In this study, to evaluate the setting time, compressive strength and drying shrinkage of ordinary Portland cement and Portland blast-furnace slag cement mortar with 0, 10, 20, 30 wt.% alpha-calcium sulfate hemihydrate. As a results, as the replacement ratio of alpha-calcium sulfate hemihydrate increased, the initial setting time of ordinary Portland cement and Portland blast-furnace slag cement mortar was faster. In addition, the compressive strength decreased with increasing replacement ratio of alpha-calcium sulfate hemihydrate in both ordinary Portland cement mortar and Portland blast-furnace slag cement mortar. The strength development of Portland blast-furnace slag cement mortar with alpha-calcium sulfate hemihydrate was effective than that of ordinary Portland cement mortar. On the other hand, in the case of the mortar with alpha-calcium sulfate hemihydrate, it was confirmed that shrinkage deformation was reduced at the early age by growth pressure of needle-shaped ettringite crystals produced by incorporation of alpha-calcium sulfate hemihydrate. However, the effect of inhibiting shrinkage deformation of mortar with alpha-calcium sulfate hemihydrate was not significant as the age passed. Therefore, it is considered that the alpha-calcium sulfate hemihydrate is useful as a construction material.

This study was performed an evaluation of physical & mechanical properties of mortar & concrete by fineness of slag cement. As the results of study, strength of mortar and concrete tended to improve as the fineness of slag cement increased and when considering early strength and 28days strength, the proper content fineness of slag cement was thought to be $5,000cm^2/g$.

The durability of concrete structures decrease due to deterioration of concrete when they are constructed in marine or pollutional environments. In this study, the mortar specimens made from the five different types of cement were immersed in artificial seawater and four kinds chemical solution, and were measured the change of compressive strength and weight. The results show that the longer the immersed days are, the more the compressive strength reduction is. It has been remarked that the resistance of slag cement and ground granulated blast-furnace slag is excellent in chemical attack.

This study is to investigate experimentally the strength properties of mortar using recycled fine aggregates(RA) and blast furnace slag powder(BS) without cement according to type of fine aggregate. In the results of the study, compressive strength of RA was the highest. It can be considered that the results are due to the reaction of the non-hydration cement in RA to the latent hydraulicity reaction of the BS.

The aim of this study is to investigate the properties of hardened mortar with chlorine by-pass system(CBS) in cement production in blast furnace slag(BS) mixed cement. Compressive strength had a tendency to be increased when the CBS Dust was replaced by 10% at the BS replacement rate of 0%. The 65% combination of BS showed a tendency to decrease as the CBS Dust exchange rate increases. Flexural strength was reduced as CBS Dust exchange rate increases in BS replacement ratio of 0%. The use of 5% of CBS dust can contribute to enhance the quality of non reinforced concrete.

Recently, as quality river aggregates like sands and gravels become scarce, use of crushed stones and sands, seashore sands, and seashore gravels is increasing abruptly. And, aggregates recycled from slags and waste concretes are used. However, since the converter slag easily expands and breaks due to free lime, differently from the blast-furnace slag, it is not suitable for use as concrete aggregates. Since the atomized steel slag aggregate has slippery surface and spherical shape, the mortar flowing characteristics improved as the atomized steel slag content increases, without regard to the aggregates coarseness and water/cement ratio. The flow characteristics loss rate of the mortar manufactured from steel slag aggregates was similar to that of the mortar manufactured from washed sand only. The compact strength of the mortar manufactured from coarse PS Ball were larger than that manufactured from washing sand only.

The 5 types of cement mortar was immersed in the various chemical solutions for 400 days and then the compressive strength and the length change were measured to consider the chemical resistance at required ages. Due to the effect of flyashe and GGBF slag, the compressive strength of blended cement mortar was higher than that of portland cement mortar at long ages. According to the result of length change, the mineral admixture in blended cement had an indluence on reducing the amount of C3A, the cause of making concrete expand, and it made the formation of cements mortar denser so that the length change was much smaller than that of the portland cement mortar. However, the OPC mortar immersed in Na2SO4 solution for 180 days shows 4 times bigger length change chante than the blended cement mortar.

This study aims to completely develop a non sintered cement mortar using industrial by-products. To replace Portland cement, blast furnace slag, circulating fluidized bed fly ash, and pulverized coal fly ash were used, and natural aggregates were substituted with ferronickel slag. To understand the characteristics of the non sintered cement mortar to which ferronickel slag is applied, an experiment was conducted by classifying the particle size. Fluidity and workability were confirmed through the flow test, and bending and compressive strength tests were conducted at 3, 7, and 28 days of age. In addition, durability was identified through a chloride ion penetration test. Through the study, it is judged that the binder, which completely replaced cement and aggregate, has high potential of being used as a construction material. Notably, it was confirmed to be advantageous for strength and durability.

The study analyzed on each kind of basic characteristics in mortar to prove an effect of pre-mix cement, ultra high strength binder. The results were as follows. in characteristics of not set mortar, fluidity time was the quickest at the time of using POBSA and was more delayed at the time of using Fly Ash than at the time of using Blast Furnace Slag as a binder. Mortar ring flow and flow con flow got smaller as fluidity time got longer, on the contrary to fluidity time. Unit capacity mass was smaller at the time of using Fly Ash than at the time of using Blast Furnace Slag. According to pre-mix, it was difficult to discover a regular tendency. In characteristics of hardening mortar, the 28th day compressive strength was better than thing mixed after measuring separately in pre-mix. According to a binder's kind, Silica Fume B, C was better than Silica Fume A.

With the vision of 'a low carbon green develop' various industrial by-products were used as replacement of cement, in order to reduce $CO_2$ emissions from the manufacturing process of cement. Blast furnace slag is one of the industrial by-products. Due to the similar chemical compositions to ordinary Portland cement, blast furnace slag have been widely used in concrete with minimum side effects. Hence, in recent years, alkali activated slag-based composites are extensively studied by many researchers. However, the alkali activator can cause a number of problems in practice. Therefore, in this study, an alternative way of activating the slag was investigated. To activate the slag without using an alkali activator, calcium sulfate dihydrate was chosen and mixed with natural recycled fine aggregate. Fundamental properties of the slag-based mortar were tested to evaluate the effect of calcium sulfate dihydrate.
