한국원자력환경공단에서는 국내 경수로 원전에서 발생된 사용후핵연료를 건식으로 저장할 수 있는 콘크리트 용기를 개발하였다. 본 저장용기는 사용후핵연료가 건식환경에서 장기간 저장되는 동안 용기 및 사용후핵연료의 건전성이 유지되며, 방사선량률이 저장시설의 설계기준을 초과하지 않도록 설계되어야 한다. 특히, 저장시설은 정상 및 사고조건에서 적절한 방사선 방호를 위한 차폐설계가 이루어져야 한다. 이를 위해 본 연구에서는 미국 10CFR72 및 10CFR20의 기술기준과 NRC의 표준 심사지침 NUREG-1536에서 제시한 평가방법에 따라 건식저장조건하에서 단일 콘크리트용기 및 $2{\times}10$ 용기배열조건의 선량율을 평가하였다. 평가결과, 일반인에 대한 연간선량 한도인 0.25 mSv를 만족하는 통제구역 경계까지의 거리는 약 230 m로 도출되었다. 콘크리트 저장용기의 설계사고는 $2{\times}10$ 배열의 저장시설에서 한 개의 저장용기가 이송 중 전도사고가 발생하여 용기의 바닥면이 통제구역 경계로 향하는 상황으로 가정하였다. 전도된 저장용기의 바닥면으로 부터 100 m 및 230 m 지점에서 각각 12.81 mSv 및 1.28 mSv로 평가되었다. 본 연구를 통해 건식저장조건에서 콘크리트 저장용기 및 저장시설은 적절하게 평가된 통제구역경계까지의 거리가 확보된다면 방사선적 안전성이 유지됨을 확인할 수 있었다. 본 평가결과만으로 건식환경의 저장용기(시설) 설계에 직접 적용하기는 어렵겠으나, 향후 '국가 고준위폐기물 관리 전략'에 근거한 원전내 저장시설 또는 중간저장 시설의 설계 및 운영에 유용한 자료가 될 것으로 사료된다.

최근 들어 급격한 자동차의 증가와 함께 발생되는 폐타이어는 관리에 많은 어려움이 있다. 현재 유일한 처리방법으로는 소각처리뿐인데 이 또한 유독 가스를 배출하기 때문에 환경적으로 악영향을 끼칠 수 있어 사용이 곤란하다. 이러한 난처리성 폐기물인 폐타이어는 뚜렷한 대안 없이 방치되어 경관을 해치고 미관상 위협감을 줄 수 있다. 이렇게 환경적 미관적으로 악영향을 미치고 있는 폐타이어를 재활용하는 방안으로 폐타이어 내부에 콘크리트를 채워 구조적 강도를 확보하여 건설자재로 활용하면 내부 콘크리트를 보호할 수 있고 다양한 형태로 제작 가능하여 여러 방면에 적용할 수 있는 재료로 활용할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 먼저 폐타이어 콘크리트 블록의 사용 가능성을 검토하기 위해 강도 시험을 실시하였고 적용 분야와 적용방법을 검토해 보았다. 본 연구에서 제시한 적용 분야로는 사면안정 공법, 운하건설, 해안 접안시설, 도로 교통안전 시설물, 교량공 교각 및 기초 등이 있다. 이러한 공법으로 폐타이어를 재활용하여 실제 건설 현장에 적용한다면, 자원 재활용이 가능하고 2차 환경오염 등에 따른 비용절감은 물론 소각시 발생할 수 있는 대기오염 방지 및 환경친화적인 경제 부가가치를 창출할 수 있을 것이다.

Construction development and greenhouse gas emissions have globally required a strategic management to take some steps to stain and maintain the environment. Nowadays, recycled aggregates, in particular ceramic waste, have been widely used in concrete structures due to the economic and environmentally friendly solution, requiring the knowledge of recycled concrete. Also, one of the materials used as a substitute for concrete cement is wollastonite mineral to decrease carbon dioxide (CO2) from the cement production process by reducing the concrete consumption in concrete. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of wollastonite on the mechanical properties and durability of conventional composite concrete, containing recycled aggregates such as compressive strength, tensile strength (Brazilian test), and durability to acidic environment. On the other hand, in order to determine the strength and durability of the concrete, 5 mixing designs including different wollastonite values and recovered aggregates including constant values have been compared to the water - cement ratio (w/c) constant in all designs. The experimental results have shown that design 5 (containing 40% wollastonite) shows only 6.1% decrease in compressive strength and 4.9% decrease in tensile strength compared to the control plane. Consequently, the use of wollastonite powder to the manufacturing of conventional structural concrete containing recycled ceramic aggregates, in addition to improving some of the properties of concrete are environmentally friendly solutions, providing natural recycling of materials.

As the notion of environment protection changes throughout the world, construction engineers, as part of the effort to resolve environmental problems, have been actively doing research on environmental friendly porous concrete using large and non-uniform aggregate. Concrete having a great deal of continuous porosity enable water and air to pass freely through firmly hardened material, allowing necessary nutrients to reach roots of vegetation, thereby sustaining them. It is possible to prevent the exhaustion of natural resources by recycling waste concrete and industrial by-products, to reduce damage caused by the destruction of nature through effective management of natural resources, to preserve the natural environment and vegetation in urban areas by activating the soil, protecting the underground ecology system, and growing garden plants through the application of environmentally friendly concrete.

