Use of recycled aggregates in portland cement concrete (PCC) construction can offer benefits associated with both economy and sustainability. Testing performed to date indicates that recycled brick masonry aggregate (RBMA) can be used as a 100% replacement for conventional coarse aggregate in concrete that exhibits acceptable mechanical properties for use in structural and pavement elements, including satisfactory performance in some durability tests. Recycled brick masonry aggregate concrete (RBMAC) is currently not used in any type of construction in the United States. However, use of RBMAC could become a viable construction strategy as sustainable building practices become the norm. This paper explores the feasibility of use of RBMAC in several types of sustainable construction initiatives, based upon the findings of previous work with RBMAC that incorporates RBMA produced from construction and demolition waste from a case study site. A summary of material properties of RBMAC that will be useful to construction professionals are presented, along with a discussion of advantages and impediments to use. Several quality assurance and quality control techniques that could be incorporated into specifications are identified.

The masonry structure is constructed by cement mortar binding material of brick objects and uses reinforced hardware (connected hardware or wall tie) together when building. However, over time, the corrosion of reinforced steel and the deterioration of joint mortar as well as bricks cause the risk of collapse. In particular, when the externally decorated brick wall is installed on the concrete girder for each floor, the angle bracket is not constructed or corroded, the full-layer weight load is applied to the wall of 0.5B, which is an example of full-scale or collapse. The purpose of this study is to provide numerical information on the reinforcement design by experimentally studying the structural performance of concrete reinforcement brackets that reinforce the vertical load of the exterior wall.

An economic, structurally effective and practically applicable strengthening technique was developed for reinforced concrete (RC) framed buildings. The idea of the technique is to convert the existing hollow brick infill wall into a load carrying system acting as a cast-in-place RC infill wall by bonding relatively thin high strength precast concrete PC panels to the plastered hollow brick infill. For this purpose, a total of eight one-third scale, one bay, one story frames were tested under reversed-cyclic lateral loads. Test frames were designed and constructed with common deficiencies observed in practice. Four different panel types were used for strengthening. Test results showed that both strength and stiffness of the frames were significantly improved by the introduction of PC panels. Experimental results were compared with the analytical approaches suggested by the authors.

본 연구는 순환골재의 불순물로 분류되고 있는 부순 적벽돌을 콘크리트용 대체 굵은골재로 사용하기 위한 것이다. 부순 적벽돌 혼입량별(0%, 30%, 60%) 재료실험과 부재실험을 통하여 순환골재가 철근콘크리트에 미치는 재료 및 구조적인 특성을 파악하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 일반 쇄석에 대하여 순환골재의 불순물로 분류되고 있는 부순 적벽돌을 혼입률 30%까지 치환하여 사용하여도 일반 쇄석을 사용한 콘크리트와 거의 유사한 압축강도, 인장강도, 휨 강도를 갖는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 부순 적벽돌을 사용한 철근콘크리트 보의 실제 구조물에 대한 적용이 가능할 것으로 사료된다. 또한, 추후 부순 적벽돌을 사용한 콘크리트의 전단실험 및 연성계수를 향상 시킬 수 있는 혼화재의 배합과 적용에 관한 연구가 필요할 것이다.

In this paper, the effect of the type and amount of fibers on the physicomechanical properties of concrete containing fine recycled refractory brick (RRB) and natural aggregate subjected to elevated temperatures was investigated. For this purpose, forta-ferro (FF), polypropylene (PP), and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) fibers with the volume fractions of 0, 0.25, and 0.5%, as well as steel fibers with the volume fractions of 0, 0.75, and 1.5% were used in the concrete containing RRB fine aggregate replacing natural sand by 0 and 100%. In total, 162 concrete specimens from 18 different mix designs were prepared and tested in the temperature groups of 23, 400, and $800^{\circ}C$. After experiencing heat, the concrete properties including the compressive strength, ultrasonic pulse velocity (UPV), weight loss, and surface appearance were evaluated and compared with the corresponding results of the reference (unheated) specimens. The results show that using RRB fine aggregate replacing natural fine aggregate by 100% led to an increase in the concrete compressive strength in almost all the mixes, and only in the PVA-containing mixes a decrease in strength was observed. Furthermore, UPV values at $800^{\circ}C$ for all the concrete mixes containing RRB fine aggregate were above those of the natural aggregate concrete specimens. Finally, regarding the compressive strength and UPV results, steel fibers demonstrated a better performance relative to other fiber types.

