For the recycling of the resources and the preservation of the environment, this study's purpose is to measure flexural behavior of the reinforced concrete beams with the major variables like concrete strength, replacement ratio of the recycled aggregate and the waste foundry sand and the tension reinforcement ratio and to present the data of the recycled aggregate used for the structure design. The experiment on the flexural behavior resulted in the followings. The ultimate strength of recycled R/C beam was manipulated proportionate to the tension reinforcement ratio, however the strength instantly decreased after passing the ultimate load due to the destroyed concrete of the compression side. The deflection at the maximum load varied from the tension reinforcement ratio by 5.5 times. The test specimen with the tension reinforcement ratio less than $0.5{\rho}b$ showed constant curve without change in the load from the yield to the ultimate load in contrast to the distinctive plastic region where the displacement was rising. Although the strain of main tension steel with the reinforcement ratio indicate different, the design of recycled concrete member can be applied for current design code for reinforced concrete structure as the ratio of tension reinforcement district the under the reinforcement ration in a balanced strain condition.

Recently fiber-reinforced thermoplastic composites have attracted great interest from industry and study because they offer unique properties such as high strength, modulus, impact resistance, corrosion resistance, and damping reduction which are difficult to obtain in single-component materials. The demand for plastics is steadily increasing not only in household goods, packaging materials, but also in high-performance engineering plastic and recycling. As a result, the technology of recycling plastic is also attracting attention. In particular, many paper have studied recycling systems based on recycled thermoplastics. In this paper, properties of Glass Fiber Reinforced Thermoplastic(GFRTP) materials were evaluated using recycled PET for injection molding bicycle frame. The effect on thermal and mechanical properties of recycled PET reinforced glass chop fiber according to fiber cross section and fiber content ratio were studied. And it was compared void volume and torque energy by glass fiber cross section, which is round section and flat section. Mechanical characteristics of resulting in GF/rPET has been increased by increasing fiber contents, than above a certain level did not longer increased. And mechanical properties of flat glass fiber reinforced rPET with low void volume were most excellent.

The main objective of this study is to evaluate and compare the efficiency of ordinary Portland cement (OPC) in enhancing the unconfined compressive strength of soft soil alone and soft soil mixed with recycled tiles. The recycled tiles have been used to treat soft soil in a previous research by Al-Bared et al. (2019) and the results showed significant improvement, but the improved strength value was for samples treated with low cement content (2%). Hence, OPC is added alone in this research in various proportions and together with the optimum value of recycled tiles in order to investigate the improvement in the strength. The results of the compaction tests of the soft soil treated with recycled tiles and 2, 4, and 6% OPC revealed an increment in the maximum dry density and a decrement in the optimum moisture content. The optimum value of OPC was found to be 6%, at which the strength was the highest for both samples treated with OPC alone and samples treated with OPC and 20% recycled tiles. Under similar curing time, the strength of samples treated with recycled tiles and OPC was higher than the treated soil with the same percentage of OPC alone. The stress-strain curves showed ductile plastic behaviour for the untreated soft clay and brittle behaviour for almost all treated samples with OPC alone and OPC with recycled tiles. The microstructural tests indicated the formation of new cementitious products that were responsible for the improvement of the strength, such as calcium aluminium silicate hydrate. This research promotes recycled tiles as a green stabiliser for soil stabilisation capable of reducing the amount of OPC required for ground improvement. The replacement of OPC with recycled tiles resulted in higher strength compared to the control mix and this achievement may results in reducing both OPC in soil stabilisation and the disposal of recycled tiles into landfills.

