Concrete with blast furnace slag (BFS) shows varied strength development properties different from normal concrete. Therefore, a precise prediction of compressive strength using a full maturity model is desired. The purpose of this study is to predict the compressive strength of concrete with BFS by calculating the apparent activation energy (Ea) and rate constant (kT) for each BFS replacement ratio. The method of Carino Model is used in this study for predicting compressive strength of concrete with BFS.

This study investigate mechanical properties of alkali-activated slag fiber-composites according to water to binder ratio. A series of experiments were carried out to find the mechanical properties including compressive strength, uniaxial tensile tests. The result of tests exhibited strain hardening behavior and high ductility under direct uniaxial tensile load test.

In this study, it was developed eco-friendly alkali-activated slag fiber reinforced concrete using ground granulated blast furnace slag, alkali activator (water glass, sodium hydroxides), and steel fiber. Eight reinforced concrete beam using alkali-activated slag concrete were constructed and tested under monotonic loading. The major variables were mixture ratio of alkali activator, mixed/without of steel fiber. Experimental programs were carried out to improve and evaluate the flexural performance of such test specimens, such as the load-displacement, the failure mode, the maximum load carrying capacity, and ductility capacity. All the specimens were modeled in scale-down size. The reinforced concrete beams using the eco-friendly alkali-activated slag fiber reinforced concrete was failed by the flexure or flexure-shear in general. In addition, the maximum strength increased with the adding the mol of sodium hydroxide, and the specimen reinforced the steel fiber showed the value of maximum strength which is increased by 15.8% through 25.9%. It is thought that eco-friendly alkali-activated slag fiber reinforced concrete can be used with construction material and product to replace normal concrete. If there is applied to structures such as precast concrete member and production of 2nd concrete product, it could be improved the productivity and reduction of construction duration etc.

CO2 emitted from building materials and construction materials industry reaches about 67 million tons, which occupy about 30% of CO2 emitted from the construction field. Controls on the use of consumed fossil fuels and reduction of emission gases are essential for the reduction of CO2 in the construction area as we reduce the second and third curing to emit CO2 in the construction materials industry. Accordingly, this study applied the low energy curing admixture (hereinafter “LA”) to the extruded panels to observe the physical properties, depending on the mixing amount of fiber, type of fiber and mixing ratio of fiber. The type of fiber did not appear to be a main factor to affect strength, while the LA mixing ratio and mixing amount of fiber appeared to be major factors to affect strength. Especially, the highest strength was developed when the LA mixing ratio was 40%, whereas the test object with the mixing ratio of 50% resulted in the decrease of strength. In addition, it appeared that the mixing ratio of fiber greatly affected flexural strength and strength increased as the mixing ratio increased.

This laboratory study showed the performance evaluations of a improved C12A7 based mineral accelerator (I-CA) by both mortar and shotcrete tests. Performance of I-CA as a shotcrete accelerator was excellent by KCI-SC-102, which is a Korean specifications of shotcrete accelerator. In addition, I-CA showed equal qualities to the setting time and the compressive strength when compared those of the existing C12A7 based mineral accelerator (CA). The I-CA was manufactured with 40wt.% of electric arc furnace reducing slag, 24wt.% of lime, and 36wt.% of bauxite, indicating that the commercialization of I-CA contributed to recycle electric arc furnace reducing slag and to reduce the manufacturing cost of C12A7 based mineral accelerator due to the use a cheap raw material(electric arc furnace reducing slag), and to reduce the greenhouse gas emission due to the reductions in usage of lime and bauxite.

This study evaluated the standard consistency, setting time, hydration heat, and compressive strength of binary blended cement concrete (general and high strength) using air cooled ladle furnace slag (LFS) of 3, 5, 7, 10wt.% as an admixture for ordinary portland cement (OPC). Results showed that binary blended cements using the LFS of lower than 5wt.% shortened the setting time and reinforced the compressive strength of concrete (general and high-strength) compared to OPC concretes although binary blended cements needed more water to achieve the standard consistency. This indicated that LFS could be used as a useful admixture for manufacturing binary blended cement. Thus, we expected that the upcycling of LFS would be contributed to save energy consumption and reduce the greenhouse gas emission from the field of cement industry.

