About the Lab
Professor Sukhoon Pyo's research lab specializes in sustainable high-performance concrete, focusing on the development of eco-friendly construction materials through the integration of industrial by-products such as steelmaking slag, fly ash, and granulated blast-furnace slag. The lab investigates the mechanical, rheological, and environmental performance of ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) and pervious concrete, with an emphasis on reducing cement content and CO₂ emissions. Key research directions include the use of supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs), innovative mix designs, and advanced characterization techniques to enhance durability, strength, and sustainability in concrete applications.

15Although ultra high-performance concrete (UHPC) has great performance in strength and durability, it has a disadvantage in the environmental aspect; it contains a large amount of cement that is responsible for a high amount of CO2 emissions from UHPC. Supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs), industrial by-products or naturally occurring materials can help relieve the environmental burden by reducing the amount of cement in UHPC. This paper reviews the effect of SCMs on the properties of UHPC
Ultra high performance concrete (UHPC) is an emerging construction material with its superior mechanical properties. However, UHPC requires high amount of energy intensive materials including cement, which could cause unfavorable environmental impact compared to normal concrete. Various eco-friendly UHPC mix designs are proposed by incorporating industrial slags and limestone powder in order to decrease environmental overload and enhance flowability concurrently.
