The influence of ZnCl2 in portland cement hydration was studied. The hydration reaction was progressed with ZnCl2 solution to observe the adiabatic hydration exothermic and hydration products. To compare with cement hydration, Ca(OH)2 solution reacted with ZnCl2 was carried out. The addition of ZnCl2 solution to the portland cement was retarded hydration quantitatively. Because ZnO which was produced in certain pH adsorbed with unhydrated cement made retarded the hydration reaction.

For many years, alkali activated blast furnace slag cement containing no ordinary portland cement has received much attention in the view of energy saving and its many excellent properties. We examined the structural change of slag glass which was activated by alkali metal compounds using IR spectroscopy. The properties of hydrated products and unhydrated slag grains was characterized by XRD and micro-conduction calorimeter. Ion concentration change in the liquid during the hydration of blast furnace slag was also studied to investigated the hydration mechanism.

고로슬래그 미분말을 순환골재 모르타르 및 콘크리트의 제조에 활용할 경우, 순환골재에서 용출된 $Ca(OH)_2$가 고로슬래그에 대한 자극제 역할을 수행하여 수화반응을 개선할 수 있을 것으로 판단되고 고로슬래그를 통해 알칼리 저감 효과를 얻을 것으로 예상되어 본 연구를 진행하게 되었다. 그 결과 고로슬래그 미분말을 혼입 사용한 순환 잔골재 모르타르는 재령 3일에서는 고로슬래그 혼입율에 따라 강도가 감소하는 결과를 나타냈다. 이는 고로슬래그의 수화반응이 일어나지 않았기 때문으로 판단되며 또한, 순환 잔골재 혼입률에 관계없이 고로슬래그 미분말의 혼입률이 증가함에 따라 재령 3일 측정한 수화활성도도 저하되는 것으로 나타났다. 재령 7일에서는 순환 잔골재에서 용출된 수산화칼슘($Ca(OH)_2$)이 자극제 역할을 수행하여 고로슬래그 미분말을 혼입한 배합의 압축강도 발현이 천연 잔골재를 사용한 모르타르보다 서서히 증가하는 결과를 보이기 시작하였으며 이로 인해 재령 7일 측정한 고로슬래그 미분말을 단계별로 혼입한 배합의 수화활성도가 고로슬래그를 혼입하지 않은 배합보다 높아지는 것으로 나타났다. 재령 28일에서는 고로슬래그 미분말 혼입률 30% 배합에서는 고로슬래그의 수화반응으로 인해 천연 잔골재를 사용한 배합보다 높은 압축강도를 보이기 시작하였으며 이때 측정한 수화활성도는 천연 잔골재를 사용한 배합과 특별한 차이를 보이지 않았으며, 이는 지속적으로 수산화칼슘($Ca(OH)_2$)이 공급되지 못하였기 때문으로 판단된다.

This paper describes a numerical method for estimating the elastic moduli of cement paste. The cement paste is modeled as a unit cell which consists of three components: the unhydrated cement grain, the gel, and the capillary pore. In the unit cell, the volume fractions of the constituents are quantified using a single kinetic function calculating the degree of hydration. The elastic moduli of cement paste are calculated from the total displacements of constituents when a uniform pressure is applied to the gel contact area. The cement paste is assumed to be a homogenous isotropic matrix. Numerical simulations were conducted through the finite element analysis of the three-dimensional periodic unit cell. The model predictions are compared with experimental results. The predicted trends are in good agreement with experimental observations. This approach and some of the results might also be relevant for other technical applications.

High strength cement hardened body was prepared by ordinary portland cement, silica-fume, super-plasticizer and the industrial by-product powder such as tailing, paper sludge ash and granulated slag. These raw materials were mixed and formed with w/c=0.18. The cement hardened body is cured in the autoclave at 18$0^{\circ}C$, 10atm. These admixtures made the compressive strength of all specimens develope by 170~230%. The highest compressive strength could be obtained by 236 MPa when mix composition was 14 wt% of silica-fume and 26 wt% of granulated slag. The compressive strength increased with decreasing the average pore size and the amount of the poe over the size of 50 nm by which the appearance of high compressive strength of the cement hardened body were mainly influenced. In the result, the hydration products were C-S-H, tobermorite and ettringite and it was realized that the reason why the cement hardened body became dense and revealed the higher strength was that those hydrates were formed inside of the pore and filled in it and the unhydrated materials played the role of an inner-filler.

