The effects of different lightweight functional fillers on the properties of cement-based composites are investigated in this study. The fillers include fly ash cenospheres (FACs) and glass micro-spheres (GMS15 and GMS38) in various proportions. The developed composites were tested for compressive, flexural and tensile strengths at 10 and 28-day ages. The results indicated that both FACs and GMS38 are excellent candidates for producing strong lightweight composites. However, incorporation of GMS15 resulted in much lower specific strength values (only up to $13.64kPa/kg\;m^3$) due to its thinner shell thickness and lower isostatic crushing strength value (2.07 MPa). Microstructural analyses further revealed that GMS38 and GMS15 were better suited for thermal insulating applications. However, higher weight fraction of the fillers in composites leads to increased porosity which might be detrimental to their strength development.

Chloride diffusivity of concrete is a crucial material parameter for service life determination and durability designing of marine concrete. Many research works on this issue have been conducted, varying from empirical solutions obtained experimentally to image analysis, based on multi-scale modeling. One of the simple approaches is to express the chloride diffusivity of concrete by a multi-factor function, however, the influences of various factors on the chloride diffusivity are ambiguous. Furthermore, the majority of these research works have not dealt with the carbonation process of concrete, although this process affects the chloride diffusivity of concrete significantly. The purpose of this study is to establish a simple approach to calculate the chloride diffusivity of (non)carbonated concrete. The chloride diffusivity of concrete should be defined, based on engineering and scientific knowledge of cement and concrete materials. In this paper, a lot of parameters affecting the chloride diffusivity, such as the diffusivity in pore solution, tortuosity, micro-structural properties of hardened cement paste, volumetric portion of aggregate, are taken into consideration in the calculation of the chloride diffusivity of noncarbonated concrete. For carbonated concrete, reduced porosity due to carbonation is calculated and used for calculating the chloride diffusivity. The results are compared with experimental data and previous research works.

In this study, the tensile properties of mono and hybrid fiber reinforced cement-based composite according to fiber blending ratio under the high strain rate was evaluated. Experimental results, the HSF1.5PVA0.5 shown the highest tensile strength because the PVA fiber suppressed the micro cracks in the matrix around the hooked steel fiber and improved the pull-out resistance of hooked steel fiber. Thus, DIF of strain capacity and fracture toughness of HSF1.5PVA were greatly improved. Also, the fracture toughness was greatly improved because the tensile stress was slowly decreased after the peak stress by improvement of the pull-out resistance of hooked steel fiber at strain rate 101/s.

터널의 차수그라우팅 효과를 확인하기 위하여 영천댐 도수터널 건설공사 중에 현장 그라우팅 시험을 수행하였다. 시험은 그라우팅 시기에 따라 굴착전, 굴착후 및 콘크리트 라이닝일 설치된 이후의 압밀 그라우팅 등으로 구분하였고, 주입재료, 암종 및 지질인자, 그라우팅공의 천공방향 및 주입단계에 따른 효과를 비교하도록 계획하였다. 재료의 특성에 따른 차수효과는 포틀랜드시멘트, 마이크로시멘트, 마이크로시멘트 마이크로시멘트+규산에 비해 우레탄이 가장 뛰어났으며, 시공시기에 따라서는 라이닝후 및 굴착후에 비해 굴착전 그라우팅시 차수효과가 뛰어났다. 암종에 따라서는 화산암 및 화강암지반에 비해 퇴적암지반에서 차수효과가 낮게 나타났는데 이는 퇴적암에 발달하는 절리틈새가 적고 절리 충전물이 많아서 주입재의 침투성 저조에 기인한 것으로 사료된다. RMR값과는 직접적인 상관성이 없으나 RMR 요소 중 절리틈의 간극이 클수록 차수효과가 높게 나타났다. 천공방향은 차수효과에 영향을 미치지 않았으나 주입방법은 천공 및 주입의 단계를 세분할 수록 높은 차수 효과를 기대할 수 있다.