본 연구에서는 세계적으로 문제가 되고 있는 하천 및 수계내의 중금속 오염 방지와 대책을 강구하기 위해 고로슬래그가 중금속흡착에 유리한 물리, 화학적 특성을 지녔다고 판단하여 흡착제로서의 중금속흡착능이 충분한지에 대해 검토하였다. 흔히 중금속흡착제로 알려진 활성탄의 경우 제거효율은 좋지만, 경제적인 부담감을 안고 있으며, 현재 최근 활발한 산업 활동으로 인하여 나오는 건설폐기물이나 산업부산물의 문제를 해결하기 위해 이를 이용한 중금속 제거 기술이 보고되고 있다. 특히, 고로슬래그의 경우 선철 1t당 0.5~1t정도의 양이 배출되며, 이에 고로슬래그의 흡착제로서의 사용 검토가 된다면 제철부산물의 처리와 하천 및 수계내의 수질개선에도 도움이 된다고 판단했다. 고로슬래그는 체가름시험을 통하여 1.2~2.5mm의 치수를 사용하였으며, 중금속은 Cd, Cu, Pb, Zn으로 선정하여 등온흡착실험을 진행하였다. 중금속의 초기농도는 1ppm, 2ppm, 5ppm로 설정하고 120분간 128rpm으로 교반하여 진행하였으며, 일정 시간간격을 두어 샘플을 채취하여 시간 당 중금속의 부하량을 산정하였다. 그 결과 Cd의 경우 120분간 선형의 그래프를 나타내며 제거 되었으며, Cu, Pb, Zn은 20~30분까지 급격하게 중금속의 농도가 감소하다가 120분까지 서서히 감소되었다. 초기농도에 관계없이 120분동안 중금속 제거량은 총 1ppm 정도였으며, 결과적으로 고로슬래그의 중금속 흡착제로서의 흡착능이 뛰어나다고 판단된다. 이를 통해 하천 및 수계내의 수질개선을 위한 비점오염저감시설이나 장치의 흡착제나 또는 여과저류지등의 여재로 이용할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

This study examined dynamic and characteristics and chloride penetration of concrete mixed with large amount of FA and BFS, which are considered for positive application to construction fields with purpose of long-tern durability of concrete structures. As a result of strength test on FA and BFS, FA concrete showed higher increase of strength compared to OPC, when FA4000 and FA5000 were mixed 30%, respectively. For BFS concrete, those mixed with 30% and 50% of BFS8000, respectively, showed higher or equivalent strength compare to OPC. As a result of test of chloride penetration on FA and BFS, diffusion coefficients of concrete mixed with 30% FA4000 and FA5000, respectively, showed to restrain average 6.5% of diffusion coefficient compared to OPC. And in case of BFS concrete, those mixed with BFS6000 and BFS8000, restrained diffusion of chloride ions 253% and 336%, respectively, compared to OPC. Therefore, Mixing 50% of BFS was most efficient in order to maximize restraint of chloride penetration according to metathesis of large amount. For relation between compression strength and diffusion coefficient of FA and BFS concrete, as strength increased, diffusion coefficient decreased. In this study, when mixing FA and BFS to concrete for long-run durability and restraint against chloride penetration, for FA, mixing it to concrete with less or equivalent 30% of replacement rate was most efficient. And for BFS, as fineness was higher and mixing it to concrete with less or equivalent 50% of replacement rate, there were results of higher strength compared to OPC and more efficient restraint of chloride ions.

Environmental problems caused by the occurrence of carbon dioxide are recognized as a critical issue throughout the world. As a result, a measure for the use of cement and improvement of its quality must be sought out. In order to reduce the occurrence of carbon dioxide during the manufacturing process of cement, this study creates an alkali-activated slag cement that utilizes ground granulated blast furnace slag, an industrial by-product, and substitutes metakaolin as an alternative for silica fume to improve the process of manufacturing high-strength concrete and its quality. The study discerns the mechanical characteristics by measuring the flexibility and compressive strength through the mortar matrix and discerns the durability by conducting an acid resistance test and chloride ion penetration resistance test. Also, the study discerns the hydration products through an XRD test. Based on the results of such tests, it is anticipated that it may be used as a secondary product for concrete or buildings that require superior long-term strength and durability compared to regular Portland cement. However, as no clear results were found in this study regarding the substitution of metakaolin, it displayed mixed results in comparison to previous studies. Nevertheless, it is expected that metakaolin will become a more superior admixture if its issues are improved through continuous research studies.

Test results indicated that carbonation and penetration resistance of chloride attack had favorable results with the condition of 28days water curing and spreading WCO.

This study investigated the effect of cement type and ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS) on the mechanical properties and workability of grout for offshore PSC structures. As the replacement ratio of GGBS increased, the flowability of the grout increased and both intial and final setting times of grout was delayed regardless of cement type. However, the effects of GGBS on the bleeding of grout were different according to the type of cement: as the ratio of GGBS increased, less bleeding was observed for the grout with typeⅠ cement whereas higher bleeding was generated for the grout with type Ⅲ cement. However, there was no significant difference in their compressive strength at 28 day according the different replacement ratio of GGBS from 0 to 40%.
