본 연구에서는 액상 레드머드를 첨가한 시멘트계 재료의 강도저하를 개선하기 위해서, pH가 10~12인 액상 레드머드(LRM)에 황산을 첨가하여 pH를 6~8로 조절한 중화레드머드(LRM+S)를 제조하였다. LRM과 LRM+S를 각각 시멘트 페이스트에 첨가하여 수화열, 압축강도, 수화생성물을 확인하였다. 수화열 측정결과 LRM을 첨가한 시멘트 페이스트는 Plain와 비교하여 발열량이 낮고 수화속도가 지연되었지만, LRM+S를 첨가한 시멘트 페이스트는 Plain의 수화열 피크와 유사하게 나타났다. 압축강도 측정결과 PS-LRM의 압축강도는 모든 재령에서 Plain의 압축강도보다 저하되었고 28일 재령에서 55% 수준을 나타내었다. 반면에 PS-LRM+S의 압축강도는 Plain의 압축강도와 비교하여 28일 재령에서 유사한 수준을 나타내었다. XRD 분석 결과 PS-LRM는 3일부터 Ca(OH)2 피크가 확인되었지만, PS-LRM+S의 경우 Plain과 유사하게 1시간부터 Ca(OH)₂ 피크가 나타났다. 따라서 강알칼리성의 액상 레드머드에 황산을 첨가하여 중화레드머드를 제조하여 시멘트계 재료에 첨가하면 강도저하를 개선할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

금속염으로 산화아연(ZnO)과 규불화수소산($H_2SiF_6$)을 이용하여 용액법으로 규불화아연($ZnSiF_6$, 농도 15%)을 제조하고 이를 시멘트용 혼화제로 첨가하여 시멘트의 유동성과 수화특성에 미치는 영향을 파악하였다. 규불화아연의 첨가량을 시멘트량 대비 1.0∼4.0%로 증가시켜 첨가한 시멘트 페이스트의 초기 유동성과 유동성의 경시변화를 측정하였다. 초기 유동성은 mini-slump 시험을 통해 평가하였고, 유동성의 경시변화는 slump loss 시험을 통해 평가하였다. 또한 규불화아연을 시멘트에 1.0∼3.0%로 첨가하였을 때 시멘트의 응결시간에 미치는 영향과 시멘트 수화열 변화에 미치는 영향을 파악하였다. 시멘트 페이스트의 유동성은 규불화아연이 2.1% 첨가되었을 때 가장 높게 나타났으나 경시변화는 다소 큰 것으로 나타났다. 시멘트 응결시간은 규불화아연의 첨가량 증가에 따라 지연되는 특성을 보였으며, 시멘트 수화열은 첨가량에 비례하여 감소되는 경향을 보였다.

Effects of ultrafinely ground ash on the rheological properties of cement paste were investigated. Also compressive strength development and setting time of ultrafine ash blended cement mortar were investigated in the study. A sample with silica fume was included for comparison. According to the results of ultra fine ash blended cement paste in the lower W/B ratio, the fluidity were high, and the setting time was a little retarded. And the compressive strength of ultrafine ash blended mortar was increased in the long term. In the case of hardened cement paste at 28 days, $Ca(OH)_2$ contents was decreased in order of control, ultrafine ash, silica fume blended cement due to difference of the pozzolanic reaction.

In this study, the evolution of the electro-mechanical impedance (EMI) of a piezoelectric (PZT) patch embedded in fresh cement paste was investigated to discuss the possibility of monitoring the setting process of cement-based materials using an EMI sensing technique. A tailored thin square PZT patch was embedded in cement paste before casting, and EMI signatures of the embedded patch were continuously measured from casting up to 12 hours. A standard penetration resistance test was performed to compare and correlate the evolution of EMI during the setting process. The results showed that EMI responses differ according to the age of the cement paste, and that the behavior of the EMI resonance peak has a clear correlation with the penetration resistance of the cement paste. Based on the results, it is concluded that an EMI sensing technique using embedded PZT patch can be effectively applied to monitor the setting process of cement-based materials.

In this study, the effect of superplasticizers on the dispersibility and hydration properties of cement with silica fume were investigated. Superplasticizers are used Naphthalene type, Ligno-sulfate type and polycarboxylate type. Compared with plastic viscosity of cement paste without superplasticizers(Plain), plastic viscosity of cement paste with superplasticizers are reduced and yield stress of cement pastes with each superplasticizer is increased rather than Plain. And then, plastic viscosity of cement paste with Naphthalene type superplasticizer was the least of all types. Compared with other two types, setting and hydration of cement paste with Polycarboxylate type(PC) superplasticizer is very fast. At compressive strength after 3-day, PC is higher than other two types, But, compressive strength of after 7-day and 28-day, PC is smaller than other two types.

