Environment-friendly materials are increasingly used as building construction materials nowadays, and the market share of those is growing. Accordingly, the research and developments in terms of environmental value are progressing steadily now. The main characteristics of environmental products are far-infrared radiation, negative-ion emission, electromagnetic wave shielding, and antimicrobial property. These products are often used in mortar and as spray on the finishing material. Nevertheless, there are hardly any research on the functional properties of concrete, the main material in construction field. Thus, we evaluated such basic properties of concrete as slump, compressive strength and air content while using such functional materials as sericite, wood-pattern sandstone, carbon black and nano-metric silver solution to focus on their functional properties like far-infrared radiation, negative ion emission, electro magnetic wave shielding, and antimicrobial activity in this research. The results indicated that the most useful material in the functional materials was carbon black. Sericite and nano-metric silver solution had a little effect on the functional property. Moreover, although wood-pattern sandstone had very high functional property, it exhibited too low compressive strength to be applied, to concrete as a factory product. Antimicrobial property of nano-metric silver solution in the concrete was not clear demonstrated, but if these specimens were to be aged in $CO_2$ gas for a long time, it might be apparent.

As a brittle and heterogeneous material, concrete behaves differently under different stress conditions and its bulk strength is loading rate dependent. To a large extent, the varying behavioural properties of concrete can be explained by the mechanical failure processes at a mesoscopic level. The development of a computational mesoscale model in a general finite element environment, as presented in the preceding companion paper (Part 1), makes it possible to investigate into the underlying mechanisms governing the bulk-scale behaviour of concrete under a variety of loading conditions and to characterise the variation in quantitative terms. In this paper, we first present a series of parametric studies on the behaviour of concrete material under quasi-static compression and tension conditions. The loading-face friction effect, the possible influences of the non-homogeneity within the mortar and ITZ phases, and the effect of randomness of coarse aggregates are examined. The mesoscale model is then applied to analyze the dynamic behaviour of concrete under high rate loading conditions. The potential contribution of the mesoscopic heterogeneity towards the generally recognized rate enhancement of the material compressive strength is discussed.

The setting time of alkali activated slag cement tends to be much faster than ordinary Portland cement, and its compressive strength had been higher from the 1 day but became lower than that of the cement on the 28 days. According to the results of the surface observation, weight loss, compressed strength, and erosion depth tests on the sulphuric acid solution. It has been drawn that alkali activated slag cement has a higher sulphate resistance than ordinary Portland cement, and in particular, the alkali activated slag cement added 5 wt% alumina cement has little deterioration on the sulphuric acid solution. The reason why the alkali activated slag cement has higher sulphate resistance than other hardened cement pastes is that it has no $Ca(OH)_2$ reactive to sulphate ion, and there is little $CaSO_4{\cdot}2H_2O$ production causing volume expansion, unlike other pastes. And it is supposed that $Al(OH)_3$ hydrates with high sulphate resistance, which is produced by adding the alumina cement increases the sulfate resistance.

Nine alkali-activated (AA) mortars were mixed and cured at water or air-dried conditions to explore the significance and limitation for the application of the combination of Ba and Ca ions as an alkali-activator. Ground granulated blast-furnace slag (GGBS) was used for source materials, and calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)₂) and barium hydroxide (Ba(OH)₂) were employed as alkali activators. Test results clearly showed that the water curing condition was more effective than the air-dried curing condition for the formation of the denser calcium silicate hydrate (C-S-H) gels that had a higher molar Si/Ca ratio, resulting in a higher strength development. At the same time, the introduction of Ba(OH)₂ led to the formation of 2CaO·Al₂O₃·SiO₂·8H₂O (C₂ASH₈) hydrates with higher molar Si/Al and Ca/Al ratios. Based on the test results, it can be concluded that the developed cementless mortars have highly effective performance and high potential as an eco-friendly sustainable building material.

