Building on/with expansive soils with no treatment brings complications. Compacted expansive soils specifically fall short in satisfying the minimum requirements for transport embankment infrastructures, requiring the adoption of hauled virgin mineral aggregates or a sustainable alternative. Use of hauled aggregates comes at a high carbon and economical cost. On average, every 9m high embankment built with quarried/hauled soils cost $12600MJ.m^{-2}$ Embodied Energy (EE). A prospect of using mixed cutting-arising expansive soils with industrial/domestic wastes can reduce the carbon cost and ease the pressure on landfills. The widespread use of recycled materials has been extensively limited due to concerns over their long-term performance, generally low shear strength and stiffness. In this contribution, hydromechanical properties of a waste tyre sand-sized rubber (a mixture of polybutadiene, polyisoprene, elastomers, and styrene-butadiene) and expansive silt is studied, allowing the short- and long-term behaviour of optimum compacted composites to be better established. The inclusion of tyre shred substantially decreased the swelling potential/pressure and modestly lowered the compression index. Silt-Tyre powder replacement lowered the bulk density, allowing construction of lighter reinforced earth structures. The shear strength and stiffness decreased on addition of tyre powder, yet the contribution of matric suction to the shear strength remained constant for tyre shred contents up to 20%. Reinforced soils adopted a ductile post-peak plastic behaviour with enhanced failure strain, offering the opportunity to build more flexible subgrades as recommended for expansive soils. Residual water content and tyre shred content are directly correlated; tyre-reinforced silt showed a greater capacity of water storage (than natural silts) and hence a sustainable solution to waterlogging and surficial flooding particularly in urban settings. Crushed fine tyre shred mixed with expansive silts/sands at 15 to 20 wt% appear to offer the maximum reduction in swelling-shrinking properties at minimum cracking, strength loss and enhanced compressibility expenses.

Upgrading of pyrolysis wax oil using HZSM-5 catalyst has been conducted in a continuous fixed bed reactor at $450^{\circ}C$, 1hour, LHSV 3.5/h. The catalytic degradation was studied with a function of catalyst amount and reaction temperature. The raw pyrolysis wax oil shows relatively high boiling point distribution ranging from around $300^{\circ}C$ to $550^{\circ}C$, which has considerably higher boiling point distribution than that of commercial diesel. The catalytic degradation using HZSM-5 catalyst shows the high conversion of pyrolysis wax oil to light hydrocarbons. The liquid product obtained shows high gasoline range fraction as around 90% fraction and considerably high aromatic fraction in liquid product. Here, the experimental variable such as catalyst amount and reaction temperature was influenced on the product distribution.

본 연구는 폐플라스틱 중 저급의 복합재질 필름류 포장재를 콘크리트 원재료로 활용하기 위한 기초 연구로, LLDPE 및 HDPE의 2종의 플라스틱으로 제작된 잔골재를 사용하여 혼입률을 0, 25, 50, 75, 100%로 증가시키면서 플라스틱 잔골재의 종류 및 혼입률이 모르타르에 미치는 영향에 대하여 실험적으로 평가하였다. LLDPE 잔골재 및 HDPE 잔골재 혼입 모르타르는 유동성 및 재료분리저항성, 밀도 및 흡수율, 재령별 압축강도 및 휨강도에서 유사한 경향을 나타내었다. 플라스틱 잔골재를 혼입하지 않은 모르타르 대비 플라스틱 잔골재 혼입 모르타르의 유동성은 혼입률 50% 까지는 증가하다가 혼입률 75% 이상에서는 감소하였으며, 플라스틱 잔골재의 혼입에 따라 모르타르의 재료분리저항성은 급격하게 증가하였다. 한편, 플라스틱 잔골재의 낮은 밀도로 플라스틱 잔골재 혼입에 따라 모르타르의 밀도는 감소하였으며, 플라스틱 잔골재와 시멘트 사이의 낮은 부착력으로 인하여, 플라스틱 잔골재 혼입에 따라 재령별 압축강도는 플라스틱 잔골재 혼입률에 비례하여 감소하였으나. 재령별 휨강도는 플라스틱 잔골재 혼입률 50% 이상에서 일정 수준을 유지하며 감소하는 것으로 나타났다.

Upgrading of pyrolysis wax oil has been conducted in a continuous fixed bed reactor at $450^{\circ}C$, 1hour, LHSV 3.5/h. The catalytic degradation using HZSM-5 catalyst are compared with the thermal degradation and also was studied with a function of experimental variables. The raw pyrolysis wax oil shows relatively high boiling point distribution ranging from around $300^{\circ}C$ to $550^{\circ}C$, which has considerably higher boiling point distribution than that of commercial diesel. The product characteristic from thermal degradation shows a similar trend with that of raw pyrolysis wax oil. This means the thermal degradation of pyrolysis wax oil at high degradation temperature is not sufficiently occurred. On the other hand, the catalytic degradation using HZSM-5 catalyst relative to the thermal degradation shows the high conversion of pyrolysis wax oil to light hydrocarbons. This liquid product shows high gasoline range fraction as around 90% fraction and considerably high aromatic fraction in liquid product. Also, in the catalytic degradation the experimental variable such as catalyst amount and reaction temperature was studied.

