On this research, concrete properties using recycled aggregate from demolished concrete which is majority of construction waste has been comprehended. As engineering properties of concrete using recycled aggregate are lower than plane concrete, it has been modified by SBR latex on this research. Performing the experiment about 'Latex modified concrete using recycled aggregate' and considering the effect of improvement on engineering properties and the way to use recycled aggregate as structural concrete, the conclusion has been found as follow;
(1) Incresaing of recycled aggregate ratio and higher absorption of it, the properties of slump, air content and bleeding ratio are declined. For the concrete using Ι-type recycled coarse aggregate, due to the fine particle shape, slump has been improved in 12%. However, for Ⅲ-type, air content has been increased maximum 5.68% and bleeding ratio has been reduced by 50% because of high absorption ratio and a large quantity of small grain.
(2) Compression strength of the concrete using Ι-type recycled coarse aggregate was 29.4~34.6MPa which is similar to plane concrete. In Ⅱ-type, it was like to Ι-type but it was reduced by 26% in Ⅲ-type. Therefore, considering the structural safety of building, there is a limitation to use Ⅲ-type recycled coarse aggergate for structural concrete.
(3) Drying shrinkage of the concrete using Ι-type recycled coarse aggregate was 1.5~3.0×10-4, which is favorable. In Ⅱ-type it was similar to the Ι-type depend on the ratio of recycled coarse aggregate. So adjusting the transposition ratio of recycled coarse aggregate, it can be assessed to get similar drying shrinkage to the plane concrete except Ⅲ-type having 132%.
(4) For a resistance of freezing and thawing, a relative dynamic modulus of elasticity of the concrete using Ι-type recycled coarse aggregate was almost similar to the plane concrete as 82.5~87.5%. On the other hand, for Ⅱ-type and Ⅲ-type, it was decreased to 12% and 30% respectively. Especially showing the case below 60% in Ⅲ-type, it have potential to cause drawback considering the high W/C mixing method to guarantee a workability.
(5) The flowing properties of the latex modified concrete using recycled aggregate was improved to 44% in 9% of latex mixing ratio using coarse aggregate and to 43% in 6% using fine aggregate. But out of the appropriate ratio, segregation occurred. And air content was reduced as increasing latex mixing ratio. Consequently excessive latex cause segregation and losing the air content so that it need to be cautious when defining the appropriate mixing ratio.
(6) Compression strength of the latex modified concrete using recycled aggregate was increased to 23% in 3% of latex mixing ratio using coarse aggregate and to 15% in 3% using fine aggregate. Accordingly 3% of mixing ratio is most effective in terms of compression strength.
(7) Drying shrinkage(6month after) of the latex modified concrete using recycled aggregate was increased to 16% in 6% of latex mixing ratio using coarse aggregate and to 11% in 3% using fine aggregate. So 6% and 3% of mixing ratio are most effective respectively in terms of drying shrinkage.
(8) The relative dynamic modulus of elasticity(300cycle) of the latex modified concrete using recycled aggregate was increased to 4% in 3% of latex mixing ratio using coarse aggregate and to 2% in 3% using fine aggregate. Therefore 3% of mixing ratio is most effective in terms of the resistance of freezing and thawing.
(9) Taking into account overall result, the concrete using Ι-type recycled coarse aggregate has got similar properties to the plane concrete whereas the concrete using Ⅲ-type recycled coarse aggregate has got limitations to use it as structural concrete. And then in case the concrete using Ⅱ-type recycled coarse aggregate, adjusting the transposition ratio, it can be guaranteed to have a similar properties to the plane concrete. Therefore, improving the engineering properties - such as flowing, strength, drying shrinkage, and durability - of the latex modified concrete using recycled aggregate, it is most effective to substitute 50% of the Ⅱ-type recycled coarse aggregate transposition ratio and 6% of the latex mixing ratio. And, for Ⅱ-type recycled fine aggregate, 30% of the transposition ratio and 3% of the latex mixing ratio are most economical and superior.
