As a part of efforts to obtain high quality and economical efficiency of concrete, blast-furnace slag has been utilized by means of cement replacement. Therefore superior performance can be ensured, environmental pollution can be prevented and economical advantage can be obtained with utilization by cement replacement. But the studies on the blast-furnace slag are not systematic and reasonable. So, it was planed that basic data in regard to technique of manufacturing and economic improvement of concrete is showed with experimental comparison and investigation of engineering properties of concrete utilizing blast-furnace, industry by-product, as cement replacement in this study.

Nowadays, research about using recycled aggregate as alkali activator has been investigated. By the mechanism of Alkali activation, blast furnace slag's potential hydraulis property would be activated. Thee application of this technique is considered as fit for low strength concrete, so it's suitable in concrete secondary production such as bricks and blocks. Aside alkali activator, sulfate could also activate blast furnace slag's potential hydranlis property. In this research, gypsum(CaSO4·2H2O)has been added with blast furnace slag. Fundamental experiment such as flow and strength has been tested to evalnate effect of gypsum's activation property.

In this study, a concrete was prepared using an alkaline aqueous solution produced by electrolyzing potassium carbonate in order to improve the low initial strength of concrete using blast furnace slag. In order to confirm the increase in initial strength, the compressive strength of specimens was measured on the age of 7, 28 days. As a result, the blast furnace slag concrete using the electrolysis alkaline aqueous solution as the mixed water show high strength more than the blast furnace slag concrete using the general mixed water.

Recently, as blast furnace slag concrete has become widely used, managing the strength of concrete has become important. mSn is a method of correcting the difference in strength between standard cured specimens and concrete exposed to changes in temperature. In this study, the predicted strength based on the maturity of the central and outer parts of the blast furnace slag concrete structure is compared with the actual strength measured through coring. As a result, the actual strength difference between the center and the outer part of the concrete mixed with blast furnace slag was larger than the predicted strength difference.

In this study, a mix design for self compacting concrete was based on Okamura's method and concrete incorporated just a ground granulated blast furnace slag. Replacement ratio of slag is in the range of $20-80\%$ of cement matrix by volume. For the optimal self compactability in mixture incorporating ground granulated blast furnace slag, the paste and mortar tests were first completed. Then the slump flow, elapsed time of 500mm slump flow, V funnel time and filling height by U type box were conducted in concrete. The volume of coarse aggregate in self compacting concrete was in the range of $50-60\%$ to the solid volume percentage of coarse aggregate. Finally, the compressive and splitting tensile strengths were determined in the hardened self compacting concrete incorporating ground granulated blast furnace slag. From the test results, it is desirable for self compacting concrete that the replacement of ground granulated blast furnace slag is in the range of $40-60\%$ of cement matrix by volume and the volume of coarse aggregate to the solid volume percentage of coarse aggregate with a limit of $55\%$.

Whereas commonly used to make concrete having rich water contents as binder or mineral admixture, blast furnace slag has been rarely applied to manufacture in concrete based products having poor water contents. This study, for the multi-recycling of blast furnace slag, is to analyze strength enhancement mechanism of concrete based products using blast furnace slag. The results of this study are following. We found that blast furnace slag is very effective mineral admixture to manufacture high strength spacer having over $400kgf/cm^2$ in compressive strength. Also, enhancement of strength by blast-furnace slag are responsible to densified grading and pozzolanic reaction.

Recycled aggregate mortar contains plenty of calcium hydroxide to improve the strength of blast furnace slag, although the surface mortar made of recycled aggregate deteriorates adhesion to cement paste and blast furnace slag has a low initial strength. Therefore, this study assumes that the combination with both recycled aggregate and blast furnace slag will produce a better performance. The results of the experiment show that dry mortar made of recycled aggregate provides with higher strength than wet mortar does at the 3-day and 7-day age, while lower at the 28-day age. It indicates that a large amount of cement mortar made of dry recycled aggregate has deteriorated adhesion strength. The mixes with 30% and 50% of blast furnace slag and 50% and 75% of recycled aggregate provide with much better strength at the 7-day age, although they usually have latent hydraulic property at the 28-day age. It indicates that calcium hydroxide($Ca(OH){_2}$) in recycled aggregate has affected ground granulated blast furnace slag.

Replacing a large amount of ground granulated blast furnace slag is limited because early age strength is low due to latent hydraulic property despite excellence of long-term strength. This study aimed to examine produceableness of high-activated ground granulated blast furnace slag using slag by-product from steel process. As experimental variable, the properties of strength development were analyzed by setting fineness and replacement ratio of slag by-product, curing conditions, and W/B. The results of study showed that high-activated ground granulated blast furnace slag using slag by-product as an activator improve the compressive strength of mortar. It is expected to be used as binder for secondary product of concrete considering curing and mixing conditions because high-activated ground granulated blast furnace slag can be hydrated by itself.

A possibility of using waste plastics as a source of secondary fuel in blast furnace has been of recent interest. The success of this process, however, will be critically dependent upon the optimization of operating systems. for instance, the supply of waste plastics must be reliable as well as economically attractive compared with conventional secondary fuels such as heavy oil, natural gas and pulverized coal. In this work, we put special importance on the improvement of the combustibility of waste plastics as a way to enhance energy efficiency in blast furnace. As experimental variables to approach this target, the effects of plastic particle size, blast temperature, and the level of oxygen enrichment were investigated using a custom-made blast model designed to simulate a real furnace. Lastly, the combustion efficiency of the mixture of waste plastics and pulverized coal was tested. The observations made from these experiments led us to the conclusion that with the increase of both blast temperature and the level of oxygen enrichment, and with the decrease of particle size, the combustibility of waste PE could be improved at a given distance from tuyere. Also it was found that the efficiency of coal combustion decreased with the addition of plastics; however, the combustion efficiency of mixture could be comparable at longer distance from tuyere.
