In case of constructing the concrete structures under seawater environment, the concrete suffers from deterioration due to penetration of various ions such as chloride, sulfate and magnesium in seawater. Tn the present study, Immersion tests with artificial seawater were carried out to investigate the resistance to seawater attack of antiwashout underwater concrete. From the results of compressive strength, it was found that blended cement concrete due to mineral admixtures such as fly ash(FA) and ground granulated blast-furnace slag(SGC), were superior to ordinary portland cement concrete with respect to the resistance to seawater attack. Moreover, XRD analysis indicated that the formed reactants of ordinary portland cement paste by sulfate and magnesium ions led to the deterioration of concrete. As expected, however, the blended cements with FA or SGC have a good resistance to seawater attack. This paper would discuss the mechanism of seawater deterioration and benefical effects of antiwashout underwater concretes with mineral admixtures.

The purpose of this study was to determine the optimum length distribution of hybrid PVA(Poly vinyl alcohol) fiber. To produce blended PVA fiber length, first the length distribution of PVA fiber in the cement composites were identified in an experimental study based on simplex lattice design. Among the different length distributions investigated, fiber length was found to have statistically significant effect on plastic shrinkage cracking of cement composites. Subsequently, Complex analysis techniques were used to devise an experimental program that helped determine the optimum combinations of the selected fiber length distribution based on plastic shrinkage crack. The optimum blended PVA length ratio was 0.0146% 4mm fiber, 0.0060% 6-mm fiber, 0.0285% 8-mm fiber, and 0.0209% 12-mm fiber.

Recently, carbon dioxide emissions have increased in succession according to the development of industry. also, cement of construction materials is being increased carbon dioxide during the manufacturing process. it is predicted that amount of carbon dioxide will be produced about 10 % in the world. as a way of solve this problem, it is used to reduce the amount of cement and to replace cement using industrial by-products such as blast furnace slag, fly ash, and red-mud. but, these are not advanced in our country. Thus, the purpose of this study is to analyze the strength property of binary blended geopolymer concrete. So, this study carries out the basic performance test of concrete such as, slump, air content and compressive strength.

This study relates to a production of Quaternary Cement Concrete (QCC) prepared by using Micro Silica (MS), Marble Dust (MD) and Rice Husk Ash (RHA), followed by an investigation towards fresh and hardened properties of blended concrete. A total of 39 mixes were cast by incorporating different percentages of MS (6%, 7% and 8%), MD (5%, 10% and 15%) and RHA (5%, 10%, 15% and 20%) as partial replacement of Ordinary Portland Cement. The workability of fresh concrete was maintained in the range of 100±25 mm by adding 0.7% of Super Plasticizer in the mix. Optimum mechanical strength was observed at combination of 8% MS+5% MD+10% RHA. Marble dust replacement from 10 to 15% and Rice husk ash replacements from 15 to 20% depicted a substantial reduction in compressive strength at all ages. Durability parameter with respect to water absorption at 28 days shows an increasing trend as the percentage of blending increases.

This study has examined the effect of bottom ash(BA) on the properties of low heat-blended cement(LHC) and concrete. A number of binders were prepared by the replacement of LHC with BA in range of 5$^{\sim}$20wt%. The results showed that the final setting time of cement paste were delayed when the BA replaced part of the cement. However, The heat of hydration increased narrowly with adding BA in a early hydration period. The results also showed the inclusion of BA at replacement levels of 5$^{\sim}$10wt% resulted in an increase in compressive strength of the specimens compared with that of the control concrete and improved a resistance of concrete against the sulfate and chlorine ion.

Recently, a variety of new cement-based materials have been developed, and attempts to predict the properties of these new materials are increasing. In this study, we aimed to predict the rheological properties of binary blended pastes. The cementitious materials used in the study included Portland cement (PC), fly ash (FA), blast furnace slag (BS), and silica fume (SF). The three binder components, fly ash, blast furnace slag, and silica fume, were blended with cement as the foundational composition. We predicted the yield stress and plastic viscosity of the pastes using the YODEL (Yield stress mODEL) and Krieger-Dougherty's equation. The predictive model's performance was validated by comparing it with experimental results obtained using a rheometer. When the rheological properties of the binary blended paste were predicted by reconstructing the properties and parameters used to predict the individual materials, it was evident that the predictions made using the proposed method closely matched the experimental results.

