  • According to the great city development and the rapid growth of redevelopment project, waste concrete emission has been increased. Waste concrete powder is one of the by-product originated from the recycling of the waste concrete. The more making high quality recycled aggregate to use aggregate for concrete, the more waste concrete powder is producted relatively. Therefore, to realize the total recycling of waste concrete, development of recycling technology for waste concrete powder need very much. This technical note present the discharged process and the various properties of waste concrete powder. As the results, on the average, the maximum particle-size of waste concrete powder is less than $600{\mu}m$, and oven-dry density is less than $2.5g/cm^3$. And waste concrete powder contains more than 50% of $SiO_2$, 30% of CaO and 10% of $Al_2O_3$. Thus qualities of waste concrete powder is lower than those of high quality raw material for concrete. However, if it is processed by grading to the purpose, it will be used as resource of raw materials for construction field.

  • Reduction of disposal of waste materials due to construction demolition has become a great concern in recent decades. The research work presents the hardened properties of concrete where the partial substitution of recycled coarse aggregate with natural aggregate in amount of 0%, 10%, 30% and 50%. By using different mixed proportions, fresh and hardened properties of concrete were conducted for this investigation. These properties were compared with control concrete. It can be seen that all of the hardened properties of concrete were decreased with the increasing percentage of recycled aggregate in concrete mixes. It was noticed that up to 30% recycled aggregate replacement can be yielded the optimum strength when it used in normal concrete. Finally, it can be said that disposed recycled concrete utilizing as a partial replacement in natural aggregate is a great way to reuse and reduce environmental hazards which achieve sustainability approach in the construction industry.

  • Dynamic compaction is an efficient ground improvement technique for loose soils and waste landfill. The improvement is obtained by controlled high energy tamping and its effects vary with the soil properties and energy input. This study demonstrated the application of dynamic compaction method for the improvement of waste landfill in construction site. Various tests and measurements such as standard penetration test, bore hole loading test, crater settlement, ground settlement, pore water pressure were peformed during dynamic compaction field test. From the field test results, the efficiency of dynamic compaction method for the improvement of waste landfill was proved.

  • The DDC(dynamic deep compection) was carried out the main method of ground improvement for construction of municipal high way. The project area is composed of the municipal waste dumped, demolished building debris, coal ash and industrial waste made between 1983 and 1989. From the result of fileld measurement, it was found that waste landfill was compressed considerably (15 ~ 20% of full depth), and the strength was increased satisfactorily(20 ~ 120% of original N-value, 55 ~ 230% of original dynamic cone penetration resistance). And the chemical inclination of the municipal waste landfill was analyzed for expection and control of settlement.

  • Today's human life is more conveniently advantaged and abundant as industrial society advanced. However, the development has been creating a serious environmental crisis. Environmental pollution and exhaustion of natural resources recently became an important issue in construction industry as well as the concern about construction waste management and recycling the resources has arisen. Because the industrial wastes are not only increased quantitatively but also qualitatively intricate and various, groping for ways of reducing the use of resources primarily and recycling is urged on promotion. Currently, only about 33% of the wood wastes produced in construction site are recycled and the others are incinerated or disposed through irregular circulation process. In this study, I will investigate the present status of generating, processing, and recycling construction wood wastes and compare domestic disposal trend to other countries. In addition, I will analyze the actual condition of processing wood wastes in the construction site, verify the irrational causes, and simplify anomalous factors for the purpose of more efficient and correct activation of wood waste treatment and recycling on construction field and protection of environment in the long run.

  • The construction wastes have been enormously increased after 90's, but construction wastes have depended on reclamation, therefore the environmental disruption and contamination are getting in the hot issue of society and in controversy with residents. With the consequence that indicates a substitute about an application of construction waste units is the most important thing for studying construction wates of quantity when the construction units are demolished. Nowadays, the area under the housing environment amelioration policies is getting rapidly old, then it is beyond anticipating reconstruction. Likewise, it is common when the process of construction wastes make progress to investigate uneconomically in point of facts, therefore to derive economical effects using construction wastes units should be urgent as soon as possible. In conclusion, the purpose of this study offers the variety of construction wastes and process of treatments, comparison of which the construction is demolished and economical effects of application of construction units.
