The main objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of recycled PET fiber made from waste PET bottle on the control of plastic shrinkage cracking of cement based composites. PET is blown as a plastic material and used in a variety products such as a beverage bottle. However, waste PET bottles are thrown after the usage, raising huge problems in terms of the environment. Thus, the research on the method to recycle the PET bottles indicates important aspects in environment and economy. The method to recycle waste PET bottles as a reinforcing fiber for cement based composites is one of effective methods in terms of the recycle of waste PET bottles. In this research, the effect of recycled PET fiber geometry and length on the control of plastic shrinkage was examined through thin slab tests. A test program was carried out to understand the influence of fiber geometry, length and fiber volume fraction. Three type of recycled PET fibers including straight, twist crimped and embossed type. Three volume fraction and two fiber length were investigated for each of the three fiber geometry. Test results indicated that recycled PET fibers are effective in controlling plastic shrinkage cracking in cement based composites. In respect to effect of length of fiber, longer fiber was observed to have efficient cracking controlling with low volume fraction in same fiber geometry while shorter fiber controled plastic shrinkage cracking efficiently as addition rate increase. Also, embossed type fibers were more effective in controlling plastic shrinkage cracking than other geometry fiber at low volume fraction. But, for high volume fraction, straight type fibers were most effective in plastic shrinkage cracking controlling in cement based composites.

Until now, the construction material industry has been recognized as a typical environmental destruction industry. However, recently, in order to reduce $CO_2$ emission, the main cause of environmental problems, lots of studies have been done about recycling industrial by-products and construction wastes. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to confirm whether it is possible to use as an alternative material in cement production process as a part of the development of recycled cement using an inorganic construction waste. For this study, the inorganic construction wastes was collected and analyzed each chemical component by XRF(X-ray Fluorescene). Also, the inorganic construction wastes were combined based on the chemical component of the cement, to perform this analysis. As a result, when the inorganic construction wastes was properly combined, it is possible to consider the development of the recycled cement used the inorganic construction wastes.

For the stable management of radioactive waste, it is necessary to secure a solidification treatment technology capable of immobilizing hazardous radioactive elements in a solid matrix. In this study, the feasibility of using recycled cement recovered from waste concrete as a solidifying material for radioactive waste was analyzed.

Recently, the reuse of coarse aggregate derived from demolished concrete was introduced into practice with two environmental aspects: protection of natural sources of aggregate and recycling of construction waste. However, recycled aggregate has been used for the very limited application such as subbase material for pavement and constructional filling material because it was considered as low quality constructional materials. In the present study, in order to examine the possibility that recycled aggregate can be used for concrete mixing, we conducted various experimental tests to identify mineralogical, chemical and mechanical properties of recycled aggregate and to determine the workability and mechanical properties of recycled aggregate concrete (RAC). The cement paste and mortar contained in recycled aggregate significantly affect the basic mechanical properties of aggregate and the workability and mechanical properties of RAC. However, RCA mixed with the proper replacement ratio of recycled aggregate shows the comparable compressive strength and freeze and thaw resistance to those of normal concrete. Therefore, it is considered that recycled aggregate can be widely used for concrete if the cement paste and mortar can be efficiently removed from recycled aggregate and/or if the effective replacement ratios of recycled aggregate are applied for mixing concrete.

The strength and freeze-thaw test were carried out in order to use recycled aggregate as crushed aggregate in concrete. The recycled concrete had a lower flexture and compressive strengths than ordinary concrete, but the inclusion of fly ash shows similar results in both concretes. The resistance of freeze-thaw was strongly influenced by W/C ratio, content of recycled aggregate and fly ash, and it was also found that the resistance was higher when W/C ratio and fly ash content was lower. and was superior when replacement level of recycled aggregate reached to 80%.

본 연구에서는 수직 밀폐형 지중열교환기 뒤채움용 그라우트의 종류와 첨가재 종류, 지중열교환기 파이프 단면에 따른 지중열교환기의 성능을 비교 평가하기 위해 현장 시험 시공과 현장 열응답 시험을 수행하였다. 뒤채움용 그라우트재는 벤토나이트와 시멘트를 사용하였으며 첨가제로는 천연규사와 흑연을 적용하였다. 지중열교환기 파이프 단면은 일반적으로 시공되는 U-loop 파이프 단면과 파이프 사이의 열간섭 효과를 최소화 한 3공형 파이프 단면이 적용되었다. 시멘트-천연규사 그라우트재가 벤토나이트-천연규사 그라우트재 보다 큰 지중 유효열전도도를 보이고 흑연을 첨가한 그라우트는 시멘트와 벤토나이트 모두에서 천연규사만 첨가하였을 때 보다 지중 유효열전도도가 높게 나타났다. 3공형 파이프 단면의 경우 단면에 따른 영향을 비교하기 위해 그라우트는 시멘트-천연규사와 벤토나이트-천연규사를 사용하였으며 지중 유효열전도도 측정결과 각각 3.64 W/mK, 3.40 W/mK으로 일반 U-loop 파이프 단면을 사용하였을 때 보다 높게 나타났다.

폐차잔재를 시멘트제조공정의 열원으로 활용하기 위해서는 연료로 사용하기 위한 경제성과 더불어 시멘트제조공정 및 품질 그리고 환경기준을 만족해야 한다. 따라서 폐차잔재의 최적투입방법과 폐차잔재의 연소시 염소물질의 거동특성에 대한 연구가 선행되어야만 한다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 폐차잔재의 시멘트 킬른 현장적용에 따른 위험요소와 시행착오를 최소화하기 위하여 최적 연료화 조건에 대한 전산모사 연구를 하였으며 전산모사의 대상공정으로는 폐차잔재가 투입될 Precalciner와 염소제어를 위하여 Bypass unit가 설치될 Precalciner의 하단부 그리고 Cyclone을 선정하여 입자 및 가스상의 거동 특성을 고찰하였다. 본 연구로부터 폐차잔재의 투입위치로는 현재의 석탄 투입위치를 활용하는 것이 효과적일 것으로 판단되었으며 Precalciner의 하단부에 대한 가스상 및 입자상의 거동특성을 활용하여 Bypass unit를 설치할 최적의 위치를 선정할 수 있었다. 또한 Cyclone의 입자 거동특성 결과로부터 염소 제어를 위한 각 Cyclone의 입자회수율에 대한 정보 및 공정의 개선 가능성을 확인할 수 있었다.

Cement is a basic material for the construction industry and it requires high temperature sintering when manufacturing cement. $CO_2$ emissions from raw materials and fuels are recognized as new environmental problems and efforts are underway to reduce them. Techniques for reducing $CO_2$ in concrete are also recommended to use blended cement such as blast furnace slag or fly ash. In addition, the construction waste generated in the dismantling of concrete structures is recognized as another environmental problem. Thus, various methods are being implemented to increase the recycling rate. The purpose of this study is to utilize the inorganic raw materials generated during the dismantling of the structure as a raw material for the low carbon type cement binder. Such as, waste concrete powder, waste cement block, waste clay brick and waste textile as raw materials for low carbon type cement binder. From the research results, low carbon type cement binder was manufactured from the raw material composition of waste concrete powder, waste cement block, waste clay brick and waste textile.

To improve the mechanical propertiesof concretes containing recycled aggregate, pozzolanic materials such as colloidal silica, water glass, and/or silica fume were used to decrease the porosity of the recycled aggregates. Some pozzolanic materials were ad