This study investigated the environmental risk for up-cycling of air-cooled ladle furnace slag (LFS) and evaluated the mortar compressive strength of binary and ternary blended cements using LFS of 3, 5, 10 wt%. Based on the Soil Environment Conservation Act standard, there was no environmental risk of the up-cycling of LFS. Results of mortar compressive strength assesment showed that the compressive strength of two blended cements using LFS of lower than 5 wt% was about 1.1 times superior to that of un-substituted cement (ordinary portland cement, OPC); however the compressive strength of those with LFS of 10 wt% decreased with 10% compared with that of OPC.

The use of ternary blended cement consisting of Portland cement, granulated blast-furnace slag (GGBFS) and fly ash has been on the rise to improve marine concrete structure's resistance to chloride attack. Therefore, this study attempted to investigate changes in chloride attack resistibility of concrete through NT Build 492-based chloride migration experiments and test of concrete's ability to resist chloride ion penetration under ASTM C 1202(KS F 2271) when 1.5-2.0% of alkali-sulfate activator (modified alkali sulfate type) was added to the ternary blended cement mixtures (40% ordinary Portland cement + 40% GGBFS + 20% fly ash). Then, the results found the followings: Even though the slump for the plain concrete slightly declined depending on the use of the alkali-sulfate activator, compressive strength from day 2 to day 7 improved by 17-42%. In addition, the coefficient from non-steady-state migration experiments for the plain concrete measured at day 28 decreased by 36-56% depending on the use of alkali-sulfate. Furthermore, total charge passed according to the test for electrical indication of concrete's ability to resist chloride ion penetration decreased by 33-62% at day 7 and by 31-48% at day 28. As confirmed in previous studies, reactivity in the GGBFS and fly ash improved because of alkali activation. As a result, concrete strength increased due to reduced total porosity.

This research presents the effect of various ground pozzolanic materials in blended cement concrete on the strength and chloride penetration resistance. An experimental investigation dealing with concrete incorporating ground fly ash (GFA), ground bottom ash (GBA) and ground rice husk ash (GRHA). The concretes were mixed by replacing each pozzolan to Ordinary Portland cement at levels of 0%, 10%, 20% and 40% by weight of binder. Three different water to cement ratios (0.35, 0.48 and 0.62) were used and type F superplasticizer was added to keep the required slump. Compressive strength and chloride permeability were determined at the ages of 28, 60, and 90 days. Furthermore, using this experimental database, linear and nonlinear multiple regression techniques were developed to construct a mathematical model of chloride permeability in concretes. Experimental results indicated that the incorporation of GFA, GBA and GRHA as a partial cement replacement significantly improved compressive strength and chloride penetration resistance. The chloride penetration of blended concrete continuously decreases with an increase in pozzolan content up to 40% of cement replacement and yields the highest reduction in the chloride permeability. Compressive strength of concretes incorporating with these pozzolans was obviously higher than those of the control concretes at all ages. In addition, the nonlinear technique gives a higher degree of accuracy than the linear regression based on statistical parameters and provides fairly reasonable absolute fraction of variance ($R^2$) of 0.974 and 0.960 for the charge passed and chloride penetration depth, respectively.

The main purpose of this research was to enhance the durability in both the design and construction of dams. Especially, in case of rockfill dams, the durability of face slab concrete in a concrete-faced rockfill dam(CFRD) is achieved by optimizing the fly ash replacement for cement and application of blended fiber. The effect on durability and thermal property corresponding to the increasing replacement of fly ash and application of blended fiber was evaluated, and the optimum value of fly ash replacement and blended fiber application was recommended. The results show that 15% of fly ash replacement and 0.9kg/m3 of blended fiber application was found to be an optimum level and demonstrated excellent performance in durability and thermal property.
