The rheology properties of cement paste with variation of quantity and type of mineral admixture were investigated. The rheology of the paste was assessed by using a HAAKE Rotovisco(RT 20) rheometer having cylindrical serrate spindle. The results were as follows: The viscosity and the yield stress of cement paste were decreased by the only replacement of 10% BFS(blast furnace slag) or the only replacement of 30% FA(fly ash), whereas SF(silica fume) increased them as the replacement quantity was increased. Increasing the dosage of HRWR(high-range water reducer), the rheology properties were improved significantly in cement paste with the replacement of SF. In addition, rheology properties of two ingredient blended pastes, such as BFS(20%)-SF(5%), FA(20%)-SF(5%), were improved more than those of three ingredient blended paste, BFS(20%)-FA(20%)-SF(5%).

Addition of latex to concrete is known to increase its durability and permeability. The purpose of this study is to analyze air void systems in latex-modified concretes using a reasonable and objective method of image analysis with such experimental variables as water-cement (w/c) ratios, latex contents (0%, 15%) and cement types (ordinary portland cement (OPC), high-early strength (HES) cement and very-early strength (VES) cement). The results are analyzed by spacing factor, air volume (content) after hardening, air void distribution and structure. Additionally, air void systems and permeability of latex-modified concrete (LMC) are compared by a correlation analysis. The results are as follows. The LMC of the same w/c ratio showed better air entraining (AE) effect than OPC with AE water reducer. The VES-LMC showed that the quantity of entrained air below $100{\mu}m$ increased more than four times. For the case of HES-LMC, microscopic entrained air between the range of 50 to $500{\mu}m$ increased greater than 7 times even in the absence of anti-foamer. Although spacing factor was measured rather low, the permeability of latex-modified concrete was good. It is construed that air void system does not have a considerable effect on the property of latex-modified concrete, but latex film (membrane) has a definite influence on the durability of LMC.

In this study, potential of three machine learning techniques i.e., M5P, Support vector machines and Gaussian processes were evaluated to find the best algorithm for the prediction of flexural strength of concrete mix with steel fibre. The study comprises the comparison of results obtained from above-said techniques for given dataset. The dataset consists of 124 observations from past research studies and this dataset is randomly divided into two subsets namely training and testing datasets with (70-30)% proportion by weight. Cement, fine aggregates, coarse aggregates, water, super plasticizer/ high-range water reducer, steel fibre, fibre length and curing days were taken as input parameters whereas flexural strength of the concrete mix was taken as the output parameter. Performance of the techniques was checked by statistic evaluation parameters. Results show that the Gaussian process technique works better than other techniques with its minimum error bandwidth. Statistical analysis shows that the Gaussian process predicts better results with higher coefficient of correlation value (0.9138) and minimum mean absolute error (1.2954) and Root mean square error value (1.9672). Sensitivity analysis proves that steel fibre is the significant parameter among other parameters to predict the flexural strength of concrete mix. According to the shape of the fibre, the mixed type performs better for this data than the hooked shape of the steel fibre, which has a higher CC of 0.9649, which shows that the shape of fibers do effect the flexural strength of the concrete. However, the intricacy of the mixed fibres needs further investigations. For future mixes, the most favorable range for the increase in flexural strength of concrete mix found to be (1-3)%.

본 연구의 목적은 고강도 및 일반강도 영역의 물-결합재 비에 대해 시멘트계열 재료의 점도를 감소시키기는 것에 대한 정보를 제공하는 것이다. 시멘트 계열 재료의 유동성을 결정하는 것은 물-결합재 비 및 치환재료와 감수제가 있다. 이를 레올로지적으로 보았을 때 물-결합재 비가 낮은 경우 항복치와 점도를 낮추며 감수제의 경우 항복치 저감에 영향을 주지만 점도 저하에는 한계가 있다. 따라서 이 연구에서는 시멘트 계열 재료의 점도를 낮추기 위해 물-결합재 비에 따른 폐석회석 치환에 대한 점도 저하 가능성을 분석하였다. 실험 결과, 폐석회석을 치환하였을 경우 점도 저하의 효과가 있었으며 이는 시멘트 계열 재료의 점도 제어에 유의미한 결과를 주는 것으로 판단되었다. 따라서 본 연구의 결과는 시멘트 계열 재료의 점도를 낮추는 방안으로써 분체 치환에 의한 방안의 기초적인 자료가 될 것으로 생각된다.

This paper investigates the effect of recycled glass powder (RGP) on flowing properties of self-compacting mortars (SCMs) containing different ratios of fillers and superplasticizer dosages. Fly ash (FA), nano-silica (NS), micro-silica (MS), metakaolin (MK) and rice husk ash (RHA) are used as fillers and their synergistic effect with RFP is studied. The effects of fillers and high-range water reducer (HRWR) on flowing ability of mortars are primarily determined by slump flow and V-funnel flow time tests. The results showed that for composites with a higher RGP content, the mortar flowing ability increased but tended to decrease when the composites containing 10% MK or 5% RHA. However, the flowing ability of samples incorporating 5% RGP and 10% SF or 25% FA showed an opposite result that their slump flow spread decreased and then increased with increasing RGP content. For specimens with 3% NS, the influence of RGP content on flowing properties was not significant. Except RHA and MS, the fillers studied in this paper could reduce the dosage of HRWR required for achieving the same followability. Also, the mixture parameters were determined and indicated that the flowability of mixtures was also affected by the content of sand and specific surface area of cement materials. It is believed that excess fine particles provided ball-bearing effect, which could facilitate the movement of coarse particles and alleviate the interlocking action among particles. Also, it can be concluded that using fillers in conjunction with RGP as cementitious materials can reduce the material costs of SCM significantly.

라텍스개질 콘크리트는 라텍스의 첨가로 인하여 콘크리트의 내구성을 개선하는 것으로 알려져 있으며, 투수저항성이 크게 향상되는 것으로 연구되었다. 본 연구에서는 SBR 라텍스 혼입에 따른 콘크리트 내부 공극 구조의 변화를 연구하고자 화상분석법을 이용하여 라텍스개질 콘크리트의 W/C비, 라텍스 함량, 시멘트 종류에 변화를 주어 간격계수, 경화 후 공기량, 공극 직경에 따른 공극 분포 및 공극 구조 상태 분석 등을 파악하였다. 또한, 라텍스 첨가에 따른 내부 공극 구조 특성과 투수저항성과의 상관성을 비교하였다. 라텍스개질 콘크리트는 내부 공극 분석 결과, 동일 물-시멘트비 조건에서 AE감수제를 사용한 OPC에 비해 더 우수한 연행공극 효과가 있는 것으로 분석되었다. 초속경시멘트는 $100{\mu}m$ 미만의 연행공극의 수가 4배 이상 증가하였다. 조강 시멘트는 SBR 라텍스로 인하여 $50{\sim}500{\mu}m$ 범위의 미세 연행 공기량이 약 7배 이상 증가되는 현상을 나타내었다. 그러나 투수성에 있어서는 낮은 간격계수에도 불구하고 높은 투수저항 특성을 나타내었다. 내구성에 있어서 라텍스개질 콘크리트에서는 공극 구조의 영향보다는 라텍스 폴리머 필름에 의한 영향이 더 큰 것으로 판단되었다.
