fine aggregate, but the oyster shell requires further experimental works in order for its successful application.

Present research is mainly focused on, microstructural and durability analysis of Graphene Oxide (GO) in Wollastonite (WO) induced cement mortar with silica fume. The study was conducted by evaluating the mechanical properties (compressive and flexural strength), durability properties (water absorption, sorptivity and sulphate resistance) and microstructural analysis by SEM. Cement mortar mix prepared by replacing 10% ordinary portland cement with SF was considered as the control mix. Wollastonite replacement level varied from 0 to 20% by weight of cement. The optimum replacement of wollastonite was found to be 15% and this was followed by four sets of mortar specimens with varying substitution levels of cementitious material with GO at dosage rates of 0.1%, 0.2%, 0.3% and 0.4% by weight. The results indicated that the addition of up to 15%WO and 0.3% GO improves the hydration process and increase the compressive strength and flexural strength of the mortar due to the pore volume reduction, thereby strengthening the mortar mix. The resistance to water penetration and sulphate attack of mortar mixes were generally improved with the dosage of GO in presence of 15% Wollastonite and 10% silica fume content in the mortar mix. Furthermore, FE-SEM test results showed that the WO influences the lattice framework of the cement hydration products increasing the bonding between silica fume particles and cement. The optimum mix containing 0.3% GO with 15% WO replacement exhibited extensive C-S-H formation along with a uniform densified structure indicating that calcium meta-silicate has filled the pores.

Properties of the mortar and the remitar admixed with waterproofer(CS) which was made from cement-sludge were compared with those of the other waterproofers (DA, DD and DH). 1. The CS waterproofer appeared to have a good waterproofness(compressive strength-79%, water absorption ratio-60%, waterpermeability ratio-70%)in cement mortar. 2. The CS waterproofer appeared to have an excellent watertightness(compressive strength-125% water absorption ratio-45%, water permeability ratio-60%) in remitar.

The propose of this study is to examine the mechanical properties of mortar using ground granulated blast-furnace(GGBF) slag. In this study, the mortar replaced by varying fineness and content of GGBF slag is investigated through the change of compressive strength, chemical resistance and weight loss. As the result, it has been found that GGBF slag increase somewhat higher flow value and compressive strength. In addition, the chemical resistance of motar using GGBF slag shows higher flow that of motar not containing GGBF slag.

This paper deals with the properties of water permeability and porosity of cement mortar substrate coated with siliceous slurry coating under the exposure environment. Conditions of exposure enviornment are four kinds of in constant temperature water and humidity box, in indoor and outdoor exposure. Coated mortar substrate was expected continually increase in water and humidity condition, but was not in dry condition. Watertightness effect of siliceous coating was better in the condition of humidity then the dry condition, and the pore volume was decreased in that condition.

This study was evaluated influence of fluidity properties according to basalt fiber and high volume fly ash in the mortar level, as part of a basic study for development of fiber reinforced concrete using basalt fiber and high volume fly ash. In the first step, it was evaluated that fluidity properties of mortar according to replacement ratio 6 level of fly ash(10, 20, 30, 40, 50 and 60mass%) and fluidity properties of mortar according to content 5 levels of SP(1.3, 1.5, 1.7, 1.9 and 2.1%) and content 5 levels of VA(0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8 and 1.0%) for dispersion of the basalt fiber, in the second step, it was evaluated that fluidity properties of mortar using High-volume fly ash (50mass%) on 3 levels of basalt fiber length (6, 20 and 30mm). Results of assessment, if after a fiber mixed, it showed that viscosity agent is more effective to improve the fluidity and fiber dispersion than superplasticizer, high volume fly ash (50%) applying the mixing, due to three properties of fly ash, showed that the improved fiber dispersibility and flow improvement.

50 year-old masonry buildings which had been constructed using lime mortar have caused lots of problems because of using different material, cement mortar, when they repair them. Also, there is little information on structural capacities and details of masonry buildings built using lime mortar. In addition, it is difficult to evaluate the structural capacities of the buildings which were often constructed by untrained labors. To preserve the original masonry construction, the study on their construction materials and methodologies has to be carried out. This paper provides basic information for establishing standard details of masonry works using lime mortar in order to overcome these problems when cultural properties are repaired or retrofitted. To do this, compression tests of lime mortar were preformed with the parameters of mixing ratios, mixing material, curing time and curing conditions etc. Based on the test results, the differences between lime mortar and cement mortar were specified and the structural characteristics of lime mortar were also presented in this paper.
