This paper investigates the effect of recycled glass powder (RGP) on flowing properties of self-compacting mortars (SCMs) containing different ratios of fillers and superplasticizer dosages. Fly ash (FA), nano-silica (NS), micro-silica (MS), metakaolin (MK) and rice husk ash (RHA) are used as fillers and their synergistic effect with RFP is studied. The effects of fillers and high-range water reducer (HRWR) on flowing ability of mortars are primarily determined by slump flow and V-funnel flow time tests. The results showed that for composites with a higher RGP content, the mortar flowing ability increased but tended to decrease when the composites containing 10% MK or 5% RHA. However, the flowing ability of samples incorporating 5% RGP and 10% SF or 25% FA showed an opposite result that their slump flow spread decreased and then increased with increasing RGP content. For specimens with 3% NS, the influence of RGP content on flowing properties was not significant. Except RHA and MS, the fillers studied in this paper could reduce the dosage of HRWR required for achieving the same followability. Also, the mixture parameters were determined and indicated that the flowability of mixtures was also affected by the content of sand and specific surface area of cement materials. It is believed that excess fine particles provided ball-bearing effect, which could facilitate the movement of coarse particles and alleviate the interlocking action among particles. Also, it can be concluded that using fillers in conjunction with RGP as cementitious materials can reduce the material costs of SCM significantly.

In this study, deep learning and k-Nearest Neighbor (kNN) models were used to estimate the sorptivity and freeze-thaw resistance of self-compacting mortars (SCMs) having binary and ternary blends of mineral admixtures. Twenty-five environment-friendly SCMs were designed as binary and ternary blends of fly ash (FA) and silica fume (SF) except for control mixture with only Portland cement (PC). The capillary water absorption and freeze-thaw resistance tests were conducted for 91 days. It was found that the use of SF with FA as ternary blends reduced sorptivity coefficient values compared to the use of FA as binary blends while the presence of FA with SF improved freeze-thaw resistance of SCMs with ternary blends. The input variables used the models for the estimation of sorptivity were defined as PC content, SF content, FA content, sand content, HRWRA, water/cementitious materials (W/C) and freeze-thaw cycles. The input variables used the models for the estimation of sorptivity were selected as PC content, SF content, FA content, sand content, HRWRA, W/C and predefined intervals of the sample in water. The deep learning and k-NN models estimated the durability factor of SCM with 94.43% and 92.55% accuracy and the sorptivity of SCM was estimated with 97.87% and 86.14% accuracy, respectively. This study found that deep learning model estimated the sorptivity and durability factor of SCMs having binary and ternary blends of mineral admixtures higher accuracy than k-NN model.

The present research work is on the effect of sawdust ash (SDA) on the mechanical strengths of self compacting concrete (SCC) using naphthalene sulfonate (NS) as a plasticizer. Experiments on compressive, flexural and splitting tensile strengths are conducted and the data analyzed using the Minitab 15 software. The results showed that SDA can defer the reaction of cement hydration and prolong the setting times of cement paste. This was very much pronounced on the flexural and splitting tensile strengths at 90 days of curing which are 36 % and 33 % higher than the control strengths, respectively. The study has proposed strength relations of mortar compressive strength with the flexural and splitting tensile strengths and these are, 5 and 7 times respectively. The flexural strength is 1.5 times that of the splitting tensile. Finally, linear models were developed on these relationships.

This paper investigated the influence of binary and ternary blends of mineral admixtures in self-compacted mortar (SCM) on the fresh, mechanical and durability properties. For this purpose, 25 mortar mixtures were prepared having a total binder content of $640kg/cm^3$ and water/binder ratio between 0.41 and 0.50. All the mixtures consisted of Portland cement (PC), fly ash (FA) and silica fume (SF) as binary and ternary blends and air-entrained admixture wasn't used while control mixture contained only PC. The compressive and tensile strength tests were conducted for 28 and 91 days as well as slump-flow and V-funnel time tests whilst freeze-thaw (F-T) resistance and capillary water absorption tests were made for 91-day. Finally, in general, the use of SF with FA as ternary blends improved the tensile strength of mortars at 28- and 91-day while the use of SF15 with FA increased the compressive strength of the mortars compared to binary blends of FA. SCM mixtures with ternary blends had lower the sorptivity values than that of the mortars with binary blends of FA and the control mixture due to the beneficial properties of SF while the use of FA with SF as ternary blends induced the F-T resistance enhancement.

최근, 하천에서 얻을 수 있는 자연모래의 부족과 환경 보호에 대한 요구 등으로 인해 잔골재로써의 부순 모래가 콘크리트 산업에서 사용이 증가되고 있다. 골재는 자기충전 모르타르(SCM)를 포함한 자기 충전 콘크리트(SCC)의 특성에 큰 영향을 준다. 잔골재로 부순 모래를 사용한 SCC와 SCM의 유동적 특성을 자연 모래를 사용한 것과 두 가지를 섞은 모래를 사용한 SCC와 SCM과 비교 하였다. 실험결과는 50% 섞인 모래가 포함된 SCM의 yield stress가 SP 함유량에 따른 자연 모래와 부순 모래보다 높다는 것을 보여준다. 자연모래 SCC의 슬럼프 값은 부순 모래의 SCC보다 거의 5-15% 높다. 또한 같은 물/시 멘트비와 증점제에서 자연모래 SCC의 L-box test 값은 부순 모래 SCC보다 거의 20-30% 높다.

본 연구는 폐콘크리트를 파쇄하여 고품질 재생골재로 제조시 발생되는 폐콘크리트 분말(WCP)을 자기충전 콘크리트(SCC)용 혼화재료로 활용하기 위하여 분말도가 928 및 $1,360cm^2/g$인 2종류의 폐콘크리트 분말(WCP)을 혼합한 시멘트 페이스트, 모르타르 및 콘크리트의 특성들을 분석하였다. 실험결과 폐콘크리트 분말은 각진 형태의 다공성 재료로 자기충전 콘크리트(SCC)용 혼화재료로 활용할 경우 유동성 및 점성은 혼합률이 증가함에 따라 비례적으로 감소하였으며, 자기충전 콘크리트(SCC)의 목표성능기준을 만족하는 혼합률은 15%이내가 적절할 것으로 판단되었다. 폐콘크리트 분말(WCP2)을 15 및 30% 혼합한 재령 28일 압축강도는 약 36 및 28MPa를 나타내었으며, 압축강도와 정탄성계수의 관계에는 CEB-FIP 에서 제시한 함수와 유사한 경향을 나타내었다. 이상의 실험결과, 보통강도용 자기충전 콘크리트(SCC)의 혼화재료로 폐콘크리트 분말(WCP2)을 활용할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

최근 국 내외에서 폐유리의 발생량이 증가하고 있으며 대부분의 폐유리량은 재활용 및 재생산으로 활용되고 있다. 하지만 재활용되지 못한 폐유리는 매립되어 2차적인 환경문제를 야기 시키고 있는 실정이다. 폐유리 미분말의 5% 혼합에 따라 페이스트 평균점도(레올로지)는 22.3% 감소하였으며, 모르타르의 플로우 및 재령 28일 압축강도는 약 1.5%및 6%감소하였다. 또한 굳지 않은 자기 충전 콘크리트의 폐유리 미분말 혼합률이 증가할수록 유동성은 증가하였으며 압축강도는 감소하였다. 자기충전 콘크리트의 JSCE 2등급 규정에 만족하는 유동성 및 적정 압축 강도를 고려한다면, 폐유리 미분말의 최적 혼합률 20%를 찾을 수 있었다.
