To improve the problem of strength reduction of unary and binary blended non-cement concrete that occur at room temperature, comparative analysis was conducted based on the slump and compressive strength properties of ternary blended non-cement concrete in which cement was replaced with silica fume, fly ash, and blast furnace slag, and the following conclusions were drawn. The ternary blended non-cement concrete showed higher compressive strength than binary binder concrete, and the slump reduction was less when 10% silica fume was mixed. In addition, the appropriate composition ratio range of each by-product was suggested according to slump and compressive strength level based on ternary diagram.

Ultra-high performance concrete and high ductile cementless composite are considered as promising construction materials because those exhibits higher performance in terms of high strength and high ductility. The purpose of this study is to investigate experimentally the compressive strength and tensile behavior of ultra-high performance concrete and high ductile cementless composite. A series of experiments including density, compressive strength, and uniaxial tension tests were performed. Test results showed that the compressive strength and tensile strength of alkali-activated slag based high ductile cementless composite were lower than those of ultra-high performance concrete. However, the tensile strain capacity and toughness of alkali-activated slag based high ductile cementless composite were higher than those of ultra-high performance concrete. And it was exhibited that a high ductility up to 7.89% can be attainable by incorporating polyethylene fiber into the alkali-activated slag based cementless paste.

It has been well known that concrete structures exposed to chloride and sulfate attack environments lead to significant deterioration in their durability due to chloride ion and sulfate ion attack. The purpose of this experimental research is to evaluate the long-term durability against chloride ion and sulfate attack of the alkali activated cementless concrete replacing the cement with ground granulated blast furnace slag. For this purpose, the cementless concrete specimens were made for water-binder ratios of 40%, 45%, and 50%, respectively and then this specimens were cured in the water of $20{\pm}3^{\circ}C$ and immersed in fresh water, 10% sodium sulfate solution for 28, 91, 182, and 365 days, respectively. To evaluate the long-term durability to chloride ion and sulfate attack for the cementless concrete specimens, the diffusion coefficient for chloride ion and compressive strength ratio, mass change ratio, and length change ratio were measured according to the NT BUILD 492 and JSTM C 7401, respectively. It was observed from the test results that the resistance against chloride ion and sulfate attack of the cemetntless concrete were comparatively largely increased than those of OPC concrete irrespective of water-binder ratio.

최근 온실가스 감축과 기후변화 그리고 녹색성장에 대한 관심증대와 더불어 시멘트 분야의 연구 생산분야는 천연자원 사용량을 줄이고, 소성공정을 도입하지 않은 새로운 개념의 무기바인더가 다시 고개를 들고 있다. 다른 용어로는 비소성, 무시멘트 등으로 표현되기도 하는데, 광의의 개념으로 보면 알칼리 활성화제를 사용한 비소성 무기결합재인 지오폴리머가 바로 그것이다. 지오폴리머 결합재는 1957년 우크라이나의 토목공학회에서 개발한 알칼리 활성 슬래그시멘트에 기원을 두고 있고, 1970년대 말 프랑스의 다비도비치에 의해 지오폴리머라는 용어가 처음 사용되기 시작했다. 알칼리 활성 무기결합재(Alkali-activated inorganic binder)의 정의이다. Alkali-activated inorganic binder는 원래는 결합능력이 없던 재료에 대해서 Alkali-activating 용액을 첨가했을 때, 시멘트처럼 결합능력을 가지게 되는 모든 종류의 결합시스템을 말한다. 국내에도 이미 2000년 초부터 지오폴리머의 개념을 도입한 제품이 상업화되어 오랫동안 품질검증을 거쳐 안정성이 확인되고 있다. 최근에 다시 전남대가 그 동안의 연구성과를 발 빠르게 중소기업에 기술 이전하여 소위 무시멘트 시대에 진입하는 분위기이다. 지난 9월 동아에스텍(주)과 조인트벤처 설립을 위해 손을 잡았고, 사업화가 곧 진행될 것으로 보인다. 이를 계기로 국내에도 무시멘트회사가 본격적으로 등장하게 된 것이다. 따라서 본 고는 무시멘트의 개념을 잘 표현한 문헌으로 일본콘크리트공학 연차논문집, 2010년 1월호를 번역 요약 발췌한 것이다.

Cement zero concrete produced by alkali-activators and industrial by-products such as slag instead of cement, enables to solve the environmental pollution problems provoked by the exhaustion of natural resources and energy as well as the discharge of carbon dioxide. However, researches on the cement zero concrete are still limited to material studies and thus, study on the structural behavior of relevant members is essential to use the cement zero concrete as structural materials. This paper aims to evaluate experimentally and analytically the flexural behavior of RC beams using 50 MPa alkali activated slag concrete. To achieve such a goal, flexural tests on three types of RC beam specimens were conducted. A nonlinear analysis model is proposed using the modulus of elasticity and stress-strain relationship of alkali activated slag concrete. The analysis results obtained by the proposed model agree well with the experimental results, which could verify the validity of the proposed model.

This paper reports test results to assess the influence of superplasticizers and different admixture on the flow and compressive strength development of cementless mortar using developed hwangtoh binder. Test specimens were classified into four groups: series for I the mixing ratio of superplasticizers, series II for a kind and replacement level of admixtures according to the variation of water/hwangtoh binder ratio, series III for the specific surface area and replacement level of ground granulated blast-furnace slag and series IV for the replacement level of powered superplasticizer agent developed to improve slump loss of concrete. The proper replacement level of each admixture is proposed for enhancement the flow and compressive strength of the hwangtoh binder mortar.

Several researches on cement zero concrete using alkali-activators have been conducted to investigate its fundamental material properties such as slump, strength and durability, however, research on the structural behavior of relevant members involving the elastic modulus, stress-strain relationship is essential for the application of this cement zero concrete to structural members. In this paper the shear behavior of reinforced concrete beams using 50 MPa-alkali activated slag concrete was experimentally evaluated. To achieve such a goal, six reinforced concrete beam specimens were fabricated and their shear behaviors were observed. The maximum difference between test results and analysis results in crack shear stress for beam specimens without stirrups is 31%, while that for beam specimens with stirrup is 15%. Furthermore, it is also found that the shear strength of alkali activated slag concrete is by 22~57% greater than the nominal shear strength calculated by design code, implying that shear design equations would provide conservative results on the safety side.

With an increase of concrete buildings as result of rapid industrialization, Remicon sludge, which is a strong alkaline construction waste, should be neutralized to prevent damage to a natural environment, and the cost of the neutralization processing is increasing as well. Accordingly, this study investigates the mechanical properties of cementless concrete which is processed with recycled water and industrial byproducts in order to determine the possibility of re-using sludge, recycled sand, and gravel which are contained in recycled water.
