Ready-mixed concrete(RMC) has been a major construction materials for infrastructures. However, RMC with poor quality is reported to be social issue since it directly user's safety and convenience. Because the properties of concrete as a construction material are greatly influenced by the variation of water content, to control water accurately is the most efficient method for the quality control in RMC industry. In this study, the automatic measurement technology of fine aggregate was developed by using the microwave moisture measurement. For the various conditions of fine aggregate such as moisture, temperature and pressure, the calibration curve of moisture measurement was obtained by using oven-dry method. From the infield and outfield test, it can be obtained that the accuracy of microwave moisture measurement is very high and the automatic system of microwave moisture measurement is very convenient and useful for quality control in RMC Industry.

In this research, regarding the cement supplied to ready mixed concrete plant, the feasibility of rapid acquisition test for cement fineness using hydrometer which used for early strength evaluation of concrete was analyzed. Additionally, regarding the rapid test with hydrometer control factors were provided. As a result of analysis, quality control using hydrometer was possible with the regressive equation obtained in five minute between density of suspension and fineness of cement powder. As the control factors, dispersing admixture, replacing kerosene as a medium, and temperature of cement and water were evaluated. According to the control factor evaluation, the tap water was optimum as a medium and calibration of keeping the temperature of water to $20^{\circ}C$ or correction factor was needed for density results. Finally, it is considered that the suggested rapid quality evaluation method using hydrometer is cheaper and easier method than currently used Blaine test.

In this research, regarding the type three blast furnace slag (BS) regulated by KS F 2563 and supplied to actual ready mixed concrete plant, the fineness on specification and actually measured fineness by Blain test were compared, and by applying the hydrometer method used for early prediction of concrete strength, the feasibility of the hydrometer method for acquisition inspection of BS was analyzed. Additionally, the influence of various fineness of BS on properties of cement mortar was also assessed. According to the experimental results of this research, correlation of fineness values between specification and actually measured data were not matched. In the case of the rapid evaluation method using hydrometer, a good relation was shown between the fineness data obtained from hydrometer and Blain test. furthermore, from the cement mortar properties test, there was a good relation was obtained between fineness data from rapid evaluation method by hydrometer and cement mortar properties, while there was no clear relation between fineness data from specification and cement mortar properties. Hence, as a qulity controlling method of BS fineness, a rapid evaluation method using hydrometer is suggested as a new method.

In this study, the characteristics of recycled aggregate concrete according to the mixing ratio of recycled fine aggregate were analyzed by design strength to explore its use in the production of ready-mixed concrete. The results show that, depending on the ratio of recycled aggregate, the compressive strength is similar to that of normal concrete and does not deteriorate. Therefore, it is possible to achieve a strength similar to the target design strength. Furthermore, if the ratio of recycled fine aggregate for concrete is up to 25 % of the total aggregate amount (50 % of the to-tal fine aggregate), slump does not cause problems. Our findings show that the higher the de-sign standard strength, the greater the amount of powder, and management of slump reduction, unit quantity, and performance system is necessary. The obtained results show that recycled ag-gregate can be used for the production of ready-mixed concrete after adjusting its mixing ratio and concrete mix proportions.

Recently, trouble of sand supplying is occurred according to exhaustion of natural sand resources. Therefore various measures are proposed for solution of trouble of sand supply and crushed sand among measures is used as one of most universal measures. But because crushed sand have poor particle shape and plenty of makes micro particle, the quality of concrete using crushed sand deteriorated. Therefore, this study evaluated engineering property of concrete with replacement ratio of crushed sand and EEZ sand and applied evaluation result to fundamental data for quality control of concrete using crushed sand and EEZ sand. The result of this study have shown that quality of concrete using crushed sand and EEZ sand and The compressive strength of concrete up to 50, 70% EEZ sand replacement by crush sand, nearly equal to that of general sand.

