The coarse and fine aggregates that make up the majority of concrete are resources. But, the raw naturals that make up concrete are our earth's resources and there is not a replenishable stock. Also industrial waste and life waste leaped into a pollution source. Therefore, as construction continue, quarries are exhausted and new sources must be discovered. The purpose of this paper is to investigate an application of recycled coal ash plastics in the construction field. The study examined the physical and mechanical properties of recycled coal ash plastics aggregate. In the results, although the absorption and specific gravity of SLAs increases slightly as the fly ash content increases, the compressive strength and modulus of elastic of concrete made with SLAs remains relatively constant when mortar type and volume fraction are also held constant. These values are always lower than natural-weight aggregate concretes.

In this paper, the flexural strength ($f_{fs}$) and splitting tensile strength ($f_{sts}$) of concrete containing different proportions of fly ash have been modeled by using gene expression programming (GEP). Two GEP models called GEP-I and GEP-II are constituted to predict the $f_{fs}$ and $f_{sts}$ values, respectively. In these models, the age of specimen, cement, water, sand, aggregate, superplasticizer and fly ash are used as independent input parameters. GEP-I model is constructed by 292 experimental data and trisected into 170, 86 and 36 data for training, testing and validating sets, respectively. Similarly, GEP-II model is constructed by 278 experimental data and trisected into 142, 70 and 66 data for training, testing and validating sets, respectively. The experimental data used in the validating set of these models are independent from the training and testing sets. The results of the statistical parameters obtained from the models indicate that the proposed empirical models have good prediction and generalization capability.

Recently the new inorganic sound-absorbing material manufacturing techniques have introduced. These mainly is plentifully used in the place where the noise damage becomes problem in life environment, partitioning of the apartment, the railroad and the express highway, school and the residential quarter neighboring area etc. While the sound-absorbing material has vast quantity of open pore, sound insulation material, used in the apartment and high building in order to prevent the sound between layers, has suitable quantity of closed pore. The fly ash is widely used in the cement materials and the concrete binder material. The bottom ash, however, is rarely used for the grain size is big and multiform with unburning carbon ingredient. In this paper, the practical field tests and the results on the sound reduction properties of formed concrete using bottom ash are described.

In this paper, the properties of inter-locking block using fly ash are investigated. The experimental parameters are the replacement ratio of fly ash, the amount of AE water-reducing agent and mixing porpotion of mortar. According to the experimental results, the improvement of quality in the side of strength, absorption ratio and freeze-thaw resistance for manufacturing inter-locking block and the curtailment of cost can be achieved in case of 15% of fly ash and 0.3% of AE water-reducing agent are mixed into mortar mixture of 1:6(C:S).

The results of an experimental study on manufacture and mechanical properties of concrete utilizing crushed sand and fly ash for construction materials are presented in theis paper. As the results show, the workability, compressive strength and freezing-thaw resistance were improved by proper contents of fly ash, replaced crushed sand, and air entraining agent. And the drying shinkage was decreased by proper contents of those. Also, the suitable weight contents of replacing ratio of crushed sand and weight ratio fly ash in concrete using crushed sand were in range of 30% and 15% respectively.

This paper presents experimentally investigated the effects of pozzolan made from various by-Product materials on mechanical properties of mortar. Fly ash(FA), slag (BFS), and palm oil fuel ash (POFA) were partially used to replace Portland cement. The results suggest that mortars containing FA, BFS, and POFA can be used as pozzolanic materials in making concrete with 28day compressive strength. After curing, the mortar containing 10-30% FA or POFA, and 30% BFS exhibited compressive strengths that of the original Portland cement (OPC). The use of FA, POFA, and BFS to partially replace Portland cement has evaluation method of the Assessed Pozzolan-activity index.(API)

During recent years the durability of concrete structures has attracted considerable interest in concrete practice, material research and long-term deformation. To preserve the brittleness of concrete as well as energy absorption and impact resistance, amount of fiber usage has greatly increased year to year in the field of public works. When fly ash, fine powder, mixed into concrete, it condensed the void of concrete structure. Expecially, there's a great effect for strength improvement of concrete by initial pozzolanic reactions. Pozzolan reaction, between cement particle and fly ash, can elaborate the micro structure of matrix. So it was able to improve the effect of fiber reinforced by increased adhesion between cement paste and steel fiber. And so, in this paper, we dealt SFRC for the purpose of efficiently using of industrial by-products and its economical manufacturing. Also we performed the test for durability such as chemical resistance, freeze-thaw resistance and accelerated carbonation of SFRC using fly ash.

This paper tried to catch the fluidity and rheology nature of paste, using the W/P, flay-ash and additional amount of superplasticizing agent as experimental factor. Form result of experiment, as the amount of superplasticizing agent increased, fluidity increased and the rheology decreased. As the substitutional ratio increased fluidity decreased, the rheology tended to increase, additional amount of agent to gain high flowing range is different according to w/p, but this experiment shows about 0.5~1.0% in fly-ash 10~30% substitutional range, 1.0~1.5% in fly-ash 50%.

This paper presented polymerization reactivity of fly ash based geopolymer with alkaline activator type. As a result, the compressive strength development properties of the geopolymer can be confirmed from the combination of the amorphous Si and Al contents in the fly ash and the alkaline activators. Although the direct correlation between the polymerization reactivity of the geopolymer and the development of compressive strength could not be confirmed through an X-ray diffraction analysis, it could be confirmed through scanning electron microscopy.

In this paper, we reviewed briefly about the barrier materials for the radioactive waste disposal. The primary concept of the radioactive waste disposal is safety. The goal of the radioactive waste management is to assure that the environment is not adversely affected and also public. There are a wide variety of materials are available for the radioactive waste disposal or storage. Among those coal fly ash is one of the significant materials are used as a barrier material. Here we reported, the Calcium sulfo aluminate (CSA) from coal fly ash is effectively suitable for the radioactive waste disposal. This is one of the ways of utilization of waste and manufactured the valuable materials for future indeeds.
