The production of geopolymer is considered as a cleaner process due to much lower CO₂ emission than that from the production of Portland cement. This paper presents a study of the potential use of recycled steel fibre (RSF) coming from the recycling process of the old tires in geopolymer mortars. Ground expanded perlite (EP) is used as a source of alumino-silicate and sodium hydroxide (NaOH=5, 10, 15, and 20M) is used as alkaline medium for geopolymer synthesis. RSFs were added to the mortar mixtures in four different volume fractions (0, 0.5, 1.0, and 1.5% of the total volume of mortar). The unit weight, ultrasound pulse velocity, flexural and compressive strength of expanded perlite based geopolymer mortar (EPGM) mixtures were determined. The microstructures of selected EPGMs were examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) analyses. The optimum molarity of sodium hydroxide solution was found to be 15M for geopolymer synthesis by EP. The test results revealed that RSFs can be successfully used for fibre-reinforced geopolymer production.

In order to improve the performance of concrete, generally, modern cements often incorporate several mineral admixtures. In this study, the experimental included the flow value, air content of mortar containing limestone powder and length change and compressive strength of mortar specimen immersed in sulfate solutions. From the experimental results, the limestone powder cement matrices improved the physical properties and sulfate resistance of cement matrices at $10\%$ replacement ratio of limestone powder. The $30\%$ replacement ratio of limestone powder was significantly deteriorated in sodium sulfate solution. Irrespective of fineness levels of limestone powder, length change and SDF of mortar specimens with only $10\%$ replacement was much superior to the other replacements.

건물의 건설 및 운영에 있어서 에너지 효율성을 증가시키는 것은 현재 매우 중요한 이슈이다. 에너지 효율은 기본적으로 열전도율이 낮은 재료를 이용할 때 이루어질 수 있으며, 이를 위한 가장 좋은 방법은 재료 내부의 공극률을 상승시키는 것이다. 일반적으로 시멘트 복합체에 공극률을 상승시키기 위한 방법에는 발포제, 기포제 및 알루미늄 가루와 같은 반응성 분말을 활용하는 것인데 본 연구에서는 이들에 대한 대안으로 과산화수소를 이용하고자 하였다. 과산화수소 혼입 시멘트 모르타르를 제작하고 이의 부피 팽창, 단위용적중량, 압축강도 및 열전도율을 측정하였다. 실험 결과에 따르면 과산화수소의 혼입률이 증가할수록 공극률은 증가하고 이로 인해 압축강도 및 열전도율이 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 과산화수소를 이용하여 경량기포 모르타르의 제작이 충분히 가능한 것으로 파악되었다.

This paper presents an experimental study exploring impact resistant properties of Kagome truss reinforced composite panels. Three types of panels with different materials and reinforcements, i.e., ultra-high-performance mortar, steel fiber, and Kagome truss, were designed and manufactured. High-velocity projectile impact tests were performed to investigate the impact response of panels with dimensions of 200 mm×200 mm×40 mm. The projectile used in the testing was a steel slug with a hemispherical front; the impact energy was 1 557 J. Test results showed that the Kagome truss reinforcement was effective at improving the impact resistance of panels in terms of failure patterns, damaged area, and mass loss. Synergy effects of a combination of Kagome truss and fiber reinforcements for the improvement of impact resistance capacity of ultra-high-performance mortar were also observed.

최근 산업부산물의 재활용과 지구온난화와 같은 환경오염 문제 해결방안으로 알칼리 활성 슬래그(AAS) 콘크리트에 관한 많은 연구가 이루어지고 있다. AAS 콘크리트는 고강도 발현이 가능하며 내구성 또한 우수한 것으로 알려져 있다. 그러나 빠른 알칼리반응으로 인하여 매우 큰 수축이 발생함에도 불구하고 고강도 AAS 콘크리트의 자기수축 거동에 대한 연구는 매우 부족한 실정이다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 물-결합재비가 0.40, 0.45, 0.50이고 알칼리 활성화제 첨가량이 $Na_2O$=5, 6, 7%인 AAS 모르타르 배합을 실시하여 굳지 않은 모르타르 특성(플로우, 응결시간)과 압축강도, 자기수축을 측정하였다. 실험 결과, 일반 콘크리트에 비해 매우 큰 자기수축이 발생하였고 W/B가 낮고 알칼리 활성화제 첨가량이 많을수록 자기 수축량이 증가하는 것을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 고강도 알칼리 활성 슬래그 콘크리트의 자기 수축을 줄이기 위해서는 수축 저감제의 사용 및 적절한 양생이 필요하다고 판단된다.

