Recently, the river sands are in short supply. Gathering sea-sand will be faced with difficulty. Alternative aggregates for concrete are estimated by many researchers. The aggregates are blast furnace slag, steel slag, copper slag, ferro-nickel slag and recycled aggregate and etc. Nevertheless steel slag has been limited in practical use due to its expansibility which is occurred reaction with water and free CaO in slag. Most recently stable management method is to minimize the expansibility researched and developed. First of all, slump, air content, compressive strength and flexural strength are measured in concrete. An estimate is made of the segregation of concrete containing atomized steel slag by Image Analyser program.

As part of a fundamental study on the volume reduction of contaminated concrete wastes, the separation characteristics of the aggregates and the distribution of the radioactivity in the aggregates were investigated. Radioisotope $^{60}Co$ was artificially used as a model contaminant for non-radioactive crushed concrete waste. Volume reduction for radioactively contaminated dismantled concrete wastes was carried out using activated heavy weight concrete taken from the Korea Research Reactor 2 (KRR-2) and light weight concrete from the Uranium Conversion Plant (UCP). The results showed that most of the $^{60}Co$ nuclide was easily separated from the contaminated dismantled concrete waste and was concentrated mainly in the porous fine cement paste. The heating temperature was found to be one of the effective parameters in the removal of the radionuclide from concrete waste. The volume reduction rate achieved was above 80% for the KRR-2 concrete wastes and above 75% for the UCP concrete wastes by thermal and mechanical treatment.

Blast furnace slag is one kind of industrial by-product and was utilized with recycled fine aggregates for the manufacture of zero cement mortar. As the blast furnace slag was from different areas, the strength of the specimen using blast furnace slag showed different performances. In this study, blast furnace slag generated in different areas in Korea has been chosen, fundamental performances of the blast furnace slag blended mortar has been tested to evaluate the quality of the blast furnace slag. Results showed that difference for flowability is limited. As the alkali activation of the blast furnace slag, the compressive strength showed different results. The flexural strength showed little difference when the aggregates and types of blast furnace slag changed.

This paper presents coal mine waste (CMW) for use in concrete manufacture as a replacement of normal aggregates. The CMW in this study was collected from Sabook, Jungson-kun, Kangwon-do. Fine and coarse asggregates from CMW were prepared by crushing it in a jaw crusher and separating debris with #4 sieve. CMW aggregates showed good physical and mechanical properties with having specific gravity over 2.65, absorption less than 1%, and abration ratio below 20%, but particle shape of CMW was long or flat, which caused a poor workability in mixing. Therefore, to make workability better, a 1/4 of CMW coarse aggregate was replaced with normal aggregate which had a good particle shape, and a superplasticizer was added to the mix. Compressive strength and other mechanical properties of CMW concrete was very good. In conclusion, characteristics of CMW concrete was acceptable for use as a concrete structural material.

This study dealt with the properties for fly ash of combined heat power plant and application for concrete industry. For this purpose, fly ash of ulsan combined heat power plant was analyzed for physical and chemical properties and tested the properties of the super flowing concrete. As results of fly ash, contents of SiO2 and Al2O3 in the fly ash of Ulsan were less than those of thermal power plant(Boryung), but contents of CaO were ten times as much as those of Boryung. In order to satisfy the properties of the Super Flowing Concrete using class C fly ash, mixing conditions were determined the optimum water-binder(w/b), volume ratio of fine aggregates(Sr) and coarse aggregates(Gv).

This study dealt with the flowing properties of the super flowing concrete for class F fly ash producted thermal power plant and the application for concrete industry. For this purpose, fly ash is analyzed for confined water ratio($\beta_p$)and the super flowing concrete is tested the flowing properties including flowing velocity, funneling time, height difference of box test and compressive strength. As the result, in order to satisfy the flowing properties of the super flowing concrete using class F fly ash, the optimum mixing conditions are determined water-bindrer ratio 37$\pm$2%, volume ratio of fine aggregates(Sr) 47$\pm$2% and coarse aggregates(Gv) 51$\pm$1%.

As this study is to test effects of sulfate attack on deterioration of concrete using in crushed aggregates. Besides tests have been carried out with concrete by river sand and crushed sand by fine sand, concrete mixes various proportions of slica fume and fly ash(up to 15$\%$ by weight fo cement) were prepared and immersed in pure water, sodium sulfate solution for 28 and 60days. Test on the change in the weight and compressive strength of concrete according to the duration of immersion time and the content of slica fume and fly ash was performed.

In this paper, the mix design of the super flowing concrete is described with respcet to basic concept, confined water ratio($\beta_p$), volume ratio of water-binder(w/b), volume ratio of fine aggregates($S_r$) and coarse aggregates($G_v$). The primary purposes of this study are to evaluate the effects of cementitious materials(fly ash, slag cement, portland cement), mixing factors ($\beta_p$, w/b, $S_r$, $G_v$)., and to propose the mix design method of the super flowing concrete. As results of this study, confined water ratio($\beta_p$) of cementitious materials is very high (0.99~1.1), and then the ranges of the optimum mixing factors to be satisfied with the super flowing concrete are $S_r$ 47$\ell$ 2%, $G_v$ 52$\ell$ 1%.

The properties of recycled fine aggregates which had different source concrete were examined by mortar test. With higher strength of source concrete, specific gravity of recycled fine aggregate was higher and absorption of recycled fine aggregate was lower due to reduction of the volume of adhered cement paste. The compressive strength and flexible strength of mortar with recycled fine aggregate were affected by the interface boundary of new mortar and the strength of adhered mortar. Strength development of mortar with recycled fine aggregate reduced because recycled fine aggregate become a porous material with the smaller strength of source concrete. The drying shrinkage of mortar was about$800{\sim}2000{\mu}m/m$. It was about 1.5 times than that of mortar with natural fine aggregate. Relative dynamic modulus of elasticity was a similar level with that of mortar with natural fine aggregate.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the sulfate attack resistance of concrete using the EAF(electric arc furnace) Slag as fine aggregate. In order to figure out the effects of magnesium sulfate solution on the durability of concrete using the EAF Slag as fine aggregate, the experiments for the immerging test in the 10% magnesium sulfate solution was executed by selecting factors such as aging processes, replacement ratio(0, 10, 20, 30, 50%), and duration of immerging. The specimens were made with various EAF slag replacements for fine aggregates and with W/C ratio fixed 0.45. compressive strength and S.D.F(Sulfate Deterioration Factor), weight change, and SEM(Scanning Electron Microscope) were tested. From the test results, EAF slag aggregate treated with accelerated aging is better than treated with air aging. The compressive strength and resistance to the sulfate attack is slightly improved with an increase in the EAF slag aggregate treated with accelerated aging replacement for aggregate.
