Solid waste management is of great concern in today's world. An enormous amount of waste is generated from various industrial activities. Concrete production utilizing some of the potential waste materials will add to the benefit of society. These benefits will include reduction of landfill burden, improved air quality, riverbed protection due to excessive sand excavation, economical concrete production and much more. This study aims to utilize waste granite powder (GP) originating from granite industries as a sand replacement in concrete. Fine GP was collected in the form of slurry from different granite cutting industries. In this study, GP was added in an interval of ten percent as 10%, 20%, 30%, 40% and 50% by weight of sand in concrete. Mechanical assets; compressive strength, flexural strength and splitting tensile strength were prominent for control and blended mixes. Modulus of elasticity (MoE) and abrasion tests were also performed on control and blended specimens of concrete. To provide a comprehensive clarification for enhanced performance of GP prepared concrete samples, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) were performed. Results indicate that 30% replacement of sand by weight with GP enhances the mechanical assets of concrete and even the results obtained for 50% replacement are also acceptable. Comprehensive analysis through SEM and XRD for 30% replacement was better than control one. The performance of GP added to concrete in terms of abrasion and modulus of elasticity was far better than the control mix. A significant outcome shows the appropriateness of granite fines to produce sustainable and environmentally friendly concrete.

Super absorbent polymers (SAPs) are hydrophilic molecules that can absorb large amounts of water. This study was conducted to investigate the enhancement of the physicochemical properties of sand soil blended with three SAPs imbibed with 100, 150, and 200-fold water. Three treatments were applied, namely, 100SAP, 150SAP, and 200SAP. The three SAPs were blended at concentrations of 0% (control), 3%, 5%, 7%, and 10% with sand. The pH, electrical conductivity, and cation exchangeable capacity (CEC) of soil blended with the three SAPs were pH 6.35-6.46, 0.09-0.65 dS/m, and 1.42-1.92 cmol_c/kg, respectively, and their capillary porosity, total porosity, and saturated hydraulic conductivity were 21.0-29.3%, 39.2-48.7%, and 272-470 mm/hr. CEC, capillary porosity, total porosity, and saturated hydraulic conductivity of soil were positively correlated with the ratio of the SAPs (p<0.01). These results indicate that blending sand soil with SAPs increased CEC, capillary porosity, and saturated hydraulic conductivity, thus improving the nutrient-retention capacity, water-retention capacity, and permeability of the soil.

The objective of this study is to investigate the bond strength properties of antiwashout underwater concrete. The arrangement of bars (vertical bar, horizontal upper bar, horizontal lower bar), condition of casting and curing (fresh water, sea water), type of fine aggregate (river sand, blended sand(river sand : sea sand = 1:1), and proportioning strength of concrete (210, 240, 270, 300, 330kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$)are chosen as the experimental parameters. The test results(ultimate bond stress) are compared with bond and development provisions of the ACI Building Code(ACI 318-89) and proposed equations from previous research(which was proposed by Orangun et. al). The experimental results show that ultimate bond stress of antiwashout underwater concrete which arranged bar on the horizontal lower, used the blend sand, and was cast and cured in the fresh water are higher that other conditions. The ultimate bond stress were increased in proportion to {{{{( SQRT {fcu }) }}3 2. From this study, rational analytic formula for the ultimate bond stress are to be from compressive strength of concrete.

Recently as the development of a large-scale ocean structure or ocean is in progress, the importance of underwater concrete construction came to the fore. However, a problem with this underwater concrete construction is the segregation of cement and aggregate occurs when concrete is poured into the underwater. However, recently as an adhesiveness of the constituents of fresh concrete is increased even in our country, antiwashout concrete admixture were developed. The antiwashout concrete admixture can reduce the segregation significantly. Although this antiwashout underwater concrete is superior to the traditional underwater concrete in terms of durability, watertightness, stability, etc. But it is still unsatisfied due to the lack of criterion or construction experiences. Furthermore, because of an insufficiency of natural aggregate, the development of replacing aggregate came to be necessary. Accordingly, the purpose of this study is to investigate the feasibility of sea sand as a replacing aggregate and the characteristic change of antiwashout underwater concrete using river sand, sea sand, and blended sand (river sand:sea sand=3:7) through experimental researches.