Many materials including cementitious concrete-type materials undergo material property changes during high-rate loading. There is a wealth of research regarding this phenomenon for concrete in compression and tension. However, there is minimal knowledge about how mortar material used in concrete masonry unit (CMU) construction behaves in high-rate shear loading. A series of experiments was conducted to examine the bond strength of mortar bonded to CMU units under high-rate shear loading. A novel experimental setup using a shock tube and dynamic ram were used to load specially constructed shear triplets in a double lap shear configuration with no pre-compression. The Finite Element Method was leveraged in conjunction with data from the experimental investigation to establish if the shear bond between concrete masonry units and mortar exhibits any rate dependency. An increase in shear bond strength was observed when loaded at a high strain rate. This data indicates that the CMU-mortar bond exhibits a rate dependent strength change and illustrates the need for further study of the CMU-mortar interface characteristics at high strain rates.

Recently in Korea, some studies on concrete that mass quantity of additives are substituted in order to respond to the government's Low Carbon Green Growth Policy are being conducted. As on of additives, FA as an industrial by-product is used in a large quantity. However, In some of the domestic FA refineries, since some quantity of concrete without passing through the refining process is released for sales for the reasons of the shortening of production time and the cost reduction, etc., it exerts a bad influence on the quality of concrete. Therefore, in this study, there was implemented an experiment on the effects of using an extreme quality of FA which is available for distributing domestically on the engineering characteristics of lean mortar. As a result, it was found that the quality of FA exerts its effect on the compression strength bigger than the flow property or the air volume.

The rapid development of the construction industry in the world causes a rapid increase in the consumption of aggregate resources, which leads to the depletion of existing aggregate reserves. The use of recycled aggregate in the production of concrete and mortar may be a good solution to reduce the use of natural raw materials and to reduce demolition waste in the environment. In this study investigating the use of recycled aggregate in mortar production, mortar mixtures were produced by substituting 0%, 25%, 50% and 100% fine recycled aggregate (FRA) instead of natural aggregate. The effect of 20% and 40% fly ash (FA) substitutes on cement mortar performance was also investigated. Compressive and flexural strength, drying shrinkage, abrasion resistance, water absorption and capillary water absorption were investigated on the produced mortars. The increase in the use of FRA reduced the compressive and flexural strengths of mortars. While the capillarity coefficients, water absorption, rapid chloride permeability and drying shrinkage of the mortars increased with the increase in the use of FRA, the effect of the use of fly ash on the rate of increase remained lower. The increased use of FRA has improved abrasion resistance as well.

Nano particles have been gaining increasing attention and applied in many fields to fabricate new materials with novel functions due to their unique physical and chemical properties. In the present study two nano materials, namely nano silica (NS) and nano clay metakaolin (NMK) were partially replaced with ordinary Portland cement (OPC). The replacement level was varied from 0.5 to 2.0% in OPC and blended in cement mortar with a water cement ratio of 0.40. Mechanical property studies and durability experiments such as compressive strength, tensile strength, water absorption, depth of chloride penetration test. Nano silica was synthesized from rice husk ash and analyze the size using particle size analyzer. The results indicate that the compressive and tensile strength of the cement mortars containing nano materials were higher strength compared to the plain mortar with the same water cement ratio.

본 연구에서는 잔골재의 일부 대체재로 석분슬러지의 활용가능성을 살펴보기 위해서, 석분슬러지 활용 시멘트 모르타르에서 석분슬러지 치환율 변화에 따른 굳지 않은 상태 물성과 강도 변화 실험을 수행하였다. 치환율은 0, 10, 20, 30%를 고려하였으며, 굳지 않은 상태 물성으로는 슬럼프, 공기량, 레올로지 특성을 평가하였으며, 강도는 압축강도 및 휨인장강도를 평가하였다. 그 결과, 슬럼프 및 공기량은 석분슬러지 치환율이 증가함에 따라 감소하는 것으로 나타났으며, 레올로지 특성에서는 치환율 20%까지는 항복응력 및 소성점도 모두 증가하는 것으로 나타났지만, 치환율 30%에서는 20%와 큰 차이가 나지 않았다. 항복응력의 경우 10%에서 20% 사이에서 증가율이 크게 나타났다. 압축강도 및 휨인장강도 결과에서는 석분슬러지 치환율에 따른 강도변화는 크게 나타나지 않았지만, 석분슬러지를 혼입할 경우 초기재령에서는 강도증진 효과가 명확히 나타났으며 28일 재령에서는 석분슬러지를 사용하지 않은 경우와 큰 차이가 없는 것으로 나타났다.
