The aim of this investigation is to prepare geopolymer resin by alkali activation of ceramic waste (AACW) with different sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and liquid sodium silicate (LSS) concentrations. In order to prepare geopolymer cement, AACW was replaced by 10 and 30 % by weight (wt.,) of concrete waste (CoW) as well as 10 and 30 wt., % ground granulated blast-furnace slag (GGBFS). The results showed that, the compressive strength of AACW increases with the increase of activator content up to 15:15 wt., % NaOH: LSS. All AACW hardened specimens activated by 3:3 (MC6), 6:6 (MC12), 12:12 (MC24) and 15:15 wt., % (MC30) NaOH: LSS destroyed when cured in water for 24h. The MC18 mix showed higher resistivity to water curing. The results also showed that, the replacement of AACW containing 9:9 wt., % NaOH: LSS (MC18) by 10 (MCCo10) and 30 (MCCo30) wt., % CoWdecreased the compressive strength at all ages of curing. In contrast, the MCCo10 mix showed the lower chemically combined water content compared to MC18 mix. The MCCo30 mix showed the higher chemically combined water content compared to MC18 and MCCo10 mixes. The compressive strength and chemically combined water of all AACWmixes containing GGBFS (MCS10 and MCS30) were higher than those of AACWwith no GGBFS (MC18). As the amount of GGBFS content increases the chemically combined water increases. The x-ray diffraction (XRD) proved that as the amount of CoWcontent increases, the degree of crystallinity increases. Conversely, the replacement of AACW by GGBFS leads to increase the amorphiticity character. The infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) confirms the higher reactivity of GGBFS compared to CoW as a result of successive hydration products formation, enhancing the compaction of microstructure as observed in scanning electron microscopy (SEM).

In this study, a GIS spatial analysis method adopted fuzzy concept was introduced and land suitability analysis of waste landfill were conducted through this method. Previous studies conducted site evaluation and land suitability analysis by appling spatial overlay of conventional GIS that based on the boolean logic of crisp set. However these method can not consider the uncertainty of spatial data and the incongruity of data classification criteria, because these method handle spatial data based on the boolean logic of crisp set. As not provided trustable analysis result, conventional GIS spatial overlay method lacks opportunity for expanding use in reality. This study selected waste landfill as facility for analysis and applied fuzzy spatial analysis method as an objective approach. In the concrete contents of study, a series process with regard to the definition procedure of membership function for continuous data and the fuzzy input value generation of spatial data for fuzzy analysis is established. As a result, in this study we proposed a method that derive parameters for deciding the membership function of spatial data by considering the criterion of data classification and factor selection for land suitability analysis of waste landfill.

The usefulness of vitrification technology for low- and intermediate- level radioactive wastes was demonstrated because of high volume reduction, mechanical and chemical stability of final waste forms. Thus, a construction of the commercial vitrification plant Is currently promoted. Due to the high radiation level of the waste, shielding analysis has to be carried out for safe design in a vitrification facility. Because there has been no experience in the construction and operation of the vitrification facility in Korea, in this study, in order to get some information for help the detailed design and plan for operation in vitrification facility, shielding analysis for each facility in pilot plant is carried out by using source term from established study. For the selection of the shielding material, concrete was chosen compared to the lead because of economic advantage, weight consideration, and thermal resistance.

The domestic reinforcement concrete works have mainly worked the process of re-bar fabrication/assembly on site and re-bar works affected by structural safety, durability, and schedule with form work. Accordingly, This study analyzes the process of re-bar fabrication/assembly on site to apply lean production principles to construction Value Stream Analysis(VSA) is analyzed into value-adding activity and non-value-adding activity on construction process through value analysis and Value Stream Mapping(VSM). In the results, non-value-adding activity generates waste such as the activity steps, labors, equipments, materials, time, and so on. Additionally, push-driven production is investigated making low productivity from the overproduction and so on. To resolve the problems in the process, The purpose of this paper eliminates waste factor through maximizing the value-adding activity generating value added and minimizing non-value adding activity. Particularly, it makes flow production and pull-driven production through minimizing work-in-process(WIP ).

