A recycled aggregate contains impurities that affect negative effects on physical properties of concrete. Therefore, a test method for examining impurities content in recycled aggregate is necessary before use of recycled aggregate. In this study, the test method by visual examination for separating impurities in recycled fine and coarse aggregates was developed. The results of the test are as follow: 1. The current KS F 2576 was necessary for comprehensive revision including types of tested recycled aggregate, definition of terminology, quantity of sample, and test method. 2. Visual examination is appropriate for larger than impurity panicle size of 1.2mm, and the larger panicle size the shorter time was required. 3. For the impurity content test by visual examination, the easiness and accuracy of the test can be obtained from the condition of sample weight of 30 grams with particle size of 2.5mm to 5mm for recycled fine aggregate and the condition of sample weight of 1 kilogram with panicle size of larger than 5mm for recycled coarse aggregate.

This study aims to obtain technical data for improvement of utilization of Blast Furnace Slag(BFS), recycled aggregate in the future by complementing fundamental problems of BFS such as manifestation of initial strength and excessive alkali quantity as well as weakness of recycled fine aggregate through manufacturing of recycled fine aggregate mortar using BFS. Since hydroxide ion concentration of calcium hydroxide(Ca(OH)2) ion erupted from recycled fine aggregate newly produced is over 12. In recycled fine aggregate mortar transposing and using BFS powder, calcium hydroxide(Ca(OH)2) erupted from recycled fine aggregate played a role of stimulus from the day 3 and manifestation of compressive strength was slowly increased with mortar using natural fine aggregate and showed considerable increase from the day 7.

In this study, in order to minimize the increase in the amount of various industrial by-products due to the rapid growth of the industry and the intensification of the depletion of natural aggregate resources, the material test using recycled aggregate and steelmaking slag and the proper mixing ratio of recycled concrete were to be derived. In this study, first, the conformity of the quality standards of the materials used in the field was confirmed, and the workability and molding results were shown when used alone or mixed. Therefore, the feasibility of application as aggregate for concrete was evaluated through a total of 4-type mixtures of cement types, admixtures, coarse aggregates, and fine aggregates. As a result of the experiment, it was confirmed that the slump of unhardened concrete, the amount of air, chloride and compressive strength of hardened concrete according to the replacement rate were different from the measured values of general concrete quality characteristics. According to this, it was confirmed that the quality characteristics of the standard design criteria were satisfied.

Recycled aggregate mortar contains plenty of calcium hydroxide to improve the strength of blast furnace slag, although the surface mortar made of recycled aggregate deteriorates adhesion to cement paste and blast furnace slag has a low initial strength. Therefore, this study assumes that the combination with both recycled aggregate and blast furnace slag will produce a better performance. The results of the experiment show that dry mortar made of recycled aggregate provides with higher strength than wet mortar does at the 3-day and 7-day age, while lower at the 28-day age. It indicates that a large amount of cement mortar made of dry recycled aggregate has deteriorated adhesion strength. The mixes with 30% and 50% of blast furnace slag and 50% and 75% of recycled aggregate provide with much better strength at the 7-day age, although they usually have latent hydraulic property at the 28-day age. It indicates that calcium hydroxide($Ca(OH){_2}$) in recycled aggregate has affected ground granulated blast furnace slag.

This study evaluated strength properties of recycled asphalt concretes using warm-mix technology. Granite with maximum size of 13mm and penetration grade of 80-100 virgin binder were used for mixing in recycled mixtures. Mix design was performed using 20% and 30% RAP(coarse : fine= 6 : 4) contents. GPC, penetration, absolute viscosity and kinematic viscosity were measured for determining ratio of two warm-mix additives (Evotherm and Sasobit). Low-density polyethylene(LD) used as asphalt modifier for improving stiffness of recycled WMA mixtures in this study. Therefore, a total of 11 mixtures were prepared in this study; 8 warm-mix recycled mixtures(2 RAP contents${\times}$2 warm-mix additives${\times}$2 modifiers), 2 hot-mix recycled mixtures and 1 HMA virgin mixture(control). Deformation strength, indirect tensile strength, moisture sensitivity, permanent deformation by wheel tracking tests were measured out for evaluating fundamental properties of recycled asphalt concretes using warm-mix technology.

In this paper, the characteristics of fresh and hardened recycled concrete were experimentally compared to investigate the applicability of the recycled fine aggregates with the substitution ratio. Test results show that the workability of the recycled concrete decreases with the increment of substitution ratio of the recycled fine aggregates except for type-D case which has a lower absorption ratio. Also air content was increased with increasing substitution ratio. It was found that the compressive strength and elastic modulus of recycled concrete were decreased with increasing substitution ratio of the recycled fine aggregates. And, the superplasticizer was more effective on the workability recovery of the recycled concrete.

It analyzes the quality of the fine aggregate which is reproduced through a dry production process with cyclone and a wet production process. The conclusions of the study are as follows. 1. The recycled fine aggregate through the dry production process with cyclone shows the low rate of absorption and impurity content after the cyclone process. It shows that its density is 2.37, absorption rate is 4.8 and stability is $5.1\%$ and less. Therefore, it satisfies the standards of KS F 2573(recycled aggregate for concrete) as the first grade. 2. The recycled fine aggregate through the wet production process shows the low rate of absorption and foreign substance content after the process of wash and dehydration. It shows that its density is 2.40, absorption rate is 3.12 and stability is $3.2\%$ and less. Therefore, it satisfies the standards of KS F 2573(recycled aggregate for concrete) as the first grade.

This study was undertaken to examine the feasibility of recycling waste concrete fine aggregate to prepare polymer-modified mortars. The specimens of polymer-modified mortars were prepared by using styrene-butadiene rubber(SBR) latex and polyacrylic ester(PAE) emulsion as a polymer modifier. The formulations for specimens were prepared with various replacing ratios of waste concrete fine aggregates as parts of standard sand and various polymer cement ratios. For the evaluation of the performance of polymer-modified mortars, various physical properties were investigated. As a results, water cement ratio of polymer-modified fresh mortars increased with an increase of recycled fine aggregate, but decreased with an increase of polymer modifiers. The compressive and flexural strengths of polymer-modified mortars decreased with an increase of recycled fine aggregate, but flexural strengths increased with an increase of polymer modifiers.

The Natural aggregate will be faced with serious shortage problem within 10 years due to the great amount of consumption in domestic. In order to reserve our natural resources, the construction waste has to be reused as an alternative material. Especially, It is more imminent to find alternative material in case of fine aggregate. This paper presents and experimental results on the fundamental property of concrete using recycled fine aggregate. As a result, it was found that the property of concrete using recycled fine aggregate substituted for 25% of a natural sand was similar in that of crushed fine aggregate.
