The purpose of this study is the basic research of self-compacting concrete using Alkali-Activated Slag (AAS) binder in order to emphasize the durability of structures and facilitate casting the fresh concrete in field. The AAS binder emitted low carbon dioxide ($CO_2$) is eco friendly material of new concept because AAS products not only emit little $CO_2$ during production but also reuse the industrial by-products such as ground granulated blast-furnace slag (GGBS) of the steel mill. Until now, almost of domestic and foreign research are using Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) for self-compacting concrete, and also, nonexistent research about AAS. The self-compacting concrete must get the performance of flowability, segregation resistance, filling and passing ability. Nine concrete mixes were prepared with the main parameter of unit amount of binder (400, 500, 600 $kg/m^3$) and 3 types of water-binder (W/B) ratio. The results of test were that fresh concretes were satisfied with flowability, segregation resistance, and filling ability of JSCE. But the passing ability was not meet the criteria of EFNARC because of higher viscosity of AAS paste than OPC. This high viscosity of AAS paste enables the manufacturing of self compacting concrete, segregation of which does not occur without the using of viscosity agent. It is necessary that the development of high fluidity AAS binders of higher strength and the study of better passing ability of AAS concrete mixes in order to use self compacting AAS concrete in field.

Concrete made with ground granulated blast-furnace slag(GGBS) has many advantage, including improved durability, workability and economic benefits. GGBS concrete is that its strength development is considerably slower under standard 20℃ curing conditions than that of portland cement concrete, although the ultimate strength is higher for same water-binder ratio. GGBS is not therefore used in application where high early age strength is required. However, hydration of GGBS is much more sensitive to temperatures, the strength development of GGBS concrete is significantly enhanced.

The paper study on the mechanical properties of reactive powder concrete using copper slag. A change in the replacement ratio s of copper slag was measured compressive strength and slump flow. As a results, slump flow using copper slag tend to increase slump flow with replacement ratio. As the concrete with a replacement ratio of copper slag up to 30% was found to have a compressive strength superior to that of plain.

Development of the construction industry generally exhausts natural aggregate. Hence it is problem to the lack of supply and quality deterioration, so the resource saving and protection of environment is made an effort through recycling by-product. This study presents that fundamental properties of concrete which used cooper slag as alternate sand of low fineness modulus and plan of cooper slag as concrete aggregate. Testing factors are concrete's slump, air contents, unit weight and compressive strength. The results of this study are as follows; (1) Concrete slump is generally satisfied with the condition but is inferior to the others in substitution rates 30%. Also air contents are 3.1-4.1% and go up according to increase substitution rate. (2) Unit weight increase in 1.1% as the mixing ratio of cooper slag argument 10%. (3) compressive strength of cooper slag concrete is similar to plain and especially higher 11-15% in W/C 45%, 50%. So it seems that aggregate mixed cooper slag is suitable to low water-cement ratio mixture.

The purpose of this experimental research is to produce the super-workable concrete using ordinary portland cement, blast-furnace slag lowder, and fly ash respectively, and investigate mechanical properties of super-workable concrete. For this purpose, after production of super-workable concrete for different unit weights of binder and percentages of fine aggregate, optimum mixing proportion of them was determined, and then mechanical properties of super-workable concrete such as static modulud of elasticity as well as compressive, tensile and flexural strength were tested and analyzed. Also, the mechanical performances of super-workable concrete were compared with those of high-strength concrete has an excellent mobility, compactability and segregation-resistance, but the strength of super-workable concrete is somewhat lower than that of high-strength concrete with equal mixing proportions of concrete.

In this study, we considered the influence on segregation resistance at the time of substitution of FA and BS, which are substance admixtures of high fluidity concrete. According to the research results, EIS, which is an index of segregation in high fluidity concrete replacement, showed a low value, and the composition also showed a higher value than OPC. Therefore, it is confirmed that the resistance to segregation at the time of admixture replacement of high fluidity concrete is improved.

The aim of the research is to evaluate the influence of various replacing ratios of supplementary cementitious materials(SCMs) such as fly ash(FA), blast furnace slag(BS), and both FA and BS on general properties including segregation resistance as a powder based high fluidity concrete of normal strength grade with water-to-cement ratio 0.40. Specifically, by replacing the SCMs with low density powders, it was assessed that the decreased segregation resistance due to the decreased viscosity by J-ring test. As a result of the experiment, from the general test, the mixtures with SCMs showed increased segregation resistance by increased viscosity as the references, while some segregation was shown from J-ring test due to the decreased density of fresh state mixture related with the capacity of delivering coarse aggregate.

In this paper, as part of a study for carbon neutrality, the quality properties of quaternary component high-fluidity concrete, which significantly replaced up to 80 % of the cement usage by using three industrial by-products, were evaluated. As a result of the evaluation, even if a large amount of industrial by-products were replaced by more than 80 % of the amount of cement used, it was possible to obtain quality that satisfies the target performance in all concrete mix. In the case of flow properties, mechanical properties, and durability, compared to the existing standard concrete mix, the performance tends to decrease, but it is judged that the performance above the required performance level can be satisfied. When considered comprehensively, the quaternary component High-Fluidity Concrete with a large mixing amount of fine powder of blast furnace slag showed relatively good performance.

The purpose of this study is to present basic data for developing concrete with EMP shielding as the structure materials when constructing an EMP shielded building structure. In order to use metal-based recycled aggregates with excellent conductivity and easy procurement for EMP shielding concrete, an evaluation of the stability evaluation and EMP shielding performance was performed. Through the stability evaluation, it was found that the coarse aggregate stability criterion was satisfied, but the oxidized slag did not satisfy the fine aggregate stability criterion, the oxidized slag is not satisfied. In addition, as a result of fresh concrete, the workability is increased and the air volume is decreased. The compressive strength is increased due to the high density and coarse granularity of the recycled aggregates, which increased the cement paste and adhesion, thereby increasing the compressive strength. The results of an EMP shielding test show that aggregates with high shielding performance are electronic arc furnace(EAF) Oxidizing Slag and Cooper Slag. The shielding performance is expected to increase if the average particle size of aggregate is small or uniformly distributed.
