It is now established that more than two types of blended aggregate have beneficial effects on quality and supply of concrete in the long run. However, studies on blended aggregate have not widely been progressive and the evaluation method of its most favorable mixture proportion is still needed. Therefore this study investigated the most favorable mixture proportion through the physical experiment of fresh and hardened state's cement mortar, in response to three types of composite ratio, natural fine aggregate(Ns), crushed fine aggregate(Cs) and recycled fine aggregate(Rs). Test showed that increase of blending ratio of Ns and Cs improved fluidity of mot1ar. For the properties of compressive and flexural strength, mortar blending Ns and Cs properly, exhibited similar value to one using only Cs, while mortar mixing Rs showed lower strength value as less as 6% of control one. Mortar using only Rs exhibited the largest drying shrinkage value. In addition, even thought it is not a clear quantitative analysis, technical-imaging-skill presenting the most favorable mixture proportion 3-dimensionally is proposed in this research, in order to notify the proportion easily.

This work has been initiated to find possibility whether recycled fine aggregate can be used as a source of aggregate for structural concrete or not. Two-stage mixing approach was chosen in order to maximize strength potential from recycled fine aggregate. Moisture content of the recycled fine aggregate was changed, and two different types of two-stage mixing approaches were applied to produce cement mortar. The strength of mortar made of 100% recycled fine aggregate by two-stage mixing approaches was compared to that of mortar made of 100% washed sea sand. According to the results, the effect of moisture content on compressive strength was observed from low water cement mortar(W/C 0.3). In case of W/C 0.5 cement mortar, no clear relationship was observed between moisture content and strength development. It was found that two-stage mixing approach has a potential to increase the strength of mortar made of 100% recycled fine aggregate. In case of modified version of two-stage mixing approach which first prepares cement paste and pours recycled fine aggregate into the cement paste, was more effective to increase the strength of mortar made of 100% recycled fine aggregate.

In this work, multi-turn wings and guide plates are installed on recycled aggregate crushing devices to improve existing low recycled aggregate quality. Simulation analysis to evaluate the crushing efficiency of the new device shows enhanced crushing efficiency since the installation of guide plates shreds most of the inputs inside the crushing drum, and the multi-turn wings and guide plates induce rebound and circulation of the aggregate. Through this, the new device was found to be more economical and efficient than the existing recycled aggregate crushing device. Also, the amount of cement paste and mortar attached to the surface of the aggregate was smaller than that of the existing recycled aggregate, and it was found that the mechanical properties and elastic modulus deterioration were reduced. However, the carbonation resistance of concrete was not improved to the level of natural aggregates due to the remaining tiny cement paste and mortar on the surface of the new recycled aggregate. Therefore, it is deemed necessary to further research and experiment such as device improvement or binder development to reduce durability degradation of concrete mixed with new recycled aggregate.

Recently, more focus is shift to imbalances in aggregate market supply and demand and an exhaustion of natural resources. In this situation, Electric arc furnace oxidizing slag (EAF slag) has high application possibility as aggregate for concrete due to similar property with general aggregate. However, it is inherent the problem which causes pop-out by free-CaO contained in slag In this study, we've got the plan to assure the chemical stability of EAF slag, and then experimentally tested the mechanical performance and durability for the fine aggregate used EAF slag. On this test result, we suggest the application plan. At the result of this study, it shows that EAF slag would reduce the surface defect such as pop-out due to natural aging for the fixed hour and adjustment the grain size of EAF slag. And mechanical performance and durability according to the replacement rate of concrete service, were revealed more than equal or equal compare to general aggregate. Hereafter, quality control must precede not to impede the beauty of concrete surface as assure the safety for aging and processing. And, to establish the environmental resource recycling system for by-products of steel, it should be made development of various application and guideline of quality control for the EAF slag aggregate. Moreover, it must be constantly studied all kind of engineering performance and durability for related to this study.

This study examined the granite, quartzite, phyllite, schist, and gneiss as aggregate resources among the original rock distributed in the Chungju-Goesan area. The granite distributed in the study area is mainly composed of Jurassic biotite granite, and the quartzite layer is from the Daehyangsan quartzite Formation distributed on the upper part of the Gyemyeongsan Formation and the Hyangsan-ri dolomitic limestone Formation. In addition, phyllite is pophyrytic phyllite-schist from the Hwanggangri Formation of the Okcheon group, schist is chlorite schist, from the Munjuri Formation of the Okcheon group, and gneiss is porphyroblastic gneiss which is the upper part of the Seochangri Formation. Aggregate quality evaluation factors of these rocks included fineness modulus, absorption, unit weight, absolute dry density, solid content, porosity, resistance to abrasion, and soundness. In the case of granite, it was found to be partially unsatisfactory in terms of unit weight, solid content, porosity, and resistance to abrasion. Gneiss was found to be out of the standard values in resistance to abrasion and schist in porosity and solid content. As for the overall quality of aggregate resources, it was analyzed that quartzite, gneiss, and phyllite showed excellent quality. Aggregate quality tests are performed simply for each rock, but the rock may vary depending on the morphology of the mineral. Therefore, when analyzing and utilizing the quality evaluation of aggregate resources, it will be possible to use them more efficiently if the rock-mineralological research is performed together.

The objective of this study is to estimate riverbed fluctuations and the volume of aggregate extraction attributable to climate change. Rainfall-runoff modeling, utilizing the SWAT model based on climate change scenarios, as well as long-term riverbed fluctuation modeling, employing the HEC-RAS model, were conducted for the Nonsan River basin. The analysis of rainfall-runoff and sediment transport under the SSP5-8.5 scenario for the early part of the future indicates that differences in annual precipitation may exceed 600 mm, resulting in a corresponding variation in the basin's sediment discharge by more than 30,000 tons per year. Additionally, long-term riverbed fluctuation modeling of the lower reaches of the Nonsan Stream has identified a potential aggregate extraction area. It is estimated that aggregate extraction could be feasible within a 2.455 km stretch upstream, approximately 4.6 to 6.9 km from the confluence with the Geum River. These findings suggest that the risk of climate crises, such as extreme rainfall or droughts, could increase due to abnormal weather conditions, and the increase in variability could affect long-term aggregate extraction. Therefore, it is considered important to take into account the impact of climate change in future long-term aggregate extraction planning and policy formulation.
