The purpose of this study is to investigate the optimum conditions of dispersion and strength to maximize the mechanical properties of woody cellulose nano–crystal (CNC). As a dispersing method, ultrasonic dispersing machine and magnetic stirrer were used as the mechanical dispersion method. The mixing ratio of cellulose nano-crystals (CNCs) was 0.2% and the dispersion time was 10 minutes. Steam curing was carried out for 6, 24 and 48 hours. Based on the experimental results, we will propose source technology regarding CNC for construction materials.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the flexural performance of a SHCC (Strain Hardening Cementitious Composites) panel which was manufactured by steam curing method for precast slab system. From the bending test result, it was found that the SHCC panel showed approximately 7.32 MPa of maximum flexural strength, 58 mm of mid-span deflection appearing excellent strain hardening behavior and multiple micro cracks between bending moment section of the specimen.
