Various attempts are being made to reduce carbon emissions through recycling of industrial by-products in the construction materials industry to reduce carbon emissions, and cement substitutes such as blast furnace slag and fly ash are widely used. Although it is suggested that the use of industrial by-product aggregate is possible in 'Aggregate', the use case of industrial by-product aggregate is very rare in the actual field. In this study, as an industrial by-product, fine slag aggregate is used as fine aggregate among aggregates that can be used as aggregate for concrete, and coarse aggregate is used as a substitute for natural aggregate. WWe tried to suggest various ways to expand the use of industrial by-product aggregates.

In this study, the effects of the fineness modulus of reactive aggregate on ASR expansion and ASR products have been investigated. The reactive aggregate used was metamorphic aggregate originated from Korea. ASR tests were conducted according to accelerated mortar bar test. The morphology and chemical composition of products formed in mortar bars, 5 years after the mortar bar test had been performed, were studied by scanning electron microscopy equipped with energy dispersive spectroscopy. Test results indicated that ASR expansion of mortar bars decrease in linear proportion to the fineness modulus of reactive aggregate. SEM images indicated that mortar bars showed reactive products formed in cement paste, within air voids and within cracks through particles except for the mortar bar with the fineness modulus of 3.25. The EDS analysis of the reactive products showed presence of silica, calcium and sodium, typical of ASR product composition.

This study is performed to examine the physical and mechanical properties of concrete using recycled aggregate and industrial by-products. The test results show that the unit weight, compressive and flexural strength, ultrasonic pulse velocity and dynamic modulus of elasticity are decreased with increasing the content of recycled aggregate. But, the absorption ratio is increased with increasing the content of recycled aggregate. The unit weight is 2,237∼2,307 kg/$\textrm{m}^3$, the absorption ratio is 2.96∼4.12%, the compressive strength is 415∼532 kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$, the flexural strength is 75∼96 kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$, the ultrasonic pulse velocity is 4,350∼4,949 m/s and the dynamic modulus of elasticity is $390\times10^3\;∼\;465\times10^3$ kg f/$\textrm{cm}^2$, respectively These recycled aggregate concrete can be used for high strength concrete.

The results of an experiment on the water purification of the porous concrete and its influence on the compressive strength are reported in this paper. Two different sizes of coarse aggregate of 5-10, and 10-20mm, and three absolute volume ratios of paste to aggregate of 30, 40 and 50 percent for a given size of aggregate were used. For the compressive strength, the concrete with the aggregate size of 5-10mm showed much higher strength than that with the aggregate size of 10-20mm. But, the compressive strength is higher when the ratio of paste to aggregate is smaller. In the water purification experiment, the amount of attached an organism on the porous concrete surface indirectly is examined by measuring the consumption of the Dissolved Oxygen (DO). The ability of the water purification is evaluated by the removal amount of the Total Phosphorus(T-P) and Total Nitrogen(T-N). The ability of the removal of the T-N and T-P in the test water is superior to a porous concrete with a smaller size of aggregate and a higher void content. These results are owing to a large specific surface area of the specimen. As a result, porous concrete using by-products has sufficient performance of water purification.

This is the study for recycling waste foundry sand. Authors studied about main subject of grading of aggregate and three experimental items such as physical properties of waste foundry sand, optimum grading for concrete products of low water ratio, and quality variations of concrete products according to substitution proportion of fine aggregate as waste foundry sand. We were convinced of following results by experimental study. The first was that waste foundry sand was not fit as the aggregate for concrete because of bad qualities such as grading, unit weight, solid volume and passing 0.08 mm seive, so it is proper to composition using with other fine aggregetes. The second was that optimum grading is fineness modulus of 2.77 to 3.28 And the last is that optimum condition about substitution proportion as waste foundry sand is 10% fine aggregate.

Recently, as interest in environmental issues increases, minimizing carbon dioxide generated during cement manufacturing is a problem to be solved. In order to solve such a problem, it is required to use an industrial by-product of recycled aggregate, blast furnace slag, and circulating fluidized bed boiler fly ash to replace it on the basis of geopolymer(=cementless). This study examines the characteristics of eco-friendly artificial stone according to the mixing ratio of geopolymer-based recycled aggregate. As a result of the experiment, when the addition rate of the alkali stimulant was 15% and the mixing ratio of the circulating aggregate was 70%, the flexural strength and compressive strength were the highest. Density and water absorption decreased as density of circulating aggregates increased and water absorption increased. However, when the mixing ratio of the circulating aggregate exceeded 70%, the flexural strength and compressive strength decreased. Therefore, in order to obtain strengths meeting the KS standards, the mixing ratio of recycled aggregate was set to 70%, and artificial stone was manufactured using industrial by-products.

