Abstract |
Recently, interest grew on the quality of aggregates following the diminution of primary resources from river as to grow construction demand and the low grade of nature sand like sea sand. following, need is to diversify the supply sources of fine aggregates which are excessively relying on sea sand and urgency is to find as soon as possible aggregate resources that can substitute sea sand. On the other hand, various fine aggregates we utilized to produce concrete in the domestic construction fields. However, few studies have been systematically investigated on the effects of such fine aggregates on concrete properties. Therefore, this study examined the effects of comparatively widely used fine aggregates in the domestic construction fields on the shrinkage, durability and watertightness of concrete. Results revealed that drying shrinkage increases, and durability and watertightness degrades for concrete using crushed sand than natural fine aggregates like sea sand and river sand. Especially, the use of crushed sand exhibiting bad grain shape and grade was larger adverse effect on the quality of concrete. In addition, appropriate adjustment of the grain shape and grade during the blending of crushed sand exhibiting bad grain shape and grade with natural aggregates appeared to enhance the shrinkage and durability of concrete.
