Recycled aggregate (RA) produced from demolished concrete waste can bring about several problems on concrete performance, when it is used as aggregate for new concrete. Because RA generally has lower quality than natural aggregate due to the residual cement paste attached on RA and various impurities. It is also very difficult to ensure that the quality of RA remains consistent, because generally RA is produced variously. Thus, in concrete recycling, it is extremely important to estimate the risk of the impurities which could affect performances of recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) focusing on the material flow of concrete waste and its recycling. This study suggests an evaluation result to expect the possibility of impurity mixing in RA production procedure. and suggests a risk evaluation model to expect the changes of RAC performances based on conventional data in Japan.

The computational flow analysis using LES technique was carried out to investigate the flow characteristics of a RAC chassis consisting of a rear-guider, a stabilizer and a cross-flow fan. The commercial SC/Tetra software was used in this analysis. In view of the results so far achieved, the distribution trends of static pressure and velocity vector of central region except the edges of a CFFan are similar regardless of the number of revolution, and an eccentric vortex exists around the bottom blade of a CFFan. Also, a reverse flow is found in the region between stabilizer and CFFan. Moreover, near the edges of a CFFan, an eccentric vortex is separated to two vortexes. Also these vortexes increase the velocity near a rear-guider, and guide the flow near a rear-guider into stabilizer inlet. Therefore, the reverse flow region is formed in the bottom of a CFFan.

In this paper three damaged exterior RC beam-column joints made of recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) were repaired. The aim of the study was to restore back the lost capacity of the beam-column joint to the original state or more. A relatively cheap material locally available galvanized steel welded wire mesh (GSWWM) of grid size 25 mm was used to confine the damaged region and then jacketed with cement mortar. Repaired specimens were also subjected to similar cyclic displacement as those of unrepaired specimens. Seismic parameters such as load carrying capacity, ductility, energy dissipation, stiffness degradation etc. were analyzed. Results show that repaired specimens exhibited better seismic performance and hence the adopted repairing strategies could be considered as satisfactory. These findings would be helpful to the field engineers to adopt a suitable rapid and cost efficient repairing technique for restoring the damaged frame structural joints for post earthquake usage.

The mechanical properties of Recycled Aggregate Concrete (RAC) with 100 percent Recycled Coarse Aggregate (RCA) under loading rates were investigated in depth. The theoretical model was validated utilizing the RAC elastic modulus obtained from cylindrical specimens subjected to various strain rates. Viscoelastic theories have traditionally been used to describe creep and relaxation of viscoelastic materials at low strain rates. In this study, viscoelastic theories were extended to the time domain of high strain rates. The theory proposed was known as reversed viscoelastic theory. Normalized Dirichlet-Prony theory was used as an illustration, and its parameters were determined. Comparing the predicted results to the experimental data revealed a high level of concordance. This methodology demonstrated its ability to characterize the strain rate effect for viscoelastic materials, as well as its applicability for determining not only the elastic modulus for viscoelastic materials, but also their shear and bulk moduli.

In this study, we prepared poly(ethylene-ter-1-hexene-ter-divinylbenzene) using briged rac-$Et[Ind]_2ZrCl_2$ or unbriged $Cp_2ZrCl_2$ metallocene catalysts. Bridged rac-$Et[Ind]_2ZrCl_2$ catalyst showed relatively good results compared with unbridged one. When cocatalyst/catalyst molar ratio was 3000, catalytic activity indicated more than 8000(kg of polymer/$mol{\cdot}h$) which was very remarkable value. As a polymerization time increased, the weight-average molecular weight of the terpolymer gradually increased to some degree. In the case of a polymerization time of 50 minutes, the state of the terpolymer became amorphous. The range of the weight-average molecular weight and the densities of the terpolymer was 110,000~200,000 and $0.85{\sim}0.89g/cm^3$, respectively. The thermal properties and the structure of the terpolymer were also identified.