Because the WFS(Waste Foundry Sand), by-product of a casting factory, is generally a smaller particle than a fine aggregate, it has a bad influence on quality of concrete. Especially, the grading of aggregate is a very important factor in the case of concrete-based products having low water cement ratio manufactured by vibration and pressing method. Therefore, it is necessary to use WFS with the suitable grading of aggregate that it don't has a bad Influence on the quality of concrete-based products. This study investigated the suitable using proportion of WFS by means of the composition method of aggregate suggested by Driscoll. The results showed that it was desirable to use 10% of WFS since higher strength was developed with that amount.

Recently, recycling of the industrial by-products has been an important issue of the Yeosu bay, where large industrial complex is located. Major industrial by-products which are produced from Yeosu industrial complex area are phosphogypsum and flyash, which are about 82% and 10% of the 1.6 million tons industrial by-products. Moreover since the Yeosu industrial complex is located at seaside, phosphogypsum has been pointed as cause of serious environmental contaminant from the regional society. Therefore recycling study can't be delayed anymore. In this paper, artificial aggregate was manufactured by non-sintering process from industrial byproducts - e.g., phosphogypsum and slag - as a geotechnical drainage material. To show the feasibility of the artificial aggregate as a geotechnical drainage material, geotechnical experiments including particle size analysis, permeability test, and large scale direct shear test were carried out. Test results show that the permeability of the artificial aggregates range from $6.94{\times}10^{-1}cm/sec$ to $8.86{\times}10^{-1}cm/sec$, which is much larger value than those are required for the drainage material from the construction specification in Korea, and the friction angle of the artificial aggregate is as large as that of sand in water immersion conditions. From the test results, it was concluded that artificial aggregate made from industrial by-products can be used successfully as a geotechnical drainage material.

The main objective of this research was to evaluate the effects of process variables which were forming ability, flow displacement, effective stress, effective strain, fluid vector and products defects on manufactured artificial lightweight aggregate made of both incinerated sewage sludge ash and clay by means of the numerical analysis of a rigid-plastic finite element method. CATIA (3D CAD program) was used for an extrusion metal mold design that was widely used in designing aircraft, automobile and metallic molds. A metal forming analysis program (ATES Co.) had a function of a rigid-plastic finite element method was used to analyze the program. The result of extrusion forming analysis indicated clearly that a shape retention of the manufactured artificial light-weight aggregate could be maintained by increasing the extrusion ratio (increasing compressive strength inside of extrusion die) and decreasing the die angle. The stress concentration of metal mold was increased by increasing an extrusion ratio, and it was higher in a junction of punch and materials, friction parts between a bottom of the punch and inside of a container, a place of die angle and a place of die of metal mold. Therefore, a heat treatment as well as a rounding treatment for stress distribution in the higher stress concentration regions were necessary to extend a lifetime of the metallic mold. A deformity of the products could have made from several factors which were a surface crack, a lack of the shape retention and a crack of inside of the products. Specially, the surface crack in the products was the most notably affected by the extrusion ratio.

In this study, the stability and EMP shielding performance of metal-based industrial by-products aggregates with excellent conductivity and easy procurement to be used as concrete aggregates for EMP shielding are evaluated. The industrial by-products are electronic-arc-furnace oxidizing slag, copper smelting slag, and ferro-moldibdenum. The composition analysis of aggregates and aggregate stability are evaluated. As a result of the experiment, ferro-moldibdenum is shown to have l ow stability as an aggregate due to its high Free-CaO. The remaining aggregates are evaluated to be safe to use as aggregates for concrete. In addition, industrial by-products aggreagate-specimens excluding ferro-moldibdenum are shown higher compressive strength than the plain specimen. The recycle aggregates, electronic-arc-furnace oxidizing slag and copper smelting slag, are shown excellent EMP shielding performance, the EMP shielding performance is expected to increase if the average particle diameter of the aggregate is small or evenly distributed.
