The reasons why the hardened cement paste substituted the domestic fly ash are better in resisting against sulfate or calcium chloride attack the one used portland cement are as follows. First, because the fly ash could restrict the gypsum creation in resisting against sulfate attack, the $C_3A$ hydrates were not inversed to ettringite. Second, in the case of the, hardened cement paste immersed in calcium chloride solution, the fly ash was effective in resisting the deteorioration resulting from microcrack in surface and inner composition by the ionization of calcium chloride solution.

It has been continuously noted that many sewage treatment concrete structures have deteriorated due to sulfur-oxidizing bacteria. There have been many reports on approaches to protecting concrete from this bacteria corrosion. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the inhibition of growth of a sulfur-oxidizing bacterium by a antifungal agent such as $NiSO_4{\cdot}6H_2O$, and the characteristics of polymer cement mortar using nickel type antifungal agent. First, we developed antifungal agents using metal nickel and $NiSO_4{\cdot}6H_2O$ to inhibit the growth of thiobacillus novellus, which is the sulfur-oxidizing bacteria in concrete. Then, ordinary cement mortar and polymer cement mortar using nickel type antifungal agent with various polymer-cement ratios, and antifungal agent content were prepared, and were tested for the antifungal adding effect, compressive and flexural strengths, expansion and leaching of nickel ion. From the test results, it was confirmed that the adding of an antifungal agent has an inhibition effect on the growth of sulfur-oxidizing bacteria at antifungal agent contents of 20 mM or more. In addition, the strengths and expansion of polymer cement mortars are not significantly changed by the addition of an antifungal agent. Therefore, the nickel-type antifungal agent developed in this study can be used to improve the durability of reinforced concrete hume pipe in the construction industry.

Critical chloride content for corrosion initiation is a crucial parameter in determining the durability and integrity of reinforced concrete structures, however, the value is still ambiguous. Most of the studies reporting critical threshold chloride content have involved the experimental measurement of the average amount of the total chloride content at arbitrary time. The majority of these researches have not dealt with this issue combined with carbonation of concrete, although carbonation can significantly impact on critical threshold chloride content. Furthermore, the studies have tried to define the critical chloride content within the scope of their experimental concrete mix proportion at arbitrary time. However, critical chloride content for corrosion initiation is known to be affected by a lot of factors including cement content, type of binder, chloride binding, concentration of hydroxyl ions, and so on. It is necessary to define the unified formulation to express the critical chloride content for various mix proportions of concrete. The purpose of this study is to establish an analytical formulation of the critical chloride content of concrete. In this formulation, affecting factors, such as mix proportion, environment, chemical evolution of pore solution with elapsed time, carbonation of concrete and so on are taken into account. Based on the Gouda's experimental results, critical chloride content is defined as a function of $[Cl^-]$ vs. $[OH^-]$ in pore solution. This is expressed as free chloride content with mass unit to consider time evolution of $[OH^-]$ content in pore solution using the numerical simulation programme of cementitious materials, HYMOSTRUC. The result was compared with other experimental studies and various codes. It is believed that the approach suggested in this study can provide a good solution to determine the reasonable critical chloride content with original source of chloride ions, for example, marine sand at initial time, and sea water penetration later on.

The effect of silane coupling agents on the water stability of HAC/PVA based MDF cement composites which were modified with urethane and epoxy resin were studied as a function of the functional groups and addition amount of silane coupling agent. According to the composition of polymer matrix the silanes with different functional groups showed the different effectiveness. In case of the only PVA matrix the silane with vinyl functional group was more effective than other silanes. When the epoxy resin was added the silane of epoxy-methodxy group enhanced the flexural strength of dry and wet state more than other. In case of urethane-added MDF cement the silane of diamine group was effective and enhanced the water sta-bility fo MDF cement composite more and more as the addition amount of silane increased, Especially in case of warm-presed composite the effect of silane was enhanced By addition of 2wt% of silane with 야-amine group the flexural strength of urethane-added composites were enhanced by 20% more in dry state 40-70% in wet state in accord with the porosity analysis. The flexural strength of the poxy resin-added MDF cement composite was increased by addition of 1wt% and 2wt% silane of epoxy-methoxy group However the addition of 4wt% of silane decreased the flexural strength of dry and wet state by formation of closed pore in the polymer matrix.

