Two type of expanding cement generally referred to as CSA with Hauyne(3CaO 3Al2O3 CaSO4) and Quick lime(CaO). Hauyne is formed to ettringite when there are presented with CaO and CaSO4, and CaO reacts wtih water to form Ca(OH)2. REcently, the mechanism of compensation and expand mortar or concrete tend to same and it has been used improving on its shrink property. The volume of cement paste varies with its water content shrink with drying and re-wetting. Concrete and mortar works are required shrinking compensation and expansion properties to reduce of potential crack. The use of expansion cement may improve on its shrinking volume changes. CSA dosages for shrinking compensation limited by cement weight, but obtained difference expansion rate with varied W/C or inorganic admixture. This paper studies expansion rate according to expansion cement dosages, water and inorganic admixtures as Silica fume. Therefor, the expansion factor has to considered before the application.

Usually, the expansive additives is used to prevent the occurrence of drying shrinkage in concrete. However it may sometimes be over-added in field due to the insufficient cognition of constructor's, which may cause the serious problems in concrete structures. In this study the experiments are performed to present the expansion properties of concrete by varying the water to binder ratios, unit contents of expansive additives and curing conditions. By the results, the strength showed an increase with the addition of expansion additives from 30kg/㎥ up to 50kg/㎥, and a great decrease by contraries if the larger amount are added. Also the more the expansion additives were used, the more length change occurred in concrete. In view of the curing conditions, the concrete by air cured appeared a little expansion even the unit expansion additives increased, which showed an opposite inclination of that with standard curing. This could be explained by the less occurrence of hydration in air condition which also lead to the little expansion of concrete. Hence the expansion concrete to be cured in water or moisture condition became an especial important thing. concrete using expansive additives showed that high expansion was taken place with the rise of temperature.

In this study, the utilization of the by-products of various industries was examined using raw materials of CSA high-functional cement such as coal bottom ash, red mud, phosphate gypsum, etc. Technology to improve energy efficiency and reduce $CO_2$ was developed as part of the manufacturing process; this technology included lower temperature sintering ($150{\sim}200^{\circ}C$) than is used in the OPC cement manufacturing process, replacement of CSA cement with the main raw material bauxite, and a determination of the optimum mix condition. In order to develop CSA cement, a manufacturing system was established in the Danyang plant of the HANIL Cement Co. Ltd., in Korea. About 4,200 tons of low purity expansion agent CSA cement (about 16%) and about 850 tons of the lime-based expansion agent dead burned lime (about 8%) were produced at a rate of 60 tons per hour at the HANIL Cement rotary kiln. To improve the OPC cement properties, samples of 10%, 13%, and 16% of CSA cement were mixed with the OPC cement and the compressive strength and length variation rate of the green cement were examined. When green cement was mixed with each ratio of CSA cement and OPC cement, the compressive strength was improved by about 30% and the expansibility of the green cement was also improved. When green cement was mixed with 16% of CSA cement, the compressive strength was excellent compared with that of OPC cement. Therefore, this study indicates the possibility of a practical use of low-cost CSA cement employing industrial wastes only.
