Nowadays, antiwashout underwater concrete is widely used for constructing underwater concrete structures but they, especially placed in marine environment, can be easily attacked by chemical ions such as SO$\^$2-/$\_$4/ Cl$\^$-/ and Mg$\^$2＋/, so the quality and capability of concrete structures go down. In this paper, to solve and improve those matters, flyash and GGBFS(ground granulated blast furnace slag) were used as partial replacements for ordinary portland cement. As results of experiments for fundamental properties of antiwashout underwater concrete containing 10, 20, 30％ of flyash and 40, 50, 60 ％ of GGBFS respectively, setting time, air contents, suspended solids and pH value were satisfied with the "Standard Specification of Antiwashout Admixtures for Concrete" prescribed by KSCE, and also slump flow, efflux time and elevation of head were more improved than that of control concrete. From the compressive strength test, it was revealed that the antiwashout underwater concrete containing mineral admixtures(flyash and GGBFS) is more effective for long term compressive strength than control concrete. An attempt to know how durable when they are under chemical attack has also been done by immersing in chemical solutions that were x2 artificial seawater, 5 ％ sulphuric acid solution, 10％, sodium sulfate solution and 10％ calcium chloride solution. After immersion test for 91days, XRD analysis was carried out to investigate the reactants between cement hydrates and chemical ions and some crystalline such as gypsum ettringite and Fridel′s salt were confirmed.

Despite the significant features of fiber-reinforced cementitious composites (FRCCs), including better mechanical, fractural, and durability performance, their high content of cement has restricted their use in the construction industry. Although ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS) is considered the main supplementary cementitious material, its slow pozzolanic reaction stands against its application. The addition of nano-sized mineral modifiers, including nano-silica (NS), is an alternative to address the drawbacks of using GGBFS. The main object of this empirical and numerical research is to examine the effect of NS on the strain-hardening behavior of cementitious composites; ten mixes were designed, and five levels of NS were considered. This study proposes a new method, using a four-point bending test to assess the use of nano-silica (NS) on the flexural behavior, first cracking strength, fracture energy, and micromechanical parameters including interfacial friction bond strength and maximum bridging stress. Digital image correlation (DIC) was used for monitoring the initiation and propagation of the cracks. In addition, to attain a deep comprehension of fiber/matrix interaction, scanning electron microscope (SEM) analysis was used. It was discovered that using nano-silica (NS) in cementitious materials results in an enhancement in the matrix toughness, which prevents multiple cracking and, therefore, strain-hardening. In addition, adding NS enhanced the interfacial transition zone between matrix and fiber, leading to a higher interfacial friction bond strength, which helps multiple cracking in the composite due to the hydrophobic nature of polypropylene (PP) fibers. The findings of this research provide insight into finding the optimum percent of NS in which both ductility and high tensile strength of the composites would be satisfied. As a concluding remark, a new criterion is proposed, showing that the optimum value of nano-silica is 2%. The findings and proposed method of this study can facilitate the design and utilization of green cementitious composites in structures.

This paper aims to investigate the effects of replacing cement with ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS) in self compacting concrete in the fresh and hardened state. The performance of SCC in moderate climate is well investigated but few studies are available on the effect of hot environment. In this paper, the effect of initial water-curing period and curing conditions on the performance of SCC is reported. Cement was substituted by GGBFS by weight at two different levels of substitution (15% and 25%). Concrete specimens were stored either in a standard environment (T=$20^{\circ}C$, RH=100%) or in the open air in North Africa during the summer period (T=35 to $40^{\circ}C$; R.H=50 to 60%) after an initial humid curing period of 0, 3, 7 or 28 days. Compressive strength at 28 and 90 days, capillary absorption, sorptivity, water permeability, porosity and chloride ion penetration were investigated. The results show that the viscosity and yield stress are decreased with increasing dosage of GGBFS. The importance of humid curing in hot climates in particular when GGBFS is used is also proved. The substitution of cement by GGBFS improves SCC durability at long term. The best performances were observed in concrete specimens with 25% GGBFS and for 28 days water curing.

본 연구에서는 고강도 고함량 고로슬래그 콘크리트의 개발을 위해 고로슬래그 미분말(GGBFS)을 65%까지 치환한 물-결합재비 23%의 고강도 콘크리트를 대상으로 압축강도 발현 특성과 내구성을 분석하였다. 연구 결과에 따르면 GGBFS를 65% 혼입한 고강도 콘크리트의 압축강도는 재령 3일까지는 보통 포틀랜드 시멘트(OPC)만을 사용한 콘크리트보다 낮지만 재령 7일 이후부터 더 높아지는 것으로 나타났으며, 강도의 증가와 함께 공극구조가 더 치밀해짐으로써 염소이온 투과 저항성이 커지고, 이로인해 별도의 공기연행 없이도 우수한 동결융해 저항성을 확보할 수 있으며, 수산화칼슘의 감소에도 불구하고 우수한 탄산화 저항성을 나타냈다. 반면 실리카퓸(SF)을 GGBFS와 함께 혼입하면 GGBFS만 혼입한 경우보다 강도는 낮아지고 염소이온 투과 저항성이 낮아지는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 향후 고강도 고함량 고로슬래그 콘크리트에서의 SF의 반응에 대한 심층적인 연구가 요망된다.

