In the last decade, the supply of natural aggregates has been continuously increased due to the other types of aggregates. In general, aggregates constitute 70-80% of the total volume of concrete, so the quality of aggregates is main factor controlling physical characteristics of concrete. For this reason, physical properties of aggregate according to different rock types were studied. The majority of crushed aggregates is taken out of granite, gneiss, sandstone, andesite, basalt and so forth. The physical properties of these rock types were tested and most of them fell within the acceptable limit on the base of Korean standard regulation. The major lithology of the crushed aggregates is granite and gneiss, both of which are marked for more than 50% of total lithology thpes in Korea. A to the physical properties of granite, the high specific gravity coincides with low porosity, low absorption ratio, while the abrasion and soundness index show, in general, no specific trend. It has been assumed that slight differences of the physical properties of granite aggregates are related with those of the mineral composition, grain size, and so on. In comparison to granite, the physical properties of gneiss have little correlation one after another. This trend is related to different mineral composition, grain size and typical sheet fractures typically prevailing in the texture of gneiss. Spatial pattern of physical properties shows that high specific gravity of granite coincides only with low porosity and absorption ratio in all provinces except Cheolla province, and high specific gravity of gneiss coincides with low porosity and absorption ratio only in Cheolla and Gandwon provinces.

The artificial aggregates with dense surface layer (shell) was fabricated and the dependence of water emission rate upon the shell structures was studied. The EAF dust containing many flux components and waste white clay with ignition loss of above 48% were used as for liquid phase and gas forming agents during a sintering process respectively. In addition, the shell structure was modified with various processes and the modification effect on water emission rate was analyzed. The pores under $10{\mu}m$ were found in the sintered artificial light aggregates and disappeared by incorporating to a bigger pore during re-sintering. The water emission rate in an initial step depended on a void content of aggregates filled in a bottle rather than a shell structure. But, after 7 days where the water emission of the aggregate with a shell is above 40%, the shell of aggregates suppressed the water emission. The core of aggregates was exposed and most shell was lost when crushed to smaller size so, the ability for suppressing water emission of the crushed aggregates decreased. The activation energy for the water emission was $3.46{\pm}0.25{\times}10^{-1}$J/mol for the most specimens showing that the activation energy is irrelevant to the pore size distribution and shell structure.

Roller Compacted Concrete (RCC) is a zero slump concrete consisting of a mixture of cementitious materials, sand, dense graded aggregates and water. In this study, an attempt has been made to investigate the effect of aggregate type on strength and abrasion resistance of RCC made by using granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS) as partial replacement of cement. Mix proportions of RCC were finalized based upon the optimum water content achieved in compaction test. Two different series of RCC mixes were prepared with two different aggregates: crushed gravel and limestone aggregates. In both series, cement was partially replaced with GGBS at a replacement level of 20%, 40% and 60%. Strength Properties and abrasion resistance of the resultant mixes was investigated. Abrasion resistance becomes an essential parameter for understanding the acceptability of RCC for rigid pavements. Experimental results show that limestone aggregates, with optimum percentage of GGBS, perform better in compressive strength and abrasion resistance as compared to the use of crushed gravel aggregates. Observed results are further supported by stoichiometric analysis of the mixes by using basic stoichiometric equations for hydration of major cement compounds.

In order to prevent environmental pollution, initiatives to increase the sustainability of resources are supported by society. However, the performance of recycled materials does not generally match that of natural materials. This study looks into the use of geogrid to improve various types of recycled aggregates. For this purpose, five different recycled aggregates were created by recycling wastes from the construction industry. Besides, direct shear tests (DS tests) were carried out on these recycled aggregates to determine their shear strengths. Following that, a triaxial geogrid was placed in the recycled aggregates to provide reinforcement, and the DS tests were conducted on the reinforced recycled aggregates. The results of the tests were also compared to those of tests performed on natural aggregates (NA). In conclusion, it was found that the recycled aggregates have lower shear strengths than the NA. Nonetheless, when reinforced with geogrid, the shear strength of the recycled concrete aggregates (RCA) and construction and demolition wastes (CDW) exceeded that of the NA. Furthermore, the geogrid reinforcement increased the shear strength of the recycled crushed bricks (CB), though not to the level of the NA.

Methods used to study carbon sequestration by soil aggregates have often excluded the concentric spatial variability and other dynamic processes that contribute to resource accessibility and solute transport within aggregates. We investigated the spatial gradients of carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) from the exterior to interior layers within macroaggregates, $6.3\sim9.5$ mm, sampled from conventional tillage (CT) and no tillage (NT) sites of a Hoytville silt clay loam. Spatial gradients in C accumulation within macroaggregates were related to the differences in C dynamics by determining the sizes and the turnover rates of fast C and slow C pools in the concentric layers of aggregates. Aggregate exteriors contained more labile C and were characterized by greater C mineralization rates than their interiors in both management systems. In contrast, C in the interior layers of aggregates was more resistant in both systems. These results indicated the spatial differentiation of C dynamics within macroaggregates, i.e., exterior layers as a reactive site and interior layers as a protective site. Greater total C distribution in the exterior layers of NT aggregates indicated more influx of C from the macropores in interaggregate space than C. mineralization (net gain of C), whereas lower C distribution within the exterior layers of CT aggregates indicated net loss of C by greater C mineralization than C influx. We found total C increased approximately 1.6-fold by the conversion of CT soils to NT management systems for a period of 36 years. Differences in total accumulation and the spatial distribution of C within aggregates affected by management were attributed to the differences in aggregate stability and pore networks controlling the spatial heterogeneities of resource availability and microbial activity within aggregates.

