With increasing underwater structure construction, there is high interest in offshore foundation and underwater grout and various study has been done in this area. For grout materials constructed underwater, it may be washed away by water or easily disturbed and material separation phenomenon during curing period always happens. As a result, it is difficult to ensure construction quality and this has a significant influence on the design strength of structure. In this study, to understand application effects of anti-washout admixture for the preplaced construction method, where grout is injected in monopile after filled with aggregates, laboratory tests on bleeding and compressive strength of anti-washout admixture were performed under various test conditions varying size of aggregate, water and cement ratio and admixture, and test results were compared and evaluated.

The purpose of this experimental research is to investigate the properties of workability and strength of the concrete containing admixtures such as silica fume, fly ash, ground granulated blast-furnace slag, and rice husk ash. For this purpose, the workability and the strength of the concrete containing each admixture were tested and analyzed according to the unit weight of binder and the replacement ratio of each admixture. As a result, considering their workability and strength, the existence of minimum binder weight and optimum replacement ratio of concrete containing admixture to plain concrete were obtained for each admixture.

일반적으로 동일한 배합에서 콘크리트의 강도를 증진시키는 방법중에서 혼화재를 넣는 방법이 일반적이다. 이는 첨가된 혼화재의 양만큼 생산비용이 증가하며, 본 실험에서 콘크리트 강도를 증진시키기 위해 사용한 자화수는 자석을 통과시켜 만든 물이며 제작방법 이 매우 간편하고 자석이라는 비소모성 및 무동력의 장치를 사용하여, 또한 화학물질을 사 용하지 않고 얻을 수 있다. 이때의 자화수는 외관상으로는 보통물과 아무런 차이가 없으며 무색무취이다. 즉 강력한 자장속에 보통 물을 통과시켜서 이온화된 자화수를 얻을 수 있을 것이다. 실례로 러시아 "샤프스쿠스크" 철근 콘크리트 제품공장에서는 자화수를 사용해서 매년 약 15%의 시멘트절약에 성공하고 있고, 모스크바의 철근콘크리트연구소에서 자주 자 화수의 전문회의가 열리며, 매번 좋은 결과를 서로 보고하고 있다고 한다. 본 실험에서는 자 화수에 의한 강도증진효과를 보기 위해서 동일배합에서 보통물과 자화수를 배합수로 하여 각각의 콘크리트 공시체를 제작해 압축강도를 비교하였다. 그 결과 보통물을 사용해 제작한 공시체 보다 4~13% 가량 강도증진효과를 보았다. 따라서 다른 혼화재를 사용하지 않고 오 직 자화수를 배합수로 하여 제작된 콘크리트 강도를 높임으로써, 동일한 배합강도를 얻기 위해서 보통물을 배합수로 제작된 콘크리트에 비해 시멘트 사용량을 줄일 수 있어 이에 따 른 경제적 효과를 얻을 수 있다고 본다. 이에 따라 본 연구는 여러 가지변수에 따라 자화수 가 콘크리트 강도증진에 어떠한 영향을 주는지를 알아보았다.는지를 알아보았다.

최근 들어 염해, 콘크리트의 탄산화, 동결융해 등의 열화요인 의하여 발생할 수 있는 콘크리트의 내구성에 대한 다양한 연구가 진행되고 있는데, 이러한 열화요인은 독립적이 아닌 복합열화의 형태로 작용하게 되는데, 열화현상을 저감하는 한 방편으로 플라이애쉬와 같은 혼화재를 사용하디도 한다. 플라이애쉬는 유동성 증진을 통한 내구성의 향상과, 수화열 저감을 통한 균열감소 및 장기강도 증진 등의 효과가 있으며, 시멘트를 대체함으로써 경제적인 효과를 유발하는 장점도 가지고 있다. 그러나 플라이애쉬는 품질편차가 크고, 경우에 따라서 미연탄소분에 의한 AE제 흡착 등으로 인한 콘크리트의 내구성 및 강도를 저하시킬 수 있는 요소를 내포하고 있으므로 사용 시 주의가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 열화를 저감하고, 내구성을 갖는 고강도 콘크리트를 제조하기 위하여 다양한 배합비의 플라이애쉬 혼입 콘크리트를 실험한 후 그 결과를 분석·고찰함으로써 내구성 콘크리트의 제작 시 혼화재로서의 적용성 및 타당성을 검증하고자 하며, 플라이애쉬를 내구성 재료로 그 활용을 극대화하고, 다양한 플라이애쉬의 사용량과 물/결합재비(W/B)에 대하여 내구성이 높은 고강도 콘크리트 제조방법을 범용화하며, 그 품질을 평가하는 것을 목적으로 한다.