본 연구의 목적은 고유동성이 부여된 일반강도 배합 콘크리트에 대하여 요변성을 부여하여 시공정밀도가 낮은 거푸집 틈새를 통해 누출될 수 있는 모르타르나 시멘트 페이스트의 양을 저감하는 것이다. 본 연구에서는 콘크리트에 요변성을 부여하기 위해 PVA와 붕사를 사용하였다. 이에 PVA와 붕사를 사용하는 방법에 대하여 각각의 수용액을 추가하고 치환하는 방법에 따라 요변성을 포함하는 콘크리트의 성능의 변화와 거푸집의 틈새를 모사한 누출 저감 성능을 평가하였다. 본 연구에서 진행된 실험의 조건에서는 PVA와 붕사를 추가하는 방법보다는 치환하는 방법이 추가적인 물의 사용을 억제하여 재료분리 저항성과 응결 지연에서 더 양호한 콘크리트 물성을 나타내었으며 요변성의 발현 및 거푸집 누출 방지에도 효과적인 것으로 나타났다. 특히, PVA 수용액 6%를 치환하였을 때 의미 있는 수준의 거푸집 누출 감소 효과를 얻을 수 있었다. 이를 통해 PVA와 붕사를 이용하여 콘크리트 배합에 대해 요변성을 부여할 수 있다고 판단하였다. 또한 거푸집의 시공정밀도가 다소 낮은 경우에도 PVA와 붕사를 사용하여 콘크리트에 요변성을 부여함으로써 시공 품질을 확보할 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

본 연구에서는 에코 프리캐스트 콘크리트 제품 개발을 위한 기초 연구로서 박테리아를 흡착한 팽창질석 기반의 친생태 모르타르를 개발하였으며, 압축강도 발현 및 생태환경영향 평가를 실시하였다. 경화된 모르타르의 극건조 환경 및 강알칼리성 환경에서 생장이 가능하며, 식물생장성 증대 효과를 갖는 Bacillus alcalophilus와 Rhodoblastus acidophilus를 분리 및 배양하였다. 배양이 완료된 박테리아는 생장처 제공을 위한 재료로서 선택된 팽창질석에 흡착하였으며, 이를 배합시 골재의 체적 대비 혼입하여 모르타르를 제작하였다. 평가 결과 친생태 모르타르는 COD 및 T-N 수질정화능력 및 식물생장증대에 효과를 보였다. 모르타르의 압축강도 발현 및 비용적 측면을 고려했을 때, 박테리아 기반 팽창질석의 최적 치환율은 최대 10% 이하가 추천될 수 있었다.

This paper reports new repair and strengthening mathod using improved material. This mathod have two type according to covering thickness of reinforcement. One type is near surface mounted FRP rod. Anther type is overay. Fiber Reinforced Plastic (FRP) materials has become very popular in recent years. FRP material used to rehabilitate many types of structures with superior characteristics such as high strength and stiffness and corrosion resistance. This strengthening mathod were used FRP rod which have better bond and shear strangth than current FRP rod. Development of FRP rod due to 3-D winding system. In addition, Ductile hybrid FRP has a certain plastic deformation and an elongation greater than 3% at maximum load is usually required for steel reinforcement in concrete structures. Moerover this mathod can be effective repair of base concrete by sprayed polymer mortar.

This study aims to manufacture non-sintering cement(NSC) by adding phosphogypsum(PG) and waste lime(WL) to granulated blast furnace slag(GBFS) as sulfate and alkali activators. This study also investigates the basic physical properties and hydration reaction of NSC, and evaluates its reusing possibility as construction material. Results obtained from this study have shown that GBFS was affected by $So_4^{2-}$ in waste PG and stimuli under wet condition, left slag components, created Ettringite and CSH gels, and eventually started being hydrated. These hydrated creations formed dense structures like CSH based on Ettringite and contributed in allowing the mortar to reveal high strength.

현지암반 조건 중에서 자연상태 암석블록의 크기와 절리방향은 다른 요인들에 비해 상대적으로 암석파쇄도에 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 최근의 연구에서 확인되었다. 이러한 최근의 연구결과를 검증하기 위해 이 연구에서는 고강도 시멘트 몰탈 재료의 축소 모형을 이용한 발파실험을 실시하였다. 실험 결과 절리간격이 같을 때 절리방향에 따라 암석의 파쇄도가 달라지며, 절리간격에 따라 파쇄도에 차이를 보이는 등 현장조사에서 얻어진 것과 같은 결과를 얻었다.

Three reinforced concrete shear wall and infilled shear wall using retrofitting system were constructed and tested under both vertical and cyclic loadings, Experimental programs were carried out to evaluate and improve the seismic performance of such test specimens, such as the hysteretic behavior, the maximum horizontal strength, crack propagation, and ductility etc. under load reversals. All the specimens were modeled in one-third scale size. For specimens(RWAHC, RWXHC) designed by the improving of seismic performance using the high ductile fiber composite mortar, anchoring, and advanced detailing system for the reinforced concrete shear wall load-carrying capacities were increased $1.1{\sim}1.22$ times in comparison with the standard specimen(SRW).
