This study is to investigate the insulation performance of lightweight concrete using recycled lightweight aggregate, to develop lightweight concrete products which have an excellence on the insulation performance are satisfied with properties of building materials. As a result of this study, recycled EPS aggregate is considered to have an independent pores which is closed by dense partitions. So, it is showed that the insulation performance of lightweight concrete using recycled EPS aggregate are excellent. Especially, in the case of lightweight concrete under conditions of replacement ratio over 100%, it is considered that insulation performance is very excellent as thermal conductivity is showed about 0.2kcal/mh$^{\circ}C$. According to considering the relation between ultrasonic pulse velocity, unit weight and thermal conductivity through the graph, the result of relation between ultrasonic pulse velocity, unit weight and thermal conductivity on the graph expressed their high interaction shown as direct proportion on the graph. So that it is possible to extract the insulation performance of lightweight concrete using recycled EPS aggregate by ultrasonic pulse velocity and unit weight.

We used a construction method using a CNC milling machine, where free-formed molds were made by cutting EPS (Expanded PolyStyrene) foam with the CNC machine, to build free-formed buildings. CNC milling is off-the-shelf technology that can easily cut EPS foam; however its production cost is too high and the time to manufacture an EPS mold is too long. This paper proposes a novel cutting machine with a fast and cost effective mechanism to manufacture EPS concrete molds. Our machine comprises a cutter and Cartesian coordinate type moving mechanism, where the cutter cuts EPS foam using a hotwire in the shape of '$\sqcap$' and is capable of adjusting its cutting angle in real-time while keeping its cutting width. We proved through cutting experiments on the CNC machine that cutting time was greatly shortened compared to the conventional method and that the resulting concrete mold satisfied manufacturing precision.

This experimental study examines the applicability of polymer mortar permanent forms using a methyl methacrylate (MMA) solution of waste expanded polystyrene (EPS) to develop effective recycling processes for the EPS, referring to the flexural behavior of a polymer-impregnated mortar permanent form with almost the same performance as commercial products. An MMA solution of EPS is prepared by dissolving EPS in MMA, and unreinforced and steel fiber-reinforced polymer mortars are mixed using the EPS-MMA-based solution as a liquid resin or binder. Polymer mortar permanent forms (PMPFs) using the EPS-MMA-based polymer mortars without and with steel fiber and crimped wire cloth reinforcements and steel fiber-reinforced polymer-impregnated mortar permanent form (PIMPF) are prepared on trial, and tested for flexural behavior under four-point (third-point) loading. The EPS-MMAbased PMPFs are more ductile than the PIMPF, and have a high load-bearing capacity. Consequently, they can replace PIMPF in practical applications.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the setting properties of polystyrene mortars using waste expanded polystyrene(EPS) solution-based binders. The binders for polystyrene mortars are made by mixing crosslinking agent with waste EPS solutions which prepared by dissolving EPS in styrene. Polystyrene mortars are prepared with various EPS concentrations of EPS solutions and crosslinking agent contents, subjected to a dry curing, and tested for working life, peak exotherm temperature and 10h-length change. From the test results, the working lives of polystyrene mortars are shortened with raising EPS concentration of EPS solution and crosslinking agent content. Low-shrinkage or non-shrinkage of polystyrene mortars should be accomplished by adjusting EPS concentration of EPS solution and crosslinking agent content.

Research for heat insulation of buildings is being carried out, in which a heat exchange barrier is used around the openings and balcony parts as a method for heat exchange blocks. However, the preparation for a fire is inadequate. In order to improve the EPS used as a heat exchange barrier in an attempt to solve this, there is a study on lightweight foamed concrete, but as the amount of EPS used for strengthening fire resistance increases, it becomes lower. There is no strength applied to buildings, and also. There is a limit to the amount of EPS used. In the study, we use oyster shells to secure the EPS replacement rate limit of lightweight Foamed concrete, and try to measure the change of physical properties depending on the unit cement content.

Fire doors installed to prevent the spread of fire in buildings are made of paper honeycomb, glass wool, and other materials. Due to their high water absorption rate, they absorb ambient moisture and degrade, and their increased weight causes them to sag internally, creating voids that can warp in the event of a fire and allow flames to pass through. To overcome these issues, research is being conducted on the physical performance of lightweight aerated concrete. However, there is a lack of research on how to ensure fire resistance. Therefore, in this study, the backside temperature of lightweight aerated concrete formulations was measured and compared and analyzied with the physical performance. Since it is difficult to achieve low density by saturation alone, aerated concrete with EPS was produced, which resulted in a density reduction of 24'26%, but the strength increase per unit cement increase was 5'25%, which tended to be lower than the formulation without EPS. The results showed that the lightweight aerated concrete with EPS was 130~140℃ lower than the lightweight aerated concrete with EPS, which is believed to be due to the melting point of EPS delayed the heat diffusion. In the future, wo plan to conduct research to identify the optimal formulation for fire door core materials by varying the amount of EPS added and using industrial by-products to increase long-term strength.

