This paper concerns flexural strength of reinforced concrete beams containing recycled coarse aggregate (RCA) with compressive strength ranging from 31 to 38 MPa. The experimental parameters were replacement ratio of RCA and rebar ratio. Replacement ratio of RCA was 0, 30, 50 and 100%, and rebar ratio was 0.50, 0.79 and 1.14%. The RCA concrete beams were tested by using four-point bending test, and experimental results were discussed regarding crack and failure patterns, load-deflection relationship. Crack pattern of concrete beams with RCA was similar to that of concrete beams with natural coarse aggregate (NCA) but overall crack spacing of concrete beams with RCA was smaller than that of concrete beams with NCA. The crack width of RCA and NCA concrete beams was similar to each other. In addition, the test results of flexural strength were compared to the design code predictions. The design code predictions for flexural strength underestimated the experimental results. Therefore, the design code predictions for flexural strength of RCA concrete beams would offer conservative design.

The objective of this paper is to investigate experimentally the effect of the substitution of recycled aggregates under 13mm on the properties of the concrete using coarse aggregate with size of 13~25mm. Recycled aggregate under 13mm were substituted to the concrete ranged from 10% to 100%. To compare the properties with the case of recycled aggregate, crushed stone with smaller than 13mm was also substituted to the concrete by 20% and 40%. Test results showed that increase of recycled aggregate under 13mm resulted in the increase of slump and compressive strength compared with plain mixture, which was made with only aggregate with 13~25mm size. This is due to the dense gradation of aggregate in association with addition of relatively small particle. It is thought that the use of recycled aggregate under 13mm along with 30% contributes to the quality improvement of the concrete made with only 13~25mm aggregate.

In this study, the mechanical properties of concrete with recycled coarse aggregate (RG) selected by multi-stage wind pressure (MSWP) treatment were evaluated. After evaluating the basic properties of natural and recycled coarse aggregates, the mechanical performance of the recycled coarse aggregates concrete was experimentally investigated. As a result, it was found that the MSWP technique could improve the fundamental properties such as density and water absorption of RG. In addition, the concrete with RG selected by MSWP showed a better mechanical performance, indicating a higher strength values, surface electric resistivity and a lower absorption. Thus, it seems that the MSWP technique can be effective for the production of high-quality RG.

현대의 건설기술은 자원절약과 환경보전이라는 시대적 흐름 속에, 자원순환과 지속 가능한 친환경 건설기술 개발은 차세대 연구분야로써, 연구가 시급한 분야가 되었다. 최근에는 골재 수급불균형 문제를 해결하고 동시에 자원순환을 위한 방안으로서 건설폐기물로부터 생산된 순환골재를 콘크리트용 천연골재의 대체재로 활용하기 위한 연구개발이 이루어지고 있다. 지속가능형 건설기술을 국내 독자 기술로 확립하고 건설현장에서 발생하는 폐기물의 순환시스템을 확고하게 구축하여 순환자원에 의한 국가경쟁력 강화를 기대할 수 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 순환골재 콘크리트의 역학적 특성을 개선하기 위해 순환골재 콘크리트 공시체를 제작하여 강도 및 강성을 검증하는 것이다. 실험방법으로 순환굵은골재의 치환 비율을 0%에서 100%까지 변화시킨 공시체를 제작하고 각 공시체의 정적 극한강도 거동을 비교 분석하였다. 하중은 공시체가 파괴가 발생 할 때까지 변위제어 방식으로 재하 하였으며 이 때 공시체의 파괴거동은 설치된 계측센서들을 이용하여 계측 및 분석하였다. 실험결과 공시체의 압축강도는 순환굵은골재 치환률이 25% 미만일 경우 일반 콘크리트 압축강도의 95% 이상의 구조성능을 갖지만, 순환굵은골재 치환률이 100%인 경우, 일반콘크리트 압축강도의 85% 수준의 구조성능을 나타냈다. 강성은 FRP 부재의 순환골재 치환률에 따라 최대 14%의 강성차이를 보였다. 이를 통해 순환골재 치환률이 높을수록 순환골재 표면의 폐모르타르와 이물질의 영향으로 재료간의 부착강도가 감소되어 강도와 강성이 저하되었음을 확인하였다.

