In domestic, there are not adequate admixtures for concrete now, so the study on that is required deeply, Accordingly the purpose of this study is to analyze the application possibilities of Natural Zeolite and Mud Stone as admixtures for concrete through comparing the compressive strength prorerties of mortar mixed with imported Silica Fume those mixed with domestic Zeolite and Mud Stone. As the results from this study, the optimum displacement rate of Silica Fume, Zeolite and Mud Stone is 15%, 5~10%, 15% respectively. In Zeolite and Mud Stone, the compressive strength is higher in proportion as the powder is fine. Consequentely, the application possibility the application possibility of Zeolite and Mud Stone is very sufficient as admixtures for concrete.

$Si_3$$N_4$ ceramics have been identified as one of the promising structural ceramics. This study has been carried out to investigate of the synthetic behaviors of $Si_3$$N_4$ derived from domestic silica-stone by direct nitriding method. The silicon nitridation reaction has been studied in the temperature range of $1300～1550^{\circ}C$. Below the $1400^{\circ}C$, the nitriding rate was measured to be 16%. For the temperatures higher than the $1400^{\circ}C$, $\beta$-$Si_3$$N_4$ phase was formed mainly, and the nitriding rate showed above 98%. With the increasing of sample weight of silicon powder, the nitriding rate and $\beta$-$Si_3$$N_4$ phase increased at $1400^{\circ}C$ for 2 hours. The shape and particle size of$ Si_3$$N_4$ powder synthesized at $1400^{\circ}C$ for 2 hours showed the irregular angular-type and 10 $\mu\textrm{m}$, respectively.

The purpose of this study is to put to practical use the economical high-strength lightweight concrete manufactured by domestic materials, through the analysis on the properties of lightweight concrete with the natural zeolite and mud stone abundant in domestic and compare them with those with silica fume. As a result, it was possible to gain proper workability in the lightweight concrete with admixtures through using the superplasticizer. the optimum replacement rate of zeolite and mud stone powder is respectively 5~10%, 10~15% on unit-cement amount. The strength development rate for plain concrete is 27%, 18% at optimum replacement rate.

The damages due to alkali-aggregate reaction between the reactive silicia constituents of the aggregate and the alkalies in cement have been frequently reported since 1923 in America . Recently alkali-aggregate reaction, especially alkali-silica reaction, can be found all over the area using crushed stones. The first research, in 1990, was performed to identify the alkali-silica reactivity of 18 sets of crushed stones used in domestic ready-mixed concrete plant as coarse aggregates by 4 petrollgical, chemical and mortar bar method, And the study was continued with 10 sets of crushed stones in this research. It was found that all the aggregates used in this study are innocuous at alkali-silica reaction.

This study was performed to investigate the Alkali-Silica Reaction(ASR) of crushed stones using chemical analysis, polarization microscope, XRD, chemical method(KS F 2545, ASTM C 289), mortar-bar method( KS F 2546, ASTM C 227) and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM ) and Energy Dispersive X-ray Analysis(EDXA) of reaction products by ASK in the mortar bars and to investigate the influence on alkali content and kind of added alkali to the ASR. Test results show that one kind of domestic crushed stone is estimated as deleterious by ASTM chemical method and mortar bar method, and reaction product is proved as alkali silicate gel by EDXA.