In order to study on the effect of SiC whisker in flexural strength characterization of macro defect-free (MDF) cement composites, which composed of high alumina cement and polyvinyl alcohol, microstructural characterization of the composite specimens fabricated by the addition of SiC whiskers was investigated. Microproes are created around the SiC whisker, MDF cement didn't react with the SiC whisker. However, flexural strength of the composites have been improved. Fracture morphology of the composites, presents mainly intergranular type fracture passing around the unhydrated particles and siC whiskers, and partially transgranular type fracture. The main strengthening mechanisms of the MDF cement composites reinforced with SiC whiskers are characterized by crack deflection, microcracking, and bridging of cracks.

When manufacturing self-healing concrete using bacteria, nutrients are added to increase the activity of the bacteria. Although many researches have focused on the effects of nutrients containing bacterial healing agent on concrete, few have studied the effects of sole nutrient on self-healing of cement composites. Bacterial nutrients, like commercial chemical admixtures, affect hydration characteristics such as flow, setting, hydration heat, mechanical strength of cement composites and also affect the self healing of cement composites by hydration of unhydrated particles. In this study, effect of the four nutrient commonly used in the existing literature on the hydration characteristics of cement composites by its addition was investigated. Flow, setting time, hydration heat, compressive strength have studied for each nutrients added by 1.5% and 3% of cement weight. Experimental results shows that urea and calcium-nitrate can be used up to 3% without significant detrimental effect on cement composites. Addition of calcium-lactate up to 1.5% show better compressive strength than control, but addition of 3% show almost non-hydration. Yeast extract shows detrimental effects on the composites regardless of the amount added.

순환골재가 복토 및 성토용으로 활용되는 경우 순환골재 표면의 미수화 시멘트로부터 발생하는 높은 pH의 침출수는 환경에 큰 영향을 주는 요소이다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 높은 pH의 침출수를 방지하기 위해 순환골재의 효율적인 알칼리 제거 방안에 대해 실험적으로 비교분석 하였다. 실험결과 순환골재의 높은 알칼리성을 감소시키기 위해서는 단순 야적 및 물을 이용한 씻기 방법보다는 비료를 사용한 처리방법이 가장 유리한 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 본 연구에서는 비료의 종류인 인산암모늄과 이인산암모늄을 활용하여 순환골재를 중화시켰고 그 결과 약 3주 만에 pH 8의 중성에 가까운 순환잔골재를 얻을 수 있었다. 본 연구를 통해 순환골재를 토공사용으로 사용할 때에 보다 환경에 안전한 지속가능한 재료로서 활용하는 데에 기여할 것으로 예상한다.

본 연구에서는 알칼리 이온의 침출을 완화하기 위해 전기화학적 처리로 100일 동안 수중 환경에 침지된 시멘트 페이스트의 표면을 현미경으로 관찰하였다. 계면 영역에서의 미수화물 입자와 공극률을 정량적으로 평가하기 위하여 주사 전자 현미경을 통해 후방 산란 전자(BSE) 이미지를 얻었다. 그 결과, 전기화학적 처리에 의해 표면부의 공극률이 크게 감소한 반면, 전하 상태에서 제한된 수화반응에 의해 미수화 입자는 다소 증가한 것으로 나타났다. 전기화학적 처리에서, C-S-H 겔에 존재하는 Ca²⁺ 이온은 공극수 내의 OH^- 이온과 Ca(OH)₂ 형태로 침전되어 C-S-H 겔을 낮추면서 동시에 Ca(OH)₂를 증대시킬 수 있다. 실질적으로 알칼리 침출에 대한 위험성은 전기화학적인 처리 하에서 제한된 이온화 매트릭스에 의해 감소될 수 있다.

Autogenous healing of concrete can be helpful in structural maintenance by healing cracks using a healing material created by the precipitation of calcite and by the hydration of unhydrated binder around the cracks. Against this backdrop, this study investigated the physicochemical properties and autogenous healing performance of ternary blended binder composed of ordinary Portland cement (OPC), blast furnace slag (BFS), and calcium sulfoaluminate (CSA) clinker. Ternary blended binders with various contents of OPC-BFS-CSA clinker were prepared, and their physicochemical properties and autogenous healing performances were examined using various analytical techniques and visually observed using a microscope. The obtained results indicated that increase in the BFS content accompanied the increased the amount of unreacted BFS even after 28 days of curing and had a positive effect on the autogenous healing performance due to its latent hydration. However, replacing the CSA clinker did not increase the autogenous healing performance owing to an insufficient sulfate source for the formation of ettringite. The main precipitates around the cracks were calcite, C-S-H. Other hydration products such as portlandite, monosulfate, and ettringite, which were not found in the Raman and scanning electron microscope analyses.
