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.

This study is intended to investigate an influence of the kinds and the maximum size of aggregate on the compressive strength of small size core specimen. According to the results, the compressive strength of standard specimen is large in order of basalt, granite and limestone aggregate, and shows increasing tendency as the maximum size of aggregate grows large. The compressive strength of concrete using basalt aggregate shows similar tendency to granite aggregate, and that of concrete using limestone aggregate decreases slightly, compared with granite aggregate. The reducing ratio of the compressive strength of 25mm core specimen is least when the maximum size of aggregate is 10mm. But the compressive strength of 50 and 100mm core specimen is almost not influenced by the maximum size of aggregate.

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.

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.

PURPOSES : The objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of the residual mortar of recycled concrete aggregate on the expansion behavior during alkali silica reaction (ASR). METHODS: In order to evaluate the net effect of residual mortar on ASR expansion behavior, two aggregate samples with the same original virgin aggregate source but different residual mortar volumes were used. ASTM C1260 test was used to evaluate the ASR expansion behavior of these two aggregates and the original virgin aggregate. RESULTS: The greater the amount of residual mortar in recycled concrete aggregates, the less is the induced ASR expansion. Depending on the amount of residual mortar in recycled concrete aggregate, the ASR expansion of recycled concrete aggregate may be less than half of that of the original virgin aggregate. CONCLUSIONS: The residual mortar of recycled concrete aggregate may lead to the under estimation of the ASR expansion behavior of the original virgin aggregate.

A research for recycling the demolished-concrete as concrete aggregate has been concerned in all over the world. There, however, are some problems that qualities of recycled aggregates are not only largely different, but also mechanical properties of recycled aggregate concrete decrease a little in comparison with that of natural aggregate concrete. In this study, the resistance of freezing and thawing of concrete using source-concrete recycled aggregate(SRN) and demolished-concrete recycled aggregate(DRA) was investigated. Futhermore a research for improvement of freeze and thaw durability of recycled aggregate concrete was performed. Relative dynamic modulus of elasticity of SRN and DRA recycled aggregate concrete was dropped 60% before 150 of freezing and thawing cycle, and was much lower than that of control concrete. Relative dynamic modulus of elasticity of recycled aggregate concrete was increased to decrease water-cement ratio, but the freeze and thaw durability of recycled aggregate concrete was not enough improved. Futhermore, when metakaolin and silica fume were repalced, the freeze and thaw durability of recycled aggregate concrete containg metakaolin was more improved than that of silica fume.

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.
