Concrete is most widely used construction material in the world. Its superior properties make it a suitable material for utilization. Modern age concretes are more durable and have high strengths as compared to old age concretes. However, these high strength concretes presents high shrinkage at early-ages, which is due to low water/binder (w/b) ratios. Keeping in view this problem, this research study is conducted. Mortars were made with cement and silica fume as binders with incorporation of two different size ranges of tea waste particles. Setting time, flow and chemical shrinkage of fresh mortars were investigated. The results showed that the addition of saturated tea waste particles reduced the chemical shrinkage at early ages as compared to the mixes without tea waste particles.

This research provides an analysis of experiments on sulfuric acid resistance of alkali-activated slag mortar with dolomite powder. The results show that the longer the bedding time, the lower the mass change in all specimens. Among them, the mass change in a dolomite replaced specimens are shown to be less than that of a non-dolomite specimens. Since the composition of dolomite reacts with sulfuric acid solution to produce a product, it is thought to play a role in reducing mass reduction.

of ordinary Portland cement. Water-cement ratio was 0.40 and cement-sand ratio was 1:3. The content of nano-TiO2 was 3% but the content of nano-SiO2 changed in cement mortars. The content of nano-SiO2 was 0%, 0.5%, 1%, 1.5% and 2% of the binder weight. Mortar prisms and beams were made in specified molds and cured in limewater. Compressive and flexural strengths, porosity and ultrasonic pulse velocity were measured. Then mortars were stored in 6 molar ammonium nitrate (NH4NO3) solution. Leaching depth, variation of mechanical and microstructural properties were measured. Presence of nano-particles decreased the leaching depth and the degradation of mechanical and microstructural properties in mortars.

In this study, the performance of the self-healing with the granulated alkali activator (Ca(OH)2) manufactured in seawater environment is investigated for crack healing under 300 μm of cracks. Specimens combined with GGBFS and OPC with and without the granulated alkali activator were manufactured and immersed in seawater. After that, crack recovery on the surface of the specimens with the granulated alkali activator (Ca(OH)2) was also evaluated by the ultrasonic pulse velocity test. From the results, it was verified that cementitious materials with the granulated alkali activator, exposed in marine environments, could be able to heal or seal inside cracks

In this study, poly-silicon sludge was used in replacement with Portland cement as SCMs. Poly-silicon sludge has an ability to improve the durability to the concrete system.

In this study, to evaluate the performance of fire resistance of the mortar with magnesium hydroxide(MH) and aluminium hydroxide(AH) which has a RCC (Radiant Control Capability) as repair material to the steel structure, temperature evaluation of mortar was conducted by increasing 500°C in the furnace. The performance of RCC can decrease a temperature to external and internal mortar. As a result, it is confirmed that temperatures of mortar with magnesium hydroxide(MH) and aluminium hydroxide(AH) were more decreased than general mortar due to the RCC effect of MH and AH. Therefore, it can be possible to apply to a repair material at the steel structure.

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.

In this study, cement-based accelerators, which have an advantage of preventing early frost and in developing early strength in cold-weather. Then, whether it can be secured the operating time by controlling the response time in early-stage and can be developed due to the accelerator's function, as evaluated by testing.

Concrete indicates highly alkaline through hydration reaction of mortars that were attached to the RCA's surface. In this study, the carbonation of concrete incorporating coated RCA was investigated through accelerated carbonation test. As a results, coated RCA was indicated to be better than normal RCA.

Although accelerators can be utilized for the prevention of early frost by developing the strength of concrete in cold weather, no security of workability occurs because early hydration makes them react rapidly. In this study, granulation was used as a method as it can control the response time of the accelerator to secure the workability of fresh concrete.

Set-controlling admixtures via granulation method may be secured the operation time by adjusting the response time. therefore, mortar with Set-controlling admixtures via granulation is measured setting-time. As a result, the possibility of initial reaction control confirmed and also was developed the required properties of setting-time.

In this study, we looked at characteristics and properties of polyethylene glycol (PEG) mixed with cement paste. And as a result, brought improvement on strength and durability, discovering the possibility of development of more economical and easily workable injection material.
