In this study, lightweight aggregates were developed to see the possible application as a structural uses. For the evaluation purpose, several testings were conducted to compare the physical characteristics between the controlled lightweight aggregates and other lightweight aggregates purchased from different sources. The tests included property changes of fresh concrete and strength characteristics of hardened concrete for both normal and high strength ranges. In addition, a experiment was performed to analyze the freezing and thawing resistance of new lightweight aggregate concrete against other lightweight aggregate concrete against other lightweight aggregate concretes with some experimental parameters such as lightweight aggregates, curing conditions, and water-cement ratio. The test showed that the new lightweight aggregate could be used structural components. Continuous study will be planned for future evaluations.

This study was performed to develop the lightweight polymer concrete using expanded clay and perlite to improve workability, durability and chemical resistance for bottom draining structure under severe condition. This paper was composed of two parts. One is to invest the physical and mechanical properties of lightweight polymer concrete using synthetic lightweight aggregate, the other is to the develop products for bottom draining structure. Physical and mechanical test for lightweight polymer concrete was performed unit weight, compressive and flexural strength, chemical resistance, accelerated weathering test, absorption ratio and optimum mix for lightweight polymer concrete was designed. Also, products for bottom draining structures by optimum mix of lightweight polymer concrete was made draining trench of small size.

Lately, minimize of the heat loss and fuel consumption when heating so that suggested ways to reduce carbon emissions as a measures to reduce for increase of carbon emission and find a way to apply highly insulated concrete as the measures. In this study, as a comparative experiments on heat conduction of concrete with lots of porous, thermal conductivity of concrete using foamed, polystyrene beads, lightweight aggregates, air-entraining agent and concrete using crushed stone measure and thermal conductivity of concrete with lots of porous compare and evaluate.

This paper was performed to evaluate the properties of no-coarse lightweight concrete using perlite and expanded polystyrene bead on fine aggregate. The results were shown that w/c and unit weight was affected by absorption ratio and unit weight of using aggregate itself. The compressive strength of no-coarse lightweight concrete was showed $187kgf/cm^2$ by using natural sand, $170kgf/cm^2$ by using perlite. Tensile and bending strength were showed the same tendency of compressive strength, but when expanded polystyrene bead concrete dose not have strength nearly. The pulse velocity and static modulus of elasticity of no-coarse lightweight concrete were smaller than that of normal cement concrete. And stress-strain curves were shown that was increased with increase of stress, and when the stress-strain curve using expanded polystyrene bead was repeated at short intervals increase and decrease irregularly.

In today's diversified society, it is hard to know which building style represents the architectural style of the time. The simplicity found in monolithic-style buildings forms a symmetrical point with fairly complex structure, and its value can be acknowledged. This study analyzes buildings made of insulating lightweight aggregate concrete in the early 21st century, defines the concept of monolithic expression, and examines how these characteristics are expressed in the space, forms, and structural methods in construction. Unlike a multi-layered exterior wall system, which features multiple layers composed of a variety of materials, the exterior walls built with insulating lightweight aggregate concrete comes in a lump form with a mold form that is tightly filled with concrete as a single material and is monolithic. This is attributed to the creation of spaces characterized by the homogeneity of inner and outer spaces with the use of the same material, continuity of the surface as solidity, spatial characteristics of the stereotomic construction, expression of materiality with the use of exposed concrete, and the contrast of the lump and the space. This not only reveals formal characteristics that expose a discourse about monolithic architecture in contemporary architecture but also provide an opportunity to extend the range of discussion to structures and materials and even to their effects on space.

This study explores manufacturing technology and basic properties of high strength cement composites at 2,000kg/㎥ of specific weight. It is suggested that lightweight-high strength cement composites can be produced by substituting silica sand in ulta-high performance concrete mixture with lightweight materials such as solid bubbles and lightweight fine aggregates. The 28-day compressive strengths of cement composites with solid bubbles were from 116MPa to 141MPa at below 2.0g/㎤ of unit density while the cement composites with lightweight aggregates possessed lower compressive strength and higher unit density. The specific weight calculated from mixture proportions did not have significant difference with unit density of hardened cement composites, indicating that unit density of hardened cement composites can be estimated from the specific weight in mixture proportions.

In this study, strain properties of high strength concrete using light weight aggregate which is widely used in recent years are evaluated. For these purpose, thermal strain, transient creep were measured in prestressed condition as 0, 20, 40% of specimen strength at target temperature with 60MPa specimens which was using normal and light weight aggregate. As a result, light weight aggregate is more advantageous for the control of strain than normal aggregate because of its low thermal expansion.

This study was a result of laboratory test to confirm the porperties of concrete containing the domestic artificial lightweight aggregate. The domestic artificial lightweight aggregate is made with bottom ash which waste material in the thermal power plant. In the experimental result air contents of fresh concrete was measured lower than other artificial lightweight aggregate. This air contents is important for retaining the resistance of freezing and thawing. Therefore air contents of concrete will be considered for retaining the resistance of freezing and thawing when manufacture the concrete containing the domestic artificial aggregate.

Recently, large and high-rise buildings are increasing, and accordingly, concrete weight reduction is required. Lightweight aggregate concrete can provide economic feasibility and large space, but safety can be reduced due to problems such as low strength and poor durability. Since the development of such low strength of concrete is important in the early construction stage, it is necessary to evaluate the vertical formwork demolding period at the early age. The correlation was analyzed by measuring the compressive strength and ultrasonic pulse velocity. As a result, the ultrasonic pulse rates of normal and lightweight aggregate concrete at the time of 5 MPa expression, which is the time of vertical mold deformation, were 3.07 km/s and 2.77 km/s for W/B 41, and 2.89 km/s and 2.73 km/s for W/B 33.

In this study, the compressive strength and ultrasonic pulse velocity were evaluated according to the elapsed time on concrete mixed with normal and lightweight aggregates at early age. For evaluation in various strength ranges, the design compressive strength was set to 30, 45, and 60MPa and evaluated. As a result of the experiment, the compressive strength of concrete mixed with lightweight aggregates developed 5MPa earlier compared to normal aggregate concrete, and the UPV showed a similar tendency.
