In order to further promote the use of recycled aggregate concrete in practice, axial compression tests were carried out for 7 CFRP circular steel tubular confined recycled aggregate concrete columns. The influence of the replace rate of recycled aggregate concrete, the wrapping method on axial compression behavior of CFRP circular steel tubular confined recycled aggregate concrete columns were analyzed. Based on the results of the tests, with the replace rate of recycled aggregate concrete increasing, the specimens have an decreasing trend in the load bearing capacity. The whole CFRP wrapping circular steel tubular confined recycled aggregate concrete columns have higher load bearing capacity than the three stripe wrapping ones.

In the past decade, directly reusing large pieces of coarsely crushed concrete (referred to as demolished concrete lumps or DCLs) with fresh concrete in new construction was demonstrated as an efficient technique for the recycling of waste concrete. Previous studies investigated the mechanical properties of recycled lump concrete (RLC) containing different sizes of DCLs; however, for actual application of this kind of concrete, little information is known about the influence of the spatial locations of DCLs and coarse aggregates on the concrete strength. Moreover, the mechanical responses of such a concrete containing various shapes of DCLs are also not well illustrated. To add knowledge related to these topics, two-dimensional mesoscale simulations of RLC containing DCLs under axial compression were performed using the discrete element method. The main variables of interest were the relative strength of the new and old concrete, the distribution of the lumps and other coarse aggregates, and the shape of the lumps. In addition, the differences in compression behavior between RLC and recycled aggregate concrete were also predicted. The numerical results indicate that the influence tendency of the spatial locations of DCLs and coarse aggregate pieces on the compressive stress–strain curves for RLC is similar to that of the locations of coarse aggregates for ordinary concrete. The strength variability of RLC is generally higher than that of ordinary concrete, regardless of the relative strength of the new and old concrete included; however, variability has no monotonic trend with an increase in the lump replacement ratio. The mechanical properties of RLC in compression are little influenced by the geometric shape of DCLs as long as the ratio of the length of their long axis to short axis is smaller than 2.0. The compressive strength and elastic modulus of RLC are always superior to those of recycled aggregate concrete designed with a conventional mixing method.
