In this study, we examined the relationship among the rheological properties, workability, and extrudability in the construction of concrete structures using additive manufacturing. We altered the component materials (binder type, water-binder (W/B) ratio, sand ratio) to assess their effect on the rheological properties experimentally. The results indicated that the W/B and sand ratios had the largest effect on the rheological properties. In particular, when the sand ratio increased, it indicated that adjusting the sand ratio would facilitate control over the rheological properties. Additionally, we compared the rheological properties with the results of a traditional workability evaluation, namely the table flow test. This indicated the possibility of inferring the rheological properties by using traditional methods. Finally, we evaluated extrusion quantity according to table flow. The extrusion rate was 350 g/s for a flow of 210 mm and 170 g/s for a flow of 130 mm, indicating that extrusion rate increased as flow increased; however, we concluded that a flow standard of approximately 140-160 mm is suitable for controlling the actual extrusion quantity and rate.

The purpose of this study is to develop the high strength crushed sand concrete in conditions of water binder ratios of 25, 30, 35% and blast-furnace slag substitutions of 0, 15, 30, 45%. Additionally, in case of water binder ratio of 30%, the maximum size of coarse aggregate is two kinds of 13, 19 mm. The conclusions of this study are as follows ; 1. The compressive strength appeared lower in early age as compared with that of plain concrete according to increasing of the blast-furnace slag substitution. But, the compressive strength was respectively 5, 6, 10% larger than that of plain concrete in case of 25, 30, 35% water binder ratios, 28 days, 30% blast-furnace slag substitution and 19mm coarse aggregate. 2. According to increasing of the blast-furnace slag substitution, the modulus of elasticity and the tensile strength of concrete increased. 3. The length change by the shrinkage increased when the larger coarse aggregate was used, and decreased according to higher blast-furnace slag substitution.

본 연구에서는 3D 프린팅 공법 적용을 위한 콘크리트 기초 레올로지 분석을 목적으로 실험을 수행하였다. 콘크리트 구성성분 중 유동특성에 큰 영향을 미치는 인자(W/B, binder Type, replacement ratio, super plasticizer dosage)의 변화에 의한 레올로지 특성(rheological properties)을 실험적으로 분석하였다. 실험은 페이스트와 모르타르 크게 두 가지 인자로 구분하여 수행하였다. 페이스트 실험에서는 W/B, binder type, replacement ratio, super plasticizer dosage를 주요 변수로 설정하여 레올로지를 분석했다. 모르타르 실험에서는 W/B와 sand ratio에 따른 레올로지 특성을 분석했다. 결과적으로 W/B가 증가될수록 viscosity가 감소하였으며, FA를 치환할 FA 비율이 증가됨과 함께 viscosity가 증가하였다. 유동성 증가를 위해서는 SF를 5%만 치환해도 shear stress를 감소시키며 viscosity는 약 83%까지 감소되었다. 모르타르 레올로지 평가를 통해 W/B 30~40% 구간에서 큰 폭의 변화가 일어나는 임계치 구간이 존재하는 것으로 분석됐다. 또한 동일 W/B 내에서는 sand 비가 50~60% 구간에서 shear stress가 두 배 이상 증가하는 임계 구간이 존재하는 것으로 분석됐다.

To investigate the properties of high flowing and high strength concrete with crushed sand and fly ash for CFT structure, many batches were performed by a trial-error method. In the experiment W/B was set up three levels as 0.25, 0.30 and 0.35. Also the variables of the experiment were a substitution ratio of fly ash, a blend ratio of crushed sand and the ages of specimens(3, 7, 28 days). The results of this study are summarized as the follows; 1) The effect a substitution ratio of fly ash on the compressive strength was not consistent with age. For twenty-eight day compressive strength, the best result was come out when cement was substituted by 10% of fly ash. 2) The decrease of the water binder ratio, the increase of compressive strength and elastic modulus. Also the relationship is very similar to the case of a normal concrete

