This paper reports the effects of coarse and fine recycled concrete aggregates (RCA) on fresh and hardened properties of self-compacting concrete (SCC) containing ground granulated blast-furnace slag (GGBFS) as cement replacement. For this purpose, three SCC mixes groups, were produced at a constant water to binder ratio of 0.38. Both fine and coarse recycled aggregates were used as natural aggregates (NA) replacement at different substitution levels of 0%, 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% by volume for each mix group. Each group, included 0, 15% or 30% GGBFS as Portland cement replacement by weight. The SCC properties investigated were self-compactability parameters (i.e., slump flow, T500 time, V-funnel flow time, L-box passing ability and sieve stability), compressive strength, capillary water absorption and water penetration depth. The results show that the combined use of RCA with GGBFS had a significant effect on fresh and hardened SCC mixes. The addition of both fine and coarse recycled aggregates as a substitution up to 50% of natural aggregates enhance the workability of SCC mixes, whereas the addition from 50 to 100% decreases the workability, whatever the slag content used as cement replacement. An enhancement of workability of SCC mixes with recycled aggregates was noticed as increasing GGBFS from 0 to 30%. RCA content of 25% to 50% as NA replacement and cement replacement of 15% GGBFS seems to be the optimum level to produce satisfactory SCC without any bleeding or segregation. Furthermore, the addition of slag to recycled concrete aggregates of SCC mixes reduces strength losses at the long term (56 and 90 days). However, a decrease in the capillary water absorption and water permeability depth was noticed, when using RCA mixes with slag.

소성 분위기를 변화시켜 골재를 제조할 때 골재의 중앙에 만들어지는 블랙코어(black core) 형성정도의 차이와 골재 물성의 차이점을 알아보기 위해 적점토, 탄소(carbon), 산화철($Fe_2O_3$)이 혼합된 직경 10mm 구형골재를 조성별로 산화분위기, 중성분위기, 환원분위기에서 각각 소성시키고 각각의 비중, 흡수율, 블랙코어 면적비(%)를 측정하고 비교하였다. 산화분위기에서 소성시킨 골재는 껍질(shell)과 블랙코어가 뚜렷하게 구분되는 반면 중성 및 환원분위기에서 소성한 시편에서는 시편의 단면전체에 블랙코어가 형성되었다. 산화분위기와 중성분위기와는 달리 환원분위기에서 소성된 시편에서는 탄소첨가량이 증가할수록 비중이 증가했으며, 전반적인 비중은 가장 낮았다. 흡수율은 모든 분위기에서 탄소첨가량이 증가할수록 증가하는 경향을 보였다.

In this study, effect of recycled aggregates and polypropylene fibers on the response of conventionally reinforced concrete element subjected to tensile loading in terms of tension stiffening and strain development was experimentally investigated. For this purpose, concrete prisms of 100 × 100 mm cross section and 500 mm length having one central deformed steel re-bar were cast using fibrous and non-fibrous Recycled Aggregate Concrete (RAC) with varying percentages of recycled aggregates (0%, 25%, 50%, 75% and 100%) and tested under uniaxial tensile load. For all fibrous RAC mixes, polypropylene fibers were used at constant dosage of 3.15 kg/㎥. Effect of recycled aggregates and fibers on the compressive strength of concrete was also explored in this study. Through studying tensile load versus global axial deformation of composite and strain development in concrete and steel, it was found that replacement of natural aggregates with recycled aggregates in concrete negatively affected the cracking load, tension stiffening and strain development, and this negative effect was observed to be increased with increasing contents of recycled aggregates in concrete. The results of this study showed that it was possible to minimize the negative effect of recycled aggregates in concrete by the addition of polypropylene fibers. Reinforced concrete element constructed using concrete containing 50% recycled aggregates and polypropylene fibers exhibited cracking behavior, tension stiffening and strain development response almost similar to that of concrete element constructed using natural aggregate concrete without fiber.

