The age of electric vehicle is coming. One of the most important problems to be solved for popularization of electric vehicle is fuel economy. To increase fuel economy of electric vehicles, it is necessary to improve the performance of the battery or the car body should be lighter than now. To solve the problem of the car body, change the car body's material to carbon fiber reinforced composites can be an excellent answer. However, the part made from carbon fiber reinforced composites is vulnerable to accidents due to their high brittleness. In this study, ductile silica fume was added into the carbon fiber composites to enhance toughness. To examine this, various amounts and sizes of silica fume were considered and the toughness enhancement was examined by performing tensile tests.

The overuse level of cement for civil industry has several undesirable social and ecological consequences. Substitution of cement with industrial wastes, called by-products, such as fly ash, ground granulated blast furnace slag, silica fume, metakaoline, rice husk ash, etc. as the mineral admixtures offers various advantages such as technical, economical and environmental which are very important in the era of sustainability in construction industry. The paper presents the experimental investigations for assessing the mechanical properties of the concrete made using the Pozzolanic waste materials (supplementary cementitious materials) such as fly ash and silica fume as the cement replacing materials. These materials were used in eight trial mixes with varying amount of ordinary Portland cement. These SCMs were kept in equal proportions in all the eight trial mixes. The chemical admixture (High Range Water Reducing Admixture) was also added to improve the workability of concrete. The compressive strengths for 7, 28, 40 and 90 days curing were evaluated whereas the flexural and tensile strengths corresponding to 7, 28 and 40 days curing were evaluated. The study corroborates that the Pozzolanic materials used in the present investigation as partial replacement for cement can render the sustainable concrete which can be used in the rigid pavement construction.

Discarded cigarette butts in the environment have caused significant pollution. Therefore, providing solutions to address these environmental issues is of great importance. Concrete is known as one of the most widely used materials around the world. Hence, this study investigates the feasibility of using cigarette butts to product concrete. For this purpose, cellulose acetate fibers obtained from cigarette butt filters were added to silica fume concrete in 10 different volume ratios. Then, the mechanical properties of the concrete samples, including compressive strength, Brazilian tensile strength, and flexural tensile strength, were examined. Based on the results, adding fibers to silica fume concrete improved the mechanical properties of the concrete. Among the 10 mixing designs, adding 0.2% by volume of fibers to silica fume concrete yielded the highest compressive and tensile strengths. In other words, adding 0.2% by volume of fibers resulted in a 16% and 34% increase in compressive strength and a 70% and 38% increase in Brazilian tensile strength at 7 and 28 days, respectively, compared to the state without cellulose acetate fibers. Additionally, the flexural tensile stress capacity increased by 56%. Furthermore, the vertical deformation tolerance in beam specimens increased by 287%, and the energy absorption capacity of the concrete beam also significantly increased. Consequently, along with the significant improvement in the mechanical properties of concrete, this study proposes a new and practicalstrategy to addressthe environmental issues caused by waste cigarette butts.

메타카올린은 고성능 콘크리트를 제조하기 위해 콘크리트에 혼합재로서 사용되는 결합재의 일종이다. 이 재료는 일반적으로 국내에서는 내화벽돌의 재료로 많이 사용되었으나, 현재는 이러한 고성능 콘크리트를 제조하기 위하여 필요한 실리카흄의 대용으로 사용되어지고 있다. 본 연구는 실리카흄 및 메타카올린 두 결합재를 콘크리트 중에 일정량 치환하여 몰르타르 및 콘크리트의 압축강도, 인장강도, 휨강도와 같은 역학적 시험뿐만 아니라, 염소이온확산시험, 화학침식에 대한 저항성 시험, 동결융해저항성 시험과 같은 내구성시험을 병행 실시하였다. 역학적 시험결과 메타카올린을 결합재전체 대비 10에서 15%정도 치환 사용했을 때 가장 적당한 강도결과를 보였다. 그리고, 메타카올린 및 실리카흄 두 결합재의 치환율이 증가할수록 염소이온확산이 훨씬 줄어드는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 그리고, 두 결합재의 미세분말에 의한 충전효과에 의해 일반 콘크리트에 비해 화학적침식저항성이 훨씬 뛰어남을 보였다. 다른 내구성 시험에서도 메타카올린을 사용한 콘크리트가 실리카흄을 사용한 콘크리트에 상응하는 상당한 역학적, 내구특성을 가지고 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 따라서, 이들 시험을 통해 우리는 메타카올린이라는 재료가 충분히 고가의 실리카흄을 대체가능할 수 있을 것이라고 판단할 수 있었다.

