The purpose of this study is to manufacture lightweight aggregates for recycling water treatment sludge, to identify the physical properties of the aggregates, and present a method of utilizing the manufactured lightweight aggregates. The chemical composition and thermal properties were examined via a raw materials analysis. The aggregate examined here was fired by the rapid sintering method and the single-particle density and water absorption rate were measured. Water treatment sludge has high ignition loss and high fire resistance. When 30wt% of purified sludge was added, the single-particle density of the aggregates was in the range of 0.8~1.2g/cm³ at a temperature of 1,150~1,200℃. At temperatures of 1200℃ or higher, ultra-light aggregates having a single-particle density of 0.8 or less could be produced. When applied to concrete by replacing the general aggregate in the concrete, a specimen having strength values of 200 to 450 kgf/cm² on 28 days was obtained, and when applied as a filter material, the performance was equal to or higher than that of ordinary sand.

Aggregate typically refers to sand and gravel formed by the transportation of rocks in rivers or artificially crushed, constituting a core resource in the construction industry. Gyeongsangbuk-do, the largest administrative area in South Korea, produces various sources of gravel, including forest, land (excluding other sources), river, and crushed stone. As of 2022, it has extracted approximately 6.96 million cubic meters of aggregate, with permitted production totaling around 4.07 million cubic meters and reported production of about 2.88 million cubic meters. The aggregate demand in Gyeongsangbuk-do is estimated to be 12.39 million cubic meters according to the estimation method in Ready-Mix Concrete. From the supply perspective, about 120 extraction sites are operational, with most municipalities maintaining an appropriate balance between aggregate demand and supply. However, in some areas, there is inbound and outbound transportation of aggregate to neighboring regions. Regions with significant inbound and outbound aggregate transportation in Gyeongsangbuk-do are areas connected to Daegu Metropolitan City and Pohang City along the Gyeongbu rail line, showing a high correlation with population distribution. Gyeongsangbuk-do faces challenges such as population decline, aging rural areas, and insufficient balanced regional development. Analysis using GIS reveals these trends in gravel demand and supply. Currently in this study, Gyeongsangbuk-do meets its demand for aggregate through the supply of various aggregate sources, maintaining stable aggregate procurement. River and terrestrial aggregates may be sustained as short-term supply strategies due to the difficulty of longterm development. Considering the reliance on raw material supply for selective crushing, it suggests the need for raw material management to maintain stability. Gyeongsangbuk-do highlights quarries in the forest as an important resource for sustainable aggregate supply, advocating for the development of large-scale aggregate quarries as a long-term alternative. These research findings are expected to provide valuable insights for formulating strategies for sustainable management and stable utilization of aggregate resources.

도로소음은 다양한 소음원에 의해 발생하며, 도로를 이용하는 사람과 도로 주변사람에게 큰 불편을 초래한다. 보다 쾌적한 환경을 원하는 현대인에게 있어 도로 소음의 경감은 중요한 환경 공해로 작용한다. 도로 소음을 줄이기 위해서는 여러 가지 방법이 있을 수 있으며, 이 중 도로 포장의 개선을 통해 도로 소음을 경감할 수 있으며, 이와 같은 포장을 저소음 포장이라고 한다. 저소음 포장은 주행하는 차량의 타이어와 노면이 마찰하면서 발생하는 소음을 최소화하기 위한 것으로 소음 발생의 메커니즘을 바탕으로 하고 있다. 저소음 포장중 가장 널리 사용되고 있는 방법은 공극을 늘리는 것이다. 약 20%의 공극은 타이어와 노면 사이의 에어펌핑음을 최소화 하며, 소리를 흡수하는 역할로 약 3dB의 소음 가소 효과가 있는 것으로 알려져 있다. 소음을 감소시키는 또 하나의 방법은 노면의 표면 조직을 매끈하게 하여 타이어와 노면의 충격음을 줄이는 방법이다. 노면의 평탄성을 개선하기 위해 포장에 사용되는 골재의 최대크기를 줄이는 소입경 포장을 소음 가소의 목적으로 유럽 등지에서 많이 사용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 이와 같은 저소음 기능을 위해 공극률을 크게 하고 소입경 골재를 사용하는 소입경 저소음 포장의 현장 적용을 위한 배합 설계를 수행하였다. 소입경 저소음 포장의 최대 골재 크기는 현장 적용성과 경제성을 고려하여 10mm 골재를 사용하였으며, 수도권에서 입수한 4곳의 산지 골재를 분석하여 골재 합성 입도를 산정하였다. 10mm 저소음 포장의 골재 입도 범위는 공극률 15~18%를 목표로 하며, 이를 만족하기 위하여 배합 설계를 수행한 결과 5mm 통과 중량 백분율이 약 30%로 하는 개립도가 적당한 것으로 나타났다. 공극이 증가함에 따라 포장의 내구성 향상을 위해 사용된 고점도 바인더는 아스팔트 혼합물의 생산 및 시공온도를 증가시키게 된다. 또한 굵은골재의 비율이 높은 개립도 아스팔트 혼합물의 경우 운반과정과 포설 과정에서 온도가 빨리 떨어지는 단점이 있다. 이를 극복하기 위하여 중온 첨가제의 사용을 통해 생산 및 다짐온도를 낮추고자 하였다. 소입경 저소음 포장의 배합설계 과정은 배수성 포장의 배합설계 과정과 유사하나, 칸타브로 손실률과 흐름실험의 변곡점을 기준으로 할 경우, 칸타브로 손실률과 흐름 손실률이 매우 작아 변곡점을 판단하기 어렵기 때문에 칸타브로 손실률과 흐름 손실률의 기준 만족 여부로 판별하고, 최적 아스팔트 함량은 공극률을 기준으로 산정하는 것이 바람직할 것으로 판단된다. 중온 첨가제를 사용할 경우는 중온 첨가제로 인한 점도의 변화를 감안하여 혼합 및 다짐 온도를 결정하고 배합 설계를 수행하며, 중온 첨가제의 특성과 양에 따라 최적 아스팔트 함량이 변화하게 된다.

