This study is to perform experiment of concrete according to addition of blast furnace slag powder and sulfur activator dosages. Blast furnace slag powder used at 30, 50, 80% replacement by weight of cement, and liquid sulfur additives was chosen as the alkaline activator. As a result, it should be noted that the sulfur alkali-activators can not only solve the disadvantage of blast furnace slag concrete but also offer the chloride resistance of alkali-activated blast furnace slag concrete to blast furnace slag concrete.

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

본 연구는 혼합 활성화제에 의한 알칼리 활성화 슬래그 시멘트(AASC)의 역학적 특성에 관한 연구이다. 사용된 활성화제는 황산칼슘(CaSO4, 이하 CS), 황산나트륨(Na2SO4, 이하 SS) 및 수산화나트륨(NaOH)이다. 황산염은 슬래그 중량의 2.5, 5.0, 7.5 및 10.0%로 치환하여 사용하였으며, NaOH는 2M 및 4M 농도의 수용액으로 사용하였다. 본 연구에서는 황산염(CS 및 SS) 치환율에 따른 배합(4가지 배합)과 2M 및 4M의 각각의 NaOH 수용액에 치환된 황산염을 혼합하여 시험체를 제작하였다. 시험체는 총 24가지의 배합에 따라 페이스트로 제작되었으며, 물－결합재 비는 0.5로 하였다. 경화된 시험체에 대해서 압축강도, 휨강도, 초음파속도(UPV), 흡수율 및 XRD 분석을 수행하였다. CS의 활성화제를 사용한 경우는 7.5% CS 치환율, 2M NaOH 수용액+ 5.0% CS 치환율 및 4M NaOH 수용액+ 5.0% CS 치환율의 시험체에서 최고의 압축강도를 나타내었다. 또한, SS의 활성화제를 사용한 경우는 10.0% SS 치환율, 2M NaOH + 7.5% SS 치환율 및 4M NaOH + 2.5% SS 치환율에서 최고의 압축강도 발현을 나타내었다. 휨강도, UPV 및 흡수율은 압축강도 발현 결과와 유사한 경향을 나타내는 것을 알 수 있었으며, XRD 분석결과 시험체 내에 생성된 반응물질은 ettringite, CSH 및 실리케이트계 수화물인 것으로 나타났다. AASC에서 황산염과 NaOH의 혼합 사용은 황산염의 단독 사용의 경우와 비교하여 일정 수준의 농도 범위에서 강도를 향상시키고 조직을 치밀화 시키는 등의 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 판단된다.

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.

This study is based on developing a free-cement. The Setting time of 100% GGBS(Ground Granulated Blast furnace Slag) admixed alkali-activators is measured, the influence of cation of alkali-activators on setting time is assessed. As a result, in case of mixing KOH or NaOH, setting time is getting shorter, although, GGBS admixed Ca(OH)2 has similar setting times regardless of concentration of alkali-activators.

This paper reported the effect of blended activator on the compressive strength of alkali-activated slag cement(AASC) mortar. The alkalis combinations made using sodium hydroxide(NaOH), calcium hydroxide(Ca(OH)2) and potassium hydroxide(KOH) with calcium carbonate(CaCO3). The compressive strength was increase as the dosage of caustic alkali increase.

This is an experimental study on manufacturing of non-cement matrix. Materials like cement and blowing agent in foamed concrete is replaced by by-products from blast furnace slag and paper ash. Further, the experiment was performed by replacing alkali with natural gypsum by (0, 5, 15, 20, 25, 35, 45) of weight of alkali (wt.%) in order to reduce the amount of expensive alkali activator. Sample NG-0.15 with density showed lowest. After this point, density increases as replacement ratio increases. The compressive strength test result, showed a similar trend with density. And it showed that compressive strength of the NG-0.45 was highest.

In the previous result, the flexural strength of geopolymer prepared was affected by the evaporation of water content or the shrinkage rate in the curing process of specimen. We investigated the effect of SiO2/H2O ratio on the physical property of geopolymer prepared in this research. The specimen of geopolymer tile was made from mine tailing and melting slag. The maximum flexural strength was obtained at SiO2/H2O ratio of 0.21 under our experimental condition. And the lowest was obtained at SiO2/H2O 0.41. EDS analysis was acted to elucidate this cause. According to the results, it was due to the extent of geopolymerization at the inside and outside of specimen.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the characteristics of compressive strength and workability according to the NaOH and KOH addition method as powder of mortar which is made of Non-sintered binder for the reuse of resources and the CO2 reduction
