It has been reported that the magnitude and the development rate of autogenous shrinkage of cement paste, mortar and concrete were affected by history and magnitude of inner temperature at an early age. But it was not enough to explain the relation between hydration heat and autogenous shrinkage at an early age, because there was no certain analysis on histories of hydration heat and autogenous shrinkage in previous studies. In our prior study, to understand the relationship between hydration heat and autogenous shrinkage of concrete at an early age, the analysis method for histories of hydration heat and autogenous shrinkage was suggested. Based on this method, early age properties of hydration heat and autogenous shrinkage of high strength concrete with different sizes and hydration retardation were investigated in this study. As a result of the study, properties of hydration temperature and autogenous shrinkage were different according to specimen size and hydration retardation. However, there was a close relationship between hydration temperature and autogenous shrinkage at an early age, especially between HHV and ASV as linear slopes of the sections where hydration temperature and autogenous shrinkage increase rapidly; the higher HHV, the higher ASV and the greater ultimate autogenous shrinkage. And it was found that, among the setting time, bend point and temperature increasing point, they were close relationship each other on cement hydration process.

It is possible that aggregates add on to geopolymer based fly ash to mix mortar and concrete like cement. This is necessary to evaluate mineral composition, particle shape, surface, size distribution, density and absorption ratio for fine aggregates due to few detailed research to examine influence of fine aggregates properties on unhardened geopolymer concrete. In this research, used two different fine aggregates, Jumunjin sand(having quartz, mica, feldspar, pyroxene in mineral composition, more than 96% of total size between -0.60 and +0.30mm, angular shape and rough surface) and ISO sand(having almost all quartz in mineral composition, more than 51% size between -1.40 and +0.60mm, simultaneously varied size distribution, spherical shape and smooth surface). After an experimental result of the varied ratio of Si/Al=1.0-4.1 geopolymer paste, mix proportion respectively applied Si/Al=1.5 having the highest compressive strength to mortar and Si/Al=3.5 having the highest consistency to concrete. Geopolymer mortar by mixing with Jumunjin and ISO sand in varied range of 20-50wt.% showed flow size increase between 69.5 and 112.0mm, between 70.5 and 126.0mm respectively. Geopolymer concrete at an addition of 77wt.% of total aggregates ratio showed that average compressive strength was 32MPa and the consistency was favorable to molding. Since ISO sand observing varied size distribution, spherical shape, smooth surface, low absorption ratio resulted in advantageous properties on consistency of geopolymer, geopolymer concrete can be suitable for using the fine aggregates similar to ISO sand.

Recently, excellent thermal and electrical performance of cementitious composites by mixing nano materials are being studied. The purpose of this study is to research the heat generation and power consumption of rapid hardening nano-cementitious composites. The experiment was carried out after setting the rapid hardening cementitious material, curing day, and supply voltage as parameters. Rapid hardening nano-cementitious materials were classified into cement paste, mortar, and concrete The heat performance of all rapid hardening nano-cementitious composites in curing 1 day has increased over 10℃. The rapid hardening nano-cementitious composites can exhibit heat performance within 1 day. The heat performance of the rapid hardening nano-cementitious composites is maintained after 28 days.
