To select a most desired mix proportion that meets required performances according to the quality of recycled aggregate, a large number of experimental works must be carried out. This paper proposed a new design method for the mix proportion of recycled aggregate concrete to reduce the number of trial mixes. Genetic algorithm is adapted for the method, which has been an optimization technique to solve the multi-criteria problem through the simulated biological evolutionary process. Fitness functions for the required properties of concrete such as slump, density, strength, elastic modulus, carbonation resistance, price and carbon dioxide emission were developed based on statistical analysis on conventional data or adapted from various early studies. Then these fitness functions were applied in the genetic algorithm. As a result, several optimum mix proportions for recycled aggregate concrete that meets required performances were obtained.

Various desired performances of concrete cannot be always obtained by current conventional mix proportion methods for recycled aggregate concrete (RAC). This paper suggests a new design method of mix proportion for RAC to reduce the number of trial mixes using genetic algorithm (GA) which has been an optimization technique to solve the multi-object problem. In mix design method by GA, several fitness functions for the required properties of concrete, i.e., slump, strength, price, and carbonation speed coefficient were considered based on conventional data or fitness function. As a result, various optimum mix proportions for RAC that meet required performances were obtained and the risk evaluation was also conducted for selected mixtures.

Grading of aggregate influences significantly almost all of the concrete performances. The purpose of this paper is to propose practicable equations that express the optimized total aggregate gradation, by weight or by number of particles in a concrete mix. The principle is based on the fractal feature of the grading of combined aggregate in a solid skeleton of concrete. Therefore, equations are derived based on the so-called fractal dimension of the grain size distribution of aggregates. Obtained model was then applied in such a way a correlation between some properties of the dry concrete mix and the fractal dimension of the aggregate gradation has been built. This demonstrates that the parameter fractal dimension is an efficacious tool to establish a unified model to study the solid phase of concrete in order to design aggregate gradation to meet certain requirements or even to predict some characteristics of the dry concrete mixture.

This research investigates experimentally an effect on the properties of the combined high flowing concrete by mix design factors. The purpose of this study is to determine the optimum mix proportion of the combined high flowing concrete having good flowability, viscosity, no-segregation and design strength(40.0MPa). For this purpose, trial mixings used belite cement+lime stone powder(LSP) are tested by mix design factors including water-cement ratio($47.9\~54.0\%$), fine aggregate volume ratio($41\~45\%$) and coarse aggregate volume ratio($41\~45\%$). As test results of this study, the optimum mix proportion for the combined high flowing concrete is as followings. Water-cement ratio $51.0\%$, fine aggregate volume ratio $43{\pm}1\%$ and coarse aggregate volume ratio $0.30{\pm}0.05m^3/m^3$ and replacement ratio of LSP $42.7\%$.

The Purpose of this study is to recycle the waste concrete, which is generated in huge quantities, from construction works. in order to achieve this goal, it is important to determine the compressive strength, workability, slump, and ultrasonic velocity of recycled aggregate concrete. Thus, several experiment parameters are considered, such as water-cement ratios, sand percentage, and fine aggregate composition ratios, in order to apply the recycled aggregate concrete to pre-cast artificial fishing reefs. From the results, it has been shown that the proper mix designs for reef concrete are W/C=45%, S/a=50%, SR50:SN50 in recycled sand and natural sand mix combination case, W/C=45%, S/a=50%, SC50:SN50 in crushed sand and natural sand mix combination case, W/C=45%, S/a=50%, SR50:SC50 in recycled sand and crushd sand mix combination case. Also, this study shows that the shape and surface roughness of fine aggregate particles have an effect on the strength, slump, ultrasonic velocity of tested concrete, and the compressive strength ratios of 7days' and 90days' curing ages of recycled aggregate concrete are about 70% and 110% of 28days' curing age.

PURPOSES : This paper presents a mix design method for using steel slag as an aggregate for asphalt mixtures. METHODS : Steel slag has a different density and absorption rate than natural aggregates. The asphalt content was calculated according to the steel slag characteristics, and the formula for aggregate-gradation correction was presented. RESULTS : The asphalt mix was designed using the proposed equations. Using the proposed mix design method, it was possible to design the asphalt mixture according to the target-usage amount of the recycled aggregate. CONCLUSIONS : The suggested method can be used for asphalt mix design using aggregates with different densities and absorption rates. It is expected to contribute to quality improvement by ensuring accurate calculation of mixing ratios for steel slag asphalt mixtures.

