This study was performed to investigate the Alkali-Silica Reaction(ASR) of crushed stones using chemical analysis, polarization microscope, XRD, chemical method(KS F 2545, ASTM C 289), mortar-bar method( KS F 2546, ASTM C 227) and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM ) and Energy Dispersive X-ray Analysis(EDXA) of reaction products by ASK in the mortar bars and to investigate the influence on alkali content and kind of added alkali to the ASR. Test results show that one kind of domestic crushed stone is estimated as deleterious by ASTM chemical method and mortar bar method, and reaction product is proved as alkali silicate gel by EDXA.

As the deposits of natural sands have slowly been depleted, it has resulted in an increase in manufactured fine aggregate (MFA). Standard specifications for fine aggregate for concrete contained in KS F 2558 permit a maximum of 7 percent finer than the No. 200 sieve (75${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$). Since the production process for MFA normally generates 10 to 20 percent of micro fines-which is defined as aggregates passing the No. 200 sieve (75${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$)-more than permitted by specifications, Excess fines must be removed by screening and/or washing operations. The amount of by-products will continue to grow as production increases with environmental discharge restrictions. This fundamental study focuses on experimental research for the adequacy of use of micro fines included in crushed aggregate using methylene blue test. Total of 63 types of sands from seven different rocks were tested. Based on the test results, the methylene blue test was turned out to be a good indicator of the quality of micro fines for concrete and a supplementary article and an amendment of the KS standard were recommended.

The Alkali Aggregate Reaction(AAR), reported first by T. E. Stanton in 1940, is a reaction between certain siliceous aggregate and hydroxyl ions present in the pore fluid of a concrete. The damage of concrete structures, deteriorated by AAR, have been reported since using the crushed stones caused by the exhaustion of natural aggregates. This study was performed to investigate the AAR of crushed stones using chemical analysis, polarization microscope, XRD, chemical method(KS F 2545, ASTM C 289), mortar bar method(KS F 2546, ASTM C 227) and Scanning Electron Microscope(SEM) and Energy Dispersive X-ray Analysis (EDXA) of reaction products by AAR in mortar bar.

Recycled aggregate concrete has lower strength and durability compared to concrete with natural aggregate. Therefore, metakaolin is used to improve the properties of recycled aggregate concrete. Main components of metakaolin are $SiO_2$ and $Al_2O_3$. and specific surface area is 9 times larger than that of ordinary portland cement. Quality of demolished-recycled aggregate(DRA) satisfies the type 1 of KS F 2573, but quality of source-recycled aggregate(SRA) does not satisfy with the type 2 of KS F 2573. When metakaolin was replaced with 20% of cement, compressive strength of concrete with SRA and DRA develops about 40~64% of control concrete. Water absorption ratio was reduced about 2% by replacing 20% metakaolin and it represents low compared to the natural aggregate concrete without metakaolin. In addition, the resistance to freezing and thawing, of concrete with DRA is indicated to remarkably enhanced due to the contribution of metakaolin. However, when metakaolin is replaced with 20% of cement, relative dynamic modulus of elasticity of concrete with SRA was below 60% at 210 freezing and thawing cycles.

As a manufacturing process of recycled aggregate improves the quality of recycled aggregate shall be sufficient enough to be used for structural concrete. This study characterized compressive strength and elastic modulus of concrete that used recycled coarse and fine aggregate. Before the strength tests, the fundamental characteristics of recycled aggregate were preliminarily analyzed and the recycled aggregate satisfied the class 1 requirements in KS F 2573. As the replacement ratio increased, the compressive strength and elastic modulus of recycled aggregate concrete decreased. When the coarse and fine aggregates were completely replaced with the recycled, the compressive strength and elastic modulus were decreased by 13% and 31%, respectively. Based on the test results, this study suggests equations for predicting the compressive strength and elastic modulus of the recycled aggregate concrete with respect to the replacement ratio. The values from the equations were in good agreement with the test data from this study and others.

This study is a fundamental study to utilize CGS from the IGCC as a fine aggregate for concrete. According to the study, the chemical composition of KS F 2527 was reviewed. The results showed that the KS F 2527 standard was generally satisfied, but the content of the sulfur trioxide(SO₃) exceeded the limit set by the molten slag. The possibility was found to be a fine metal based on chemicals other than sulfur trioxide(SO3).

This study is a fundamental consideration for using CGS from the IGCC as a fine aggregate for concrete. For the review, the physical properties and hazardous materials content of KS F 2527 were considered. The results showed that KS F 2527 standard was generally satisfied, making it possible to confirm the possibility that it is a fine metal considering its physical properties and hazardous materials content characteristics.

This study is to examine the influence of defective grain shape of coarse aggregate and lowered fineness modulus of fine aggregate on the characteristics of high flowing concrete. The flow ability and compact ability of high flowing concrete was examined using fine aggregate, varying its fineness modulus to 2.0, 2.5, 3.0, and 3.5, and coarse aggregate with before and after grain shape improvement. Also the influence of fineness modulus of fine aggregate and grain shape of coarse aggregate on dispersion distance of particles of aggregate was examined by relatively comparing the dispersion distance between particles of aggregate. According to the experimental result, minimum porosity when mixing fine aggregate and coarse aggregate was shown in order of fineness modulus of fine aggregate, 3.0, 2.5, 2.0, 3.5, regardless of the improvement of grain shape. So when the fineness modulus is bigger or smaller than KS Standard $2.3\~3.1$, the porosity increased. When the spherical rate of the grain shape of coarse aggregate unproved from 0.69, a disk shape to 0.78 sphere shape, the rate of fine aggregate, which represents minimum porosity, decreased $6\%$ from $47\%\;to\;41\%$. The 28 days compressive strength according to fineness modulus of fine aggregate increased about 3 ma as the fineness modulus increased from 2.0 to 2,5, and 3.0. However, the 28 days compressive strength decreased about 9 ma at 3.5 fineness modulus as compared with 3.0 fineness modulus. The improvement of grain shape in coarse aggregate and increase of fineness modulus in fine aggregate made the flow ability, compact ability, and V-rod flowing time improve. Also the fineness modulus of fine aggregate increased the paste volume ratio when a higher value was used within the scope of KS Standard $2.3\~3.1$.

Aggregate may limit the strength of concrete, and aggregate with undesirable properties cannot produces strong concrete. Also, the properties of aggregate greatly affect the durability and structural performance of concrete. Recently, it has increased the using of crushed aggregate for concrete due to the exhaustion of good natural aggregate. In case of Korea, in 2002, the using ration of crushed stone occupies about 97% of whole coarse aggregate, and ratio of crushed sand occupies about 18.3% of whole fine aggregate. This is a study to compare and analyze the properties of crushed aggregate for concrete to do mix proportion and improve the concrete quality. According to results, it was found that nearly all the properties of crushed aggregate satisfied with the value recommended by KS.