CR-39 플라스틱 핵비적검출기를 라돈검출기로 내장한 멤브레인 필터컵(일명 : CR-39 라돈컵)을 이용하여 일부 국산건축자재의 라돈방출율을 측정하였다. 표준라듐선원을 이용한 라돈컵의 교정 실험을 수행하여 얻은 CR-39 검출기의 라돈검출인자는 $0.164{\pm}0.005(tracks \;cm^{-2}/Bq\;d\;m^{-3})$였으며 타 연구자들의 발표결과와 잘 일치하였다. 일부 건축자재(모래벽돌, 적벽돌, 화장석판, 콘크리트 덩어리, 건물바닥과 내벽)에 CR-39 라돈컵을 2개월 동안 기밀 부착하여 라돈방출율을 측정한 결과, 라돈방출율은 모래벽돌에서 평균$(75.0{\pm}5.5){\times}10^{-6}(Bq/m^2-s)$, 화강석판에서 $(6.8{\pm}2.9){\times}10^{-6}Bq/m^2-s)$로 10배정도의 차이를 보였으며, 모래벽돌>콘크리트바닥>콘크리트덩어리>건물벽>적벽돌>화강석 판의 순서를 보였다. 본 연구 결과, CR-39 라돈컵에 의해서도 건축자재의 라돈방출율을 효과적으로 측정할 수 있음이 입증하였다.

The primary purpose of this investigation is to find out the shear behavior and the shear capacity of RC bare frames, brick-infilled RC frames, and damper-retrofitted RC frames and to evaluate the average shear strength of brick--infill wall. The main variables art the absence of brick infill wall and steel plate slit damper. The test results show that the shear capacity of specimen IF-DR is 2.8 times as high as that of the specimen BF and it presents the fact that the retrofitting effect and the possibility of RC frame reuse with changing the slit damper is verified. And the average shear strength of the brick infill wall is figured to be at $5.0 kgf/cm^2$.

Heavy oil fly ash (HOFA) is a byproduct generated by the burning of heavy fuel oil. Chemical analysis showed that HOFA is mainly composed of unburned carbon with a significant amount of heavy metals. Due to toxicity, management of this waste poses a challenge to the industry personal. The present study investigates the possible use of HOFA as a black pigment or admixture in cement mortar aiming to produce ornamental brick. In order to investigate the change of cement mortar strength when HOFA is added, the standard compressive strength test with 50 mm cubes was performed. The results showed that the addition of 2-5 % of HOFA in cement mortar does not affect its strength. The leaching behavior of trace elements within HOFA and HOFA mixed mortar were investigated through laboratory batch leaching experiments. The results confirmed that HOFA can be utilized as a black pigment in ornamental brick, which is environmentally safe and provides good balance between color and brick properties.

Structural safety has always been a key preoccupation for engineers responsible for the design of civil engineering projects. One of the mechanisms of structural failure, which has gathered increasing attention over the past few decades, is referred to as 'progressive collapse' which happens when one or several structural members suddenly fail, whatever the cause (accident, attack, seismic loading(.Any weakness in design or construction of structural elements can induce the progressive collapse in structures, during seismic loading. Masonry infill panels have significant influence on structure response against the lateral load. Therefore in this paper, seismic performance and shear strength of R.C frames with brick infill panel under various lateral loading patterns are investigated. This evaluation is performed by nonlinear static analysis. The results provided important information for additional design guidance on seismic safety of RC frames with brick infill panel under progressive collapse.