본 연구는 알칼리 활성화된 다성분계 시멘트에서 카올린(kaolinite, KA)의 효과에 다른 강도 특성에 관한 것이다. 연구에는 고로슬래그 미분말(GGBFS), 플라이애시(FA), 실리카 퓸(SF) 그리고 카올린(KA)을 결합재로 사용하였다. 시험체는 20% ~ 70% GGBFS, 10% ~ 60% FA, 10% SF(고정 비율) 그리고 10% ~ 50% KA의 범위로 혼합하였다. 물/결합재 비는 0.5이다. 결합재는 수산화나트륨(NaOH)과 규산나트륨($Na_2SiO_3$)을 전체 결합재(GGBFS + FA + SF + KA) 중량의 10% (10% NaOH + 10% $Na_2SiO_3$)비율로 사용하였다. 실험은 압축강도, 물 흡수율, 초음파 속도, 건조수축과 X-ray diffraction (XRD)를 수행하였다. 압축강도는 KA의 양이 증가할수록 감소하였다. 강도감소의 중요한 원인중 하나는 GGBFS 또는 FA와 비교하여 KA의 낮은 활성화 때문이다. 수화가 진행되는 동안 KA는 완전하게 반응하지 않았다. 또한 KA의 양이 증가할수록 UPV는 모든 시험체에서 감소하였다. 건조수축과 물 흡수율은 KA의 양이 증가함에 따라 증가하였다. 이러한 시험결과를 통해 다성분계 시멘트의 강도 특성은 KA와 GGBFS의 양에 큰 영향을 받는 것을 확인하였다.

본 연구는 물-결합재비 20%를 가지는 고강도 고함량 고로슬래그 혼합 시멘트 페이스트의 유동성, 수화열, 응결시간 그리고 강도 발현 특성, 수화 및 포졸란 반응 특성 등을 실험을 통해 관찰하고, 이를 통해 고로슬래그 미분말의 치환률과 분말도가 수화 및 포졸란 반응에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 연구 결과에 따르면 물-결합재비가 낮은 고강도 배합에서는 고로슬래그 미분말로 시멘트를 대체함으로써 시멘트와 결합하는 자유수가 상대적으로 증가하는 dilution effect에 의해 시멘트의 초기 수화가 촉진되어 재령 3일부터 28일까지의 초기 강도는 보통 포틀랜드 시멘트만을 사용한 배합보다 더 높게 나타났다. 반면, 재령이 증가하면서 수화반응속도가 급격히 낮아지고, 고로슬래그 미분말로 시멘트를 대량 치환함에 따라 수산화칼슘이 충분히 공급되지 못하므로 포졸란 반응도가 낮아져 장기강도의 발현이 억제되는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 고로슬래그의 분말도가 높으면 자유수를 더 많이 흡착함으로써 유동성이 저하되고 수화도가 낮아져 강도가 오히려 저하되는 것으로 나타났다. 이와 같은 결과는 보통 강도 콘크리트와는 다른 경향을 나타내는 것으로 향후 콘크리트 배합에 대해 추가 검증이 필요하며, 고로슬래그 미분말을 대량 혼합한 고강도 콘크리트의 개발을 위해서는 장기 강도의 발현율을 더 높일 수 있는 방안에 대한 연구가 필요하다.

The present investigation is to identify an optimum mix combination amongst 28 different types of artificial lightweight aggregates by pelletization method with aggregate properties. Artificial aggregates with different combinations were manufactured from fly ash, cement, hydrated lime, ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS), silica fume, metakaolin, sodium bentonite and calcium bentonite, at a standard 17 minutes pelletization time, with 28% of water content on a weight basis. Further, the artificial aggregates were air-dried for 24 hours, followed by hardening through the cold-bonding (water curing) process for 28 days and then testing with different physical and mechanical properties. The results found the lowest impact strength value of 16.5% with a cement-hydrated lime (FCH) mix combination. Moreover, the lowest water absorption of 16.5% and highest individual pellet crushing strength of 36.7 MPa for 12 mm aggregate with a hydrated lime-GGBFS (FHG) mix combination. The results, attained from different binder materials, could be helpful for manufacturing high strength artificial aggregates.

Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag (GGBFS) is widely used as an effective partial cement replacement material. GGBFS inclusion has already been proven to improve several performance characteristics of concrete. GGBFS provides enhanced durability, including high resistance to chloride penetration and protection against alkali silica reaction. In this paper results of an experimental research work on influence of low-reactivity GGBFS (which is largely available in Iran) on the properties of mortars and concretes are reported. In the first stage, influence of GGBFS replacement level and fineness on the compressive strength of mortars was investigated using Taguchi method. The analysis of mean (ANOM) statistical approach was also adopted to develop the optimal conditions. Next, based on the obtained results, concrete mixtures were designed and water penetration, capillary absorption, surface resistivity, and compressive strength tests were carried out on highstrength concrete specimens at different ages up to 90 days. The results indicated that 7-day compressive strength is adversely affected by GGBFS inclusion, while the negative effect is less evident at later ages. Also, it was inferred that use of low-reactivity GGBFS (at moderate levels such as 20% and 30%) can enhance the impermeability of high-strength concrete since 28 days age.
