The purpose of this study is to use paper sludge ash as a material in manufacturing high strength admixture. The reactivity of paper sludge ash as iteself is low for the crystallized non-reactive $SiO_2$, but when the $SiO_2$ was removed, the phase component is mainly composed of glass phase which could react with cement hydrates. In this study, we manufactured high strength admixture using separated paper sludge ash, and examined the strength of mortar, spun concrete with and without this high strength admixture in steam curing. The strength of spun concrete with high strength admixture including paper sludge ash was more higher than that of spun concrete without admixture. As a result, it was found that paper sludge ash could be used to a pozzolanic material in manufacturing high strength admixture.

This study aimed to develop non-sintered cement that could replace portland cement which emits large amount of carbon dioxide during firing process. For this purpose, ground granulated blast furnace slag, type c fly ash and slaked lime were used. In addition, through the experimental results, the characteristics of the non-sintered cement binders according to the mixing ratios will be identified, and the utilization plans for the precast concrete products will be presented. In this experiment, non-sintered cement binders using industrial by-products were prepared to compare the flexural strength and compressive strength of each of the 3, 7 and 28 days. As a result, the results satisfy the KS of the target product proposed in this study. Therefore, this study presents the possibility of using precast concrete products by developing non-sintered cement binders using industrial by-products.

In this study, initial crack index was evaluated by FEM analysis to find the crack propagation from hydration heat in precast concrete. As results, as the usage of hardening accelerator increased, initial compressive strength increased and setting time was shortened. Additionally, as amounts of hardening accelerators increased, the central temperature of concrete increased and the time to reach the highest temperature was shortened. It was demonstrated that the hardening accelerators accelerated the hydration reaction of cement, and caused the increase of hydration heat within the short period of time. Furthermore, the crack index for evaluating the heat level was performed by FEM. As results, there was no problem about the cracks, despite of the growth of initial high hydration heat. This is because of the increased tensile strength that is large enough to sustain the thermally induced-stress.
