In this paper, effects of magnetic water on different properties of cement paste including fluidity, compressive strength, time of setting and etc, has been studied in concrete laboratory of Sahand University of Technology. For production of magnetic water, three devices including an AFM called device(made in UAE), a device marked AC(made in Germany) and finally a device was designed and made in Concrete Laboratory of Sahand University of Technology) have been used. The results show that, intensity and direction of magnetic field, velocity and time of water passing through magnetic device, and amount and type of Colloidal particles have direct effects on properties of magnetic water and using such a water in making cement paste, increases its fluidity and compressive strength up to 10%.

The formulation of self-compacting concretes (SCC) and the study of their properties at the laboratory level were currently well mastered. The aim of this work is to characterize SCC under hot climatic conditions and their effects on the properties of fresh and hardened SCC. Particularly, the effect of the initial wet curing time on the mechanical behavior such as the compressive strength and the durability of the SCCs (acid and sulfate attack) as well as the microstructure of SCCs mixtures. In this study, we used two types of cement, Portland cement and slag cement, three water/binder (W/B) ratio (0.32, 0.38 and 0.44) and five curing modes. The obtained results shows that the compressive strength is strongly influenced by the curing methods, 7-days of curing in the water and then followed by a maturing in a hot climate was the optimal duration for the development of a better compressive strength, regardless of the type of binder and the W/B ratio.

In this paper, the properties of concrete used recycled aggregate are analyzed. The specimens are manufactured for the compressive strength of 210㎏/㎠ with recycled aggaregate ratio of 0%, 20%, 40%, 60%, 80%, 100%, respectivey. At curing 28days, compressive strength, tensile strength, flexural strength, dry-shrinkage, static modulus of elasticity and poission's ratio have been tested according to replacement ratio of recycled aggregate.

In this paper, the properties of inter-lacking block by the kind of aggregate and fineness modulus are investigated. According to the experimental results, compressive strength and flexural strength increase and absorption ratio decrease with larger fineness modulus in the range of 2.15~4.20. Flexural strength with river sand is higher than that with crushed sand by about 19%, compressive strength with river sand, that with crushed sand by about 11% and absorption ratio with river sand is smaller than that with crushed sand by abort 2%.

In recent years, the emergence of nanotechnology and nanomaterial has created hopes to improve various properties of concrete. Nano silica as one of these materials has been introduced as a cement replacement material for concrete mixture in construction applications. It can modify the properties of concrete, due to high pozzolanic reactions and also making a denser microstructure. On the other hand, it is well recognized that the use of mineral admixtures such as silica fume affects the mechanical properties and durability of cementitious materials. In addition, the superior performance of self-consolidating concrete (SCC) and self-consolidating mortars (SCM) over conventional concrete is generally related to their ingredients. This study investigates the effect of nano silica and silica fume on the compressive strength and chloride permeability of self-consolidating mortars. Tests include compressive strength, rapid chloride permeability test, water permeability, capillary water absorption, and surface electrical resistance, which carried out on twenty mortar mixtures containing zero to 6 percent of nano silica and silica fume. Results show that SCMs incorporating nano silica had higher compressive strength at various ages. In addition, results show that nano silica has enhanced the durability SCMs and reduced the chloride permeability.

This study investigates influence of particle properties of crushed sand on the duality of concrete. The test shows that an increase of fineness modulus(FM) resulted in high slump and air contents, while compressive strength decreased due to decreased adhesion with reduction of surface area. As grain shape become rounder, the slump of concrete increased, due to reduction of internal friction, and increased air contents. The reduction of adhesion by abrasion of surface declined compressive strength during the process of manufacturing crushed sand. Increase of powder contents decreased slump and it also decreased air contents due to the effect of filling air void. In addition. using powder contents increased compressive strength, but could not find any difference of bleeding and tensile strength with particle properties.

Mechanical, physical and petrographic properties of seventeen marble specimens collected from ten marble mines in Korea were investigated. Studied marbles were mainly composed of calcite, dolomite, and various amounts of serpentine, tremolite, olivine, quartz and opaque minerals. Complete and sutured textures were dominant. Compressive strength measured normal to the bedding plane is larger almost two times than that measured parallel to the bedding plane. From the results of Shore hardness test on marbles, water content was an important factor to decrease Shore hardness values. Engineering geological properties, especially, compressive strength, Young's modulus, wear resistance and water absorption could be controlled by the presence of quartz, and the type of marble texture. Water absorption-porosity, compressive strength-Young's modulus, and impact strength index-Los Angeles abrasion couples show good correlation. According to the comparative utility as commercial stone, it could be concluded that marbles from the Banglim mine, Songbo mine, Kwangdeok mine and Bongjeong mine were superior to that of other studied marbles.

This paper presents the experimental investigations on the compressive strength and permeation properties of geopolymer concrete prepared with low calcium fly ash as the primary binder activated with different percentage of Alccofine. The durability aspect was investigated by performing permeable voids and water absorption tests since permeability directly influences the durability properties. The test results show that Alccofine significantly improves the compressive strength and reduces the water permeability thus enhances the durability of geopolymer concrete at ambient curing regime which encourages the use of geopolymer concrete at ambient curing condition thus promising its use in general construction also.

대형 현장의 경우 다수의 레미콘사에서 콘크리트를 납품받게 되는 경우가 많으나 동일 콘크리트 배합표를 사용하더라도 재료와 제조장비의 등의 차로 인해 품질에 편차가 있을 것으로 생각된다. 하지만 그러한 검토 실적은 미비한 실정에 본 연구에서는 부산 지역의 12개 레미콘사에서 납품 받은 콘크리트를 대상으로 굳기 전 콘크리트 물성 및 압축강도, 염소이온 확산계수를 측정하였다. 굳기 전 콘크리트 물성은 기준을 만족하였고 압축강도는 설계기준 압축강도 대비 128%를 나타내었다. 염소이온 확산계수의 경우도 큰 편차없이 설계기준 압축강도별 평균값을 도출할 수 있었다. 압축강도는 강도가 높을수록 편차가 컸으며 염소이온 확산계수는 강도가 낮을수록 편차가 큰 경향을 파악할 수 있었다.

This paper presents procedure and prediction method of internal and external stabilities when designing D.C.M, with main factors to be considered, such as chemical reaction of additive, physical properties of stabilized body and mixing strength. Results show that through case studies, a design unconfined compressive strength of stabilized body (hereafter referred to as 'compressive strength') directly depends on the quantity of cement, which is decided by laboratory test, and the compressive strength enormously affects internal and external stabilities. So laboratory mixing test to obtain the compressive strength for design allowable stress should be given careful considerations.
