본 연구에서는 플라이애시 기반 지오폴리머에 황산나트륨을 첨가제로 사용하여 이에 대한 물리적 및 미세구조 특성을 분석하였다. 플라이애시 중량에 대해 0, 2, 4 및 6%를 황산나트륨으로 치환하였으며, 수산화나트륨과 액상규산나트륨(물유리)을 알칼리 활성화제로 사용하여 시편을 제작하였다. 재령 28일에 대한 압축강도, XRD, SEM 및 MIP 시험을 실시하였다. 황산나트륨 2wt% 및 4wt% 첨가는 플라이애시 기반 지오폴리머의 강도를 증진시켰지만, 6wt% 첨가는 강도 향상에 거의 영향을 주지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 강도 증진에 대한 황산나트륨의 적정 치환율이 있는 것으로 나타났으며, 압축강도에 대한 황산나트륨의 최적의 치환율은 4wt%인 것으로 판단된다. 황산나트륨 치환율이 증가함에 따라, 강도 증진 효과가 다름에도 불구하고 시편 내에 비결정질(amorphous phase) 뿐만 아니라 결정질(crystalline phase)에서 뚜렷한 차이가 없는 것으로 나타났다. 황산나트륨으로 치환하였을 경우, 플라이애시 기반 지오폴리머 내의 공극의 분포를 변화시킴에 따라 강도증진에 효과가 있는 것으로 판단된다. 황산나트륨 첨가는 시편 내의 생성된 반응생성물의 형상 및 Si/Al를 다르게 하여 강도에 영향을 미친 것으로 판단된다. 황산나트륨 치환에 따른 지오폴리머 내에 생성된 반응생성물의 Si/Al가 낮을수록 지오폴리머의 강도가 큰 것으로 나타났다. 황산나트륨 적정치환량은 지오폴리머의 반응생성물을 효과적으로 변화시켜 물리적 성질 향상에 기여를 하지만, 적정량 이상의 치환율 사용으로 변화된 지오폴리머 생성물은 matrix 내에서 불순물로 존재하여 강도 증진을 방해할 수 있는 가능성이 있는 것으로 판단된다.

Geopolymer cements and geopolymer resins are newly advanced mineral binders that are used in order to reduce the carbon dioxide generation that accompanies cement production. The effect of additives on the compressive strength of geopolymerized class-F fly ash was investigated. Blast furnace slag, calcium hydroxide($Ca(OH)_2$), and silica fume powders were added to fly ash. A geopolymeric reaction was initiated by adding a solution of water glass and sodium hydroxide(NaOH) to the powder mixtures. The compressive strength of pure fly ash cured at room temperature for 28 days was found to be as low as 291 $kgf/cm^{-2}$, which was not a suitable value for use in engineering materials. On the contrary, addition of 20 wt% and 40 wt% of blast furnace slag powders to fly ash increased the compressive strength to 458 $kgf/cm^{-2}$ and 750 $kgf/cm^{-2}$, respectively. 5 wt% addition of $Ca(OH)_2$ increased the compressive strength up to 640 $kgf/cm^{-2}$; further addition of $Ca(OH)_2$ further increased the compressive strength. When 2 wt% of silica fume was added, the compressive strength increased to 577 $kgf/cm^{-2}$; the maximum strength was obtained at 6 wt% addition of silica fume. It was confirmed that the addition of CaO and $SiO_2$ to the fly ash powders was effective at increasing the compressive strength of geopolymerized fly ash.

This paper describes laboratory tests carried out to evaluate the influence of class F fly ash (FA) on fracture toughness of plain concretes, specified at the third model fracture. Composites with the additives of: 0%, 20% and 30% siliceous FA were analysed. Fracture toughness tests were performed on axial torsional machine MTS 809 Axial/Torsional Test System, using the cylindrical specimens with dimensions of 150/300 mm, having an initial circumferential notch made in the half-height of cylinders. The studies examined effect of FA additive on the critical stress intensity factor $K_{IIIc}$. In order to determine the fracture toughness $K_{IIIc}$ a special device was manufactured.The analysis of the results revealed that a 20% FA additive causes increase in $K_{IIIc}$, while a 30% FA additive causes decrease in fracture toughness. Furthermore, it was observed that the results obtained during fracture toughness tests are convergent with the values of the compression strength tests.

This paper presents the effect of silica fume and nano silica, used individually and in combination with the set accelerator and/or hydrated lime, on the properties of class F high volume ultra fine fly ash (HV-UFFA) cement composites, replacing 80 % of cement (OPC). Compressive strength test along with thermogravimetric analysis, X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy were undertaken to study the effect of various elements on the physico-chemical behaviour of the blended composites. The results show that silica fume when used in combination with the set accelerator and hydrated lime in HV-UFFA cement mortar, improves its 7 and 28 day strength by 273 and 413 %, respectively, compared to the binary blended cement fly ash mortar. On the contrary, when nano silica is used in combination with set accelerator and hydrated lime in HV-UFFA cement mortar, the disjoining pressure in conjunction with the self-desiccation effect induces high early age micro cracking, resulting in hindering the development of compressive strength. However, when nano silica is used without the additives, it improves the 7 and 28 day strengths of HV-UFFA cement mortar by 918 and 567 %, respectively and the compressive strengths are comparable to that of OPC.

