Physical characteristics of cement-admixed clay such as water content, specific gravity, unit weight and void ratio are main factors for strength, compressibility and prediction of consolidation behavior. In the past, the physical characteristics of admixed soils could be understanded through complex laboratory tests and field survey after construction. In this study, the tests were performed with conditions such as clay water contents 0%-170%, cement contents 5%-25% and curing period 3-90days after that analyzed for changes which are water content, specific gravity unit weight and void ratio of admixed soils. A prediction of properties through mechanical relationships with clay in situ water content, cement content and curing period could be proposed using the test results. The prediction equation of void ratio of admixed soils was derived using void ratio equation in geotechnical engineering and compared with test results of bangkok clay and then this study could be verified.

Properties of the mortar and the remitar admixed with waterproofer(CS) which was made from cement-sludge were compared with those of the other waterproofers (DA, DD and DH). 1. The CS waterproofer appeared to have a good waterproofness(compressive strength-79%, water absorption ratio-60%, waterpermeability ratio-70%)in cement mortar. 2. The CS waterproofer appeared to have an excellent watertightness(compressive strength-125% water absorption ratio-45%, water permeability ratio-60%) in remitar.

Abrams equation could be effectively applied to predict strength of cement-admixed clay and clay-water content to cement content ratio is a fundamental parameter for governing strength. This paper analyses unconfined compression strength varying with $w_c/C$ and curing time using laboratory test results. An attempt is made to identify strength of composite soil of cement and clay according to variation of Abrams coefficients and curing time. The value B, which was considered to be constant value in past researches, needs to be considered as parameter variable with curing time. From Abrams equation a correlation was formed for unconfined compression strength with mixing conditions by $w_c/C$ and curing time as dependent variable. Regression results in this paper could be used to predict strength of cement-admixed clay at various mixing conditions.

For analysis of mechanics properties of soil cement, unconfined compressive strength has been proposed by existing case studies. In this study, mechanical changes with water content of silt, curing time and cement content were analyzed through unconfined compressive strength test. In addition, the changes for B factor by Abrams were compared with existing case studies after the prediction equations could be proposed about the unconfined compressive strength of admixed cement soil. Especially, the B constant factor was changed with soil characteristics and curing time. For analysis results of appropriateness status and unconfined compressive strength, consideration of variable form was titrated. The prediction equations at low plasticity silt admixed using the uniaxial compressive strength with applying Abrams's equation and considering cement content, curing time is proposed.

Tn this present study, the superhydrophobic surface was developed on the cement mortar surface by using water repellent materials. For better superhydropohicity, it was developed by using silane as binder and which was enriched with filler materials of SiO₂ and TiO₂ nanomaterials. Those nanomaterials enriched with silanes were admixed in cement mortar during casting time and another was coated on the cement mortar surface. The water repellent properties of spray coated and admixed cement mortars were evaluated by measuring the contact angle which was compared with normal cement mortar.

The purpose of this study evaluates possibilities of waste phosphogypsum into concerts by steam curing admixture. The waste phosphogypsum is made use of 4 forms(Dehydrate, $\beta$-Hemihydrate, III-Anhydrite and II-Anhydrite) which were changed to in low temperature of calcination. The penetration depth and compressive strength of cement mortar are investigated to evaluate the chloride ion and carbonation resistance. As a result, chloride ion and carbonation resistance of cement mortar admixed with waste phosphogypsum are more excellent than cement mortar contained OPC alone. The internal pores of cement mortar are decreased by using waste phosphogypsum, because the hydrates of ettringite which is denesified in structure is much formed in early ages at steam curing. These densified effect is concluded with improving the resistance to attack of cement mortar including waste phospogypsum.

The purpose of this study is to develope of alternative adimixture for manufacture of PHC pile(compressive strength above 800kg/$\textrm{cm}^2$). For the investigation, properties of alternative admixture admixed with II-anhydrite and pozollanic fine powders(e.q., Fly-ash, Silica-Fume), the fluidity and viscosity in the cement pastes, the fluidity and compressive strength in mortars at steam curing condition, were respectively examined. Also, properties of compressive strength of concretes with exiting admixture(specimen name SM) and alterantive admixture(specimen name AP) for PHC pile, at steam and standard curing condition, were compared each other. As a result of this experimental study, it was found that specimens admixed with II-anhydrite and pozollanic fine powders had an increase on the fluidity of cement paste and mortar, and compressive strength of mortar and concrete was as good as concrete with SM.

As II-anhydrite reacts with C3A(aluminate), C4AF(ferrite) at initial hydration of cement and assists the hydrolysis of C3S(calcium silicate), the production rate of ettringite(3C3A.3CaSO4.32H2O) and C-S-H gel was acclerated. It was known that compressive strength of cement concrete improved due to the effect of II-anhydrite. For the checking these effects of II-anhydrite, the fluidity and compressive strength of cementmortar admixed with II-anhydrite and pozollanic fine powders were investigated. By means of SEM analysis, the surface structure of mortar with the condition of steam curing at curing days=28 was investigated. As a result of this experiment, it was examined that II-anhydrite had an increase on the fluidity of cementpaste and compressive strength of mortar.

This paper represents the physical and engineering characteristics of admixed liners obtained from several laboratory tests. Fly ash and weathered granitic soil are selected as primary materials, and bentonite and cement are used as additives. The results show that the maximum dry density reaches peak values at 5% and 25% of bentonite for Seochon and Samchonpo fly ash respectively, and for the weathered granitic soil, the maximum dry density increases continuously as the amount of bentonite increases. The strength of the admixed materials is not sensitive to the bentonite content, although it increases when the additives is cement. The required amount of bentonite to reach the hydraulic conductivity less than 10-7cm/sec are 18, 30, 10% of the sample weights for Seochon and Samchonpo fly ashes and the weathered granitic soil. The amount of additives show significant differences and depend on the grain size and their distributions and the amount of fine content in the primary materials

This paper reports an experimental investigation conducted to evaluate the durability performance of concrete mixtures prepared utilizing blends of Type I Portland cement (OPC) and natural pozzolans (NPs) obtained from three different sources in Saudi Arabia. The control concrete mixture containing OPC alone as the binder and three concrete mixtures incorporating NPs were prepared keeping water/binder ratio of 0.4 (by weight), binder content of $370kg/m^3$, and fine/total aggregate ratio of 0.38 (by weight) invariant. The compressive strength and durability properties that included depth of water penetration, depth of carbonation, chloride diffusion coefficient, and resistance to reinforcement corrosion and sulfate attack were determined. Results of this study indicate that at all ages, the compressive strength of NP-admixed concrete mixtures was slightly less than that of the concrete containing OPC alone. However, the concrete mixtures containing NP exhibited lower depth of water penetration and chloride diffusion coefficient and more resistance to reinforcement corrosion and sulfate attack as compared to OPC. NP-admixed concrete showed relatively more depth of carbonation than OPC when subjected to accelerated carbonation. The results of this investigation indicates the viability of utilizing of Saudi natural pozzolans for improving the durability characteristics of concrete subjected to chloride and sulfate exposures.
