화력발전소에서 발생하는 저회와 준설공사 시 발생하는 준설토를 효과적으로 자원화하기 위하여 인공경량골재를 만들어 경량콘크리트에 적용 가능한지 물리 화학적 분석을 진행하였다. 서울에서 20 km 서쪽에 위치해 있는 영흥도에서 발생된 저회와 준설토를 이용하여 인공경량골재를 제조하였으며, 모든 원료는 혼합 전 분쇄하여 사용되었다. 제조된 골재는 KS에 의거하여 입도시험, 표건밀도와 흡수율 시험, 안정성, 알칼리 잠재반응, 중금속 용출 시험을 진행하였다. 입도분석에서 굵은 골재는 적정 조립율 값을 나타내었고, 잔골재는 조립율의 범위를 벗어났다. 경량화 될수록 흡수율이 증가하는 사실을 알 수 있었다. 안정성 및 중금속 용출 시험 결과 무해한 것으로 판단되었으나, 알칼리 잠재 반응성 확인 결과 몇몇 조성을 제외하고 무해한 골재로 판정되었다.

산업현장에서 발생되는 다양한 종류의 폐기물을 이용하여 에코골재를 제조하였다. 에코골재는 폐기물을 분쇄하고 조립성형 후, 로타리 킬른에서 $1125^{\circ}C$/15 min의 조건으로 소성하여 제조되었다. 본 연구진에 의해 제조된 에코골재 K73(Coal bottom ash 70 wt%: Dredged soil 30 wt%)과 K631(Clay 60 wt%: Stone sludge 30 wt%: Spent bleaching clay 10 wt%)을 이용하여 경량 콘크리트 흡음재를 제조하였으며, 비교를 위해 독일에서 수입된 DL(독일산 'L'사 인공경량골재)을 이용한 흡음재 역시 같은 조건으로 제조하였다. 골재의 종류, 물-시멘트비(W/C=20, 25, 30%) 그리고 설계 공극률(20, 25, 30%)의 변화에 따른 흡음특성변화를 관찰하였다. 실험결과, 경량 콘크리트 흡음재의 실제 공극률은 설계 공극률보다 $5{\sim}10%$ 정도 높게 나타났다. 임피던스관을 이용한 흡음재의 흡음계수 측정 결과, K631골재를 이용한 경량 콘크리트 흡음재(W/C=20%, V=25%)가 1000, 3150 Hz에서 각각 0.88의 흡음계수를 나타내었다.

Dredged silt from reservoirs in southern Taiwan was sintered to make lightweight aggregates (LWA), which were then used to produce high-performance lightweight aggregate concrete (HPLWC). The HPLWC was manufactured using different amounts of mixing water (140, 150, and 160 $kg/m^3$) and LWA of different particle densities (700, 1100, and 1500 $kg/m^3$) at different W/b ratios (0.28, 0.32, and 0.4). Results show that the lightweight aggregates of dredged silt taken in southern Taiwan perform better than the general lightweight aggregates. In addition, the HPLWC possessed high workability with a slump of 230-270 mm, and a slump flow of 450-610 mm, high compressive strength of over 40 MPa after 28 days of curing, good strength efficiency of cement exceeding $0.1MPa/kg/m^3$, low thermal conductivity of 0.4-0.8 $kcal/mh^{\circ}C$, shrinkage of less than $4.8{\times}10^{-4}$, and high electrical resistivity of above 40 $k{\Omega}-cm$. The above findings prove that HPLWC made from dredged silt can help enhance durability of concrete and provide and an ecological alternative use of dredged silt.

In comparison with ordinary or heavy-weight concrete, light-weight air void concrete has the good aspects in optimizing super tall structure systems for the process of design considering wind load and seismic load by lightening total dead load of buildings and reducing natural resources used. Light-weight air void concrete has excellent properties of heat and sound insulating due to its high amount porosity of air voids. So, it has been used as partition walls and the floor of Ondol which is the traditional Korean floor heating system. Under the condition of which the supply of light-weight aggregates are limited, the development of light-weight concrete using air voids is highly required in the aspects of reduced manufacturing prices and mass production. In this study, we investigated the physical properties and thermal behaviors of specimens that applied different mixing ratios of foaming agent to evaluate the possibility of use in the structural elements. We proposed the estimating equation for compressive strength of each mix having different ratio of foaming agent. We also confirmed that the density of cement matrix is decreased as the mixing amount of foaming agent increase up to 0.6% of foaming agent mixing ratio which was observed by SEM. Based on porosity and compressive strength of control mortar without foaming agent, we built the estimating equations of compressive strength for mortars with foaming agent. The upper limit of use in foaming agent is about 0.6% of the binder amount. Each air void is independent, and size of voids range from 50 to $100{\mu}m$.

Corrosion of steel reinforcement is the most important mode of concrete structures damages. It strongly depends on the composition and physicochemical properties of the cementitious medium. The use of waste materials as lightweight aggregates in concrete is environmentally recommended in polluted environments such as marine and/or industrial atmospheres in order to reduce its porosity and ensure the requested protection of reinforcing steel. The present study investigated the effect of waste cork addition on corrosion resistance of steel rebar in mortar specimen prepared in the laboratory. The main objective of this study was to improve the corrosion resistance of reinforcing steel. Another objective of this study was to valorize this ecological product and preserve the environment. Results obtained from various electrochemical tests indicated that the presence of a fine cork powder substantially improved the corrosion resistance of steel in the mortar contaminated by chloride ions. This improvement was reflected by a notable decrease in corrosion current density and a shift of corrosion potential of the steel towards more noble values. Moreover, the presence of a fine cork powder in the mortar had no adverse effect on its mechanical properties.

Although the quantity of dredged soils has increased owing to recent new harbor construction, sea course management, polluted sediment dredging, and four-river project, the reuse or recycling of those dredged soils has not done properly in Korea. To develop measures to utilize them in various ways for reuse or recycling, the biophysicochemical properties of dredged soils and sediment were assessed in this study. Samples were classified according to their sources-river and sea-by location, and as dredged soil and sediment depending on storage time. The results showed that dredged materials from the sea have high clay content and can be used for making bricks, tiles, and lightweight backfill materials, while dredged materials from the river have high sand content and can be used in sand aggregates. Separation procedures, depending on the intended application, should be carried out because all dredged materials are poorly sorted. All dredged soils and sediments have high salinity, and hence, salts should be removed before use for cultivation. Since dredged materials from the sea have adequate concentrations of nutrients, except phosphate, they can be used for creating and restoring coastal habitats without carrying out any additional removal processes. The high overall microbial activities in dredged materials from the river suggested that active degradation of organic matter, circulation of nutrients, and provision of nutrients may occur if these dredged materials are used for cultivation purpose.
