Recently, because of the shortage of natural aggregate and the environment regulation of government, the application of recycled aggregate by solution method is observed according as the concern for the reuse of waste concrete. But because the quality of recycled aggregate is poor and quantitative quality judgment standard of recycled aggregate is fluffy, construction field application is difficult. Therefore, this study compares and investigates effect that quality of recycled aggregate influencing recycled concrete. As the result of this study, the more quality of aggregate increases, the more recycled concrete quality increased and high quality recycled aggregate generally displayed performance of similar level with nature aggregate. But, durability of recycled concrete using recycled aggregate appeared lower than concrete using natural aggregate without reference to aggregate quality.

This research examined the effect of the quality of aggregate on concrete workability and compressive strength through an investigation into regional aggregate used in domestic ready mixed concrete plants. Through the research, it was found that aggregate for ready mixed concrete shows poor quality overall. The main factor of deterioration in the quality of the concrete is the particle size of fine aggregate and fine particle content in coarse aggregate. The quality of aggregate significantly influences concrete's workability, which is defined based on 0.08mm passage related with powder and absorption. In addition, poor aggregate quality leads to increased water content in concrete to secure workability, which is related with a decline in the compressive strength and durability of concrete.

As the supply and demand of natural aggregate becomes more difficult in the domestic construction site continuously, many studies related to the recycled aggregate produced in the construction waste are going on. However, because of the safety and performance of the recycled aggregate, it is not used as aggregate for the structure, and it is mainly used as a nonstructural material. In addition, as the "recycled aggregate quality standard" has been revised in 2017, quality standards for various properties of recycled aggregate have been adjusted, and production technology suitable for recycled aggregate quality standards for concrete is needed. In this study, to improve the quality of recycled aggregate, we applied multistage wind pressure treatment method to the existing recycled aggregate production facility and compared the density, absorption rate, particle size before and after recycled aggregate treatment. As a result, quality criteria in various properties were analyzed satisfactorily.

Though recycled aggregate is useful resources for concrete, its application to structural frame is not frequent, because of low quality of recycled aggregate. Owing to the development of manufacturing technology to recycled aggregate, it is possible to produce high quality recycled aggregate. The purpose of this study is to confirm the applicability of the high quality recycled aggregate, instead of the natural aggregate, to normal concrete. Main factors of this study are substitute proportion of recycled aggregate, types of recycled aggregate, targeting compressive strength of recycled concrete. From the results of the study, we concluded that it is possible to use high quality recycled aggregate, to get the same strength as concrete using normal aggregate.

This study is aimed to utilize for basic material of concrete quality management through evaluate properties of fresh and hardened concrete with the aggregate quality. As a result, fine aggregate's slump change of between one grade was 8~82% and in case of coarse aggregate, slump change of between one grade was 2~22% on same mixing condition. The unit water for same workability condition, unit water was increased 16kg/㎥ with decreasing of one grade for fine aggregate and unit water was increased 5kg/㎥ with decreasing of one grade for coarse aggregate.

The increase of the use of recycled aggregate is necessary for the decrease of building waste, but it is not possible to use concrete because of the various range of quality. Therefore, the quality grade and application method of recycled aggregate should be prescribed before the site application so in that this study we investigated the effect of the quality of recycled aggregate on the compressive strength, resistance freezing and thawing. As results of this study, the compressive strength of recycled aggregate concrete used recycled aggregate, as if it had high quality recycled aggregate is similar or higher to that of crushed stone. Also, this high quality recycled aggregate affect the increase of resistance freezing and thawing.

Recycled aggregate has structural limitations in that it cannot be actively used for use as a structural building material due to quality deviations such as increase in cracks, decrease in constructability during in-situ casting, and decrease in strength. Although the government gives incentives to use recycled aggregate concrete for major structural parts of buildings to revitalize recycled aggregate concrete, there is a perception that the quality control of recycled aggregate producers that produce raw materials is insufficient. In this study, recycled aggregate, I checked the quality of the company that handles the quality. We are working on this.

Recycled aggregate by the recycling construction waste has a lot of advantage such as the developing the alternative resource and protecting of environment. However, recycled aggregate is used as the low quality grade, because the technic to remove old mortar from aggregate is low level. To use the recycled aggregate as high quality grade, it is important to develop the technic to produce the high quality recycled aggregate. To manufacture the high quality recycled aggregate, old mortar attached on the aggregates should remove efficiently. Therefore, in this study, we suggested the optimum condition to remove old mortar effectively using sulfuric acid and low speed wet rotary mill for high quality recycled fine aggregate. The results shows that the recycled aggregate satisfy on the standards of KS F 2573 in density, absorption and solid volume when, adequate condition of sulfuric mole ratio and aggregate ratio are make.

In the past, recycled aggregate was used very limitedly in low value-added areas such as the base layer of roads. However, in response to the shortage of natural aggregate, high consciousness of resource saving and changed idea on environment, the quality of recycled aggregate has been improved considerably, and the percentage of recycled construction waste is increasing every year compared to simple landfill or incineration. Recently the Act on the Promotion of Construction Waste Recycling was enacted on December 2003 for the efficient use of recycled aggregate, and the Standards for the Quality of Recycled Aggregate for Concrete (Proposal) were announced in order to use and manage recycled aggregate according to quality. According to the Standards for the Quality of Recycled Aggregate for Concrete (Proposal), it is recommended to substitute recycled coarse aggregate and fine aggregate below 30% each. However, compared to the trend of recycling, the recycling rate of aggregate is still quite low. It is because of low performance of recycled aggregate, users' lack of understanding, etc. These problems basically come from the decrease of strength of recycled concrete resulting from the use of recycled aggregate, and recycled aggregate is still considered not reliable because there have been not many cases of actual application. If the basic problem of strength decrease is solved and data on recycled aggregate is provided through actual field placing, we may maximize the use of recycled aggregate. Thus, in order to maximize the use of recycled aggregate that satisfy the recycled aggregate quality standards, the present study made a mock-up similar to real structures, evaluated its performance and examined the field applicability of recycled aggregate concrete.

In this research by examining the influence that low quality aggregate has on the strength of concrete through testing, the lowering of strength according to use of low quality coarse aggregate was reviewed. The results showed that when using low quality coarse aggregate, due to the quality of aggregate a high volume of units was required, and this caused the compression strength to be lowered. In conclusion it was confirmed that if the low quality aggregate was used as is without mix correction this would lead to faulty construction and if the aggregate was corrected to about 60 kg/m3 mix correction, this would lead to an economically infeasible concrete mix.