최근에 들어 투수콘크리트의 동결융해에 대한 저항성이 저하되는 것과 줄눈부에서의 골재박리 등의 많은 문제점들이 대두되고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 기존의 투수콘크리트의 내구성을 향상시키기 위한 방안으로 잔골재와 실리카흄, 고성능감수제를 사용하여 강도 및 내구성 증진 방안을 연구하였다. 주요실험인자로 실리카흄 혼입률 10%와 잔골재 혼입률(0%, 7%, 15%)을 선정하고, 압축강도와 휨강도, 투수계수 및 공극률, 동결융해시험을 수행하였다. 실험결과 강도측면에서는 잔골재 혼입률이 증가함에 따라 압축 및 휨강도는 증가하는 경향을 보였으나, 상대적으로 공극률 감소로 인한 투수성은 저하되고, 동결융해 저항성도 크게 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 투수콘크리트에 있어서 강도증진을 위해 사용되는 잔골재는 혼입률 제한이 필요하며, 실리카흄 10%이상을 사용하는 것이 강도 및 내구성 측면에서 효율적인 대안이 될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Modulus of rupture (MOR) and flexural toughness in hybrid fiber reinforced cement pastes mixed with micro-fiber (carbon fiber) and macro-fiber (steel fiber) and replaced with silica fume according to the fixed ratio were researched. Reinforcing efficiency in specimens were estimated by two factors, such as strengthening factor $(F_s)$ and toughening factor $(F_t)$, which were calculated from the analysis of variance (ANOVA) of the response values, such as MOR and absorbtion energy $(W_0)$. According to the experimental design by the fractional orthogonal array, nine hybrid fibrous reinforced paste series and one non-reinforced control paste were manufactured. Specimens of each series were tested by the INSTRON Inc. 8502(model) equipment in three-points bending and then measured the load-deflection response relationships. Considerable strengthening of cement pastes resulted in' the case of other factors without carbon fiber and toughening of cement pastes about all factors showed high. Based on the significance of factors related to response values from ANOVA, following assessments were available; $F_s$ or MOR: silica fume $\gg$ steel fiber $\gg$ carbon fiber; $F_t\;or\;W_0$: steel fiber > carbon fiber > silica fume. Optimized composition condition was estimated by steel fiber of $1.5\%$, carbon fiber of $0.5\%$ and silica fume $7.5\%$ in side of strengthening and steel fiber of $1.5\%$, carbon fiber of $0.75\%$ and silica fume $7.5\%$ in side of toughening.

PURPOSES : This purpose of this study is to analyze the effect to autogenous shrinkage of the top-layer material of a two-lift concrete pavement mixing both silica fume and polymer powder. METHODS : The bottom-layer of a two-lift concrete pavement was paved with original portland cement (OPC) with a 20~23 cm thickness. Additionally, the top-layer which is directly exposed to the environment and vehicles was paved with a high-performance concrete (HPC) with a 7~10 cm thickness. These types of pavements can achieve a long service life by reducing joint damage and increasing the abrasion and scaling resistance. In order to integrate the different bottom and top layer materials, autogenous shrinkage tests were performed in this study according to the mixing ratio of silica fume and polymer powder, which are the admixture of the top-layer material. RESULTS : Autogenous shrinkage decreased when polymer powder was used in the mix. Contrary to this, autogenous shrinkage tended to rise with increasing silica fume content. However, the effects were not significant when small amounts of polymer powder were used (3% and 11%). CONCLUSIONS : The durability and compressive strength increase when silica fume is used in the mix. The flexural strength considerably increases and autogenous shrinkage of concrete decreases when polymer powder is used in the mix. As seen from above, the proper use of these materials improves not only durability, but also autogenous shrinkage, leading to better shrinkage crack control in the concrete.

Blast Furnace slag a pigiron waste that is produced more than 800 thousand tons per year, and micronized double quenching blast furnace slag improves flexibility of concrete, and even shows improvement effect of long-term intensity. However, the concrete that used micronized double quenching blast furnace slag is restricted in its use because of many problems to assure early intensity. Even micronized blast furnace slag can assure its early intensity of concrete when maximizing, and is considered that can be applied in high strength of blast furnace slag as an alternation material for Silica-fume that depends on overall import. Hereby this paper is revised activity index and fluidity of mortar that used Nano Slag that is produced by rotten Nano crush equipment to propose its size, and possible utility of Nano Slag that was produced by blast furnace slag made in Korea as an alternation material, with the conclusion as following. 1. To measure micronized Nano slag, it is judged that it should be in progress with BET method that is based on micronized Silica-fume for concrete. 2. As a result, the test based on KS L ISO 679 is shown to satisfy the basic additive size of KS F 2563 and of KS F 2567, and to determine new combination of stipulations. 3. The strength development of Nano Slag was shown excellent in the daily initial installment of 1, 3, 7 days against the basic additive. This is judged that contains CaO controlling initial strength against Silica-fume, and contributes to higher fineness than the basic blast furnace slag 1 type.