Twenty-four beam specimens were tested to examine the effect of the maximum aggregate size on the shear behavior of lightweight concrete continuous beams. The maximum aggregate size varied from 4 mm to 19 mm and shear span-to-depth ratio was 2.5 and 0.6 in each all-lightweight, sand-lightweight and normal weight concrete groups. The ratio of the normalized shear capacity of lightweight concrete beams to that of the company normal weight concrete beams was also compared with the modification factor specified in ACI 318-05 for lightweight concrete. The microphotograph showed that some unsplitted aggregates were observed in the failure planes of lightweight concrete beams, which contributed to the enhancement of the shear capacity of lightweight concrete beams. As a result, the normalized shear capacity of lightweight concrete continuous beams increased with the increase of the maximum aggregate size, though the increasing rate was lower than that of normal weight concrete continuous beams. The modification factor specified in ACI 318-05 was generally unconservative in the continuous lightweight concrete beams, showing an increase of the unconservatism with the increase of the maximum aggregate size. In addition, the conservatism of the shear provisions of ACI 318-05 was lower in lightweight concrete beams than in normal weight concrete beams.

In this study, recycled concrete aggregates (RCA) were treated in a 5-kg-scale prototype reactor with carbon dioxide (CO₂) to enhance their material quality and geotechnical performance. The aggregate crushing value (ACV) and California bearing ratio (CBR) were measured on untreated RCAs and CO₂-treated RCAs. After CO₂ treatment, the ACV decreased from 35.6% to 33.2%, and the CBR increased from 97.5% to 102.4%. The CO₂ treatment caused a reduction of fine particle generation and an increase in bearing capacity through carbonation. When CO₂ treatment was performed with mechanical agitation, which provided additional enhancement in mechanical quality, the ACV was reduced further to 30.3%, and the CBR increased to 137.7%. If upscaled effectively, the proposed CO₂ treatment technique would be an effective method to reduce carbon emissions in construction industries.

Amount of disposed construction materials like waste concrete is growing fast and use of the recycled aggregate for concrete has been seriously considered. But the use of the recycled aggregate is very limited because recycled aggregate has very low quality. Therefore, quality of recycled aggregate is very important in the manufacturing of recycled aggregate concrete. We have studied a series of research according to chemical processes and investigate the alkaline elimination effect of recycled aggregate and quality variation of recycled aggregate by sodium carbonate. Thereafter we have evaluated quality of recycled fine aggregate and experimented quality of this aggregate. As a results, we find that it is easy to eliminate the calcium hydroxide in recycled aggregate by sodium carbonate and the quality of recycled aggregate increase by elimination of alkaline.

As the amount of construction wastes increase, reuse of demolished concrete is being considered in research areas. Reflecting these interests, this experiment was performed to clarify concrete's mechanical property and workability using recycled aggregate as a coarse aggregate. Eleven cases of concrete specimens were produced by changing the rates of replacement of coarse recycled aggregate, replacement of fly ash, design strength, and moisture state of coarse aggregate. Compressive and tensile split strength tests were taken to study the mechanical properties of hardened concrete. To verify flowability of fresh concrete, a slump test and a flow curve test using ICAR Rheometer were performed. It was found that using recycled aggregate and fly ash leads good workability by testing slump and flow curve. The yield stress of fresh concrete decreased with increase of recycled aggregate substitution rate. Through the test, it was confirmed that there is inversely proportional relationship between the slump and yield stress roughly. Recycled aggregate concrete containing fly ash has considerably lower plasticity viscosity than not containing fly ash. Strength test results showed that recycled aggregate tended to decrease compressive and tensile strength of concrete, when recycled aggregate was used as a coarse aggregate. Using over 30% recycled aggregate caused significant decreases in compressive and tensile strength. Replacing 30% cement with fly ash was helpful to improve the long-term strength of concrete.
