This study investigated the applicability of synthetic resins as neutron shielding aggregates in cementitious materials with SEM analysis. Synthetic resins contain lots of hydrogen atoms, which is effective in neutron shielding by an elastic scattering because its mass is almost the same as that of the neutron. The SEM results showed that the binding force between HDPE/PP particles and cement matrix is very week compared to that of UPE particles so that additional treatment such as surface reforming should be needed.

This study aimed to investigate the effect of boron compounds on the setting time and compressive strength of mortar, which is well known materials effective to capture thermal neutrons but cause delay in the strength development at early ages. Among various types of boron compounds, a boric acid was mainly considered in this study depending on the replacement level in mortar.

This experiment can maximize the decline of the heat on steel structure by using the magnesium hydroxide and aluminum hydroxide which generally used to resistant or retardant. These materials can delay a temperature rise due to the generation of vapors around the fire resistive covering, when reacting with heat by a creating moisture. Therefore, applicability of the fire resistance mortar used magnesium hydroxide and aluminum hydroxide was studied and experimented. As a result, in case of the workability is satisfied with the condition of site, but in case of the bonding strength is not satisfied with the standard with fire resistance mortar.

This study aimed to determine adhered mortar content of recycled aggregate (RA) using microwave irradiation (700W)and mixed solution of hydrochloric acid (HCl) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). The optimum condition was first to soakRA in tap water for 30 min and then RA was soaked in mixed solution of 30% HCl and 15% H2O2 (HCl:H2O2=1:2) for 70-90min after 15-min microwave irradiation. The mortar of RA in the condition was completely removed within2.3 hrs. Reaction rate (k) with the condition was −0.6408hr−1, which was about 190 times faster than that with HCl only(k=−0.0034hr−1).

As the industrialization is rapidly growing and the quantities of heavy weight waste glass have been quickly increased but the most of them are not recycled. The heavy weight waste glass have been treated by illegal dumping or being buried in landfills. And, it is caused some problem such as the environmental pollution. So, it is needed to investigate the possibility of recycling of heavy weight waste glass as concrete material ingredient. In this paper, the mechanical properties of mortar substituted the crushed waste glass as fine aggregate are evaluated. From the results, when waste glass substitution ratio increase, fluidity and specific gravity increase. However, the compressive strength and flexural strength decrease. So, the mechanical properties of mortar are significantly affected by waste glass substitution ratio.

Due to the increasingly serious environmental problems presented by waste tires, the feasibility of using elastic and flexible tire-rubber particles as aggregate in concrete is investigated in this study. Tire-rubber particles is composed of tire chips, crumb rubber, and a combination of tire chips and crumb rubber.

최근 선진국을 중심으로 MWCNT(Multi-walled carbon nanotube)의 우수한 기계적 성질을 이용한 시멘트 모르타르의 압축강도 향상 연구가 활발하다. 그러나 국내에서 MWCNT 모르타르와 관련된 연구는 국외에 비해 상당히 미미한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 MWCNT 수용액을 시멘트 모르타르에 적용하여 MWCNT 모르타르의 압축강도 증진 효과를 분석하고자 한다. 실험 매개변수는 최적의 MWCNT 모르타르 제작법 도출을 목적으로 강도시험에 큰 영향을 미칠 것으로 예상되는 물시멘트비, 재령일, MWCNT의 농도로 선정하였다. 물시멘트비는 0.4, 0.5, 0.6으로 변화시켰고 재령일은 7일, 14일 28일로 구분하였으며 MWCNT수용액의 농도는 2.0wt%로 선정하였다. MWCNT 모르타르에 혼입한 MWCNT 수용액의 분산은 계면활성제와 초음파로 처리하였으며, 증류수를 기반으로 제작 하였다. 실험결과 물시멘트비 0.4, 0.5, 0.6일 때 일반 시멘트 모르타르의 압축강도보다 MWCNT 모르타르의 압축강도가 각각 최대 35%, 20%, 25% 높게 측정되었다. MWCNT 모르타르의 압축강도가 일반 시멘트 모르타르의 압축강도보다 높은 이유는 모르타르의 수화 과정에서 MWCNT의 우수한 기계적 성질이 모르타르 내부의 결합력을 증진시켜 주는 것으로 분석되었다.

The purpose of this study is to develop eco-friendly finishing materials of acrylic emulsion-modified mortars using lightweight aggregate carrier which contains pyroligneous liquid. Four types of light-weight aggregate carriers such as perlite, vermiculite, charcoal and zeolite are selected. The acrylic emulsion-modified mortars are prepared with light-weight carrier replacements to dolomite of 0, 5, 10, 15, 20%, and tested for flowability, adhesion in tension, water absorption coefficient and antibiosis. As a result, the flowability of acrylic emulsion-modified mortars using zeolite light-weight is improved with increasing light-weight carrier content. The adhesion in tension of acrylic emulsion-modified mortars using lightweight carrier is satisfied with KS requirement. Especially, the adhesion in tension of acrylic emulsion-modified mortars using light-weight aggregate carrier at a high temperature of 40oC are better than the low temperatures of 0oC and 20oC. The water absorption coefficient of acrylic emulsion-modified mortars using light-weight aggregate carriers is increased with increasing light-weight carrier content. However, the water absorption coefficient is satisfied with KS requirement. The antibiosis of acrylic emulsion-modified mortars using zeolite light-weight carrier is remarkably improved with increasing light-weight carrier content.

Environmental problems caused by the occurrence of carbon dioxide are recognized as a critical issue throughout the world. As a result, a measure for the use of cement and improvement of its quality must be sought out. In order to reduce the occurrence of carbon dioxide during the manufacturing process of cement, this study creates an alkali-activated slag cement that utilizes ground granulated blast furnace slag, an industrial by-product, and substitutes metakaolin as an alternative for silica fume to improve the process of manufacturing high-strength concrete and its quality. The study discerns the mechanical characteristics by measuring the flexibility and compressive strength through the mortar matrix and discerns the durability by conducting an acid resistance test and chloride ion penetration resistance test. Also, the study discerns the hydration products through an XRD test. Based on the results of such tests, it is anticipated that it may be used as a secondary product for concrete or buildings that require superior long-term strength and durability compared to regular Portland cement. However, as no clear results were found in this study regarding the substitution of metakaolin, it displayed mixed results in comparison to previous studies. Nevertheless, it is expected that metakaolin will become a more superior admixture if its issues are improved through continuous research studies.

Two main parameters were examined such as CSA content and polymer-binder ratio to find effects on the strength, water absorption, chloride ion penetration depth, carbonation depth, length change and chemical resistance of polymer-modified mortar with CSA and EVA polymer powder (EVAPP). As results, compressive, flexural, tensile, adhesive strengths, and length change of the polymer-modified mortar with CSA and EVAPP increases with increasing CSA content and polymer-binder ratio, although the water absorption, chloride ion penetration depth, and carbonation depth decrease with increasing polymer-binder ratio and CSA content, and also the chemical resistance decreases. Such strength and durability development is attributed to the high tensile strength of EVA polymer and the improved bond between cement hydrates and aggregates because of the addition of EVAPP and CSA.

The expansive behaviour of heat-cured mortars containing fly ash was investigated. The use of fly ash(replacement 20%) to the mortar reduced the long term expansion. But increase of SO3 in cement led to increase the long term expansion, and gave impetus to the formation of monosulphate for elevated temperature.
