This paper is to determine the possibility of re-using waste concrete from Incheon city area. The strength test was conducted with five aggregate compounds which was replaced a natural aggregate with recycled aggregate. After checking the physical characteristics of recycled aggregate compounds, the mix design of recycled concrete was conducted. For the relatively comparison between natural and recycled compounds, while the unit aggregate weight was changed, other conditions were fixed. The freezing and thawing test which included fly-ash and super-plastezer were performed to check the durability and workability when recycling waste concrete. In the physical characteristics of recycled aggregate, it was found that the specific gravity of recycled coarse aggregate and recycled fine aggregate satisfied the first grade of recycle specification(KS), and all compounds of recycled aggregate also satisfied the second grade of absorption specification, Especially up to the 50% substitution of recycled aggregate is equal to or a bit lower than that of convention aggregate. In comparison with conventional concrete, the recycled concrete is lower than maximum by 7% in compressive strength decreasing rate after freezing-thawing test. From now, although most of recycled concrete was used to the building lot, subgrade, asphalt admixture, through the result. It was proved that possibility of re-using recycled aggregate as the substructure of bridge, retaining wall, tunnel lining and concrete structure which is not attacked the drying shrinkage severely.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the economic effect of the use of recycled aggregate on the construction industry and the effect of increasing the value of the recycled aggregate production industry on the premise of supporting quality assurance technology to promote the high-quality use of recycled aggregate. Accordingly, the production cost of ready-mixed concrete that can be obtained through the use of high-quality recycled aggregate is analyzed according to the recycled aggregate application rate recommended in the recycled aggregate quality standard, The economic effect of general ready-mixed concrete and recycled aggregate-applied rea dy-mixed concrete industry wa s a na lyzed by identifying the domestic rea dy-mixed concrete industry sca le a nd the ra te of satisfaction of recycled aggregate volume, and a cost-benefit analysis method was used to examine the benefits of high-quality recycled aggregate production and sales. As a result, the production cost of ready-mixed concrete is reduced by 2.3~16.2% depending on the application rate, the economic effect of the use of recycled aggregate on the construction industry is about 106.8~142.6 billion KRW, and the effect of increasing the value of the recycled aggregate production industry generated about 1.22 times the benefit.

The objective of this study is to evaluate the compressive strength of recycled aggregate concrete by the non-destructive testing. Main experimental variables were the replacement level of recycled aggregate and blast-furnace slag, which were divided into two series according to recycled aggregate maximum size. Test results showed that a recycled aggregate had a significant influence on the non-destructive testing results, such as rebound number, Ultrasonic pulse velocity, and frequency. A prediction model of compressive strength considering the replacement level of recycled aggregate was suggested by multi-regression analysis and was compared with test results.

In this paper, the effects of elevated temperatures on the strength and compressive stress-strain curve (SSC) of recycled coarse aggregate concrete with different replacement percentages are presented. 90 recycled coarse aggregate concrete prisms are heated up to 20, 200, 400, 600, $800^{\circ}C$. The results show that the compressive strength, split tensile strength, elastic modulus of recycled aggregate concrete specimens decline significantly as the temperature rise. While the peak strain increase of recycled aggregate concrete specimens as the temperature rise. Compared to the experimental curves, the proposed stress-strain relations for recycled aggregate concrete after exposure elevated temperatures can be used in practical engineering applications.

The study of recycled aggregate concrete in which demolition waste is utilized to produce aggregate for new concrete, can contribute to the solution of two problems, The first is the shortage of aggregate from river, and the second is the waste disposal problem. In comparison with natural aggregate concrete, recycled aggregate concrete shows reductions in compressive strength , tensile strength, vending strength , shear strength and increases in drying shrinkage and creep. Recycled aggregate concrete may also be less durable due to increase in porosity and permeability. The purpose of this study is to investigate and analyze the variation of engineering properties according to replacement proportion of recycled aggregates and applicability of non-destructive test in the gardened recycled concrete.

The elastic modulus of recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) can be evaluated by using composite models with experiment. In this study, Hashin's composite model was adapted to evaluate elastic modulus considering physical properties of recycled coarse aggregate (RCA) that mortar is attached. Elastic modulus testes for cement paste, mortar and recycled coarse aggregate concrete were carried out considering W/C and recycled coarse aggregate content rate. As a result, the elastic modulus of RAC was evaluated comparing with both experiment results and the existing estimation formula. Those can be used for further studies as a preliminary data.

The use of recycled aggregate concrete for the purpose of environmental and resource conservation has gained increasing interest in construction engineering. Nevertheless, few studies have reported on the bonding performance of the bars in recycled aggregate concrete after exposed to high temperatures. In this paper, 72 pull-out specimens and 36 cubic specimens with different recycled coarse aggregate content (i.e., 0%, 50%,100%) were cast to evaluate the bond behavior between recycled aggregate concrete and steel bar after various temperatures ($20^{\circ}C$, $200^{\circ}C$, $400^{\circ}C$, $600^{\circ}C$). The results show that the recycled aggregate concrete pull-out specimens exhibited similar bond stress-slip curves at both ambient and high temperature. The bond strength declined gradually with the increase of the temperature. On the basis of a regression analysis of the experimental data, a revised bond strength mode and peak slip ratios relationship model were proposed to predict the post-heating bond-slip behavior between recycled aggregate concrete and steel bar.

The supply of natural aggregate for concrete has been difficult, and the amount of construction waste has been continuously increasing. Therefore, the necessity of using recycled aggregate made of construction waste as aggregate is rised. Therefore, many studies on the characteristics of concrete using recycled aggregate have been made and positive studies have been reported mainly in recent studies. A study on the chlorides binding effect of the mortar with recycled coarse aggregate has been reported. However, due to the user's perception of waste, most of the recycled aggregate currently produced is used only for low value-added products. In order to improve the recognition of recycled aggregate and the user's perception of recycled aggregate concrete, long-term monitoring of the structure with 100% recycled aggregate was conducted to confirm the applicability of the recycled aggregate concrete.

The recycled aggregates which were produced from the waste concretes have the disadvantages of inferior properties for natural aggregate. Therefore, in order to reuse the recycled aggregate it must be solved to improve the quality of recycled aggregate. In this study, the quality of recycled aggregate was improved by the surface treatment method using the colloidal silica solution. And, in order to examine the possibility of reusing the surface coated recycled aggregate in constructing concrete structures, we studied the mechanical properties and durability of the concrete using the surface coated recycled aggregates and the other concrete.