The paper explores the potential of applicability of Genetic programming approach (GP), adopted in this investigation, to model the combined effects of five independent variables to predict the mini-slump, the plate cohesion meter, the induced bleeding test, the J-fiber penetration value, and the compressive strength at 7 and 28 days of self-compacting slurry infiltrated fiber concrete (SIFCON). The variables investigated were the proportions of limestone powder (LSP) and sand, the dosage rates of superplasticiser (SP) and viscosity modifying agent (VMA), and water-to-binder ratio (W/B). Twenty eight mixtures were made with 10-50% LSP as replacement of cement, 0.02-0.06% VMA by mass of cement, 0.6-1.2% SP and 50-150% sand (% mass of binder) and 0.42-0.48 W/B. The proposed genetic models of the self-compacting SIFCON offer useful modelling approach regarding the mix optimisation in predicting the fluidity, the cohesion, the bleeding, the penetration, and the compressive strength.

The importance of using materials cost effectively to enhance the strength and reduce the cost, and weight of earth fill materials in geotechnical engineering led researchers to seek for modifying the soil properties by adding proper additives. Lightweight fill materials made of soil, binder, water, and Expanded polystyrene (EPS) beads are increasingly being used in geotechnical practices. This paper primarily investigates the behavior of sandy soil, modified by EPS particles. Besides, the mechanical properties of blending sand, EPS and the binder material such as fly ash and cement were examined in different mixing ratios using a number of various laboratory studies including the Modified Standard Proctor (MSP) test, the Unconfined Compressive Strength (UCS) test, the California Bearing Ratio (CBR) test and the Direct Shear test (DST). According to the results, an increase of 0.1% of EPS results in a reduction of the density of the mixture for 10%, as well as making the mixture more ductile rather than brittle. Moreover, the compressive strength, CBR value and shear strength parameters of the mixture decreases by an increase of the EPS beads, a trend on the contrary to the increase of cement and fly ash content.

카제인은 우유 속에 약 3% 함유되어 있으면서, 우유에 함유된 전체 단백질의 약 80%를 차지한다. 카제인에 수산화칼슘 및 수산화나트륨 수용액을 섞으면 고결력이 발생하며, 이러한 고결방식은 목재나 건조한 환경에 적용하는 것이 일반적이다. 본 연구에서는 지하수위가 존재하는 토사의 고결을 위해 물에 약한 카제인 고결제의 구성성분을 조절하거나 새로운 성분을 추가하여 내수성을 향상시키고자 하였다. 이를 위해 낙동강모래에 고결제로 가장 많이 사용되는 시멘트뿐 아니라 위스콘신대학에서 제시한 표준 카제인 고결제를 비롯한 다양한 카제인 고결모래 공시체를 제작하였다. 6 종류의 카제인 고결모래 중에서 표준 카제인 고결제에 수산화칼슘을 30% 증가시키고 수산화나트륨을 50% 감소시킨 것이 가장 우수한 강도와 내구성을 나타내었다. 이렇게 개선된 카제인 고결제를 1-4% 혼합하여 만든 공시체의 일축압축강도와 반복건습으로 인한 내구성지수를 시멘트 고결모래 공시체와 비교하였다. 그 결과, 카제인비 4%인 고결모래 공시체의 입축압축강도와 내구성지수는 6,253kPa 및 92%로 일축압축강도 1,500kPa 및 내구성지수 62%인 시멘트비 8%인 고결모래 공시체보다 우수한 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 카제인이 3% 이상 함유된 고결모래 공시체는 반복적인 건습 작용에도 80% 이상의 양호한 내구성을 유지하였다.

Recently, the construction industry has focused on eco-friendly materials instead of traditional materials due to their harmful effects on the environment. To this end, biopolymers are among proper choices to improve the geotechnical behavior of problematic soils. In the current study, serish biopolymer is introduced as a new binder for the purpose of sand improvement. Serish is a natural polysaccharide extracted from the roots of Eremurus plant, which mainly contains inulins. The effect of serish biopolymer on sand treatment has been investigated through performing unconfined compressive strength (UCS), California bearing ratio (CBR), as well as wind erosion tests. The results demonstrated that serish increased the compressive strength of dune sand in both terms of UCS and CBR. Also, wind erosion resistance of the sand was considerably improved as a result of treatment with serish biopolymer. A microstructural study was also conducted via SEM images; it can be seen that serish coated the sand particles and formed a strong network.
