Properties of normal-strength mortar containing coarsely-crushed coal bottom ash considering standard particle size distribution of fine aggregate were investigated. Mortar containing raw bottom ash was applied as a reference. By crushing the bottom ash with a particle size larger than fine binder but smaller than fine aggregates, i.e., coarse-crushing, water absorption and specific gravity of the particles could be controlled as similar levels to those of natural fine aggregates. Workability and strength of the mortar were not changed and even increased when the coarsely-crushed bottom ash was added considering standard particle size distribution in Standard Specification for Concrete, while those were decreased when raw bottom ash was added without any treatment. When a replacement ratio of coarsely-crushed bottom ash was less than 30 vol.%, there were no significant decrease in dynamic modulus of elasticity and dry shrinkage of the mortar.

This study is about evaluation of shrinkage of concrete used oxidized EFS(electric-furnaceslag) aggregate. As a result, the shrinkage of concrete used oxidized EFS aggregate is decreased to about 40% in proportion to replacement of oxidized EFS aggregate in total aggregate volume.

This study assessed the use of zeolite with high absorption performance in landscape paving concrete as a substitute for aggregate. The absorption performance and strength properties of paving concrete were investigated according to the replacement rate of the zeolite coarse aggregate, and the mechanical properties were investigated through strength tests. The absorption rate of the zeolite aggregate was 14%, which is 2.5 times higher than that of general aggregate. When zeolite coarse aggregate is applied to paving concrete, the absorption rate increases according to the replacement rate. The absorption rate was 5.2% at a replacement rate of 50%, which was 42% higher than that of general paving concrete. The compressive strength increased to 20% of the replacement rate and decreased at a higher replacement, but all the strengths in the construction standard code were satisfied. The flexural strength satisfied the code up to a replacement rate of 10%, but the strength decreased with increasing replacement rate, and the splitting tensile strength was greater than that of paving concrete using general aggregate up to a 20% replacement rate. Overall, zeolite coarse aggregate can be applied as a substitute.

Aggregate resources in Korea are expected to run out owing to an increase in development demand and construction investment. Recycled concrete aggregates (RCA), extracted from waste concrete, have a lower quality than natural aggregates. However, RCA can produce concrete similar in quality to the normal concrete by aggregate pretreatment, use of admixtures, and quality control. RCA are most suitable for use in precast concrete products such as sidewalk blocks and revetment blocks. Herein, the feasibility of producing revetment blocks using recycled aggregate concrete (RAC), similar in quality to normal concrete, was analyzed. The amount of RCA was varied, and moderate high early strength cement and steam curing were used to produce the concrete test blocks. In the block test, the load resistance characteristics of the blocks were evaluated to determine optimal RAC and glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) rebar compositions. Thus, the variable that reduced the cement content was determined at the same level as that of natural aggregate concrete by the control of steam curing. In the concrete block test, although this depends on the reinforcement ratio, the RAC block exhibited the same or better performance than a normal concrete block. Therefore, the low quality of RCA in RAC is no longer a problem when concrete mixing and curing are controlled and appropriate reinforcement is used.

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.

The use of the recycled fine aggregate to the material of structural concrete is not easy currently because there are some problems, such as the difficulty of quality control and the badness of chemical and physical property other than river sand, crushed fine aggregate. To use of recycled fine aggregate, many researches on the recycling of recycled fine aggregate have been studying until today. However, the result of the research is little except for some results. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to confirm the possibility of use of recycled fine aggregate for raw material of plaster mortar. In this study, various tests were performed such as flow, air content, unit weight, bond strength, and compressive strength test to evaluate the effect according to the substitution of recycled concrete aggregate. The results of strength test showed that the concrete strength improved with the increase of replacement ratio of recycled fine aggregate. In the other side, flow and air content are decreased according to replacement ratio of recycled fine aggregate. The result of this study could be used as the basic data for the recycling of recycled fine aggregate.

In order to replace mineral aggregate used as road pavement materials with steel slag aggregate, this present study evaluated mechanical properties of SMA Concrete mixtures using steel slag aggregate as oxidized slag from electric furnace in iron works. The variables of this experiment are the aggregate type of mineral and steel slag and the sieve sized of 10mm and 13mm. The physical properties inclu ding the specific gravity and absorption rate etc. of the slag aggregate mixtu res satisfied the KS standard as asphalt mixtu re. As a resu lt of evalu ating the mechanical properties of the asphalt mixtures, the optimum asphalt content of the slag aggregate mixtures were lower than that of the mineral aggregate mixtures, but other quality standards were all satisfied. In the deformation strength evaluation, the slag aggregate mixtures were measu red slightly higher than that of the mineral aggregate mixtu res, and the dynamic stability test satisfied the 2,000pass/mm standard value in all specimens. And, the moduli of resilient of the slag aggregate mixtures showed an improved value compared with the mineral aggregate mixtures. Therefore, as the resilient rate of the slag aggregate mixtures improved, it is speculated that there will be an effect of improving public performance according to the repeated traffic load of the vehicle.

Recycled fine aggregate has low quality because it contains large amount of old mortar. So, its usage is limited to a lower value-add, such as the roadbed material etc. Also, alkaline water occurred from treatment process of the waste concrete is becoming the cause of environmental problem. Accordingly, this study is to develop on the high quality recycled fine aggregate produced by low speed wet abraser using sulphuric. We investigated the properties of compressive strength of the mortar which was manufactured using recycled fine aggregate containing calcined gypsum produced by earlier mentioned process. Test results indicate that concrete using recycled fine aggregate containing calcined gypsum is higher compressive strength than concrete using other sands.

We investigated the properties of compressive strength of the mortar which was manufactured using recycled fine aggregate containing calcined gypsum produced by earlier mentioned process. Test results indicate that mortar using recycled fine aggregate containing calcined gypsum has lowest compressive strength. It seems that low compressive strength is closely associated with the expansion of the specimen by excessive formation of ettringite.
