Concrete mix proportioning is a process of selecting the right combination of many materials such as cement, fine aggregates, coarse aggregates, water, and admixtures to make concrete satisfying for specification and cost. In determining proportioning of concrete mixes, code information, specification, and the experience of experts are needed. However, all factors regarding mix proportioning factor cannot be considered. Therefore, the final acceptance depends on concrete quality control test results. The proportioning of concrete mixes and the adjustments are somewhat complicated, time-consuming, and uncertain tasks. In this paper, as a tool to predict the factor of the proportioning of concrete mixes, an artificial neural network is used. To consider the varieties of material properties, the standard mixed table of two companies of ready mixed concrete are used. The results show that neural net works is successfully applied to the prediction of concrete mix proportioning factor.

We investigated the effect of ionic component on crystalline morphology development during isothermal annealing in a sodium neutralized sulfonated poly(ethylene terephthalate) ionomer (Ion-PET) by time-resolved small-angle x-ray scattering (TR-SAX S) using synchrotron radiation. At early stage in Ion-PET, SAXS intensity at a low annealing temperature (Ta = 120 $^{\circ}C)$ decreased monotonously with scattering angle for a while. Then SAXS profile showed a peak and the peak position progressively moved to wider angles with isothermal annealing time. Finally, the peak intensity decreased, shifting the peak angle to wider angle. It is revealed that ionic aggregates (multiplets structure) of several nm, calculated by Debye-Bueche plot, are formed at early stage. They seem to accelerate the crystallization rate and make fine crystallites without spherulite formation (supported by optical microscopy observation). From decrease of peak intensity in SAXS,it is suggested that new lamellae are inserted between the preformed lamellae so that the concentration of ionic multiplets in amorphous region decreases to lower the electron density difference between lamellar crystal and amorphous region. In addition, analysis on the annealing at a high temperature (Ta = 210 $^{\circ}C)$ by optical microscopy, light scattering and transmission electron microscopy shows a formation of spherulite, no ionic aggregates, the retarded crystallization rate and a high level of lamellar orientation.

숏크리트의 배합에 스크리닝스를 활용하는 기술이 친환경적인 측면에서 필요할것으로 분석되었다. 따라서, 스크리닝스의 재활용은 단순히 폐자재의 활용에 의미가 있는 것뿐만 아니라, 최근의 양질 모래 부족으로 인한 품질저하를 극복하는 방안이 될 수 있다. 본 연구에서는, 숏크리트용 혼합골재로서 스크리닝스의 활용성을 평가하고자 5개 지역별 스크리닝스에 대한 물리적인 특성과 스크리닝스를 혼합한 잔골재의 물리적인 특성, 그리고 숏크리트용 혼합골재의 입도분포에 미치는 영향을 분석하여 스크리닝스의 종류에 따른 최대 혼입량을 산정하였다.

Two different types of rubber aggregates (40 mesh rubber powder and 1-4 mm rubber particles respectively) were devised to substitute fine aggregates at 10%, 15%, 20% and 30% by volume in self-compacting concrete to investigate their basic mechanical properties. The results show that with the increase of rubber content, the reduction of compressive strength, splitting tensile strength and static modulus of elasticity gradually increase, and energy dissipation performance gradually increase. The rubber addition significantly reduces brittleness and decelerates damaged process. Whilst, the effect of rubber particles is greater when they are finer. Considering the mechanical properties, the optimal rubber content is 10%. It is recommended that the rubber volume content in rubberized concrete (RC) should not be higher than 20%. In addition, a constitutive model under uniaxial compression was proposed basing on the strain equivalent principle of Lemaitre and the damage theory, which was in good agreement with the test curves.

