  • The purpsoe of this study was to produce domestic stamping materials; sling mass which could be used as unburned refractory for iron melt'ladle. Batch compositions were based on Belgian Ladelite; mineral compositions were composed of 84 wt% of quartz and 16 wt% of clay, and particle sizes were divided into 12 wt% of 1410/297㎛, 18wt% 297/149㎛, 20wt% of 149/74㎛, 11wt% 74/44㎛ and 39wt% 44㎛ under. The effect of variable batch compositions were also investigated such as substitution of pyrophylite or industrial grade alumina for quartz and of zircon for portion of quartz and clay, increase of clay and addition on sericite. Samples were pressed at 100kg/㎠ with 7.4wt% of water or 7.4wt% of 4 wt% PVA solution. Dried and Fired properties of samples such as linear shrinkage, apparent porosity, modulus of rupture, refractoriness and corrosion resistance to blast furnace slag were investigated. The results are summarized as follows. 1. Dried samples are shrinked, but fired at 700-1400℃ expanded. Samples fired at 700-1000℃ and 1200-1400℃ tended to expand with incresing of firing temperature, but fired at 1000-1200℃ tended to shrink with increase of firing temperature. 2. Apparent porosity of samples fired at 700℃ is increased, but fired at 1200-1400℃ decreased with increasing of firing temperature. 3. Modulus of rupture of samples fired at 700℃ is decreased, but fired at above 700℃ increased with increasment of firing temperature. 4. Dried samples with 7.4 wt% of 4 wt% PVA solution better improve modulus of rupture than with 7.4 wt% of water, but the firing strength of the sampels fired at 700-1000℃ is showed reversely. 5. In quartz-clay system, mineral phases of samples fired at above 1200℃ are consisted of α-quartz, α-cristobalite and mullite. Respectively as firing temperature was rising up, intensity of α-cristobalite and mullite is in creased. 6. Quartz-Kibushi clay system, Kimcheun quartz(substitutuion of portion of industrial grade alumina for quartz) Hampyeung clay system and pyrophyllite-clay system are better in corrosion resistance to blast furnace slag than burned pyrophyllite brick. 7. 84 wt% of pyrophyllite-16wt% of clay system is superior in modulus of rupture and corrosion resistance to blast furnace slag to 84 wt% of quartz-16 wt% of clay system.

  • Since 1970s, though many effective construction methods have been established to solve soft ground problems which had occurred in the off shore land reclamation and on shore highway construction, lateral movement of structure on soft ground is still a big problem to engineers. In this study an applicability of criteria for determining the lateral movement of the structure in soft ground is examined and most measured data is obtained from 140 bridge abutments in highway construction sites. Characteristics and effectiveness of existing methods that used for deciding amount of lateral movements of abutment are analyzed using the obtained data. From the analysis, a proper method to prevent lateral movement is proposed. This method is confirmed on several case histories which were constructed on marine clay.

  • Thermal comfort and energy conservation are critical issues in the building sector. Energy consumption in the building sector should be reduced whilst enhancing the thermal comfort of occupants. Concrete is the most widely used construction material in buildings. Its thermal conductivity (k-value) has a direct effect on thermal comfort perception. This study aims to find the optimum value of replacing the normal aggregate with lightweight expanded clay aggregate (LECA) under high strengths and low thermal conductivity, density and water absorption. The k-value of the LECA concrete and its physical and mechanical properties have varying correlations. Results indicate that the oven-dry density, compressive strength, splitting tensile strength and k-value of concrete decrease when normal coarse aggregates are replaced with LECA. However, water absorption (initial and final) increases. Thermal conductivity and the physical and mechanical properties have a strong correlation. The statistical optimisation of the experimental data shows that the 39% replacement of normal coarse aggregate by LECA is the optimum value for maximising the compressive and splitting tensile strengths whilst maintaining the k-value, density and water absorption at a minimum.