본 연구는 생활폐기물을 호기성분해 개념에서 유기물을 분해 안정화시킬 때 적정한 환경인자들을 도출, 검토하기 위해서 가정에서 배출되는 일반생활폐기물을 각각의 비율에 따라 섞은 후 함수율을 55%, 60%로 조절하여 분해 안정화정도를 평가하였다. VS량의 변화는 6번 반응기를 제외하고는 모든 반응기에서 초기에 투입된 음식물량이 모두 분해가 된 것으로 판단되었고, 1, 2, 3, 4번 반응기는 비슷한 분해정도를 보여 비닐/플라스틱의 첨가가 통기개량제로서의 역할을 한 것으로 사료되었다. 반응기별 온도는 모든 반응기의 최고 온도가 약 $57{\sim}59^{\circ}C$정도로 측정되었고, VS량의 변화와 비슷하게 1, 2, 3, 4번 반응기가 최고온도에서 지속기간이 5, 6번 반응기보다는 약 2~4일정도 더 지속되어 분해반응이 더 잘 일어난 것으로 판단되었으며, $CO_2$ 발생량도 온도 변화와 비슷한 경향을 나타내고 있다. 함수율 변화는 미생물의 산화열로 증발된 수분의 원활한 배출이 이루어지지 않은 관계로 수분 감소율은 모든 반응기에서 낮게 측정되었다. pH는 음식물쓰레기로 인하여 초기에는 약산성이었으나, 반응이 진행됨에 따라 pH가 상승하여 일반적인 경향과 비슷하게 측정되었다. 전기전도도와 C/N비는 전체적으로 소폭증가하는 경향을 보였다. 침하량과 무게감소율도 위의 다른 인자들과 비슷한 경향을 보였다. 즉, 1, 3번 반응기와 2, 4번 반응기가 더 큰 침하율과 무게감소율을 보였다.

To determine the use of waste materials as root zone soil mixtures for turfgrass culture, the effects of paper mill sludge and briquet ash on physical and chemical properties of soil and growth of turfgrasses were examined. Three turfgrass species of zoysiagrass(Zoysia japonicaSteud.). kentycky bluegrass(Poa pratensis L. 'Ram I') and creeping bentgrass(Agrostis panistris Huds 'Persucross') were cultured in 32cm diameter plastic pots containing various soil mixtures. The basic ingredients used for mixtures included sand(SD), field soil(SL), paper mill sludge(PS), sphagnum peat moss(PM) and briquet ash(BA). Seven combinations using these ingreients were mixed in different percentage by volume as follows: SD+SL+PM(80:10.10), SH+SL+PS(80:10:10), SD-PM(80:20), SD+PS (80:20), SD+BA(80:20), SD+BA+PM(60:20:20) and SD+BA+PS(60:20:20). 1. Paper mill sludge showed pH of 6.6, more than 30% of organic matter content, and higher concentrations of total N, P, k, Ca, Mg and CEC. Bulk density, fild moisture capacity and electrical conductivity of soil mixtures were increased by the comimation of 10~20% PS by volume. 2. Briquet ash showed pH of 8.0, and higher levels of P, k, Ca and Mg than those of field soiks. Bulk density, field moisture capacity and hardenss of soil mixtures were increased but vertical water flow rate and electrical conductivity were decreased by the combination of 20% BA by volume. 3. Phytotoxic effects of PS and BA on growth of turfgrasses were not found. Shoot growth of all three species was higher in soil combination of SD+BA+PS than that of SD+SL+PM added with fertilizer. However, root growth was better in soil mixtures combined with PM. Soil mixtureomposed of 60% SD, 20% BA and 20% PS by volume was most effective on growth of all three species. 4. Paper mill sludge resulted in higher N level in the leaf tissue. The contents of heavy metals such as Cd and Ph did not vary significantly among soil mixtures and species. However, the Mn level was 2~3 times higher in plants growh in mixtures containing PM compared with others, and especially it was higher in creeping bentgrass than other species.

The main objective of this study is to evaluate and compare the efficiency of ordinary Portland cement (OPC) in enhancing the unconfined compressive strength of soft soil alone and soft soil mixed with recycled tiles. The recycled tiles have been used to treat soft soil in a previous research by Al-Bared et al. (2019) and the results showed significant improvement, but the improved strength value was for samples treated with low cement content (2%). Hence, OPC is added alone in this research in various proportions and together with the optimum value of recycled tiles in order to investigate the improvement in the strength. The results of the compaction tests of the soft soil treated with recycled tiles and 2, 4, and 6% OPC revealed an increment in the maximum dry density and a decrement in the optimum moisture content. The optimum value of OPC was found to be 6%, at which the strength was the highest for both samples treated with OPC alone and samples treated with OPC and 20% recycled tiles. Under similar curing time, the strength of samples treated with recycled tiles and OPC was higher than the treated soil with the same percentage of OPC alone. The stress-strain curves showed ductile plastic behaviour for the untreated soft clay and brittle behaviour for almost all treated samples with OPC alone and OPC with recycled tiles. The microstructural tests indicated the formation of new cementitious products that were responsible for the improvement of the strength, such as calcium aluminium silicate hydrate. This research promotes recycled tiles as a green stabiliser for soil stabilisation capable of reducing the amount of OPC required for ground improvement. The replacement of OPC with recycled tiles resulted in higher strength compared to the control mix and this achievement may results in reducing both OPC in soil stabilisation and the disposal of recycled tiles into landfills.
