PURPOSES : The aim of this study is to investigate the enhancement of performance and the mix design method for asphalt mixtures utilizing ferronickel slag, an industrial by-product METHODS : To enhance the performance of FNS asphalt, waste tire powder (CR) was incorporated, and the characteristics of FNS asphalt aggregate, along with the impact of CR, were evaluated through the mix design process. RESULTS : CR is found to be suitable with a size of 30 mesh, and the optimal usage amount is determined to be 1±0.1% of the mixture weight, considering dense grade asphalt mixture. Volumetric design considering the swelling characteristics of CR is necessary, and a mixing design with a consistent tendency can be achieved only when an appropriate VMA is secured. CONCLUSIONS : The mix design for FNS-R asphalt mixture requires an increase of approximately 1% in VMA compared to conventional dense-graded asphalt mixtures to accommodate the swelling of CR. Additionally, FNS-R asphalt exhibits improved resistance to rutting comparable to modified asphalt and meets quality standards, including stripping resistance.

Sewerage age more rapidly than other facilities, leading to the destruction of the pipeline. Therefore, the replacement of old sewer pipes through long-term construction is costly. In order to solve this problem, this study investigated the ferronickel based sewer pipe with improved chemichal resistance and durability from concrete rigidity pipe. ABAQUS was used as the finite element analysis program and the load was calculated by the method given in the sewage facility standard. Therefore, the results of this study can be referenced in the design and construction of sewer pipes.

급속공사 현장에 사용되는 속경성 보수모르타르의 내구성능 증진을 위해 사용재료의 물리적 성능을 평가하였다. 이를 위해 염화물 확산 억제 성능을 보유한 페로니켈 수쇄슬래그 잔골재와 급결제, EVA계 폴리머를 모르타르에 치환시켜 급결성능과 기초적 성능을 평가하였다. 그 결과 FNS잔골재 및 RS잔골재 사용에 따른 압축강도, 휨강도, 부착강도가 증가되었다. 속경성 폴리머 모르타르의 염화물 이온 촉진시험의 결과 FNS를 50%이하 사용 시 재령 7일에서 재령 28일간 염화물 억제 성능이 유지되었으며, FNS잔골재 및 RS잔골재 사용에 따른 내구성 저하는 발견되지 않았으나, 건축 및 토목용 대체골재로 사용하는데 경제성 및 장기 내구성에 대한 추가 검토가 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

This paper evaluates the chemical resistance of mortar according to mixing ratios by using ferronickel slag fine powder which is an industrial by - product and various admixtures. The test results showed that the chlorine ion penetration resistance was the best when the ferronickel slag fine powder and gypsum were used as the admixture. The chemical erosion resistance was highest when ferronickel slag, quicklime, gypsum and calcium chloride were combined.

The amount of ferro-nickel slag powder produced by the Fe-Ni industry has grown in conjunction with the increase in demand for stainless steel materials. In this study, we investigated the effects of ferro-nickel slag powder on the flow, strength, and microstructure of polymer mortar. Ferro-nickel slag powder was used to replace CaCO3 at ratios of 0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% by volume. The flow and the compressive and flexural strength of the polymer mortar were measured, and both scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and hot resistance testing were performed. The test results indicate that the flow of the polymer mortar with more than 25% CaCO3 replacement decreased as the ferro-nickel slag powder content increased. The compressive strength of the polymer mortar mixes with ferro-nickel slag powder was relatively higher than that of the control mix. From the results of the hot resistance test, the strength improved compared with that before the test and increased as the powder replacement ratio was increased.