This paper presents a preliminary study on the influence of laterite soil replacing conventional fine aggregates on the strength properties of GGBS-blended-concrete. For this purpose, GGBS-blended-concrete samples with 40% GGBS, 60% Portland cement (PC), and locally available laterite soil was used. Laterite soils at 0, 25, 50 and 75% by weight were used in trails to replace the conventional fine aggregates. A control mix using only PC, river sand, course aggregates and water served as bench mark in comparing the performance of the composite concrete mix. Test blocks including 60 cubes for compression test; 20 cylinders for split tensile test; and 20 beams for flexural strength test were prepared in the laboratory. Results showed decreasing trends in strength parameters with increasing laterite content in GGBS-blended-concrete. 25% and 50% laterite replacement showed convincing strength (with small decrease) after 28 day curing, which is about 87-90% and 72-85% respectively in comparison to that achieved by the control mix.

Investigating the microstructure of hardened cement mixtures with the aid of advanced technology will help the concrete industry to develop appropriate binders for durable building materials. In this paper, morphological, mineralogical and thermogravimetric analyses of autoclave-cured mixtures incorporating ground dune sand and ground granulated blast furnace slag as partial cementing materials were investigated. The microstructure analyses of hydrated products were conducted using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), differential thermal analysis (DTA), thermo-graphic analysis (TGA) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The SEM and EDX results demonstrated the formation of thin plate-like calcium silicate hydrate plates and a compacted microstructure. The DTA and TGA analyses revealed that the calcium hydroxide generated from the hydration binder materials was consumed during the secondary pozzolanic reaction. Residual crystalline silica was observed from the XRD analysis of all of the blended mixtures, indicating the presence of excess silica. A good correlation was observed between the compressive strength of the blended mixtures and the CaO/$SiO_2$ ratio of the binder materials.

The objective of this study was to investigate the bond strength properties of antiwashout underwater concrete. The fine aggregate(river sand, blended sand (river sand : sea sand = 1 : 1), condition of cast and cure(sea water, fresh water), and compressive strength of proportion(210kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$ ~ 330kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$) were chosen as the experimental parameters. The experimental results show that the underwater segregation resistance was increased, but flowability (slump flow) and air contents were decreased as the compressive strength of proportion increased. Bond strength of antiwashout underwater concrete was similar to plain concrete. From this study, rational analytic formula for the modulus of rupture and bond stress are to be from compressive strength of concrete.

본 연구는 아메리카동애등에분변토(soldier fly casts; SFC)의 단점을 개량하기 위해 코코피트(cocopeat; Coco)와 혼합된 토양개량제의 골프장 토양개량제로서의 사용가능성을 평가하기 위해 모래와 혼합비율 별 물리화학성을 조사하였다. 토양개량제는 SFC, Coco, 25% SFC+75% Coco(Mix1), 50% SFC+50% Coco (Mix2) 및 75% SFC+25% Coco (Mix3)이었고, 각각 3%, 5%, 7% 및 10% 씩 혼합되어 모래상토를 조성하였다. SFC, Mix1, Mix2 및 Mix3는 토양 pH와 EC에서 고도의 상관성(P<0.01)을 나타내어 토양개량제의 혼합에 의해 모래상토의 토양화학성에 영향을 주었다. SFC, Coco, Mix1, Mix2 및 Mix3은 모세관공극, 비모세관공극 및 공극이 USGA기준에 적합하였고, 혼합비율이 증가할수록 모세관공극과 총공극이 증가하였으며(P<0.05), Mix1과 Mix3의 비모세관공극은 모세관공극과 수리전도도에서 부의 상관성을 보였다(P<0.01). Mix1, Mix2 및 Mix3에서 SFC는 상토의 모세관공극의 변화에 영향을 주었고, Coco는 모세관공극과 총공극의 변화에 영향을 주었다. 이들 결과를 종합할 때, SFC와 Coco가 혼합된 토양개량제(Mix1~3)는 SFC보다 모래상토의 모세관 공극과 수리전도도를 개선하여 SFC의 단점을 보완한 것으로 평가되었다.

