Sand-concrete is being researched for potential usage in construction in Saharan regions of Algeria, because of shortage in coarse aggregate resources. This research work deals with the effect of dune sand, available in huge quantities in these regions, on the properties of flowing sand-concrete (FSC) prepared with different proportions of dune and river sands. Mini-cone slump test, v-funnel flow-time test and viscosity measurements were used to characterize the behaviour of FSC in fresh state. The 28-day compressive strength was also determined. Test results show that an optimal content of dune sand, which makes satisfied fresh and hardened properties of FSC, is obtained. Moreover, the obtained flow index (constant b) calculated by the help of power-law viscosity model is successfully correlated to the experimental results of v-funnel flow time.

Thls research Includes est~mat~ons of the relat~on ktween the strength of concrete and the fracture energy for river sand concrete and crushed sand concrete using the wedge sphtting test method. Furthermore the fracture energy and the characteristic length of two types of concrete were compared and d~scussed. Fracture behaviors of crushed sand concrete and natural sand concrete had the similar trend in fracture characteristics. The fracture energy was increased with the increase of compressive strength in the strength range of 20-60MPa, but was not increased for the concrete more than 6OM.Pa of compressive strength.

To the development on reusing method of the heat-source waste at Daegu Bisan dyeing-complex, this study is aimed to application of it's crushing material (hereafter waste sand) as concrete fine aggregate. The results are as follows; 1. Flow and unit weight of mortar using waste sand as concrete fine aggregate are decreased. 2. At the results of compressive strength test and bending strength test, mortar using waste sand superior to plain mortar within 80％ substitute ratio of waste sand. Because increasing rate of compressive strength is similar through increasing age, waste sand performs as filler's function of no-effect with cement only. 3. At the results of concrete application test, unit weight of concrete using waste sand is similar to plain concrete and compressive strength of concrete is superior to plain likewise the results of mortar test

The aimed of this study is to analyze the qualities of foundry waste sand and the basic physic of the concrete mixed with the foundry waste sand, as a way of study for reusing the foundry waste sand disused in the foundry as the fine aggregate for concrete. According to the experimental results, the foundry waste sand is composed of silica ore whose main ingredient is SiO2 and doesn't produce harmful objects of hydration reaction, and the fluidity of concrete shows a decline with the increase of replacement ratio of foundry waste sand, and the compress strength, the tensile strength, the elastic modulus of concrete containing foundry waste sand are improved at the replacement rate of 25%.

In this study, three kinds of fine aggregate (river sand, sea sand, crushed sand) were used and four different s/a (38%, 40%, 42%, 45%) were applied separately to this experimental for get the conclusion written below. Regardless of kinds of fine aggregate and casting-curing condition, maximum unit weight is seen at 40% of s/a and also to be seen in case of crushed sand. It's for that specific gravity of crushed sand is bigger comparatively than river sand and sea snad's one. Compressive strength is measured river sand, crushed sand, sea sand by order of size ; Regardless of variation of s/3, casting-curing condition and age. Compressive strength recorded maximum when s/a is 42% whatever sort of fine aggregate are. As the result, according to references, the optimum s/a of underwater antiwashout concrete is 40% but in this study, from compressive strength of view, the optimum s/a of underwater antiwashout concrete is 42%.

1. Fine aggregates of concrete are very important for the construction works and construction cost determination. Most of fine aggregates are from the river sand, but the amount of storage in the river side is steadily decreasing due to continuous construction works. Therefore, another source of fine aggregates is needed to meet increasied demand of sand. 2. Beach sand is a possible source of fine aggregates. But rust of steel bar is caused by CL-chemical of beach sand. Therefore, desalinization of beach sand is requested to get durable reinforced concrete. Economical methods of desalinization are as follows. (a) Flooding and drainage method. (b) Washing of beach sand with water supply and mixing. (c) Spreading of beach sand on the land and leaching by rain water for a few month. 3. Hardening of concrete with beach sand is accelerated due to salt, Thus early stage strength increase leads to make cracks. Also later stage strength decreases and durability becomes worse. By using appropriate admixture, the quality of concrete can be improved.

The waste foundry sand might be recycled in concrete, resulting in energy saving and environmental protection. An half Factorial Experiments were performed with the variables of W/C ratio, S/A, Sand/Waste foundry sand ratio and Slump as a preliminary study for optimum mix design of concrete. The results show that then W/C ratio is the most important factor to the concrete strength. The substitute of waste foundry sand up to 30% has little influence, saying that it can substitute the fine aggregate without damaging the concrete properties.

This paper is to investigate the effect of W/B, blend ratio of crushed sand with sea sand on fluidity and strength properties of high strength concrete utilizing crushed sand. W/B set up 0.25, 0.30, 0.35 and the blend ratio of crushed sand with sea sand set up 0:100, 30:70, 50:50, 70:30, 100:0 The results of this study are summarized as the follows; 1) The increase of the blend rate of crushed sand, affected on the enhancement of flow, the increase of dosage of SP and water content, but the decrease S/a 2) Compressive strength is increased when crushed sand $30\~70\%$ was replaced with sea sand. 3) The optimal replacement percentage of crushed sand is $50\%$ with sea sand.

Generally, aggregate may limit the workability, strength and durability of concrete, and good concrete cannot be made with aggregate of bad property including low strength, bad shape and grading. But recently, it has been insufficient in quantity to collect good natural aggregate because of exhaustion of aggregate resources. In case of Korea, the using ratio of crushed stone occupies about 97 percent of total coarse aggregate, and ratio of crushed sand occupies about 18.3 percent of total fine aggregate. This is an experimental study to compare and analyze the properties of crushed sand for concrete in capital region and concrete according to the replacement ratio of crushed sand to improve quality and mix design of concrete using crushed sand. According to test results, it was found that nearly all the properties of crushed sand satisfied with the value recommended by KS. And it is recommended that FM of crushed sand should be lowered by improvement of manufacture system or grading adjustment should be used because FM of crushed sand was a bit higher.

The purpose of this research is to estimate the drying shrinkage and durability of concrete using the fine river sand to utilize it actively as an alternative aggregate for concrete. For this purpose, the fine river sand samples were collected at the mid and down stream of main stream of Nakdong-River, and then the concrete specimens using the fine river sand were made according to strength level. After obtaining relation equation between compressive strength and cement-water ratio from the mix experiment result, the concrete specimens using different fine river sand were made for the specified concrete strength of 35MPa, and then their drying shrinkage and durability such as the resistance to freeze and thaw and carbonation were evaluated. It was observed from the test result that the durability of concrete using fine river sand was similar to that of concrete using reference sand, but the drying shrinkage of concrete using the fine river sand with small fineness was comparatively larger than that of concrete using reference sand.
