This research embarked on a comprehensive examination of the engineering characteristics of lightweight concrete intended for implementation in rhamen-type modular building walls. The concrete was formulated utilizing bottom ash and coated EPS beads, in accordance with the Korea Construction Standards Center(KCS) 14 20 20 "Lightweight Aggregate Concrete". Our findings articulate that while EPS beads tend to diminish the compressive strength of the lightweight concrete, they concurrently contribute to a notable reduction in unit mass. The porous nature of the bottom ash endows the material with diminished thermal conductivity. Significantly, a mixture containing 50% EPS beads and 50% BA20 aggregates, replacing half of the coarse aggregates, was found to meet the standard specifications.

Recently, it tend to increase the high-rise and large-scale of buildings and the developtment of construction technology can to be applied reinforced concrete structures to high-rise buildings. However, when a high-rise buildings is constructed with reinforced concrete, it has a disadvantage that buildings weight increases. In order to resolve the weight of reinforced concrete structures, various types of lightweight aggregates become development and research. Although lightweight aggregates can be reduced the weight of concrete, the strength of ITZ(Interfacial Transition Zone) is lowered due to its less strength than natural aggregates. In this study, an experimental study was conducted to coat the surface of lightweight aggregates with GGBFS(ground granulated blast furnace slag) to improve the strength of cement matrix mixed with lightweight aggregates. Result of this experimental study shows that the compressive strnegth of the surface coating lightweight aggregates was higher than general lightweight aggregates. Also, it was considered that this is because the pore at the ITZ of the surface-coated lightweight aggregates mixed cement matrix are filled with GGBFS fine particle.

건물의 대형화 고층화로 고강도 콘크리트의 사용이 증대되면서 고강도 콘크리트의 화재 시 폭열 대책이 필요하다. 본 연구는 전국 화력발전소에서 매립되는 Bottom Ash와 EPS를 재활용하여 건축소재의 내화기준에 만족하고 자원순환 소재의 새로운 개발방향을 제시하고자 난연성이 가미된 경량콘크리트 패널을 개발하여 그 난연 성능 및 벽체로서의 성능을 실험하였다. 실험은 Bottom Ash를 활용한 코팅 경량골재를 2개 Type으로 개발하여 단위중량, Flow, 압축강도, 열전도율, 부착강도, 건조수축, 흡수율, 난연 성능을 평가하였다. 그 결과 대부분의 데이터가 KS기준에 맞게 나왔으며, 난연 성능 또한 1급으로 나왔다. 이로서 폐자재인 Bottom Ash와 EPS를 재활용하여 화재 시 난연성능이 확보됨은 물론 국가성장핵심 사업인 녹색성장에 걸맞은 새로운 경량콘크리트 패널을 개발할 수 있게 되었다.

In recent years, the construction industry has a tendency to increase of high-rise builidngs. High rise buildings can use limited space efficiently. But High rise buildings have problem that have extremely heavy weight. Various studies are being conducted to reduce the weight of buildings. Although lightweight aggregate is a meterial that can effectively reduce the weight of buildings, the strength of the aggregate itself is weak and the absorption rate is high, so the strength of the ITZ(Interfacial Transition Zone) area is weak. Therefore, it is essential to improve the interfacial area when using lightweight aggregates. In this study, an experiment was conducted to improve the adhesion between the aggregate and cement paste and to strengthen the interfacial area by coating the surface of the lighteight aggregate with Blast Furnace Slag. To confirm the improvement, compressive strength and EIS(Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy) measurements were perfromed. Using EIS, the change in electrical resistance of the cement hardened body was confirmed. As a result, it was confirmed that the lightweight aggregate coated on the surface showed highter compressive strength and electrical resistance than the non-coated lightweight aggregate, and that the coating material was filled in the interfacial area and inside the aggregate that helped to strengthen the compresssive strength and higher electrical resistance.

Ultra-high strength concrete becomes one of the main research areas because recently concrete structure is larger. The quality of aggregate (ultra-high strength and uniformity) as well as chemical admixture and mineral additives is a key factor for ultra-high strength concrete development. However, natural aggregate including crushed aggregate is inappropriate for ultra-high strength concrete because ultra-high strength quality cannot be maintained uniformly over whole natural aggregate lot. In this study ceramic aggregate was applied for ultra-high strength concrete in order to assure uniform quality of ultra-high strength aggregate. Ultra-high strength concrete was achieved by applying coated ultra-high strength ceramic aggregate to enhance the bonding strength between aggregate and cement paste. Also for actual application light weight ceramic aggregate(density 2.2 $g/cm^3$) with zero water absorption was tested.