In this study, it was determined that it was necessary to consider the replacement rate when applying recycled coarse aggregate to concrete, so data on existing research trends and results were collected and the mechanical properties of concrete according to the replacement rate of recycled coarse aggregate were analyzed. In collecting data on recycled coarse aggregate, data without processes such as compressive strength and removal of residual mortar attached to recycled coarse aggregate were collected among the concrete measurement items. In the case of concrete with 50 % and 100 % replacement of recycled coarse aggregate, it was confirmed that the mechanical properties were lower or higher than ordinary concrete by -36.0 ~ 9.9 % and -40.0 ~ 10.4 %, respectively, on average. Accordingly, it is judged that additional water should be mixed in consideration of the absorption rate when mixing, and the replacement rate of recycled coarse aggregate, which has mechanical properties of 80 % or more compared to ordinary concrete, should be less than 50 %.

Recently, natural aggregate was adequate to supply the demand due to increase of building construction. National pollution induced by construction waste caused by the reconstruction and redevelopment was cited as the major social issues in Korea. Therefore, government are required by law to use the recycled aggregate. In order to consider safety, KS F 2573 recommend that recycled aggregate with below design strength 27MPa and replacement ratio of 30%. This study on flexural behaviors of reinforced concrete beam was conducted and the specimens employed in test were planed with high strength concrete (40, 50 and 60MPa) and recycled aggregate replacement ratio (0, 30, 50, 100%). Although the flexural strength of reinforced concrete beam has trendy to decrease with increase of replacement ratio, it is meet to KCI 2007. The comparison results show that reinforced concrete beam using recycled aggregate can apply as flexural member in building construction.

본 논문에서는 순환골재에 대하여 구조용 적용성 검증을 목표로 하였으며, 천연골재와 순환골재 치환율에 따른 압축파괴강도와 압축강도증가에 따른 파속도의 상관관계를 비교 분석하였다. 설계기준강도 21, 27, 35MPa에 순환굵은골재 치환율 0, 30, 50, 100%를 적용하여 설계기준강도에 따른 순환굵은골재 치환율의 배합을 총 12가지로 설정하였다. 재령160일까지의 압축파괴강도의 변화를 대기양생 공시체, 수중 양생공시체 그리고 코어공시체를 이용하여 비교하였고, 모의부재(800${\times}$800${\times}$200mm)를 통하여 재령160일까지의 초음파속도를 측정하였다. 압축파괴실험을 통하여 취득한 데이터를 비교해 본 결과 순환굵은골재 치환율에 따른 강도저하현상은 나타나지 않았다. 또한, 재령일에 따른 강도 증가와 함께 파속도도 같이 증가함을 알 수 있었다.

Vicker's hardness and pore size distribution of mortar adhered to the recycled coarse aggregate were tested according to the strength level of original concrete of recycled coarse aggregate to find the change of mortar adhered to the recycled coarse aggregate in cement paste. The strength levels of original concrete of recycled coarse aggregate were 25.5MPa, 41.7MPa and 60.1MPa and the aggregates were used at the state of saturated surface dry condition and oven dry condition. The results of this experimentation indicated that the mean value of Vicker's hardness was increased according to age and strength of original concrete of recycled aggregate. Porosity of $100nm{\sim}10{\mu}m$ size was reduced and porosity of 6nm~100nm size was increased in cement paste.

Many researches have been conducted to utilize recycled aggregates in Korea, but since most sources of recycled aggregates are not clear, there is a lot of uncertainty in applying the existing research results on recycle of aggregates generated from nuclear power plants. In this study, therefore, in order to investigate the possibility of recycling coarse aggregates generated through dismantling of nuclear power plants in Korea, recycled coarse aggregates were produced from concrete simulating nuclear power plants in Korea. Using the recycled coarse aggregates, concrete was mixed in consideration of the mixing ratio of the recycled coarse aggregates, and the mechanical properties were experimentally investigated. From the test results, as the mixing ratio of recycled coarse aggregates increased. concrete compressive strength, tensile strength, and elastic modulus generally decreased up to 36, 37, and 27% from the mechanical properties of normal concrete, respectively. Therefore, it can be concluded that limitation on the mixing ratio of recycled coarse aggregates is necessary when coarse aggregates are recycled through dismantling of nuclear power plants.

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.
