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.

Cement is an essential material for social infrastructure. Cement production process for cement itself is energy-intensive and requires a large amount of natural resources for fuel and raw materials. This study is to development of recycled cement from waste concrete powder in manufacturing process of recycled aggregate concrete. Recycled cement is low carbon and green growth materials concept for eco friendly construction environment. From the test results, waste concrete powder is same chemical proportion regardless of manufacturing process of recycled aggregate concrete.

This paper investigates the utilization of waste tyre crumb rubber as the fine aggregate in precast concrete Paving block (PCPB). PCPB's are generally preferred for city roads, pedestrian crosswalk, parking lots and bus terminals. The main aim of this paper is to evaluate the mechanical properties of wet cast PCPB containing waste tyre crumb rubber. The mechanical properties were investigated using a density, compressive strength, split tensile strength and flexural strength tests at 7, 28 56 days according to the IS 15688:2006 and EN1338. The wet cast method was followed for producing PCPB samples. The fine aggregate (river sand) was replaced with waste tyre crumb in percentage of 5%, 10%, 15%, 20% and 25% by volume. All the test results were compared with the conventional PCPB (Without rubber). The test results indicate its feasibility for incorporating waste tyre crumb rubber in the production of PCPB by the wet cast method.

As the importance of recycled materials is being emphasized more in the Korean construction market, the production quality has been improved to a significantly high level. Compared to the high quality, however, there are used very limitedly. Among recycled construction materials, recycled aggregates produced through the retreatment of waste concrete are drawing attention because of lack of natural aggregate and heightened consciousness of resource saving and environmental protection and, as a consequence, they are close to natural aggregates in terms of production technology and quality. Despite the high quality and productivity, however,. the utilization of recycled aggregates is very low. Thus, in order to maximize the utility of recycled aggregates, the present study examined the usability of recycled aggregates using both recycled coarse aggregates and recycled fine aggregates together and derived optimal quantity and mixture ratio in the combined use of the two types of recycled aggregate.

It was investigated by experimental method whether fine powder and coarse particle obtained by briquet cinders crushing could be used in the place of cement and fine aggregate or coarse aggregate for concrete. Except these experiments, further study, containing the fundamental physical properties of briquet cinders and the mechanical properties of concrete using briquet cinders, is needed for practical use, but these experimental results suggest the possibility for using briquet cinders as materials for mortar or concrete.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the utilization of recycled fine aggregates as a material to apply to concrete curbs. This study also intends to improve the quality of recycling aggregates by adding an excellent polyester resin for the improvement of durability, anti-corrosiveness, and strength. The experimental mixing proportion was planned to acquire optimum workability and filling capability of resin mortar mixed with the recycled fine aggregate. The curbs products made for test have four type cross sections. Their flexible fracture load is 1,918~6,883kgf and their weight is 15.31~31.61kg.

In this study, the Proctor penetration resistance test value and the hardness value of the improved Durometer were compared and analyzed for the change in the FA replacement rate of the concrete using CGS fine aggregate. The results are summarized as follows. It is. 1) The Proctor penetration resistance test value and the hardness value of the improved Durometer showed a high correlation in the form of a curve. 2) About surface finish Super-resolution with the improved Durometer is considered to be useful when using about 50 HD and about 80 HD in the end to determine the surface finishing work time.

In downtown subway project most of excavated soil is discarded externally, whereas in road construction excavated soil is used as filling material and management of surplus soil becomes important factor for success of the project. Excavated materials from slurry shield TBM are discharged through discharge pipe to slurry treatment plant and excavated soil mixed with bentonite are separated in separation plant by grain size. Fine material has been discarded together in filter cake without recycling. Its volume can vary according to geologic condition but statistically fine material as filter cake is about 5%~30% out of overall excavated volume. However, filter cake is non-toxic and can be recycled when mixed in the appropriate proportions with coarse aggregate. Therefore, in this study, utilization of excavated soil from a slurry shield TBM were examined and lab tests were conducted to find the proper way for mixing filter cake and aggregate to be recycled as fill material for road construction.

This study is analysis of the utilization as a concrete fine aggregate on CGS, a by-product of Integrated coal gasification combined cycle(IGCC). That is, in KS F 2527 "Concrete aggregate," properties of 1~12times to CGS were evaluated, focusing on quality items corresponding to natural aggregate sand(NS) and melted slag aggregate sand(MS). As a result, the distribution of grain shape, safety and expansion were all satisfied with KS standards by physical properties, but the quality was unstable at 7~12times of water absorption ratio and absolute dry density. The particle size distribution was unstable due to asymmetry distribution of coarse particles, and particles were too thick for 7~12times. The passing ratio of 0.08mm sieve was also out of the KS standard at part factor of 7~12times, but chloride content, clay contents, coal and lignite were all satisfactory. Meanwhile, chemical composition was satisfactory except for $SO_3$ in 1~6times, and content and amount of harmful substances were all within the specified value except for F in 7~12times. As a result of SEM analysis, the surface quality and porosity were 7~12times more than 1~6times, and it was the quality was degraded. Therefore, it is necessary to reduce the quality deviation by using separate measures in order to utilize it as concrete aggregate in the future, and if it is premixed with fine quality aggregate, it will contribute positively to solve aggregate supply shortage and utilize circulation resources.

In order to maximize the utilization of recycled fine aggregate, high strength mortar made of 100 % recycled fine aggregate was prepared, and its physical properties were evaluated to determine the possibility of using recycled fine aggregate as structural aggregate. The effect caused by the amount of nanosilica on the physical properties of w/b 0.2 recycled fine aggregate mortar consisting of cement, silica fume, and blast furnace slag. To improve the dispersion of nanosilica inside mortar, an aqueously dispersed nanosilica solution by ultrasonic tip sonication was prepared, and incorporated into the mortar to evaluate changes in mortar flow, porosity and compressive strength depending on nanosilica content. According to the experimental results, mortar flow decreased as the replacement ratio of nano-silica increased. As the replacement ratio of nanosilica increased up to 0.75 %, the porosity decreased and the compressive strength increased, but, at a replacement ratio of 1 %, the porosity increased and the compressive strength decreased. It was confirmed that the nano-silica replacement ratio of 0.75 % was optimum proportion to maximize the mechanical performance of high-strength recycled fine aggregate mortar.
