The cement industry brought very severe environment problems with massive carbon dioxide during its production. To solve this problem, attempts on Alkali-Activated Slag (AAS) concrete that perfectly substitutes industrial by-products such as ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS) for cement are being actively made. AAS concrete is possible to have high strength development at room temperature, however, it is difficult to ensure the working time due to the fast setting time and the loss of workabillity because of the alkali reaction. In this study, the early age properties of alkali activated slag mortar are investigated to obtain the fundamental data for AAS concrete application to structural members. The water-binder ratio (W/B) was fixed at 0.35 and sodium hydroxide and waterglass as alkali activator was used. The compressive strength, the flow and the ultrasonic pulse velocity were measured according to the type of superplasticisers, which were naphthalene(N), lignin(L), melamine(M) and PC(P), up to a maximum of 2 percent by the mass of GGBFS. The results showed that adding melamine type of superplasticizer improved the fluidity of AAS mortar without decreasing the compressive strength, while naphthalene and polycarbonate type of superplasticizer had little effect on the fluidity of AAS mortar.

The most recent building trend is going large, high rise, high strength as overlarge project is developing in domestic construction business. Belite cement has properties like low heat, excellent long term strength, and durability without admixture(fly ash, silica fume). so, Beilte cement is suitable for mass structure which is needed high strength, high fluidity and low heat property. This study is to examine the possibility if site adoption microwave-use early strength estimation method. Based on the existed study related the portland cement, the interrelation between Belite cement and microwave-use early strength estimation method is required. In this study, interrelation between mortar and Evaluating strength estimation method is investigated before the concrete experiment.

Concrete, the mixture of cement, sand, gravel and water, is a suspension substance extensively used to construct building materials. When a concrete mortar is applied to the underwater construction, the rheology of concrete is of great importance to its flow performance, placement, anti-washout and consolidation. In this research, the anti-washout and rheological properties of concrete have been investigated with concrete admixtures prepared by adding anionic surfactants, cationic surfactants, and polymeric thickeners. The concrete mortar formulated by pseudo-polymeric systems with the electrostatic association of anionic and cationic surfactants, showed high viscosities and suitable anti-washout properties, but poor pumpabilities. The addition of poly methyl vinyl ether to the mixed surfactant system exhibits synergistic effects by improving the concrete mortar properties of the concrete mortar such as fluidity, visco-elastic property, self-leveling, and anti-washout.

The purpose of this study is to develop a floor mortar construction technique which has high strength and inherent mechanical properties and does not cause cracks due to shrinkage after construction. It has been demonstrated that compressive strength, bending strength, flow with floor mortar, and crack reduction performance. As a result, it was confirmed that the developed floor mortar had the same or better performance comparing with the existing foreign products. The results of this experiment can be used as a validation material for high performance and high flowable mortar construction technology with excellent material performance, economical efficiency and construction ability by securing the required performance as floor mortar and selecting the optimal formulation.

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the effects of admixture such as AE water reducing agent and Flyash on properties of cement mortar for floor. As for the effects of AE water reducing agent kinds, fluidity and air content increase in order for melamine type, lignine type and naphtalene type. As Flyash contents increase, fluidity shows high, but air content shows decline tendency. compressive strength according to AE water reducing agent kinds increase in order for melamine type, lignine type and naphtalene type. As AE water reducing agent content increases, it shows to be decreased. As for the effects of Flyash, it retards at early age but at later age it gains high with increase of Flyash contents due to pozzanic reaction. Drying shrinkage shows to be docreased slightly with increase of AE water reducing agent.

In this paper, physical properties of cement mortar for floor using expansion agent are discussed varied with mixing time and curing temperature, delivery time and content of added water for preventing fluidity loss. According to experimental results, slump loss shows high with elapse of time And as curing temperature goes up, it also show high when curing temperature goes up and time lag between mixing and casting increases. As curing temperature goes down, drying shrinkage shows to be decreased. But it shows decline tendency with increase of added water content.

The fiber(NY, PP) known to the effective material on improvement of the fire-resistance of HSC(high strength concrete) has a difference for fluidity according to the variation of a length and contents of fiber. In this study, to analyze the effect of a length and contents of the fiber on the fluidity of HSC and fheological characteristics, we calculated a viscosity of mortar by mini slump-flow, simple V-lot and viscometer. With the test results, the fluidity characteristic showed a moderate difference by a length and contents of the fiber, but showed a significant difference by increase of the fiber contents. ${\ast}$ AFR Concrete (Advenced Fire Resistant Concrete)

To evaluate the properties of inorganic composites using a great quantity of high-calcium fly ash generated in combined heat and power plants, high-calcium fly ash and F-class fly ash commonly used as concrete admixtures were substituted with binding materials to examine changes of fluidity and compressive strength depending on the substitution ratio for each curing temperature. According to the experimental result, CFA-mixed mortar showed a tendency to reduce its flow unlike FFA-mixed mortar as the substitution ratio was increased, but its flow loss showed smaller than FFA as time passed. As a result of examining compressive strength depending on mixing FA, FFA-mixed mortar had an optimum range within 50% when curing at ambient temperature, but it was found that the compressive strength is reduced when mixing CFA. When curing at high temperature, FFA did not relatively have a great effect on the substitution ratio, but CFA could expect a strength enhancement effect compared with 100% of OPC when using within 25% of binding materials.

In the previous study, styrene mdleic dnhydride copolymer(SMA) as synthesized flom styrene and rnale~c dnhydr~de and further redcted with sulfuric acid to obtam water soluble SMA. In thls study, the flow dnd strcngth tests of cement mortar rmxed wth copolymers wele carried out to evaluate the capability of copolymers as high range water reducer for the con crete. It was found from flow exper~ment that the fluidity of cenient mortar rmxed wth sulfonated SMA(SSMAj was larger thdn that mxed ulth amnophenol substituted SSMA (SmSMAj. The decreasing rate of the flow of cement mortar rmxed ulth SSMA and SmSMA was significantly lower than that mixed ulth naphthalene condensate(NSC) The compressslve strength of the hardened cement mortars containing 0.5% copolymers after 28 dys curing was exarmned. 'The compressive strength of hdrdened cement mortar containing SSMA and SmSMA was mcreased up to 31% and 13%, respectively, when omp pared to the plain. As the results, the copolyniers(SSMA and SrnSMA) used in thls study are greatly expected as a good high range water reducers for the concrete.
