  • This study was performed to evaluate the engineering properties of cement mortar brick with loess and fly ash. The unit weight was in the range of $2,068{\sim}2,137\;kgf/m^{3}$ and $1,899{\sim}2,045\;kgf/m^{3}$ in water and dry curing, respectively It was decreased with increasing the loess content. The absorption ratio was in the range of $5.2{\sim}13.1%$ and $8.5{\sim}13.2%$ in water and dry curing, respectively. The compressive strength was decreased with increasing the loess content. The compressive strength of the 193 $kgf/m^{2}$ in water and 188 $kgf/m^{2}$ in dry curing at the curing age 28 days of the binder volume ratio 35% was exceeded in 163 $kgf/m^{2}$ of standard compressive strength about cement bricks. The carbonation depth was in the range of $0.9{\sim}1.4$ mm, $1.2{\sim}3.6$ mm, $1.4{\sim}6.7$ mm and $2.4{\sim}12.5$ mm in dry curing of curing age 14days, 28days, 90days and 360days, respectively.

  • The aim of this study is to investigate the flexural performance of hybrid fiber reinforced self-compacting concrete (HFRSCC) having different ratio of micro and macro steel fiber. A total of five mixtures are prepared. In all mixtures, the sum of the steel fiber content is 1% and also water/binder ratio is kept constant. The amount of high range water reducer admixture (HRWRA) is arranged to satisfy the workability criteria of self-compacting concrete. Four-point bending test is carried out to analyze the flexural performance of the mixtures at 28 and 56 curing days. From the obtained load-deflection curves, the load carrying capacity, deflection and toughness values are investigated according to ASTM C1609, ASTM C1018 and JSCE standards. The mixtures containing higher ratio of macro steel fiber exhibit numerous micro-cracks and, thus, deflection-hardening response is observed. The mixture containing 1% micro steel fiber shows worst performance in the view of all flexural parameters. An improvement is observed in the aspect of toughness and load carrying capacity as the macro steel fiber content increases. The test results based on the standards are also compared taking account of abovementioned standards.

  • Modeling approach for mesoscopic model of concrete depicting mass transportation and physicochemical reaction is important since there is growing demand for accuracy and computational efficiency of numerical simulation. Mesoscopic numerical simulation considering binder, aggregate and Interfacial Transition Zone (ITZ) generally produces huge number of DOFs, which is inapplicable for full structure. In this paper, a three-dimensional multiscale approach describing three-phase structure of concrete was discussed numerically. An effective approach generating random aggregate in polygon based on checking centroid distance was introduced. Moreover, ITZ elements were built by parallel expanding the surface of aggregates on inner side. By combining mesoscopic model including full-graded aggregate and macroscopic model, cases related to diffusivity and thickness of ITZ, volume fraction and grade of aggregate were studied regarding the consideration of multiscale compensation. Results clearly showed that larger analysis model in multiscale model expanded the diffusion space of chloride ion and decreased chloride content in front of rebar. Finally, this paper addressed some worth-noting conclusions about the chloride distribution and rebar corrosion regarding the configuration of, rebar diameter, concrete cover and exposure period.

  • The use of waste materials as a binder or aggregate in the concrete mixture is a great step towards sustainability in the construction industry. Waste rubber (WR) can be used as coarse and fine aggregates in concrete and improves the crack resistance, impact resistance, and fatigue life of the produced concrete. However, the mechanical properties of rubberized concrete degrade significantly by replacing the natural aggregate with WR. To have accurate estimations of the mechanical properties of rubberized concrete, two machine learning methods consisting of artificial neural network (ANN) and neuro-fuzzy system (NFS) were served in this study. To do this, a comprehensive dataset was collected from reliable literature, and two scenarios were addressed for the selection of input variables. In the first scenario, the critical ratios of the rubberized concrete and the concrete age were considered as the input variables. In contrast, the mechanical properties of concrete without WR and the percentage of aggregate volume replaced by WR were assumed as the input variables in the second scenario. The results show that the first scenario models outperform the models proposed by the second scenario. Moreover, the developed ANN models are more reliable than the proposed NFS models in most cases.