Geopolymers are an important alternative material supporting recycling, sustainability, and waste management. Durability properties are among the most critical parameters to be investigated; in this study, the durability of manufactured geopolymer samples under the attack of 10% magnesium sulfate and 10% sodium sulfate solution was investigated. 180 cycles of freezing and thawing were also tested. The experimentally obtained results investigate the durability of geopolymer mortar prepared with fly ash (class F) and alkali activator. Three different quarry dust wastes replaced the river sand aggregate: limestone, marble, and basalt powder as fine filler aggregate in three different replacement ratios of 25%, 50%, and 75% to produce ten series of geopolymer composites. The geopolymer samples' visual appearance, weight changes, UPV, and strength properties were studied for up to 12 months at different time intervals of exposure to sulfate solutions to investigate sulfate resistance. In addition, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), EDS, and XRD were used to study the microstructure of the samples. It was beneficial to include quarry waste as a filler aggregate in durability and mechanical properties. The compact matrix was demonstrated by microstructural analysis of the manufactured specimens. The geopolymer mortars immersed in sodium sulfate showed less strength reduction and deterioration than magnesium sulfate, indicating that magnesium sulfate is more aggressive than sodium sulfate. Therefore, it is concluded that using waste dust interrogation with partial replacement of river sand with fly ash-based geopolymers has satisfactory results in terms of durability properties of freeze-thaw and sulfate resistance.

The experimental investigations into hooked-end round steel fibers (HSF) effect on the age-dependent strengths of high volume fly ash (HVFA) concrete is studied. The concrete was prepared with class F fly ash used as partial cement replacement varied from 0% to 70% on an equal weight basis. Two percentages of HSF (i.e., 0.5% and 1.5% by volume fraction) of 50 mm length were added in plain, and 50% fly ash concrete mixes. The compressive and flexural tensile strength was determined at 7, 28, 56, and 90 days. The strength results of fly ash concrete mixes with and without steel fibers were compared with the plain concrete strength. The test results indicated that the strength of fly ash concrete is comparable with the plain concrete strength and further increases with an increase in the percentage of steel fibers. The maximum flexure strength of HVFA concrete is found with 0.5% steel fibers. It is concluded that the HVFA concrete with steel fibers of 50 mm length can effectively be used in concrete construction. The analytical models are proposed to predict the age-dependent compressive and flexural tensile strength of HVFA concrete with and without HSF. The compressive and tensile strength of HVFA concrete with HSF can be predicted using these models when the 28-day compressive strength of plain concrete is known. The present study will be helpful in the design and construction of reinforced and pre-stressed concrete structures made with HVFA and HSF.

The objective of this study is to present engineering properties required in use of co-mixtures of fly ash and WFS(Waste Foundry Sand)'s, which are Presently used as fill or (lovable backfill. The fly ash, generated at the Tae-An thermoelectric power plant was used in this research and was classified as Class F. Green Sand, Furane Sand, and Coated Sand, which had been used at a foundry located in Pusan, were used. Laboratory experiments were peformed to obtain the physical properties of the co-mixture of fly ash and WFS. The range of permeability for all the co-mixtures was from 3.0×10/sup -3/㎝/s to 6.0×10/sup -5/㎝/s. The unconfined strength of the 7-day cured specimens composed of Green Sand reached 94% of that of 28-day cured specimens but for the 7-day cured specimens composed of, respectively, Furnace Sand and Coated Sand, only 64% and 66% of the strength of the 28-day cured specimens were reached. Results of the consolidated-untrained triaxial test showed that the specimens composed of Furnace Sand showed a distinct increase of the internal friction angle, while the other specimens showed negligible increase. In the case of 28-day cured specimens, specimens composed of Furnace Sand showed an internal friction angle of 41.8°, while specimens of Green and Coated Sand showed those of 33.5° and 35.0°, respectively. From the shrinkage test, the shrinkage ratios of all specimens did not exceed 0.25%.

순환유동층 연소방식에서 발생하는 석탄재인 고칼슘 플라이애시를 활용한 무기결합재의 모르타르 및 콘크리트 물성 평가하였다. 그 결과 고온양생조건에서 CFA 혼입 모르타르의 재령 28일 압축강도는 혼입율 25% 범위에서 압축강도는 다소 증가하지만, 그 이상의 범위에서는 혼입율이 증가할수록 압축강도는 저하하는 경향을 보여, 고온양생 사용시 25%이내의 혼입율이 적정할 것으로 사료된다. 또한 고온양생의 경우 CFA 및 BFS 활용한 결합재를 사용한 콘크리트의 압축강도는 OPC를 사용한 콘크리트와 비교하여 재령 1일의 초기 강도 및 재령 28일 이후의 장기강도가 높게 발현되고 있으며, CFA 및 BFS 활용한 결합재 사용에 따른 압축강도 증진은 보다 효과적인 것으로 판단된다.
