According to social needs, eco-friendly material for concrete structures has been developed in recent years. Hwang-toh is one of the eco-friendly architectural material and hwang-toh has been used by partial or complete replacement of portland cement. Pullout tests on deformed steel reinforcing bars with non-activated hwangtoh concrete are conducted in this paper. Experimental results, average bond strength of non-activated hwangtoh concrete was appeared to 7.3 MPa.

As a eco-friendly material, Hwangtoh (red clay) has been studied for complete or partial replacement of portland cement consisted in concrete. In this research, the experimental works were conducted to study the initial quality control for the compressive strength of Hwangtoh concrete (24MPa) using the ultrasonic pulse velocity method and the impact echo method of nondestructive test methods.
