In order to investigate stabilization effect on As-contaminated soils treated by zero-valent iron(ZVI) and industrial by-products, batch tests and column tests were carried out with As-contaminated soils collected from farmland around the abandoned mine site. In batch tests, ZVI and industrial by-products(blast furnace slag, steel refining slag and oyster shell powder) were used as treatment materials to reduce As. Industrial by-products were mixed with As-contaminated soils, in the ratio of 1%, 3%, 5% and 7% on the weight base of dried soil. After incubation, all samples showed the reduction of As concentration and it was expected that ZVI and steel refining slag were effective treatment materials to remove As among treatment materials used in batch test. In column tests, columns were made by acrylic with the dimension of diameter=10cm, height=100cm, thickness=1cm and these columns were filled with untreated soils and treated soils mixed with ZVI and steel refining slag(mixing ratio=3%). Distilled water was discharged into the columns with the velocity of 1 pore-volume/day. During test, pH, EC, Eh and As concentration were measured in the regular term(1 pore-volume). As a result, ZVI and steel refining slag were shown 93%, 62% reduction of As concentration respectively by comparison with untreated soils. Therefore, if ZVI and steel refining slag are used as treatment materials in As-contaminated soils, it is expected that the As concentration in soils is reduced effectively.

Recently, high strength, flowability, and durability of concrete were required according to increase of large scale and high rise structure. However, cracks occurred easily on the high performance concrete. In this reason, using expansion agent for reducing shrinkage cracks were increased, but it did not consider on durability of high performance concrete. Accordingly, this study1 investigated the resistance of shrinkage and damage form salt by mixing CSA expansion agent on the blast-furnace slag cement and mixed cement for the low heat of hydration by three components. The cases that 8% of expansion agent was mixed and the proportion was OPC were expanded till 43.7 times compared with control concrete. For the resistance to the damage of salt, it was improved when mixing ratio was incresed and the maximum size of coarse aggregate growed bigger. In this study, the resistance to the damage of salt of the cases that 8% of expansion agent was mixed was improved about 16% compared with control concrete.

This study analyzed the basic characteristics and the characteristic of drying shrinkage and creep of high performance concrete complexly metathesized by BS and FA and the results are summarized as the followings. Regarding to the compressive strengths according to the passage of aging, OPC was appeared to be larger than B2F1 at the initial aging but B2F1 was appeared to be higher than OPC at aging 28days. Regarding to the changing rate of drying shrinkage according to the passage of aging, both OPC and B2F1 were appeared to be increased and, at aging 60days, B2F1 was appeared to be largely increased by about 42% as -21${\times}$10-6 및 -51${\times}$10-6 as compared to OPC. The transforming rate of creep was appeared to have been largely increased at the initial aging and then be smoothly increased somewhat as the aging was passed. And regardign to the transforming rate of creep after 60 days had been passed, B2F1 was appeared to be largely increased by about 13% as compared to OPC.

The rheological properties of slag cement pastes by effect of particle size distribution of binder were investigated using a Rheostress 1 rheometer (Haake) with a cylindrical spindle and the relationship between fluidity particle size distribution using the Rosin-Rammler equation. Samples are combined the two types of slag powder and OPC, fine slag particles sized Elaine specific surface area $8,000cm^2/g$, coarse slag particles sized Elaine specific surface area $2,000cm^2/g$, intermediate OPC particles $3,450cm^2/g$, used to search for the combination that would yield the best quality product. The all flow curves which were measured by rheometer showed hysterisis and could be classified into 4 types. When the combination was based on a ratio of 15-20 vol% fine particles, 40-50 vol% intermediate particles, 30-40 vol% coarse particles of the total volume, a high fluidity and low yield-strength was achieved. The Rosin-Rammler function can explain aboved correlation flow curve types. On type 1, the n-value had a correlation with plastic viscosity however the blend of type 2 and 3 showed consistent n-value regardless of plastic viscosity. In addition, the blend in type 4 tended to a rise in fluidity according to the increase of the n-value.

