The purpose of this study to investigate the bond strength of recycled coarse aggregate concrete deteriorated by freezing and thawing. Concrete specimens with recycled coarse aggregate representing lower limit of the quality standard (water absorption : 3.0%, specific gravity : $2.5g.cm^3$) were manufactured and tested. The replacement ratio (0, 30, 60 and 100%) of recycled coarse aggregate and freezing-thawing cycles were considered in this test. From the test results, it was found that the bond strength of normal strength concrete is not affected by the replacement ratio of recycled coarse aggregate under freezing and thawing conditions. Also, the bond strength of the natural and recycled coarse aggregate concrete using AE admixtures was not decreased by frost action.

In this study, we developed a pressing device which can reproduce the pressure of concrete inside the conveying pipe as a part of the basic study to development of high fluidity concrete under high pressure pumping. Using this pressing device, we evaluated a absorption properties of aggregate that are crushed coarse aggregate, river gravel and lightweight coarse aggregate according to pressure of coarse aggregate and aggregate inside a high fluidity concrete, focused on the reduction of unit water quantity by pressure. In addition, it was evaluated the compressive strength of high fluidity concrete about before and after of pressive. Test a result, case of condition under the high pressure of 250 bar, absorption ratio of crushed coarse aggregate and river gravel were not increased above the surface absorption, absorption ratio of lightweight coarse aggregate was increased than the surface absorption.

One of the most important requirements for reinforced concrete constructions is the bond behavior between concrete and reinforcement. For practical application, it is very important to study bond behavior of reinforcing bars in recycled aggregate concrete (RAC). Thirty six pull-out tests were carried out in order to investigate the bond behaviour between recycled coarse aggregate concrete (RCAC) and deformed bars. RCA replacement ratios (i.e., 0%, 30%, 60% and 100%) and positions of deformed bar (i.e., vertical and horizontal position) were considered as variables in this paper. Each specimen was in the form of a cube, with edges of 150 mm in length and for the pull-out tests, a deformed bar, 13 mm in diameter, was embedded in the center of each specimen. Based on the test results, the bond strength between the RCAC and deformed bars were influenced by both RCA replacement ratios and positions of deformed bars. It was found that under the equivalent mix proportion (i.e., the mix proportions are the same, except for different RCA replacement ratios), the bond strength between the RCAC and the ribbed bar has no obvious relation with the RCA replacement ratio, whereas the positions of deformed bars have a significant effect on the bond behavior between the RCAC and deformed bars. Under the condition of same RCA replacement ratio, the specimen of horizontal reinforcement at upper position (HU type) appear considerably low bond stress.

As the lack of specific aggregation intensifies, the development of alternative resources is urgent. Construction waste is increasing every year, but recycled aggregate is used as a low value added material. Various studies are currently underway at the national level. In this paper, the mechanical performance of the concrete according to the concrete mixing method and the replacement amount of the circulating coarse aggregate was compared and evaluated. Concrete mixing method was normal mixing approach(NMA) method, two-stage mixing approach1 (TSMA1) method, two-stage mixing approach2 (TSMA2) method. Fresh concrete was tested for air content, slump test, and unit volume weight. Compressive strength and flexural strength were tested in hardened concrete. According to the TSMA method, the mechanical performance difference of concrete is shown, and the strength is decreased according to the circulating coarse aggregate replacement amount.

Waste concrete accounts for the largest portion of construction waste, and the supply of natural aggregate is unstable. Therefore, importance of using recycled aggregate is emphasized. The purpose of this study is to investigate the mechanical properties of high strength concrete according to the replacement rate of recycled coarse aggregate. For this purpose, the target design compressive strength was set to 40MPa, and the substitution rates of the recycled coarse aggregate were set to 0%, 30%, 60%, and 100%, respectively. Through experiments on the unreinforced concrete and hardened concrete, The validity of the use was confirmed. In addition, LCA method was used to evaluate the environmental impact of recycled aggregates and to compare and analyze the environmental impacts of the aggregates.