  • A wide range of possible hazards existing in thermal batteries are mainly caused by thermal runaway, which results in overheating or explosion in extreme case. Battery separators ensure the separation between two electrodes and the retention of ion-conductive electrolytes. Thermal runaways in thermal batteries can be significantly reduced by the adoption of these separators. The high operating temperature and the violent reactivity in thermal batteries, however, have limited the introduction of conventional separators. As a substitute for separators, MgO powders have been mostly used as a binder to hold molten salt electrolyte. During recent decades the fabrication technology of ceramic fiber, which has excellent mechanical strength and chemical stability, has undergone significant improvement. In this study we adopted wet-laid nonwoven paper making method instead of the electrospinning method which is costly and troublesome to produce in volume. Polymeric precursor can readily be coated on the surface of wet-laid ceramic paper, and be formed into ceramic film after heat treatment. The mechanical strength and the thermo-chemical stability as well as the wetting behaviors of ceramic separators with various molten salts were investigated to be applicable to thermal batteries. Due to their excellent chemical, mechanical, and electrical properties, wet-laid nonwoven separators made from ceramic fibers have revealed positive possibility as new separators for thermal batteries which operate at high temperature with no conspicuous sign of a short circuit and corrosion.

  • 본 연구는 고강도 고함량 고로슬래그 콘크리트의 특성에 미치는 석회석 미분말과 실리카퓸의 영향을 검토하기 위해 50%에서 최대 80%까지 고로슬래그를 다량 혼합하고, 석회석 미분말을 최대 20%, 실리카퓸을 최대 10%까지 혼합한 물-결합재비 20%의 고강도 시멘트 모르터의 유동성, 강도발현, 수화 및 포졸란 반응 특성, 공극율 및 공극 크기 분포 등을 분석하였다. 실험결과에 따르면 고함량 고로슬래그 배합은 포틀랜드 시멘트 배합에 비해 고로슬래그의 낮은 표면 마찰로 유동성이 크게 향상되고, 시멘트 수화에 필요한 자유수가 많아져 수화반응이 촉진되면서 초기강도가 증가하나, 너무 낮은 물-결합재비와 단위시멘트량으로 인해 수산화칼슘의 생성량이 부족하여 포졸란 반응이 충분히 활성화되지 못함에 따라 장기강도 발현이 억제된다. 석회석 미분말은 유동성에는 큰 영향을 주지 않고, 역시 시멘트의 초기 수화를 촉진하는 것으로 나타났으나, 수화를 가속하는 효과는 고로슬래그보다 높지 않고, 고로슬래그와 달리 수경성이 없기 때문에 오히려 석회석 미분말의 치환율이 높아질수록 압축강도가 낮아지는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 고분말의 고로슬래그를 사용하거나, 또는 실리카퓸으로 고로슬래그를 치환하는 경우 시멘트 수화에 필요한 자유수를 더 많이 흡착함으로써 유동성과 강도를 저하시키는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 고로슬래그를 사용한 배합의 공극율이 보통 포틀랜드 시멘트 배합보다 낮게 나타났으나, 석회석 미분말은 공극율에 뚜렷한 영향을 나타내지 않았고 실리카퓸은 낮은 시멘트 수화도로 인해 공극율을 오히려 증가시키는 것으로 나타났다. 반면 공극 크기 분포에 있어서는 고로슬래그와 실리카퓸를 혼합한 경우 미세공극이 증가하는 것으로 나타났다.

  • 폴리비닐알코올 섬유와 폴리에틸렌 섬유 등의 합성 섬유는 고연성 섬유보강 시멘트 복합재료를 제조하는데 성공적으로 사용되고 있다. 폴리프로필렌 섬유 역시 복합재료를 제조하는데 사용되고 있지만, 고연성을 구현하는 목적보다는 고온에 노출된 콘크리트의 내화 성능 향상 목적으로 사용되고 있다. 이 연구에서는 폴리프로필렌 섬유로 보강된 시멘트 복합재료의 성능을 향상시키는 방법에 대하여 논하고자 한다. 폴리프로필렌 섬유보강 시멘트 복합재료의 성능을 평가하기 위하여 5가지 배합을 결정하였다. 1종 보통포틀랜드시멘트 (OPC)와 OPC를 다량 치환한 플라이애시를 결합재로 사용하였고 물-결합재 비는 0.23~0.25이다. 또한 부피비로 2%의 폴리프로필렌 섬유가 사용되었으며, 연성을 향상시킬 목적으로 폴리스틸렌 비드가 사용되었다. 슬럼프, 밀도, 압축강도, 1축 인장 실험을 포함한 일련의 실험을 수행하였으며, 실험결과, 파괴역학, 마이크로역학, 통계이론을 이용하여 폴리프로필렌 섬유보강 시멘트 복합재료의 성능을 향상할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다.

