In this study, the effects of ground granulated blast furnace slag(GGBFS) and expansive additive(EA) on early strength mortar were examined for the purpose of reducing carbon and improving cement performance. As a result, ealry strength Portland cement(EPC) tended to decrease in flow compared to ordinary Portland cement(OPC), but binder with EPC and GGBFS was possible to obtain higher liquidity than OPC. EPC showed higher compressive strength and shrinkage than OPC. The compressive strength of specimen with EPC and GGBFS was reduced proportionally to the replacement ratio of GGBFS. The replacement ratio of GGBFS above the compressive strength equivalent to OPC was higher under low temperature conditions. The use of GGBFS resulted in high shrinkage compared to OPC, and this characteristic was even greater under low temperature conditions. The shrinkage of specimen with EA was decreased in early ages, but was higher than the OPC in long-term ages.

Slag and ash generally have a higher powder degree than portland cement, so workability may deteriorate under the same unit quantity condition, and strength and durability decrease when the unit quantity is increased. At this time, if an aggregate having a low water absorption and an appropriate particle size is used to recover the loss of strength, it can contribute to reducing the unit quantity of the binder. Therefore, for the purpose of improving the workability and strength of non-sintered cement mortar using slag and ash, ferro nikel slag whose particle size was adjusted was used as an aggregate and its applicability was identified. In this experimental condition, it was confirmed that non-sintered cement mortar tends to improve workability and secure strength when ferro nikel slag having various particle size distributions is used as an aggregate. This can be analyzed as the effect of ferro nikel slag material properties including glassy properties and mixing conditions with a wide particle size distribution.

The purpose of this study evaluates possibilities of waste phosphogypsum into concerts by steam curing admixture. The waste phosphogypsum is made use of 4 forms(Dehydrate, $\beta$-Hemihydrate, III-Anhydrite and II-Anhydrite) which were changed to in low temperature of calcination. The penetration depth and compressive strength of cement mortar are investigated to evaluate the chloride ion and carbonation resistance. As a result, chloride ion and carbonation resistance of cement mortar admixed with waste phosphogypsum are more excellent than cement mortar contained OPC alone. The internal pores of cement mortar are decreased by using waste phosphogypsum, because the hydrates of ettringite which is denesified in structure is much formed in early ages at steam curing. These densified effect is concluded with improving the resistance to attack of cement mortar including waste phospogypsum.

Polyethylene-terephthalate (PET) from bottle waste and linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) from barrels and tanks waste are widely available and need to be recycled. Recycling them in concrete and mortar is an alternative solution for their disposal. In this study various quantities of sand (5%, 10%, 15% and 20%) were substituted by powder from LLDPE waste. In addition, PET waste fibers (corrugated, straight) were added to the mortar with different percentages (0.5%, 1%, 1.5% and 2%) of cement mass. This paper evaluate the mechanical and physical properties of the composites in fresh (workability, air content and density) and hardened state (compressive and flexural strength, water absorption and total shrinkage). From the experimental results, it can be concluded that the strengthening in tensile of the mortar with plastic waste corrugated fibers is improved. Other important results are that the water absorption and the density rate are less than that of the ordinary mortar.

This study analyzed flowing and strength properties of mortar depending to fine aggregate types and replacement ratio by using blast furnace slag, red mud, and silica fume that are industrial by products. The findings showed that higher replacement level of fine aggregate increased air content while decreased table flow. In addition, compressive strength showed that the higher replacement level was regardless of fine aggregate types, the lower strength became. Mortar substituted by the dredged sand showed high strength.

The properties of Low-heat cement are especially in lower heat of hydration than that of other types of cement. In other respect, Low-heat concrete is more advantageous than OPC concrete in chemical resistance, long term age compressive strength, slump loss and resistance to seawater. This paper deals with 28 days age compressive strength and slump loss by elapsed time of mortar and concrete that made with Low-heat cement and 3 types of other cement.

The present study evaluated experimentally the effects of the type and content of plastic fine aggregates on cement mortar in order to utilize waste platics as raw materials of concrete. The two kinds of plastics, LLDPE and HDPE were used, and the mixing rate of plastic fine aggregates was increased 0, 25, 50, 75, 100%. The mortar of LLDPE fine aggregate and HDPE fine aggregate showed similar tendency in flow and material separation resistance, density and water absorption, compressive strength and flexural strength by age. The flowability of mortar mixed with plastic fine aggregates was increased up to 50% but decreased at 75% or more. The material separation resistance of mortar with plastic fine aggregates was also dramatically decreased. On the other hand, due to the low density of plastics, the density of mortar decreased with the mixing of plastic fine aggregates. Due to the low adhesion between plastic fine aggregates and cement, the compressive strength by age was decreased in proportion to the mixing ratio of plastic aggregate, but the flexural strength of each age decreased with maintaining a certain level at 50% or more of plastic fine aggregate content.

In this paper applicabilities of coolant wastes are an admixture, which are produced from cooling line of the cars and industrial engines, to concrete under cold climate are investigated. According to the test results, as the contents f coolant wastes increase, setting time of cement mortar is shown to be delayed. However, when coolants wastes are overadded, it appears to be fast. In case of compressive strength, It tends to decline as the contents of coolant waste increase. Under low curing temperature, compressive strength of cement mortar containing coolant wasted with the increase of the contents of coolants wastes.

The purpose of this study was to use daily waste incinerated ash, which was reclaimed worthlessly, as substitutes of fine aggregates in concrete. Various kinds of admixture was utilized to strengthen the cement mortar mixed with waste incinerated ash, and altered the curing condition to diminish the rate of expansion. By the results of this experiment, it was possible to produce the lightweight concrete, charactered with the gravity below 1.5 and over 160kg/$\textrm{cm}^2$ compressive strength by replacing all fine aggregates with waste incinerated ash. It was also observed that the low temperature curing condition, lessoned gas exhausts, was effective to increase the strength of cement mortar.

In the construction industry, due to the cost rise of raw material for concrete, we have looked into recycling by-products which came from foundry. When using the Ground Granulated Blast-Furnace Slag(SG), it is good for enhancing the qualities of concrete such as reducing hydration heat, increasing fluidity, long-term strength and durability, but it has some problems : construction time is increased or the rotation rate of form is decreased due to low development of early strength. In this study, therefore, to enhance the early strength of SG mortar, we used some alkali activators(KOH, NaOH, $Na_2CO_3$, $Na_2SO_4$, water glass, $Ca(OH)_2$, alum. This paper deals with reacted products, setting time, heat evolution rate, flow and the strength development of SG cement mortar activated by alkali activators. From the results, if alkali activators were selected and added properly, SG is good for using as the materials of mortar and concrete.
