임피던스 측정법은 시멘트 페이스트의 수화 진행 시 미세구조의 연속적인 변화를 분석하는데 유용한 수단으로 이용되어 왔다. 본 실험에서는 고로슬래그의 첨가량과 분말도를 달리하여 보통 포틀랜드 시멘트에 첨가한 후 나타나는 페이스트의 초기 수화거동을 임피던스 측정법을 이용하여 관찰하였다. 고로 슬래그가 시멘트에 치환 첨가되면, 수화 초기에는 $R_{t (s+1)}$(고상과 액상에 의한 저항)과 $R_{t(int)}$의 증가폭이 감소하였다. 이것은 고로 슬래그를 포함한 시멘트의 수화가 초기재령에서는 늦게 진행되고 있음을 보여준다. 고로 슬래그의 첨가량이 증가할 수록 $R_{t(s+1)}$이 감소하였으며, 수화 72시간에 출현하는 반원의 직경, $R_{t(int)}$ 역시 고로 슬래그의 첨가량이 증가할 수록 감소하고 있다. 그러나, 첨가된 고로 슬래그의 분말도가 클수록 수화 초기부터 $R_{t(s+1)}$과 $R_{t(int)}$의 수치가 증가하였다.

본 실험에서는 Impedance Spectroscopy(IS)를 이용하여 플라이 애쉬, 고로 슬래그, 실리카 퓸 등의 혼합재가 치환 첨가된 포틀랜드 시멘트의 수화거동을 검토하였다. 플라이 애쉬 및 고로 슬래그가 시멘트에 치환 첨가될 경우, 수화 초기 IS 의 전기적 변수, $R_{t(s+1)}$과 $R_{t(s+1)}$의 증가폭이 감소하였다. 이것은 동일한 W/C비에서 혼합재를 포함한 시멘트의 수화가 늦게 진행되고 있음을 보여준다. 그러나, 실리카 퓸의 경우 초기에 매우 빠른 포졸란 반응성으로 인하여 플라이 애쉬 및 고로 슬래그가 첨가된 경우에 비해 큰 폭의 $R_{t(s+1)}$ 및 $R_{t(s+1)}$ 변화를 확인 할 수 있었다. OPC-플라이 애쉬계의 경우 반원과 직선 영역 사이에서 특이 할만한 평할한 곡선 영역이 출현하였으며, 수화가 진행되고 플라이 애쉬의 치환첨가량이 증가할수록 그 영역이 증가하였다.

본 논문에서는 석고형태에 따른 belite-rich cement(BRC)의 수화성상 및 혼화제의 흡착거동으로부터 시멘트의 유동성에 미치는 영향성을 조사하였다. 또한, 보통 포틀랜드 시멘트(OPC)의 경우와도 그 영향성을 비교 검토하였다. 유동특성을 측정한 결과, 폴리카르복실산계 혼화제 사용시 반수와 이수석고를 첨가한 BRC가 미니슬럼프 값이 약 $\pm$20cm 근방의 수치를 보였으며, 무수석고를 첨가한 것과 OPC에서는 낮은 슬럼프치를 보였다. 초기 수화의 경우, XRD와 DSC에서 Ca(OH)$_2$의 생성량의 정도가 BRC 2-C(반수)>BRC 1-C(이수)>BRC 3-C(무수)의 순서로 줄어들기 때문에 장기강도측면에서도 반수석고와 이수석고를 동시에 사용하는 것이 우수할 것으로 추정된다. 또한 이 결과는 비표면적의 데이터와도 일치함을 보였다.

Tropical organic soils having more than 65% of organic matters are named "peat". This soil type is extremely soft, unconsolidated, and possesses low shear strength and stiffness. Different conventional and industrial binders (e.g., lime or Portland cement) are used widely for stabilisation of organic soils. However, due to many factors affecting the behaviour of these soils (e.g., high moisture content, fewer mineral particles, and acidic media), the efficiency of the conventional binders is low and/or cost-intensive. This research investigates the impact of different constituents of cement-sodium silicate grout system on the compressibility behaviour of organic soil, including settlement and void ratio. A microstructure analysis is also carried out on treated organic soil using Scanning Electron Micrographs (SEM), Energy Dispersive X-ray spectrometer (EDX), and X-ray Diffraction (XRD). The results indicate that the settlement and void ratio of treated organic soils decrease gradually with the increase of cement and kaolinite contents, as well as sodium silicate until an optimum value of 2.5% of the wet soil weight. The microstructure analysis also demonstrates that with the increase of cement, kaolinite and sodium silicate, the void ratio and porosity of treated soil particles decrease, leading to an increase in the soil density by the hydration, pozzolanic, and polymerisation processes. This research contributes an extra useful knowledge to the stabilisation of organic soils and upgrading such problematic soils closer to the non-problematic soils for geotechnical applications such as deep mixing.