  • 구형의 아토마이징 제강 환원슬래그(래들로 슬래그)를 폴리머 콘크리트 복합재료의 잔골재 대신 사용하기 위하여 아토마이징 제강 환원슬래그의 대체율과 폴리머 결합재의 첨가율을 다양하게 변화시켜 공시체를 제작하였다. 공시체의제 물성을 조사하기 위하여 흡수시험, 압축 및 휨강도, 내열수성시험, 세공분포측정 및 SEM에 의한 미세조직 관찰을 실시하였다. 그 결과 폴리머 결합재 7.5% 첨가한 공시체는 제강 환원슬래그의 대체율이 증가됨에 따라 압축 및 휨강도가 증가되었으나 폴리머 결합재 8.0% 이상에서는 유동성의 증가로 인한 재료분리 현상으로 특정한 대체율에서 최대값을 나타내었다. 내열수성시험에 의하여 압축강도, 휨강도, 세공의 평균직경 및 밀도는 감소되었으나 총세공량과 공극률은 증가되었다. 아토마이징 제강 환원슬래그를 잔골재 대신 사용함으로써 유동성이 현저히 증가되어 폴리머 결합재의 사용량을 최대 23.5%까지 절감할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 아토마이징 제강 환원슬래그를 사용함으로써 내열수성이 감소되기 때문에 더 많은 연구가 요구된다.

  • Sheanut cake (SNC), expeller (SNE) and solvent extractions (SNSE) samples were evaluated to determine their suitability in animal feeding. The CP content was highest in SNSE (16.2%) followed by SNE (14.7%) and SNC (11.6%). However, metabolizable energy (ME, MJ/kg) was maximum in SNC (8.2) followed by SNE (7.9) and SNSE (7.0). The tannin phenol content was about 7.0 per cent and mostly in the form of hydrolyzable tannin (HT), whereas condensed tannin (CT) was less than one per cent. The in vitro gas production profiles indicated similar y max (maximum potential of gas production) among the 3 by-products. However, the rate of degradation (k) was maximum in SNC followed by SNE and SNSE. The $t^{1/2}$ (time taken for reaching half asymptote) was lowest in SNC (14.4 h) followed by SNE (18.7 h) and SNSE (21.9 h). The increment in the in vitro gas volume (ml/200 mg DM) with PEG (polyethylene glycol)-6000 (as a tannin binder) addition was 12.0 in SNC, 9.6 in SNE and 11.0 in SNSE, respectively. The highest ratio of $CH_4$ (ml) reduction per ml of the total gas, an indicator of the potential of tannin, was recorded in SNE (0.482) followed by SNC (0.301) and SNSE (0.261). There was significant (p<0.05) reduction in entodinia population and total protozoa population. Differential protozoa counts revealed that Entodinia populations increased to a greater extent than Holotricha when PEG was added. This is the first report on the antimethanogenic property of sheanut byproducts. It could be concluded that all the three forms of SN byproducts are medium source of protein and energy for ruminants. There is a great potential for SN by-products to be incorporated in ruminant feeding not only as a source of energy and protein, but also to protect the protein from rumen degradation and suppress enteric methanogenesis.

  • In this study, we have prepared pitch binded AC (activated carbon)/$AC/TiO_2$ composites photocatalysts through carbon tetrachloride solvent method. The developed samples were characterized with surface properties, structural crystallinity between AC and $AC/TiO_2$, elemental identification and photocatalytic activity. The results of the textural surface properties demonstrate that there are slight increases in the BET surface area and adsorbed volume from adsorption isotherm of composite samples with increasing of the amount of AC. The SEM results present to the characterization of porous texture on the pitch/AC/$AC/TiO_2$ composites and homogenous compositions in the particle for all the materials used. From XRD data, a weak and broad carbon peak of graphene remained rutile peaks kept with anatase structure were observed in the X-ray diffraction patterns for the pitch/AC/$AC/TiO_2$ composites. The EDX spectra show the presence of C, O and S with strong Ti peaks. Most of these samples are richer in carbon and major Ti metal than any other elements. Finally, the excellent photocatalytic activity of the pitch/AC/$AC/TiO_2$ composites between relative concentration ($c/c_o$) of MB and UV irradiation time could be attributed to the both effects between photocatalysis of the supported $AC/TiO_2$ and adsorptivity of the two kinds of carbons.
