This paper discusses the development of mixtures for silica fume as a stabilization/solidification agent and a binder for industrial wastewater residue containing organic and heavy metal contaminants. The UCS (unconfined compressive strength) gradually increased to 66.7% as the silica fume content increased to 15%. The leaching of TOC (total organic carbon) and chromium decreased as more OPC (Ordinary Portland Cement) was substituted with the silica fume. When a mixture had 5% silica fume, it retained about 85% TOC, and chromium leached out 0.76 mg-Cr/g-Cr in acidic solution. Also, microstructural studies of the solidified analysis showed that the silica fume caused an inhibition to the ettringite formation which did not contrilbute to setting but coated the cement particles and retarded the setting reactions. The results indicated that the incorporation of silica fume into the cement matrix minimized the detrimental effects of organic materials on the cement hydration reaction and the contaminant leachability.

In this study, the carbonation characteristic of highly flowable HVFAC with silica fume content was reported. As results, it appeared that when the silica fume content was $10{\sim}20kg/m^3$, the fludity and dynamic stability were highly improved. And the carbonation coefficient increases exponentially with increasing silica fume content.

Approximately 80% of the mines are vacated or abandoned mines and are mostly left without suitable environmental treatment facilities. In the area around the abandoned mine site, problems such as drainage of acidic city drainage and leakage of leachate occur, and ground subsidence caused by this can cause a safety accident due to sink hole occurrence. In this study, flow, compressive strength, water uptake, pore and hydration characteristics were investigated to investigate the basic properties of liner and cover material based on the replacement ratio of nano silica and silica fume in the existing blast - furnace slag fine powder. As a result, as the substitution ratio of nano silica and silica fume increased, the flow and compressive strength of nano silica specimens increased and the absorption rate decreased. In the case of pore characteristics, the amount of pores decreased as the substitution ratio of nano silica and silica fume increased. Especially, the capillary porosity of 10-1,000 nm diameter decreased. Ray diffraction analysis and SEM measurement showed that the peak positions of the hydration products were almost the same when compared with the 5% alternative test samples of Plain and silica fume.

The objectives of this study is replaced Silicafume with Metakaolin that is used to lightweight concrete to better performance. So, this study made high-performance lightweight concrete using Metakaolin and characteristics of the fundamental properties and chloride ion diffusion. Consequently, it is compressive strength and chloride ion penetration resistance is lower than lightweight concrete using Silicafume, the performance of compressive strength contrast Silicafume is about 88 to 95%. Also, this study got a content result because the chloride ion penetration resistance showed the performance in around 80 to 90%. As a result, this study insist that replacement ratio of Metakaolin is suitable for 10 to 15%.Silicafume and Metakaolin have similar characteristics. In addition, it is similar to the performance of alternative materials is possible.

Metakaolin is a cementitious material for producing high-strength concrete. This material is now used as substitute for silica-fume. In this paper, we did the mechanical and durability test such as compressive/tensile/flexural strength test, chloride ion diffusion, chemical attack and repeated freezing and thawing, carbonation test. In the mechanical tests, 10~15% for binder is optimum substitute rate. And, in the chloride ion diffusion test, according to the increase of substitute of metakaolin & silica-fume for binder, the diffusion coefficient was more reduced. In the chemical attack test, by the filler effect of fine powder such metakaolin and silica-fume, the resistance is more excellent than normal concrete. In the other durability test, the concrete using metakaolin also compared with those of silica-fume substitute concrete. Through these tests, we recognized that metakaolin can be used as a substitute for silica-fume.

Existing porous concrete has problems with reduction of strength due to freezing and thawing and exfoliation of aggregate at joints. In this study, a method for increasing strength and durability of porous concrete by using fine aggregate, silica-fume and high-range water-reducing agent was proposed by laboratory tests. Mixing ratio between silica-fume (10%) and fine aggregate (0%, 7%, 15%) was selected as a major test factor, and laboratory tests for compressive strength, flexural strength, permeability coefficient, porosity, freezing and thawing were conducted. Compressive strength and flexural strength were increased as the mixing ratio of fine aggregate was increased. However, permeability and freezing-thawing resistance were decreased due to reduction of porosity. Therefore, the ratio of fine aggregate should be limited to increase strength and durability of the porous concrete, while the mixing ratio of silica-fume should be over 10%.

It's important to study about suitable substitutional material of expensive silica fume because it used widely for silica fume as a high-strength mortar binding agent. The main purpose of this study is to check which is the most efficient binder for the expensive silica fume's alternative material. And this study also present basic data about to make high-strength mortar when we use alternative material instead of silica fume through research outcome. Also writers analzed flow properties respectively, so it was founded out the substitutional goods fare like meta-kaolin, HMBA which are less expensive than silica fume because they are in domestic enough.

본 논문은 초고강도콘크리트의 폭렬현상을 연구해 보고자 실리카흄 유무와 PP섬유의 혼입량을 변수로 하여 공시체와 벽체의 폭렬현상을 관찰한 후 변수가 초고강도콘크리트에 어떠한 영향을 주는지를 실험적으로 규명하는 것을 목적으로 하였다. KS F 2257 화재온도이력곡선을 30분 적용하여 콘크리트의 초기 폭렬특성을 실험적으로 검토하였다. 그 결과 공시체의 경우 압축강도가 100 MPa 초고강도콘크리트의 경우에는 실리카흄 여부와 PP섬유 혼입량이 폭렬억제에 관계되는 주요 인자인 것을 알 수 있었으며, 벽체의 경우에는 벽체 시험체의 부분 가열 및 전면 가열 실험을 실시했다. 폭렬 최대 깊이, 시간, 소리 발생 회수를 비교하면 부분 가열이 전체 가열에 비해 폭렬이 빠르고 깊게 발생하는 것으로 나타났다.
