The maturity concept is based on the fact that concrete gains strength with time as a result of the cement hydration and, thus the strength of concrete is related to the degree of hydration of the cement in concrete. The rate of hydration, as in any chemical reaction, depends primarily on the concrete temperature during hydration. Therefore, the aim of the study is to investigate of the correlation between strength of high-strength concrete and maturity that is expressed as a function of an integral of the curing period and temperature.

Converter slag was reduced and modified with the addition of 5~10 weight percent of $SiO_2$, $Al_2O_3$ and $SiO_2+Al_2O_3$. which was water quenched and used as a cement additives. Additive was mixed from 10 to 30 weight percent with ordinary portland cement and made 9 kinds of mixed cement. Compressive strength of mixed cement mortar was tested md compared with com pressive strength of ordinary portland cement mortar. Effect of hydration reaction on the compressive strength of cement mortar was investigated by means of x-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy.

This study investigated the fluidity, heat of hydration, setting time, strength development, and characteristics of hydration and pozzolanic reactions of high-strength high-volume ground granulated blast-furnace slag(GGBFS) blended cement pasts with the water-to-binder ratio of 20% by experiments, and analyzed the effects of the replacement ratio and fineness of GGBFS on the hydration and pozzolanic reaction. The results show that, in the high-strength mixtures with low water-to-binder ratio, the initial hydration is accelerated due to the "dilution effect" which means that the free water to react with cement increases by the replacement of cement by GGBFS, and thus, strengths at from 3 to 28 days were higher than those of plain mixtures with ordinary Portland cement only. Whereas it was found that the long term strength development is limited because the hydration reaction rates rapidly decreases with ages and the degree of pozzolanic reaction is lowered due to insufficient supply of calcium hydroxide according to large replacement of cement by GGBFS. Also, the GGBFS with higher fineness absorbs more free water, and thus it decreases the fluidity, the degree of hydration, and strength. These results are different with those of normal strength concrete, and therefore, should be verified for concrete mixtures. Also, to develop the high-strength concrete with high-volume of GGBFS, the future research to enhance the long-term strength development is needed.

High-performance concrete (HPC), which is particularly sensitive to self-desiccation, is required to be durable even in severe environmental conditions, i.e. costal area, cold district, etc. However, in recent years, some attention was particularly given to cracking sensitivity of high performance concrete at early age. It has been argued and demonstrated experimentally that such concrete undergoes autogenous shrinkage due to self-desiccation at early age under restrained condition, nd, as a result, internal tensile stress may develop, leading to micro cracking and macro cracking. This shrinkage-introduced crack produces a major serviceability problem for concrete structures. One possible method to reduce cracking due to autogenous shrinkage is the addition of expansive additive. Tests conducted by many researches have shown the beneficial effects of addition of expansive additive for reducing the risk of autogenous shrinkage-introduced cracking. However, the research on hydration model of expansion additive has been hardly researched up to now. This paper presents a study of the hydration model of Ettringite-Gypsum type expansive additive. As a result of comparing forecast values with experiment value, proposed model is shown to expressible of hydration of expansive additive.

원자력발전소의 2차 냉각계통 제염 공정인 EPRI/SGOG 공정에서는 EDTA를 제염제로 사용하고 있다. EDTA는 수용액 상에서는 20$0^{\circ}C$까지 안정하며 제염후 존재하는 유리 EDTA (EDTA-2NH$_4$)는 시멘트 수화반응에 의해 생성되는 Ca이온과 결합하여 EDTA-Ca 착이온이 형성된다. 따라서 CSH(Calcium Silicate Hydrate)겔의 형성을 억제함으로써 시멘트 경화반응을 지연시킨다. 현재 우리나라에서는 EDTA가 함유한 제염폐액의 처리방법의 미결정으로 인하여 자체 저장하고 있으나 고화체의 최종 처분조건을 만족하며 감용률을 최대화 할 수 있는 처리방법이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 유리 EDTA가 소석회의 발생을 억제시켜 경화반응에 영향을 주는 점을 고려하여 유리 EDTA 용액에 소석회로 전처리 하여 시멘트 고화한 고화체의 물성시험을 수행하였다. 연구결과 EDTA와 소석회 반응 몰비가 1이 되게 전처리할 경우 시멘트에 대한 물의 배합비는 27%이상이 되어야 하며, 유리 EDTA 함량이 20wt%인 용액에서 폐액/시멘트/소석회비가 33.4/65/1.6일때 최대의 감용률을 나타내는 건전한 고화체의 조성비를 얻었다.

We tested the limestone sludge produced in Pohang Iron & Steel Co., Ltd. as a filler powder for the effective use of portland cement. Hydration process was investigated by measuring the hydration rate, the amounts of non-evaporable water and compressive strength of cement-limestone sludge paste prepared by mixing limes-tone sludge with cement. The results obtained in this study can be summarized as follows: 1. There is no significant difference between the cases of adding up to 10% limestone sludge and those of unmixed cement system. However the reaction rate increases in the 5% limestone sludge system(due to the effects of fine). 2. The compressive strength increases proportionally with increasing the measured amount of non-evaporable water, Adding 5% limestone sludge also increases the strength a little higher, and the compressive strength and calcium silicate hydrates. In the case of the mixed limestone sludge, $2\theta$=$11.7^{\circ}$ peak appears in the samples of 28 days hydration. This peak indicted the presence of calcium carboaluminate hydrate. Although limestone sludge is generally regarded as a inert materials, some kinds of cement can produce a calcium carboaluminate by reacting with aluminate in cement pastes.

For the enhancement of the concrete durability, we developed high - durable portland cement (ACTPC) by physical treatment of ordinary portland cement with asphalt and carbon black. In this research, the hydration reaction characteristics of ACTPC were studied by using SEM, X-Ray, Conduction Micro Calolimeter etc. When the ACTPC is mixed with water, it is believed the asphalt films on cement particles suppress the early stage of hydration reactions of cements, because the films hinder the contact with water and the elusion of soluble ions from particles. But the carbon blacks on the cement particles accelerated the hydration reactions of cement after a while, because the micro particles can be used as seed crystals in $CaO-SiO_2-H_2O$ gel formation.