The purpose of this study is investigating characteristics of the concrete containing Fly-ash according to different 4 mix design, that is, the first mix design is partial replace Fly-ash of cement, second is partial replace Fly-ash of cement and fine aggregate, third is partial replace Fly-ash of fine aggregate, fourth partial replacement of fine and coarse aggregate. For this purpose, selected test variables were water-binder ratio with two levels of 45%, 50%, and Fly-ash contents with four levels 0%, 10%, 20%, 30%, As the result of this study are as follow. 1) The result of mix design of a partial replacement of cement, the slump-flow value was appeared a promotive effect of viscosity. But in case of the over with Fly-ash 10% and the other mix design was not changed slump value. 2) The unit weight of the mixing rate with Fly-ash 0% was $1.875{\sim}1.884t/m^3$, the other mix design 10% over with Fly-ash was $1.846{\sim}1.615t/m^3$, the difference was appeared less about 15% than that. 3) In design, partial replace Fly-ash of fine aggregate, this compressive strength was appeared that the concrete age after 7 days was higher than in partial replacement of cement, therefore, the default of a concrete with Fly-ash, that is the earlier compressive strength was to lessen, was improved. 4) The thermal conductivity of the all mix design was $0.447{\sim}1.144kcal/mh^{\circ}C$, this value was as good as a lightweight aggregate concrete.

This study aims to suggest a simple and convenient design for a mix proportion method for high performance concrete by determining the optimum fine aggregate ratio and minimum binder content based on the maximum density theory. The mix design method introduced in this study adopted the optimum fine aggregate ratio with a minimum void and binder content higher than the minimum binder content level. The research results reveal that the method helps to reduce trial and error in the mixing process and is a convenient way of producing high performance concrete with self filler ability. In an experiment based on the mix proportion method, when aggregate with the fine aggregation ratio of 41$\%$ was used, the minimum binder content of high performance concrete was 470kg/$m^{3}$ and maximum aggregate capacity was $0.657m^{3}/m^{3}$. In addition, in mixing high performance concrete, the optimal slump flow to meet filler ability was 65$\pm$5cm, V load flow speed ranged from 0.5 to 1.5.

최근 콘크리트의 품질과 구조물의 신뢰성을 향상시키기 위해서 고성능콘크리트의 현장 적용이 늘고 있다. 이러한 고성능콘크리트의 배합 설계 방법으로는 모르타르-굵은골재 2상계 배합 이론과 페이스트-골재 2상계 배합 이론이 있다. 이 중 모르타르-굵은골재 2상계 배합이론은 모르타르의 레올로지 특성을 부여함에 있어 반복적인 실험을 통해서 그 값을 결정해야 하는 문제점을 가지고 있다. 페이스트-골재 2상계 배합 이론은 최적 잔골재율과 단위결합재량과의 관계 및 콘크리트의 충전성을 확보할 수 있는 한계 골재 용적비 등이 고려되어 있지 않아 고성능콘크리트에의 적용 예가 없는 실정이다. 또한 이들 고성능콘크리트의 배합 설계 이론은 일반콘크리트와는 달리 유동성 및 충전성에 중점을 두고 있어 배합 설계에서 강도 특성을 고려하지 않고 있으며, 사용 재료의 단위량은 일반콘크리트와 같이 시행착오법으로 결정하고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 고성능콘크리트의 배합 설계에 최대 밀도 이론을 도입하여 사용 골재의 공극이 최소가 되는 최적 잔골재율 산정으로 배합 설계 시 시행착오를 줄이고, 강도를 고려한 최소 단위 결합재량의 결정으로 강도와 유동성을 동시에 만족할 수 있는 합리적이며 간편한 고성능콘크리트의 배합 설계법을 제안하고자 하였다. 연구 결과 본 연구에서 제안된 배합 설계법은 최소 공극을 갖는 최적 잔골재율 사용과 최소 단위 결합재량 이상의 결합재를 사용함으로써 시행착오를 줄일 수 있어 자기충전성을 갖는 고성능콘크리트를 간편하게 제조할 수 있다.
