In this research, the influence of low-quality aggregate on engineering properties of concrete was experimentally evaluated. From a series of experiment, the results can be summarized as follow: first, the low-quality aggregate in concrete mixture caused up to 83% of decreased slump. For air content, low-quality aggregate increased air content of concrete mixture. Especially, when sea sand was used, because of the narrow gradation with small size, the air content was significantly increased. The compressive strength of concrete mixtures with low-quality aggregates were decreased up to 29% while some cases showed slightly increased compressive strength at early age. Additionally, the concrete mixture mixed with the exploded debris as a coarse aggregate showed approximately 5 to 20% of decreased compressive strength comparing with high-quality of manufacturing rock. In summary, because of the decreased workability of concrete mixture mixed with low-quality aggregates such as exploded debris, clay, and sea sand, it is concerned that worse quality of the ready mixed concrete, produced with the extra water to compensate the decreased workability.

Plastic wastes generated from domestic waste are separated by mixed discharge with foreign substances, and the cost of the separation and screening process increases, so recycling is relatively low. In this study, as a fundamental study for recycling mixed plastic wastes generated from domestic waste into concrete aggregates, changes in concrete properties according to the plastic waste types and the substitution rate were evaluated experimentally. The mixed plastic waste aggregate(MPWA) was found to have a lower density and a higher absorption rate compared to the coarse aggregate with good particle size distribution. On the other hand, the single plastic waste aggregate(SPWA) was composed of particles of uniform size, and both the density and the absorption rate were lower than that of the fin e aggregate. It was found that the MPWA substitution concrete did not cause a material separation phenomenon due to a relatively good particle size distribution even with the largest amount of plastic waste substitution, and the amount of air flow increased little. The compressive strength and flexural strength of the PWA substitution concrete decreased as the amount of substitution of the PWA increased due to the low strength of the PWA, the suppression of the cement hydration reaction due to hydrophobicity, and the low adhesion between the PWA and the cement paste. It was found that the degree of deterioration in compressive strength and flexural strength of concrete substituted with MPWA having good particle size distribution was relatively small.

Plastic wastes generated from household waste are separated by mixed discharge with foreign substances, and recycling is relatively low. In this study, the effect of the ratio and content of mixed plastic waste coarse aggregate(MPWCA)s and mixed plastic waste fine aggregate(MPWFA)s filled with blast furnace slag fine powder on the slump and compressive strength of concrete was evaluated experimentally. The MPWCAs were found to have a similar fineness modulus, but have a single particle size distribution with a smaller particle size compared to coarse aggregates. However, the MPWFAs were found to have a single particle size distribution with a larger fineness modulus and particle size compared to fine aggregates. Meanwhile, the effect of improving the density and filling pores by the blast furnace slag fine power was found to be greater in the MPWFA compared to the MPWCA. As the amount of the mixed plastic waste aggregate(MPWA)s increased, the slump and compressive strength of concrete decreased. In particular, the lower the slump and compressive strength of concrete was found to decrease the greater the amount of MPWFA than MPWCA when the amount of MPWA was the same. This is because of the entrapped air and voids formed under the angular- and ROD-shaped aggregates among the MPWFAs. On the other hand, the addition of the admixture and the increase in the unit amount of cement were found to be effective in improving the compressive strength of the concrete with MPWAs.

The damages due to alkali-aggregate reaction between the reactive silicia constituents of the aggregate and the alkalies in cement have been frequently reported since 1923 in America . Recently alkali-aggregate reaction, especially alkali-silica reaction, can be found all over the area using crushed stones. The first research, in 1990, was performed to identify the alkali-silica reactivity of 18 sets of crushed stones used in domestic ready-mixed concrete plant as coarse aggregates by 4 petrollgical, chemical and mortar bar method, And the study was continued with 10 sets of crushed stones in this research. It was found that all the aggregates used in this study are innocuous at alkali-silica reaction.

In this paper in order to analyze the mechanical properties, the permeability and the freezing properties of SB-2 materials which are mainly used with the subbase materials on the rod. For this ends, a series of the physical test, the permeability test and the freezing test were carried out the samples mixed the small aggregate and the big aggregate from which was re-classified the SB-2. From the test results, it was analyzed the characteristics of permeability and the characteristics of freezing of the samples.

In lTI2ny countries, a considemble amount of demolition waste IS generated and concrete forms a signiftcallt proportion of the waste. The neceSSity for the lIse of recycled aggregate in concrete arises due to the following reasons : (1) diminishing supplies of natuml aggregates; (2) securing ample supply of concrete aggregates to the construction industry; (3) dirninisrl! ng dumping area within the utban limits; and (4) avoid,ing danger to marine life by limiting the indiscriminate dumping of highly alkaline nature of concrete in the sea. It is the purpose of thiS report to improve the quality of recycled aggregate concrete and to put to practical use of such concrete.

Recently in the domestic construction industry, source depletion has resulted in instances of ready-mixed concrete companies using river sand or crushed sand with high fine particle content. But the use of such low-quality fine aggregate is known to cause concrete quality to decline and have negative effects. So this study analyzed how much of an impact changes in fine particle content have on cement mortar's engineering characteristics. As a result, the flow rate and air quantity, which are characteristics of unhardened mortar, were shown to decrease as fine particle content increased, and compression strength, a characteristic of light mortar, was shown to subtly increase as fine particle content decreased.

As civilization progresses amount of sewage sludge continues to increase from a sewage disposal plant with a huge expenditure of water resources. So It is necessary to reduce the high costs of sewage disposal and the pollution of the environment and also a unit cost of artificial lightweight aggregate by continual recycling. The purpose of this study is to put artificial lightweight aggregate concrete to practical use by using sewage sludge and clay

In this study, the characteristics of the Mock-up test were reviewed to analyze the applicability of the coal gasification slag (CGS) from the integrated gasification combination Cycle (IGCC) to the concrete fine aggregate. The analysis shows that CGS and crushed sand mix is the best combination of CGS combined with about 50 % of CGS based on the effects of promoting liquidity and strength. This is expected to be a positive factor in securing the strength and flexibility of concrete given the optimal mix of CGS, and may also contribute to the improvement of quality.
