Recycling of coal combustion by-product(Ash) are becoming more improtant in the utilization business as a result of the increased use of NOx reduction technologies at coal-fired power plants. current disposal methods of these by-products create not only a loss of profit for the power industry, but also environmental concerns that breed negative public opinion. This research made concrete crecast block using coal ash artificial aggregate for environmental-friendly products and compared strength special quality of this block with existent common use brick and analyzed application possibility in situ with a reserve experiment that measured strength property and manufactured method to handle coal ash produced in Bo-ryung thermoelectric power plant.

This study is to investigate the insulation performance of lightweight concrete using recycled lightweight aggregate, to develop lightweight concrete products which have an excellence on the insulation performance are satisfied with properties of building materials. As a result of this study, recycled EPS aggregate is considered to have an independent pores which is closed by dense partitions. So, it is showed that the insulation performance of lightweight concrete using recycled EPS aggregate are excellent. Especially, in the case of lightweight concrete under conditions of replacement ratio over 100%, it is considered that insulation performance is very excellent as thermal conductivity is showed about 0.2kcal/mh$^{\circ}C$. According to considering the relation between ultrasonic pulse velocity, unit weight and thermal conductivity through the graph, the result of relation between ultrasonic pulse velocity, unit weight and thermal conductivity on the graph expressed their high interaction shown as direct proportion on the graph. So that it is possible to extract the insulation performance of lightweight concrete using recycled EPS aggregate by ultrasonic pulse velocity and unit weight.

Natural aggregate regular exploitation has led to environmental and resource depletion issues; consequently, construction waste has become an important raw material in the supply of aggregate smoothly. The recycled aggregate produced in the most of recycled aggregate processing company in Korea has a high adhesion ratio of cement paste and mortar, which affects the water absorption ratio and density. Therefore, the quality of recycled aggregate needs to be improved. In this study, we improved the quality of recycled aggregate through the use of a multistage separation ball mill. This ball mill has a sieve which protects the ball mix and improves the motion. Products produced by using multistage separation ball mill were compared with various quality standard for utilization as recycle aggregate. Finally, we confirmed that the multistage separation ball mill can efficiently separate cement paste and mortar from natural aggregate and that it is suitable for the production of recycled aggregates.

This study investigated particle expansion in basic oxygen furnace slag (BOF) and desulfurization slag (DSS) after heat curing by using the volume method. Concrete hydration was accelerated by heat curing. The compressive strength, ultrasonic pulse velocity, and resistivity of the concrete were analyzed. Maximum expansion occurred in the BOF and DSS samples containing 0.30-0.60 mm and 0.60-1.18 mm particles, respectively. Deterioration was more severe in the BOF samples. In the slag aggregates for the complete replacement of fine aggregate, severe fractures occurred in both the BOF and DSS samples. Scanning electron microscopy revealed excess CH after curing, which caused peripheral hydration products to become extruded, resulting in fracture.

This study was on leaching test(KSLT, TCLP) of the aggregate for the products(RA-1) and for the site(RA-2) to evaluate the characteristics of contaminants and the possibility of contamination arising from the aggregate. On the basis pH, conductivity and heavy metal contents in the aggregate, RA-1 indicated higher than RA-2. As a result of the leaching test, the pollutants were eluted from the aggregate increased as the particle size of the aggregate was smaller. The pH in the aggregate had a strong alkali by a pH value of 9.0~12.3, the conductivity was higher in less than 10mm RA-1 due to the leaching of dissolved inorganic ions. The heavy metals satisfied the leaching standards of KSLT and less 10% was eluted from the aggregate. As a result of evaluating water pollution possibility of the aggregate, the pH displayed in items with a very high possibility of contamination, conductivity and turbidity did in item with a low possibility of contamination and on the other hand the heavy metals did in item with a very low possibility of contamination.

This study was performed to develop the lightweight polymer concrete using expanded clay and perlite to improve workability, durability and chemical resistance for bottom draining structure under severe condition. This paper was composed of two parts. One is to invest the physical and mechanical properties of lightweight polymer concrete using synthetic lightweight aggregate, the other is to the develop products for bottom draining structure. Physical and mechanical test for lightweight polymer concrete was performed unit weight, compressive and flexural strength, chemical resistance, accelerated weathering test, absorption ratio and optimum mix for lightweight polymer concrete was designed. Also, products for bottom draining structures by optimum mix of lightweight polymer concrete was made draining trench of small size.

The production accounts of domestic by-product is increased after 1990's. It is worried about the life reduction of dump land, as dump land's capacity have reached to limitation and the amount of construction industrial wastes is going higher Recently, Recycling aggregates could be gained from the reconstruction works using recycle process. and the study and research of recycle concretes developed concrete application methods, It could put some outcome of studies to practical use for concrete products. The methods of crushing waste concrete are going diverse. In this study, the fundamental experiments and recycling application is investigated and analyzed with use of recycling aggregate which made of mechanical crush and underwater electrical impact crush. and the difference between underwater electrical impact crush, mechanical crush and natural aggregates is studied.

Porous concrete enables water and air to pass through a firmly hardened material and allows required nutrients to reach roots of plants. The purpose of this study is to analyze void ratio, strength property and planting ability when using silica fume and fly ash, the change of aggregate gradation and ratio of paste to aggregate. The results of an experiment from the planting ability of the porous concrete to its influence on the compressive strength are reported in this paper. As a result of the experiment, the compressive strength is higher when the gradation of aggregate is smaller, and it also goes higher when the ratio of paste to aggregate gets larger. The planting ability of porous concrete is decided by the germination and the grass length of perennial ryegrass. The grass length of perennial ryegrass is longer when the gradation of aggregate is greater and the ratio of paste to aggregate gets smaller. Therefore the efficiency of planting goes through the perennial ryegrass is in compliance with the void ratio, aggregate gradation.

This study reviewed the possibility of recycling into exhausted aggregate resources in Korea as a means of utilizing coal gasification slag(CGS) from integrated gasification combined cycle(IGCC) while being commissioned in order to introduce the new system to Korea. In other words, in order to solve the problem of insufficient aggregate resources, CGS generated by IGCC as a residual aggregate for concrete secondary products, which is an empty mortar, was considered to replace CGS in the range of 0 to 100 % for mixed residual aggregate mixed with crushed sand A(CSa) of good quality and sea sand(SS) of deep particles, which are the most commonly used in the domestic construction industry. According to the study, replacing CGS with CSa or crushed sand B(CSb)+SS by 25 % to 50 % resulted in good results in the aspect of the granularity of the aggregate and the workability and compressive strength of cement mortar, which were found to be usable.
