As the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere increases, the reduction of CO2 is gaining worldwide attention. In the construction industry, cement replacement materials such as fly ash and blast furnace slag were investigated to reduce CO2 emissions in cement production process. Precast concrete is used in the field after manufacturing in the factory in the form of pipes and bricks because of shortening construction period and cutting construction cost. According to the results of previous research, it is known that early CO2 curing in concrete using OPC or fly ash has an initial strength enhancement effect and can be used for precast concrete production. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to evaluate the strength improvement effect by confirming the initial strength improvement effect when blast furnace slag is mixed.

Cement paste, mortar or concrete specimens, substituting the content of Portland cement with fly ash up to 50 wt%, were prepared to investigate the effect of fly ash on the temperature, free lime content and strength etc. of mortar/concrete. Being compared with the concrete made of ordinary Portland cement, temperature increment of the concrete containing 50 wt% fly ash reduced, according to appropriate conversion formulae, to about 45％ at the 7 days curing time: the temperature increment of the former amounted to 33.4$^{\circ}C$, while that of the latter only to 18.7$^{\circ}C$. On the other hand, it is better to control the content of fly ash in the cement that is used for reinforced concrete not to exceed 30 wt％. In this study, more than 28 days curing time is necessary in order that the strength of concrete made of fly ash cement will be higher than that of pure Portland cement. In addition, 28-days concrete strength higher than 360 kg/$\textrm{cm}^2$ could be easily achieved even with 50 wt% fly ash cement.

Fly ash has the advantages, among others, of improving the characteristics of concrete, reducing the price of concrete products, improving the durability, and reducing hydration heat. However, when added in mass, it leads to problems such as insufficient concrete intensity, increase of AE use, and others, resulting in a limitation of the use volume. Therefore, this study is undertaken to solve the problems associated with themass use of fly ash through the high concentration powder ($4000{\sim}8000cm^2/g$) of fly ash, curing method, the addition of an alkali stimulation agent and others for the purpose of increasing the added value of the fly ash. The research showed that the intensity manifestation has an outstanding status, with the hydrates reaching a very stable condition if the rate of addition of a stimulation agent is appropriately used with the heightening of the fineness of the fly ash in the temperature range of $40^{\circ}C$, and if the applicable study is continued, it is likely to result ineffective value generation on the massive replacement of fly ash.

This study reviews the internationally existing standards for fly ash and the other pozzolanic materials. The standards reviewed for this report covers the thirteen contries around the world including USA. It is found that the comparison of standards appeared to be different for technical test requirements from the country to country. This may be due to the different composition of fly ash produced in each different country as by-product. It is importantly shown that the four countries, including USA have standardized to compose the total 70% of $SiO_2+Al_2O_3+Fe_2O_3$. The other countries have required to have the individual chemical composition, such as 45% $SiO_2$ in Japan. The loss on ignition is generally in the range of 5-6%, but the maximum 12% was allowed in some countries. This depends on the quality of fly ash. The moisture content is generally less than 3% in all countries except India allows up to 12% The pozzolanic activity (as the compression) has been standardized that the 28 days curing in compression was subjected in all countries but 91 days curing in compression was tested in Japan. It is shown that KS L 5405 is almost identical to JIS A 6201.

This experiment carried out in order to investigate the effect of the chemical activators for acceleration of hydration the system of Fly ash-Cao The paste was consisted of 80wt% Fly ash and 20wt% CaO with 1. 3. 5wt% of 4 activators(N{{{{ alpha _2 }}S{{{{ OMICRON _4 }}, CaC{{{{ {l }_{2 } }}, NaOH, Ca(N{{{{ OMICRON _3 {)}_{2 } }} and W/S ratio of 0.42 After curing for 1, 3, 7, 14, 28 days the paste hydration was characterized by the measurement of compressive strength XRD analysis SEM observation the combined water and the reaction amount of Ca(OH)2 determination. As a result of this ex-periment all of the system which involved Na2SO4 or NaOH had a god compressive strength. In the case of 7 days curing a system which added CaCl2 showed the highest compressive strength among all especially NaOH system showed a high increase in strength as a dosage of it increased. Hydration products were different according to activatores added. Only C-S-H was observed in NaOH system. As the reaction amount of Ca(OH)2 and combined water were increased the compressive strength increased. There were few differences in the comparision of strength between ignited loss 3.1% and loss 9.3% of fly ash.

