Waste foundry sand (WFS) is the waste product that cause environmental hazards. WFS can be used as a partial replacement of cement or fine aggregates in concrete. A database comprising 234 compressive strength tests of concrete fabricated with WFS is used. To construct the machine learning-based prediction models, the water-to-cement ratio, WFS replacement percentage, WFS-to-cement content ratio, and fineness modulus of WFS were considered as the model's inputs, and the compressive strength of concrete is set as the model's output. A base extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost) model together with two hybrid XGBoost models mixed with the tunicate swarm algorithm (TSA) and the salp swarm algorithm (SSA) were applied. The role of TSA and SSA is to identify the optimum values of XGBoost hyperparameters to obtain the higher performance. The results of these hybrid techniques were compared with the results of the base XGBoost model in order to investigate and justify the implementation of optimisation algorithms. The results showed that the hybrid XGBoost models are faster and more accurate compared to the base XGBoost technique. The XGBoost-SSA model shows superior performance compared to previously published works in the literature, offering a reduced system error rate. Although the WFS-to-cement ratio is significant, the WFS replacement percentage has a smaller influence on the compressive strength of concrete. To improve the compressive strength of concrete fabricated with WFS, the simultaneous consideration of the water-to-cement ratio and fineness modulus of WFS is recommended.

The change in the degree of powder in cement is very important because it plays a major role in the reaction in the concrete. In this study, we intend to apply the principle of early estimation of concrete strength using the non-middling method previously conducted to the quality evaluation of cement powder. In other words, it is proposed to analyze the potential of Hydrometer density values and the data of temperature variation in the trust solution to propose a method of acceptance inspection. According to the experimental results, the quick evaluation of the cement distributorship will be possible if the resulting regression results are used : y = 161867.4 x₁ + 117.953 x₂ - 165437 (R = 0.9158).

This study investigates experimentally into the design factors and quality variations having an effect on the properties of the combined high flowing concrete to be poured in the slurry wall of Inchon LNG in-ground receiving terminal. Especially, high belite cement and lime stone powder as cementitious materials and viscosity agent in order to improve self-compaction and hydration heat are used in this study. Water-cement ratio(W/C), fine aggregate volume ratio(Sr) and coarse aggregate volume ratio(Gv) as design factors of the combined high flowing concrete are applied to determine the optimum mix design proportion. Also quality variations for sensitivity test are selected items as followings. (1)Surface moisture(5cases) and (2)Fineness modulus of fine aggregate(5cases), (3)Concrete temperature(3cases), (4)Specific surface(3cases) and particle size of lime stone powder. As experimental results, water-cement ratio, fine and coarse aggregate volume ratio are shown as the optimum range 51%, 43% and 53% separately considering site condition of slurry wall. Also quality factors by sensitivity test should be controlled in the following ranges. (1) Surface moisture :to.67% and (2)Fineness modulus 2.6$\pm$0.2 of fine aggregate, (3)Concrete temperature l0-20t, (4) Specific surface 6,000$\textrm{cm}^2$/g and particle size 9.7$\pm$1.0${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ of lime stone powder. Based on the results of this study, the optimum mix design proportion of the combined high flowing concrete are selected and poured successfully in the slurry wall of LNG in-ground tank.

최근 건설 현장에서 소성수축과 건조수축으로 인한 바닥용 모르타르의 균열은 매우 심가하다. 이러한 바닥용 모르타르의 균열을 방지하기 위하여 필요한 작업성을 유지하면서 단위수량을 최소화하는 최적배합의 선정과 팽창제를 사용하여 수축을 보상하는 방법에 대하여 연구하였다. 현장조사에 의하면 현장에서 사용중인 바닥용 모르타르의 물 시멘트는 약 64%인 것으로 나타났다.그리고 바닥용 모르타르의 물 시멘트를 줄이더라도 조립율이 큰 잔골재를 사용하고 고성능감수제를 적정량만큼 첨가하면 필요한 작업성을 유지할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 이 연구에서는 모르타르의 플로우와 물 시멘트비, 잔골재시멘트비, 잔골재의 조립율과의 관계식을 제안하였으며, 제시된 식은 바닥용 모르타르의 배합설계에 유용하게 활용될 것으로 판단된다.

The fine blast furnace slag is widely used as the admixture as it helps to increase the fluidity, long term strength of the concrete but decrease the heat of hydration. In case of the fine blast furnace slag, if the fineness of the slag is enhanced with the addition of gypsum to the concrete for the supplement of low strength in early stage and the facilitation of the initial hydration, the quality of the concrete is expected to change depending on the volume of the gypsum volume fraction. But, up to now the study on the fine blast furnace slag has only focused on the effect of fineness, replacement and admixture and there have been almost no studies on the effect of the gypsum volume fraction. Accordingly, this study focuses on what effect the gypsum volume fraction would make on the fluidity characteristics of the ultrafine furnace slag cement paste by using the rheology properties.