The main purpose of this study includes investigation of the rheological properties of fresh self consolidating cement paste containing chemical and mineral additives using Artificial Neural Network (ANN) model. In order to develop the model, 200 different mixes are cast in the laboratory as a part of an extensive experimental research program. The data used in the ANN model are arranged in a format of fourteen input parameters covering water-binder ratio, four different mineral additives (calcium carbonate, metakaolin, silica fume, and limestone), five different superplasticizers based on the poly carboxylate and naphthalene and four different Viscosity Modified Admixtures (VMAs). Two common output parameters including the mini slump value and flow cone time are chosen for measuring the rheological properties of fresh self consolidating cement paste. Having validated the model, the influence of effective parameters on the rheological properties of fresh self consolidating cement paste is investigated based on the ANN model outputs. The output results of the model are then compared with the results of previous studies performed by other researchers. Ultimately, the analysis of the model outputs determines the optimal percentage of additives which has a strong influence on the rheological properties of fresh self consolidating cement paste. The proposed ANN model shows that metakaolin and silica fume affect the rheological properties in the same manner. In addition, for providing the suitable rheological properties, the ANN model introduces the optimal percentage of metakaolin, silica fume, calcium carbonate and limestone as 15, 15, 20 and 20% by cement weight, respectively.

This study aimed to develop reference materials (RMs) that are chemically stable and can simulate the flow characteristics of cement paste. To this end, the candidate components of RMs were selected considering the currently required properties of RMs. Limestone, slag, silica, and kaolin were selected as substitutes for cement, while glycerol and corn syrup were selected as matrix fluids. Moreover, distilled water was used for mixing. To select the combinations of materials that meet all the required properties of RMs, flow characteristics were first analyzed. The results revealed that silica and kaolin exhibited bilateral nonlinearity. When an analysis was conducted over time, slag exhibited chemical reactions, including strength development. Moreover, fungi were observed in all mixtures with corn syrup. On the other hand, the combination of limestone, glycerol, and water exhibited a performance that met all the required properties of RMs. Thus, limestone, glycerol, and water were selected as the components of the RMs. When the influence of each component of the RMs on flow characteristics was analyzed, it was found that limestone affects the yield value, while the ratio of water and glycerol affects the plastic viscosity. Based on this, it was possible to select the mixing ratios for the RMs that can simulate the flow characteristics of cement paste under each mixing ratio. This relationship was established as an equation, which was verified under various mixing ratios. Finally, when the flow characteristics were analyzed under various temperature conditions, cement paste and the RMs exhibited similar tendencies in terms of flow characteristics. This indicated that the combinations of the selected materials could be used as RMs that can simulate the flow characteristics of cement paste with constant quality under various mixing ratio conditions and construction environment conditions.

By virtue of chord-length density function from the field of statistical physics, this paper introduced a quantitative approach to estimate the distribution of cement paste thickness between aggregates in concrete. Dynamics mixing method based on molecular dynamics was employed to generate one model structure, then image analysis algorithm was used to obtain the distribution of thickness of cement paste in model structure for the purpose of verification. By comparison of probability density curves and cumulative probability curves of the cement paste thickness among neighboring aggregates, it is found that the theoretical results are consistent with the simulation. Furthermore, for the model mortar and concrete mixtures with practical volume fraction of Fuller-type aggregate, this analytical formula was employed to predict the influence of aggregate volume fraction and aggregate fineness. And evolution of its mean values were also investigated with the variation of volume fraction of aggregate as well as the fineness of aggregates in model mortars and concretes.

Embedded piles, which are typically used in Korea, are precast piles inserted into prebored ground with cement paste. Dynamic pile tests tend to underestimate the bearing capacity of embedded piles because of the undeveloped shaft resistance prior to the curing of the cement paste and the insufficient energy transferred after the curing. In this study, a resistance combination method using the base resistance before the cement paste is cured and the shaft resistance after the cement paste is cured is proposed to obtain a combined load-settlement curve from dynamic pile tests. Two pairs of embedded piles with diameters of 600 and 500 mm are installed. Each pair comprises one pile for the dynamic pile test and another pile for the static load test. The shape of the load-settlement curve obtained using the proposed method is similar to that obtained from the static load test. Thus, the resistances evaluated using the proposed method at selected settlements are similar to those obtained from the static load test. This study shows that the resistance combination method may be used effectively in dynamic pile tests to accurately evaluate the bearing capacity of embedded piles.

This study was carried out in order to investigate the relationship roundness of fly ashes and fluidity of fly ash cement paste. electrostatic precipitator system in coal-fired power plant have many successive collection fields in the direction of flue gas travel. In experiment, the roundness of fly ashes collected from the same location had similar values regardless of the load or boiler, and they increased going from the 1st collection filed to third collection filed in the direction of gas movement. In considering the relation between roundness of fly ashes and fluidity of fly ash cement paste, it has a high correlation.