Strength prediction and correlation of concrete is done using experimental and analytical methods. Main objective is to correlate the experimental and simulated values of compressive strength of concrete mix using Fly Ash (FA) and Silica Fume (SF) by partial replacement of cement in concrete. Mix proportion was determined using IS method for M40grade concrete. Hundred and forty-seven cubes were cast and tested using Universal Testing Machine (UTM). Genetic Algorithm (GA) model was developed using C++ program to simulate the compressive strength of concrete for various proportions of FA and SF replacements individually at 3% increments. Experiments reveal that 12 percent silica fume replacement produced maximum compressive strength of 35.5 N/mm², 44.5 N/mm² and 54.8 N/mm² moreover 9 percent fly ash replacement produced a maximum strength of 31.9 N/mm², 37.6 N/mm² and 51.8 N/mm² during individual material replacement of concrete mix. Correlation coefficient for each curing period of fly ash and silica fume replaced mix were acquired using trend lines. The correlation coefficient is found to be approximately 0.9 in FA and SF replaced mix irrespective of the mix proportion and age of concrete. A higher and positive correlation was found between the experimental and simulated values irrespective of the curing period in all the replacements.

This research examines the engineering properties and color intensities of mortar containing different amounts of fly ash (0, 5, 10 and 20%) mixed at different water-to-binder ratios (w/b = 0.23, 0.47 and 0.59) and exposed at different temperatures (T = 25, 100, 200, 400, 600 and $800^{\circ}C$). Results show that there is greater mass loss on ignition with high w/b and higher temperatures. In addition, the color channel image analyzer (Windows software written in Delphi) is utilized to study the relationship between the curing temperature and intensity of three primary colors, red, green and blue (RGB), of the fly ash mortar specimens. The results show that the RGB intensities on the specimen surface increases from that at $25^{\circ}C$. The mortar specimen becomes white with increase in w/b but without the addition of fly ash. Moreover, for mortar specimens with greater content of fly ash, red on the specimen surface has the greatest increase in intensity at elevated temperature. Observation the variations in color on the specimen surface may help estimate the highest elevated temperatures that concrete structures can withstand.

This research was attempted as one of studies on the strength of mortar added admixtures at different curing temperatures. Variations of curing temperature to. test compressive strength, tensil strength and bending strength were $20^{\circ}C$, $30^{\circ}C$ and $35^{\circ}C$ and these results were summarized as follow : In strength of mortar added briquette ash, the compressive strength was increased: 1.58 percent, the tensile strength 0.96 percent, and the bending strength 1.26 percent compared with standard strength, by increasing one degree of celsius temperature. Also in strength of mortar added fly ash, the compressive strength increased on the average 1.3 percent, the tensile strength 0.99 percent, and the bending strength 1.18 percent at the above conditions. In case of using fly ash as admixture, maximum compressive strengths was attained at the level of 25 percent of fly ash, maximum tensile strength at the level of 20 percent of fly ash, and maximum bending strength at the level of 20 percent of fly ash. In case of using briquette ash, maximum compressive strength was attained maximum strength at 20 percent of the admixture, maximum tensile strength at the level of 15 to 20 percent of admixture and maximum bending strength at the level of 20 percent of admixture. Although addition of briquette ash was less effective in increasing the strength compared with the addition of fly ash, briquette ash might be used as one of admixtures because the control of curing temperature might affect in getting the required practical strength.

Portland cement production-1.5billion tonnes yearly worldwide-contributes substantially to global atmospheric pollution($\sim$7% of total of CO$_2$ emissions). Attempts to increase the utilization of fly ash, a by-products from thermal power plant to partially replace the cement in concrete are gathering momentum. But most of fly ash is currently dumped in landfills, thus creating a threat to the environment. Therefore, In this study, influence of curing temperature(30, 60, 90$^{\circ}$C) on the strength of properties fly ash based cement ZERO mortar was investigate, measured a weight change and pH change according to each care of curing temperature. The test results that a curing at 90$^{\circ}$C is appropriate in case of the high strength concrete is required in the early-age of the curing and 60$^{\circ}$C is efficient for the case of requiring high strength at age 28 days. Furthermore pH variation and value of compressive strength are judged to correlate but change of weight is not the case.
