PURPOSES : This study is to investigate the fundamental properties of limestone added cement concrete for application of pavement. METHODS : As the production of Portland cement causes environmental problems, engineers have sought more environment-friendly concrete construction materials. Limestone powder can be used for concrete as a partial replacement of Portland cement. One of the great applications of limestone powder added cement concrete might be a cement concrete pavement since the concrete pavement consumes massive quantity of Portland cement. Experimental variables were different replacement level of limestone powder by 0% to 25% with 5% increment. Before hardening of fresh concrete, setting time and plastic shrinkage characteristics were investigated in addition to other basic properties. Properties of hardened concrete included compressive, tensile and flexural strength as well as drying shrinkage. RESULTS : The addition of limestone powder did not significantly affect the properties of fresh concrete. Strength deceased as the replacement ratio increased and when the replacement ratio was greater than 10% decrease rate increased. CONCLUSIONS : It was found that the partial replacement of the limestone powder to cement in pavement materials can be positively considered as its mechanical properties show comparable performance to those normal concrete.

In this study, dry shrinkage was evaluated by adding limestone powder according to the substitution ratio to Engineered Cementitious Composite. The test method was carried out by KS F 2424, and it was confirmed that the drying shrinkage tends to increase slightly as the substitution ratio of the limestone fine powder increases.

This study was performed to evaluate compressive strength of Engineered Cementitious Composite(ECC) using limestone powder. In order to evaluate compressive strength, specimens were manufactured based on KS F 2403 Standard. From the test result, compressive strength of specimens using 10% and 20% limestone powder was lower than plain specimens.

Recently, there is comprehensive efforts to reduce greenhouse emissions in a global community. CO2 reduction can be expected using a limestone powder as a admixture in concrete. In this study, Rapid Freezing and Thawing test of concrete using a large amount of limestone powder was evaluated.

Recently, there are comprehensive efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in a global community. CO2 reduction effect can be expected when admixture contents improved with the use of limestone power, instead of clinker which is a main factor of CO2 gases. In this study, elapsed time change of concrete using limestone power was evaluated.

시멘트를 생산할 때 발생하는 이산화탄소로 인하여 콘크리트를 활용하는 건설산업의 친환경성이 문제시 되어가고 있는 실정이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 석회석미분말로 시멘트를 대체하는 기술의 기초연구로서 석회석미분말을 함유한 콘크리트의 내구특성에 관하여 특성을 파악하고자 하였다. 실험변수는 석회석미분말의 시멘트 치환률을 0%에서 25%까지 5%씩 중가하였으며 동결융해 저항성, 제설염 저항성 및 알칼리-실리카반응 저항성 등의 내구특성과 기초적인 경화특성 등을 분석하였다. 석회석미분말의 사용으로 인한 동결융해저항성, 제설제염 저항성 등의 영향은 거의 없는 것으로 나타났으며 또한 알카리-실리카반응성의 억제를 위하여도 긍정적으로 검토될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Limestone powder can be used for concrete as a partial replacement of Portland cement so that concrete becomes more environment-friendly construction material. One of the great applications of limestone powder added cement concrete might be a cement concrete pavement since the concrete pavement consumes massive quantity of Portland cement. However, it has been reported recently that Alkali-Silica Reaction (ASR) occurs on the cement concrete pavement causing a serious damage. This study investigates the resistance of limestone powder added cement mortar to ASR. The mortar used very high reactive silicious aggregate for accelerated ASR. Experimental procedures followed ASTM C 1260 and variables included different replacement levels of limestone powder in the mortar mix.

본 연구는 석회석미분말을 4단계(0, 10, 20 및 30%)로 대체한 모르타르 및 콘크리트의 내해수성을 평가하기 위하여 수행되었다. 내해수성 평가를 위하여 모르타르의 해수침식 저항성 및 콘크리트의 염소이온 침투저항성 실험을 각각 실시하였다. 실험결과에 의하면, 시멘트 경화체의 내해수성은 석회석미분말의 대체율에 의존적으로 나타났다. 다시 말해서, 석회석미분말을10% 대체한 모르타르 및 콘크리트는 대체적으로 OPC와 유사한 내해수성을 나타낸 반면, 석회석미분말의 대체율이 큰 모르타르 및 콘크리트의 내해수성은 OPC와 비교하여 현저하게 떨어지는 것으로 조사되었다.