  • Four organic polymers were mixed with mothmorillonite. Two cationic polymers a hi로 molecular weight polyacrylamide (494C) and a low molecular weight polymer (587C).Two anionic polymers include a high molecular weight polymer (aerotil). Each clay supension series were allowed to stand for 24 hours and were centrifuged, and the clay plugs were washed and dried. The dried samples investigated by XRD, IR and CEC measurement. The suspended clay containing anionic polymers was not flocculated at any concentratuons of polymer. But the suspendions containing two cationic polymers were rapidly flocculated at almost all concentrations. the d(001) spacings of Na-montmorillonite after being with cationic polymer 587C show about 15$\AA$ suggesting the polymers may have entered the interlayer spaces. The polymer 494C-treated sample produced double peaks of about 12 and 15$\AA$ in XRD. It indicates that the high molecular weight polymer. And cationic polymer 494C may be adsorbed mainy on the outside surface of clay, and some polymers may peretrate into olny interlayers in the margin of montmorillonite particles because of its high molecular weught. CEC of polumer 587-treated sample was reduecd mmarkedly suggesting polymer blocks CEC sites. The d(001) spacings of Ca-montmorillonite after being treated with cationic polymers show about 15$\AA$ suggesting that the interlayer spaces have not been expanded. In the experiment using a dilute Ca-bearing solution, the suspended caly containinf anionic polymers was flocculated. The results indicate that the flocculation behavior of montmorillonite-polymer supension depends on not only polymer properties such as concentration, electric charge and molecular weight but also compositions of solvent.

  • Reinforced soil and Expanded Polystyrenes (EPS) mixture (RSEM) is a geomaterial which has many merits, such as light weight, wide strength range, easy for construction, and economic feasibility. It has been widely applied to improve soft ground, solve bridge head jump, fill cavity in pipeline and widen highway. Reutilizing dredged sediment to produce RSEM as earthfill can not only consume a large amount of waste sediment but also significantly reduce the construction cost. Therefore, there is an urgent need understand the basic stress-strain characteristics of reinforced dredged sediment-EPS mixture (RDSEM). A series of cyclic triaxial tests were then carried out on the RDSEM and control clay. The effects of cement content, EPS beads content and confining pressure on the cyclic stress-strain behaviour of RDSEM were analyzed. It is found that the three stages of dynamic stress-strain relationship of ordinary soil, vibration compaction stage, vibration shear stage and vibration failure stage are also applicative for RDSEM. The cyclic stress-strain curves of RDSEM are lower than that of control clay in the vibration compaction stage because of its high moisture content. The slopes of backbone curves of RDSEMs in the vibration shear stage are larger than that of control clay, indicating that the existence of EPS beads provides plastic resistance. With the increase of cement content, the cyclic stress-strain relationship tends to be steeper. Increasing cement content and confining pressure could improve the cyclic strength and cyclic stiffness of RDSEM.

  • Al-pillared clay was synthesized by constructing pillars of aluminum oxides at the interlayer of montmorillonite in bentonite. XRD, DTA and chemical analyses of Al-pillared clay were performed to examine mineralogical properties. Batch adsorption experiments were also conducted to determine the adsorption properties of this synthesized clay for phosphate ions. XRD analyses showed that the interlayer space of Al-pillared clay expanded to 18.03 $\AA$ at room temperature and shifted to $17 \AA$ after heating to $550^{\circ}C$. A small change in interlayer space after heating indicates high thermal stability. The interlayer expansion by glycerol was also very small. From DTA analyses, pillared clay showed the characteristic endothermic peaks at 270 and $420^{\circ}C$ , which might be caused by dehydration in framework of pillars between interlayers. Adsorption experiment revealed that Al-pillared clay had an excellent adsorption capacity to the phosphate ions, whereas montmorillonite had very low adsorption capacity to phosphate ions. In phosphate solution concentration up to 300 mg/L, 2 g of pillared clay could uptake almost 100% of phosphate ions from 20 mL of solution. After heat treatment of the phosphate adsorbed pillared clay at 50$0^{\circ}C$ to remove phosphate, the calcined pillared clay could adsorb phosphate ions with a little decreased adsorption efficiency. This fact indicates that Al-pillared clay can be recycled for the adsorption of phosphate ions.

  • Hydrogels have been investigated due to their potential in a myriad of applications. The introduction of functional moiety such as sulfide has expanded their applicability. In this study, an investigation was carried out on the introduction of fucoidan into the hydrogels of clay/acrylamide. In the resulting semi-IPN nanocomposite hydrogels, the linear polysaccharide, fucoidan, has strong ionic interactions with clay. It was also confirmed from simple mixing tests that fucoidan can physically crosslink with clay without chemical crosslinks. In the semi-IPN hydrogels, equilibrium swelling ratio increased with the content of fucoidan. Elastic modulus increased with an initial increase in the content of fucoidan, and decreased with a further increase. The work of fracture results of these hydrogels showed their tough properties. These hydrogels could provide functional properties such as mucoadhesiveness with tunable hydrogel characteristics.
