The production of geopolymer is considered as a cleaner process due to much lower CO₂ emission than that from the production of Portland cement. This paper presents a study of the potential use of recycled steel fibre (RSF) coming from the recycling process of the old tires in geopolymer mortars. Ground expanded perlite (EP) is used as a source of alumino-silicate and sodium hydroxide (NaOH=5, 10, 15, and 20M) is used as alkaline medium for geopolymer synthesis. RSFs were added to the mortar mixtures in four different volume fractions (0, 0.5, 1.0, and 1.5% of the total volume of mortar). The unit weight, ultrasound pulse velocity, flexural and compressive strength of expanded perlite based geopolymer mortar (EPGM) mixtures were determined. The microstructures of selected EPGMs were examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) analyses. The optimum molarity of sodium hydroxide solution was found to be 15M for geopolymer synthesis by EP. The test results revealed that RSFs can be successfully used for fibre-reinforced geopolymer production.

The spectral analysis of surface waves (SASW) method, which is an in-situ seismic technique, has mainly been developed and used for many years to determine the stiffness profile of layered media (such as asphalt concrete and layered soils) in an infinite half-space. This paper presents a modified experimental technique for nondestructive evaluation of in-place cement mortar compressive strength in single-layer concrete slabs of rather a finite thickness through a correlation to surface wave velocity. This correlation can be used in the quality control of early age cement mortar structures and in evaluating the integrity of structural members where the infinite half space condition is not met. In the proposed SASW field test, the surface of the structural members is subjected to an impact, using a 12 mm steel ball, to generate surface wave energy at various frequencies. Two accelerometer receivers detect the energy transmitted through the medium. By digitizing the analog receiver outputs, and recording the signals for spectral analysis, surface wave velocities can be identified. Modifications to the SASW method includes the reduction of boundary reflections as adopted on the surface waves before the point where the reflected compression waves reach the receivers. In this study, the correlation between the surface wave velocity and the compressive strength of cement mortar is developed using one 36"x36"x4"(91.44$\times$91.44$\times$91.44 cm) cement mortar slab of 2,000 psi (140 kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$) and two 36"x36"x4"(91.44$\times$91.44$\times$91.44 cm) cement mortar slabs of 3,000 psi (210 kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$).

고대 대가야시대(6세기) 고분벽화에 사용된 제작기술을 연구하기 위해 벽화 구조와 재질에 대한 정밀분석을 실시하였다. 벽화는 석실을 축조 후 벽면과 천정에 모르타르를 바르고 그 위에 바탕칠층을 조성하여 채색하였다. 천장을 제외한 사면의 벽면에는 모르타르 위로 대부분 진흙이 덧발려져 있다. 모르타르는 모래는 사용되지 않았고, 순수한 칼슘성분의 물질들로 이루어져 있다. 또한 소성(燒成)이 완전히 진행되지 않은 불규칙한 크기의 패각들이 혼합되어 있으며, 모르타르의 석회질은 굴 껍질을 소성하여 얻어진 것으로 추정되었다. 바탕칠층은 백토(kaolinite($Al_2Si_2O_5(OH)_4$) 또는 halloysite($Al_2Si_2O_5(OH)_4{\cdot}2H2_O$))를 사용하였으며, 채색에 사용된 적색안료는 진사(cinnabar(HgS) 또는 vermilion), 녹색은 공작석(malachite($Cu_2CO_3(OH)_2$)) 그리고 백색은 연백(lead white($PbCO_3{\cdot}Pb(OH)_2$))이 쓰인 것으로 나타났다. 모르타르 위로 조성된 토양층은 주로 중립사 이하 크기의 입도가 낮은 점토질을 사용하여 얇고 치밀하게 조성하였으며, 모르타르층이 박락되고 상당기간이 경과 된 후 보수목적으로 마감한 것으로 추정된다. 굴 껍질을 소성하여 많든 석회를 모르타르로 사용한 것은 한국 고대 고분벽화 제작에 있어 유래 없는 사례이며, 내구성이 매우 떨어지는 특성을 지니고 있어 가야인들의 모르타르 제작기술이 동일시기의 고구려인들에 비해 상대적으로 떨어졌던 것으로 추측된다.

