  • The purpose of paper is to suggest directions of sustainable Architecture for dwelling planning. It deals with foreign examples regarding recycling Architecture in the point of using natural resources and enerty effectively and minimizing environmental wastes. The methods which can be applied to Korean dwelling planning are as follows : 1) To use the underground space of apartments as public energy-saving facility 2) To use conservatory passive solar systems at south-facing balconies of apartments 3) To flow daylight into the staircase fo single-family house 4) To construct compactly doors and windows which have high-level insulation with high insulated walls and ventilation systems 5) To recycle materials such as steel. wood and soil 6) To recycle space according to the change of uses 7) To make users participate actively when we plan for dwelling.

  • Reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) is abundant substitute for natural aggregate in many areas. It is obtained by crushing of old road pavements in milling machine during rehabilitation and reconstruction process. In this study, reclaimed asphalt pavement mortars (RAPM) have been produced with different cement dosages and replacement ratios. The destructive and nondestructive tests have been conducted on specimens to determine physical and mechanical properties of RAPM. The free and restrained shrinkage tests on RAPM have been conducted to predict fractural behavior of mortars. The aim of the shrinkage tests was to delay crack formation and improve strain capacity of mortars before cracking. The results showed that RAPM exhibits lower elasticity modulus; however the tensile capacity was improved for deformation before cracking.

  • Shape separation method - a separation process which utilizes the fact that particles of different shape behave differently in force fields- is regarded as an useful measure for recycling, mineral processing, upgrading powdered material and so on. In this study, a trial was given to shape separation method using fluid field to recover pure diatom skeleton - which is thought to have many uses in itself and potential for various applications -from low grade diatomaceous earth of southeastern part of the Korean Peninsula. The striking difference of shape between diatom skeleton and other minerals like clay and quartz made it natural to choose shape separation method. Considering the size of particles to be separated, among many possible methods of shape separation, hydrodynamic field using hydrocyclone was adopted. And it resulted in recovery of pure diatom skeleton with high purity

  • Recycling of waste concrete will contribute not only to the solution of a growing waste disposal problem, also help to conserve natural resources of aggregate and to secure future supply of reasonably recycled aggregates for building construction purpose within large urban areas. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to analyze the applicability of recycled concrete in the influence of a substitute rate of recycled aggregate. As the result of this study, it is possible to conform that the recycled aggregate concrete substituted by 30~50% of the crushed aggregate can be applicated in site.

  • As growing of industrialization and increasing of population, the quantities of waste glasses 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. This study is aimed to investigate the effect of load and deflection on fiber reinforced concrete slab model utilizing waste glass by fine aggregates. The flexural strength of the concrete including waste glass increased considerably, as the inclusion rate of steel fiber were increased. And the first crack load, maximum load and energy absorption capacity increased remarkably as the inclusion rate of steel fiber were increased. Therefore, in this study we confirmed the possibility of application for the usage of waste glass to the steel fiber reinforced concrete.

  • This study purports to investigate the status quo of the environmentally-friendly green healthcare in teaching hospitals through the questionnaire survey. Data were collected from a total of 46 hospitals. The survey results revealed that most teaching hospitals did not meet the global standard of environmentally-friendly green hospitals. Especially, such items as alternative energy system, water recycling, CO2 emission reduction, green building construction, installation of pond or spring were found to be significantly below global standard. Based upon the study results, various strategies for establishing green hospitals were discussed. For example, energy saving design, such as solar heating, natural wind cooling, automatic temperature controller, green material use, wall surrounded by ivy, were recommended. In conclusion, the strategy and evaluation tool developed in the study will provide a good guide for establishing environmentally-friendly green hospitals.

  • In this paper, we reported that the influence of advanced functional mineral filler calcium carbonate ($CaCO_3$) extracted from oyster shell waste, which are rich mineral sources of $CaCO_3$. Oyster Shells, available in abundance, have no eminent use and are commonly regarded as waste. Their improper disposal causes a significant level of environmental concern and also results in a waste of natural resources. Recycling shell waste could potentially eliminate the disposal problem, and also turn an otherwise useless waste into high value added products. Oyster shell waste calcination process to produce pure lime (CaO) which have good anti-microbial property for waste water treatment and then focuses on its current applications to treat the coffee waste and its effluents for biological treatment and utilization as a fertilizers.

  • Recently, because of the increase of management system about waste concrete and the policy of recycling promotion of government, the use of recycled aggregate is rapidly increasing nowadays. But, due to the poverty of quality and the lack of KS standard, the use of recycled fine aggregate is not active. Therefore, it was intended to compare and investigate effects which types of sand and replacement ratio of recycled fine aggregate. As the result of this study, in the case of the recycled replacement ratio of 25$\%$, fresh and engineering properties were higher than those of natural fing aggregates with the exception of durability. Also, because quality according to types of fine aggregate shows the difference between various properties, it was considered that the profound study for this result would be necessary.

  • Recycling demolished concrete as an alternative source of coarse aggregates for the production of new concrete can help solve the growing waste disposal crisis and the problem of depleted natural aggregates. The purpose of this study is to investigate chloride migration of recycled aggregate concrete containing pozzolanic materials by chloride migration coefficient. The specimens were made with recycled coarse aggregate as various replacement ratio(10, 30, 50%) and metakaolin, blast furnace slag, fly ash is replaced for recycled concrete with mixing ratio 20%. The major results are as follows. 1) Compressive strength of recycled aggregate concrete containing pozzolanic materials increase as curing age and chloride migration decrease. 2) When the replacement ratio of recycled coarse aggregate is 30%, the chloride migration coefficient of recycled concrete containing blast furnace slag, metakaolin shows the similar or lower value than plain concrete at all ages.
