This study is performed to examine the physical and mechanical properties of the high strength concrete using recycled aggregate. The recycled aggregate is replaced by 0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, 100% of natural crushed aggregate. The compressive strength of the concrete used recycled aggregate is shown in more than $400kgf/cm^2$ at the curing age 28 days. But the pulse velocity and dynamic modulus of elasticity are decreased with increasing the content of recycled aggregate. Accordingly, these recycled aggregate concrete can be used for high strength concrete.

The main objective of this study was to evaluated the physical properties of concrete with substitution ratio of recycled fine aggregate and recycled coarse aggregate made of waste concrete. The replacement ratios of recycled coarse and fine aggregate decided 0%, 30%, 40% and 50% respectively to get the deregulate of floor space Index. The test result showed that compression strength of cylinder mold decrease with the substitution ratio increase but its strength of replaced recycled fine aggregate higher than OPC.

Until now, the quantity to recycle wasted concrete as the great supplementary value was very little. But considering a insufficiency of the present state of aggregates, the recycling of wasted aggregates is indispensable. This study will offer the basic application data of the recycled aggregates to make by the new attempt and offer the basic data of the great supplementary value of recycled aggregate to make good use of precast process. The result of compressive strength, tensile strength, flexural strength and drying shrinkage test of concrete by recycled aggregates were similar to the property of normal aggregate concrete, and the contrary effect of recycled aggregate by high temperature steam curing do not have been found out. Therefore the great supplementary value of recycled aggregate to make good use of precast process is possible way to be helpful to a insufficiency of the present state of aggregates.

Resins using recycled PET offer the possibility of a lower source cost of materials for making useful polymer concrete products. The purposed of this paper is to form a part of reducing the damage of sulfuric acid, through investigating recycled PET polymer concrete, . immersed at sulfuric acid solution for 84 days. Recycled PET PC is excellent chemical resistance, resulting in the role of unsaturated polyester resin which consists of polymer chain structure accomplishes bond of aggregates and filler strongly. Also, Recycled PET PC, used fly-ash as filler, is stronger resistance of sulfuric acid corrosion than $CaCO_3$, because it is composed of $SiO_2$ and very strong glassy crystal structure. Therefore, Recycled PET PC, used fly-ash as filler, is available under corrosion circumstances like sewer pipe or waste disposal plant.

This study peformed an evaluation of the physical and mechanical properties and sound absorption characteristics of porous concrete according to the target void ratio and content of the recycled aggregate in order to reduce the noise generated in roads, railroads, residential areas and downtown areas and effectively utilize the recycled waste concrete aggregate generated as a byproduct of construction. The test results demonstrated that the difference between the target void ratio and the actual measured void ratio was less than 1.7% and that the tendency of the compression strength was to reduce rapidly when the target void ratio and the content of the recycled aggregate exceeded 25% and 50%, respectively. In addition, the sound absorption characteristics of the porous concrete using recycled waste concrete aggregate showed that the NRC was the highest at the target void ratio of 25% and the content of the recycled aggregate had very little influence on the NRC. Therefore, when considering the compression strength and the sound absorption characteristics of porous concrete, the proper target void ratio and the content of the recycled waste concrete aggregate are thought to be 25% and 50%, respectively

This study is intended for how to utilize the recycled fine aggregate which is produced by concrete wastes. It analyzes the quality of the fine aggregate which is reproduced through the acid treatment process, and comprehends the characteristics of mortar using the recycled fine aggregate to review whether it can be put to practical use for concrete. The conclusion of the study are as follows 1. The recycled fine aggregate through the acid treat shows the low rate of absorption and high density. 2. Compared to the mortar made from acid liquid precipitated recycled fine aggregate, using nature water precipitated one reduces the flow. 3. The compressive strength of mortar using recycled fine aggregate tends to be reduced according to the kind of precipitated water. Based on the above results, the recycled fine aggregate through the acid treatment process satisfies the quality standards of the first-grade recycled fine aggregate of KS F 2573 (recycled fine aggregate for concrete) but it is concluded that the recycled fine aggregate through the acid treatment process can not used as fine aggregate used concrete because it has destructive characteristics when the mortar is produced

The characteristics of concrete strength and fracture parameters of recycled aggregate concrete were investigated to apply to the concrete pavements. As the results, the early strength of recycled aggregate concrete showed to be lower than that of natural coarse aggregate concrete, whereas strength at 28 days showed to be similar. Young's modulus of recycled aggregate concrete was lower than that of natural coarse aggregate concrete due to the difference of aggregate strength. And recycled aggregate concrete contained with ground granulated blast furnace slag seemed to have an effect of strength increasing. The critical stress intensity factor of recycled aggregate concrete at the early age was increased, and converged to be similar, compared to natural aggregate concrete at later age. The reliability of two-parameter fracture model was identified by the good correlation between the theoretical value computed by P-CMOD relationship and experimental results for Young's modulus and tensile strength.

The objective of this study is to investigate the properties of fresh concrete with recycled coarse and fine aggregates. Four different kinds of aggregate with natural, recycled aggregates were prepared. The concrete mixtures were produced with test parameters of replacement ratio of recycled aggregate. The properties of the fresh concrete were measured by means of slump and air content according to elapsed time. Quality control method to maintain the constant total mixing water for recycled aggregate concrete was suggested. The all concrete mixtures were produced with approximately the same slump on the job site after an hour. Test results indicated that compressive strength of concrete with constant slump is not affected by the replacement ratio of recycled aggregate. Also the practical way for the quality control of recycled aggregate concrete is to maintain the constant total mixing water.

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.

PURPOSES : This study was performed to investigate a feasibility of job-site use of recycled concrete aggregate exceeding 3% of absorption rate. Test variables are coarse aggregate types such as natural aggregate, job-site processed recycled aggregate, and recycled aggregate processed from the intermediate waste treatment company. METHODS : First, aggregate properties such as gradation, specific gravity and absorption rate were determined. Next a basic series of mechanical properties of concrete was tested. RESULTS : All strength test results such as compression, flexure and modulus were satisfied for the minimum requirements. Finally up to first 48 elapsed days the shrinkage strains of concretes made from both recycled aggregates (in case of volume-surface ratio of 300) appeared to be greater than 26% of the companion concretes made from natural aggregates. CONCLUSIONS : Drying shrinkage result is ascribed to greater absorption rate and specific gravity of those specimens made from recycled aggregate. This may be reduced with an addition of admixtures.