이 연구는 몇 가지 종류의 골재용 암석들에 대한 광물학적 및 화학적 특성을 구명하고, 이들과 물리적.역학적 특성간의 상호관계 및 콘크리트용 골재로서의적합성을 알아보기 위한 것이다. 연구대상 암석들의 광물학적.화학적 및 물리적.역학적 특성 등을 고려할 때, BJ 채석장에서 채취한 화강암과 KB, HI, SK 채석장에 채취한 호상 편마암, 홍천강변에서 채취한 규암 등은 파동소광을 보이는 석영이 다량 함유되어 광물학적으로 알칼리-실리카 반응을 일으킬 수 있는 가능성이 있기 때문에 시멘트 콘크리트용 골재로 사용하는 것보다는 다른 용도의 골재로 이용하는 것이 바람직할 것으로 생각된다. SY채석장에서 채취한 석회암의 경우에는 알칼리-탄산염 반응을 일으킬 수 있는 백운석이 많이 함유되어 있어 아스팔트 콘크리트용 골재로 이용하는 것이 타당할 것으로 판단된다. KB채석장에서 채취한 안구상 편마암과 SA 채석장에서 채취한 섬록암은 흑운모가 다량 함유되어 있어 콘크리트의 강도를 저하시킬 수 있기 때문에 콘크리트 용도로 사용하지 않는 것이 좋으나. HI 채석장에서 채취한 안구상 편마암과 홍천강변에서 채취한 편마암 등은 광물학적 및 역학적 특성 등을 고려할 때 어떠한 용도의 콘크리트용 골재로 사용하더라도 큰 문제가 없을 것으로 판단된다.

본 연구는 순환 굵은 골재의 함수상태가 콘크리트의 압축강도에 미치는 영향을 물/결합재 비와 양생 조건을 변수로 하여 평가하였다. 표건상태의 순환골재는 콘크리트의 강도발현을 저하시켰는데, 이는 순환골재의 높은 흡수율에 의한 표면수의 증가로 골재와 시멘트 페이스트 사이의 부착강도가 저하되었기 때문이다. 골재의 종류와 함수상태가 물/결합재 비의 변화에 따라 압축강도에 미치는 영향의 정도는 비슷하였다. 그러나 양생조건에 대해서는 골재의 종류에 따라 상당한 차이를 보였다. 대기양생을 시킨 경우 높은 흡수율을 가진 순환골재는 수화작용에 필요한 수분을 감소시키고, 수분증발을 증가시켜 강도발현을 저해하였다. 순환골재의 함수상태는 콘크리트의 압축강도에 상당한 영향을 줬으며, 순환골재콘크리트 생산시 골재의 흡수율에 따른 함수상태에 대한 관리가 필요하다. 또한 순환골재 콘크리트의 경우 적절한 품질관리를 위해 양생관리가 매우 중요하다.

In this study, the effect of two types of aggregates (fly ash aggregate and shale aggregate) on the density, strength, and durability of preplaced lightweight aggregate concrete (PLWAC) was studied. The results showed that the 7 - 28 days strength of concrete prepared with fly ash aggregates (high water absorption rate) significantly increased, which could attribute to the long-term water release of fly ash aggregates by the refined pore structure. In contrast, the strength increase of concrete prepared with shale aggregates (low water absorption rate) is not apparent. Although PLWAC prepared with fly ash aggregates has a lower density and higher strength (56.8 MPa @ 1600 kg/m³), the chloride diffusion coefficient is relatively high, which could attribute to the diffusion paths established by connected porous aggregates and the negative over-curing effect. Compared to the control group, the partial replacement of fly ash aggregates (30%) with asphalt emulsion (20% solid content) coated aggregates can reduce the chloride diffusion coefficient of concrete by 53.6% while increasing the peak load obtained in a three-point bending test by 107.3%, fracture energy by 30.3% and characteristic length by 103.5%. The improvement in concrete performance could be attributed to the reduction in the water absorption rate of aggregates and increased energy absorption by polymer during crack propagation.

