  • Admixture materials are used in mixing concrete or mortar to improve quality and performance of the concrete. This study examines the potential use of talc as a substitute for cement, the benefits of recycling waste resources for economical efficiency and quality improvement of concrete. The test was carried out by replacing the plain mix with fine grains of talc at the rate of 10%, 20%, and 30%. Talc was divided into three groups depending on the degree of pulverizing. For wet concrete, porosity, slump, bleeding per unit, and setting time by penetration resistance were measured; similarly, for dry concrete, strength and watertight Property were tested. Test results showed that the amount of bleeding and setting time could be shortened, but the strength and watertight proofing severely deteriorated. However, at the replacement rate of 10%, talc showed equal performance with the plain at all degrees of pulverization, which suggests its potential use as admixture material.

  • This is an experimental study for recycling coal ash left over from coal use as a potential fine aggregate in concrete. Coal ash is generally divided into either fly ash or bottom ash. Fly ash has been utilized as a substitution material for cement in concrete mixes. On the other hand, bottom ash has the problem of low recycling rates, and thus it has been primarily reclaimed. This study partially substituted fine concrete aggregates with bottom ash to increase its application rate and therefore its recycling rate; its suitability for this purpose was confirmed. The concrete's workability dropped noticeably with increasing bottom ash content when a fixed water-cement ratio of concrete mix was used. Thus, concrete mixes with higher ratio levels are required. To address this problem, concrete was mixed using a polycarboxylate high-range water reducing agent. The fluidity and air entrainment immediately after mixing the concrete and 1 h after mixing were measured, thereby replicating the time concrete is placed in the field when produced either in a ready-mixed concrete or in a batch plant. As a result of this research, the workability and air entrainment were maintained 1 h after mixing for a concrete mixture with approximately 30% of its fine concrete aggregates substituted with the bottom ash. A slight drop in compression strength was seen; however, this confirmed that potential of using bottom ash as a fine aggregate in concrete.

An Experimental Study on the Properties of Lightweight Foamed Concrete According to the Replacement Ratio and Particle Size of Waste Concrete Powder (폐콘크리트 미분말 대체율 변화와 입도 변화에 따른 경량기포콘크리트의 특성에 관한 실험적 연구)

  • The recycling of waste concrete is increasing for the environment protection and the shortage of aggregate according to the large scale construction project in Korea. The more manufacturing high quality recycled aggregate is produced, the more waste concrete powder generated from the manufacture process of recycled aggregate, and the consideration about the recycling of waste concrete powder is need. Waste concrete powder was used for the partial replacement of silica powder, which is a main raw material for the manufacture of autoclave foamed concrete. According to the results of research, the slurry density, flow, compressive strength mainly depend on the replacement ratio of particle size and waste concrete powder. At the SEM analysis, the more high-waste concrete powder was the less there are generated tobermorite. But we conclude that it is possible to replace WCP as silica source in the manufacture of the lightweight foamed concrete.

  • As growing of industrialization and increasing of population. the quantities of waste are rapidly growing in the earth. It cause some problems such as the waste of natural resources and environmental pollution. In this context, recycling waste glass as a material of concrete has a great advantage environmentally and economically. On that score, other contries have start recycling waste glass widely and accoumulatig the technology of manufacturing equipment and construction. However, few studies have been done in this country. Therefore, this study was conducted freeze-thaw resistance test and neutralization reaction test to analyze the durability properties of steel fiber reinforced concrete containing waste glass as fine aggregate and containing industrial by-products(Fly ash).

  • The most of waste foundry sands(WFS) have been discarded. It is very urgent for our country to make a study on recycling of WFS. The one of recycling method of WFS is using them as fine aggregate for concrete. This study provided the optimum amount of WFS and flyash when WFS and flyash were used together in concrete. The concrete made with 60% WFS fine aggregate replacement showed higher compressive strength, splitting tensile strength and modulus of elasticity than normal concrete. In the case that the flyash and WFS are replaced together, the compressive strength and splitting tensile strength were improved at flyash replacement ratio $10%{\sim}20%$ and WFS replacement ratio $40%{\sim}60%$. The increase of WFS and flyash replacement led lower air content. While the increase of WFS replacement led lower slump, the increase of flyash replacement led higher slump.

  • The stone powder sludges, which are occurred in aggregate production company, have classified the specified waste, so taking place the environment pollution and the disposal cost. In this causes, the stone powder sludge is required the development of recycling technique. This study concerned with the using possibility of stone powder sludge on light weight concrete. We acquired the fundamental date on recycling technique of stone sludges, by hydro-thermal reaction. The results shows that it is possible to develop the light weight concrete, having various range of properties according to the content of foam.