본 연구에서는 BS다량 치환 콘크리트의 알칼리자극제로서 순환골재 및 고분말도의 FC를 복합 사용한 콘크리트의 제반 공학적 특성 및 미시적 분석을 실시하였다. FC 치환에 따른 슬럼프 및 공기량은 큰 차이가 없었으며, 응결시간은 FC 치환에 따라 비례적으로 단축되는 것으로 나타났다. FC 치환에 따른 압축강도는 고분말도의 FC가 치환됨에 따라 촉진된 수화반응 및 순환골재의 미수화 시멘트의 알칼리 용출로 인해 BS의 잠재수경성 반응을 촉진시켜 초기 및 28일 재령에서의 Plain 대비 강도저하를 상당부분 회복할 수 있었으며, 특히 향후 재령이 경과함에 따라 포졸란 반응의 활성화로 추가적인 강도향상이 기대된다. 탄산화 저항성의 경우 큰 차이가 없으며, 세공분포의 경우 FC 치환률이 증가함에 따라 $0.1{\mu}m$이하의 미세 공극분포가 급격히 증가하는 경향을 보였고, SEM 측정결과 FC 치환에 따른 7일 및 28일에서의 C-S-H 및 $Ca(OH)_2$의 생성을 확인하여 FC가 BS 다량치환 순환골재 콘크리트의 알칼리 자극에 기여함을 확인 할 수 있었다.

다양한 유해성 화학물질들이 콘크리트의 설치환경에 따라 외부로부터 유입될 수 있다. 해수에 의한 콘크리트의 성능저하 현상은 해수의 다양한 화학성분에 의한 복잡한 작용이 연관되어 있다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 주요 해수 성분의 영향으로 인한 콘크리트 성능저하에 관련된 이차광물의 형성에 따른 광물학적, 미세 구조적 변화 특성에 대하여 연구하였다. 부산경남의 해안지역의 기존 콘크리트 구조물들에서 성능저하특징을 관찰하고 콘크리트 시료를 채취하였다. 채취된 시료에 대한 암석학적분석과 XRD 및 SEM/EDAX 분석을 실시하여 골재와 시멘트페이스트의 화학적, 광물학적, 미세구조적 변화를 해석하였다. NaCl, CaCl, $MgCl_2$ 및 $Na_2SO_4$용액을 사용한 실내 콘크리트 변질 실험을 실시하였다. 변질실험 결과를 기존 콘크리트 시료에 대한 분석 결과를 비교함으로서 해수의 주성분들이 콘크리트의 성능저하에의 영향과 메커니즘을 분석하였다. 해수의 알칼리성분들은 알칼리-골재 반응을 가속화하며, 콘크리트의 심한 팽창과 균열을 발생하는 알칼리-칼슘-실리카겔을 형성하는 것으로 나타났다. 탄산화작용은 다량의 비교결성의 방해석을 형성하여 시멘트페이스트를 약화시키고 있다. 또한, 탄산화작용은 그 진행 정도에 따라 일부 이차광물들의 성분과 안정도에 현저한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 탄산화가 현저히 진행된 콘크리트에는 다량의 석고가 형성되었으나, 탄산화가 약하게 진행된 것에는 사우마사이트가 에트린자이트와 고용체를 형성하여 미세 균열을 발생하고 있다. 실험적으로, 에트린자이트는 염소의 유입으로 인하여 trichloroaluminate로 전이되거나 분해되는 것으로 나타났다. 해수의 Mg 이온은 비교결성의 브루사이트와 MSH (magnesium silicate hydrate)를 형성하여 시멘트 페이스트의 성능저하의 원인이 되는 것으로 나타났다.

