In this paper, the properties of cement mortar used recycled aggregate are analyzed and compared with river and crushed sand mortar. Recycled aggregates are made by crushing wasted concrete had various compressive strength, and test items are the properties of fresh mortar, hardened mortar and durability. According to the experimental results, flow, unitweight, strength and durability of cement mortar used recycled aggregates decrease compared with those of river and crushed sand mortar.

Recently, the use of lightweight concrete in architectural structures are increasing. It is considered important to control the quality of lightweight concrete. The purpose of this study is to find mechanical properties of lightweight concrete using the expanded clay. Thus, slump, air content, compressive strength, splitting tensile strength, length change ratio, unitweight change ratio and absorption of lightweight concrete have been investigated. As a result, it was shown that proper expanded clay replaced by coarse aggregate in concrete was considered as a good replacement of lightweight concrete.

The purpose of this study is to find the mechanical properties of lightweight concrete using expanded clay. Thus, slump, air content, compressive strength, elastic modulus, tensile strength, length change ratio, unitweight change ratio and absorption of lightweight concrete have been investigated. The conclusions of this study are as follows ; 1. The loss of slump and air content of concrete increased as the expanded clay content increased and the size of coarse aggregate decreased. 2. The compressive strength of concrete using 100% expanded clay of 13, 19mm size at 28 days were respectively 282, $252kgf/cm^2$. 3. The elastic modulus and tensile strength of concrete decreased with increase of expanded clay content. 4. The length change ratio of concrete increased with the larger coarse aggregate size, and decreased with the increase of expanded clay content. 5. The unit weight of concrete decreased with the increase of expanded clay content, and the ratio of that was larger at the early age.

This paper presents the improved elastic modulus equation more appropriate to predict the modulus of elasticity of structural elements designed and made by high- and ultra high-strength concrete under domestic situation in Korea. To justify and assess the proposed elastic modulus equation, more than 400 laboratory test data domestically available in the literature and having the range of 400 to 1.000kg/$\textrm{cm}^2$ in concrete compressive strength were collected and analyzed statistically. Comparison of the proposed elastic modulus equation with the previously suggested equations in the ACI363R. CEB-FIP, NS3473 and New-RC were also presented to demonstrate the applicability to practice.
