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 fresh and hardened mortar for floor using expansion agent are described under various grain shape, grading and chloride contents of aggregates. According to experimental results, as fineness modulous increase, fluidity show high it also shows high with cement mortar using riversand and continuous distribution of grading. We can not detect any difference in fluidity according to chloride contents. Air content shows to be decreased with crushed stone having large fineness modulous and continuous distribute on of grading. chloride content does not influence on the air content. compressive strength tends to increase when crushed sand with continuous distribution of grading is used and chloride contents decreases.

The purpose of this study is to develope of alternative adimixture for manufacture of PHC pile(compressive strength above 800kg/$\textrm{cm}^2$). For the investigation, properties of alternative admixture admixed with II-anhydrite and pozollanic fine powders(e.q., Fly-ash, Silica-Fume), the fluidity and viscosity in the cement pastes, the fluidity and compressive strength in mortars at steam curing condition, were respectively examined. Also, properties of compressive strength of concretes with exiting admixture(specimen name SM) and alterantive admixture(specimen name AP) for PHC pile, at steam and standard curing condition, were compared each other. As a result of this experimental study, it was found that specimens admixed with II-anhydrite and pozollanic fine powders had an increase on the fluidity of cement paste and mortar, and compressive strength of mortar and concrete was as good as concrete with SM.

The purpose of this study reutilization of waste fine tailing (FT) as admixture for cement and concrete. Various admixtures were made of Fine tailings and 2 Types of OPC, fly-ash and blast furnace slag. Cement mortars and concrete with FT are tested for fluidity and compressive strength. Also, the hydration reactivity of cement mortar with FT was examined by XRD and SEM morphology analysis. This work showed that the waste fine tailing could be effectively utilized as replacement materials of cement without any decrease in the strength if we can control the blaine of materials like cement, blast furnace slag and fly ash.

Epoxy-mortar composites have been wildly used as finishing and repairing materials in the construction because of their excellent properties. Conventional epoxy-mortars and concretes have an inferior applicability and cost performance ratio due to the two component mixing of the epoxy resin and hardener. In this study, we examined the engineering effect of compressive strength and flexible strength according to the various epoxy-hardener in underwater and humidity environment, and evaluated the hardener types and physical effect of Epoxy mortar using cement binder in underwater and air condition. In this study, it was clarified that the engineering properties of repairing epoxy-motars were effected by the type of hardener.

Cement is the most widely used but generates a lot of CO₂, so we need a material to replace it. Using industrial by-products such as Silica Fume(SF), Blast furnace Slag(BS) and Fly Ash(FA) bring some advantages including CO₂ reduction and resource recycling. However, there is a limit to improve performance when using only one material. Therefore, the synergy effects of No cement binary mortar and ternary mortar were analyzed and compared. As a result, No cement ternary mortar had the strength higher than binary mortar. among ternary mortars, the specimen mixed 50% of BS had the highest strength. However, when SF was mixed by 20%, the flowability reduces. so 10% of SF, 40% of FA and 50% of BS is considered as the optimal mixing ratio.

This study is to find out the tensile strength and bonding strength of VAE powder as a preliminary study for the application of the powder to the high strength concrete. The result of the study showed that the compressive strength decreases when more polymers is put into the concrete. On the other hand, it showed that the tensile strength and the bonding strength get improved when the more polymers are put into the concrete. Especially in case of the mixture for high strength concrete, it was found out that more strength is produced than the ordinary concrete.

We study the kinetics of absorption of water in Portland cement concretes added with 60, 70 and 80% of granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS) cured in water and at open air and preheated at 50 and $100^{\circ}C$. A mathematical model is presented that allows describing the process not only in early ages where the capillary sorption is predominant but also for later and long times where the diffusive processes through the finer and gel pores are considered. The fitting of the model by computerized methods enables us to determine the parameters that characterize the process: i.e., the sorptivity coefficient (S) and diffusion coefficient (D). This allows the description of the process for all times and offers the possibility to know the contributions of both, the diffusive and capillary processes. The results show the influence of the curing regime and the preheating temperature on the behavior of GGBS mortars.

In this paper, the mechanical strength of different lightweight mortars made with 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, 65, 70, 75, 80, 85, 90, 95 and 100 percentage of scoria instead of sand and 0.55 water-cement ratio and 350 $kg/m^3$ cement content is investigated. The experimental result showed 7.9%, 16.7% and 49% decrease in compressive strength, tensile strength and mortar density, respectively, by using 100% scoria instead of sand in the mortar. The normalized compressive and tensile strength data are applied for artificial neural network (ANN) generation using generalized regression neural network (GRNN). Totally, 90 experimental data were selected randomly and applied to find the best network with minimum mean square error (MSE) and maximum correlation of determination. The created GRNN with 2 input layers, 2 output layers and a network spread of 0.1 had minimum MSE close to 0 and maximum correlation of determination close to 1.

The discharge of fly ash that is produced by coal-fired electric power plants is rapidly increasing in Korea. The utilization of fly ash in the raw materials would contribute to the elimination of an environmental problem and to the development of new high-performance materials. So it is needed to study the binder obtained by chemically activation of pozzolanic materials by means of a substitute for the exiting cement. This paper concentrated on the strength development according to the kind of chemical activators, the curing temperature, the heat curing time. Also Scanning electron microscopy and X-Ray diffraction analysis show what the reaction products of the alkali activated fly ash are.
