The aim of this research is suggesting the method of obtaining well-graded aggregates for concrete replacing the recycled aggregate which size range is from 5 to 13 mm to currently used gap-graded natural aggregates which size range is only 13 to 25 mm. according to the tests results, the workability of concrete was improved with replacing the aggregates of 5 to 13 mm of size range because of compensating gap-grading. Furthermore, there was an improvement in compressive strength when the aggregates of 5 to 13 mm of size range was replaced because obtained well-graded aggregates contributed on increasing adhesiveness and filling internal pore system. Comparing replacing recycled aggregate to natural aggregate, there was no significant difference on the performances.

The purpose of this study is to develop an impact crusher with a radial rotating plate installed at the bottom, which is a shock absorber that can produce high-quality recycled coarse aggregate for concrete and to verify the effect of improving the quality performance of recycled coarse aggregate and its applicability through concrete tests. As a result, it showed improved quality in all items such as absolute dry density, absorption rate, abrasion resistance, Particle shape judgment rate, amount lost in the 0.08 mm sieve passing test, alkali aggregate reaction, clay mass, stability, and impurity content, and it was found to meet the criteria of recycled aggregate quality standards. In addition, the air volume and slump of concrete to which recycled coarse aggregate is applied meet all domestic standards. According to the test results of the compressive strength characteristics by age of concrete according to the mixing ratio of the recycled coarse aggregate, it was confirmed that the mixing ratio of the recycled coarse aggregate was applicable up to 60 %.
