Waste materials are being produced in huge quantities globally, and the usual practice is to dump them into legal or illegal landfills. Recycled tiles (RT) are being used in soil stabilisation which is considered as sustainable solution to reduce the amount of waste and solve the geotechnical problems. Although the stabilisation of soil using RT improved the soil properties, it could not achieve the standard values required for construction. Thus, this study uses 20% RT together with low cement content (2%) to stabilise soft soil. Series of consolidated undrained triaxial compression tests were conducted on untreated and RT-cement treated samples. Each test was performed at 7, 14, and 28 days curing period and 50, 100, and 200 kPa confining pressures. The results revealed an improvement in the undrained shear strength parameters (cohesion and internal frication angle) of treated specimens compared to the untreated ones. The cohesion and friction angle of the treated samples were increased with the increase in curing time and confining pressure. The peak deviator stress of treated samples increases with the increment of either the effective confining pressures or the curing period. Microstructural and chemical tests were performed on both untreated and RT-cement treated samples, which included field emission scanning electron microscopic (FESEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer (EDX). The results indicated the formation of cementation compounds such as calcium aluminium hydrate (C-A-H) within the treated samples. Consequently, the newly formed compounds were responsible for the improvement observed in the results of the triaxial tests. This research promotes the utilisation of RT to reduce the amount of cement used in soil stabilisation for cleaner planet and sustainable environment.

The rheology properties of cement paste with variation of quantity and type of mineral admixture were investigated. The rheology of the paste was assessed by using a HAAKE Rotovisco(RT 20) rheometer having cylindrical serrate spindle. The results were as follows: The viscosity and the yield stress of cement paste were decreased by the only replacement of 10% BFS(blast furnace slag) or the only replacement of 30% FA(fly ash), whereas SF(silica fume) increased them as the replacement quantity was increased. Increasing the dosage of HRWR(high-range water reducer), the rheology properties were improved significantly in cement paste with the replacement of SF. In addition, rheology properties of two ingredient blended pastes, such as BFS(20%)-SF(5%), FA(20%)-SF(5%), were improved more than those of three ingredient blended paste, BFS(20%)-FA(20%)-SF(5%).

동절기에 콘크리트를 시공할 경우 초기동해와 강도발현이 지연되는 문제가 있으며, 이를 방지하기 위해서는 콘크리트가 동결하기 이전에 시멘트의 수화반응이 일정수준 이하 진행되는 것이 중요하다. 이에 본 연구는 조강형시멘트를 대상으로 내한성 혼화제를 사용한 저온환경하 콘크리트의 실무활용 가능성을 검토할 목적으로 보온 및 가열양생 없이 저온환경하 모르타르 조건에서 방동제, 감수제 및 내한촉진제의 종류별 사용에 따른 작업성 및 유지성능, 동결온도, 압축강도를 평가하였다. 실험결과 조강형시멘트와 방동제를 사용할 경우 CN 방동제 대비 SN 방동제가 초기 압축강도발현이 증진되었다. 또한, 0분 플로우가 증가하고 20분 플로우가 감소하였는데, FR, RT 감수제를 사용하여 플로우 지속성능이 다소 개선됨을 확인하였다. CF, LS 내한촉진제는 감수제의 종류와 상관없이 전반적으로 강도발현이 증진되었으나, SC 내한촉진제는 RT 감수제에서 강도발현이 미비한 것으로 나타났다.

기존 고유동 콘크리트는 소요의 유동성과 작업성 확보를 위해 대부분 단위시멘트량이 높은 고강도 콘크리트 영역으로써, 현재 사용되고 있는 대부분의 콘크리트 구조물이 보통강도(18~35MPa) 수준임을 감안한다면 현실적인 사용범위확대 및 실용성에 한계가 있었다. 고유동 콘크리트의 사용범위를 확대하기 위해 보통강도 수준에서도 유동성과 점성을 발휘할 수 있고 일반건축물뿐만 아니라 특수건축물에서도 사용가능하며, 타설시간과 인건비를 대폭 감축할 수 있는 보통강도 고유동 콘크리트의 개발이 필요한 실정이다. 보통강도 고유동 콘크리트의 개발은 유동성 및 점성을 발휘하여 자기 충전성을 확보함으로써 다짐작업 최소화에 따른 인건비 감축, 공사비 절감, 공기 단축 등의 시공효율성 뿐만 아니라 공사품질을 향상시킬 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 출발원료(WR, HB, RT)의 조합별로 PCE를 제조하고 링플로콘과 회전형 점도계를 사용하여 시멘트 페이스트의 레올로지 특성을 분석하였다. 실험결과 WR 80%, HB 6.5% RT 13.5%를 조합한 PCE를 적용할 경우, 결합재량이 낮은 보통강도 고유동 콘크리트에서 소성점도를 확보하면서 항복응력은 최소화시킬 수 있으며 동시에 높은 분산효과로 인한 고유동성의 확보가능성을 확인할 수 있었다.

In this paper, functionality of soft computing algorithms such as Group method of data handling (GMDH), Random forest (RF), Random tree (RT), Linear regression (LR), M5P, and artificial neural network (ANN) have been looked out to predict the compressive strength of concrete mixed with marble powder. Assessment of result suggests that, the overall performance of ANN based model gives preferable results over the different applied algorithms for the estimate of compressive strength of concrete. The results of coefficient of correlation were maximum in ANN model (0.9139) accompanied through RT with coefficient of correlation (CC) value 0.8241 and minimum root mean square error (RMSE) value of ANN (4.5611) followed by RT with RMSE (5.4246). Similarly, other evaluating parameters like, Willmott's index and Nash-sutcliffe coefficient value of ANN was 0.9458 and 0.7502 followed by RT model (0.8763 and 0.6628). The end result showed that, for both subsets i.e., training and testing subset, ANN has the potential to estimate the compressive strength of concrete. Also, the results of sensitivity suggest that the water-cement ratio has a massive impact in estimating the compressive strength of concrete with marble powder with ANN based model in evaluation with the different parameters for this data set.

