The intention of this study is to reduce the drying shrinkage of the cement mortar using the shrinkage reducing agent and the inorganic admixture. In this experiment the drying shrinkage strain, rate of weight loss and strength have been measured depending on age using the motar specimen. The result show that the usage of shrinkage reducing agent up to 1.5% will give an effect of approximately 30% without loss of strength, and the efficiency will increase together with the inorganic admixture. Also, as the amount of shrinkage reducing agent increases, the rate of weight loss increases. Drying shrinkage reduces at the same rate of weight loss.

This study investigated four electric field configurations of two-dimensional accelerate lithium migration technique (ALMT), including line-to-line, plane-to-line, contour-to-line and plane-to-plane, and analyzed the ion migration behavior and efficiency. It was found that the free ion distribution diagram and voltage distribution diagram were similar, and ions migrated in the power line direction. The electrode modules were used for the mortar specimen with w/c ratio of 0.5. The effectively processed areas accounted for 14.1%, 39.0%, 49.4% and 51.4% of total area respectively on Day 28. Larger electrode area was more advantageous to ion migration. In addition, it was proved that the two-dimensional electric field could be divided into different equifield line active regions, and regarded as affected by one-dimensional electric field, and the ion migration results in various equifield line active regions were predicted by using the duration analysis method based on the theoretical model of ion migration obtained from one-dimensional test.

In this study, the shielding effectiveness of the Zn-Al arc thermal metal film coated cement-mortar mixed with copper powder by reflection, absorption, multi-reflection loss in 2.25~2.65 GHz was reviewed. By enhancing the mixing ratio of copper powder, the shielding effectiveness by absorption and multi-reflection loss was increased, but shielding rate(%) based on 80 dB showed below 20%. The Zn-Al arc thermal metal film coated on specimen, the shielding rate increased 3.5 times by reflection loss.

In the case of B / a 1: 3, the intensity when the substitution rate increased to 15% showed a tendency to decrease, but it turned out that the strength increased at the substitution rate of 20%. In the case of B / a 1: 4 and 1: 5, it was found that when the substitution rate at the substitution rate of 10% was the highest and the substitution rate increased further, the strength was reduced. However, since the test body does not exist at the age of 3 days and the age of 7 days at the substitution rate of 0%, there is no specimen, so blast furnace slag binder substitution for increasing strength of refractory mortar is judged to be meaningless.

Oyster shell is produce by shucking process in oyster farming in southern coast of Korea. In average, about 6.7kg of oyster shell is produced as an industrial waste for 1kg of oyster flesh, and even only in last year, it is estimated that about 150,000 ton of oyster shell is produced. Oyster shell is light weighted and the strength characteristic of it is similar to send. So we produced mortar test piece using grounded oyster shell according to aggregate and reviewed strength characteristic. Therefore, in this study, the strength characteristics of the test specimen are evaluated by artificially altering fineness modulus and curing method by processing oyster shells.

In recent years, due to the occurrence of traffic accidents caused by black ice in winter, the number of personal injuries is increasing rapidly. Black ice is a phenomenon that occurs like a thin layer of ice on the road surface. Accordingly, many developments of heat-generating concrete are being developed to remove ice by increasing the temperature by supplying constant electricity to places where black ice is likely to occur. These heating elements are being developed by mixing a conductive material represented by carbon nanotubes with concrete. However, research up to now has been focused on efficient temperature rise and derivation of the optimum mixing ratio, and the evaluation of maintaining heat generation performance during continuous repetition is insufficient. Therefore, in this study, a heating test specimen was manufactured and 50V power was repeatedly supplied to evaluate the heating characteristics.

In this study, the strength development characteristics of calcium silicate cement mixed mortar according to carbonation hardening conditions were evaluated. As a result of measuring the compressive strength, the strength increased according to the carbonation hardening time, and the strength increase rate was higher for the specimen with a CO₂ concentration of 20%.

This study evaluated the compressive strength after making mortar with low cement composition for carbon-neutral steam curing to respond to climate change. Blast furnace slag, fly ash, and ultra-high powder fly ash were used as substitutes for cement. The cement substitute was used at 40% of the mass of cement, and after steam curing, the compressive strength was measured on the 1st, 3rd, 7th and 28th days of age. As a result of the experiment, at the age of 1 day, the mixture using only cement showed the highest strength, but from the 3rd day, the specimen using ultra-high powder showed a high strength development rate, followed by blast furnace slag and fly ash.

This paper compares the load transfer efficiency between precast concrete pavement specimen and typical concrete pavement specimen by means of laboratory and field tests. An experimental method was developed to evaluate the load transfer efficiency of the dowel bars buried in the concrete pocket and grouted with cement mortar. The test results showed that the load transfer efficiency of the specimen for the dowel bars repaired with grout was equivalent to that of the control specimen. In addition, a series of FWD field tests were conducted on the precast pavement to evaluate the joint stiffness. The field test results revealed that the central deflection of the precast slab slightly increased but the load transfer efficiencies at the joints were almost the same as those in the typical concrete pavement slab.

This paper explores the photocatalytic sensitivity of cement mortar incorporated with recycled $TiO_2$ from waste water sludge. Basically, $TiO_2$ cluster sank down slowly to the bottom of cement mortar specimen before setting and hardening process. This leads the mismatch of $TiO_2$ concentration on the top and the bottom faces of a specimen. This poorly dispersed $TiO_2$-cement mortar naturally exhibits poor NOx removal efficiency especially on the top of cementitious structure. In architectural engineering application such as building or housing structures, one can simply filp over from the bottom so that more $TiO_2$ concentrated surface can be placed outward into the air. However, in highway pavement case, this could not be applicable due to in-situ installation of concrete pavement. Hence, the dispersion of $TiO_2$ cluster inside the cementitous material is getting important issue onto road construction application. To elaborate this issue, according to our results, silica fume, high-ranged water reducer, viscosity agent, blast furnace slag were not enhanced much of dispersion characteristics of $TiO_2$ cluster. The combination of foaming agent and accelerator of hardening with viscosity agent and small grain size of fine aggregate may help the dispersion of $TiO_2$ inside cementitious materials. Even though the enhanced dispersion were applied to the specimen, NOx removal efficiency doest not change much for the top surface of the specimen. This concurrently affected by the presence of tiny air voids and the dispersion of $TiO_2$ in that these voids could easily adsorbed NOx gas with the aid of large surface area.
