PURPOSES : This study is conducted to evaluate the development of materials for extinguishing ESS(Energy Storage System) fires in electric vehicles using industrial byproducts. METHODS : Grout containing an appropriate amount of fly ash, silica fume, blast furnace slag powder, and ferronikel slag, which are industrial byproducts, was prepared. The fluidity, stress, and mechanical properties were evaluated in accordance with standard test methods. RESULTS : The fluidity of the materials used for the evolution of ESS fires differed depending on the material of the industrial byproducts. In the case of blast furnace slag, its fluidity is low owing to viscosity even when it content is high, and the use of ferronikelsrag is shown to be suitable for the evolution of ESS fires in fluidity and curing tests. CONCLUSIONS : Fire-extinguishing materials using industrial byproducts require a long curing time but exhibit the fluidity required for ESS fire extinguishment. In particular, the curing and fluidity of Peronikel slag and fly ash are suitable for ESS fire extinguishing.

This research investigates the incorporation of eco-friendly materials, namely fly ash and artificial interior stone sludge into cement grouts. The study aims to establish the correlation between the microstructural properties and the compressive strength, providing a comprehensive behavior of fly ash and artificial interior stone (AIS) sludge on the cement grouts. A multifaceted experimental approach encompassing compressive strength testing, mercury intrusion porosimetry, thermogravimetric analysis, and scanning electron microscopy is employed. The result indicated that incorporating fly ash and artificial interior stone sludge into cement grouts led to a reduction in the porosity and refinement of the pore size. The thermogravimetry analysis revealed a notable impact of fly ash and artificial interior stone sludge on hydration and phase transition. The scanning electron microscopy findings of the microstructural enhancement confirmed that the combined incorporation of fly ash and AIS sludge densified the structure.

PURPOSES : In this study, high-viscosity grout for increasing ground stiffness is developed using industrial byproducts. METHODS : Based on literature review, the viscosity and viscosity expression time of domestic and foreign anti-washout admixture underwater were evaluated. In addition, grout was prepared by mixing 5% to 40% of fly ash (FA) in a standard mixture. Flow, setting time, and compressive strength tests were conducted to evaluate the quality of the grout. RESULTS : Experimental results show that the viscosity required is 35,000 to 40,000 cps, whereas the viscosity expression time required exceeds 300 min. As the amount of FA used for grouting increases, the physical and mechanical performances deteriorate. The strength of a test specimen manufactured underwater is lower than that of a test specimen manufactured under air, and the decrease on day 28 is lower than that on day 3. The FA applied to the grout should be less than 20%. CONCLUSIONS : Although industrial byproducts, which exhibit high viscosity, offer excellent mechanical performance and are thus suitable as a solidifying agent for strengthening grout, their application in the field must be evaluated.

In case of underground construction affected by groundwater, CIP (Cast-In-Place Pile) method is generally used to resolve the geo-hydraulic problem. However, as this method has poor connectivity between piles, an auxiliary method for cut-off is needed in many cases. In this study, a new concept earth retaining wall method (H-CIP) with no auxiliary method, by using surfactant grout (Hi-FA) which improves antiwashout and infiltration ability, is introduced, and its field applicability is evaluated. CIP and H-CIP piles were installed with same ground conditions, and field permeability tests were conducted to verify the performance. As results, newly contrived H-CIP method shows higher antiwashout performance for cut-off than conventional CIP method.

SSG(self-healing smart grouting) method, has the characteristics such as an improvement of durability and waterproofing, prevention of leaching and pollution. In this study, several tests were performed such as gel-time measurement, uniaxial compression test, permeability test, chemical resistance test to compare the engineering properties of SSG with the other chemical grouting method(LW, SGR). As results of tests, the SSG method has low possibility of groundwater and ground pollution caused by leaching, furthermore, it has advantages like long/short term waterproofing, strength and durability. Therefore the SSG method can be applicable in the fields as an alternative method where is the problems of existing chemical grouting method.

Recently, for efficiency increase of the wind turbine tower, turbine has been enlarged and installation location has been transferring to offshore. The importance of the support structure is emphasized when a wind turbine tower is installed on offshore. The support structure is influenced not only by the system operating loads but also by various marine condition loads. Accurate and safe design is essential because the connection between the support structure and the wind tower can be relatively fragile. In particular, the type of foundation pile and sleeve grout connection were adapted from DNV, API, and ISO that are typically used for wind towers, and they have been continuously studied by many researchers. However, the experimental results by researchers are different from the design equations, and it needs to modify the formula according to connection properties and material. Therefore, this study investigates the design equation presented in existing design criteria and the results of research conducted by existing researchers, and analyzes ultimate strength and failure modes.

Grouted connections have been widely used for offshore structures such as connection method of jacket and mono-pile structures. It is recommended high strength concrete for grouting between pile and sleeve because it is so rapidly hardening that helpful to fatigue strength. This study investigates axial strength of pile to sleeve grouted connections made by 130MPa of high strength concrete. Push-out test were performed to evaluate the axial strength of the grouted connections with different shear-key spacing.

본 실험 논문은 초단유리섬유(milled glass fibers)가 혼입된 PSC용 그라우트 몰탈의 강재부식성능을 평가하였다. 초단유리섬유를 함유한 배합이 PSC 그라우트 몰탈로서 소요성능을 만족시키는지를 확인하기 위하여 유하시간, 블리딩 및 압축강도를 측정하였다. 초단유리 섬유를 함유한 몰탈의 부식저항 성능은 염소이온 확산시험, 몰탈 흡수시험과 표면전기저항 측정 결과에 근거하여 수행되었다. 시험결과, 초단 유리가 혼입된 모든 배합은 OPC만 사용된 배합에 비하여 그라우트의 부식저항성능을 개선시키는 것으로 확인되었다. 다만, 초단유리섬유를 사용함으로서 유하시간은 단축되지만 블리딩이 발생하여 소요성능을 만족하지 못하는 것으로 확인되었다. 그러므로 PSC 그라우트에 적합한 초단유리섬유배합이 되기 위해서는 물-바인더비의 조정이 필요한 것으로 판단된다.

본 연구는 PSC그라우트에 초단유리섬유를 첨가하거나 치환하였을 때, PSC구조물용 그라우트가 가지는 적합성에 대하여 연구하였다. 초단유리섬유를 첨가하였을 때 유하속도가 증가하여 작업성이 떨어진다. 또한 블리딩이 발생하지 않았으며 압축강도가 증진되는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 치환할 때 유하속도가 감소했으나 블리딩이 발생하였고, 압축강도가 증진되었다. 따라서 수화반응을 일으키지 않는 초단유리섬유로 인하여 유동성이 증가하고 압축강도가 증진되었다.

In order to prevent tendon from corrosion and to provide a sufficient bond between tendon and concrete, post-tensioning grout has been used. But, the normal mixture with w/c ratio of 0.40 and add the expansive agent for 1% was not support for specification(BS EN 445) compliance. Thus, it should add some supplementary cementitious materials to improve the properties. Therefore, based on this test result, not only evaluation of bleeding, volume change, fluidity, and compressive strength, but also estimation of the shrinkage of post-tensioning grout under restrained condition remains as a pressing need.

This research investigated the effects of adding ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS) on the pullout resistance of smooth steel fibers embedded in GGBS cement grouts. 40% of cement in the grouts was replaced with GGBS to enhance the flowability and durability of grouts containing steel fibers. The pullout resistance of steel fibers embedded in grouts showed continuous enhancement as the age of grouts increased. The pullout resistance of GGBS grouts was higher than that of grouts without GGBS.
