This paper is to investigate the characteristics of a concrete in which river sand is partially substituted with crushed sand. Since river sand has a relatively small fineness modulus, there is a need to increase the fineness modulus of sand used in the manufacture of concrete. In an experiment, it was observed that when river sand had a fineness modulus of 2.0~2.4 and crushed sand had a fineness modulus of 2.8~3.5, the substitution rate of the crushed sand was preferably within the range of 25~50%. The experimental results also revealed that as the substitution rate of the crushed sand increased, the flowability of the concrete tended to increase. However, when the substitution rate of the crushed sand reached 75% or more, the workability of the concrete was considerably poor. Further, as the substitution rate of the crushed sand increased, the air content and the bleeding rate of the concrete were low.

This paper investigated the engineering properties of cement mortar mixed with more than 2 kinds of sand. For fresh mortar properties, unit volume weight is constant regardless of mixing content and type of sand. An increase in contents of river and crushed sand resulted in an increase in flow, whereas an increase in recycled sand contents reduced flow. Gap between maximum flow in N3C0R0 and minimum flow in N0C0R3 exhibited about $12\%$. Compressive strength at 28 days ranged from 32 to 36 MPa in order for crushed sand, river sand and recycled sand. Mortar with mixed sand along with river sand and crushed sand showed compressive strength comparable to crushed sand. An increase of fraction of recycled sand in mixed sand resulted in a decrease in compressive strength. For drying shrinkage, N0C0R3 had the largest drying shrinkage among various mixture type. The combination of large contents of recycled sand and small contents of river and crushed sand had a large amount of drying shrinkage.

An experimental study was carried out on kaolinite-sand mixtures with various proportions of kaolinite content. To investigate physical behaviour of mixtures, index properties and compaction test results were analysed in various aspects. Moreover, to clearly see the interaction between kaolinite and sand particles, the observational analysis through microscopic image analysis device was conducted. The test results showed that an increase in the amount of kaolinite could create a strong bonding structure which resulted in higher specific surface available for activities of kaolinite particles. Also, an increase in the amount of the kaolinite resulted in an increase in the percentage of water sorption. Then it could accelerate the occupation rate of water which tended to take up the space that would have been occupied by solid particles, and accordingly, resulted in the decreased maximum dry unit weight and increased initial void ratio. Based on the microscopic image analysis, the samples were individually classified into three types of mixture such as sand dominant, intermediate fine content, and fine dominant. In addition, the fine and coarse grains seem to interact well in the mixtures with the fine content ranging from 25 to 40%.

The packed column experiments were conducted with commercial Jumunjin sand(SOM content : 0.01 %) and a field soil(SOM content : 0.08 %) in order to understand the effects of water content and soil organic matter(SOM) on the transport of gaseous ozone in unsaturated soil contaminated with phenanthrene. Water content and SOM content were artificially controlled. As water content increased, earlier breakthrough was observed in the beginning of BTC of ozone, because direct contact of gaseous ozone with SOM and phenanthrene was prevented by water film formed between soil particles and gaseous ozone. The total removal of phenanthrene in Jumunjin sand was not affected by water content which was more than 99% at different water content(4.4, 8, 17.3%). However, the removal in field soil at water content 6.5 % and 20 % was 98% and 80 %.

The behavior of the burn-on in sand mold has been investigated by varying the pouring metal, bonding materials, additive materials and molding sand. The results obtained from thease experiments are as follows; 1) The burn-on layer of silica sand decreased in order of carbon steel, gray cast iron and stainless steel, and thease burn layer proceeded mostly by producing FeO. 2) The burning reaction of silica sand mold in carbon steel castings declined with increasingly bentonite content, but water-glass scarcely took part in the burn-on reaction. 3) The addition of feldspar and seacoal to silica sand promoted the inhibiting burn-on. 4) The burn-on layer of sand mold decreased of silica sand, chromite sand and olivine sand.

Soils of four combinations, sand with high content of organic matter(SL), sand with low content of OM(SS), siltyl loam with high content of OM(LL) and silty loam with low content OM (LS), were filled on column and then percolated with simulated sulfuric acid rain with pH 5.6, 4.0, 3.5, 3.0 and 2.5. From soil leachates, pH and concentrations of basic cations and Al were determined. Cation concentrations in the leachates increased as pH of the rain decreased. The orders of buffering capacity of soil, leachability of cation from soil, leaching sensitivity of ion andbase saturation sensitivity of soil to acidity of the rain water were SS$\leq$K <$\leq$LL

The aim of this paper was to investigating the effects of soil relative density, construction materials roughness, oil type (gasoil, crude oil, and used motor oil), and oil content on the internal and interface shear behavior of sand with different construction materials by means of a modified large direct shear test apparatus. Tests conducted on the soil-soil (S-S), soil-rough concrete (S-RC), soil-smooth concrete (S-SC), and soil-steel (S-ST) interfaces and results showed that the shear strength of S-S interface is always higher than the soil-material interfaces. Internal and interface friction angles of sand beds increased by increase in relative density and decreased by increasing oil content. The oil properties (especially viscosity) played a major role in interface friction behavior. Despite the friction angles of contaminated sands with viscous fluids drastically decreased, it compensated by the apparent cohesion and adhesion developed between the soil grains and construction materials.

This paper presents the results of a laboratory study on the thermal conductivity of and(silica, quartzite, limestone, sandstone, granite and two masonry sands)-water mixtures used for ground heat exchanger backfilling materials. Nearly 260 tests were performed in a thermal conductivity measuring system to characterize the relationships between the thermal conductivity of mixtures and the water content. The experimental results show hat the thermal conductivity of mixtures increases with increasing dry density and with increasing water content. The most widely used empirical prediction models for thermal conductivity of soils were found inappropriate to estimate the thermal conductivity of unsaturated sand-water mixtures. An improved model using an exponential relationship to compute the thermal conductivity of dry sands and empirical relationship to assess the normalized thermal conductivity of unsaturated sand-water mixtures is presented.

This paper presents the results of a laboratory study on the thermal conductivity of sand (silica, quartzite, limestone and masonry sand)-water mixtures used in ground heat exchanger backfilling materials. Nearly 150 tests were performed in a thermal conductivity measuring system (TPSYS02) to characterize the relationships between the thermal conductivity of mixtures and the water content. The results show that the thermal conductivity of mixtures increases with increasing dry density and with increasing water content. The results also show that for constant water contents and a dry density value, the thermal conductivity of mixtures increases with increasing thermal conductivity of solid particles. The measurement results were also compared with the most widely used empirical prediction models for the thermal conductivity of soils.

In order to establish the exact determination method of amino nitrogen in fish sauces, we compared the amino-nitrogen content in salt-fermented sand lance sauces according to the measuring methods and investigated influencing factors on the procedure of measuring. Amino-nitrogen content was increased in both sand lance sauce during fermentation periods and commercial sand lance sauces. Amino-nitrogen in fermented sand lance sauces for 12 months occupied 88.7% and 75.2% for the trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid(TNBS) method and the Copper-salt method, compare to the Formol method. The ratio of amino-nitrogen/total nitrogen in fermented sand lance sauce for 12 months was higher than in commercial sand lance sauces. The determination of amino-nitrogen by the TNBS method was influenced by concentration of salt in sand lance sauce. The amino-nitrogen content was the highest in the Formol method and followed by the TNBS method and the Copper-salt method without the influence of heating time and monosodium glutamate(MSG) concentration. We concluded that the determination of amino nitrogen in fish sauces was correct to measure with the TNBS method.
