이산화탄소 방출을 줄이기 위해 포트랜드 시멘트 성분 일부를 시멘트 보충재를 혼합해준 시멘트의 제조에 대해 연구하였다. 이산화탄소를 0.18 kg $CO_2$/kg 정도 줄이기 위해 포트랜드 시멘트에 보충재를 20 wt% 정도 혼합하였다. 이 혼합시멘트의 압축 강도는 포트랜드 시멘트 ASTM C-150의 표준치를 초과하며, 28일간의 굳는 과정중에 37 MPa의 압축 강도를 가졌다. 혼합시멘트의 미세구조는 포트랜드 시멘트와 유사하였다.

Real-time monitoring of stiffness and strength in cement based system has received significant attention in past few decades owing to the development of advanced techniques. Also, use of environment friendly supplementary cementitious materials (SCM) in cement, though gaining huge interest, severely affect the strength gain especially in early ages. Continuous monitoring of strength- and stiffness- gain using an efficient technique will systematically facilitate to choose the suitable time of removal of formwork for structures made with SCM incorporated concrete. This paper presents a technique for monitoring the strength and stiffness evolution in hydrating fly ash blended cement systems using electro-mechanical impedance (EMI) based technique. It is important to observe that the slower pozzolanic reactivity of fly ash blended cement systems could be effectively tracked using the evolution of equivalent local stiffness of the hydrating medium. Strength prediction models are proposed for estimating the strength and stiffness of the fly ash cement system, where curing age (in terms of hours/days) and the percentage replacement of cement by fly ash are the parameters. Evaluation of strength as obtained from EMI characteristics is validated with the results from destructive compression test and also compared with the same obtained from commonly used ultrasonic wave velocity (UPV). Statistical error indices indicate that the EMI technique is capable of predicting the strength of fly ash blended cement system more accurate than that from UPV. Further, the correlations between stiffness- and strength- gain over the time of hydration are also established. From the study, it is found that EMI based method can be effectively used for monitoring of strength gain in the fly ash incorporated cement system during hardening.

본 연구는 해양 매스 콘크리트 구조물인 서해대교 사장교 주탑기초(L${\times}$D${\times}$H : 66${\times}$28${\times}$32~38.2)에 콘크리트 타설시 다짐작업을 생략할 수 있고, 수화열에 의한 온도균열 발생을 제어할 수 있는 콘크리트의 사용에 대하여 적극적으로 검토한 것으로서 혼합형 저발열 시멘트를 사용한 초유동 콘크리트와 현장에서 사용중인 5종 시멘트를 사용한 25-240-15 보통 콘크리트를 주탑 기초 일부분에 적용하여 유동성, 강도발현 성능, 재료분리 저항성, 수화열, 내해수성 등을 비교 평가한 것이다. 그 결과, 저발열시멘트를 사용한 초유동 콘크리트는 별도의 다짐 작업없이도 우수한 작업성과 자기 충전성, 재료분리 저항성을 나타냈으며, 5종시멘트를 사용한 25-240-15보통 콘크리트보다 단위시멘트량이 54kg/$m^2$ 정도 증가했음에도 불구하고 오히려 수화열은 $10^{\circ}C$이상 저감되어 온도균열 제어에 매우 효과적임을 확인할 수 잇었다. 또한 부재에서 채취한 코아의 압축강도는 5종시멘트를 사용한 25-240-15 보통 콘크리트와 동등한 강도 발현율을 나타내었다. 특히 해수중 염소이온의 침투에 대한 저항성을 평가하기 위해 실시한 촉진 염소이온침투 시험결과 통과전하량이 5종 보통 콘크리트보다 5배정도 낮게 나타났으며, 기타 화학물질에 대한 저항성은 비슷한 경향을 보였다. 따라서 저발열 시멘트를 사용한 초유동 콘크리트는 유동성개선에 의한 다짐 작업의 생략 효과와 더불어 수화열 저감 효과에 따른 온도균열제어 및 공기단축 등으로 주탑기초의 콘크리트에 매우 유리한 시멘트라고 판단되었다.

