No-fines concrete is concrete from which the fine aggregate fraction has been omitted. The concrete so formed, consisting only of coarse aggregate, cement, and water, has large voids uniformly distributed through its mass. This study was performed to obtain the basic data which can be applied to the use of no-fines concrete. The data was based on the properties of no-fines concrete depending upon various mixing ratios. The results obtained were summarized as follows. 1. Test result of the consistency, suitable water-cement ratio was increased with the increasing of mixing ratio. 2. At the suitable water-cement ratio, the highest strengths were showed. But it gradually was decreased with the increasing of mixing ratio and strengths are considerably lower than that of conventional portland cement concrete. 3. The relations between compressive and tensile strength were highly singnificant as a straight line shaped. The strength ratio was decreased with the increasing of mixing ratio and considerably lower than of conventional portland cement concrete. 4. Bulk density was decreased with the increasing of the mixing ratio, and was similar to that of the conventional portland cement concrete at mixing ratio 1:4. 5. The relations between strength and bulk density were highly significant as a straight line shaped. The decreasing ratio of strengths was higher than that of bulk density.

Development of the construction industry generally exhausts natural aggregate. Hence it is problem to the lack of supply and quality deterioration, so the resource saving and protection of environment is made an effort through recycling by-product. This study presents that fundamental properties of concrete which used cooper slag as alternate sand of low fineness modulus and plan of cooper slag as concrete aggregate. Testing factors are concrete's slump, air contents, unit weight and compressive strength. The results of this study are as follows; (1) Concrete slump is generally satisfied with the condition but is inferior to the others in substitution rates 30%. Also air contents are 3.1-4.1% and go up according to increase substitution rate. (2) Unit weight increase in 1.1% as the mixing ratio of cooper slag argument 10%. (3) compressive strength of cooper slag concrete is similar to plain and especially higher 11-15% in W/C 45%, 50%. So it seems that aggregate mixed cooper slag is suitable to low water-cement ratio mixture.

It is necessary to re-establish the code and to control the quality of the recycled aggregate itself for ensuring the useability of the recycled aggregate using waste concrete. Generally, adhering mortar cause of the water absorption ratio increment and strength decreased at the surface of the aggregate of the recycled aggregate using waste concrete, thus removing the adhering mortar could increase the useability of the recycled aggregate in the concrete industry. In this study, as a quality control method of the recycled aggregate using waste concrete, the quality characteristic of the recycled aggregate according to the mixing proportion between the recycled and the natural aggregate is obtained Therefore, a system is established to reuse the recycled aggregate in the construction industry.

This study analyzed the fundamental properties and strength properties of concrete utilizing Bottom Ash as coarse aggregate for concrete. As a result, compared to non-mixture, the slump decreases about 4.5${\sim}$54.2% as the mixing ratio of Bottom Ash increases. However, influence of the air contents is very little. The bleeding shows similar slump characteristics, and the primary stage of bleeding decreases as the mixing ratio of Bottom Ash increases. As the mixing ratio of Bottom Ash increases, the compressive strength decreases. When Bottom Ash is mixed by 40%, compressive strength decreases about 1.1${\sim}$5.3%. Even when Bottom Ash is mixed over 60%, compressive strength decreases sharply and is revealed about 85.2${\sim}$87.7% of non-mixture concrete strength. To utilize Bottom Ash in large quantities, it is thought that the improvement method of strength has to be discussed such as mixing strengthening element.

Conventional concrete mixing method is to put all of the materials simultaneously into a mixer and mix for a required time. However, recently concrete researchers have reported that mixing sequence iufluences the properties of concrete. This study discusses the influence of mixing sequence and partitioning addition of mixing water. Concrete, by method of partitioning addition of mixing water, was found to have substantially stronger strength than conventional concrete with the same water-cement ratio. This means that a higher strength concrete could be obtained by using “Sand Enveloped with Cement”(S.E.C) mixing technique. Both a high bond strength between cement paste and aggregate, and elimination of bleeding both contribute to improving the strength of S. E. C concrete.

Most difficulties of inducing high fluidity on the concrete mixing design with a strength range of 210 to 240kg/$\textrm{cm}^2$ result from the segregation of aggregates due to the shortage of cementitious binders. To solve the problem, this study concentrated on finding the optimized amount of binder material which does not affect the concrete strength and is also economical. Also there were studies on the use of intermediate sized aggregates to avoid the gap-grading between coarse and fine aggregates so that the material segregation in high flowing concrete was and minimalized the fluidity and penetration capacity of the reinforcing bars was enhanced. Throughout the parametric study with respect to water/binder ratio. superplasticizer. replaceable mineral admixture, the size of coarse aggregate and mixing methods, the effect of each constituent on the characteristics of high flowing concrete could be observed. As a result or partially using stone powder or an intermediate class of aggregate (max. diameter 13mm) . it was fund that the fluidity of concrete significantly increased without material segregation and any change of compressive strengths. It was also proved in this study that proper mixing time and speed are significant factors influence the performence of high flowing concrete.

This study investigated influence of fine aggregate types on fundamental properties of cement mortar. Test showed that concrete using lime stone crushed fine aggregate(L) exhibited the most favorable fluidity due to grain shape and particle distribution, and next was blending aggregate miting L and G, blending aggregate mixing L and N, granite crushed fine aggregate(G), natural fine aggregate(N) in an order. Concrete using N had the highest air content and L was the smallest value because of the effective filling performance by continuos particle distribution. Compressive, tensile and flexural strength of all concrete using L had the highest value due to the smallest value of air content. It is also found that concrete using L resulted in decrease of drying shrinkage length change ratio.

Recycled aggregates show high water absorption rate compared to natural aggregates due to microcrack developed during production process and adhered cement pastes at the surface of recycled aggregates. This leads to the deterioration of mechanical properties and slow work flow. Currently it is getting hard to satisfy high demand for natural aggregates. Utilizing recycled aggregate more widely may be a substitutable countermeasure for the shortage of natural resources. In this study, two-stage mixing approach(TSMA) suggested by Tam et al. is used to produce recycled aggregate concrete(RAC) with 100 % replacement of coarse natural aggregate and tests for compressive strength, elastic modulus, and chloride ion diffusion coefficient are conducted to find out the effect of TSMA compared to normal mixing method. According to experimental result compressive strength and elastic modulus of RAC with TSMA was superior to those of RAC with normal mixing irrespective of water-cement ratio, and in some cases mechanical properties of RAC with TSMA approached to those of natural aggregate concrete(NAC). However, chloride ion diffusion coefficient of RAC was higher than that of NAC. This illustrates that TSMA is not an appropriate method in reducing chloride ion diffusion coefficient, resulting in inconsequential contribution of TSMA to the durability of RAC.