인천광역시와 경기도에 소재한 레미콘 사업장을 대상으로 한 설문조사 결과를 기반으로 골재 운반거리 및 생산형태 분석을 수행하였으며, 골재 유통 특성과 현황을 해석하였다. 그 결과 수요지 도달거리가 20km 이내인 인천, 시흥, 부천, 김포, 시흥 지역은 생산과 타지역간 거래가 많은 양방향 유통형태를 가지며 20~50km인 파주, 용인, 양주, 포천 지역은 인천으로만 골재를 공급하는 단방향 유통형태를 나타내었다. 그리고 생산형태별 유통량 조사결과 인천지역에서 유통되는 자갈의 85% 이상이 건설현장에서 배출되는 암석으로 만든 부순골재로 공급망이 많이 편중된 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과들은 장기적으로 골재공급에 부정적인 영향을 줄 것으로 예상되며 적절한 골재 유통시장 형성을 위한 정책적 해결방안이 필요하다.

Several neurodegenerative diseases such as Huntington's disease, dentatorubralpallidoluysian atrophy, spinobulbar muscular atrophy, Machado-Joseph disease, and spinocerebellar ataxias type 1 are associated with the aggregation of expanded glutamine repeats within their proteins. Generally, in clinically affected individuals, the expansion of the polyglutamine sequences is beyond 40 residues. To address the length of polyglutamine that forms aggregation, we have constructed plasmids encoding glutathione S-transferase (GST) Machado-Joseph disease gene fusion proteins containing polyglutamine and investigated the formation of aggregates in E. coli. Surprisingly, even $(Gin)_8$, in the normal range as well as $(Gin)_{65}$ in the pathogenic range enhanced the formation of insoluble protein aggregates, whereas $(Ser)_8$, and $(Aia)_8$, did not form aggregates. Our results indicate that the formation of protein aggregates in GST-polyglutamine proteins is specifically mediated by the polyglutamine repeat sequence within their protein structure. Our study may contribute to the understanding of the molecular mechanism of the formation of protein aggregates in neurodegenerative disorders and the development of preventative strategies.

In the world total boron reserve rating, Turkey is taken place on the first rank, meeting the demand of refined mineral and main boron chemicals. Development of the new boron products and production technologies, spreading the using area of the boron are the study topics which must be finically discussed. In this study, with the help of colemanite taken in ratio as (0%, 7.5%, 12.5%, and 17.5%) by being mixed by the cement, surfaces of the pumice aggregates have been covered. Permeability of the samples has been investigated by producing lightweight concrete with 400 dose with the help of aggregates covered with colemanite. For this, the experiments of water absorption, capillary water absorption, depth of penetration of water under pressure and rapid chloride permeability have been performed. In addition, analyses of the thin section of covered and uncovered pumice aggregates and SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope) have been investigated. When the control samples produced with the covered aggregates and concretes produced with colemanite covered aggregates are compared each other, it has been determined that special lightweight concretes whose values of capillary water absorption experiment, depth of penetration of water under pressure experiment and rapid chloride permeability are low can be produced.

Accumulated annual reservoir sedimentation in Taiwan was 14.6 million m3 in 2010, seriously endangering reservoir safety and the water supply. In addition, the sintering temperature of reservoir-sediment aggregates (RSAs) is very high, and very energy consuming consequently. Therefore, to explore the effects of admixtures on sintering behavior and performance of the aggregates, two different admixtures are blended, waste-glass and municipal sewage sludge, into reservoir sediment to make artificial aggregates. Experimental results show that the lightweight characteristics of waste-glass/reservoir-sediment aggregates (WGRSAs) are more significant than those of sewage sludge/reservoir-sediment aggregates (SSRSAs). Moreover, as sintering temperature increases, the specific gravity of WGRSAs drops more apparently. The optimum sintering temperature of pure reservoir-sediment aggregates (PRSAs), SSRSAs, and WGRSAs was $1150^{\circ}C$, $1100^{\circ}C$, and $1050^{\circ}C$, respectively. The PRSAs are normal weight with better strength; the WGRSAs are lightweight and energy-saving; and the SSRSAs are lightweight with normal strength.
