In recent years, the amount of construction waste and recycled aggregate has been increasing every year in Korea. However, as the recycled aggregate is poor quality, it is not used for concrete, and the Korean government has strengthened the quality standards for recycled aggregate for concrete. In this study, research was conducted on the mechanical and durability characteristics of concrete using recycled aggregate, after developing equipment to improve the quality of recycled aggregate to increase the use of recycled aggregate for environmental improvements. The results illustrated improvements in the air volume, slump, compressive strength, freezing and thawing resistance, and drying shrinkage. Furthermore, this study is expected to contribute to the increased use of recycled aggregate in the future.

This paper addresses problems of aggregate concrete of construction wastes, which were featured as large water absorption, quick slump loss, as well as easy bleeding and low strength of concrete. A comparative analysis by experiment between recycled aggregate concrete and ordinary concrete was made on aspects of water absorbability, compressive strength, slump loss, bleeding rate, drying shrinkage and economic efficiency. It has found possible to preparing the recycled aggregate concrete of high performance through the prewetting recycled aggregate. It is concluded that construction wastes can be recycled by obtaining the optimum mole of preparing recycled aggregate concrete of construction wastes and evaluating their reliability on cost-lefficiency and mechanic capability,thus, it also recycled the limited resources and solve some environment problems.

Material adsorption, the reverse process of evaporation diffusion, directly reflects the wettability of materials. Wettability is one of the main factors that affect the drying shrinkage of materials. A device that measures the wettability of recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) with fly ash is proposed in this study based on pore structure theory. The isothermal absorption curve of RAC is examined with different fly ash contents. Results show that as the recycled aggregate replacement rate increases, the moisture absorption capacity of RAC gradually increases. The addition of fly ash improves the porosity of RAC structures and reduces material wettability.

Material adsorption process is the reverse process of evaporation diffusion, reflecting directly the wetting degree of material, is one of the main factors of material drying shrinkage. Based on pore structure theory, this article designed a device measuring the wetting properties of materials, tested different recycled aggregate replacement rate recycled aggregate concrete isothermal absorption curve. The article proposes the water contact angle can be calculated from the initial absorption curve, and analyzes its impact on drying shrinkage of recycled aggregate concrete.

Analyzing the related literature at home and abroad, this paper summarized the results and shared them with reasearchers involved in the field on the recycled aggregate concrete (RAC). In this paper, the durability of RAC will be described from the following several aspects: absorption, chloride permeability, freezing and thawing resistance, carbonation, the sulfate corrosion resistance, drying shrinkage, creep and abrasion resistance. This paper expounded the present situation and progress in the study of the durability of recycled aggregate concrete.Then, some key technical problems needed to be studied were pointed out and many suggestions were put forward.
