This study was performed to evaluate the compressive strength and acid-resistant of polymer concrete using redispersible polymer powder(RPP) and blast furnace slag powder(BSP). Material used were ordinary portlant cement, recycled coarse aggregate, natural fine aggregate, redispersible polymer powder and blast furnace slag powder. The main experimental variables were the substitution ratio of redispersible polymer powder and blast furnace slag powder, when the substitution ratios of RPP were 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6%, and those of BSP were 10%. The compressive strength and acid-resistant of polymer concrete using RPP and BSP were compared with those of ordinary concrete(Basis). When the substitution ratio of RPP was 1%, at age of 28 days, the compressive strength were more higher than those of Basis by 24%, and it was decreased with increasing the RPP content, respectively. Also, the water absorption ratio was decreased with increasing the RPP content. But, the acid-resistant was improved with increasing the RPP content.

Furnace slag powder used currently in Korea needs to add special functions in response to the increase of large-scale projects. In addition, it is advantageous in that it has a lower hydration heat emission rate than ordinary Portland cement and improves properties such as the inhibition of alkali aggregate reaction, watertightness, salt proofness, seawater resistance and chemical resistance. However, furnace slag powder is not self -hardening, and requires activators such as alkali for hydration. Accordingly, if recycled fine aggregate, from which calcium hydroxide is generated, and furnace slag, which requires alkali stimulation, are used together they play mutually complementary roles, so we expect to use the mixture as a resource-recycling construction material. Thus the present study purposed to examine the properties and characteristics of furnace slag powder and recycled aggregate, to manufacture recycled fine aggregate concrete using furnace slag and analyze its performance based on the results of an experiment, to provide materials on concrete using furnace slag as a cement additive and recycled fine aggregate as a substitute of aggregate, and ultimately to provide basic materials on the manufacturing of resource-recycled construction materials using binder and fine aggregate as recycled resources.

Accordingly, this study, in order to use powder of recycled aggregate from production of recycled aggregate as an activator of ground granulated blast furnace slag, the influence of added recycled aggregate powder on physical properties of concrete induced ground granulated blast furnace slag were analyzed by hydration stages. The results of the study are summarized as follows: Except for samples eluted powder of recycled aggregate 1%, all the samples were high alkali suspensions with higher than pH 12.0. In particular, when eluted time was 5 hours, the sample eluted powder of recycled aggregate 3% showed about 15 mg/l of calcium hydroxide that was not different from the amount of calcium hydroxide in the mixing water eluted powder of recycled aggregate 5%. Hence, from this results, it can be considered that optimal eluted powder of recycled aggregate was 3% in this study. When using mixing water eluted with powder of recycled aggregate, compared to use of ordinary mixing water, it showed greater compressive strength in the entire ages, and in the sample replaced with ground granulated blast furnace slag by 50%, its compressive strength was greater than that of the OPC. As use of mixing water eluted with powder of recycled aggregate in concrete used with large amount of ground granulated blast furnace slag was more effective for improving compressive strength than ordinary mixing water, it is verified that powder of recycled aggregate had an effect of activator.

Various attempts are being made to reduce carbon emissions through recycling of industrial by-products in the construction materials industry to reduce carbon emissions, and cement substitutes such as blast furnace slag and fly ash are widely used. Although it is suggested that the use of industrial by-product aggregate is possible in 'Aggregate', the use case of industrial by-product aggregate is very rare in the actual field. In this study, as an industrial by-product, fine slag aggregate is used as fine aggregate among aggregates that can be used as aggregate for concrete, and coarse aggregate is used as a substitute for natural aggregate. WWe tried to suggest various ways to expand the use of industrial by-product aggregates.

Lightweight aggregates has a dry specific gravity of 2.0 or less, which is lower than natural aggregates. Lightweght aggregate is efficient for weight reduction but has low compressive strength. In this study, EIS(electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy) was used to confirm the ITZ(Interfacial Transition Zone) between the lightweight aggregate and cement paste according to the coated of blast furnace slag powder. As a result of EIS measurement, the correlation between ITZ characteristics and compressive strength was determined. The phase angle of EIS was different depending on the blast furnace slag powder coated of the lightweight aggregate. The surface-cotead lightweight aggregate was improved and the ITZ was strengthened.

Blast furnace slag doesn't have self-hydraulicity and it needs stimulants such as alkali to hydrate. Therefore using recycled aggregates erupted calcium hydroxides and blast furnace slag acquiring alkali stimulate could make a complementarily use of a recycling architectural material possible. In this study, we have discussed about characters of blast furnace slag and recycled aggregate firstly, and make recycled aggregate mortar and concrete using blast furnace slag for the experiment. The experiment is about mortar and concrete using recycled aggregate as a substitutional material of blast furnace slag. In this experiment, I replace blast furnace slag and aggregate with recycled aggregate. Conclusions through the test results analysis are as follows. And then, we added field experiment using concrete with composited materials.

Steel slag produced in steel making process is divided with electric arc furnace slag and converter slag. Compared with the blast furnace slag, converter slag has the expansibility due to the reaction with water and free CaO. Therefore it is specified in Standard Specification for Concrete in Korea that steel slag aggregate must not be used in concrete. In this study, we treat electric arc furnace slag aggregate(EAFSA) for concrete before and after several aging process to reduce expansibility. The fundamental properties are measured, which are specific gravity, unit weight, abrasion value and immersion expansion ratio, as concrete aggregate. To understand the suitability of EAFSA for concrete, we made the concrete with EAFSA and then determined the strength and the volume change in EAFSA concrete. From the results EAFSA treated with steam aging process has potentiality for concrete aggregate.

The objective of this study is to find the strength properties of concrete using blast furnace slag. Its mechanical strength properties investigated include compressive strength, flexural strength, and tensile strength. The main expeirmental variables were cement type, coarse aggregate size(19, 25mm), and water/cement ratio(28, 32, 36%). The principal results obtained from this study are as follows ; it was possible to obtain the compressive strength of $500{\sim}700kg/cm^2$ concrete by using the blast furnace slag. Therefore, blast furnace slag was proved to be superior to ordinary portland cement in manufacturing the high strength concrete with the same mix conditions. In the near furture, concrete using blast furnace slag is expected to be practically used in the field.

This study is to assess the differences between concrete having only one of fine aggregates such as crushed fine aggregates, sea sand and blast furnace slag in it and concrete having mixture of two kinds of those fine aggregates in it in order to find out how to deal with the lack of some aggregates. The findings are as follows. In terms of slump, the concrete containing sea sand and blast furnace slag has very low slump values while the concrete having the mixture of crushed fine aggregate and the other fine aggregates showed better workability. In terms of compressive strength, the concrete containing the mixture of two kinds of aggregates showed higher compressive strength. Accordingly, it is likely that the concrete containing the mixture of crushed fine aggregate, sea sand and blast furnace slag is better than the concrete with only one kind of fine aggregates in terms of the usability.
