In this study, we manufactured melting temperature controllable modified surfur (MS) and studied the properties of sulfur modified cement concrete (SMC). We investigated the effects of sulfur and pyridine content on melting temperature of MS. The reaction is confirmed by measuring Raman spectrophotoscopy. The SMC was produced at Water (W)/Cement (C) = 45 wt%, Sand (S)/Aggregate (A) = 45 wt% and 5, 10, 15 and 20 % of MS on the basis of conventional portland cement, respectively. And then physical properties such as compressive strength, splitting tensile strength and permeability of SMC were measured. As MS added, permeability was decreased, while strength and spalling properties were improved. To confirm the safety of MS and SMC, pyrolyzed gas chromatography (P-GC) and gas hazard test were conducted. The results showed that MS and SMC were relatively safe at an elevated temperature.
