In this study, the property and plastic cracking pattern of concrete were compared and analyzed with the replacement ratio of fly ash 0, 5, 10, 15, 20% by cement weight. And curing conditions of concrete were given variously such as indoors(with wind speed as 0, 300, 500m/min), outdoors and chamber. The hydration temperature had a tendency to decrease as the replacement ratio of fly ash increased, and in the case of the wind speed 0m/min, it was showed that the moment that the amount of evaporation of water from surface of reference concrete was more than the volume of bleeding was 90 min since casting concrete. The time that the crack initiated had a tendency to be more quickly as the replacement ratio of fly ash increased. The number, length, width and area of crack in the indoor curing, exposed outdoor curing, enclosed outdoor curing had a tendency to decrease as the replacement ratio of fly ash increased. The crack had a tendency to decrease in sequence of exposed outdoor, enclosed outdoor curing, indoors curing. The outbreak of cracking by the change of temperature and humidity was affected by relative humidity more than temperature and the cracking had a tendency to increase as relative humidity lowered.

The physical, mechanical, water purification and temperature properties of fiber reinforced porous hwang-toh green roof concrete have been evaluated in this study. The effect of the depending on replacement ratio of blast furnace slag to cement was investigated such that the replacement ratio is varied to 0 % and 30 %. Also, the replacement ratios of hwang-toh were 0, 20 and 30 %. The polyvinyl alcohol fiber was used for the reinforcing fiber. A series of pH test, unit weight, void ratio, compressive strength, after purification and variation of temperature test have been performed to evaluate the performance, water purification effect and temperature properties of the fiber reinforced porous hwang-toh green roof concrete. The test results indicate that the physical and mechanical properties of fiber reinforced porous hwang-toh green roof concrete is affected by the replacement ratio of the blast furnace slag and hwang-toh contents. Results of purifying water showed that the water purification effect of porous hwang-toh green roof concrete is about 40 %. Also, the temperature properties test results indicate the green roof blocks using fiber reinforced porous hwang-toh green roof concrete have insulation and temperature reduction effect.

In the era of building engineering the intensification of Self Compacting Concrete (SCC) is world-shattering magnetism. It has lot of rewards over ordinary concrete i.e., enrichment in production, cutback in manpower, brilliant retort to load and vibration along with improved durability. In the present study, the mechanical strength of CM-2 (SCC containing 10% of rice husk ash (RHA) as cement replacement and 600 grams of glass fibers per cubic meter) was investigated at various dosages of cement replacement by fly ash (FA) and GGBS. A total of 17 SCC mixtures including two control SCC mixtures (CM-1 and CM-2) were developed for investigating fresh and hardened properties in which, ten ternary cementitious blends of SCC by blending OPC+RHA+FA, OPC+RHA+GGBS and five quaternary cementitious blends (OPC+RHA+FA+GGBS) at different replacement dosages of FA and GGBS were developed with reference to CM-2. For constant water-cement ratio (0.42) and dosage of SP (2.5%), the addition of glass fibers (600 grams/m³) in CM-1 i.e., CM-2 shows lower workability but higher mechanical strength. While fly ash based ternary blends (OPC+RHA+FA) show better workability but lower mechanical strength as FA content increases in comparison to GGBS based ternary blends (OPC+RHA+GGBS) on increasing GGBS content. The pattern for mixtures appeared to exhibit higher workablity as that of the concentration of FA+GGBS rises in quaternary blends (OPC+RHA+FA+GGBS). A decrease in compressive strength at 7-days was noticed with an increase in the percentage of FA and GGBS as cement replacement in ternary and quaternary blended mixtures with respect to CM-2. The highest 28-days compressive strength (41.92 MPa) was observed for mix QM-3 and the lowest (33.18 MPa) for mix QM-5.

The purpose of this study is to find mechanical properties of fly ash ratio in mortar as flowing, setting time, compressive strength, suction ratio of water, length change ratio. As a result, it was shown that proper fly ash ratio replaced by cement weight in mortar was generally positive effect to flowing, compressive strength suction ratio of water, length change ratio. So if fly ash is well done quality control is considered as good replacement of cement.

In this study, the rheological properties of cement pastes containing blastfurnace slag of different fineness were investigated. The fluidity of cement pastes with low Blaine value blastfurnace slag was increased with decreasing the plastic viscosity and the yield stress of pastes. And the optimum dosage of polycarboxylate type superplasticizer to the cement pastes was confirmed according to the fineness and the replacement ratio of blastfurnace slag. All cement pastes showed the thixotropy behavior. And also it was formed that the segregation range of cement pastes was occurred below $10D/cm^2$ of the yield stress and below 350 cPs of the plastic viscosity by the coaxial cylinder viscometer.

In this study, the influence of cement factor on the early strength gain and the other properties of concrete is discussed. According to the result, the setting time is faster in order of alumina cement(AC), high-early-strength cement(HSC) and ordinary Portland cement(OPC), and when OPC are replaced with HSC and AC, the final setting time is faster than when only OPC is used. At 10% replacement of AC, the instant setting happens. As the particle of cement is minute, setting time is shortened. As the properties of hardened concrete, the time when compressive strength of 5㎫, which the form can be removed, is gained is about 18 and 16 hours in the case of OPC and HSC respectively, and in the case of AC, it is about 5 hours. It also shows 16 hours at the replacing ratio of HSC of 50%, and 26 and 72 hours at the replacing ratio of AC of 5 and 10% respectively. And it shows 21, 16 and 12 hours with variation of fineness of cement, so early strength gain is fast with an increase of fineness. The coefficient of correlation between compressive strength and the rebound value is over 0.97, is very favorable. Therefore, if the rebound value of P type Schmidt hammer is more than 25, it is thought that the side forms can be removed.

The utilization of metakaoline as a mineral admixture for cement has received considerable attention in recent years. This paper investigates the rheological properties of cement pastes containing metakaoline in view of fluidity. The rheology of the paste is assessed by using a BROOKFIELD RVDV II + viscometer (SC4-21, 29) having cylindrical spindle. The results show the fluidity of cement pastes with metakaoline is increased by increasing W/S ratio and the dosage of superplastcizer. And also cement pastes with metakaoline as a partial replacement of cement show a dilatant behavior. Dilatancy is heavily influenced by W/S ratio and by the amount of metakaoline. However the thixotropy of the pastes is increased by silica fume.

This research reviewed the characteristics of waste concrete sludge occurred from recycled aggregate producing process and the physical and mechanical properties of the mortar incorporated the pulverized the waste concrete sludge. From the results of the experiment, as the replacement ratio of waste concrete sludge powder was increased, the dosage of superplasticizer to satisfy the target flow of 200 ± 10 was increased, and the compressive and flexural strengths were decreased. On the other hand, when the sludge powder replacement ratio was 25 %, outstanding performance of general characteristics of mortar was obtained while it was lower than Plain mixture, thus, further detail study on various replacement ratios of waste concrete sludge powder is needed.