Recycling concrete construction waste is an encouraging step toward green and sustainable building. A lot of research has been done on recycled aggregate concretes (RACs), but not nearly as much has been done on concrete made with recycled aggregate. Recycled aggregate concrete, on the other hand, has been found to have a lower mechanical productivity compared to conventional one. Accurately estimating the mechanical behavior of the concrete samples is a most important scientific topic in civil, structural, and construction engineering. This may prevent the need for excess time and effort and lead to economic considerations because experimental studies are often time-consuming, costly, and troublous. This study presents a comprehensive data-mining-based model for predicting the splitting tensile strength of recycled aggregate concrete modified with glass fiber and silica fume. For this purpose, first, 168 splitting tensile strength tests under different conditions have been performed in the laboratory, then based on the different conditions of each experiment, some variables are considered as input parameters to predict the splitting tensile strength. Then, three hybrid models as GWO-RF, GWO-MLP, and GWO-SVR, were utilized for this purpose. The results showed that all developed GWO-based hybrid predicting models have good agreement with measured experimental results. Significantly, the GWO-RF model has the best accuracy based on the model performance assessment criteria for training and testing data.

우리나라 사업장 폐기물의 51.7%에 해당되는 47,294천톤이 건설폐기물이고, 이 폐기물의 96.7%가 재활용되는 것으로 집계되어 있다. 한편 고품질 순환골재의 생산을 일부기업에서 시도하고 있으나, 천연골재를 대체하기에는 아직 미급한 것 같다. 우리나라의 경우 혼합폐기물의 정의가 애매하여, 혼합폐기물의 선별자원화가 매우 부실하다. 폐목재의 경우 PB(particle board)용으로 수요가 많으나, 현장에서 폐목재의 수집이 쉽지 않다. 2005년 대형국책과제를 수행하는 $\ulcorner$건설폐기물재활용연구단$\lrcorner$이 발족하였다. (사)한국자원리싸이클링 학회지에 게재된 건설폐기물 관련 보문은 주가 폐기물을 이용해서 건설자재로 재활용하는 것에 관한 것이었다.

PURPOSES : The new waste management policy of South Korea encourages the recycling of waste materials. One material being recycled currently is tire-derived fuel (TDF) ash. TDF is composed of shredded scrap tires and is used as fuel in power plants and industrials plants, resulting in TDF ash, which has a chemical composition similar to that of the fly ash produced from coal. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the properties of an asphalt concrete mix that used TDF ash as the mineral filler. METHODS : The properties of the asphalt concrete were evaluated for different mineral filler types and contents using various measurement techniques. The fundamental physical properties of the asphalt concrete specimens such as their gradation and antistripping characteristics were measured in accordance with the KS F 3501 standard. The Marshall stability test was performed to measure the maximum load that could be supported by the specimens. The wheel tracking test was used to evaluate the rutting resistance. To investigate the moisture susceptibility of the specimens, dynamic immersion and tensile strength ratio (TSR) measurements were performed. RESULTS : The test results showed that the asphalt concrete containing TDF ash satisfied all the criteria listed in the Guide for Production and Construction of Asphalt Mixtures (Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, South Korea). In addition, TDF ash exhibited better performance than that of portland cement. The Marshall stability of the asphalt concrete with TDF ash was higher than 7500 N. Further, its dynamic stability was also higher than that listed in the guide. The results of the dynamic water immersion and the TSR showed that TDF ash shows better moisture resistance than does portland cement. CONCLUSIONS : TDF ash can be effectively recycled by being used as a mineral filler in asphalt, as it exhibits desirable physical properties. The optimal TDF ash content in asphalt concrete based on this study was determined to be 5%. In future works, the research team will compare the characteristics of asphalt concrete as function of the mineral filler types.

Use of recycled aggregates in portland cement concrete construction can offer benefits associated with both economy and sustainability. Testing performed to date indicates that RBMA can be used as a 100% replacement for conventional coarse aggregate in concrete that exhibits acceptable mechanical properties for use in structural and pavement elements, including satisfactory performance in some durability tests. RBMAC is currently not used in any type of construction in the United States. However, use of RBMAC could become a viable construction strategy as sustainable building practices become the norm. Rating systems such as LEED offer points for reuse of building materials (particularly on-site) and use of recycled materials. If renovations at an existing facility call for the demolition of existing brick masonry constructions, the rubble could be included as RBMA in new concrete pavement, sidewalks, or curb and gutter. Other potential uses for RBMAC could include those in the precast concrete industry, particularly in architectural precast concrete applications. In addition to providing acceptable strength and economy, the color of RBMA could be an attractive component of architectural precast concrete panels or other façade components. This paper explores the feasibility of use of RBMAC in several types of sustainable construction initiatives, based upon the findings of previous work with RBMAC produced from construction and demolition waste from a case study site. Guidance for obtaining and using RBMA is presented, along with a summary of material properties of RBMAC that will be useful to construction professionals.

This work is conducted with the aim of using waste material to reserve the natural resources. The objective is accomplished by conducting experimentation and verify by modeling based on fuzzy logic. In experimentation, concrete is casted by using natural/river sand as fine aggregate and termed as control specimen. Natural sand is conserved by replacing it with used foundry sand (UFS) by an amount of 10, 20 and 30% by weight. Fresh and hardened properties of concrete are investigated at different ages. It is observed that compressive strength and modulus of elasticity reduced with the increase in amount of UFS. Furthermore, concrete compressive strength is predicted by using fuzzy logic model and verified at different replacement ratio and age with experimental observations.
