Glass is often recycled. In order to recycle, glass is crushed and ground. During this process, glass powder is generated. Most of this scrap glass powder is disposed in landfills. The glass powder, consisting of 73% SiO$_2$ and 16% Al$_2$O$_3$, is richer in components necessary for polymerization than fly ash. In this study, the fluidity and compressive strength of cement zero mortar were investigated, where cement zero mortar was prepared by mixing 5$\sim$15% of glass powder with 100% fly ash mortar. Result of flow test concluded that workability was not affected by adding the powder. After aging for 28 days, the compressive strength increased by approximately 6% with 5% addition of scrap glass powder. With 10% addition, the strength remained the same. In case of 15% addition, the compressive strength decreased by approximately 6%. To summarize the results, 5$\sim$10% addition of scrap glass powder is considered to be most appropriate.

In this study, industrial by-products including blast furnace slag, incineration ash and waste gypsum were used with recycled fine aggregates to manufacture the zero-cement mortar. The replacement ratio of anhydrite gypsum was fixed as 0, 10%, 20% the replacement ratio fo WA1 was fixed as 0.5% and 1.0%, respectively. It could be identified that when the replacement of gypsum was 20% and WA1 of 1.0%, the strength could be in the range of normal strength.

This study is to investigate experimentally the strength properties of mortar using recycled fine aggregates(RA) and blast furnace slag powder(BS) without cement according to type of fine aggregate. In the results of the study, compressive strength of RA was the highest. It can be considered that the results are due to the reaction of the non-hydration cement in RA to the latent hydraulicity reaction of the BS.

In this research, we evaluate the performance for preventing frost damage at early age of mortar using variable cement and self-heating binder. Purpose of final research is preventing freezing and thawing by making the compressive strength 5MPa in 3days below zero temperature without heat curing. We compare the compressive strength of mortar and concrete using variable cements and self-heating binder in low temperature.

In this study, industrial by-products including blast furnace slag, incineration ash and waste gypsum were used with recycled fine aggregates to manufacture the zero-cement mortar.The replacement ratio of dihydrate gypsum and anhydrite gypsum was fixed as 0 and 10%, the replacement ratio fo WA1 was fixed as 0.5% and 1.0%, respectively. It could be identified that when the replacement of gypsum was 10% and WA1 of 1.0%, the strength could be in the range of normal strength.

Portland cement production-1.5billion tonnes yearly worldwide-contributes substantially to global atmospheric pollution($\sim$7% of total of CO$_2$ emissions). Attempts to increase the utilization of fly ash, a by-products from thermal power plant to partially replace the cement in concrete are gathering momentum. But most of fly ash is currently dumped in landfills, thus creating a threat to the environment. Therefore, In this study, influence of curing temperature(30, 60, 90$^{\circ}$C) on the strength of properties fly ash based cement ZERO mortar was investigate, measured a weight change and pH change according to each care of curing temperature. The test results that a curing at 90$^{\circ}$C is appropriate in case of the high strength concrete is required in the early-age of the curing and 60$^{\circ}$C is efficient for the case of requiring high strength at age 28 days. Furthermore pH variation and value of compressive strength are judged to correlate but change of weight is not the case.

Nowadays, all the world face to the global warming problems due to the emission of $CO_2$. From the previous studies, recycled aggregates were used as an alkali activator in blast furnace slag to achieve zero-cement concrete, and favorable results of obtaining strength were achieved. In this study, gypsum and incineration waste ash were used as the additional alkali activation and effects of the gypsum and incineration waste ash to enhance the performance of the mortar were tested. Results showed that although the replacement ratio of 0.5% of incineration waste ash and 20% of anhydrous gypsum resulted in the low of mortar at the early age, while it improved the later strength and achieved the similar strength to that of conventional mortar (at 91 days).

This study analyzed the effects of changes in mixing factors of zero-cement mortar that only used recycled fine aggregates and fly-ash on quality of mortar, and the results are as follows. To describe the property of fresh mortar, as mix proportion and flow of mortar increased, W/B was highly selected and air content decreased. To describe compressive strength according to age as the property of hardened mortar, it was revealed that the strength did not strength until the 14 day, but strength of about 1 ~ 2 MPa strength during the 14 day through 28 day, and almost similar strength after 28 day. Also, compressive strength according to changes in mix proportion, flow and B/W was generally similar. Summarizing the above experimental results, in case of mortar that used recycled fine aggregates and fly-ash, it secured the strength for the use of landfill even though not for structural use. Especially, poor mix proved to be more useful than rich mix.

Portland cement production-1.5billion tonnes yearly worldwide-contributes substantially to global atmospheric pollution(7% of total of $CO_2$ emissions). Attempts to increase the utilization of fly ash, by-products from thermal power plant to partially replace the cement in concrete are gathering momentum. But most of fly ash is currently dumped in landfills, thus creating a threat to the environment. Many researches on alkali-activated concrete that does not need the presence of cement as a binder have been carried out recently. Instead, the sources of material such as fly ash, that are rich in Silicon(Si) and Aluminium(Al), are activated by alkaline liquids to produce the binder. Hence concrete with no cement is effect reduction of $CO_2$ gas. In this study, we investigated the influence of the compressive strength of mortar on alkaline activator and curing condition in oder to develop cementless fly ash based alkali-activated concrete. In view of the results, we found out that it was possible for us to make alkali-activated mortar with 70MPa at the age of 28days by using alkaline activator manufactured as 1:1 the mass ratio of 9M NaOH and sodium silicate and applying the atmospheric curing after high temperature at $60^{\circ}C$ for 48hours.