In this study the compressive strength data were collected from ready­mix concrete plants, and the analysis result showed that when using A­D test the concrete of 24MPa is suitable than that of 21MPa for normal distribution. The prediction formula for average compressive strength were proposed to $f_{cu}=f_{ck}+4(MPa)$. When comparing the proposed equations and existing relationship, the estimation variations of elastic modulus and creep modulus were not significant. The proposed equation confirmed that there was no effect to the influence function for modulus of elasticity and creep. Therefore, it was concluded that the proposed equation could replace the exiting interaction formula.

Recently, the concern on the receipt of poor ready-mixed concrete in the construction field and the durability of concrete has been increased. Based on the such background, a large number of measuring methods of water content for fresh concrete have been developed and enforced in a developed country. In this study, to investigate practicality for quality control of ready-mixed concrete among various water content measurement techniques, microwave range method, air meter method and capacitance measurement method as measuring methods of water content were selected. Then, it was evaluated estimating performance of water content according to the change of binder types, fine aggregate types, absorption ratio, water content and water-binder ratio in series I and II. Also, it was examined influence on error occurrence of water content according to change of properties of used materials in series III. Finally, based on this study, it was proposed fundamental data to utilize measurement technique of water content to quality control of ready-mixed concrete in construction field.

제로 에미션(zero emission)이란 영어를 뜻대로 번역하면 "배출을 없게 한다"라고 할 수 있다. 그러나, 이는 현재까지의 기술로 대기오염의 배출영역까지 제로화는 불가능하므로 이 부분을 포함시키는 것은 적합하지 않고, 유상이던 무상이던 매립되는 최종 처분량인 배출물(폐기물)을 제로화 시키는 운동으로 정의되고 있다. 즉, 대상으로 하는 산업에서 발생하는 배출물을 다른 산업의 자원으로 재이용(recycling)하고, 산업 관련망으로 배출물이 나오지 않게 네트워크 시스템을 구축하는 일종의 환경운동으로 이해하면 좋을 것이다.(중략)

레미콘의 품질성능을 좌우하는 것은 콘크리트 사용재료 및 배합뿐만 아니라 레미콘을 제조하는 믹서 및 이를 현장까지 운반하는 트럭 에지테이터의 품질성능에 크게 좌우된다. 그러나, 레미콘 공장의 혼합 설비인 믹서 및 트럭 에지테이터에 관한 국내 자료는 거의 전무한 실정이며 이에 관한 연구도 상대적으로 매우 부족하다. 특히, 최근에는 고강도 콘크리트, 고유동 콘크리트, 고강도 경량 콘크리트, 수중불분리 콘크리트, 섬유보강 콘크리트 등 고성능 콘크리트 성능에 대한 요구가 날로 증가하는 추세이며 이에 따라 레미콘 공장에서도 혼합설비 및 운반설비가 고성능화 되어 가는 추세이다.(중략)

In this study we measured the changes according to time respectively on the basis of 0, 30, 60 and 90 minutes, taking into consideration the decline in fluidity of concrete according to elapsed time to analyze manufacturing capability of batcher plant according to elapsed time of ready-mixed concrete manufactured in batcher plant, and offer basic data for mixture design of ultra-high strength concrete. The proportion of water-binder was 23.55, water content was 160kg/m3, proportion of replacement of crushed sand was 0, 20 and 40% at 3 level, and we applied to the same condition of triaxial component using blast furnace slag powder and silica fume as admixture. And to meet the demand of certain fluidity, we measured respectively on property before and after hardening of ultra-high strength concrete using superplasticizer. As a result of experiment, before hardening of ultra-high strength concrete showed the best fluidity in conditions of crushed sand replacement rates of 20% and superplasticizer composition of 1.95%, but it appeared that fluidity drops as time goes by in the same composition condition. And it appeared that when it comes to hardened, the changes of compression strength according to elapsed time by crushed sand replacement rates were within 1MPa. Therefore, it turned out that the difference of strength according to elapsed time was low and compression strength of 280dys in composition mentioned above appeared highly as 88MPa.