본 연구의 목적은, X선조영촬영을 이용한 콘크리트강도의 평가 및 콘크리트열화의 수치화를 수행하는 것이다. 콘크리트강도를 추정하기 위하여, 물-시멘트비가 서로 다른 콘크리트를 제작하여, X선투과선량과 콘크리트강도의 관계를 구하였다. 이 실험에는 콘크리트 외에 몰탈, Non-AE 콘크리트를 이용한 실험도 수행하였다. 또한, 동결융해작용을 가해 상대동탄성계수를 변화시킨 공시체에 대하여, 열화의 수치화를 수행하였다. 실험의 결과, X선조영촬영법을 사용하면, 투과선변화량이 구해지므로, 콘크리트강도의 추정과 열화의 수치화가 가능하다는 것을 알았다.

In this study, we conducted a comparative analysis of the effects of resuscitation after the re-application of mortar with much FA replacement on the degree of resuscitation. Results When NaOH was applied to the top of the mortar where 90% of FA was replaced, and maintained for 24 hours, the degree of resuscitation at $40^{\circ}C$ was completely improved. However, when medium curing was carried out, it showed a higher degree of compression than water or lapping curing at 10 MPa in 28 days. The degree of resuscitation on the 28th day was revived from around 10% of the normal level to about 20~30%, and it was analyzed that it was difficult to achieve the OPC reduction by any method.

Corrosion of steel reinforcement is the most important mode of concrete structures damages. It strongly depends on the composition and physicochemical properties of the cementitious medium. The use of waste materials as lightweight aggregates in concrete is environmentally recommended in polluted environments such as marine and/or industrial atmospheres in order to reduce its porosity and ensure the requested protection of reinforcing steel. The present study investigated the effect of waste cork addition on corrosion resistance of steel rebar in mortar specimen prepared in the laboratory. The main objective of this study was to improve the corrosion resistance of reinforcing steel. Another objective of this study was to valorize this ecological product and preserve the environment. Results obtained from various electrochemical tests indicated that the presence of a fine cork powder substantially improved the corrosion resistance of steel in the mortar contaminated by chloride ions. This improvement was reflected by a notable decrease in corrosion current density and a shift of corrosion potential of the steel towards more noble values. Moreover, the presence of a fine cork powder in the mortar had no adverse effect on its mechanical properties.

In this study, the feasibility of introducing calcite-forming bacteria into concrete pavements to improve their mechanical performance was investigated. Lysinibacillus sphaericus WJ-8, which was isolated in a previous study and is capable of exhibiting high urease activity and calcite production, was used. When analyzed via scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction, WJ-8 showed a significant amount of calcite precipitation. The compressive strength of cement mortar mixed with WJ-8 cells and nutrient medium (urea with calcium lactate) increased by 10% compared with that of the controls. Energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy analyses confirmed that the increase in strength was due to the calcite formed by the WJ-8 cells.

In this study, a numerical study was carried out to simulate the expansion of ground borehole by pulse discharge technology using finite element analysis. Considering the mortar in the borehole as an acoustic medium and the surrounding soil as an elasto-plastic material, the strong shock wave developed by the pulse discharge was modeled using the underwater explosion model. The ground expansion was simulated based on a coupled acoustic-structural analysis with varying properties of mortar and soil, and the behavior between acoustic-structural interface.

본 연구에서는 광촉매를 혼입한 모르타르의 방오성능을 평가하기 위해 메틸렌 블루를 이용한 실험 연구를 수행하였다. 실험 시편은 시멘트 중량대비 2.5%, 5.0%, 7.5% 및 10.0%의 광촉매를 혼입하여 모르타르 시편을 제작하였고, 시편 표면에 스크래치 형태로 조도를 설정하였다. 표면 조도는 3가지로 조도가 없는 경우, 조도가 작은 경우(중간 조도), 조도가 큰 경우(거친 조도)로 설정하였다. 모르타르 시편 제작 후 24시간 동안 자외선램프 조사와 12시간 동안 메틸렌 블루 컨디셔닝 용액에 침지 하는 전처리 과정을 진행하였다. 실험챔버에 전처리가 완료된 모르타르 시편을 배치 후 48시간 동안 자외선램프를 조사하였고 시간에 따라 메틸렌 블루 수용액의 색 변화를 분광측색계를 이용하여 측정하였다. 광촉매의 혼입량이 증가할수록 메틸렌 블루 색 변화는 증가하는 경향을 나타내며 이는 방오성능이 증가하는 것을 의미한다. 반면에 표면조도가 증가할수록 메틸렌 블루 용액의 색 변화는 뚜렷한 경향은 나타내지 않으며 표면의 광촉매 분포가 일정하지 않기 때문이다.
