In this study, to suggest an efficient method of using coal gasification slag(CGS), a byproduct from integrated gasification combined cycle(IGCC), as a combined fine aggregate for concrete mixture, the diverse performances of concrete mixtures with combined fine aggregates of CGS, river sand, and crushed sand were evaluated. Additionally, using CGS, the reduction of the hydration heat and the strength developing performance were analyzed to provide a method for reducing the heat of hydration of mass concrete by using combined fine aggregate with CGS and replacing fly ash with cement. The results of the study can be summarized as follows: as a method of recycling CGS from IGCC as concrete fine aggregate, a combination of CGS with crushed sand offers advantages for the concrete mixture. Additionally, when the CGS combined aggregate is used with low-heat-mix designed concrete with fly ash, it has the synergistic effect of reducing the hydration heat of mass concrete compared to the low-heat-designed concrete mixture currently in wide use.

Rheological properties such as yield stress and viscosity is the main parameters to determine the fluidity of the debris flow. In this study, several series of rheometer tests were performed to investigate rheological properties of fine-grained soil samples with various sand contents and various liquidity indices. Test results indicated that the general shape of the flow curves for fine-grained soils had characteristics of a shear thinning fluid, with a decrease in viscosity as shear rate increases. The yield stress and viscosity of fine-grained soil samples with same sand content gradually decreased as the liquidity index increased. At the same liquidity index, yield stress and viscosity of fine-grained soil increased with an increase in sand content. The yield stress and viscosity of fine-grained soil greatly decreased with a slight increase in water content. Also, the yield stress and viscosity tend to increase with increasing concentration by volume($C_v$) of the fluid matrix. The values of the four coefficients ${\alpha}_1$, ${\alpha}_2$, ${\beta}_1$, and ${\beta}_2$ were obtained by regression analysis for each fine-grained 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.

It is expected that the proportion of crushed aggregate will increase in order to fill the decreasing supply of sea sand in the southeast area. However, it is necessary to supply the least amount of sea sand to diversify the aggregate source, in order to minimize the mixing ratio of sea sand and crushed sand to minimize the structural stability of the concrete.

A turfgrass rootzone foundation is one of the important iufluences on the growth of cool-season turfgrass such as Kentucky bluegrass, which is usually grown on korean golf courses and athletic fields in Korea. This study was carried out to evaluate the growth of Kentucky bluegrass on 4 types of turfgrass root-zone foundations: a 2cm thickness of Sand 90%+Peat humus 8%+Zeolite 2% mixture on a subsoil base (C), a 20cm thickness of Sand 90%+Peat humus 8%+Zeolite 2% mixture (S), a 20cm thickness of Sand 45%+fine sand(a sort of Bomyungsa) 45%+Peat humus 8%+Zeolite 2% mixture (S+F), and a 20cm thickness of Sand 45%+fine sand(a sort of Bomyungsa) 45%+Peat humus 8%+Zeolite 2% mixture on a 20cm thick drainage layer (S+F(G)). Visual ratings of Kentucky bluegrass on the C foundation were low throughout the experiment when compared to S, S+F, and S+F(G) foundations, which contained high contents of sand with a high water infiltration rate. However, poor growth of Kentucky bluegrass in the summer of 1991 on the S foundation was likely to be caused by a too high water infiltration rate (185.8cm/hr). The growth of Kentucky bluegrass on the S+F(G) was good while the growth was a little weak at the developing stage on the S +F foundation. If the cost had to be considered when constructing golf courses and athletic fields, The S+F foundation without the drainage layer would be the best choice in terms of low cost and good quality of Kentucky bluegrass compared to the S+F(G). In this result, the infiltration rate was regarded as the most influential factor to the growth of Kentucky bluegrass on rootzone foundations.

Mineral composition and chemical properties of Hwangto (reddish residual soil) that used in feeding of cattles at Iksan, Jeollabuk-do, Korea were examined according to particle size separation such as gravel, sand, silt, coarse clay and fine clay. Mineral composition analyses reveal that gravel and sand are mainly composed of quartz and feldspars and that kaolin mineral and illite are dominant in clay and silt. Iron oxides are mainly included in fine clay. According to chemical analyses of major elements, Al, Fe and $H_2O$ contents are increased with decreasing of particle size. This trend well agrees with increase of clay minerals in smaller particles, Chemical analyses of trace elements indicate that contents of Zn, Rb, Sr, Ba, Pb significantly differ with particle sizes. Ba and Sr are included in feldspars since these elements are abundant in sand containing abundant feldspars. Pb and Sm are abundant in sample before particle size separation, but the contents are significantly decreased after separation. Therefore, most of these elements appear to be existed as removable phase. Nb, La, Th, Ce are more abundant in silt. The contents of all the other trace elements tend to be increased in smaller particles containing more clay minerals. The contents of changeable cations and teachable elements in acid and alkali solutions are high in clay samples. All the above results indicate that using the portion of smaller particle of Hwangto for livestock feed rather than bulk Hwangto can improve cation exchangeable capacity, ion leaching capacity and sorption properties.

This study was performed to analyze strength characteristics of concrete using FWS(foundry waste sand), as a way of study for reusing the FWS disused in the foundry as the fine aggregate for concrete. As the experimental results, the slump of concrete showed a decline with the increase of replacement ratio of FWS. The compressive strength of concrete made with FWS 25% replacement river sand showed higher value than that of concrete not containing FWS, but the flexural strength of concrete containing FWS was decreased 21% compared with that of concrete not containing FWS at age of 28days.

This work is conducted with the aim of using waste material to reserve the natural resources. The objective is accomplished by conducting experimentation and verify by modeling based on fuzzy logic. In experimentation, concrete is casted by using natural/river sand as fine aggregate and termed as control specimen. Natural sand is conserved by replacing it with used foundry sand (UFS) by an amount of 10, 20 and 30% by weight. Fresh and hardened properties of concrete are investigated at different ages. It is observed that compressive strength and modulus of elasticity reduced with the increase in amount of UFS. Furthermore, concrete compressive strength is predicted by using fuzzy logic model and verified at different replacement ratio and age with experimental observations.