The construction wastes rapidly increase because of redevelopment, the development of new urbanization of large-scale land development, the expansion of social infrastructure. As one of the ways to recycle construction waste to be recycled directly. This case, recycling of materials uses up most of recycled aggregate can be secured reliably. As a result, a decrease in the amount of materials brought in or taken out of the site, the cost of transportation, carbon dioxide emission, and traffic can be reduced. Economic, social and environmental effects can be expected. Therefore, this study of the construction waste "Site-Recycling" to enable the construction waste from the occurrence of "site-recycling" that can be processed in batches to apply the "Site-Recycling Simulation Program" is to develop the algorithms.

Strong alkaline waste water is generated in large quantities due to using Concrete, shotcrete and various compounds in tunnel construction sites. As the release of this alkaline waste water will contaminate the stream water, it has to be neutralized. Currently, this waste water is mainly neutralized by using sulfuric acid or hydrochloric acid, but the risks of corrosion and handling of facilities are inherent and the chemical control act requires strict management measures. Therefore, using CO₂ (carbon dioxide) as an alternative has been highlighted and various indoor experiment studies have been conducted to prove its potential. However, it is difficult to apply CO₂ to the site because it is still completely lacking in field application research and shows different characteristics from indoor experiments. In this study, the actual site applicability is verified through field testing.

Nowadays, all the world face to the global warming problems due to the emission of $CO_2$. From the previous studies, recycled aggregates were used as an alkali activator in blast furnace slag to achieve zero-cement concrete, and favorable results of obtaining strength were achieved. In this study, gypsum and incineration waste ash were used as the additional alkali activation and effects of the gypsum and incineration waste ash to enhance the performance of the mortar were tested. Results showed that although the replacement ratio of 0.5% of incineration waste ash and 20% of anhydrous gypsum resulted in the low of mortar at the early age, while it improved the later strength and achieved the similar strength to that of conventional mortar (at 91 days).

A large amount of combustible household waste are incinerated on a large scale. Incineration ashes including flooring and scattering materials are generated in the incineration facilities. The incineration materials (flooring and scattering) are generated 16.5% of the total amount ashes brought into the incinerator. The amount of incineration materials decrease the landfill period of existing landfills and increase the needs for the construction of new landfills. This study introduces technical and institutional suggestions to solve increasing incineration ash problem by recycling them. As a technical recycling method, incineration materials can be recycled by producing earthwork materials and concrete products. In addition, the government and local governments will be able to promote recycling by improving related laws such as the Waste Management Act and by preparing active institutional support measures such as incentives for recycling companies for Green New Deal strategies.

Recently, since industrial waste and life waste leaped into a pollution source, the building material used now a days is striking the limit. The purpose of this paper is to investigate an application of recycled coal ash using non-sintering method in the construction field. Accordingly, compressive strength, elastic modulus and drying shrinkage were experimentally studied for hardened coal ash using the non-sintering method. Also, Lineweaver and Burk method were applied to the regression analysis of drying shrinkage for the proposal equation. Elastic modulus, compressive strength of material become the basis properties of structural design. And these properties by age for hardened coal ash are important because of change by pozzolan reaction. This hardened coal ash is weak for tensile stress like that of concrete. And drying shrinkage is very important factor to make huge tensile force in early age. In the results, although some differences were shown when comparing coal ash with mortar or concrete, the application as a building material turned out to be possible if further researches were carried out. And the shrinkage characteristic of hardened coal-ash reveals to be similar to that of moderate heat cement.

A tip-over test of the 1/3 scale model is conducted to verify the tip-oner analysis of a dry concrete storage cask under a hypothetical accident condition. The tip-oner analysis is executed using the velocity at each point which are determined from the initial angular velocity as the initial conditions of the model just before the impact. To confirm the structural integrity of the canister of a dry concrete storage cask, the non-detective testing such as Liquid Penetrants testing and Ultrasonic Testing are conducted. The strains and tile accelerations acquired by the tip-over test are compared with those by the analysis to verify the tip-over analysis. The lid of a storage calk are plastically deformed at the impact point. Liquid
