some floor specimens did not. Floors on the second or higher sto-
ries were designed to have a thickness of 130 mm. Although floor
specimens showed no extraordinary appearance, the floors were
thin, making it hard to ensure adequate strength.

The large percentage of fine powder resulted from a high dust
collecting ratio in order to achieve high-quality recycled fine
aggregate.

of the station were made from exposed concrete or vibration-
damping glass. Recycled concrete was used to build these con-
crete walls while clay tiles with recycled fine powder were used
as floor tiles. The composition of the concrete is shown in
Table 12. The concrete, using moderate heat cement, had a
design strength of 24 N/mm2. Five agitator trucks poured a total
20m3 of concrete. A sample was taken and tested from all five
trucks. It was a clear day with the outdoor temperature between
23 °C and 24 °C.
