This research is to investigate the effect of borosilicate glass powder on neutron shielding capability of cement mortar. The average particle size of the borosilicate glass powder was 13 μm. It was found that the addition of borosilicate glass powder increased 28 day compressive strength. In addition, neutron shielding capability of cement mortar also increased by the addition of borosilicate glass powder. Considering our earlier findings on enhanced thermal neutron shielding of cement mortar by borosilicate glass powder, the use of borosilicate glass powder was found to be effective to shield neutron when the cement mortar was exposed to the neutron radiation. It can be concluded that borosilicate glass powder is a good alternative material for neutron shielding purposes.

In this paper, finite element analysis of high-strength SFRC with high tensile strength steel fiber was investigated. Compressive and flexural behavior was ductile when using steel fiber tensile strength 1,600 MPa. Thorenfeldt and Trilinear models were used to describe the compressive and tensile behavior. Inverse analysis was performed to construct tensile model by evaluating flexural behavior. The flexural behavior of test results were similar to analysis results.

In this study, they were evaluated that the fundamental properties of mortar using a superabsorbent polymer. From the results, the flow value tends to decrease as the SAP content increases, and the compressive strength shows no particular tendency. This is due to the difference in SAP absorption rate. Therefore, it is necessary to accurately measure the absorption rate depending on the type of SAP, and it is considered that addition of water should be depending on the absorption rate.

Experimental results show that the damping ratio of the C40 is 2.63%, which is 1.72 times higher than the damping ratio of the C30 of 1.53%. The higher the water cement ratio, the higher the damping ratio is. In addition, the damping ratio of the C-PA series is reduced by 17% to 60% as compared with the C-series. The difference of the damping ratio due to the coarse aggregate size in the C-PA series was found to be within the standard deviation

This study investigated the impact resistance properties of UHPC and HDFRC. Test results showed that the HDFRC mixture has a higher penetration depth than the UHPC mixture, however, the HDFRC mixture has a higher impact resistance performance without perforation based on high ductility through multiple micro cracks.

This study investigated the comparison of tensile properties between cement and cementless composite with polyarylate fiber. Test results showed that the cementless composite with polyarylate fiber showed lower strength and higher tensile strain capacity than the cement composite with polyarylate fiber.

Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) is a thermal analysis technique that the mass of sample is measured by time and temperature changes. In this study, TGA was applied for estimating the proportion of Nylon-6,6 nanofibers in the cement paste as well as the decomposition temperature of Nylon-6,6 nanofibers. An electrospinning process was conducted for producing nanofibers and adding directly into the cement powder. The TGA results show that there was approximately 0.5 % of nanofibers in the composite pastes. Besides, the decomposition temperature of Nylon-6,6 nanofibers was clarified in the range of 300℃ to 410℃.

In this study, chloride penetration resistance and electrical resistivity properties of concrete using industrial waste were evaluated. From the results, the chloride diffusion coefficient increases and electrical resistivity decreases when electric furnace slag is mixed. It is needed that the comparison of results with long-term because the electric furnace slag has a ferrous component.

In this study, the fundamental properties of concrete using industrial waste as aggregate were evaluated. The concrete specimens were prepared using the steel slag as coarse aggregate and heavyweight waste glass. It was found that when the electric arc furnace slag substitution ratio increased, air contents and density also increase. However, the slump is decreased with an increase in the substitution ratio of electric arc furnace slag.

In this research, airborne chlorides of sea bridges in terms of height were measured every month in the West and South coast for 1 year. The results showed that the decreasing tendency of airborne chlorides to height strongly depends on the maximum amount of airborne chlorides of the target area.