A series of experiments were performed to evaluate the effects of activated carbon on the compressive strength and air content of Portland Cement Concrete (PCC). Activated carbon/PCC composites were prepared by mixing concrete components with commercial activated carbon granules with weight fractions of 0, 0.5%, 1%, and 2% to cement. All PCC specimens were then tested for compressive strength on 7, 14, 21, and 28 days. The experimental results showed that adding 0.5% of activated carbon increased the compressive strength significantly over the curing periods compared to the normal PCC without activated carbon. For the specimens has 0.5% activated carbon, the 7, 14, 21, and 28-day compressive strengths increased by 28.7%, 22.2%, 26.8%, and 22.9%, respectively. However, adding excessive amounts of more than 1% activated carbon had a minimal effect on the compressive strength or even decreased it, which agrees with other studies. Regarding the air contents of the mixtures, adding activated carbon decreased the air content from 3.6% to around 1.5%. The surface morphologies of fine aggregates and activated carbon particles were compared using a novel image processing technique. The results indicated that the surface of activated carbon significantly differs from that of aggregates.

급속공사 현장에 사용되는 속경성 보수모르타르의 내구성능 증진을 위해 사용재료의 물리적 성능을 평가하였다. 이를 위해 염화물 확산 억제 성능을 보유한 페로니켈 수쇄슬래그 잔골재와 급결제, EVA계 폴리머를 모르타르에 치환시켜 급결성능과 기초적 성능을 평가하였다. 그 결과 FNS잔골재 및 RS잔골재 사용에 따른 압축강도, 휨강도, 부착강도가 증가되었다. 속경성 폴리머 모르타르의 염화물 이온 촉진시험의 결과 FNS를 50%이하 사용 시 재령 7일에서 재령 28일간 염화물 억제 성능이 유지되었으며, FNS잔골재 및 RS잔골재 사용에 따른 내구성 저하는 발견되지 않았으나, 건축 및 토목용 대체골재로 사용하는데 경제성 및 장기 내구성에 대한 추가 검토가 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

본 실험에서는 포틀랜드 시멘트와 모래를 비소성 시멘트와 페로니켈슬래그로 대체 사용하여 친환경 시멘트 모르타르를 제작하였다. 페로니켈슬래그가 적용된 비소성 시멘트 모르타르의 강도 특성을 파악하기 위해 골재 종류와 양생방법을 구분하였다. 휨 및 압축강도 시험 결과, 페로니켈슬래그가 적용된 비소성 시멘트 모르타르의 강도는 Plain과 증기양생을 실시한 비소성 시멘트 모르타르의 강도보다 높았다. 이는 페로니켈슬래그의 입도, 밀도 및 흡수율 특성에 따른 강도 향상 효과로 판단된다. 모르타르의 XRD 분석 결과, 페로니켈슬래그에 포함된 MgO 성분이 복합 산화물 형태로 존재하며, 이를 통해 페로니켈슬래그가 적용된 비소성 시멘트 모르타르의 안정적인 강도 발현을 확인하였다.

Recently, interest grew recently on the quality of aggregates following the diminution of primary resources from river and the growing construction demand which exhausted high-quality sand sources around large cities and incited the use of low grade aggregates like shore sand and sea sand that can be supplied in natural state. Especially, the environmental preservation concern and the augmentation of public grievance about the exploitation of sea sand as substitute to river sand are gradually impeding the supply. This situation aggravated by the recent interdiction to extract sea sand which resulted in sand crisis that even led once to the suspension of construction works. The lack of sea sand and river sand increased the exploitation of crushed sand which occupies now nearly 20% of the whole quantity of fine aggregates. And, the use of crushed sand may be expected to grow continuously in the future. This paper described that the properties of crushed sand and the concrete using the crushed sand, the technologies to improve quality of crushed sand and the concrete in order to provide information for the production of high-quality concrete using crushed sand.

Construction waste is known to include a large part of coarse and fine aggregates, which can be recirculated in the industry. Separating those aggregates economically from the waste has been thus considered to be one of the most important issues in this field. In particular, paste mixed in the waste causes significant complain from the inhabitants living near the place where waste-processing equipments are built and operated. In this study, we investigate the operational principle of a newly developed paste separator by using theoretical (in this first part) and CFD (in the second part) analysis. The separator consists of a rotor which turned out to play a significant role in separating those pastes from the aggregates. Under suitable assumptions regarding the air flow velocity as well as the particle velocity, we show that particles can be stagnant at the outlet of the roto channel for a wide range of parameter values, which allow the particles to get enough time to settle down via the gravitation. We also demonstrate such phenomenon by using a simple numerical simulation.
