When a new bonding agent using coal ash is utilized as a substitute for cement, it has the advantages of offering a reduction in the generation of carbon dioxide and securing the initial mechanical strength such that the agent has attracted strong interest from recycling and eco-friendly construction industries. This study aims to establish the production conditions of new hardening materials using clean bottom ash and an alkali activation process to evaluate the characteristics of newly manufactured hardening materials. The alkali activator for the compression process uses a NaOH solution. This study concentrated on strength development according to the concentration of the NaOH solution, the curing temperature, and the curing time. The highest compressive strength of a compressed body appeared at 61.24MPa after curing at 60˚C for 28 days. This result indicates that a higher curing temperature is required to obtain a higher strength body. Also, the degree of geopolymerization was examined using a scanning electron microscope, revealing a micro-structure consisting of a glass-like matrix and crystalized grains. The microstructures generated from the activation reaction of sodium hydroxide were widely distributed in terms of the factors that exercise an effect on the compressive strength of the geopolymer hardening bodies. The Si/Al ratio of the geopolymer having the maximum strength was about 2.41.

To evaluaiton of heat history and spalling of concrete conlmn exposed to high temperature, □300×300×H450mm Specimen was used. fiber condition is Nylon 0.15vol.%, Polypropylene 0.1vol.% and steel fiber 0.3vol.%. The type of find aggregates are silica sand, wash sand and slag sand.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the carbonation resistance of building coating materials applied to the mortar or concrete substrate including their cracked zone. The testing parameters for this experiment were the three crack widths in the substrate including non-crack, and two types of the coating materials.
