Recently, the use of crushed sand produced by the crushing of stone is continuously increasing to reach an utilization rate of about 20% of the whole fine aggregates that is foreseen to grow larger in the future. However, the lack of recognition concerning quality during the production of crushed sand results in the use of crushed sand that do not satisfy the KS F 2527 standard during the manufacture of concrete. And, studies investigating the effects of such crushed sand on concrete are still neglected. Therefore, this study intends to provide data that can be exploited for concrete using crushed sand through the analysis of the effects of the grain shape of crushed sand on the quality of concrete. Results revealed problems in the workability, air entraining and durability for a value of 53% for the solid volume percentage for shape determination specified by the current KS F 2527. Analysis showed that the adjustment of the solid volume percentage for shape determination from the currently specified 53% to 55% will improve the quality of concrete using crushed sand in high strength concrete particularly.

In this study, basic physical tests and mechanical tests of crushed rock were performed in order to investigate the field application of crushed rock as substitute materials of sand that is commonly being used as foundation and backfill materials of sewer conduit. Particle-size distribution curve of crushed rock is similar to sand and also it is well-graded soil than common sand. Maximum dry unit weight in proctor compaction test for crushed rock is higher than the values of common sand. So we can estimate that the crushed rock has advantages in workability than sand for the backfill compaction after construction of sewer conduit. When we investigate the results of direct shear test and triaxial compression test on the crushed rock, it has a similar value of shear strength parameters to sand at the same stress state and as time goes by, it tends to increase the unconfined compression strength. But, because the strength reaches at the constant value after 6~7 days, we expect that it can absorb the lateral strain of flexible conduit well. All the above experimental results just proves that crushed rock can substitute for sand as backfill materials and foundation of sewer conduit.

This study is aimed for investigating a decision of the saturated surface dry of crushed stone sand and measuring the moisture with increasing percentage of VFS(Very Fine Sand) replacement each crushed stone sand. The results indicated that moisture of crushed stone sand is generally increased with increasing percentage of VFS replacement and the rate of increase of moisture is about 30% every time that VFS replacement increases 3.5%. Also the saturated surface dry for crushed stone sane is proposed as a point of time where shape of flow-cone first slumps in this paper.

In this study, three kinds of fine aggregate (river sand, sea sand, crushed sand) were used and four different s/a (38%, 40%, 42%, 45%) were applied separately to this experimental for get the conclusion written below. Regardless of kinds of fine aggregate and casting-curing condition, maximum unit weight is seen at 40% of s/a and also to be seen in case of crushed sand. It's for that specific gravity of crushed sand is bigger comparatively than river sand and sea snad's one. Compressive strength is measured river sand, crushed sand, sea sand by order of size ; Regardless of variation of s/3, casting-curing condition and age. Compressive strength recorded maximum when s/a is 42% whatever sort of fine aggregate are. As the result, according to references, the optimum s/a of underwater antiwashout concrete is 40% but in this study, from compressive strength of view, the optimum s/a of underwater antiwashout concrete is 42%.

This paper investigates the influence of fine aggregates on bleeding of concrete. According to test results, as water content decreases, crushed sand content increases, fluidity shows decline tendency. As for aggregates kinds, concrete using sea sand shows most fluidity loss among the tested results. Compressive strength gains highly when crushed sand is used. As for bleeding of concrete, bleeding shows decline tendency because of increasing in powder content and filling effect of voids. Bleeding amount is in a decreasing order of magnitude for concretes made with the following aggregates: sea sand, river sand, and crushed sand. Accordingly, crushed sand mixed with river sand and sea sand with certain proportion enable to reduce bleeding and enhance strength.

The amount used of aggregates for concrete is increasing rapidly since the mid-1980s in Korea. The natural gravels from river are already displaced with crushed stone, and use of crushed sand as a substitute of natural river sands, also, is getting increased day by day. This paper is presented fur analysis on mechanical properties of high strength concrete using fly ash and crushed sand. The material functions in mixing design of concretes are various water-cement ratios(w/c) such as 0.25, 0.40, 0.55 and different replacement ratio of crushed sand to natural sands such as 0%, 20%, 40%, 60%. As a results, it has been shown that compressive strengths of concretes with W/C lower than 0.40 and 0.25 are higher than 400 kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$ and 600 kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$ respectively. It is also concluded that the results of rapid chloride permeability tests of concrete are evaluated to negligible. The conclusions of this study is that it is possible to use fly ash and crushed sand fur high strength concrete.

This paper is interested in the incorporation of crushed sand and desert sand in the composition the self compacting concretes (SCC). Desert dune sand, which has a fine extra granulometry, and the crushed sand, which contains an important content of fines, can constitute interesting components for SCC. Part II consists in studying the behaviour of SCC containing various sands with different origins. These sands, with different sizes, consist of several combinations of rolled sand (RS), crushed sand (CS) and desert sand (DS). The study examines the influence of the granular combination of sands on the characteristics in the fresh and the hardened state of SCC. The results of the experimental tests showed an improvement of the workability of the fresh SCC by combining sands of varied granulometry. The addition of the DS to CS or to RS allowed the increase of the mixture viscosity but decreased the mechanical strengths. Furthermore, the CS-RS combinations increased the compressive and the tensile strengths of the studied SCC. The optimized formulations of sands gave the highest performances of the SCC.

This study, as a research for using crushed sand as a fine aggregate of concrete for nuclear structures, we improved the performance of impact crusher in the existing crushed sand production process and adjusted grain size to conform to ASTM C 33 The shape and grain size characteristics of a crushed sand were examined and concrete was prepared according to the substitution ratio of the sand to investigate the properties of fresh concrete and hardened concrete. The experimental results show that most of the concrete characteristics are equivalent to those of concrete using only heavy sand. However, when the substitution rate of steel sand exceeds 50%, the amount of air, compressive strength and tensile strength are somewhat reduced.

Portland cement concrete is made with coarse aggregate, fine aggregate, portland cement, water and, in some cases, selected chemical admixture such as air-entraining agents, water reducer, superplasticizer, and so on, and mineral admixture such as fly ash, silica fume, slags, etc. Typically, in the concrete, the coarse aggregate and fine aggregate will occupy approximately 80 percent of the total volume of the finished mixture. Therefore, the coarse and fine aggregates affect to the properties of the portland cement concrete. As the deposits of natural sands have slowly been depleted, it has become necessary and economical to produce crushed sand(manufactured fine aggregate). It is reported that crushed sand differs from natural sands in gradation, particle shape and texture, and that the content of micro fines in the crushed sand affect to the quality of the portland cement concrete. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to investigate the characteristics of fresh and hardened concrete with higher micro fines. This study provides a firm data to apply crushed sand with higher micro fines.
