In this study, the effect of very fine sand on drying shrinkage cracking of concrete was experimentally evaluated. As a result of the study, the time-to-cracking of concrete used very fine sand was shorter than plain concrete. Also, the stress rate of concrete used very fine sand was higher than plain concrete. It was due to the increase of water content when very fine sand was used in concrete. In conclusion, the use of very fine sand can lead the increase of water content to meet the target slump and higher potential of cracking of concrete.

The results of an experimental study on the mechanical properties of concrete utilizing crushed sand for construction materials are persented in this paper. As the results show, the workability, compressive strength and drying shrinkage were improved by propeer contents of replaced crushed sand. And the workability, compressive strength and drying shinkage were decreased by increasing very fine sand. Also, the suitable weight contents of replacing ratio of crushed sand in concrete using crushed sand were in range of about 30%. And the use of crushed sand containing very fine sand under the permitted limit by regulated KS F 2558 has not very much problems in concrete.

This study is to investigate the properties of concrete with crushed sand on site and to propose a quality guideline for its use as artificial sand and concrete. From our experimental result in laboratory and site, we found that demand water of concrete with crushed sand for target slump increased by 18kg/m3 compared to mixed sand and l8kg/m3 compared to sea sand respectively. The compressive strength increased by around 3∼6% when compared to concrete with sea sand. Accordingly, our study showed that the combined sand mixed with sea sand would be desirable to obtain workability and strength of concrete including dry shrinkage and bleeding test. Furthermore, the optimal replacement percentage of crushed sand was 50% with sea sand. As such, crushed sand would be sufficient as fine aggregate for concrete in terms of economic efficiency and quality. Crushed sand, on the other hand can only be used as fine aggregate when VFS(Very Fine Sand) is below 3.5 percentage of weight of sand and particle shape is above 55 percentage. Also, the particle shape and microsand passing NO.200 sieve should continually be improved to increase workability of concrete on site.

1. Fine aggregates of concrete are very important for the construction works and construction cost determination. Most of fine aggregates are from the river sand, but the amount of storage in the river side is steadily decreasing due to continuous construction works. Therefore, another source of fine aggregates is needed to meet increasied demand of sand. 2. Beach sand is a possible source of fine aggregates. But rust of steel bar is caused by CL-chemical of beach sand. Therefore, desalinization of beach sand is requested to get durable reinforced concrete. Economical methods of desalinization are as follows. (a) Flooding and drainage method. (b) Washing of beach sand with water supply and mixing. (c) Spreading of beach sand on the land and leaching by rain water for a few month. 3. Hardening of concrete with beach sand is accelerated due to salt, Thus early stage strength increase leads to make cracks. Also later stage strength decreases and durability becomes worse. By using appropriate admixture, the quality of concrete can be improved.

Recently, with the wide shortage of natural sand resources, it has been increasingly used the crushed sand. rushed sand is made by the process of crushing the rocks artificially, which has different particle properties compared with that of natural sand. Because such different panicle properties of crushed sand results in an undesirable effects of concrete. improvement technology for crushed sand particle properties like grain shape and fine particle needed during the manufacturing process. In this paper, improvement technology of grain shape and fine particle is reported. According to test results, adequate investment for manufacturing facilities like impact crusher and abrasion test machine is required to meet the advanced grain shape and grading of crushed sand. Based on the investigation of test result, mixing of natural land and crushed sand with given proportion can achieve the improvement of grain shape. For improving excessive fine panicle contents. current manufacturing system also can enhance the existing technology for fine particle without additional investment. It can be concluded that adequate investment and research can improve the quality of crushed sand.

This study is to assess the differences between concrete having only one of fine aggregates such as crushed fine aggregates, sea sand and blast furnace slag in it and concrete having mixture of two kinds of those fine aggregates in it in order to find out how to deal with the lack of some aggregates. The findings are as follows. In terms of slump, the concrete containing sea sand and blast furnace slag has very low slump values while the concrete having the mixture of crushed fine aggregate and the other fine aggregates showed better workability. In terms of compressive strength, the concrete containing the mixture of two kinds of aggregates showed higher compressive strength. Accordingly, it is likely that the concrete containing the mixture of crushed fine aggregate, sea sand and blast furnace slag is better than the concrete with only one kind of fine aggregates in terms of the usability.

This study is aimed for investigating the influence of the properties of crushed stone sand on the mixing factor and compressive strength of concrete. The results of this study are as follows; The influence of Particle Shape and Very Fine Sand(VFS) of crushed stone sand on the mixing factor was higher than Fineness Modulus. The demand water of concrete with crushed stone sand was decreased about $12\~18kg/m^3$with increasing $4\%$ of Particle Shape and increased $8\~15kg/m^3$ with increasing $3\%$ of ratio of Very Fine Sand(VFS).

This study is aimed for investigating a decision of the saturated surface dry of crushed stone sand and measuring the moisture with increasing percentage of VFS(Very Fine Sand) replacement each crushed stone sand. The results indicated that moisture of crushed stone sand is generally increased with increasing percentage of VFS replacement and the rate of increase of moisture is about 30% every time that VFS replacement increases 3.5%. Also the saturated surface dry for crushed stone sane is proposed as a point of time where shape of flow-cone first slumps in this paper.

Macromia daimoji nymphs (Endangered Species II) are known to inhabit the Naeseong Stream in Korea. In March 2019, we performed a correlation analysis between sediment particle size and the M. daimoji population using data collected from a 0.2-㎡ area at 37 sites in Naeseong riverbed. Particle size analysis showed different ratios of sediments in the riverbed: Coarse Sand (500-1,000 ㎛) 52.5%; Very Coarse Sand (1,000-2,000 ㎛) 25.6%; Medium Sand (250-500 ㎛) 17.2%; Fine Sand (125-250 ㎛) 3.1%; Very Fine Sand (63-125 ㎛) 1.0%; and Silt (less than 63 ㎛) 0.7%. The number of M. daimoji nymphs showed a positive correlation with Very Fine Sand and Fine Sand and a negative correlation with Coarse Sand, indicating that M. daimoji nymphs inhabit fine sand. These results can be used to monitor changes in the riverbed environment of Naeseong Stream to ensure the conservation of M. daimoji habitat.

This study is to investigate the application of concrete with crushed sand on site. As a result, it is showed that the combined sand mixed with sea sand is very desirable for obtaining workability and strength of concrete, and the optimal replacement percentage of crushed sand is 50% with sea sand. After all, the crushed sand could be sufficiently used as a fine aggregate for concrete in the aspect of economical efficiency and quality, but the particle shape and microsand passing No.200 sieve should be firstly improved for increasing workability of concrete on site.
