The eccentric compressive behavior of 18 recycled aggregate concrete columns after freezing and thawing cycles were investigated. The effect of the number of freezing and thawing cycles, the replacement ratio of recycled coarse aggregate, and the eccentricity of axial loading on the eccentric compressive behavior of columns was analyzed. The results show that the strain distribution along the depth of cross section of columns was plane during the eccentric compression test after freezing and thawing cycles. With the increase in the freezing and thawing cycles and the replacement ratio of recycled coarse aggregate, the failure modes of partial specimens turned from ductile tension failure to brittle compression failure. Two existing design methods for calculating the bearing capacity of conventional concrete columns subjected to eccentric compressive loading were verified to be effective for evaluating that of recycled aggregate concrete columns after limited freezing and thawing cycles.

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.

Carbonation durability is an important subject for recycled coarse aggregate concrete (RAC) applied to structural concrete. Extensive studies were carried out on the carbonation resistance of RAC under general environmental conditions, but limited researches investigated carbonation resistance when exposed to chloride ion corrosion, which is an essential aspect for reinforced concrete materials to be adopted in real-world applications. This paper presents a study on the carbonation durability of two generations of 100% RAC with the effect of chloride ion corrosion. The quality evolution of recycled concrete coarse aggregate (RCA) with the increasing recycling cycles was analyzed, and carbonation depth, compressive strength and the porosity of RAC were measured before and after chloride ion corrosion. The results show that the effect of chloride ion corrosion negatively affected the carbonation resistance of RAC, and the negative effect was more severe with the increasing recycling cycles of RCA. Chloride ion corrosion led to a decrease in compressive strength, while an increase in carbonation depth and the porosity of RAC. The equation of concrete total porosity and carbonation depth was established, which could effectively judge the deterioration of carbonation resistance of RAC.

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.
