Even if the exploitation of copper slag produced during the smelting process of copper as aggregate for construction purpose has been permitted since 2004 in Korea, the lack of sufficient data enabling to evaluate its long-term stability that is its durability has to date impeded its application. This study intends to investigate experimentally the durability characteristics of 18 and 27 MPa-class commercial concretes in which natural sand (fine aggregates) has been partially replaced by copper slag through accelerated and exposure tests so as to provide bases promoting the application of copper slag concrete. The experimental results revealed insignificant difference of the durability characteristics in most of the mix proportions in which 30% of natural sand was replaced by copper slag. In the case where crushed sand was adopted, tests verified similar characteristics for replacement ratio of 50%. Particularly, the results of the exposure test conducted during 8 years demonstrated that equivalent level of durability was secured compared to the case using natural sand. In the case of 18MPa-class lower grade concrete, exposure test verified also that the physical lifetime similar to 50 years could be secured until carbonation reaches cover depth of 20 mm.

In this study we measured the changes according to time respectively on the basis of 0, 30, 60 and 90 minutes, taking into consideration the decline in fluidity of concrete according to elapsed time to analyze manufacturing capability of batcher plant according to elapsed time of ready-mixed concrete manufactured in batcher plant, and offer basic data for mixture design of ultra-high strength concrete. The proportion of water-binder was 23.55, water content was 160kg/m3, proportion of replacement of crushed sand was 0, 20 and 40% at 3 level, and we applied to the same condition of triaxial component using blast furnace slag powder and silica fume as admixture. And to meet the demand of certain fluidity, we measured respectively on property before and after hardening of ultra-high strength concrete using superplasticizer. As a result of experiment, before hardening of ultra-high strength concrete showed the best fluidity in conditions of crushed sand replacement rates of 20% and superplasticizer composition of 1.95%, but it appeared that fluidity drops as time goes by in the same composition condition. And it appeared that when it comes to hardened, the changes of compression strength according to elapsed time by crushed sand replacement rates were within 1MPa. Therefore, it turned out that the difference of strength according to elapsed time was low and compression strength of 280dys in composition mentioned above appeared highly as 88MPa.

As the deposits of natural sands have slowly been depleted, it has resulted in an increase in manufactured fine aggregate (MFA). Standard specifications for fine aggregate for concrete contained in KS F 2558 permit a maximum of 7 percent finer than the No. 200 sieve (75${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$). Since the production process for MFA normally generates 10 to 20 percent of micro fines-which is defined as aggregates passing the No. 200 sieve (75${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$)-more than permitted by specifications, Excess fines must be removed by screening and/or washing operations. The amount of by-products will continue to grow as production increases with environmental discharge restrictions. This fundamental study focuses on experimental research for the adequacy of use of micro fines included in crushed aggregate using methylene blue test. Total of 63 types of sands from seven different rocks were tested. Based on the test results, the methylene blue test was turned out to be a good indicator of the quality of micro fines for concrete and a supplementary article and an amendment of the KS standard were recommended.

In this study, crushed sand is blended with river sand and sea sand, to investigate the quality change of antiwashout underwater concrete with variation of blend ratio of crushed sand(0%, 20%, 40%, 60%, 80%, 100%). To see experiment conclusion, the more blend ratio of crushed sand increases, the more unit weight increases. Because the for that specific gravity of crushed sand is higher comparatively than that of river sand and sea sand. Higher compressive strength is measured following the order of river sand, crushed sand, sea sand regardless of age and casting-curing condition. Except for case of using river sand, blend ratio of 40% is appeared on most compressive strength. So the optimum blend ratio of crushed sand is 40% from the view point of compressive strength.

Recently, Trouble of sand supply is occurred according to exhaustion of natural sand resources. therefore, various measures are proposed for solution of trouble of sand supply and crushed sand among measures is used as one of most universal measures. but because crushed sand have poor particle shape and plenty of makes micro particle, the quality of concrete using crushed sand deteriorated. Therefore, this study evaluated engineering property of concrete with replacement ratio of crushed sand and applied evaluation result to fundamental data for quality control of concrete using crushed sand. The result of this study have shown that quality of concrete using crushed sand independently is poor against general concrete. but, the concrete mixing crushed sand with general sand can be similar in workability of concrete used general sand and increase compressive strength of concrete as against concrete using general sand.

In this study, evaluation of physical and chemical properties of crushed sand was performed to establish optimal mix proportion standard for concrete using crushed sand afterward. Most of properties of crushed sand were satisfied with KS F 2527. Especially, chemical stabilities such as alkali-aggregate reaction were fairly good. However, considerable attention would be required in using crushed sand from lime stone judging from the result that weight loss of it was more than 23.8%. There were some differences in the properties with production region, stone type and capacity of facility, therefore it is thought that quality should be controled by optimal regulations for corresponding items.