This paper reports an experimental study into the rheological behaviour of self consolidating concrete (SCC). The investigation aimed at quantifying the impact of the varying amounts of mineral admixtures on the rheology of SCC containing natural sand. Apart from the ordinary Portland cement (OPC), the cementitious materials such as fly ash (FA), ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS) and micro-silica (MS) in conjunction with the mineral admixtures were used in different percentages keeping the mix paste volume and flow of concrete constant at higher atmospheric tempterature ($30^{\circ}$ to $40^{\circ}C$). The rheological properties of SCC were investigated using an ICAR rheometer with a four-blade vane. The rheological properties of self-consolidating concrete (SCC) containing different mineral admixtures (MA) were investigated using an ICAR rheometer. The mineral admixtures were fly ash (FA), ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS), and micro silica (MS). The results obtained using traditional workability results are compared with those obtained using ICAR rheometer. The instrument ICAR (International Center for Aggregate Research) rheometer employed in the present study for evaluating the rhelogical behaviour of the SCC is found to detect systematic changes in workability, cementitious materials, successfully. It can be concluded that the rheology and the slump flow tests can be concurrently used for predicting the flow behaviours of SCC made with different cementitious materials.

Multi-level (macro-level, meso-level, and micro-level) mechanism of prefinitely strained concrete materials os studied The multi-level analysis explains the additional quasibrittle concrete material ductility that comes from lateral confinement and their multi-level interaction mechanisms. The so-called "upgraded tube-squash test" is used to achieve 50% axial strain and over 70 degree of deviatoric strain of quasibrittle concrete materials under extremely high pressure without producing visible cracks. In the micro-level analysis, the variations of hydration rte, micropores, and hydrate phased are analyzed. In the meso-level analysis, mesocracks (the initial invisible cracks) at the interfaces between aggregates and cement paste matrices are studied. The high confining effect in the specimen on the meso-level cracks is also studied. In the macro-level analysis, the physical behavior of prefinitely strained concrete materials is studied. The co-relationships of the results from the three distinct levels of analyses based in various prestraining (0%, 15%, 35%, and 50%) are studied. For the extremely deformed or strained concrete problems, multi-level analysis will be used to explain the unclear and unstudied mechanism of concrete materials, The multi-level analysis can provide us with valuable insights that can explain the additional ductility and confining effect in concrete. concrete.

This study investigates the properties of light weight foamed concrete designed with various incorporating ratios of CKD and adding ratios of PS. Test showed that increase of CKD and PS decreased fluidity of fresh concrete, which need more addition of superplasticizer to secure proper fluidity. As for the sinking depth of specimens, using more CKD or PS decreased the value, due to the improvement of viscosity by micro particles of CKD and reduction of air loss by PS. Those methods are very effective to solve the sinking problem of light weight foamed concrete, which has been highly concerned. For the hardened concrete, compressive strength of specimens exhibited that using around 10% of CKD or 0.02% of PS increased the strength value, but decreased when incorporated or added more amounts of that, due to reduction of the sinking depth, caused by filling effect of the micro particle and improvement of the viscosity.

The rheological behaviour of high strength self compacting concrete (HS-SCC) studied through an experimental investigation is presented in this paper. The effect of variation in supplementary cementitious materials (SCM) $vis-{\grave{a}}-vis$ four different types of processed crushed sand as fine aggregates is studied. Apart from the ordinary Portland cement (OPC), the SCMs such as fly ash (FA), ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS) ultrafine slag (UFS) and micro-silica (MS) are used in different percentages keeping the mix -paste volume and flow of concrete, constant. The combinations of rheology, strength and durability are equally important for selection of mixes in respect of high-rise building constructions. These combinations are referred to as the rheo-strength and rheo-durability which is scientifically linked to performance based rating. The findings show that the fineness of the sands and types of SCM affects the rheo-strength and rheo-durability performance of HS-SCC. The high amount of fines often seen in fine aggregates contributes to the higher yield stress. Further, the mixes with processed sand is found to offer better rheology as compared to that of mixes made using unwashed crushed sand, washed plaster sand, washed fine natural sand. The micro silica and ultra-fine slag conjunction with washed crushed sand can be a good solution for high rise construction in terms of rheo-strength and rheo-durability performance.
