The synergistic interactions of supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) with ordinary portland cement (OPC) in multi-blended systems could enhance the mechanical and durability properties of concrete and increase the amount of cement that can be replaced. In this study, the characteristics of the hydration products as well as paste microstructure of blended cement containing 20% coal fly ash, 10% rice hull ash and 10% sugar mill lime sludge in quaternary blended system was investigated. Portlandite content, hydration products, compressive strength, pore size distribution and microstructural architecture of hydrated blended cement pastes were examined. The quaternary blended cement paste showed lower compressive strength, reduced amount of Portlandite phases, and higher porosity compared to plain hardened cement paste. The interaction of SCMs with OPC influenced the hydration products, resulting to the formation of ettringite and monocarboaluminate phases. The blended cement paste also showed extensive calcium silicate hydrates and calcium aluminate silicate hydrates but unrefined compared to plain cement paste. In overall, the expected synergistic reaction was significantly hindered due to the low quality of supplementary cementitious materials used. Hence, pre-treatments of SCMs must be considered to enhance their reactivity as good quality SCMs can become limited in the future.

This study relates to a production of Quaternary Cement Concrete (QCC) prepared by using Micro Silica (MS), Marble Dust (MD) and Rice Husk Ash (RHA), followed by an investigation towards fresh and hardened properties of blended concrete. A total of 39 mixes were cast by incorporating different percentages of MS (6%, 7% and 8%), MD (5%, 10% and 15%) and RHA (5%, 10%, 15% and 20%) as partial replacement of Ordinary Portland Cement. The workability of fresh concrete was maintained in the range of 100±25 mm by adding 0.7% of Super Plasticizer in the mix. Optimum mechanical strength was observed at combination of 8% MS+5% MD+10% RHA. Marble dust replacement from 10 to 15% and Rice husk ash replacements from 15 to 20% depicted a substantial reduction in compressive strength at all ages. Durability parameter with respect to water absorption at 28 days shows an increasing trend as the percentage of blending increases.

Recently, concrete using multicomponent blended cement has been required to increase the freeze-thaw and sulfate resistances of concrete structures exposed to a marine environment. Thus, the purpose of this study was to propose the use of concrete containing multicomponent blended cement as one of the alternatives for concrete structures exposed to a marine environment. For this purpose, batches of concrete containing ordinary portland cement (OPC), binary blended cement (OPC-G, G: ground granulated blast slag), ternary blended cement (OPC-GF, F: fly ash), and quaternary blended cement (OPC-GFM, M: mata-kaolin) were made using a water-binder ratio of 50%. Then, the durability levels, including thesulfate and freeze-thaw resistances, were estimated for concrete samples containing OPC, OPC-G, OPC-GF, and OPC-GFM. It was observed from the tests that the durability levels of the concrete samples containing OPC-G and OPC-GF were found to be much better than that of the concrete containing OPC. The optimum mixing proportions were a40% replacement ratio of ground granulated blast slag for the binary blended cement and a30% replacement ratio of ground granulated blast slag and 10% fly ash for the ternary blended cement.

본 논문에서는 탄소저감을 위한 산업부산물 사용 증대 및 시공성능 향상을 위하여 시멘트 사용량을 80% 이상 감소시킨 탄소저감형 4성분계 고유동 콘크리트를 제조하여 품질특성, 및 탄소저감 성능을 수행하였다. 탄소저감형 4성분계 고유동 콘크리트의 품질특성 평가를 수행한 결과 다량의 산업부산물을 혼합하여 시멘트 사용량을 80% 이상 감소시킨 배합에서 목표 성능을 만족하는 품질을 얻을 수 있었으며, 유동특성, 역학특성 및 내구특성의 경우 기존 기준 배합과 비교하여 다소 성능이 감소되는 경향이 나타났지만 소요 성능 수준 이상의 성능을 만족할 수 있는 것으로 판단된다. 또한, 탄소저감형 다성분계 고유동 콘크리트의 탄소저감 성능을 분석하기 위하여 콘크리트의 전 과정 평가를(LCA) 실시한 결과 기존 기준 배합과 비교하여 약 62.2%의 탄소저감 성능이 있는 것으로 나타났으며, 제조비용의 경우 약 24.5%의 원가 절감이 되는 것으로 나타났다.

In the era of building engineering the intensification of Self Compacting Concrete (SCC) is world-shattering magnetism. It has lot of rewards over ordinary concrete i.e., enrichment in production, cutback in manpower, brilliant retort to load and vibration along with improved durability. In the present study, the mechanical strength of CM-2 (SCC containing 10% of rice husk ash (RHA) as cement replacement and 600 grams of glass fibers per cubic meter) was investigated at various dosages of cement replacement by fly ash (FA) and GGBS. A total of 17 SCC mixtures including two control SCC mixtures (CM-1 and CM-2) were developed for investigating fresh and hardened properties in which, ten ternary cementitious blends of SCC by blending OPC+RHA+FA, OPC+RHA+GGBS and five quaternary cementitious blends (OPC+RHA+FA+GGBS) at different replacement dosages of FA and GGBS were developed with reference to CM-2. For constant water-cement ratio (0.42) and dosage of SP (2.5%), the addition of glass fibers (600 grams/m³) in CM-1 i.e., CM-2 shows lower workability but higher mechanical strength. While fly ash based ternary blends (OPC+RHA+FA) show better workability but lower mechanical strength as FA content increases in comparison to GGBS based ternary blends (OPC+RHA+GGBS) on increasing GGBS content. The pattern for mixtures appeared to exhibit higher workablity as that of the concentration of FA+GGBS rises in quaternary blends (OPC+RHA+FA+GGBS). A decrease in compressive strength at 7-days was noticed with an increase in the percentage of FA and GGBS as cement replacement in ternary and quaternary blended mixtures with respect to CM-2. The highest 28-days compressive strength (41.92 MPa) was observed for mix QM-3 and the lowest (33.18 MPa) for mix QM-5.

본 논문에서는 탄소저감을 위한 산업부산물 사용 증대 및 시공성능 향상을 위하여 시멘트 사용량을 80% 이상 감소시킨 탄소저감형 4성분계 고유동 콘크리트(QC-HFC)를 제조하여 품질특성 및 수화특성 평가를 수행하였다. QC-HFC의 품질은 목표 성능을 만족하는 결과를 얻을 수 있었으며, 유동 및 역학특성의 경우 기존에 적용되는 콘크리트와 유사한 수준인 것으로 나타났다. QC-HFC의 건조수축은 기존 배합과 비교하여 약 2배 이상, 수화열의 경우 약 36% 감소하는 것으로 결과가 나타났으며, 그 결과 수화열 저감 효과에 따른 온도응력 감소, 상대적으로 작은 내외부 온도차로 인한 변형 감소로 균열 발생량을 저감시킬 수 있을 것으로 판단된다. 또한 매스 구조물의 시뮬레이션을 실시한 결과 온도균열지수 1.1 이상으로 균열발생 확률이 약 35% 감소하는 결과가 나타남에 따라 온도에 의한 균열을 저감시킬 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