Purpose: Calcium phosphate cement (CPC) is one of many useful materials for restoring tooth defects, periodontium and maxillofacial area. Chitosan is a biodegradable material that has been shown to promote the growth and differentiation of osteoblasts in culture. This study examined the interaction between odontoblasts and bio-calcium phosphate cement reinforced with chitosan. Materials and Methods: $5{\times}10^3$ odontoblastic cells were seeded into each well. Various concentrations of bio-calcium phosphate cement reinforced with chitosan (10, 20, 50, 100, 200, 500 ${\mu}g$/ml, 1, 2, 4 mg/ml) were diluted and added to the wells. The well was incubated for 24 h, 48 h and 72 h. After incubation, the number of cells was assessed to determine the cell viability. A cytokinesis-block micronucleus assay and chromosomal aberration test were carried out to estimate the extent of chromosomal abnormalities. Microscopic photographs and RT-PCR were performed to examine the adhesion potential of bio-calcium phosphate cement reinforced with chitosan. Results: Bio-CPC-reinforced chitosan did not show significant cytotoxicity. The number of damaged chromosomes in the cells treated with Bio-CPC-reinforced chitosan was similar to that in the control cells. There was no significant increase in the number of chromosomal aberrations in the Bio-CPC reinforced chitosan exposed cells. Microscopic photographs and RT-PCR confirmed the adhesive potential of bio-CPC reinforced chitosan to odontoblasts. Conclusion: Bio-CPC-reinforced chitosan did not affect the odontoblastic cell viability, and had no significant cytotoxic effect. Bio-CPC-reinforced chitosan showed adhesive potential to odontoblasts. These results are expected form the basis of future studies on the effectiveness of dental restorative materials in Bio-CPC reinforced with chitosan.

Objectives: Endodontically treated teeth with insufficient tooth structure are often restored with esthetic restorations. This study evaluated the cytotoxicity and biological effects of yttria partially stabilized zirconia (Y-TZP) blocks in combination with several dental cements. Materials and Methods: Pairs of zirconia cylinders with medium alone or cemented with three types of dental cement including RelyX U200 (3M ESPE), FujiCEM 2 (GC), and Panavia F 2.0 (Kuraray) were incubated in medium for 14 days. The cytotoxicity of each supernatant was determined using 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazole- 2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assays on L929 fibroblasts and MC3T3-E1 osteoblasts. The levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6) mRNA were evaluated by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), and IL-6 protein was evaluated by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA). The data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA and Tukey post-hoc tests. A p < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: The MTT assays showed that MC3T3-E1 osteoblasts were more susceptible to dental cements than L929 fibroblasts. The resin based dental cements increased IL-6 expression in L929 cells, but reduced IL-6 expression in MC3T3-E1 cells. Conclusions: Zirconia alone or blocks cemented with dental cement showed acceptable biocompatibilities. The results showed resin-modified glass-ionomer based cement less produced inflammatory cytokines than other self-adhesive resin-based cements. Furthermore, osteoblasts were more susceptible than fibroblasts to the biological effects of dental cement.

본 연구는 국내에서 생산되는 석회석미분말을 콘크리트의 혼화재료로서 사용하기 위한 기초연구로의 일환으로 석회석미분말의 첨가방법, 첨가율 및 물-분체비 등이 강도발현 및 황산염 침해에 대한 저항성에 미치는 영향을 검토하였다. 그 결과, 석회석미분말을 시멘트에 대해 치환하여 사용하는 경우, 치환율이 증가할수록 강도는 저하되나, 단위시멘트량에 의해 강도가 거의 결정된다. 이런 석회석미분말의 시멘트 치환인 경우는 콘크리트의 수화열이 저감되어 매스 콘크리트에 유효하게 이용 가능할 것으로 판단된다. 그리고 석회석미분말을 잔골재에 대해 치환하여 사용하는 경우, 치환율이 증가할수록 강도와 황산염 침투에 대한 저항성이 증가하며, 이와 같은 석회석미분말을 사용하는 방법은 고강도콘크리트 및 황산염 침투에 대한 저항성이 우수한 콘크리트를 제조하는 데 유효하게 이용 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

Purpose: If the tooth structure is damaged, then it is impossible to regenerate the tooth. The materials used to restore the tooth structure are not related to the composition of the tooth. The materials used to restore the structure can't replace the natural tooth because they just fill the defective structure. Calcium phosphate cement remineralizes the dentin and almost replaces the natural tooth, but there are some disadvantages. We conducted basic tests with Biomimetic CPC (Bio-CPC) to make sure of the possibility of the biomaterial to remineralize the defective tooth structure. Methods: In this study, the bioactivity and biocompatibility of Bio-CPC were evaluated for its potential value as the bio-material for regeneration of damaged tooth structure by conducting a cell toxicity assay (WST-1 assay), a cytokinesis-block micronucleus assay, a chromosomal aberration test, total RNA extraction and RT-PCR on MDPC-23 mouse odontoblast-like cells. Results: The in vitro cytotoxicity test showed that the Bio-CPC was fairly cytocompatible for the MDPC-23 mouse odontoblast-like cells. Conclusion: Bio-CPC has a possibility to be a new biomaterial and further study of Bio-CPC is needed.