다량의 점토 퇴적물로 구성된 연약지반은 대단히 큰 압축성과 낮은 강도, 높은 함수량등의 물리·역학적 특성을 갖는다. 이러한 기초지반으로서의 불리한 특성 때문에 이를 대상으로 하는 각종 토목건설공사에서는 지반개량이나 안정처리가 반드시 선행되어야 할 과제이다. 이를 위해 종래에는 샌드드레인, 페이퍼드레인 등의 물리적인 공법에 의한 지반개량이 주류를 이루었으나, 최근에는 생석회나 시멘트계 고화재를 이용한 화학적 안정 처리공법이 크게 주목을 받고 있어 이에 대한 연구가 활발한 상황이다. 본 연구는 연약 지반 안정처리에 대한 방안을 모색하기 위하여 김해 지역에 분포하는 점토 퇴적물을 대상으로 각종 광물재료를 이용한 반응실험을 통하여 반응생성물 조사와 압축강도시험 등을 행하여 그 결과를 검토하였다. 우선 연약지반의 고화에 이용 가능한 생석회, 석고, 플라이에쉬, 고분자폴리머, 시멘트 등을 사용하여 점토와 혼합한 고화실험을 행하였으며, 이에 대한 물성 및 반응생성물을 검토하였다. 이러한 각 재료를 점토에 혼합한 후 PVC관에 모울딩하여 양생시켜 실험하였다. 그 결과, 석고 및 소석회에 비하여 생석회의 경우가 비교적 큰 압축강도를 나타내고, 균열발생 빈도도 낮았다. 생석회의 경우에 Gehlenite, Hillebrandite 등의 생성물질이 검출되었다. 그러나 포틀란트 시멘트와 혼합한 경우가 강도가 가장 크게 나타났다. 반면에 고분자폴리머만 사용한 경우는 강도가 매우 낮았다. 따라서 시멘트를 일정 비율로 배합한 다른 재료를 첨가한 실험을 행하여 그 물성을 검토하였다 물질의 화학적인 특성을 고려하여 포졸란반응이 잘 일어날 수 있을 것으로 생각되는 여러 재료를 선정하여 많은 조합에 대한 실험을 행하였다. 생석회, 석고, 고령토, 규조토, 제올라이트 등의 여러 재료를 여러 조합으로 첨가하여 실험한 결과, 시멘트와 석고를 혼합한 것이 비교적으로 높은 압축강도를 나타내었다. 그리고 이러한 연구 결과를 바탕으로 연약점도의 고화에 최적인 조합과 배합비를 위한 실험을 재차 실시하였으며, 실험 후의 물성과 함께 반응생성물에 대한 검토도 행하여 그 결과를 발표하고자 한다.

This study focuses on the investigation of bond strength of magnesium potassium phosphate cement mortar(MKPC) according to moisture condition of substrate. Tensile bond test, shear bond test and interfacial bond test are adopted for evaluating the adhesion characteristics of MKPC to conventional cement mortar substrate. The main experimental variables are test methods and moisture levels of substrate. Because the moisture condition of the substrate may be critical to achieving bond, optimum moisture condition for a conventional concrete substrate has evaluated in this study. The results are as follows ; The effects of moisture condition at substrate into the bonding of MKPC are less different than polymer cement mortar and epoxy mortar. But the saturated and surface dry condition is the most appropriate moisture level among the considered, followed by saturated condition and wet condition. Thus, an adequate moisture level of substrate for MKPC is essential for good bond strength.

This research is related to 240MPa ultra-high strength concrete(UHSC) with extremely loss W/B ratio. For this development, High flow cement is mainly used which has a short reaction rate due to the high blaine and high early strength, which can make greater fluidity in case of very low W/C ratio. It made the best mixture using the mineral admixtures silica fume, slag powder and special admixture. For dispersibility and homogeneity of cement binder, cement of premix type is produced using omni-mixer. Moreover, it ensures the fluidity of ultra-high strength concrete(UHSC). For having a good fire performance, we made an experiment special coarse aggregate. As a result, we got 180MPa in case of water curing, 200MPa in case of steam curing and uniform UHSC of 240MPa in case of a special curing method.

In this study, the characteristics of chemical grouting, such as solidification, penetrability, were analyzed experimentally by grain size of grout materials and permeability, relative density of the ground. For evaluating applicability of grout material, solidification tests and permeability tests were peformed. From the results of the tests, effective solidification ratio and penetrability ratio of Micro Cement were 75% and 86% respectively when ground permeability was in the range of 10$^{-4}$ to 10$^{-2}$cm/sec. On the other hand, effective solidification ratio and penetrability ratio of Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) were both lower than 50%. When penetrability of grout material is needed for improvement of dam foundation and soft ground, application of Micro Cement is much superior to that of the other materials. The results of the grouting tests in the hydrodynamic ground show that the solidification effect of long gel-time grout material is excellent as injection pressure increases when groundwater velocity is relatively low. But when groundwater velocity is relatively high, the solidifcation effect of long gel-time grout material is very poor because most grout materials are outflowed.

In this study, physical properties and EMP shielding performance evaluation of cement paste according to the amount of milled carbon fiber was conducted to develop EMP shielding cement using carbon fiber. The length of the milled carbon fiber used was 100㎛, and it was used as a cement admixture because it showed a powdery form to the naked eye. As a result of the experiment, when 5% of the amount of cement was used, the milled carbon fiber was effective in compressive strength and EMP shielding, and the shielding effect did not increase when used beyond that. As a result of examining the EMP shielding performance according to the thickness of the specimen, the plain without milled carbon fiber had no effect of increasing the shielding rate according to the thickness. The shielding performance of the specimens using the milled carbon fiber increased as the thickness increased. Therefore, in order to increase the EMP shielding rate when comparing and evaluating the performance according to the amount of milled carbon fiber used and the thickness of the specimen, 5% of the milled carbon fiber used is optimal. In addition, the method of increasing the thickness is considered to be effective.