최근 전 세계적으로 우수한 성능을 인정받는 플라이애쉬는 시멘트의 대체재로 많은 연구와 적용사례가 늘어나고 있으나, KS L 5405에 규정된 분말도 $3,000{\sim}4,500\;cm^2/g$급인 플라이애쉬를 단위시멘트량의 20% 전후로 치환하여 사용하고 있어 그 이상의 분급에 관한 규정은 부족한 실정이다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 3성분계 콘크리트의 특성에 미치는 고분말도 플라이애쉬의 치환율 및 물-결합재비 영향을 분석하기 위해 분말도 4000, 6000, 8000급과 치환율 15, 30, 45%의 3수준으로 설정하였으며, 물-결합재비는 40, 50%의 2수준으로 실험한 결과, 굳지않은 콘크리트의 성상에서 플라이애쉬의 치환율과 분말도가 높을수록 유동성이 향상되는 경향을 나타내었으나, 물-결합재비가 높을수록 현저히 낮아지는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 공기량은 플라이애쉬의 치환율과 분말도가 증가하고 물-결합재비가 낮아짐에 따라 감소하는 경향을 나타내었고, 플라이애쉬의 치환율과 분말도가 높을수록 응결이 촉진되는 현상을 나타내었으며, 물-결합재비에 관계없이 플라이애쉬의 치환율이 높을수록 수화열 저감을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한, 강도특성에서는 치환율과 물-결합재비가 높아질수록 강도가 낮아지는 경향을 나타내었다.

This study is designed to manufacture the continuous foamed concrete and the sound absorption characteristics investigation due to continuous voids ratio. According to the results of experiment, it was shown that continuous voids of the foamed concrete has the influence of the amount used of foaming agent, the viscosity and flowability of cement paste, and also is shaped by cohesive power of bubbles. Also the sound absorption ratio of the foamed concrete is subject to increase as the density becomes low by raising the continuous voids ratio. The cement paste with low water-cement ratio and high cement fineness are very effective to prevent weak strength of formed concrete caused by the increase of the porosity.

This paper is to investigate experimentally the property of strength development on the concrete for 5 years according to the change of a replacement rate of coarse particle cement in order to use coarse particle cement with a fineness of 1 900 ㎠/g that is classified during a grinding process of the OPC production. The result is that as the CC replacement rate increased, the compressive strength was decreased proportionally. but the width of strength reduction was reduced as time passed.

ALC was fabricated using cement, lime and quartzite by hydrothermal reaction. ALC has low strength and brittleness on account of inner pores. The studies for resolving these problems were driven by many researchers. Among these researches, the controls of quartzite fineness have been studied for unsuitable properties of ALC. This study experimented with variation of 90 ${\mu}m$ residue for obtain good physical properties. It was found that 90 ${\mu}m$ residue influenced on physical properties of ALC. The lower amount of 90 ${\mu}m$ residue, the higher compressive and bending strength. But the continuing decrease of 90 ${\mu}m$ residue did not cause the increase of strength. In order to application of these results in process, the states of process and hydrothermal products will be considered.

최근 건설 시공기술의 발달에 따라 고유동 고강도화된 고성능 콘크리트의 사용이 일반화되고 있는 추세이다. 이러한 고성능 콘크리트는 일반 콘크리트에 비해 혼화재 및 고성능AE감수제의 사용 등을 통해 요구 성능을 확보할 수 있으며, 기존의 경우 고성능 콘크리트의 품질 변동에 미치는 혼화재료의 영향에 대해 다양한 연구 결과는 보고되고 있다. 그러나, 콘크리트의 가장 중요한 원자재인 시멘트가 고유동 콘크리트 품질에 미치는 영향에 대한 연구 보고는 아직은 미흡한 실정이다. 따라서 시멘트 품질과 고유동 콘크리트의 유동 특성의 상관성을 검토하기 위해 국내 시판중인 시멘트 제품들을 대상으로 제품별 품질 특성을 명확히 구명하고, 시멘트 품질 특성이 고유동 콘크리트 제조시 유동 특성에 미치는 영향을 평가하였다. 연구 결과 분말도 및 시멘트의 초기 수화과정에 관여하는 화학조성, 간극상 등은 감수제의 사용량에 영향을 미치며, 특히, 분말도는 제조사별 품질 특성에 상관없이 매우 높은 상관성을 나타내고 있다. 강도발현특성에 있어서는 감수제 사용량의 변화는 초기 재령에 영향을 미치지만 장기재령에서는 거의 영향이 없는 것으로 나타났다.
