The supply of natural aggregate for concrete has been difficult, and the amount of construction waste has been continuously increasing. Therefore, the necessity of using recycled aggregate made of construction waste as aggregate is rised. Therefore, many studies on the characteristics of concrete using recycled aggregate have been made and positive studies have been reported mainly in recent studies. A study on the chlorides binding effect of the mortar with recycled coarse aggregate has been reported. However, due to the user's perception of waste, most of the recycled aggregate currently produced is used only for low value-added products. In order to improve the recognition of recycled aggregate and the user's perception of recycled aggregate concrete, long-term monitoring of the structure with 100% recycled aggregate was conducted to confirm the applicability of the recycled aggregate concrete.

콘크리트 구조물이 고온에 가열되면 그 성질이 변화하여 구조물은 다양한 영향을 받는다. 콘크리트 구조물의 고온에서의 성상은 시멘트의 종류, 골재의 성질, 배합비, 함수율, 재령 등에 의해 다르다. 콘크리트의 열성질에 관한 외국에서의 연구는 다수 보고되었으나 국내에서 연구한 결과는 없으며 특히 시멘트의 종류, 골재의 성질 등에 따라 고온에서의 성상이 다르기 때문에 본 연구에서는 국내에서 생산되는 시멘트, 골재를 대상으로 하였다. 또한 콘크리트 배합을 일반 구조물 및 아파트 현장에서 사용하는 배합비로 시험체를 제작ㆍ실험하였다.

In order to use a recycled aggregate concrete for precast concrete box structures, the structural behaviors should be analytically and experimentally evaluated. In this study, full-scale precast concrete box structures are manufactured using the recycled aggregate (30% replacement) and natural aggregate. Then, the flexural failure test and shear failure test as well as water leakage lest for the structures arc carried out. First of all, test results of compressive strength show that recycled aggregate concrete is only 4% lower than normal concrete. In the flexural and shear failure test, the structural performances of precast box using the recycled aggregate concrete are 95% of the capacities of normal precast concrete box or more. Especially, the water leakage test shows that leakage pressure of recycled concrete box is more than the critical value, 60kPa, as well as 9% higher than normal precast concrete box. These test results are analyzed and compared with results of finite clement analysis. The comparison shows that test results are more excellent than analytical results. Also, the comparison confirms the applicability of recycled aggregate concrete for the use as practical precast concrete box structure.

Recently, building structures tend to be super high-rise and large-scale with the development of concrete technology. When high-rise building is constructed of reinforced concrete structure, it has a disadvantage that its own weight increases. Light weight aggregate(LWA) was developed to compensate for these shortcomings. Manufacturing concrete using these light weight aggregates has the advantage of reducing the self weight of the reinforced concrete structure, but has a disadvantage in that the strength of the concrete is reduced. In this study, an experimental study was conducted to investigate the strength characteristics of hardened cement according to the presence or absence of surface coating of lightweight aggregates. As a result, in terms of compressive strength, the surface-coated lightweight aggregate exhibited higher strength than the uncoated lightweight aggregate. Also, it was considered that this is because the interfacial voids of the surface coated lightweight aggregate mixed cement hardened body were filled with blast furnace slag fine powder particles.

In this study, various mechanical properties of concretes employing waste concrete as aggregate were examined. These concretes were obtained by mixing seven types of aggregate for different ratios. So, the experimental variables are the kinds of aggregates (some different aggregate compositions) and W/C ratio (0.40, 0.45, 0.50). From experimental results, the reliable regression analysis equations between compressive strength and various experimental data for recycled aggregate concrete are presented. Consequently, this study was accomplished to investigate basic engineering properties of recycled aggregate concrete using waste concrete.

Amount of demolished concretes is highly produced as dismantlement of structures to increased owing to usage alteration and deteriorated of concrete structures, but most of them have been used as material for simple reclamation. Therefore, if demolished concrete could be recycled as aggregate for concrete. it will contribute to solve the exhaustion of nature aggregate, in terms of saving resources and protecting environment, especially being want of resources in Korea. In this study it was investigated into experimental results that were carried out demolished concrete recycled aggregate gained from dismantled real structures and source concrete recycled aggregate produced according to respectively 5 steps of replacement ratio for recycling as pavement concrete aggregate.

Recycled aggregate is a valuable resource in Korea in lack of natural aggregate. Government recognizes the importance and suggests various policies enhancing its use for higher value-added application. Most of recycled aggregate produced currently in Korea, however, is applied for low value-added uses such as embankment, reclamation, etc. Its higher valued application such as for structural concrete is very limited. Although domestic manufacturing technology of recycled aggregate is at the world level, recycled aggregate is not applied for structural concrete. Primary reasons for the limited use of the recycled aggregate include bonded mortar and cracks occurred during crushing and hence it is very difficult to predict and control the quality of recycled aggregate concrete. This research intended to grasp combined characteristics of recycled aggregate, high early strength cement, maximum temperature and time duration of steam curing and then, analyze the effects of factors. Also, it suggested the method to improve field applicability of recycled aggregate concrete.

As a manufacturing process of recycled aggregate improves the quality of recycled aggregate shall be sufficient enough to be used for structural concrete. This study characterized compressive strength and elastic modulus of concrete that used recycled coarse and fine aggregate. Before the strength tests, the fundamental characteristics of recycled aggregate were preliminarily analyzed and the recycled aggregate satisfied the class 1 requirements in KS F 2573. As the replacement ratio increased, the compressive strength and elastic modulus of recycled aggregate concrete decreased. When the coarse and fine aggregates were completely replaced with the recycled, the compressive strength and elastic modulus were decreased by 13% and 31%, respectively. Based on the test results, this study suggests equations for predicting the compressive strength and elastic modulus of the recycled aggregate concrete with respect to the replacement ratio. The values from the equations were in good agreement with the test data from this study and others.

The volume of shells, a prominent form of marine waste, is steadily increasing each year. However, a significant portion of these shells is either discarded or left near coastlines, posing environmental and social concerns. Utilizing shells as a substitute for traditional aggregates presents a potential solution, especially considering the diminishing availability of natural aggregates. This approach could effectively reduce transportation logistics costs, thereby promoting resource recycling. In this study, we explore the feasibility of employing wasted shell aggregates in 3D concrete printing technology for marine structures. Despite the advantages, it is observed that 3D printing concrete with wasted shells as aggregates results in lower strength compared to ordinary concrete, attributed to pores at the interface of shells and cement paste. Microstructure characterization becomes essential for evaluating mechanical properties. We conduct an analysis of the mechanical properties and microstructure of 3D printing concrete specimens incorporating wasted shells. Additionally, a mix design is proposed, taking into account flowability, extrudability, and buildability. To assess mechanical properties, compression and bonding strength specimens are fabricated using a 3D printer, and subsequent strength tests are conducted. Microstructure characteristics are analyzed through scanning electron microscope tests, providing high-resolution images. A histogram-based segmentation method is applied to segment pores, and porosity is compared based on the type of wasted shell. Pore characteristics are quantified using a probability function, establishing a correlation between the mechanical properties and microstructure characteristics of the specimens according to the type of wasted shell.