Self-Curing Self Compacting Concrete (SCSCC), is a special concrete in contemporary construction practice aimed at enhancing the performance of structural concrete. Its primary function is to ensure a sufficient moisture supply that facilitates hydration along with flow, particularly in the context of high-rise buildings and tall structures. This innovative concrete addresses the challenges of maintaining adequate curing conditions in large-scale projects, maintaining requisite workability, contributing to the overall durability and longevity of concrete structures. For implementing such a versatile material in construction, it is imperative to understand the stress-strain (S-S) behaviour. The primary aim of this study is to develop the S-S curves for TCSCSCC and compare through experimental results. Finite element (FE) analysis based ATENA-GiD was employed for the numerical simulation and develop the analytical stress-strain curves by introducing parameters viz., grade of concrete, tie diameter, tie spacing and yield strength. The stress ratio and the strain ratios are evaluated and compared with experimental values. The mean error is 1.2% with respect to stresses and 2.2% in case of strain. Finally, the stress block parameters for tie confined SCSCC are evaluated and equations are proposed for the same in terms of confinement index.

Fine powder of $\alpha$-tricalcium phosphate, tetracalcium phosphate and dicalcium phosphate were mixed together to prepare self-setting cements which form hydroxyapatite, one of the well-known biocompatible materials, as the end of products of hydration. Hardening behaviour of the cements was examined at the temperature range of 37~$70^{\circ}C$ and 150~$250^{\circ}C$ under the normal and hydrothermal condition respectively. The conversion of cements into hydroxyapatite was significantly improved ast elevated temperature and the paste was strengtheed by interlocking of hydroxyapatite crystals, indicating that the strength is determined by microtexture rather the amount of conversion of cements into hydroxyapatite.

The temperature and stress behaviour of mass concrete pier at early ages was analysed based on the finite element method. The pier investigated is a three-dimensional structure of which the cross-sectional shape varies from a circle to an ellipsoid along the longitudinal axis. In order to obtain the transient temperature and stress distributions in the structure, a three dimensional method was adopted, because the structure of this type cannot be modeled accurately by a two-dimensional method. Temperature analysis was performed by taking into consideration of the cement type and content, boundary and environment conditions including the variations of atmospheric temperature and wind velocity. The results of this study may be useful for the temperature control to restrain thermal cracking and the construction management to design the resonable curing method of mass concrete structure.

Application of nanotechnology can be used to tailor made cementitious composites owing to small dimension and physical behaviour of resulting hydration products. Because of high aspect ratio and extremely high strength, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are perfect reinforcing materials. Hence, there is a great prospect to use CNTs in developing new generation cementitious materials. In the present paper, a parametric study has been conducted on cementitious composites reinforced by two types of multi walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) designated as Type I CNT (10-20 nm outer dia.) and Type II CNT (30-50 nm outer dia.) with various concentrations ranging from 0.1% to 0.5% by weight of cement. To evaluate important properties such as flexural strength, strain to failure, elastic modulus and modulus of toughness of the CNT admixed specimens at different curing periods, flexural bending tests were performed. Results show that composites with Type II CNTs gave more strength as compared to Type I CNTs. The highest increase in strength (flexural and compressive) is of the order of 22% and 33%, respectively, compared to control samples. Modulus of toughness at 28 days showed highest improvement of 265% for Type II 0.3% CNT composites. It is obvious that an optimum percentage of CNT could exists for composites to achieve suitable reinforcement behaviour and desired strength properties. Based on the parametric study, a tentative optimum CNT concentration (0.3% by weight of cement) has been proposed. Scanning electron microscope image shows perfect crack bridging mechanism; several of the CNTs were shown to act as crack arrestors across fine cracks along with some CNTs breakage.

Expansive soil is the most predominant geologic hazard which shows a large amount of shrinkage and swelling with changes in their moisture content. This study investigates the macro-mechanical and micro-structural behaviours of dredged natural expansive clay from coal mining treated with ordinary Portland cement or hydrated lime addition. The stabilised expansive soil aims for possible reuse as pavement materials. Mechanical testing determined geotechnical engineering properties, including free swelling potential, California bearing ratio, unconfined compressive strength, resilient modulus, and shear wave velocity. The microstructures of treated soils are observed by scanning electron microscopy, x-ray diffraction, and energy dispersive spectroscopy to understand the behaviour of the expansive clay blended with cement and lime. Test results confirmed that cement and lime are effective agents for improving the swelling behaviour and other engineering properties of natural expansive clay. In general, chemical treatments reduce the swelling and increase the strength and modulus of expansive clay, subjected to chemical content and curing time. Scanning electron microscopy analysis can observe the increase in formation of particle clusters with curing period, and x-ray diffraction patterns display hydration and pozzolanic products from chemical particles. The correlations of mechanical properties and microstructures for chemical stabilised expansive clay are recommended.
