The consequence of sulfate attack on geopolymer concrete, made from an alkali activated natural pozzolan (AANP) has been studied in this paper. Changes in the compressive strength, expansion and capillary water absorption of specimens have been investigated combined with phases determination by means of X-ray diffraction. At the end of present investigation which was to evaluate the performance of natural alumina silica based geopolymer concrete in sodium and magnesium sulfate solution, the loss of compressive strength and percentage of expansion of AANP concrete was recorded up to 19.4 % and 0.074, respectively.

본 연구의 목적은 포졸란의 항생제 내성균과 장내 유해 미생물 억제에 관한 체외배양 항균 활성을 조사하는 것이었다. 대조군 (CON, 포졸란 무첨가 대조군)과 DP0.3 (증류수와 포졸란 분말 0.3%를 혼합하여 제조한 배지군), DP0.5 (증류수와 포졸란 분말 0.5%를 혼합하여 제조한 배지군), PE (포졸란 분말 추출물을 이용하여 제조한 배지군)으로 구분하였다. Lacctobacillus casei 균수는 CON과 비교할 때 DP0.3 처리군에서 유의하게 높았으나 (P<0.05) 기타 처리구 사이의 차이는 없었다. Clostridium butyricum, E. coli, Salmonella typhimurium 균수는 CON과 비교할 때 포졸란 처리구가 유의하게 낮았다 (P<0.05). Clostridium butyricum, Salmonella typhimurium 균수는 DP0.3, DP0.5와 PE 사이, E. coli 균수는 DP0.5와 PE 사이의 유의차가 있었다 (P<0.05). MRSA와 VRE의 균수는 CON과 비교할 때 포졸란 처리구가 유의하게 낮았다 (P<0.05). MRSA 균수는 DP0.5와 DP0.3, PE 사이의 차이가 있었고, VRE 균수는 PE> DP0.3> DP0.5> CON 처리구 순서로 유의하게 높았다(P<0.05). 이와 같은 결과를 통해 포졸란의 항생제 내성균 및 장내 유해 미생물에 대한 항균활성이 확인됨에 따라 가축용 천연항균제, 보조사료 규산염제로써의 활용이 가능할 것으로 보인다.

Stabilization of clayey soil has been studied from past to present by mixing different additives to the soil to increase its strength and durability. In recent years, there has been an increasing interest in stabilization of soils with natural pozzolans. Despite this, very few studies have investigated the impact of pozzolanic additives under freeze-thaw cycling. This paper presents the results of an experimental research study on the durability behavior of clayey soils treated with lime and perlite. For this purpose, soil was stabilized with 6% lime content by weight of dry soil (optimum lime ratio of the the soil), perlite was mixed with it in 0%, 5%, 10%, 20%, 25% and 30% proportions. Test specimens were compacted in the laboratory and cured for 7, 28 and 84 days, after which they were tested for unconfined compression tests. In addition to this, they were subjected to 12 closed system freeze-thaw cycles after curing for 28 days. The results show that the addition of perlite as a pozzolanic additive to lime stabilized soil improves the strength and durability. Unconfined compressive strength increases with increased perlite content. The findings indicate that using natural pozzolan which is cheaper than lime, has positive effect in strength and durability of soils and can result cost reduction of stabilization.

After mixing the pozzolan-based powder and water repellent with porosity into the cement mortar, microanalysis and measurement of the water repellent contact angle confirmed that the NZS specimen using natural zeolite had the highest contact angle. The specific surface area is increased due to the porosity of natural zeolite, so the adhesion of silane-siloxane is relatively better than that of FA, and it is judged to have a uniform distribution inside the mortar.

Reusing building materials and concrete of old buildings can be a promising strategy for sustained development. In buildings, the performance of materials under elevated temperatures is of particular interest for determining fire resistance. In this study, the effect of pozzolan and aggregate type on properties of concrete exposed to fire was investigated. In doing so, nanosilica with cement-replacement levels of 0, 2, and 4% as well as silica fume and ultrafine fly ash with cement-replacement levels of 0, 7.5, and 15% were used to study effect of pozzolan type, and recycled refractory brick (RRB) fine aggregate replacing natural fine aggregate by 0 and 100% was utilized to explore effect of aggregate type. A total of 126 cubic concrete specimens were manufactured and then investigated in terms of compressive strength, ultrasonic pulse velocity, and weight loss at $23^{\circ}C$ and immediately after exposure to 400 and $800^{\circ}C$. Results show that replacing 100% of natural fine aggregate with recycled refectory brick fine aggregate in the concretes exposed to heat was desirable, in that it led to a mean compressive strength increase of above 25% at $800^{\circ}C$. In general, among the pozzolans used here, silica fume demonstrated the best performance in terms of retaining the compressive strength of heated concretes. The higher replacement level of silica fume and ultrafine fly ash pozzolans in the mixes containing RRB fine aggregate led to a greater weight loss rate, while the higher replacement level of nanosilica reduced the weight loss rate.