Recently, to consider financial and constructive aspect usage of Admixture such as Blast-Furnace Slag and Fly-Ash, are increased. Also the use of cold-weather-concrete is increased. Blast-Furnace Slag, a by-product of steel industry, have many advantage to reduce the heat of hydration, increase in ultimate strength and etc. But it also reduces early-age strength, so it is prevented from using of Blast-Furnace Slag at cold-weather-concrete. In this study, for the purpose of increasing usage of Blast-Furnace Slag at cold-weather-concrete, it is investigated the strength properties of concrete subjected to frost damage for the cause of early age curing. The factors of this experience to give early frost damaged were Freezing temperature(-1, -10, $-15^{\circ}C$), Early curing age(0, 12, 24, 48hour), Freezing times(0, 12, 24, 48hour). According to this study, if early curing is carried out before haying frost damage, the strength of concrete used admixture, subjected to frost damage, is recovered. And that properties are considered, the effect of using admixture like blast-furnace-slag, is very high

The objective of this study is to establish an rational mixture-proportioning procedure for low-$CO_2$ concrete using supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) achieving the targeted $CO_2$ reduction ratio as well as the conventional requirements such as initial slump, air content, and 28-day compressive strength of concrete. To evaluate the effect of SCM level on the $CO_2$ emission and compressive strength of concrete, a total of 12537 data sets were compiled from the available literature and ready-mixed concrete plants. The amount of $CO_2$ emission of concrete was assessed under the system boundary from cradle to concrete production stage at a ready-mixed concrete plant. Based on regression analysis using the established database, simple equations were proposed to determine the mixture proportions of concrete such as the type and level of SCMs, water-to-binder ratio, and fine aggregate-to-total aggregate ratio. Furthermore, the $CO_2$ emissions for a given concrete mixture can be straightforwardly calculated using the proposed equations. Overall, the developed mixture-proportioning procedure is practically useful for determining the initial mixture proportions of low-$CO_2$ concrete in the ready-mixed concrete field.

It has been well known that concrete structures exposed to acid and sulfate environments such as sewer, sewage and wastewater, soil, groundwater, and seawater etc. show significant decrease in their durability due to chemical attack. Such deleterious acid and sulfate attacks lead to expansion and cracking in concrete, and thus, eventually result in damage to concrete matrix by forming expansive hydration products due to the reaction between portland cement hydration products and acid and sulfate ions. Objectives of this experimental research are to investigate the effect of mineral admixtures on the resistance to acid and sulfate attack in concrete and to suggest high-resistance concrete mix against acid and sulfate attack. For this purpose, concretes specimens with three types of cement (ordinary portland cement (OPC), binary blended cement (BBC), and ternary blended cement (TBC) composed of different types and proportions of admixtures) were prepared at water-biner ratios of 32% and 43%. The concrete specimens were immersed in fresh water, 5% sulfuric acid, 10% sodium sulfate, and 10% magnesium sulfate solutions for 28, 56, 91, 182, and 365 days, respectively. To evaluate the resistance to acid and sulfate for concrete specimens, visual appearance changes were observed and compressive strength ratios and mass change ratios were measured. It was observed from the test results that the resistance against sulfuric acid and sodium sulfate solutions of the concretes containing mineral admixtures were much better than that of OPC concrete, but in the case of magnesium sulfate solution the concretes containing mineral admixtures was less resistant than OPC concrete due to formation of magnesium silicate hydrate (M-S-H) which is non-cementitious.

In this paper, the effects of ferronickel slag powder and admixture on the strength of VR sewer pipe were analyzed. the substitution rate was tested as a variable, and the strength development was studied through the flexural strength, compressive strength and using SEM microscopic analysis. bending strength, compressive strength results and micro analysis using SEM showed the correlation in each case. the substitution rates were 20% and 30% relative to the mass of the OPC respectively, and were substituted according to a constant ratio of ferronickel slag fine powder and mixture. when the substitution ratio was 20%, the strength development was excellent. also, bending strength and compressive strength were the best when the ferronickel slag fine powder, quicklime, gypsum and calcium chloride were used as the admixture, dense microstructural patterns appeared. the possibility of progressive strength development is shown after 28 days.

In this study, nano-silica and nano-titanium were selected to determine the possibility of applying the binder to reactive nano materials. The basic characteristics of the nano material candidate group were reviewed. and the reactivity of nano materials was reviewed through K-value. The reactivity of the nano silicate materials was measured to be high. Therefore, as a final candidate group, nano silicate materials were selected. The finally selected reactive nano material was reviewed for its usability as a construction binder. The mechanical properties and unit weight of cement paste were reviewed using silica fume and blast furnace slag and nano materials. When cement composites with nano silicate materials, it was confirmed that it was effective in improving the mechanical performance and decrease the unit weight of cement composites.
