Recently, researches on High-Volume Fly ash Cement(HVFC), which is replacing high portion of cement to fly ash, have been actively conducted to reduce $CO_2$ formation. Though HVFC has various advantages, low strength development in early ages is pointed out as the biggest problem in the application of fly ash. In order to overcome such limitations, this study investigated the hydration and compressive strength characteristics of HVFC paste depending on the fly ash content with the mixing ratio varying from 0 to 80 %. Experimental results show that the HVFC paste with low water-binder ratio can overcome the limitation of low compressive strength at early ages. Also, from the result of heat flow delay, 50 % of fly ash weight ratio was the critical point of the filler effect.

This study considerated reject ash, wastes of coal-fired power plants, to use mineral admixtures for cement. The pozzolan activity selected the fineness of the efficient reject ash through comparison and it compared to the fly ash that are widely used for concrete mixed material. Cement composites was prepared replacing of slag cement by fineness reject ash and fly ash, and properties of cement composites was tested by paste(setting time, fluidity, instrumental analysis) and mortar(compressive strength). Instrumental analysis results showed hydration reaction of fineness reject ash was not different from fly ash, but had more dense micro structures. Results of physical properties showed fineness reject ash shorten setting time, increased compressive strength compared by fly ash. Therefore using fineness reject ash with $6,000cm^2$/g to concrete mineral admixtures or cement composites was might be possible and could contribute to improve properties of concrete.

In general, various factors such as grain size, chemical composition, amorphous amount, amorphous Si and Al content of fly ash affect the reaction with cement. In this study, we investigate the effect of fly ash particle characteristics on compressive strength. The standard sand was pulverized to a particle size similar to that of fly ash and the compressive strength was measured by blending with the cement as in fly. Using the measured compressive strength results, strength enhancement by cement hydration reaction and strength enhancement by particle filling effect were confirmed. Strength increment by pozzolanic reaction of fly ash was calculated by using the compressive strength results of mortar substituted with standard powder. As a result of comparison between compressive strengths and the particle characteristics of fly ash, the blaine showed a weak correlation with the compressive strength and the PI(Pozzolanic Index) showed good correlation with the 10% penetration diameter(D10) and the 50% Respectively. Therefore, it is expected that PI will be a good means to evaluate the fly ash characteristics together with the chemical characteristics of fly ash.

In this study, the characteristics of the cement mortar replaced with fly ash and ground granulated blast furnace slag generated during circulating fluidized bed combustion method and pulverized coal combustion process were investigated. As a result of the study, when mixed with circulating fluidized bed combustor fly ash and pulverized coal combustion fly ash, it is advantageous not only in terms of strength development but also in terms of durability. The circulating fluidized bed combustor fly ash contributes to the improvement of initial reactivity, and the pulverized coal combustion fly ash is involved in long-term strength development through pozzolanic reaction. Therefore, it can be seen that the mixed use of circulating fluidized bed combustor fly ash and pulverized coal combustion fly ash acts as a complementary factor for cement mortar substituted with ground granulated blast furnace slag.

The prediction model is proposed to estimate the variation of compressive strength of fly ash concrete with aging. After analyzing the experimental result with the model, the regression results are presented according to fly ash replacement content and water-cement ratio. Based on the regression results, the influence of fly ash replacement content and water-cement ratio on apparent activation energy was investigated. According to the analysis, the model provides a good estimate of compressive strength development of fly ash concrete with aging. As the fly ash replacement content increases, the limiting relative compressive strength and initial apparent activation energy become greater. The concrete with water-cement ratio smaller than 0.40 shows that the limiting relative compressive strength and apparent activation energy are nearly constant according to water-cement ratio. But, the concrete with water-cement ratio greater than 0.40 has the increasing limiting relative compressive strength and apparent activation energy with increasing water-cement ratio.

Several researches on high volume fly ash concrete have been conducted to investigate its fundamental material properties such as slump, strength and durability and however, research on the structural behavior of bond strength is essential for the application of this high volume fly ash concrete to structural members because of the necessity of reinforcement. But the exact design code for application and researches on the bond behavior of high volume fly ash concrete lack yet. To achieve such a goal, this paper evaluates experimentally the bond behavior of high volume fly ash concretes by direct pull-out test and compares between the current test results and existing research results. By the test results, it is shown that the bond behavior of high volume fly ash concrete is similar to that of general concrete. And by the comparison between test and existing research, it is shown that bond stress of high volume fly ash concrete is underestimated, as the embedment length gets longer.

미연탄소의 함유량이 많은 플라이애시를 사용한 시멘트의 경우 공기량이 저하되며, 슬럼프의 확보를 위해 AE제와 같은 혼화제의 사용을 요구한다. 이러한 미연탄소를 제거하기 위해 저온 플라즈마를 이용한 표면 개질에 관한 연구가 진행되었으나, $O_2$를 사용하는 플라즈마의 경우 $O_3$를 생성하는 문제가 발생한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 플라즈마를 대신에 아크방전을 이용하여 플라이애시 내의 미연탄소를 제거해 표면을 개질하는 기술에 관한 기초적 연구를 진행하였다. 그 결과, 아크방전을 통해 플라이애시의 표면을 개질할 시 플라이애시의 물리적 특성이 개선되며, 이를 이용한 시멘트경화체의 강도도 향상되는 것을 알 수 있었다.

In this study, characteristics of Mongolian fly ash and the possibility of its use as a cement additive through grinding process were examined. Mongolian fly ash was larger than domestic fly ash and less spherical. The CaO content of Mongolian fly ash was higher than domestic fly ash and the other components were similar. After vibratory milling, the mean particle size of fly ash decreased to $7.9{\mu}m$ and the blaine increased. When milled fly ash was mixed with cement, it showed the best compressive strength value at 60 min. These strength values were higher than OPC at all curing times.

Nowadays, circulating fluidized bed combustor(CFBC) boilers system that can reduce environmental pollution particles are widely used in electric power plants. But the fly ash generated from CFBC boilers has lower $SiO_2$ and higher MgO and $SO_3$ contents and also has free CaO inducing expansion and abrupt initial setting of concrete. Therefore, revised KSL5405 for CFBC fly-ash as well as pulverized coal combustion(PCC) is introduced in the concrete field. In this study, the chemical properties and mechanical properties of blended cements with PCC and CFBC fly-ash produced in Korea are analyzed. The blended cement with only CFBC fly ash shows a lower length change than OPC but a higher flow change ratio. The compressive strength of blended cement paste with PCC and CFBC fly ash is slightly greater than that of cement paste with only PCC fly-ash. Based on the results, CFBC flyash blended cement products should be used with PCC flyash to ensure the material stability and material properties.