전기로 산화 슬래그 골재는 철강산업의 부산물을 재활용한다는 측면에서 친환경적일 뿐만 아니라 고갈되고 있는 골재자원을 대체할 수 있다는 측면에서 중요한 가치를 지닌다. 본 연구에서는 다량의 철성분을 함유하고 있어 높은 밀도를 나타내는 전기로 산화슬래그 골재를 사용한 친환경 콘크리트의 횡구속 성능에 관하여 검토하였다. 이 실험에서는 전기로 산화슬래그 굵은 골재 및 잔골재를 적용한 콘크리트 공시체를 제작하여 천연 굵은 골재와 잔골재를 적용한 콘크리트의 횡구속 거동을 파악하였다. 실험변수는 콘크리트 제작에 사용한 골재의 종류, 횡보강에 사용한 나선 철근의 항복강도로 하였다. 실험결과 전기로 산화슬래그 골재를 사용하였을 경우 천연골재를 사용한 실험체와 유사한 횡구속 효과를 보였다.

This study evaluates the shear performance of reinforced concrete beams with recycled coarse aggregates. A total of six specimens with various replacement ratios of recycled coarse aggregates (0%, 50%, and 100%) and different amount of shear reinforcement were cast and tested in this study. A finite element analysis was performed to predict the shear behavior of the specimens with natural or recycled coarse aggregates. The FE analysis was performed using a two-dimensional nonlinear FE analysis program based on the disturbed stress field model (DSFM), which is an extension of the modified compression field theory (MCFT). Experimental results showed that the specimens with 50% and 100% replacement ratios of recycled coarse aggregates had the similar shear strength compared to the specimen with natural aggregates, regardless of the replacement ratios of recycled coarse aggregates and the amount of the shear reinforcement. Furthermore, the comparison between experimental and analytical results showed that the proposed numerical modeling methods and the analytical model, DSFM, can be successfully used to predict the shear behavior of reinforced concrete beams with recycled coarse aggregates.

In general, high strength and high performance fiber reinforced cement composites exclude coarse aggregates basically in order to have homogeneous distributions of material properties. However, these fiber-reinforced cement mortar without coarse aggregate have a tenancy that the modulus of elasticity is low and the unit weight of cement is high, resulting in low economic efficiency. Therefore, in this study, the development of high ductile fiber - reinforced concrete was conducted, which has the adequate level of coarse aggregate but still retains the high flexural toughness and strength and also has the crack - distributing performance. Experimental study was carried out by using the amount of coarse aggregate as an experimental parameter. The results showed that the best flexural toughness and crack dispersion characteristics was obtained when the coarse aggregate was added at 25% by weight of the fine aggregate to the typical mixtures of high ductile cement mortar. PVA fiber was effective in crack distribution and ductility enhancement, and steel fiber was effective in strengthening flexural strength rather than crack distribution.

According to KS and Standard Specifications for Concrete, the compressive strength of concrete containing recycled aggregate is limited to 27 MPa and thereafter there are little research on concrete containing recycled aggregate of its compressive strength of greater than 27 MPa. Therefore, to expand the applicability of concrete recycled coarse aggregate(RCA), this paper concerns the mechanical properties of concrete containing RCA with compressive strength ranging from 30 to 60 MPa. The experimental parameters were water-cement ratio and replacement ratio of RCA. Water-cement ratio(w/c) was 0.36, 0.46 and 0.53, and replacement ratio of RCA was 30, 50, 70 and 100%. The experimental results were discussed about compressive strength, elastic modulus, split tensile strength and modulus of rupture. Test results of elastic modulus were compared to the design code predictions. Experimental elastic modulus for concrete with w/c=0.53 decreased by greater than 10% compared with that for concrete with w/c=0.36. The design code predictions for elastic modulus overestimated the experimental results. Whereas, the design code predictions for modulus of rupture underestimated the measured values.