Fluidity, setting time, hydration heat, bond water ratio, compressive strength, SEM and BET of OPC were measured by adding 1.0 wt% KCl and replacing 20 wt% mineral admixture in order to examine effects of blast furnace slag (BFS), limestone powder (LSP), and fly ash (FA) on fluidity and strength development of the cement contained much chloride. In general, the cement contained much chloride was high in heat of hydration, short in its setting time, low in its fluidity and low in its strength at 28 days due to the rapid hydration in its initial stage. As a result of the experiment, it has been demonstrated that fluidity became improved but the compressive strength at 28 days was decreased as replaced LSP to the cement contained much chloride. the fluidity and compressive strength at 28 days was improved as replaced BFS, the initial compressive strength development was improved due to the activation of initial reaction by KCl. Fluidity, initial compressive strength and late compressive strength at 28 days of cement contained much chloride replaced 5 wt% LSP and 15 wt% BFS concurrently was better than OPC, but the hydration heat was lower.

This paper is dealing with the fundamental properties of planting concrete, replacing the existing cover concrete on the roof of a building. This study is to find out the physical characteristics of the planting concrete and rearing characteristics of the grass throughout the modeling experimental materials. As the results of the experiment, the physical properties of planting concrete show the following results; when the paste to aggregate ratio is 0.2~ 0.4, voids volume : 30~17%, unit weight: 1,710~2,010kg/m3, compressive strength : 45~145kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$, its pH is more than 11, but is reduced to the proper degree for planting after being neutralized. Kentucky bluegrass covered with planting concrete is grown well. The planting concrete used with blast furnace slag cement shows a better properties at the height, the width and the covering rate by 1.1cm, 0.5mm and 7%, respectively, than those used with ordinary portland cement. Also, the less the paste to aggregate ratio is, the better the plant grows. The orders of the effects of temperature control are as follows; the system of planting concrete with grass>the system of planting concrete without grass>the system of mixed soil>the existed roof system. In case, the planting concrete is placed to the roofs of buildings instead of normal concrete slab, and a number of favorable effect can be expected such as the improvement os environmental factors, the reduction of construction cost, the saving of energy and the reduction of environment load. The future research on the change of a variety of the aggregate conditions and the application of the practical structures should be made, and also the research of the endurance also be performed.

At present around 50 companies have their own crushing plants, which manufacture rock into crushed sand, over around 350 different quarry throughout the nation. However, in most plants the stone dust sludge is left as it is in their plants so that they have difficulty to utilize. Furthermore, environmental pollution may be even caused due to dust generated when it is dried. Recycling is starting capturing the attention of the people working over the quarry due to the reasons described above. This research has studied in the quarters the usability as landfill liner of the stone dust sludge, which is industrial waste. We investigated what technological properties it would have after mixing the stone dust sludge with SM(sandy soil) first and then with blast furnace slag or reject ash, which is waste, and cement as the stabilizer. As the result of three tests; compacting test, strength test, and permeability test; to satisfy the regulatory guideline of the government that is the compress strength over 5 $kgf/cm^2$, the flexibility over 1 $kgf/cm^2$, and the permeability under $1.0{\times}10^{-7}cm/sec$ From this research, we could confirm that stone dust sludge would be used as waste landfill liner if it were mixed with other waste by the proper mixing ratio.

This paper reports test results to assess the influence of superplasticizers and different admixture on the flow and compressive strength development of cementless mortar using developed hwangtoh binder. Test specimens were classified into four groups: series for I the mixing ratio of superplasticizers, series II for a kind and replacement level of admixtures according to the variation of water/hwangtoh binder ratio, series III for the specific surface area and replacement level of ground granulated blast-furnace slag and series IV for the replacement level of powered superplasticizer agent developed to improve slump loss of concrete. The proper replacement level of each admixture is proposed for enhancement the flow and compressive strength of the hwangtoh binder mortar.

This paper reports the results of an investigation into the effects of silica fume on strength properties of alkali-activated slag cement (AASC) with water-binder (W/B) ratio and replacement ratio of silica fume content. The W/B ratio varied between 0.50 and 0.60 at a constant increment of 0.05. The silica fume content varied from 0% to 50% by weight of slag. The activators was used sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and the dosage of activator was 3M. The strength development with W/B ratio has been studied at different ages of 1, 3, 7 and 28 days. For mixes of AASC mortars with varying silica fume content, the flow values were lower than the control mixes (without silica fume). The flow value was decrease as the content of silica fume increase. This is because the higher surface areas of silica fume particles increase the water requirement. The analysis of these results indicates that, increasing the silica fume content in AASC mortar also increased the compressive strength. Moreover, the strength decreases with the W/B ratios increases. This is because the particle sizes of silica fume are smaller than slag. The high compressive strength of blended slag-silica fume mortars was due to both the filler effect and the activated reaction of silica fume evidently giving the mortar matrix a denser microstructure, thereby resulting in a significant gain in strength.