Concrete in water environment is easily subjected to the attack of leaching, which causes its mechanical reduction and durability deterioration, and the key to improving the leaching resistance of concrete is to increase the compaction of its microstructure formed by the curing. This paper performs a numerical investigation on the intrinsic relationship between microstructures formed by the hydration of cement and slag and leaching resistance of concrete in water environment. Firstly, a shrinking-core hydration model of blended cement and slag is presented, in which the interaction of hydration process of cement and slag is considered and the microstructure composition is characterized by the hydration products, solution composition and pore structure. Secondly, based on Fick's law and mass conservation law, a leaching model of hardened paste is proposed, in which the multi-species ionic diffusion equation and modified Gérard model are established, and the model is numerically solved by applying the finite difference method. Finally, two models are combined by microstructure composition to form an integrated curing-leaching model, and it is used to investigate the relationship between microstructure composition and leaching resistance of slag-blended cement pastes.

The use of calcium sulfoaluminate (CSA) cement as a rapid-hardening cement admixture or eco-friendly alternate for ordinary Portland cement (OPC) has been attempted over the years, but the cost of CSA cement and availability of suitable aluminium resource prevent its wide practical application. To propose an effective ground improvement design in sandy soil, this study aims at blending a certain percentage of CSA with OPC to find an optimum blend that would have fast-setting behavior with a lower carbon footprint than OPC without compromising the mechanical properties of the cemented sand. Compared to the 100% CSA case, initial speed of strength development of blended cement is relatively low as it is mixed with OPC. It is found that 80% OPC and 20% CSA blend has low initial strength but eventually produces equivalent ultimate strength (28 days curing) to that of CSA treated sand. The specific OPC-CSA blend (80:20) exhibits significantly higher strength gain than using pure OPC, thus allowing effective geotechnical designs for sustainable and controlled ground improvement. Further parametric studies were conducted for the blended cement under various curing conditions, cement contents, and curing times. Wet-cured cement treated sand had 33% lower strength than that of dry-cured samples, while the stiffness of wet-cured samples was 25% lower than that of dry-cured samples.

In recent years, Nano-technology significantly invaded the field of Geotechnical engineering, particularly in soil stabilisation techniques. Stabilisation of weak soil is envisioned to modify various soil characteristics by the addition of natural or synthetic materials into the virgin soil. In the present study, laboratory experiments were executed to investigate the influence of nano-silica particles in the consistency limits, compressive strength of the soft clay blended with cement. The results revealed that the high compressibility behaviour of soft clay modified to medium-stiff condition with fewer dosages of cement and nano-silica. The mechanism behind the strength development is verified with the previous researches as well as from Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction test (XRD) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) analysis. Based on the results, the presence of nano-silica in soft clay blended with cement has a positive effect on the behaviour of soil. This technique proves to be very economical and less detrimental to the environment.

Predicting the compressive strength of concrete is important to assess the load-carrying capacity of a structure. However, the use of blended cements to accrue the technical, economic and environmental benefits has increased the complexity of prediction models. Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) have been used for predicting the compressive strength of ordinary Portland cement concrete, i.e., concrete produced without the addition of supplementary cementing materials. In this study, models to predict the compressive strength of blended cement concrete prepared with a natural pozzolan were developed using regression models and single- and 2-phase learning ANNs. Back-propagation (BP), Levenberg-Marquardt (LM) and Conjugate Gradient Descent (CGD) methods were used for training the ANNs. A 2-phase learning algorithm is proposed for the first time in this study for predictive modeling of the compressive strength of blended cement concrete. The output of these predictive models indicates that the use of a 2-phase learning algorithm will provide better results than the linear regression model or the traditional single-phase ANN models.

The bottom slab of Inchon LNG in-ground #213 tank is designed as a massive structure witch has a large depth and section. The purpose of this study is to determine the optimum mix design having good workability and low hydration heat for bottom slab concrete and to control the actual concrete quality in site. For this purpose, we select the optimum mix design used ternary blended cement(furnace slag cement＋fly ash) and design factors. As test results of actual application, we have finish placing the bottom slab concrete of 23,180㎥ during 68hours with good success and obtain the good quality of fresh and hardened concrete including slump, air contents, no-segregation, compressive strength and low hydration heat in actual data. All test results are satisfied with our specifications for bottom slab concrete and we cut costs as the use of ternary blended cement and the reduction of placing hours.