플라스틱은 우수한 물성과 가공성 및 경제성으로 소비가 급증하고 있는 반면에, 분리, 선별이 제대로 이루어지고 있지 않아 재활용률이 저조한 실정이다. 특히, 생활폐기물 발생 폐플라스틱은 이물질과 혼합배출로 분리, 선별 공정 비용이 증가하여 재활용이 상대적으로 저조한 실정이다. 이에 본 연구는 생활폐기물 발생 복합 폐플라스틱을 콘크리트용 골재로 재활용하기 위한 기초 연구로 폐플라스틱 종류(복합재질 1종류 및 단일 재질 2종류) 및 치환율(잔골재 용적 대비 25%, 50% 및 75%)에 따른 콘크리트 특성 변화를 실험적으로 평가하였다. 복합재질의 폐플라스틱 굵은 골재는 양호한 입도 분포로 부순 굵은 골재 대비 밀도는 낮고 흡수율은 높은 것으로 나타났다. 반면에, 단일재질의 폐플라스틱 잔골재는 균일한 크기의 입자로 구성되었으며 부순 잔골재 대비 밀도와 흡수율 모두 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 복합재질 굵은 골재 치환 콘크리트는 가장 많은 폐플라스틱 치환량에도 양호한 입도 분포로 재료 분리 현상이 발생하지 않았으며, 공기랑도 증가량도 적은 것으로 나타났다. 한편, 폐플라스틱 골재의 낮은 강도, 소수성으로 인한 시멘트 수화반응 억제, 폐플라스틱 골재와 시멘트 페이스트 사이의 낮은 부착력 등으로 폐플라스틱 골재 치환량이 증가함에 따라 콘크리트의 압축강도 및 휨강도는 감소하였으며, 입도 분포가 양호한 복합재질의 폐플라스틱 굵은 골재를 치환한 콘크리트의 압축강도 및 휨강도의 저하 정도가 상대적으로 작은 것으로 나타났다.

Synthetic lightweight aggregates are manufactured with recycled plastic and fly ash with 12 percent carbon. Nominal maximum-size aggregates of 9.5mm were produced with fly ash contents of 0 percent, 35 percent, and 80 percent by total mass of the aggregate. An expanded day lightweight aggregate and a normal-weight aggregate were used as comparison. Mechanical properties of the concrete determined included density, compressive strength, elastic modulus, and splitting tensile strength. Compressive and tensile strengths were lower for the synthetic aggregates; however, comparable fracture properties were obtained. Relatively low compressive modulus of elasticity was found for concretes with the synthetic lightweight aggregate, although high ductility was also obtained. As fly ash content of the synthetic lightweight aggregate increased, all properties of the concrete were improved.

Majority of the plastic produced each year is being disposed in land after single-use, which becomes waste and takes up a lot of storage space. Therefore, there is an urgent need to find alternative solutions instead of disposal. Recycling and reusing the PET plastic waste as aggregate replacement and fiber in concrete production can be one of the eco- friendly methods as there is a great demand for concrete around the world, especially in developing countries by raising human awareness of the environment, the economy, and Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. Self-compacting concrete (SCC) is a key development in concrete technology that offers a number of attractive features over traditional concrete applications. Recently, in order to improve its durability and prevent such plastics from directly contacting the environment, various kinds of plastics have been added. This review article summarizes the latest evident on the performance of SCC containing recycled PET as eco-friendly aggregates and fiber. Moreover, it highlights the influence of substitution content, shape, length, and size on the fresh and properties of SCC incorporating PET plastic. Based on the findings of the articles that were reviewed for this study, it is observed that SCC made of PET plastic (PETSCC) can be employed in construction era owing to its acceptable mechanical and fresh properties. On the other hand, it is concluded that owing to the lightweight nature of plastic aggregate, Reusing PET waste in the construction application is an effective approach to reduces the earthquake risk of a building.

본 연구에서는 소경저질재를 원료로 한 목재 파티클과 폐플라스틱 중에서도 많이 발생되고 있는 열가소성 재생폴리에틸렌을 결합제로 사용하여 복합패널을 제조하였다. 목재 파티클의 크기(1/32", 1/4", 1/2")와 재생폴리에틸렌의 혼합비(10%, 30%, 50%)에 따라 복합패널을 제조하여 물성을 조사하였다. 복합패널의 밀도는 같은 혼합비에서 목재 파티클이 클수록 다소 감소하는 경향을 나타냈다. 흡수 두께팽창률과 수분흡수율은 재생폴리 에틸렌의 혼합비가 증가할수록 감소하였으며, 재생폴리에틸렌이 30% 이상 혼합될 경우 14일간의 침지실험에서 치수안정성이 매우 우수하였다. 재생폴리에틸렌의 혼합비가 증가할수록 박리강도가 높아 졌으며, 휨강도 또한 같은 경향을 나타냈다. 습윤 휨강도 실험에서 30% 이상 재생폴리에틸렌을 혼합하여 제조된 복합패널은 기건 휨강도와 큰 차이를 보이지 않았다. SEM 사진 관찰을 통해 재생폴리에틸렌이 용융되어 목재 조직 내에 일부 침투되어 쐐기 형태의 기계적 결합을 형성하고 있었으며, 목재 파티클을 감싸는 매질(matrix)로써 결합되어 있는 것을 관찰할 수 있었다.
