Recently, application case of the ultra rapid hardening concrete-polymer composite(URHCPC) are increasing to repair for the deterioration of pavement. But it is a major disadvantage that the main material is expensive and has environmental load. For these reasons, the development of the economic, eco-friendly materials is needed. Calcium Aluminate Composite (CAC), produced by rapid cooling of atomizing method with molten ladle furnace slag, is a material capable of improving the economic feasibility and reducing the environmental load of URHCPC. In this paper, the properties of CAC and gypsum mixed CAC (GC) as alternative materials of RSC according to the types of polymer dispersion were studied. The results were as follows; compressive strength, tensile strength, flexural strength, bonding strength and modulus of elasticity of the composites using CAC or GC showed higher values than those of plain proportion in 3 hour. In later age, they were at the same level as the general proportions. URHCPC using BPD as polymer dispersion had superior strength properties generally. But modulus of elasticity was the same level as the case of using a SBR latex. According to these results, CAC or GC can partially substituted for RSC to product the URHCPC. When URHCPC uses the BPD as the polymer dispersion, it can be improved performance.

In construction materials area, many research on polymer for cement-based materials have been conducted. In spite of these research, general research scope is limited to the normal strength range, and thus in this research, for both normal and high strength range mixtures, the strength and mechanical properties of high strength cement mortar incorporating Vinyle Acetate-Ethylene(VAE) type powder polymer are evaluated. As a result of experiment, in the case of high strength mixture, as the amount of VAE polymer addition was increased the compressive and flexural strengths were decreased while the tensile and bonding strengths were increased because of the formation of the polymer membrane inside of the mortar matrix.

Polymer cement slurry (PCS) is made from organic polymer dispersion and cement has good adhesion to steel, waterproofness and acid resistance due to being of polymer films formed in cement slurry. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the bond strength of coated rebar by polymer cement slurry made of EVA and ultra high-early strength cement. The test pieces are prepared with EVA polymer dispersion and ultra high-early strength cement having four types of polymer-cement ratios, four types of coating thicknesses and four curing ages, and tested for the bond strength test. From the test results, in general, bond strength of PCS-coated rebar is better than that of uncoated rebar and epoxy-coated rebar. It is also high bond strength at curing ages of 7-day, and coating thicknesses of $75{\mu}m$ and $100{\mu}m$. The maximum bond strength of PCS-coated rebar with ultra high-early strength cement and EVA at polymer-cement ratio of 80%, and coating thickness of $100{\mu}m$ is about 1.32 and 1.38 times respectively, the strength of uncoated rebar and epoxy-coated rebar. It is apparent that the curing age, coating thickness, type of polymer and cement are very important factors to improve the bond strength of PCS-coated rebar to cement concrete. We can have basic information that PCS-coated rebar with polymer-cement ratio of 80% or 100% and coating thickness of $100{\mu}m$ at curing age of 1-day can replace epoxy-coated rebar.

아직까지 우리나라에서 폴리머 시멘트 콘크리트가 콘크리트와 같이 광범위하게 사용되고 있는 것은 아니지만 건설재료로서의 사용이 증가하는 추세에 있다. 폴리머 콘크리트의 제조에는 결합재로서 물이나 시멘트가 전혀 사용되지 않고 수지(resin)만을 사용한다. 각종 수지가운데 많이 이용되고 있는 것은 에폭시 수지, 불포화 폴리에스테르 수지, 우레탄 수지, 퓨란 수지 등이 있다. 그러나 원료사정이 국가마다 다르기 때문에 폴리머 콘크리트의 결합재로 사용되는 액상수지 역시 차이가 있다. 우리나라의 경우는 에폭시수지, 불포화 폴리에스테르 수지 및 우레탄 수지가 주로 사용되고 있으며, 가까운 일본의 경우는 폴리머 콘크리트의 결합재로서 워커 빌리티, 저온경화성, 내후성 등이 우수한 메타크릴산 메틸도 사용되고 있다. 또한 폴리머 모르타르 및 콘크리트의 경화반응에 방해를 주지 않도록 충전재 및 골재 등은 건조시켜 함수율이 0.5 % 이하가 되도록 사용하고 있으나, 지금은 흡수제, 가교제 등의 혼화재료가 개발되어 함수율을 3% 까지 허용하고 있으며, 지금까지 불가능하게 생각되었던 폴리머 콘크리트에 대한 레디믹스트 콘크리트(레미콘) 개발도 흥미를 끌고 있다.(중략)