본 연구에서는 석탄 바닥재와 준설토(7 : 3, 무게비율)로 제조된 인공골재의 물성에 미치는 폐촉매 유리질 슬래그(이하 폐유리로 칭함) 첨가 영향을 평가하였다. 특히 인공골재의 비중 및 흡수율 결과를 미세구조와 연계하여 그 발포특성을 고찰하였다. $1050{\sim}1150^{\circ}C$ 범위 내에서 인공골재 비중은 소성온도와 함께 약간 증가되었으나 그 이상의 소성온도에서는 감소하여 발포경향을 나타내었다. 폐유리 첨가량이 증가할수록 인공골재의 발포특성은 억제되었으며, 비중은 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 한편 인공골재 흡수율은 소성온도의 증가와 함께 감소하였다. $1200^{\circ}C$ 이상의 소성온도에서 표면에 균열이 발생함과 동시에 다량의 액상이 형성되었으나, 이러한 현상들은 폐유리를 첨가함으로서 제어할 수 있었다. 본 연구에서 제조된 인공골재의 비중은 1.1~1.6, 흡수율은 8~22 % 범위값을 나타내어 인공경량골재의 KS 기준을 만족하였다.

콘크리트 구조물에 사용되는 골재의 화학적 안전성을 진단하는 방법 중의 하나인 암석기재학적 시험(ASTM C 295)에 관한 연구로서, 이 연구를 위하여 골재의 입도 분석, 피막 검사, 풍화 ·오염상태, 암석학적 기재, 그리고 알칼리-골재 반응성 광물 및 암석의 정성·정량적 분석을 실시하였다. 경남 울진군 매화천 유역 A, B 지역의 하천 골재에 대하여 암석기재학적 방법으로 검사한 결과 풍화상태는 F(신선) 등급과 WS(약간 풍화) 등급이며 골재의 피막과 오염 상태는 우려할 정도는 아니다. 알칼리-골재 반응 광물이나 구조적으로 취약한 암석이 함유된 골재는 매화천 A 지역 골재 전체의 26 wt.%, B 지역은 19 wt.%로 집계되는데 이는 양호한 골재로 볼 수 없기 때문에 화학적 방법과 몰탈바 방법으로 더욱 정밀한 시험을 거쳐 안전성이 확인되어야 한다.

본 연구에서는 순환골재 콘크리트의 품질안정화를 목표로 기술 개발한 골재 혼합설비를 활용하여 순환골재 및 천연골재를 사전 혼합하였으며, 생산 된 혼합골재를 적용하여 혼합 전과 혼합 후의 콘크리트 특성을 검토하였다. 이렇게 도출된 결과를 토대로 순환골재의 품질 안정화 및 사용 활성화를 위한 새로운 방향을 제시하고자 하였다. 골재 혼합 전 후에 따른 믹서로 비빈 굳지 않은 콘크리트 중의 모르타르와 굵은 골재량의 변화율 시험 결과 사전 골재 혼합 시 혼합 전 콘크리트 대비 모르타르 및 굵은 골재량의 편차가 줄어드는 것으로 확인되었다. 재령 3일과 재령 7일에서의 압축강도 편차 및 평균압축강도는 혼합 전 후 비슷한 결과를 나타냈으며, 28일 강도에서는 재령 3, 7일보다 혼합 전 후 강도 편차가 크게 발생했다. 사전 골재 혼합을 통한 혼합골재 사용 시 강도 편차가 줄어드는 것으로 확인되었으며, 사전 골재 혼합을 통한 혼합골재 사용 시 장기강도 발현이 유리할 것으로 사료된다. 위의 결과를 토대로 순환골재 및 천연골재 사전 혼합을 통해 생산된 혼합골재를 사용한 콘크리트 결과 굵은골재량, 압축강도 편차가 줄어드는 것으로 나타나 사전 골재혼합을 통해 균질한 콘크리트를 생산할 수 있는 것으로 판단된다. 이는 생산되는 순환골재 특성에 따라 천연골재와 사전 혼합을 통해 균질한 골재 특성을 맞춰 생산할 수 있으며, 순환골재의 문제점 중 하나인 품질편차를 해결할 방안으로 고려된다.

Condensation control of nano-particles has become important in order to fabricate minute condensed structures. In this study, we focus our attention on condensation mechanism of polymer aggregates in a resist film. The polymer aggregate is structural component of a resist material which is used in lithography process. The condensation nature of polymer aggregates in the resist film surface is observed by using atomic force microscope (AFM). By using the AFM, the condensation of polymer aggregates can be observed clearly. The condensation of polymer aggregate strongly affects to precise fabrication of resist pattern below 100nm size. The interaction force among polymer aggregates can be analyzed based on Derjaguin approximation. We also discuss about condensation nature of polymer aggregates in the resist film surface with the help of micro sphere model.
