When diatomite powder was used as an admixture in mortar, its effects on the mortar strength was examined by experimental tests. For the tests, 4 kinds of commercially available diatomite powder were purchased ; one non-calcined product, one calcined product, and flux-calcined product two. The compressive and flexural strength of the mortar according to the increase of added amount of calcined diatomite powder increased at all test ages(7, 28, and 56 days). However, the use of non-calcined diatomite powder worsened the fluidity of mortar severely and that caused much more required water content. And flux-calcined product did not show useful effect on the mortar strength.

Recently, the polymer is used as an admixture in the repair mortar, which contains various admixtures and mineral admixtures. In this study, the fresh and mechanical properties of repair mortar influenced by the types of polymers(classified as E.V.A.) and the range of polymer ratio were investigated. It was found that with increasing the ratio of polymer, mechanical properties(compressive strength, flexural strength, adhesive strength) of repair mortar is improved and drying shrinkage is increased.

In this study, the various performance of dry cement mortar for Korean floor heating system depending on water-to-dry mortar ratios (W/DM) applied in project site was evaluated. According to the experiment conducted, the importance of mixing water for dry cement mortar was revealed by resultant performance or quality of the dry cement mortar for floor finishing by changing W/DM controlled in project site by workers. As the general trend, the flow was increased, and the unit volume weight was decreased with increasing W/DM. Additionally, compressive strength and drying shrinkage were significantly influenced by W/DM. Hence, it can be stated that the adding water for dry cement mortar should be managed precisely since excessively increased W/DM for workability improvement can cause performance degradation of floor mortar with the failures such as excessive bleeding, and severe segregation during the fresh state. As a summary of the study, to achieve a desirable performance of dry cement mortar, approximately 20 % of W/DM can be suggested to be managed in project site.

The purpose of this study is to examine the effect on drying shrinkage of self-healing epoxy-modified mortars(EPMMs) using expansive admixtures. The EPMMs are prepared with polymer-binder ratios of 0 and 10%, and tested for drying shrinkage and pore structure analysis. As a result, regardless of the expansion and swelling agent content, the drying shrinkage of the EPMMs is remarkably decreased than that of unmodified mortars. Also, the pore size distribution of the EPMMs is moved to smaller size in comparison with unmodified mortars. In this study, the EPMM with expansive agent 7.5% and swelling agent 2.5% is recommended as a optimal mix proportion for reduction of drying shrinkage.

This study investigated the drying shrinkage and compressive strength properties of mortar by the blaine of ferro-nickel slag powder to estimate the applicability of ferro-nickel slag powder for cement replacement materials. As a test result, the blaine of ferro-nickel slag powder increased, the compressive strength increased and the shrinkage rate decreased.

In this study, effects of supplementary cementitious materials(fly ash, blast furnace slag and waste glass) on drying shrinkage of cement mortar were compared and evaluated. The results showed drying shrinkage of cement mortar using blast furnace slag and waste glass is larger than shrinkage due to capillary pressure, while using fly ash is smaller.

A problem arose about the lack of strength of dry mortar for flooring. To solve the problem of lack of strength, a high-strength dry mortar was applied. However, problems arose about the increase in the amount of cracks. It is necessary to analyze the causes of the increase in the amount of cracking in high-strength dry mortar and take countermeasures.
