본 연구는 국내 레디믹스트 콘크리트 제조 시 57골재(5~25mm)의 경우 7번 입자(5~13mm)가 갭그레이딩되어 문제시 되는 것을 13mm 이하 RCA로 보충 해결하고자 하는 것이다. 실험 결과, 기존 레디믹스트 콘크리트용 57골재에 13mm 이하 RCA를 30%정도 혼합하여 30MPa급 콘크리트에 사용할 경우 연속입도 구현에 따른 유동성의 향상, 배합상 단위수량과 잔골재율의 감소가 가능해 압축강도를 향상시키며 건조수축을 저감시킬 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
This paper is to investigate experimentally the effect of substitution of recycled coarse aggregate(RCA) under 13mm on the engineering properties of the concrete using gap graded coarse aggregates. Concretes with 0.4 of water to cement ratio(W/C) were fabricated to achieve 30MPa of design strength with coarse aggregate over 13mm in size with the maximum size of 25mm. RCA was substituted for coarse aggregate over 13mm from 10% to 50% and crushed coarse aggregate under 13mm was also substituted for coarse aggregate over 13mm from 20% to 40%, respectively. Test results indicated that the replacement of RCA up to 20% resulted in an increase of fluidity and strength. It also caused a decrease in the drying shrinkage due to dense packing effect by achieving continuous grading of mixed aggregates. For practical application of RCA, when properly substituted, the use of RCA enabled the concrete to reduce water contents and sand to aggregate ratio in mixing design stage of the concrete. And, it can also enhance the compressive strength of the concrete.