본 연구는 기존 경량기포콘크리트의 문제점 및 역학적 성질의 개선을 위하여 산업폐기물인 폐스티로폼의 가공형태를 달리하여 기포콘크리트를 제조하고 그 역학적 특성의 변화를 구명해 봄으로써 현장타설 기포콘크리트의 효과적인 품질관리를 위한 자료를 제공하고, 현장 작업자에게 필요한 실험값을 제공하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 폐스티로폼은 지름이 3~5mm의 둥근형태를 유지한 것(Type A)과 1~2mm의 작게 파쇄한 것(Type B)을 사용하여 그 역학적 특성 변화를 고찰하였으며, 연구결과 Type A의 경우 흡수율의 개선과 경량성 및 단열성 향상에 유리한 것으로 나타났으며, Type B의 경우는 높은 압축강도를 나타내나 겉보기 비중이 증가하고 Type A에 비하여 플로우, 흡수율, 단열성에서 Type A보다 낮은 성능을 나타냈다. 그러나 이러한 결과로부터 폐스티로폼의 가공형태에 따른 것으로 폐스티로폼을 사용하지 않은 것보다는 적당량을 혼입하여 사용하는 것이 현장타설 기포콘크리트의 물리적 성능을 향상시키는데 효과적임을 알 수 있었다. 결과적으로 폐스티로폼을 사용하여 현장타설 기포콘크리트를 제조할 경우 산업폐기물의 재활용이라는 측면과 함께 보다 우수한 성능의 기포콘크리트 생산이 가능함을 확인하였다.

The purpose of study is to develope for lightweight concrete panel which have high quality with insulation performance of sound. The use of lightweight concrete products has been increased at a recently high structures. Also, the gathering of nature aggregate is limited, so that lack of fine aggregate is appearing. Statistical analysis is practiced on the properties of EPS concrete according to the variation of mix design. As a result saturated density is affected by amount of Bottom ash.Also compressive strength is affected by W/B ratio at the early age and amount of Bottom ash at the latter age.

Light-Weight Concrete containing Expanded Poly-Styrene Beads (EPS-LWC) is an approved structural and non-structural material characterized by a considerably lower density and higher structural efficiency, compared to concrete containing ordinary aggregates. The experimental campaign carried out in this project provides new information on the mechanical properties of structural EPS-LWC, with reference to the strength and tension (by splitting and in bending), the modulus of elasticity, the stress-strain curve in unconfined compression, the absorbed energy under compression and reinforcement-concrete bond. The properties measured at seven ages since casting, from 3 days to 91 days, in order to investigate their in-time evolution. Mathematical relationships are formulated as well, between the previous properties and time, since casting. The dependence of the compressive strength on the other mechanical properties of EPS-LWC is also described through an empirical relationship, which is shown to fit satisfactorily the experimental results.

발포폴리스티렌(EPS)의 효율적인 재활용 기술개발의 일환으로서 폐 발포폴리스티렌을 중합성 모노머인 스티렌에 용해한 고분자 용액에 가교제, 개시제, 촉진제 등을 첨가하여 상온 중합성 결합재를 개발하였으며 이를 이용한 폴리스티렌 모르타르를 제조하여 그 중요한 경화특성인 사용가능시간, 건조양생재령에 따른 발열온도 및 길이변화 거동에 미치는 폐 발포폴리스티렌 용액농도 및 TMPTMA 첨가량의 영향에 대해서 검토하였다. EPS용액을 이용한 결합재 및 폴리스티렌 모르타르의 사용가능시간은 EPS용액 농도 및 TMPTMA 첨가율의 증가에 따라서 짧아지며, 또한 폴리스티렌 모르타르의 경화에 따른 길이변화는 EPS용액 농도 및 TMPTMA 첨가율에 크게 영향을 받는데 이를 적절히 조절하여 경화특성을 제어함으로써 저수축 혹은 무수축 폴리스티렌 모르타르의 제조가 가능하다는 것을 검증하고 있다.
