The properties of recycled coarse aggregate and the slump, the physical and mechanical properties and durability of recycled aggregate concrete were studied through tests. The results indicate that the slump, compressive strength and durability of concrete with recycled aggregate are lower than that of concrete with natural aggregate when recycled coarse aggregate fully absorbs water. However, the slump can be similar to that of concrete with natural aggregate. The properties of recycled aggregate concrete can be improved by strengthening the recycled coarse aggregate, and it is also found that the recycled coarse aggregate strengthened by grinding is superior to that soaked by chemical solution.

Objective: Measure and study the mechanical properties and abrasion resistance of recycled aggregate concrete in order to provide experimental basis for the application of recycled aggregate concrete in engineering. Method: Use recycled aggregate concrete with replacement ratio of recycled coarse aggregate respectively for 0%, 30%, 50%, 80% and 100% to do the slump, compressive strength, modulus of elasticity and abrasion resistance tests on them. Result: The workability of concrete decreases with the increase of recycled coarse aggregate content. Mechanical properties of concrete change as the replacement ratios of recycled coarse aggregate change. Conclusion: The recycled aggregate concrete and natural aggregate concrete have similar abrasion resistance. The recycled aggregate concrete can be applied in engineering.

This paper presents the experimental results of recycled aggregate concrete filled steel tube columns prepared with different amount of recycled coarse aggregate (RCA) subjected to axial loading. The recycled coarse aggregates are obtained from the earthquake waste in Sichuan. Based on the studying of the physical and mechanical properties of recycled coarse aggregate, the mechanical property of recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) with five concrete mixes with 0%, 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% RCA respectively are prepared. The behaviour of the circular solid steel tube columns are studied in terms of the load carrying capacity, ductility and strain response under axial compressive loading in addition to the physical and mechanical characteristics of RCA and RAC. The results show that the steel tube column gives lower ultimate bearing capacities when the RCA were added. However, no obvious difference on the failure modes were found between the steel tube columns filled with recycled aggregate concrete and normal concrete.

The complete stress-strain curves of recycled aggregate concrete with different recycled coarse aggregate replacement percentages were tested and investigated. An analysis was made of the influence of varying recycled coarse aggregate contents on the complete stress-strain curve, peak stress, peak strain and elastic modulus etc. The elastic modulus of RC is lower than natural concrete (NC), and with the recycled coarse aggregate contents increase, it reduces. While with the increase of water-cement ratio (W/C), recycled concrete compressive strength and elastic modulus improve significantly. In addition, put forward a new equation on the relationship between Ec and fcu of the RC.

Since high quality natural aggregates are becoming scarce, it is important that industrial recycled products and by-products are used as aggregates for concrete. In Japan, the use of recycled aggregate (RG) is encouraged. Since, strength and durability of recycled aggregate concrete is lower than that of normal aggregate concrete, the use of recycled aggregate has not been significant. In order to improve physical properties of concrete using recycled coarse aggregate, blast furnace slag sand has been proposed. Recently, blast furnace slag sand is expected to improve durability, freezing, and thawing damage of concrete in Japan. Properties of fresh and hardened concrete bleeding, compressive strength, and resistance to freezing and thawing which are caused by the rapid freezing and thawing test using liquid nitrogen is a high loader than the JIS A 1148 A method that were investigated. As a result, concrete using treated low-class recycled coarse aggregate and 50% or 30% replacement of crushed sand with blast furnace slag sand showed the best results, in terms of bleeding, resistance to freezing and thawing.

To comparatively study the tensile properties and fracture patterns of recycled aggregate concrete with various replacement percentages (i.e. 0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100%) of recycled coarse aggregate, the dynamic direct tensile tests, splitting tests, and spalling tests of recycled aggregate concrete in the strain-rate range of 100–102 s−1 were carried out using large diameter (75 mm) split Hopkinson tensile bar and pressure bar. Test results show that for recycled aggregate concrete, the quasi-static direct tensile strength is more marvelous than its quasi-static splitting strength. When recycled coarse aggregate replacement percentage is 0%–75%, the replacement percentage impact minimally on the quasi-static tensile strength of recycled aggregate concrete. In dynamic tensile tests, there exists apparent difference between the dynamic direct tensile strength and dynamic splitting. The dynamic tensile strength of recycled aggregate concrete increases with the increase of average strain-rate in all three kinds of tests. The average strain-rate affects the damage form of recycled aggregate concrete, which indicates that the recycled aggregate concrete has obvious rate sensitivity. There shows no obvious regularity between the dynamic tensile strength and the recycled coarse aggregate replacement percentage. And the indirect tensile strength calculation method used in this article offers the theoretical basis for the engineering application of recycled aggregate concrete.

Recently reutilization of waste concrete becomes one of the hottest issues in civil engineering field throughout the world. However, most of the concerned research focuses on the RCA (recycled coarse aggregate) by simply crushing waste concrete. In this paper shucking technique is developed to secondary process the simply crushing waste concrete for improving the performance of RCA concrete. Test has been done to demonstrate that performances such as strength, elastic modulus et al. of shucking RCA concrete is better than those of common recycled concrete. Simultaneously, beam specimens are made to test the flexural behavior of shucking RCA concrete. Results showed that the deflection of shucking RCA concrete beam is approximately same with that of natural coarse aggregate concrete beam, which solves current problem that recycled aggregate concrete beam has bigger deflection than common concrete beam. The new shucking technique developed in this paper has many advantages to be applied in practical engineering and it has obvious economic benefits and social effect.
