PURPOSES: The object of this study is to select appropriate inorganic materials, and find the best mixing formula to secure fast curing time and enough initial strength, and then to evaluate the durability of the asphalt mixtures according to the degree of addition of the compound manufactured by the determined blending ratio. METHODS : The breaking time and reactivity between seven kinds of inorganic minerals, and the selected recycled aggregate and emulsified asphalt were compared to determine the best initial curing strength for the mixtures. Then, three inorganic materials were chosen as the materials that provide good breaking time and reactivity, and the best mixing formula for the three materials was determined. The chemical composition of the compound manufactured using the mixing formula was analyzed by energy dispersive x-ray system method. Finally, indirect tensile strength (ITS) test was performed (for two days) at room temperature to determine the proper amount of additives that will provide the best initial strength. RESULTS: From the results of the reactivity test, the best mixing formula (A:C:G = 60:30:10) for the three selected inorganic materials with short braking time and high reactivity was determined. The four types of cold reclaimed asphalt mixtures for ITS testing were manufactured by adding the inorganic material compounds at 0%, 3%, 5%, and 7%, and the ITS values were measured after two curing days. The ITS values at 5% and 7% were 0.308 MPa and 0.415 MPa, respectively. The results of quality control tests (Marshall stability, porosity, flow value, etc.) at 5% and 7% satisfied the specification criterion for the cold recycled asphalt mixtures. CONCLUSIONS : The selected inorganic materials (A, C, and G) and the best mixing formula (A:C:G = 60:30:10) accelerated the reaction with emulsified asphalt and shortened the curing time. Depending on the inorganic material used, the breaking time and reactivity can be directly related or unrelated. This is because of the chemical compositions of recycled aggregates, infiltrated foreign matter, and chemical reactions between the inorganic materials and other materials. Therefore, it is important to select the proper materials and the best mixing formula when evaluating the characteristics of the practically used materials such as recycled aggregates, inorganic materials, and emulsified asphalt.

The present study investigates the material and hydration properties of nPOFA mixed cement mortar with early carbonation curing based on the fact that each process contributes to fill capillary pores, to enhance compressive strength and to reduce CO2. Mortar samples were carried out compressive strength test, phenolphthalein test, MIP testt and SEM. Pulverized cement paste was analytically characterized by XRD, TG/DTA, and FTIR analzes. The fabricated specimens were cured for 0,7, and 28 days in the carbonation chamber which set to carbon dioxide concentration of 5%

이 연구에서는, 우리나라 전통 건축재료 중 하나인 천연 황토 모르타르에 사용되어 온 해초풀과 현대적 재료인 고흡수성수지 (Superabsorbent Polymer, SAP)와 같은 흡수성 물질이 이러한 모르타르의 건조수축과 압축강도에 미치는 영향이 조사되었다. 흡수성 물질과 더불어 문화재표준시방서에서 권고하는 초기 밀봉양생의 효과 역시 검토되었다. 실험에 의한 28일 압축강도와 수렴한 건조수축 변형율의 검 토 결과, 우선 초기 7일간의 밀봉 양생은 강도향상과 수축저감에 효과적이었다. 따라서, 문화재표준시방서의 권고는 합리적이며 실효성이 있 는 것으로 검증된다. 흡수성 물질의 혼입 역시 두 재료특성에 있어 효과적인데, 그 효과는 물질들의 흡수 능력에 의존한다. 따라서, 흡수 능력이 더 높은 SAP을 사용하는 것이 해초풀을 사용하는 것보다 더 효과적이다. 그러나, 이러한 것들이 유효하기 위해서는 초기 밀봉양생과 물이 추가 되지 않는 조건들이 함께 따라야 한다. 마지막으로, 황토 모르타르의 압축강도의 증가는 건조수축의 감소와 선형적으로 관계한다. 이러한 선형 상관성에 의해, 초기밀봉 양생 또는 흡수성 물질의 혼입에 따른 모르타르의 압축강도 증가하는 원인이 정량적으로 설명될 수 있다.

As global warming is higher by CO2, most of countries have an effort to develop CO2 reducing technology like a CO2 sequestration and a CO2 curing method using cement based materials. In this study, CO2 uptake rate and compressive strength were investigated when CO2 curing method was applied in cement mortar. The CO2 uptake rate was ranged from 10.1% to 11.6% by mass measurement method and from 6.2% to 16.3% by TGA method. This means that mass measurement method by electronic scale is more accurate than TGA method to estimate CO2 uptake rate. The early compressive strength of 1 hour CO2 curing specimens was higher than that of 1 hour atmospheric curing specimens, but lower than that of 5 hours steam curing specimens. 3 days and 7 days compressive strength of specimens by atmospheric curing and steam curing were increased both. But compressive strength of 1 hour CO2 curing specimens was lower than that of other two curing methods.

The objective of the paper is to experimentally investigate the compressive strength of the concrete incorporating fly ash. Ordinary Portland cement(OPC). Water to binder ratio(W/B) ranging from 30% to 60% and curing temperature ranging from -10℃∼65℃ were also adopted for experimental parameters. Fly ash was replaced by 30% of cement contents. According to the results, strength development of concrete contained with fly ash is lower than that of plain concrete in low temperature at early age and maturity. In high curing temperature, the concrete with fly ash has higher strength development than that of low temperature regardless of the elapse of age and maturity. Fly ash can have much effect on the strength development of concrete at the condition of mass concrete, hot weather concreting and the concrete products for the steam curing.