This study was carried out to investigate the load of soil layers affected by soil depth in artificial soil alone or in blends with Loam with various ratio. The artificial soils were perlite large grain, perlite small grain, and perlite small grains blended with Loam (sand 46%, silt 40%, clay 14%) at a ratio of 8:2, 6:4, 5:5 (v/v). The soil layers were divided into a planting layer and a well-drained layer, then the weight of each layer in the air-dried state and in the field capacity were determined. The data were subjected to correlation analysis, regression analysis, and paired samples t-test. The summarized results are as follows; 1) In the air-dried state, the regression equations of the well-drained layer weight(kg/m2) in perlite large grain, planting layer weight in perlite small grain, planting layer weight in perlite small grain biended with loam(8:2, v/v), perlite small grain blended with loam(6:4, v/v), and perlite small grain blended with loam(5:5, v/v) were; 1.65824*X+0.026, 1.52292*X-0.052, 3.21468*X+0.515, 6.17549*X+ 0.083, and 6.02100*X + 33.133, respectively, where X is soil depth measured in Centimeters. 2) In the field capacity, the regression equations of the well-drained layer weight(kg/m2) in perlite large grain, planting layer weight in perlite small grain, planting layer weight in perlite small grain blended with loam(8:2, v/v), perlite small grain blended with loam(6:4, v/v), and perlite small grain blended with loam(5:5, v/v) were 5.055*X - 2.006, 7.073*X + 100.008, 8.092*X + 116.676, 10.766*X + 100.112, and 10.974*X + 124.423, respectively, where X is the soil depth measured in Centimeters. 3) All of the equations mentioned above were statistically reliable and therefore easily applicable in practical business affairs.

본 연구는 부산의 동부, 중부, 서부지역을 대표하는 양산, 김해, 진해에서 생산된 부순모래를 사용한 부순모래 콘크리트의 장기강도 특성에 관한 연구를 수행하였다. 콘크리트는 전체 체적의 70~80%가 골재로 이루어져 있어 콘크리트의 특성에 골재의 품질의 영향은 매우 중요하다. 1980년대 이후, 천연자갈과 천연모래의 고갈로 콘크리트에 사용되어지는 골재는 이미 부순돌로 대체되었다. 부순모래는 해사 채취금지와 강모래의 고갈로 사용량이 증가하고 있는 경향이다. 부순모래는 혼입량의 변화와 부순모래의 혼합비(50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100%)의 변화에 따른 콘크리트의 특성을 조사하기 위하여 강모래와 혼합하였다. 경화하지 않은 콘크리트의 성질을 조사하기 위해 슬럼프와 공기량을 측정하였다. 경화한 콘크리트의 성질을 조사하기 위해 재령 7, 28, 60, 90, 180일에 단위중량, 압축강도 그리고 탄성계수를 측정하였다. 압축강도, 단위중량 그리고 탄성계수는 재령의 증가에 따라 값이 증가하였으며 장기 재령에서도 역시 증가할 것으로 예상된다. 지역별 골재의 품질 시험결과들은 모두 KS규격을 만족하였다. 슬럼프 측정결과는 혼입률 70~80%까지는 증가하였으나 그 이상에선 감소하였다. 공기량은 마이크로 필러 현상에 의해 부순모래의 혼입률 증가에 따라 감소하였다. 재령 7, 28, 60, 90, 180일에 단위중량을 측정한 결과에 따르면, 단위중량은 부순골재의 혼입률 증가에 따라 역시 증가하였다. 재령 7, 28, 60, 90, 180일에 압축강도와 탄성계수를 측정한 결과, 압축강도는 혼입률 70%일 때 가장 높게 나타났다.