본 연구에서는 금속염계 무기물인 발수분말과 포졸란계 재료인 천연제올라이트 분말을 사용하여 시멘트 모르타르에 혼입하고 물리적 특성 및 수분에 대한 저항성을 확인하였다. 무기물 금속염계 발수분말을 단독으로 혼입한 시험체에 비해서 천연제올라이트를 동시에 사용한 시험체에서 수분침투실험 및 그에 수반하는 염화물 침투시험에서 높은 저항성을 갖는 것을 확인 할 수 있었다. 금속염계 발수분말을 사용하는 경우 불용성으로 인하여 수분침투저항성이 내부에서 고르게 분산되지 못하고 표면에 국한되었으며 천연제올라이트와 동시에 사용하는 경우 포졸란 반응으로 인해 수화초기의 응결시간이 빠르고 또한 천연제올라이트의 다공성 내부에 발수분말이 부착되어 내부에서도 수분저항성이 일부 생성된 것으로 판단된다.

The objective of this study was to investigate the strength characteristics of mortar with lime composites using natural fiber or superplasticizer. Lime composites consist of lime and pozzolan materials. Flow according to adding natural fiber decreased and mortar proportion added cellulose fiber showed a higher strength characterisitics than other natural fiber. but compressive and shear strength in use of superplasticizer is not effective largely. In addition, lime composites, as an environment-friendly material, may help reduse $CO_2$, and save the energy. also this materials can be recycled in environmental aspects. afterwards, further in-depth studies will be necessary for cracks and durability with respect to its wide different applications, in applying it as a construction material.

본 연구에서는 천연재료인 황토의 활용성을 넓히기 위해, 황토를 혼화재로 사용한 경우 혼화재 종류 및 황토 대체율에 따른 콘크리트의 기초물성을 비교.검토하였다. 연구 결과, 황토를 사용할 경우 유동성은 다소 저하하는 것으로 나타났으며, 혼화재를 대체하지 않은 콘크리트에 비해 공기량도 다소 저하하는 것으로 나타나, 고성능 감수제의 선택성 및 AE제의 사용에 의한 공기량 보정이 필요할 것으로 판단된다. 황토와 시멘트간의 포졸란반응에 의한 강도발현성상을 검토한 결과, 황토를 콘크리트용 혼화재로서 사용하기 위해서는 가열에 의한 활성화공정이 필요한 것으로 나타났으며, 활성황토를 콘크리트용 혼화재료로 사용할 경우 활발한 포졸란반응에 의해 압축 강도 발현이 플레인콘크리트보다 높게 나타나, 건설 신재료로서의 황토의 개발이 가능할 것으로 사료된다. 활성황토의 대체율에 따른 콘크리트의 특성은 대체율이 증가할수록 강도발현수준이 높게 나타났으나, 대체율 30%의 경우 무혼입에 비해 강도가 저하하는 것으로 나타나, 활성황토의 적정 대체율에 대한 보다 심도 있는 연구가 필요할 것으로 사료되며, 본 연구의 범위에서 활성황토의 적정 대체율의 범위는 10~20%내외에 존재할 것으로 사료된다.

Recycling of waste concrete will contribute not only to the solution of a growing waste disposal problem, also help to conserve natural resources of aggregate and to secure future supply of reasonably priced aggregates for building construction purpose within large urban areas. But there recycled aggregates are more porous and less resistant to mechanical actions. In comparison with natural aggrete concrete, recycled aggregate concrete shows reductions in strength and other engineering properties. And it may also be less durable due to increase in porosity and permeability. Economical ways of improving the quality of recycled aggregate concrete are: (1)by reducing the water-cement ratio; (2)by reducing the water content using a superplasticizer without affecting the workability; (3)addition of pozzolan, such as fly ash; and (4)blending of recycled aggregate with the natural aggretes.

Although applying self-consolidating concrete (SCC) in many modern structures is an inevitable fact, the high consumption of cement in its mixing designs has led to increased production costs and adverse environmental effects. In order to find economically viable sources with environmentally friendly features, natural pozzolan pumice and blast furnace slag in 10-50% of replacement binary designs have been investigated for experiments on the properties of fresh concrete, mechanical properties, and durability. As a natural pozzolan, pumice does not require advanced equipment to prepare for consumption and only needs to be powdered. Pumice has been the main focus of this research because of simple preparation. Also to validate the results, in addition to the control specimens of each design, fly ash as a known powder has been evaluated. Moreover, ternary mixes of pumice and silica fume were investigated to enhance the obtained results of binary mixes. It was concluded that pumice and slag powders indicated favorable performance in the high percentage of replacement.
