A high-performance reactive powder concrete (RPC) has been readied alongside river sand, with 1.25 mm particle size when under the condition of 80C steam curing. As a heat and sound insulation, expanded perlite aggregate (EPA) provides economic advantages in building. Concrete containing EPA is examined in terms of cement types (CEM II 32.5R and CEM I 42.5R), doses (0, 2%, 4% and 6%) as well as replacement rates in this research study. The compressive and density of concrete were used in the testing. At the end of the 28-day period, destructive and nondestructive tests were performed on cube specimens of 150 mm150 mm150 mm. The concrete density is not decreased with the addition of more perlite (from 45 to 60 percent), since the enlarged perlite has a very low barrier to crushing. To get a homogenous and fluid concrete mix, longer mixing times for all the mix components are necessary due to the higher amount of perlite. As a result, it is not suggested to use greater volumes of this aggregate in RPC. In the presence of de-icing salt, the lightweight RPC exhibits excellent freeze-thaw resistance (mass is less than 0.2 kg/m²). The addition of perlite strengthens the aggregate-matrix contact, but there is no apparent ITZ. An increased compressive strength was seen in concretes containing expanded perlite powder and steel fibers with good performance.

This study is to investigate the heating value and noxious gases generation such as CO, NO and $SO_2$ known as dangerous gas for human from specimen made of cement and lightweight aggregate. The most quanity of CO gas is generated in EPS(Expanded Poly Styrene), core of commercial sandwich panel. Although specimens mainly composed of cement discharged the relatively less CO gas than organic core such as EPS, specimens which SBR was added discharged the very much amount of CO gas similar to EPS and especially, specimens including foaming agent, gas foaming agent or redipersible powder of VA/VeoVa showed the good properties in the generation of CO gas. From the standpoint of the generation of NO and $SO_2$ gas, both the core of commercial sandwich panel such as EPS, Glass wool and specimens made with polymer dispersion such as St/BA and SBR discharge the very much amount of NO and $SO_2$ gas in comparison of the other specimens. From this study, it was confirmed that organic materials such as core of commercial sandwich panel dischared much more noxious gas than specimens composed of cement and inorganic lightweight aggregate.

This study investigates the efficiency of ensemble machine learning for predicting the lightweight-aggregate concrete (LWC) characteristics. A stacking ensemble (STEN) approach was proposed to estimate the dry density (DD) and 28 days compressive strength (Fc-28) of LWC using two meta-models called random forest regressor (RFR) and extra tree regressor (ETR), and two novel ensemble models called STEN-RFR and STEN-ETR, were constructed. Four standalone machine learning models including artificial neural network, gradient boosting regression, K neighbor regression, and support vector regression were used to compare the performance of the proposed models. For this purpose, a sum of 140 LWC mixtures with 21 influencing parameters for producing LWC with a density less than 1000 kg/m³, were used. Based on the experimental results with multiple performance criteria, it can be concluded that the proposed STEN-ETR model can be used to estimate the DD and Fc-28 of LWC. Moreover, the STEN-ETR approach was found to be a significant technique in prediction DD and Fc-28 of LWC with minimal prediction error. In the validation phase, the accuracy of the proposed STEN-ETR model in predicting DD and Fc-28 was found to be 96.79% and 81.50%, respectively. In addition, the significance of cement, water-cement ratio, silica fume, and aggregate with expanded glass variables is efficient in modeling DD and Fc-28 of LWC.

골재는 콘크리트 체적의 약 70~85%를 차지하며, 콘크리트의 건조수축을 저감시켜주는 필수요소이다. 하지만 고층건축물 건설시 천연골재의 높은 하중으로 인해 문제점으로 작용한다. 고층 건물 건설시 하중이 커지게 되면 크리프가 발생하고 지반이 침식될 우려가 있으므로 기초를 크게 설계하고 암반층까지 깊게 내린 지정이나 파일등을 설치해야 하므로 공사비 및 재료비가 늘어 경제적 문제점이 있다. 콘크리트의 하중을 줄이기 위해 골재의 경량화를 진행하고 있다. 하지만 인공경량골재는 천연 골재에 비해 높은 흡수율과 낮은 부착강도로 인해 골재와 페이스트 사이의 계면에 영향을 주고 콘크리트 전체 강도에 영향을 미친다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 천연골재와 경량골재 종류별 계면을 파악하기 위해 비파괴 실험인 EIS측정 장비를 활용하여 전기저항을 측정하는 방식을 채택하였고, 경량골재 겉면을 고로슬래그 코팅을 통해 계면상태의 변화를 실험하였다. 실험결과, 골재 종류별 및 코팅유무에 따른 압축강도의 차이를 보였고, 경량골재 종류별 임피던스 값과 위상각의 차이를 보였다.

지오폴리머는 메타카올린 혹은 석탄재와 같은 알루미노실리케이트 원료를 알칼리 활성화제와 반응시켜 제조된 비정질 무기 폴리머로서 포틀랜드 시멘트보다 우수한 내열성을 보인다. 지오폴리머의 고온 수축률은 $600^{\circ}C$까지는 0.5 %이하 ~ 3 %정도이며 용융되기 전까지 총 수축률은 5 ~ 7 %정도이다. 본 연구는 Si/Al비 1.5인 지오폴리머 페이스트에 탄소 나노 섬유, 탄화규소, 파이렉스 유리, 질석 및 ISO 표준사를 첨가하여 지오폴리머의 압축강도와 고온 수축에 미치는 효과를 알아보았다. 탄소 나노 섬유, 탄화규소, 파이렉스 유리와 질석이 첨가된 지오폴리머의 압축강도는 35 ~ 40 MPa범위로 유사하였다. ISO 표준사를 30 wt.% 첨가한 지오폴리머 모르타르의 평균 압축강도는 28 MPa로 가장 낮았다. ISO 표준사를 첨가하면 압축강도는 감소하였고 고온 수축률은 페이스트 수축률의 약 25 %까지 감소되었다. 이는 석영이 대부분인 잔골재 입자가 팽창하여 지오폴리머 겔 조직의 수축을 보상하였기 때문이다. 충전재의 종류와 관계없이 $900^{\circ}C$ 가열 후 지오폴리머 겔 조직은 소결현상에 의해 치밀해졌다.
